[BRLTTY] Screen reader for mac

[Cheryl Homiak]

How are you planning to run Mac applications without voiceover? Uness  
you have a strategy of which I'm ot aware or you have partial vision,  
you are going to be severely handicapped to the point of your Mac  
applications other than terminal being totally useless without  
voiceover. Yes, you ca run brltty in terminal but that won't give you  
access to the Mac applications. in my opinion, if you aren't going to  
use the Mac apps, you might as well turn your Mac into a linux box. As  
for doubletalk, the Mac doesn't have serial ports and I don't think  
your doubletalk witll work with a speech program using usb-serial but  
I could be wrong about that. I'm not trying to sound harsh or  
dogmatic; maybe I'm misunderstanding what yu are trying to do, but I  
don't understand how you are planning to use the Mac to any major  
extent with voiceover. If you think you will have trouble with  
learning voiceover, there's an excellent macvoiceover list on  
freelists.org and lots of resources at http:// 
www.icanworkthisthing.com. There is also braille support with Macosx  
but unfortunately not for older devices that use usb-serial. Someday I  
hope to ave a supported braille device but that's down the road a piece.
