I am a new Mac user. Previously been using windows. Is there a simple guide book to help learn the Mac with voice-over . I currently have a MacBook using yosemite but hopefully will upgrade to the latest. I live in the UK, but I don't suppose it really matters where the book comes from. If the book has tactile diagrams also it'll be very helpful. Many thanks in hope.

Hi!
Hi!
There's loads of resources on here to get you up and running with your mac. I am not sure about braille books, however. I vaguely remember seeing a VO getting started guide in braille that is an exact copy of the VO guide in the help menu on apple's website, not sure if they took it down years ago though. Your best bet is to look at the podcasts, guides, and getting started guide/tutorial. The tutorial is accessed by using CTRL-OPT-CMD F8 and following the prompts.
HTH and good luck!

Hi. try this www.nbp.org I thought they had a book about the Mac, can't remember though. Good luck. They are a company in the united states pretty sure they ship internationally. You mayneed to call to order not sure they accept oline orders outside the U.S.
Another Option
Hello Lincoln6,
Another option is that there is a fantastic book on iTunes as a book that you can download to read. Although it is not in braille but it is an option to consider. Best of all it is free.
