The Tech Doctor Blog and Podcast

In this Tech Doctor podcast, Robert and Allison talk with Janet Ingber the author of
Everything You Need to Know to Use the Mac with Yosemite and VoiceOver
The book is available from National Braille Press.

While some of the information in this book was carried forward from Janet’s first book about learning the Mac, she specifically focuses on everything that is new in the latest Mac OS called Yosemite. There is enough new in Yosemite to justify purchasing this new book even if you have read the first one.

This book is ideal for anyone who wants to gain a clear understanding of what using the Mac with VoiceOver is all about. The book is appropriate for anyone who is considering a Mac as well as the already up and running Mac user who wants to learn the important details about working with Apple Mail, Safari, Text Edit, the Finder, the Notification Center and much more.

Robert and Allison agree that this is a very important book because anyone who follows Janet’s step-by-step instructions can successfully get up and running on the Mac with VoiceOver. It is exciting to finally have clear and thorough documentation on using VoiceOver with Yosemite.
