Good afternoon Carolyn,
I think that I can safely say that most of us who have made the switch
have been there, or are in some part still there. I actually do the
majority of my web browsing in Firefox with JAWS running as a virtual
machine on my Mac.
Just to clarify though, I'm not actually writing on this topic, just
would like to give a reference to an article on the topic as part of
the article that I am writing on my mission to find a good word
processor.
Thanks,
Everett Zufelt

I am trying to make the transition of which you are writ
ing, and confess it's been very slow. The differences in how
material is presented on the screen by a probram such as Jaws vs
voice-over has me really pretty well stumped. Case in point, there
is a grocery-store website, (kingsoopers.com) that I regularly
peruse with my PC. I usually view items in categories, ad them to
my list and keep browsing. I tried using my macbook pro with vo for
this task yesterday and gave up completely in frustration. I
couldn't get signed in, couldn't get the categories to read
properly, nor could I get the computer to even stay in the site I
was trying to work on. Then if I selected an item to add to the
list, I was taken back to the beginning of the website.
Or getting hung up in "Safari busy,... busy ... busy ..."Now, I'm
not writing simply to whine, though it feels that way. What I'm
expressing is that what is for some a very simple transition has for
me been a love/hate relationship. And while I get lots of
information tidbits, from very gracious folks who are successfully
doing the Mac thing, somehow they're not assimilating into an
understanding of how VO presents info and how best to interact with
it. I've always been someone who could pretty much figure things
out, but this computer and transition from windows with Jaws to
Snowleopard and VO has me feeling very humbled.
Anyway, thanks for reading.

Good afternoon,
I am writing a blog post in which I would like to reference an
article or blog post that gives a good explanation of the paradigm
shift between windows screen-readers and VoiceOver. All
suggestions appreciated.
Thanks,
