Welcome back to the list, Jake. And welcome to the Mac World, too.
Thanks for your review of VoiceOver.
Question: how well does VoiceOver work for you when reading native Word
documents and accessible PDFs?
(I mean a really accessible PDF, not one of the millions of junky, poorly
constructed PDFs that aren't fully accessible.)

Hi everybody. My name's Jake, and I was on this list awhile back but had to
unsubscribe, because somehow I was double-posting here. But I just re-joined
yesterday. I got a MacBook Air just after Christmas last year. This is my
first and I really enjoy it. I wasn't too optimistic about using VoiceOver
after hearing mainly negative things about it. However, I have found it to
be an excellent screen reader. I use both Safari and Google Chrome for
browsing the web, and have had little trouble. I also used Chromevox
briefly, but found myself having to deal with constant speech crashes and
the like. Anyway, that's it from me for right now. I'm glad to be back on
the list!
Jake
