TECH Macs

I have been using computers for about seven years. I mostly use a mac however I also know how to use  a PC.
Since I regularly use the Mac OS operating system I listened to how to use more specific features of the mac. I listened to and learned about voice over. This feature allows people who are seeing impaired or blind to navigate their computers. This video gave instructions in how to turn on the voice over and how to use it. This feature will tell the uses what they are pointing to or clicking on. Although I often work with a mac I did not realize that this feature even existed so it was very interesting to learn about.
I also listened to the video about speech recognition. This was another feature that i have never worked with, however it is very interesting and useful. It allows users to speak to the computer in order to navigate it. This feature would be very helpful for someone who may be multitasking or not well at navigating manually.
Finally, I listened to how to turn written text into speech. This application would be good for if someone would like to hear something that they have written read to them. It would also be good for those people who may not be able to read a web page easily, they can instead have the computer read it to them. Along with this I learned how to save the spoken text to itunes. Again this could useful for saving speeches and such that you would like to listen to, or have other listen to. This would allow the user to sink the text speech to their ipod so that they could listen to it anywhere. This was another feature that I did not realize existed so it was interesting to learn about, and something that I would like to play with on my own to learn more about.
