Features
Dictionary and Thesaurus
Based on the New Oxford American Dictionary (Second Edition) and the Oxford
American Writer’s Thesaurus (First Edition), the latest versions from the highly respected
Oxford collection of reference resources, the Dictionary and Thesaurus is available
throughout Mac OS X Tiger as a stand-alone application, as a Dashboard widget, and
from the contextual menu (shown here).
VoiceOver
The Universal Access capabilities of Mac OS X provide equal access for everyone to
the power and simplicity of the Mac. Now these capabilities have been enhanced to
include VoiceOver, a spoken interface for those with visual and learning disabilities.
VoiceOver is a fully integrated, built-in screen-reader technology that offers an addi-
tional way to access the Mac. It reads aloud the contents of documents such as web
pages, Mail messages, and word processing files. It provides a comprehensive audible
description of your workspace and all the activities taking place on your computer.
And it includes an extensive set of keyboard commands that allow you to navigate
the Mac OS X interface and interact with application and system controls. If you or
someone you are assisting has visual or learning disabilities, you’ll appreciate how
VoiceOver enhances the rich set of Universal Access features in Mac OS X to ensure
equal access for everyone.
Mac-to-Mac Migration Assistant
Built into Setup Assistant in every new Macintosh is the ability to move all of your
data and settings from your older Mac to your brand-new Mac. One of the most intim-
idating tasks associated with buying a new computer is now simple. Just connect your
two computers using a standard FireWire cable and Mac OS X does the rest, automati-
cally transferring your user accounts, files, settings, and applications from your old Mac
to your new one.
