AssistiveWare today announced the release of VisioVoice 1.1. VisioVoice enhances access to Mac OS X for people with vision impairments through a system-wide talking interface and typing echo, text and image zoom windows, large cursors as well as a document and selection reader.
VisioVoice provides naturally sounding voices through the included license of Infovox iVox for one language of choice.VisioVoice can also convert text, Word, PDF, HTML and RTF documents to audio files and iPod and iPhone-ready audiobooks. The new version of VisioVoice will be demoed at the Closing The Gap conference next week.
VisioVoice 1.1 new and improved features:
• Now provides a typing echo as the user types into any application.
• The text zoom window now updates as the user types.
• Talking interface enhanced to work not only with the mouse but also with full keyboard access.
• Talking interface and typing echo support was added for Pages and Keynote (iWork ’08 and later).
• Improved support for reading text in Safari with VisioVoice’s talking interface.
• Improved PDF import with smart-stripping of end-of-line hyphens.
• Japanese localization was added as well as a Japanese translation for the Mac OS X 10.4 version of Apple’s VoiceOver screen reader for blind users. Use with DTalker 3.0 Japanese voices: http://www.createsystem.co.jp/dtalkerMacOSX.html
• Enhanced compatibility with VoiceOver: if the included Infovox iVox voices are used with VisioVoice, VoiceOver will no longer cut-off speech generation.
• Now Leopard-ready.
• Many other improvements and fixes.
While VisioVoice provides as much support as is technically possible for applications that do not support Apple’s accessibility API, best results can be expected when using VisioVoice with accessible applications such as TextEdit, Safari, iChat and others.

I have had this terrible ache in my eyes since I got this glossy MBP.
any suggestions?
Get a peecee
If I could just find this article.
Where are my binoculars?
I would never have gotten the Glossy MBP anyhow, thats a horrible daily computer screen. But head over to an eye doctor and ask for computer glasses they reflect 70% + of all reflections and incomming light to your eyes. You don’t need a current script they can just put the coating on clear lenses. I will make a HUGE difference on your eye strain. Also make sure that with your arm extended fully you can not touch any part of your computer monitor from your seated position.
If you use a laptop buy an extended keyboard bluetooth or wired and use the same arms lengh rule, it will help you greatly.
Good Luck.
PS: If you watch the videos on this companies website those kids playing world of warcraft or unreal tournament are amazing. They all have major disabilities that would sideline most of us but WOW I am still stunned.
There is a limited day return policy, switch the glossy for a matte screen MBP.
Hurry and you might avoid the restocking fee.
Got a glossy iMac. Like it.
This seems like a next generation of the Mac’s own Universal Access features. I’m glad to see this. Anything that Apple can do to get more people using a Mac is fine with me.
