Re: accessible FaceBook.

[Bryan Jones]

Hi Jim -- In my opinion, the answer to your first question will vary depending 
upon which FB features are important to you. I now primarily use the main FB 
site in the latest version of Safari and am able to access most of the features 
that are important to me, such as the News feed and Messages. I can read, 
"like" and comment on posts, search for friends and post status updates with 
photos. However, I find the text entry fields to still be hit-or-miss. For 
example, to comment on a post I will need to bring the mouse and click before I 
can actually start typing. Worse, when replying to a Message, VO will not speak 
anything I am typing in the edit field. I work around this by drafting my 
replies in textedit and pasting them into FB. I can also participate in chat 
sessions initiated by other Friends. I do this by bringing up the item chooser, 
moving to the last item in the list, and then arrowing up through the list 
until I find the active chat session, which is usually just a 
 few items from the bottom.

I do not play FB games so can't speak to their accessibility.

HTH,
Bryan

Re: weather ap for the Mac?

[Travis Siegel]

If anyone is interested, I can put up the weather code I use to  
retrieve my local weather.  Unfortunately, it won't help anyone  
outside the us, since it pulls directly from the noaa website, but it  
does work fairly well, and all you need to change is your longitude/ 
latitude to get it working for your system.  It's meant as a web app,  
so it's written in php, but I have a shell script I use to launch it  
locally, that runs the php code directly instead of via being embeded  
into a web page.  it still loads a web page that is created on the  
fly for your viewing pleasure, with a 7-day forcast, and everything  
is labeled and completely vo accessible.  I'll toss it up on the  
softcon mac pages for folks to grab if there is any interest.  It's  
not really meant for public consumption, but with that disclaimer  
stated, I'm willing to post it anyway if there's interest.
I'd initially written it for myself, then spruced it up, tried to  
submit it to one of those online sites that have code snippets for  
sale, but they said they couldn't accept it, because their weather  
category was already saturated.  This was odd, because the only  
weather code snippets they had were for using google, not  
accuweather, not yahoo, and certainly none for noaa weather, which  
considering all american weather sources take their weather directly  
from noaa weather puzzled me.  Kind of like telling microsoft you  
can't accept them as a reseller, because you already have too many  
folks selling ms products, but such is life.
Anyway, I'll make it available if anyone asks, but otherwise, I'll  
keep it here and use it as I always do. :)
Also, in case folks need it, I modified the weather widget that comes  
with dashboard quite some time ago so that it presents the  
information in a better format, more suitable to vo users, and that  
is already posted on the softcon pages, folks are welcome to download  
that and use it on their machines.

Both of the Mobile and the main website seem to work well okay with voice over

Re: weather ap for the Mac?

[Geoff Waaler]

Hi Cathy,

I'm sure there are options in the Mac app store, but the dashboard weather 
widget is already part of MountainLion and at least a couple earlier 
releases of MacOSX that I know of (IE SnowLeopard).


Anyway, you can open the dashboard either via the icon in the dock, or by 
pressing F4.  You can then navigate the included Dashboard widgets (IE 
weather, package tracker, etc) by pressing control-option-f2 twice, and 
enter to open the desired item.


HTH.
Geoff

Subject: weather ap for the Mac?



Hello,

Is there an ap for weather that comes with the Mac or does anyone know if
there is an accessible ap for download?

My Mac mini says the word "weather" occasionally which intrigues me, but I
can't find it.



Thanks,



Cathy
