All,

Mavericks has a ton of new features some which benefit accessibility.

The iCloud keychain is a new feature which you will find quite accessible and 
useful.

garageband has been enhanced and made more attractive with new interface 
implementations.

We have new voices.  I believe they are from the vocalizer family.

olliver is a new british voice as is kate.  Vena is a new indian femail voice.  
There are new russian voices and probably other language voices as well but 
I’ve not looked at them.  Allison and ava and susan are us english voices I 
think.

To get the new voices, you’ll need to go to customize in speech/voices in vo 
utility and choose them and they will download.  It may take a while depending 
on traffic and the speed of your connection.

What do you like about mavericks so far?  What questions do you have?  What 
issues do you have?

Thanks!
