Out of interest, how well does WhatsApp perform on Windows with Jaws and NVDA? On my Mac, VoiceOver focus keeps jumping all over the place, and you can’t read back what you’re typing. #Accessibility
It's pretty decent on the PC. Window spots are the key to using it on the Mac. Here's a wee demo we did a while back if it helps. doubletaponair.com/whatsapp-de…
In this demo, Steven Scott and Michael Babcock discuss how to use WhatsApp on both Mac and PC. On the Mac, Michael Babcock shows us how to navigate through message conversations, compose and send messages, and record voice messages.
@doubletap Cheers, will give it a listen. The most annoying thing, aside from not being able to check what I’ve typed, is getting to the most recent message in a thread, and not staying there when I do!
@kevinrj @doubletap @cachondo Yeah, I think I’ll hold off until the M4 MacBook Air is out though. Almost tempted to switch to Windows, but I have a Windows laptop at work so can afford to stick with Mac myself.
@cachondo @kevinrj @doubletap I like having a foot in both worlds. Without opening a can of worms, there’s a lot I like about Mac and a lot that drives me demented!
@kevinrj @doubletap I'm sure people can be productive on mac,, you especially Kevin wouldn't settle for a system that slowed you down! But I have never had a pressing need to switch, Windows has always been there.
@cachondo @doubletap A friend, now a retired professor of programming, and another macOS user encouraged me to try the Mac, also it has unix built in. At the time, a blind person couldn’t reinstall windows from scratch. I never felt loyalty to windows. NVDA wasn’t very good yet at the time, neither was narrator, 2009. I’d just bought an iPhone 3GS, and Talkback didn’t exist yet. A lot of confluences at the time.
@kevinrj @doubletap I think I'm more inertial than loyal. I don't have any negative experiences to bring to the Windows table, so never saw a need to look for something else. I was a confident JAWS scripter up until I moved to NVDA full time and I guess I've just become quite apathetic about learning a new system. Perhaps that's bad and I need more curiosity
