I am another new member, but I am a little more experienced than Marie. I joined this group because I have a job with my church editing documents. We are using Pages and I don’t know a whole lot about pages. We are not using the templates, thank heaven. We are just using it the way one would use text edit so I don’t have a lot to learn but any fine points would be beneficial. This looks like a very good group and I know a few of you from other lists I already know that the Mac is a much better computer than PCs using windows.

The Mac for the Blind website is one I have visited and just downloaded the free tutorial from DEC. I also am familiar with Apple Vis since I have been using the IPhone since 2011 and even do a bit of teaching in it’s use for newly vision impaired individuals. I believe I have the mindset to learn the Mac. Looking forward to the group interaction.

I recommend you visit his web site at macfortheblind.com and look at his audio tutorials. Many are cost-based, but there are about a half dozen basic tutorials that are free, and are very well done. I learned a lot from John’s tutorials, and also from those done by David Woodbridge on appleviz.com (did I spell that one right?). I did a lot of listening and struggling in my first 3 or 4 months using the Mac, but am becoming more comfortable with the Sox approach. I made it a point to become familiar first with the Mail and Textedit apps, and then spent a whole lot of time learning how to get around in Finder. Calendar and Contacts were a bit more difficult to use, and I’m still not comfortable with Contacts. Other places you should spend time poking around would be in the Voiceover Utility and System Preferences. And of course post your questions to this list. There are some real experts on board.
