Thank you ||Maurice. I am retired and my needs are certainly modest. |When thinking about a new system, I have been thinking about the new Mac laptop. I have a number of Bluetooth devices including the Air Pods Max and |I do not care for Windows implementation of Bluetooth. It works, but I find it to be inconsistent. Glad your Mac is working well for you. Best,

What you do is you download VMware and I can’t remember the other company that does any virtual machine install windows install a window screen reader and everything new lock and windows and you are done that’s what I do. And I will chrome I have a 2020 MacBook Pro 13 inch what I was running the windows in virtually because when I’m not using my cell phone as I’m doing right now or dictation I must use windows because that’s the only operating system the dragon supports at this time. So I have a lot of window stuff. But I need some ass. And I have no extreme problems to report. I hope this helps.

PS the virtual machine software as I mentioned above is being offered with no charge by two of the companies. VMware and the other company that I can’t remember the name of at the present time. And it varies with being where my I’ve had no real problems with either Josh or NVDA. Also please be aware that the jobs that you run must be paid to your license and yes you can authorize it and the really really copy of John’s on there with the activation key exceptional no issues.
