Go figure, I don't have an iPad. I don't think I'll be able to  get one. :-( I 
wonder if textbooks will someday be available on the iPhone. what about on the 
Mac?

Accessible textbook content and free iPad and iPhone App Development book [was Re: Adobe Digital Editions Question.]

[Esther]

Hi Josh,

I'm pretty sure Adobe Digital Editions wouldn't work with shockwave files, 
which are flash-based. Adobe Digital Editions Preview is designed for eBook 
formats (PDF or ePub) which have Adobe's ADE DRM.  Shockwave files don't 
necessarily have any DRM, to my knowledge, but are flash-based players.  
They're sometimes used to illustrate educational material. Since Adobe doesn't 
support any accessibility hooks for playing its flash content on a Mac, I'm not 
sure how usable this will be.  You'd have to download the most current version 
of Adobe's flash player for the Mac, and I'm not sure that you could navigate 
to the controls.  By contrast Adobe Digital Editions Preview has nothing to do 
with flash content.

I'm hopeful that the new iPad based textbook material will be able to replace 
shockwave content for education.  One of the reasons I've been tracking the 
iPad iOS usage is that the iPad has been targeted for the development of 
textbook applications by Publishers, and early inputs from VoiceOver users has 
worked to keep these accessible.  Even though a particular textbook may not 
have graphical information, a publisher is simply not going to invest in 
large-scale textbook efforts for iOS if the platform doesn't accommodate all 
the textbook material he wants to make available.  (I can't imagine a publisher 
deciding that it's economically worthwhile to selectively leave out textbooks 
with pictures for biology, anatomy, and the medical sciences, just in order to 
put some restricted subset of his textbook content onto the iPhone.)  I know 
that some iPad developers, such as Inkling, have brought over Psychology texts 
onto the iPad.  Incidentally, Inkling also partnered with the Frommer's travel 
guides to bring out travel guide apps for the iPad with retina graphics support 
when the third generation iPads came out.  I was pleasantly shocked to find out 
that these guides were entirely accessible --- all the photographs and images 
were tagged with descriptions of their content. They're not the only textbook 
publishers on the iPad platform.

As another example that interactive textbook content can be accessible. I'll 
note there is a recently announced free book to go along with the free Stanford 
University course on "iPad and iPhone Application Development" taught by Paul 
Hegarty and available through iTunes U.  The free book of the same name has 
material that complements the course, and is available for download from 
iBooks.  (The book can only be viewed in iBooks 2 or later using an iPad that 
is running iOS 5.0 or later.)  It appears to be accessibile, though I've only 
read through the first bits.

Here are the relevant links, if anyone is interested:
• The iTunes U course on "iPad and iPhone Application Development"  by Paul 
Hegarty, Stanford University, Fall 2011
https://itunes.apple.com/us/itunes-u/ipad-iphone-application-development/id473757255
• The free iBook by Daniel H. Sternberg supplementing the same course (iPad 
only)
https://itunes.apple.com/us/book/ipad-iphone-app-development/id572052683?mt=11

HTH. Cheers,

Esther

Typing & spelling apps.

[Danny Noonan]

Hi all. Being recently unemployed for the first time in over a decade, I'm back 
to school next year whilst searching out employment. With this in mind, there 
are several things that will help me with this. 

I have an affliction that many VIP's suffer from although mine is a very bad 
case. I am an atrocious speller and always have been. Is there either on Mac OS 
or iOS, any app that could help me improve my spelling? I do know about spell 
check, I use it when I have the time but the drawback, esp on a stupid pc is 
that it takes so much time and in a classroom or office environment, the time 
correcting can and should be used to complete other tasks.

Secondly, is there any speed typing app for Mac OS that is VO friendly? I want 
to be able to test my speed and accuracy so as to improve and to be able to put 
correct stats in my Resumes etc.

All the rest of the things I need to know regard the fact that I have to do 
these certificates on pc's so now have to find out about JFW, Office and all 
that horrible stuff all over again. Back to using VO shortcuts in windows all 
over again. 

Thanks in advance.

Hi Jim,

No, it's not currently possible to read line-by-line in Adobe Digital Editions 
Preview.  However, you can use VO-Shift-C to copy the contents of the current 
page to clipboard, and then paste into TextEdit, where you can read the copied 
contents line-by-line, or use any of the other VoiceOver reading options.

HTH.  Cheers,

Esther

Re: Walgreen's App problem

Hi Jeff,
I just updated my apps, and now the buttons seem to work.
I do a scan, but it does not find the Walgreen's barcode, or QR code, nor 
does the 2x button find anything off the prescription container.

When I double-tap on the button, it does nothing.
It is that way for all the buttons.
I even went into page two, and tried to open settings, and nothing happened 
there either.

Hi Glenn,

Initially it didn't work on my 64GB 4S either -- from a VO perspective, it 
appeared to hang on a blank screen.  After clearing all items from the task 
switcher, and restarting my phone, I can now use the two features of 
interest to me which are the weekly add and shopping list.

Hi All,
I have an iPhone 5, and I have the Walgreen's pharmacy app installed.
I originally installed it on my iPhone 4, and it worked on that phone.
I ported all my apps via iTunes onto my new phone, so it was not installed
directly to the iPhone 5.
I only mention this because I don't believe this to be the problem.
I am wondering if anyone else has the Walgreen's pharmacy app and have
gotten it to work lately?
I suspect that Walgreen's updated it since I originally got it and caused 
it

to not work with VoiceOver.
All of the buttons are labeled as before, but double-tapping on them does
not work.
Thanks for any feedback.

 Hi Sarah
 
 The way I get around this for a single cue sheet and FLAC album is just 
 have XLD set as the default app for opening cue sheets and then just open 
 it as normal if you see what I mean.
 
 But this doesn't answer the question regarding batch conversions.  What I 
 am trying to do is batch convert a lot of cue sheets, across multiple 
 folders and sub-folders, and preserve the folder structure upon 
 conversion.  That task is one which I cannot find any software which will 
 let me perform.  I'm basically converting all of our massive music 
 collection into FLAC tracks, so that my broadcast software, which I won't 
 discuss here because it would be off topic,  will get the best quality 
 sound.

Re: Tavles: Serious bug with Voiceover

[Christopher-Mark Gilland]

David,

Frankly even in Bean, I can't read tables.  Not only can't I read them in 
Bean, I can't even create them!  The dialog that lets me do so is really 
strange.  When I open it, I try either with the stepper, or with manually 
typing into the text box the number of rows I need in the table.  As soon as 
I do, everything including the rows box I just tried typing into gets 
dimmed.  Not only that, but the row text box where I typed in that I 
wanted... say... 3 rows, not only gets dimmed along with everything else, 
but even odder, it resets itself to 0 rows, and basically sets all other 
values as well to 0.  It's totally! cockeyed!  I don't get it!


Thank you kindly,

Christopher-Mark Gilland.

This is, unfortunately, one of the reasons why I have not been able to 
move
completely from Windows to a Mac environment. Support from Voiceover here 
is

frankly dreadful.  As I understand it this is a long running issue which
Apple has failed to fix.

There are various clunky workarounds including using the Numbers 
spreadsheet

to read your tables, and using service commands to open the table and read
it in Text Edit. I also found that there is sometimes some basic reading
support for Tables in the free Bean Word  Processor.

This is OK for the occasional  table but if you have to seriously handle 
and

read tables  on a consistent basis with full title and row header reading
support, I do not think there is a viable Mac solution at the moment.  For
example I am currently conducting a disciplinary investigation which
involves  receiving multiple pages of evidence, many of which contain 
audit
and other data in table format. My only practical way of handling this is 
to

return to windows.

Safari can handle tables pretty well so I am sure it could be technically
achieved. It is a shame really and is so essential for serious work I 
cannot

understand why Apple have not addressed this rather than focussing on the
latest visual effect.

Subject: Tavles: Serious bug with Voiceover
Importance: High

Hello.
I am hoping that someone from Mac-Access can help me.

I have been writing a document in Pages regarding a few topics which I am
researching. One of the things that I need to accomplish is to insert a
table into my document. I have correctly inserted the table at the 
position

of my insertion point, and then proceeded to enter the table's data. I am
determining however that Voiceover is refusing to read anything within the
table area. If I use my arrow keys to navigate through the document, I 
only

hear "new line" when the table is found.

I have attempted using VO+R as well as VO+Command+C in order to better
understand where I am located in the table. I have also tried tabbing and
Shift+tabbing through the document, in hope of finding something
identifiable. Finally, I have even tried pressing CTRL+Command+T to move 
to

the next table. This presented no success.

I have attempted to create tables with Pages as well as with Text Edit and
have experienced this strange behavior using both applications. Any help
with this issue would be appreciated. Have a pleasant day.

Cordially,
Chris Gilland.

Hi Gordon and Sarah,

I think the developer of X Lossless Decoder is Taihei Monma, with a possible

That matches the "tmkk" part of the URL address given in the (English version

Maybe Sarah can verify this.
