Yeah and it wouldn't cost $895, which quite frankly is a bit expensive in my opinion. And no, I'm not bashing anyone or Code Factory etc. I see the benefits of the software and for some $895 is well worth every dime and I can't argue that point. My hope is that maybe other options will bec

Yeah, it's funny how Apple employees are always so willing to learn about VO. None of the ones I've talked to at the store knew how VoiceOver works, and some of them thought that it wasn't really usable by an actual blind person, yet. Just as a joke, after talking to one of them, I turned
