I am not a developer but I have a daughter with a vision impairment who currently uses an ipad because of its voice over inbuilt software. She also has nvda on her windows computer which she prefers to jaws which the schools promoted. I use ultimate edition on one of my computers but didn't find it had good vi accessibilty. I didn't know about vinux. We also have an apple mac pro and I have had a brief look at the voiceover on it which disabled the mouse and forces the use of the keypad. I find that voiceover on the iphone and ipad is great except for on the internet as it stops reading link words and its too hard to find them with a finger to continue reading. Can anyone give me a comparison of the functionality differences between alvic, voice over on ipads, voiceover on macbooks, nvda and jaws? I need something simple to learn and simple to use. I don't care about cost, just a true comparison of functionality please.

ALViC has all these features. Login to ALViC and press Ctrl+Alt+k (same as in Vinux) to get a list of functions and key-bindings. Keybindings for functions mentioned by you are - Function ALViC key Vinux key Toggle monitor on/ off Ctrl+Alt+m Ctrl+Alt+m Mute/ unmute volume Super+Alt+Down Orca+End Raise volume Super+Alt+Right Orca+PgUp Lower volume Super+Alt+Left Orca+PgDown Speak battery status Orca+y Orca+a Speak clipboard text Orca+d Orca+r Speak time Orca+t Orca+t Speak date Orca+tt Orca+tt Some ALViC keybindings differ from Vinux for good reason. Vinux keybinding Speak battery status (Orca+a) clashes with and disables Orca Calc keybinding Read input line (Orca+a). Vinux keybinding Read clipboard text (Orca+r) clashes with and disables Orca Calc keybinding Set row as dynamic column header (Orca+r). ALViC avoids this overlap by using different keybindings. Vinux keybindings for volume have changed only recently, earlier they were identical to ALViC's. There is no question of getting offended by users' feedback. We highly value feedback if it is based on facts. ALViC has following new features which Vinux or any other distros do not have. Please try out ALViC and give us feedback on these features. <ul>Skim reading Navigation by sentence Structural navigation of text documents PDF documents made accessible Easy navigation on Desktop icon view Enabling Numpad when Numlock is on Enabling echoes for Super a...</ul> Thanks and regards.
