Honestly unsure if I will buy a Mac or IPad or IPhone.
But here is a link to voice Over commands:

Ah, that is why I am making the switch to the apple. NOw my computer
works for me. Yes there are some things that one has to get used too but,
voiceover is a huge leap for mankind and the best part is you don't have
to rob a bank to keep up to date with the rest of the World! Heather

Hello Niam,
Well, the other thing you need to know is what software will be used for
your editing assuming they go Apple and how accessible and useable is it
for the blind in that environment.
I am not an Apple user though I am really getting more interested in it
due to increasing frustrations with Windows and Jaws apparent
instability, I don't know which or if it is a combination but I am
getting tired of working for my computers rather than have them working
for me as it should be.
I have spent decades trying to keep up with technology in the workplace
which, for us usually has the additional layer of our accessibility,
really double the learning for us over our sighted colleagues, my
sympathies and understanding goes with you. Fortunately I am now retired
and out of that treadmill.
I'll see what I can do to help locate appropriate e-mail lists to assist
you.
Dale leavens.

Hi Dale
Calming words thank you.
I am an editor of books so my main worry is can I keep the functionality
of Jaws with J-Tools which enables me to cut and paste at speed.
I have just about adapted to using Jaws and J-Tools, and find it hard to
contemplate another system.
We are one of the few publishing houses still using windows.
Any steer towards blind apple users would be appreciated.
Niamh

Dear Niam,
Before you invest too much, get correct information. Find out for
certain if they are going Apple or not. If you are worried about
something which isn't happening you are worrying unnecessarily and that
is unhealthy with no benefit. If it does happen then you have worried
twice.
What is your computing need at the office? Do you transcribe, clerical
functions, programming?
I am sure someone can assist you to connect with blind Apple users on
the Web.

I am not panicking,yet.
However, it is being rumored in my office that we might go over to
apple, have just started to get to grips with Jaws.
Tried to join a blind apple support group via Google and failed.
Help and advice please, I am sick with worry.
