hey deedra, Apple was beta testing VoiceOver before tiger came out.
Since nobody really did anything to make OS X accessible, having given
up at the small user base, Apple decided to take matters into their
own hands.
IMO, the accessibility features in OS X are fantastic, but only
because there's nothing to compare it to - a little is better than
nothing. A lot of the features like magnification work well, but
VoiceOver is still clearly beta and limited and is not all too great
if you're using a non-Apple application. However, it's most
definately more usable than Microsoft Narrator and the likes. Apple's
Accessibility team did a good job with starting, here's to hoping they
make it more advanced and less buggy than it is right now.
Cheers
