Have you tried the latest LibreOffice? It was not working with voiceover
last I tried it but I just downloaded the new version today 4.1.4.2 and
so far the word processor is working reasonably well. At least I wasn't
getting the empty document I used to get. I'm on 10.8 so I couldn't
verify if there are issues with Mavericks but other forums say it works
if you get the 64-bit OSX build.

I did research on that. Even Apple said that LibreOffice, and
OpenOffice is fully accessible . When I looked around, the last
accessible format was on Lion, and Openoffice 3.
The Wiki was looks like last updated in 2009.
When I had my Mountain Lion, Openoffice and libreoffice worked, just
can’t hear what I typed, but if I hit VO l, it will read back to me
just fine.
I found a text reader extensions, but the real problem is that the two
apps just won’t run on Maverick, and i see that others are having that
problem.
So, for us on the Mac it is Text Edit, or Pages...

According to the Apache web site, Apache Open office supposedly works
with VO now, but last I tried it I could only access menu bar items
and couldn't actually work with the text in the document. That's been
a while so maybe they fixed it again. LibreOffice claims the same
thing. Did you try them or was this info from a web page. Both are
free so it costs nothing to give them a whirl.

Hello everyone,
Once again, I have another question for here. Long story short my
sister have been blind for years and I just recently lost my vision.
However I jumped to a Mac right away, but my sister is transiting
from Windows XP to Mac. One problem she had was learning Duxbury,
there was none here to teach her. So I did research allay, and I
found out that you can print braille using Openoffice or
libreOffice. With a odt2 extension.
Now here is a kicker, Appentenly LibreOffice and OpenOffice is not
accessible on a Mac, only on Snow Lepord. And now with Maverick,
those two apps won’t run at all.
So, does anyone have a solution to emboss from a Mac? Or is the only
solution is to still run Windows?
Thanks!
