Hello Everyone, 

With the imminent purchase of a Mac Book close at hand, I decided to order a Braille copy of the VoiceOver Getting Started Manual. 

For those of you who may not know, VoiceOver is a software screen reading solution for the blind and low vision to access the Apple operating system.

Don’t worry Microsoft, in no way does this mean I am going to leave my beloved Windows for such a thing is simply not possible.  (Smile) 

However, since I now use the iPhone 3GS it seems only natural to take yet another step on the Apple Brick Road.

On the Apple Accessibility page, it states that should one wish to obtain this manual, simply call the Apple Care telephone number, make the request, pay approximately $30, and the item will be shipped, free of charge, to anywhere in the world. 

Until now, it wasn’t really quite that simple but, today, I am delighted to say that it is, in fact, just that simple courtesy of the gracious help of Apple’s Mr. Tim Luth.

So, should you wish to purchase a Braille copy of the VoiceOver Getting Started Manual, you may either call Apple Care at:
(800)  275-2273 and inform the Apple representative that you wish to order part number:  607-2470 or (and this is what I suggest), simply email Tim at:
luth@apple.com with your contact telephone number, along with an appropriately related Subject line, and he will walk you through the process.

A special thanks to Tim for allowing me to publish his email address.

Mark
