No unexpectedly quitting for me. A Mac reboot every now and then isn't a
bad idea.

Hello Chris,
Smacks forehead on desk. I am an idiot. I was trying to get OpenOffice
and LibreOffice from a installation back when I got my Mac last March…
I fail. I spent almost all day doing research allay and never though
I’d update the apps! sees.
So that’s what I did, I updated both OpenOffice and Libre, and
OpenOffice is still having Voiceover problems, but it loos like Libre
is now user friendly.
Now, it is maybe my Mac needs a reboot, but both apps quit unexpedatly
when I close them. So I don’t know that is a problem or not.
Now I’m am trying to install a Libre extension called odt2 that is
supposed to translate to braille. I know my braille instructor does
that on a Windows machine.

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!
