Eureka!

I know what I am going to do with this blog at least for awhile. I am going to turn it into a blog to help people with MAC computers, actually blind people especially. Although it will hopefully help both blind and sighted people. This inspiration comes from a video I watched. I thought who better to tell sighted people then an actual blind person. I hope this will help people learn the MAC and that way more sighted people will be able to help out the blind.

First thing I need to say, is that the MAC is ready to use right out of the box. You can technically do not even have to be sighted to start it up. It can be started with voiceover.

Voiceover is what allows everything on the screen to be read to a blind person. All MAC products have this technology on them. I use to have a PC, but made the change over and I am glad I did.

If you are sighted go to system preferences and then go to accessibility. Once there, there is an option for voiceover. Select that and the computer will start talking to you. There is also an option to turn voiceover on and off. Click this option and then all that has to be done is hit command f5 to turn it on and off.

This will help those who want to know get started. I will write more next week. I want to spread this out as much as possible. I won't talk all about it at once. Till next week, enjoy.
