Re: MagicJack IOS app.
Hello Geoff, As you know, I have two MJ accounts, one is the Magic Jack Plus, and the other is the older, traditional account where you plug a device into the USB port of your Mac or PC. Do you know if the MJ app for the iPhone would allow me to use one of these two accounts, or would I have to create yet another account? Thanks and take care, Mike On 26,Jan,2012, at 6:45 AM, Geoff Waaler wrote: Greetings y'all, While fighting the MJ site to ascertain their international rates I discovered the existence of a free of charge MagicJack app; it was the first one displayed when searching on the string: magicj in the US app store.

Re: MagicJack IOS app.
Hi Mike, Upon initial launch, a dialog is presented where you can choose an existing account. Now on the my.magicjack.com site, my number is associated with my iPhone and MJ device. Presumably I will receive in-coming calls on the iPhone, but I've not yet had an opportunity to verify that. This app does not insert a tab in your phone settings, so to change accounts you would launch the app, double tap the account tab--advanced--forget this device. Best regards.

Re: Kindle Books and Mac Access
Hello I have used the Kindle itself and Kindle for PC extensively for about a year now. Almost all the books I wish to read are text-to-speech accessible and they arrive (after purchase) within 11 seconds. The PC and the Kindle synchronise within a few seconds once you change from one piece of hardware to the other. My question is the same though: are Kindle books accessible on the Mac? The actual text is not read via the user's access software but via the inbuilt speech both on the Kindle and Kindle for PC. Every good wish Christo On 27 Jan 2012, at 15:57, Martin McCormick wrote: Are the Kindle books accessible on a Mac/ipad? There was discussion a year or so ago about how the original Kindle Reader is inaccessible due to its navigation not being accessible and that certain books could not be read aloud once someone got to that feature because the publisher wanted to disable being able to read it aloud so as not to compete with sales of the audio form of the book. If one uses an ipad to buy Kindle books, can you normally read them with Voiceover? I realize that this is a bad question because some Ebooks may just be image files of actual printed pages so you would need an OCR program to read them. I might actually buy an ipad one of these days if you can usually read the things that are available.

Hi Eric, You can set apps to behave differently. In settings--notifications double tap and item under the heading: in notification center such as messages. Near the bottom is a button labeled repeat alert. The possible choices range from never to alerts repeat at two minute intervals. Also, as you probably already know, there is a toggle switch in settings--general--accessibility--voiceOver--speak notifications in locked screen which can suppress automatic announcements.

Re: Cursor Headache
Hello Christo, In TextEdit, if you want VO commands to work, you must interact with the text area. If you do that, then VO-FN-Up Arrow will take you up a page, and with Down Arrow you'll go down a page. Here are the non VO navigation commands: Right Arrow - moves right one character; Left Arrow - moves left one character; Option-Right Arrow - moves right one word; Option-Left Arrow - moves left one word; Command-Right Arrow - moves to the end of the line; Command-Left Arrow - moves to the beginning of the line; Command-Up Arrow - moves to the beginning of the document; Command-Down Arrow - moves to the end of the document; Option-Up Arrow - moves up one paragraph; Option-Down Arrow - moves down a paragraph; Holding down the Shift key with any of these commands will highlight the text. To learn about VO commands, press VO-h-h and look at the menus.

No, Kindle books are not accessible on the Mac.

Re: Kindle Books and Mac Access
Thank you. I have been working with computers now for 33 years starting with the Apple II in January of 1979 and one of my favorite gripes has been that eubicquitous accessibility was always just around the corner. You do get that condition on a circular track. Eubicquitous accessibility simply means that it is everywhere you need it. As long as the Apple products contain Voiceover or if Android accessibility ever becomes real and is incorporated in to all Android devices, we will finally have a different world. We're not quite there, but you can almost see it or hear it now. Notice, I didn't mention the most common operating system. It's certainly got accessibility if you spend enough, plan far enough in advance and hope to goodness the application you need to use was written correctly. We've had that kind of access since the sixties or so. It's not the same thing. Martin Christo Thiardt writes: I have used the Kindle itself and Kindle for PC extensively for about a year now.

Re: pictures on the i-phone
Hello Krystal You really do need to have a list of your photos with their numbers, unless of course you only have a couple at a time and, as Sarah says, you can remember them. In theory you can label them by two-finger tapping once and then very quickly again and holding your fingers down. you may, of course, need someone with sight to tell you what your pictures are so you can label them, or make a list and then label them. The problem is, again as Sarah and others have pointed out, there seems to be a bug in VO in that labelled icons (or photos) don't seem always to retain their labels. Labelling's a great idea, but not if ithings don't stay labelled from one session to another.

Re: Kindle Books and Mac Access
Hello Martin, The books I buy from Kobo are epub format but with DRM. The application I use to read them on my Mac is Adobe Digital Editions Preview, not Apple's Preview application installed on all Macs. The Adobe Digital Editions Preview application is still in beta, but it's free and works. You have to press Right arrow to turn a page as it won't read continuously. The Kobo app on the iPhone does, however, normally read straight through a chapter, but you have to go back to the contents page to open the next chapter. However, links do work. Oh, by the way, I'm not in the UK, I'm in France, so the iBook store only offers me French language books and I prefer to read for pleasure in English. cheers, Anne On 27 Jan 2012, at 20:44, Martin McCormick wrote: Thanks again. I've read many a PDF on my Mac at work using preview so if that works, that is definitely something I may look in to.

It is a wonderful program, but I think it is all they can do to keep up with best sellers and other widely-circulated materials. You probably have similar issues in the UK, but I digress.

Re: Daisy to mp3 converter for mac?
Hello! I have that program for PC. It was made by a particular person to extract the mp3 files embedded in a daisy book and give them names in order for them to appear in order if placed in a playlist. Many people here are asking for that same function in mac environment. The program for PC asks you where is your daisy book located and then, where you want it to create the mp3 folder. Well, If somebody can hel, it will be great! Thanks! SALUDOS, DANIELA R.T. MACNETICOS, APPLE Y ACCESIBILIDAD A TU ALCANCE.

I come now with a question, and a challenge if somebody knows how to program for mac OS. a lot of blind people doesn't like to read with daisy format, so they convert the books into simple mp3 files. There are programs for PC that take the smile or XML file, and reorder the mp3 files in names with consecutive numbers, so if they are played or transferred to any devise, the files can appear in the real book's order; and for example, they can be added to iTunes as regular audiobooks and not in daisy. In mac, how ever, I don't know anything that can do this, though I know that the operation would not be so difficult, but I don't know mac programming. Any ideas for this? May be an Apple script could help? Thank you so much for your ideas! SALUDOS, DANIELA R.T. MACNETICOS, APPLE Y ACCESIBILIDAD A TU ALCANCE.

Re: Working with external Drive
Hi Jane, I'm not using a external drive for this purpose but I'm sure that once you tell iTunes that external drive is the library location, everything including podcasts will work just fine.

Re: Notifications, how to stop repeated notifications?
Hi Geoff, Thanks for this, Turns out I could find the setting in messages but not in the other apps I wanted to adjust. It looks like this setting adjustment is not available for many apps. But, it is there for Messages so I now know where to look for it to see if it is available. Eric Caron Jan 27, 2012, at 11:21 AM, Geoff Waaler wrote: Hi Eric, You can set apps to behave differently. In settings--notifications double tap and item under the heading: in notification center such as messages. Near the bottom is a button labeled repeat alert. The possible choices range from never to alerts repeat at two minute intervals. Also, as you probably already know, there is a toggle switch in settings--general--accessibility--voiceOver--speak notifications in locked screen which can suppress automatic announcements.

Hi Listers, I am reading the new Take Control Book about the iPhone 4S and read that you can change the setting for the number of times a notification is repeated. I've noticed for example that If I get a text and my hands are busy the notification keeps repeating. I looked all over the settings area and in notifications but can't seem to locate the area to change this. i would be happy with just 1 reputation. I read the section in the book again but it is not clear to me where to go. Does anyone know how to change this?
