Re: Playing MP3 and other audio in Safari.
Yeah there's a way to just download, press option enter on the link of the file that you want to download and it will just download and not play. If you want to confirm that it is downloading, You may go to your home folder with command shift H and tab to Downloads and press command o. If the file says the name and then .download, It is still downloading, but if it says the actual extension, you're good. You can also interact with the group of each individual file, as each download Has its own group, by going to the downloads window in Safari, I don't remember the command offhand, I think it is command option l, And interacting with the group. This will only work for large files, but when you do this, a progress bar will be displayed indicating the percent that the file is downloading at. As for the timeline thing, I think it's another bug with voiceover.

RE: Help selecting text on websites
I was on my Mac this afternoon and I had no problem with Safari announcing text that I had selected no matter what method I used including lines and words selected from the Web rota. There appears to be a problem then with some Voiceover settings where it is not announcing all selected text. This appears however to be an issue not confined to you as others on this list appear also to have encountered this problem. Very peculiar as I cannot reproduce this difficulty at all. I am using voiceover with medium verbosity. As far as I am aware I have not altered anything else in verbosity.

The reason you did not have to use option is probably I think because you have quick nav turned on. This is fine but it limits the flexibility of the text you select to words. I sometimes want to select characters using the arrow keys, and more importantly as I am hearing impaired carefully and slowly review the text. Quick nav is great but I think you would get even more single hand functionality with numpad commander which I use all the time. You need a keyboard with a numpad keypad for this though. I think it is possible to transform a laptop keyboard to emulate a numpad keyboard but I think you are probably better off sticking to Quick nav on laptops. Re sticky keys announcement have you tried adjusting Voiceover verbosity? I have found Voiceover far less annoying with its announcements since I reduced verbosity from high to medium. As far as I can see Voiceover still announces everything critical but stops making annoying and unnecessary announcements like new line doing say all read out and so on. It might be worth a try if you have not adjusted this setting.

I added lines to the rotor. When I tried Shift down this selected the line but VO didn't announce anything so I'm not keen on that method. I tried the interact with text, press VO Enter thing and this worked fine but I found I could select stuff with just the arrow keys and don't have to press Option and Command with it. I'd really like to use theVO Shift C thing because I think that would be the most efficient way but I have a problem with that at the moment. Because I'm using Sticky Keys, whenever I press VO Shift C the last phrase VO said is sticky key x off. I wonder if I can stop VO announcing the status of the sticky keys? Their status is indicated by sounds which I'm used to so would like to stop VO announcing them if possible but I don't know if this is possible? Any ideas?

You will find this under Web and Web rota. Just check the lines element in the table of elements to include in the rota. This will add the capacity to select lines of text in Safari. As far as I recall this is announced correctly by Voiceover but I am on my windows laptop at the moment so will have to check later. An alternative method of selecting words is slightly more convoluted but definitely works and is read appropriately. 1,. Interact with Text. 2. Press VO enter. 3. Then select the words with shift option and cursor keys. 4. Press VO enter again to end selection. Press Command C to copy. 5. Uninteract with Text to return to normal web page reading. Also remember the standby VO Shit C to copy the last phrase spoken to the clipboard. This is a rapid and efficient way of copying a paragraph of text or other page element.

Re: using google chrome
Chrome will work with voiceover pretty well.

I am using voiceover with medium verbosity. As far as I am aware I have not altered anything else in verbosity.

The reason you did not have to use option is probably I think because you have quick nav turned on. This is fine but it limits the flexibility of the text you select to words. I sometimes want to select characters using the arrow keys, and more importantly as I am hearing impaired carefully and slowly review the text. Quick nav is great but I think you would get even more single hand functionality with numpad commander which I use all the time. You need a keyboard with a numpad keypad for this though. I think it is possible to transform a laptop keyboard to emulate a numpad keyboard but I think you are probably better off sticking to Quick nav on laptops. Re sticky keys announcement have you tried adjusting Voiceover verbosity? I have found Voiceover far less annoying with its announcements since I reduced verbosity from high to medium. As far as I can see Voiceover still announces everything critical but stops making annoying and unnecessary announcements like new line doing say all read out and so on. It might be worth a try if you have not adjusted this setting.

I added lines to the rotor. When I tried Shift down this selected the line but VO didn't announce anything so I'm not keen on that method. I tried the interact with text, press VO Enter thing and this worked fine but I found I could select stuff with just the arrow keys and don't have to press Option and Command with it. I'd really like to use theVO Shift C thing because I think that would be the most efficient way but I have a problem with that at the moment. Because I'm using Sticky Keys, whenever I press VO Shift C the last phrase VO said is sticky key x off. I wonder if I can stop VO announcing the status of the sticky keys? Their status is indicated by sounds which I'm used to so would like to stop VO announcing them if possible but I don't know if this is possible? Any ideas? THanks, Catherine On 4/30/13, David Griffith d.griff...@btinternet.com wrote: Firstly I would, as suggested on this list a couple of weeks ago, amend your Voiceover settings in Voiceover Utility to include lines under your web rota. You will find this under Web and Web rota. Just check the lines element in the table of elements to include in the rota. This will add the capacity to select lines of text in Safari. As far as I recall this is announced correctly by Voiceover but I am on my windows laptop at the moment so will have to check later. An alternative method of selecting words is slightly more convoluted but definitely works and is read appropriately. 1,. Interact with Text. 2. Press VO enter. 3. Then select the words with shift option and cursor keys. 4. Press VO enter again to end selection. Press Command C to copy. 5. Uninteract with Text to return to normal web page reading. Also remember the standby VO Shit C to copy the last phrase spoken to the clipboard. This is a rapid and efficient way of copying a paragraph of text or other page element.

If the file says the name and then .download, It is still downloading, but if it says the actual extension, you're good. You can also interact with the group of each individual file, as each download Has its own group, by going to the downloads window in Safari, I don't remember the command offhand, I think it is command option l, And interacting with the group.

Kindle now accessible on iOS.
Kindle has announced that it has made the iOS app accessible to voiceover. I have just tried the app and I think there may be limited cause for celebration. It is certainly possible to now download a kindle book and have Voiceover start reading the text of the book with a 2 finger upwards swipe. In this sense it resembles ibooks. The fact that Voiceover can read the Kindle text now is certainly a major advance. In one sense the app appears clunky though. I could find no easy way of exiting the book reading window within the App. A work around appears to press the Home Key and then re enter the Kindle App from the Home Screen. On re-entering the app you appear to be put into a window which allows bookmarking and navigation of the Book you are reading by percentage. There is also a button to return to reading the book and a Home button to return to your library where you can download your books. It would be far easier if there was a button accessible to Voiceover which could return you to this screen without having to exit to the iOS Home Screen. b It will need a little more experimentation but limited celebration seems merited. If anybody else finds a way around the awkward moving from the reading pane to the app Home screen and book controls please post.

Kindle now accessible on iOS.
As an update on my last post I did not hear the prompt for double tap for menu. It is not then necessary to go to the Home screen to get to controls. You simply double tap anywhere on the reading pane to bring up the menu. I now think that the app is very good. The even better news is that I loaded Bad Science - book in which speech has not been enabled on the physical Kindle and it read fine under voiceover. It appears therefore that there is universal access to Text to Speech under the Kindle iOS app. David Griffith -Original Message- From: David Griffith [mailto:d.griff...@btinternet.com] Sent: 01 May 2013 16:04 To: 'Mac OSX iOS Accessibility' Subject: Kindle now accessible on iOS.

Re: disappointed kindle
The kindle app works really well on my iPhone. two finger flick down when you're in a book reads continuously and flawlessly from one page to the next. Haven't checked personally, but I understand from somebody else that it also works well with braille displays. It is certainly late in coming. But thanks, Amazon, for finally doing the right thing.

Re: Kindle now accessible on iOS.
No, you can't access the kindle store from the app. Apple does not allow that.

Re: Kindle now accessible on iOS.
No, but that's Apple's fault. No one except Apple's own iBooks is allowed to let you acess their store from within their app You have to go to the Amazon web site and by the book, then tell the Kindle app to sync the book. Like I say, don't blame Amazon for this, blame Apple and get them to change their policy. :) Jane On May 1, 2013, at 11:29 AM, Will will.d.lo...@gmail.com wrote: Can I access the store to buy books from within the application instructions tell me to flick down not up to comments reading Sent from my iPhone On 1 May 2013, at 04:03 PM, David Griffith d.griff...@btinternet.com wrote: Kindle has announced that it has made the iOS app accessible to voiceover.

Re: Kindle now accessible on iOS.
That's one flaw, yes. There's no tutorial with accessibility features for the app. There's a guide out there, and I am trying to get it to download. I just have to remember how to buy it. It's free, at least. Jane On May 1, 2013, at 11:27 AM, David Griffith d.griff...@btinternet.com wrote: As an update on my last post I did not hear the prompt for double tap for menu.

Re: disappointed kindle
It always says menu off--which doesn't take long at all. Then the two-finger swipe-down works perfectly for me. To get out of a book and into another one, you double-tap with one finger. VoiceOver will say Menu On, and then you flick left or right and double-tap on what you want.

Re: Kindle now accessible on iOS.
Did you try the dictionary? I had a little bit of difficulty selecting the word with a double tap and hold, because the focus seemed to select an adjacent word. But you can hear leftmost selection edge, adjustable and rightmost selection edge, adjustable. If you set your rotor to words, you can move these to the word that you want. I had to wait for the dictionary to download the first time I used this, but the definitions show up at the bottom of the screen for the selected word.

Re: Kindle now accessible on iOS.
You can buy kindle books using the amazon mobile app. Or you can use the amazon site from Safari or whatever browser you use on your Mac or pc. I prefer the main site, because I like to see more reviews at once, and I don't find the main site problematic after years and years of using it.

Hello all great news about the Kindle iOS app but is there a free book out there I can try? Don't want to buy a Kindle book to start with plus I am not an avid reader anyway. Cheers!

This is great! As soon as I logged in, I saw all the books we've bought in Kindle format. By the way, Bad Science has been available from Kobo for some time so I've already been able to read it.

Re: Kindle now accessible on iOS.
Most likely, at least for purchasing the books, you will have to go to the site. Apple's policy is, if you want to sell something within your application, you have to go through our system so we get our 30 percent of the purchase. If you decide you don't want to do that, you cannot provide a way to direct users to another place to make in app purchases within the app itself.

Re: Kindle now accessible on iOS.
You have to go to the Amazon site, but it's easy to search for books It's also easy to just want to buy them. Not so good when you are on a tight budget. I firmly make myself add paid books to my wishlist for eventual buying--like The Hunger Games trilogy which is $18 and some change.

The other point that stops in app linking to products is that apple take their 30% but you have to sell at the same price through the app. Apple greed punishes the user yet again. Danny.

RE: Selecting text on a web page in safari
There has been a lot of discussion on this over the last few weeks. You may want to check the archive. Basically there are various methods including 1. Shift VO C will copy the last phrase spoken to clipboard. This is often the easiest way. 2 If you Add lines to your web rota in Voiceover Utility under Web and web rota, then You can , using quick nav with the rota turned to lines just press shift and down arrow to select lines of text ready for copying and pasting. 3. You can do something similar with words selected in your web rota. 4. Another method involves interacting with text - press Vo enter and start selecting the text you want to copy. Press VO enter at end to mark the end of selected text press command c to copy , and then un-interact to return to normal web browsing. 5. Press command A and command c to copy all the content of the web page to Text edit where you can edit the page with normal commands. Hopefully one of these techniques will achieve what you want.
