Main Digest
Accessibility is the successful access to information and information technologies by people with disabilities.
"VoiceOver has taken a quantum leap forward in its ability to navigate the web, providing dramatic performance improvements, new commands for greater control, improved compatibility, and support for emerging accessibility standards " - Apple
By using VoiceOver, a person can access their Macintosh or iOS device based on spoken descriptions and, in the case of the Mac, the keyboard. The feature is designed to increase accessibility for blind and low-vision users, as well as for users with dyslexia. VoiceOver is included on the latest versions of Apple's iPod Shuffle and iPod Nano, as well as recent Macs and iOS devices.
If you're blind or have low vision, you can enjoy the simplicity, security, and reliability of the Mac using VoiceOver.
It's built into the Mac OS X operating system that comes with every new Mac and sets a new standard for screen readers. VoiceOver also includes support for many Braille displays for those who are both blind and deaf. In addition, VoiceOver includes features for those that cannot use the mouse, such as keyboard based navigation. For users with MacBooks or Magic Trackpads, a number of special multi-touch features are also available.
Further information on VoiceOver can be found on the Apple website at www.apple.com/accessibility/mac/vision/
