A First Look at Tiger’s new VoiceOver
Tuesday, May 10th, 2005Jason Wong’s dad is apparently visually handicapped, so they were excited to hear about the new screen reader that’s part of the new OS X.
This is just the first of what I hope is many posts. The need for screen readers is sure to become more and more prevalent as computer usage embeds itself more and more deeply into our society (and as baby boomers head into old age and start to lose faculties).
An interesting snippet:
I was told that Apple had a blind person in QA, testing Voiceover for over a year. What’s more, he was using the 12″ Powerbook, with the lcd removed, making it the lightest Apple laptop ever built.
