The macbook Pro has a track pad, thus, no keystrokes required to use
Voiceover. If you have an iPhone/iPod/iPad, and use voiceover on there, you
will be fine. Whenever I come in contact and have to use a Mac, that's my
way of dealing with my unfamiliarity with VO.

Hello Mark
Thank you very much for your reply. It is such a comfort to know that
someone else in the world understands what I am going through.
I applaude you on your use of JAWS. I have tried to use it in the past
(when I used windows as my main operating system) but I could not get
the hang of it because of all the keystrokes...I ended up going
straight back to zoomtext.
Anyway, I think you are right about forcing myself to use voiceover. I
have tried it before but failed, which is why i only use it when
reading long bodies of text. In the same instance with JAWS, I think a
big part of the issue is not being able to memorise all of the
keyboard shortcuts in order to function fully. I just cant imagine
being able to do everything without a mouse.
Do you know of a good way to learn all of the shortcuts? I mean I know
basic VO commands but i couldn't do half of the stuff that i am used
to doing with my mouse. Do you know of any good VO guides? and
shortcut lists?
Sometimes I laugh at myself. I am legally blind, however, I know I use
my vision before any other senses at times...
Do you use a mac full time? you mentioned that you still use windows -
is it through bootcamp?
Thanks again
Charlie
