20/05/05 - New Apple Operating System has built in Screen Reader

Apple computer users can access email, websites, and word processing using a built in text-to-speech translator as part of the new version of Apple's OS X operating system codenamed 'Tiger' launched in April 2005. 

The "Voice Over" translator (http://fastlink.headstar.com/tiger1) is compatible with the email application "Tiger Mail 2"; "Safari", a desktop tool for setting up live feeds of news and information; and "Preview", a suite for reading and producing documents in Adobe Portable Document Format (PDF).
