Software accessible with voiceover.
There has been some questions as to what software programs are compatible with voiceover (Apple's built-in screen reader for OSX Tiger) Here is a partial list of usable software. I'm sure this is by no means exhaustive, and it will change over time, but it should get you started.
First, the apple software included with Tiger.
Completely accessible apps include:
Apple script, Calculator, Chess, IChat, Mail, preview, safari, sherlock, quicktime, system preferences, and textedit.
Under the utilities folder, there are a number of accessible apps. These include:
activity monitor, airport admin utility, airport setup assistant, bluetooth file exchange, console, Disk Utility, keychain access, network utility

Obviously, we need to work out a method of determining which apps work well, which ones can be made to work, and which ones don't work at all. Suggestions are greatfully accepted.
Email them to software@softcon.com, and we'll incorporate them here.
We hope this helps.
