word processing beyond MS Word

Here’s another question for the group: One of the main reasons I’m considering abandoning MacOS for Windows is that I have to send and receive MS Word docs, often with track changes and comments. I primarily work in Scrivener and export to Word, but I can’t give up word entirely because I need

quick nav on quick nav off

Hi there, All the live-long day, I am inadvertently turning quick nav on and off. This happens when I press only one arrow key. It happens often while writing: I'll arrow over to a word earlier in a sentence, and then suddenly quick nav will be on, or the cursor will behave erratically, and I'll

Re: app suggestions for the mac that can easily bookmark my pdf manuals?

Hi Chuck, I’ve been using Voice Dream Reader, which imports many formats including PDF and saves your place. Also handy features like making it easy to add bookmarks to untagged pdfs, navigate by heading for structured docs like epub or DAISY, etc. It’s not free and copying text is 1000 percent

Re: I am done for now with the Mac.

Dear Anders, I appreciate your candor here. Early this year, I bounced back to the Mac after a few years on Windows/NVDA, and while I don’t rely on braille (I’m a low-vision user of magnification+speech), I do try to keep my Mantis connected to my Mac most days as a way of keeping my braille ski

Hi karen, I haven’t tested it with VoiceOver, but I have many colleagues who use otter.ai, which I believe can handle m4a easily. Warmly, Andrew > On May 22, 2025, at 12:55 PM, Karen Lewellen wrote: > > Staff managing this task are in the u. s...so likely. > Thanks. > > > > On Thu, 22 May 20

Re: Voiceover Rotor

Hey ET, My experience of the rotor on MacOS is that it’s contextual. So if I'm in calendar.app, e.g., and I hit VO-U, I get window spots and a “content chooser” that gives me a list of all the day’s items (which, incidentally, I find much easier to navigate than using normal VO nav). In mail.
