VoiceOver Saved my Computing Life
I actually listened to this tutorial before I even got my first Mac, and one thing that impressed me right from the start was that incredible Alex voice. That alone would have made me switch, but I was also impressed with how well the tutorial was laid out. The commands were easy for me to picture in my mind, even before I ever touched an Apple keyboard. And, of course, when I got my Mac, VoiceOver Getting Started became a valuable resource. Even now, I'll go back to a chapter just to see if I can learn just one more new command I can play with. I'm a totally blind VoiceOver user, and I must say, VoiceOver was the easiest screen reader I've ever learned in my life, thanks, mostly, to this tutorial. Besides, VoiceOver kicks Windows screen readers in the behind!
This Is great. Makes VoiceOver easier
I will definitely save this for when I get my MacBook. Thanks for the tutorials, Apple.
