VoiceOver

As I continue to “drink the Kool Aid,” I am pleased report that Apple is continuing its move toward making the Mac OSX not only fully accessible but Universally Designed. The latest on this was the release of iWork09 the new version of the Apple “office suite.” The previous version was one of the few Apple applications that did not work with VoiceOver, the built-in screenreading application in Mac OSX.

With the revisions to iTunes and the iTunes website made last fall, and this announcement this week at MacWorld, Apple shows that it continues to “get it” and move towards a fully Univerally Designed operating system.

Keep up the good work. Or, should I say, keep up the good iWork .
