Boy do I understand. Mini when running is totally baffling to me. I have found
no program or blog or anything that starts from absolute zero. Right now, all I
want to do is read and answer email, surf and be able to enter in Safari, and
find out where to transfer files to so I can read them in Pages and work with
them. Don't feel bad. Right now I can't even get my Mac running again. If it
wasn't a Christmas gift, want to throw it out the door! Only thing is, patience
and playing got me where I am with iPhone, and really don't want Mini to defeat
me so nothing for it but to keep trying!

Since dictation won't do what I need it to do in Pages, I'll try to find
something that will. Just not right now. I've still got to many little odd
things I don't know how to do on my new computer, and it exhausts me trying to
figure them out.
As for VoiceOver, I tried to run training program three times over the last few
weeks, and couldn't get it to do what it was supposed to do within the program.
I printed off a many page document from AppleVis a few days ago, and tried
that yesterday. Extremely frustrating. I was able to get it to work in Pages
about as well as the regular reading program. As for on the Internet, not at
all. It read the tabs and nothing on the pages. I'm setting it aside for now.
Everyone usually comes to me for computer tech advice, reformatting, and
more. When I read the comments and questions on this, and other blind computer
sites, I feel like I'm reading a combination of Greek and Chinese. I'm totally
lost.
I'd rather spend the next couple of weeks doing what I can do. Rather than
spending them trying to figure out how to do something, that a person could
show me how to do correctly in five minutes. Somehow there is a missing key
and I have to figure out what it is. Or better yet, have someone show me.
In a couple of weeks, I have my tech evaluation for the state. Or maybe
they're just going to set the date, I'm not sure. It takes forever to get
through the state program. I've been working on it for six months.
I'm also slowly learning braille. I figure I will have to use a braille
display at some point. Talking for the dictation program exhausts me, and makes
my jaw hurt. Due to hearing loss, I have trouble comprehending spoken words, so
VoiceOver may not work for me either.
I will keep checking back to learn new computer skills. At this point,
I'm not sure I have anything to offer anyone else. I don't even recognize a
tenth of the programs mentioned.
Thanks for all your help.
