Re: when using siri

[Zachary Kline]

Siri's volume is adjusted separately from regular voiceover volume. Two 
adjusted, use the volume control once you've activated Siri, presumably when it 
is actually speaking so you can get a measure of how loud it is.
Hope this helps,
Zack.

[Ian McNamara]

Yep I am noticing that as well, it's annoying really as when your out and about 
and walking with a guide dog it's easier to quickly use siri than fleksy or 
type on the Keyboard.

Re: Accessible Version Of Take Control Catalogue

[Phil Halton]

No offense intended, I just remember some list chatter about having trouble 
with the accessibility of the TC books. This is why I asked.

You have a very misguided or missinformed impression of what we have to 
offer. If you look at the catalogue you will understand that you do not 
download the books or buy them from the TC website, you buy them them from 
us.  You also get an 80 percent discount, and you download them from outr 
accessible bookshelf.  So, I am sorry, but just ask anybody who uses our 
service whether they find them inaccessible.  If they do I would like to 
know about it.

Hello everybody

I am pleased to be able to repot that I am now at an advanced stage of 
producing an accessible and complete catalogue of the Take Control 
publications. This catalogue has been tested by an external and 
independent VoiceOver user whose judgement we know to be sound. The 
document has been passed as totally accessible and very easy to navigate 
with any screen-reader, especially VoiceOver. The only thing I elected 
not to do, at least in the first version of this catalogue, is to provide 
you with links to the books on the TC website. This is just a catalogue 
outlining the book title, release date, number of pages, price 
pre-discount and price post-discount. I hope that will suffice for the 
time being. I have put a great deal of work into this so I really hope 
some people do find it helpful.

New Apple Wireless Keyboard

[Chris]

I received this today after only ordering it yesterday. I got it 
directly from Apple.
It was very easy to set up. Just press the one and only large round 
button on the top right hand side to put it in pairing or discovery 
mode. Then on my iPhone 4 I went to settings, bluetooth, bluetooth to 
turn it on. While in there the keyboard was detected and was marked not 
paired. I thus double tapped on the keyboard and it started to connect. 
I was then asked to type the pairing code onto my keyboard then press 
the return key. The pairing then completed and was successful.
It is extremely responsive and comfortable to type on. The keys are 
raised and large enough for me. Basically if you have a standard mac or 
PC keyboard, then you should be right at home. Only with this keyboard 
your control key is the second key in from the bottom left, along with, 
in this order, option and command, which replaces alt and windows 
respectively. This is exactly the same on a Macbook/Macbook Pro/Macbook 
Air keyboard.
I was able to update my status on Facebook and Twitter directly from the 
keyboard, as well as navigate my iPhone 4. I was even able to remove 
apps from the app switcher directly from the keyboard. I can also 
control media playback if I wish.
Now my advice is if you are going to be away from it for some time, 
press and hold the one and only large round button on the top right hand 
side for about 4 seconds. This will completely switch off the keyboard. 
Now providing bluetooth is still on, the next time you press the above 
button, they will be automatically paired. Not sure what would happen if 
I turn the keyboard off and then turn bluetooth off.
Hope this is a good review of the amazing Apple Wireless Keyboard. It 
was certainly worth the £60.

I'm just curious, do we recieve the book as a PDF document or some other

Re: Dictation on iPhone / iPad

[Esther]

Hi Paul,

To add to what Josh said, the dictation feature was added for the iPhone 4S, 
and appears on devices that were released since then, such as the third 
generation iPad and the recent releases of the iPhone 5, fifth generation iPod 
Touch, and new iPads (mini and fourth generation). It shows up in the form of a 
"Dictate" button just to the left of the space bar for languages that are 
supported. (For example, if I switch to a Russian input language keyboard 
there's no "Dictate" key present, and the space bar extends over that location, 
while it's there for French.) You use the key on the virtual keyboard to start 
and stop dictation instead of using a keyboard shortcut, but the kinds of 
dictation commands you use are similar.  You have to speak punctuation, such as 
"open quote" or "quote", followed by the phrase, and then "close quote", 
similarly for parentheses, capitalizing letters, periods, and commas. And, of 
course, there are several possible variant phrases, such as "full stop
 " instead of "period".

HTH. Cheers,

Esther

Coda 2, Taco HTML edit and accessibility

[Dónal Fitzpatrick]

Afternoon all,

The subject says it all really.  I'm interested in procuring an HTML editor for 
mac.  I've downloaded the Coda 2 editor, and I've heard good things about Taco. 
 However, my problem with Taco is that the default "new" file is HTML not XHTML 
and I can't find a way to change it.

So has anyone had success with either Coda 2, Taco HTML editor or, indeed, 
anything else of a similar kind?

Cheers,

RE: The inaccessibility of the iOS 6 appstore on iPad again.

[Debbie April Yuille]

There is a picker just above the five tabs at the bottom of the screen.
Swipe up to go through the results. This is where iPhone users are lucky as
this picker works. Unfortunately there is no such picker on the iPad.

I don't know if it is just me, but with my iPhone 4 and IOS 6, I have such a

problem, I search for something, and it only shows one result, and I don't 
know how to get the rest of the results.

Hi All

I've tried out the search function on the iPad's app store running iOS 6
again and still it is not accessible with Voiceover. I've had a sighted
person look at the screen and the way to navigate through the search results
on the iPad remains the same as in iOS 5, meaning that all results are
displayed on the same page, rather than each App on its own page like with
the iPhone and iPod Touch under iOS 6. The apps appear as images that the
sighted people can see, yet when I drag my finger over them, voiceover gives
no indication that they're there at all. Are there any iPad users out there
experiencing the same issue as me? If so can you tell me of a work around
for this problem.

Thanks
Debbie

That's it exactly. I'll keep that email address you gave me and maybe send
them an email.

Sounds like we're having the same issue. On my iPad 2 running IOS 6, a
search for the word "chess" in the US iPad App Store App returned 952
results. The results are presented as a grid of 4 apps on a page, but only
the first result on the first page seems to be readable by VO. That result
is located near the top left corner of the screen. I tried various swipe and
other navigation gestures in an attempt to hear any of the other results on
the first and subsequent pages, but haven't been able to hear anything other
than that first result.

Unless I'm missing something, I guess it's time to email
accessibil...@apple.com again.

Navigating through iPhone App Store search results [Was: Re: The inaccessibility of the iOS 6 appstore on iPad again.]

[Bryan Jones]

[Subject line changed to reflect topic change]
Try the following:
1. After performing your search, do a one-finger swipe right until you pass the 
screenshots for the current App.
2. You should land on an item that announces the name of the current App and 
it's place in the list of results. For example, if you searched for the word 
"chess" you might hear, "Chess Free; One of One Thousand Three Hunderd results."
3. While sitting on this field, you can perform a one-finger swipe up or down 
to move through the list of results.

Accessible Version Of Take Control Catalogue

[Mrs. Lynnette Annabel Smith]

Hello everybody

I am pleased to be able to repot that I am now at an advanced stage of 
producing an accessible and complete catalogue of the Take Control 
publications. This catalogue has been tested by an external and independent 
VoiceOver user whose judgement we know to be sound. The document has been 
passed as totally accessible and very easy to navigate with any screen-reader, 
especially VoiceOver. The only thing I elected not to do, at least in the first 
version of this catalogue, is to provide you with links to the books on the TC 
website. This is just a catalogue outlining the book title, release date, 
number of pages, price pre-discount and price post-discount. I hope that will 
suffice for the time being. I have put a great deal of work into this so I 
really hope some people do find it helpful.

Lynne
