Hello everyone. I use Duxbury on my Mac Mini. Duxbury is not supported on the Mac platform so I use it with Windows 7 running on the Mac in VMFusion. VMFusion allows me to set up Virtual Machines so that I can run different operating systems side by side. Right now, I'm answering you on my Mac Mini using Microsoft Outlook and Windows 7. Snow Leopard is running as well. I do all of my editing and translation on my Mac Mini using Microsoft Word and Duxbury. I then save my .dxb file to dropbox and when I'm at church where our embosser is located I launch Duxbury and open the .dxb file from drop box. It works very well. I assume that if I needed it I could get a usb to parallel converter so that I could connect a Versapoint Duo to the mini but I haven't needed to do this yet. Has anyone tried it?

I have been using PC for over 25 years, and have no experience with Mac computers whatsoever. I am totally blind, and hope that some of you will be willing to help me decide whether to make the change. I use JAWS for Windows version 12.01, Kurzweil 1000 version 12.4 for text to speech scanning, and Duxbury Braille Translator Version 10.4 for braille embossing. First, does any one know if Kurzweil and Duxbury work with Macs? I know JAWS won't. Second, Does Voice Over work well with the following languages: Japanese, Spanish and German? Can you switch between languages easily? For example, I am trying to learn Japanese, but still need English, can Voice Over handle both of these languages at the same time, and can one input in a word processing document and have both languages read? Third, Does Mac work with the following hardware products?: Epson 1660 flat-bed scanner, HP Laserjet 1020 Printer, Sony DVD/CD disc Recorder, I forget which model I have. I'd rather not have to purchase more peripherals if I don't have to. Many thanks in advance.
