This is impossible with other screen readers, because you have to install the programs first. Whatever my mouse goes over is read also. There are also shortcut keys for things so the mouse isn't needed quite as much as you think it is is you know what your doing. To read any webpage you can use your mouse until it says something or you can use shortcut keys to read things or jump to the thing you are looking for.

Didn't anyone have to turn on VoiceOver for you? Or did it come already switched on? How do you deal with the mouse-oriented interface on the Mac? There are lots of things which require the use of the mouse on the Mac and, unlike on Windows, don't have well-known keyboard shortcuts. Also, when browsing a web page which has columns, do you just have to move the mouse until you get to where the text is? Or is there some other way of finding where things are in a complicated page or program? Hi there,
