VoiceOver Getting Started for Mac OS X v10.4 Tiger

Introduction to Mac OS X

This podcast is a spoken recording of Apple's 90-page VoiceOver Getting Started manual for Mac OS X v10.4 "Tiger." It is organized into ten episodes representing each chapter in the manual. VoiceOver is an accessibility technology built into Mac OS X for the blind and others with visual disabilities. It is a full-featured "screen reader" that speaks audible descriptions of the activities taking place on the computer, including the contents of documents, email, and webpages. It also provides a complete set of keyboard commands you use to control the computer without using the mouse. If you are new to Mac OS X and VoiceOver, Apple highly recommends that you listen to each episode in order. However, if you are already familiar with VoiceOver, you’re invited to skip to any episode that interests you. The contents of this podcast are also available in tagged PDF format, .brf (electronic braille) format, and embossed braille.
