You really should explore the dashboard more, as yes, there are tons of widgets
that are totally accessible. Yes, there is a weather widget, although in my
opinion, if you have Mountain Lion, you'd really then be much better off
getting Menuweather. I've been able to check stocks, news, sports, even
traffic, I found a white/yellow page database lookup widgit, although again,
I'd recommend the yellow pages app for that as it does residential as well, Not
that I have children, God do I wish I did, but there is another widgit that
even will give up to the minute, I believe it is, school closings/delays.
So, yeah, over all, I think dashboard is quite nice to have.
Chris.

Subject: Re: Color me stupid, but dashboard is accessible.
I don't use it, because I just open spotlight or my applications folder and
open what I want. Are there dashboard widgets that people find helpful? I
suppose a weather and system monitor could be handy...

Hello,
I’m not sure if I was just incredibly ignorant of the fact, but dashboard
is totally accessible. By totally accessible, I mean you can pick the various
widgets you want to interact with using VO.
By pressing VO+F2 twice, just like you were going into window chooser, it
brings up a dashboard menu, allowing you to pick any widget currently installed
on your system.
I just thought folks would find that info useful, seeing as when I was
actually on a call with apple accessibility trying to find out that info, I
stumbled onto it myself.
