I agree that the usability of Siri has plummeted.

It has failed to make 3 calls in the last 10 minutes alone  even though it
announces that it is calling the number.

 I love ios7 and all its glory.  It's accessible with some quirks and some
pas crash and brake, but I'm sure that will come in time. But as for access
issues others are reporting I'm not ringing them. Yu just need to practice

 We upgraded both our phones from i phone 4's to the 5C, 32 g model.  IOS
7 does run a bit faster on the new phones, but we didn't play around a lot
with the older phones, either.  I am also running the new OS on my i pad 2
and it's a bit sluggish, but this doesn't make it unusable.
 
 I'm not sure what's available in the UK, but here in Canada, you can
definitely buy a 5S in the 64 g model.

 Hello everybody
 
 Firstly, let me just say that I'm not interested in what the fat cats
and the professional analysts say; I'm looking for genuine user opinion
here. I just wondered what you all make of iOS7.02 now that it is public, in
terms of accessibility primarily, and functionality as a secondary topic.
Speaking as somebody with vision, on the outside looking in as you might
say, it seems to me that Apple has maintained its reputation and commitment
as far as iOS is concerned, to accessibility. Although I haven't gave much
of an opportunity to play around with VoiceOver yet, from the visual
perspective iOS7.02 is gorgeous. I love the way that applications can now
interact, and the gestures which were there in iOS6 have been improved upon.
Of course, Apple's errors which only came to light when iOS7 hit the streets
were a little embarrassing for them I would think. But in fairness, they did
move swiftly to address them and now, we would seem to have as secure a
mobiles operating system as we can reasonably expect.
 
 I do have one query though. I remember reading in the release notes that
there are a small number of functions which only apply to the iPhone5,
iPhone5C and iPhone5S. Is there anybody who has upgraded since the release
of iOS7 to an iPhone5, iPhone5C or iPhone5S from an earlier model and has
noticed a significant increase in functionality? If so, what were the
significant differences that you noticed?
 
 I am toying with the idea of upgrading all of our iPhones to the 5S. But
I seem to remember that there is no longer a 64GB model available. Our
iPhones are currently all the 4S 64GB models. They work fine, and if I'm
going to upgrade there's have to be significant reasons. Yes, the dual
cameras would be nice, but not essential.
 
 I very much welcome your input, and I hope that we can maintain a
cordial and productive discussion.
 
 Warm regards

Yeah, the only sure fire way that I can think of to get it to work would be to 
turn off voice over, and even then it won't work half the time. Sometimes it 
will work, but it is hit or miss, I might ask it a few things and it might be 
spot on sometimes, but that's only sometimes.

 Hi Lynn,
 Personally, I like IOS 7.

 some of the gestures took some getting used to, and I still struggle

 a few of them, but that's me and not the OS!

 We upgraded both our phones from i phone 4's to the 5C, 32 g model.
 IOS
 7 does run a bit faster on the new phones, but we didn't play around a
 lot
 with the older phones, either.  I am also running the new OS on my i pad

 and it's a bit sluggish, but this doesn't make it unusable.

 I'm not sure what's available in the UK, but here in Canada, you can
 definitely buy a 5S in the 64 g model.

New Member Welcome

2013-10-04 Thread Gordon, Lynne Tracy
Hello everybody

Please do not reply to this message on list. If you wish to comment, please 
contact the new member or the support personnel directly.

It is traditional when new members join the Mac Access Dot Net email forum that 
Gordon, Tracy and I tried to welcome the new member(s) personally. In keeping 
with that tradition, we are delighted to welcome:
Martin corr
to our number. We are gratified by the fact that Mac Access is growing
globally, and we hope that you will find Mac-Access@mac-access.net a pleasant, 
friendly and worthwhile place to be. We hope also that you will spread the word 
about Mac Access amongst your friends, and look forward to welcoming them.

In here you will find a wealth of knowledge, and people with a variety of skill 
levels ranging from the total novice, to the application developers with 
advanced skills. Then there are those who don't yet own an Apple device, but 
have a keen interest; and those who just  use iOS devices but who are keen 
enthusiasts. We hope you will feel free to post your questions and constructive 
comment, whatever your skill levels may be. Be assured, there will be none of 
the ridiculing and flaming which we know takes place in other groups. That kind 
of behaviour is not tolerated in Mac-Access. Also, please do not try to CC 
messages intended for other groups to Mac Access, or visa versa. Doing so will 
cause your message to bounce, and may result in us having to place you into 
moderation mode which would be tedious for us, and frustrating for you.

The list policy document is always available for review. You can find it here:
http://www.mac-access.net/Mac-Access-Welcome.html.

Anything Mac OS and iOS is on topic for this group. In the case of 
virtualisation applications such as Fusion and Parallels Desktop, the 
configuration of the applications themselves, plus the configuration of the 
virtual machines is on topic. However, the configuration of Windows or any 
other operating systems within that virtual machine is off topic. The exception 
to that is if you're using another instance of OSX within the virtual machine. 
This has always been a bit of a grey area; but we hope this clarifies the 
position. We should also make clear the fact that Apple's Windows applications 
are off topic for this group. This is strictly an iOS and Mac OS discussion 
forum.

If you have any list-related queries, please do not hesitate to contact Tracy, 
Gordon and myself, (the list owners), at supp...@mac-access.net, and we will 
be happy to help you.

Finally, I thought you might like to know that currently we are offering all 
Mac-Access. members the opportunity to purchase the Take Control Of Your Mac 
publications, published by Tidbits.com, at an 80% discount. If you want to know 
more, please contact the above support address. For a listing of the books 
available please visit:
http://www.mac-access.net/Take-Control.html
Get back to us with a list of books or the name of the book that interests you 
and we'll tell you how to proceed. We should make it clear that under the 
current rules, group members must have ben, and agree to remain a member of Mac 
Access for a period of no less than 28 days prior to their first purchase. This 
rule now exists because, sadly, we were getting some members joining to exploit 
the system and then leave.

Once again, a very warm welcome to the group. We hope you find your membership 
an enjoyable, instructive and stimulating experience.

For me and siri I don't use it for calls, ever. I never did as it has always 
failed  there even in ios6. but as for asking it stuff, it works just fantastic 
for me. I can get stuff spot on. Just give it a few more weeks as there are

 Of course, Apple's errors which only came to light when iOS7 hit the streets
 were a little embarrassing for them I would think. But in fairness, they did
 move swiftly to address them and now, we would seem to have as secure a
 mobiles operating system as we can reasonably expect.
 
 I do have one query though. I remember reading in the release notes that
 there are a small number of functions which only apply to the iPhone5,
 iPhone5C and iPhone5S. Is there anybody who has upgraded since the release
 of iOS7 to an iPhone5, iPhone5C or iPhone5S from an earlier model and has
 noticed a significant increase in functionality? If so, what were the
 significant differences

Adding Items to the Rotor On the Trackpad

2013-10-04 Thread Eileen Misrahi
Hello, 

I was wondering if it is possible to add items to the rotor on the trackpad. I 
don't see a rotor option for edit fields and I know when Safari opens that 
there is one. Of course, the VO cursor lands on it, but if one is filling out a 
form or an order form to shop, it would be nice to be able to jump from field 
to field. Any suggestions on where to find it and how to add this option would 
be appreciated

Thanks in advance.

braille connect 40 braille display

2013-10-04 Thread Candie Stiles
I recently paired my braille connect 40 with my macbook. Everything is working 
fine, accept that whatever words that are under the cursor are expanded into 
grade 1 Braille instead of remaining in grade 2. I've looked through the voice 
over utility as well as the manual for the braille connect, and i can't find 
anything that explains how to stop the display from always expanding the 
contents under the cursor. If anyone knows how to do this and can help, that 
would be great because reading those random words in grade 1 braille is 
frustrating.

If you  have single letter navigation turned on in Quick Nav settings you
can jump to the next edit box by simply pressing the letter F  for form

Similarly B for Button, H for header etc.

Getting rid of a screen saver

2013-10-04 Thread Paul Hopewell
Hello, 
I am running the latest level of Mac OS on my now rather old iMac. 

I want to get rid of the BOINC screen saver. Alas VO does not work for the 
screen saver panel of system preferences. The panel is nearly always busy and I 
have not found any way to modify the attributes of any screen saver nor can I 
change the screen saver which is active. 

Is there any way to get round this such as Terminal commands or editing some 
file in the library or using Cocktail? 

A key reason I want to change the screen saver is that I cannot leave 
SuperDuper running unattended as the screen saver kicks in before SuperDuper 
has finished which then causes SuperDuper to fail. 

I would much appreciate any suggestions. 
Many thanks.

Re: Getting rid of a screen saver

In energy set the time the screen saver goes on to higher then its default. I 
don't know of such terminal commands and I can modify mine just fine, but then 
again my machine is only 3 years old, I think. Lol.

Hth sort of.

You can set up quick keys in quick nav to do this, but to add jut go to vo

Hi!
OK open VO+f8 then press Command+8 to take you to commanders, then select the 
quick nav tab and in the options of that tab is a checkbox to switch on single 
key navigation!

 Hi Michael -
 
 I've not use Chrome for that kind of thing. Perhaps like me you may 
 have to use both browsers, determined by how a website functions with 
 each. I guess you could keep Safari as your main one, especially if 
 that's where your book marks are, and just use Chrome when you find 
 things aren't going so well under Safari. Not perfect is it, but I 
 guess we have to keep adapting -

Re: mouse clicking with VO

2013-10-04 Thread Sarah k Alawami
Dunno if that will help the mouse clicking the original poster had, how ever it 
might see if the problem is with the website or voice over itself.

Good luck

 Hi Michael -
 
 I've not use Chrome for that kind of thing. Perhaps like me you may 
 have to use both browsers, determined by how a website functions with 
 each. I guess you could keep Safari as your main one, especially if 
 that's where your book marks are, and just use Chrome when you find 
 things aren't going so well under Safari. Not perfect is it, but I 
 guess we have to keep adapting -

 hey andy,
 thanks for the reply to my question.
 i have played around with crome a tad and am wondering if there is a 
 way to make it a bit more accessible? it's just little things like 
 importing bookmarks and such.
 
 thanks for any help

 Hi Michael -
 
 This may or may not help, but I have encountered this when using 
 Safari, but had better success when using Google Chrome. I use 
 Chrome most of the time as it does seem to work better -

Re: Adding Items to the Rotor On the Trackpad

2013-10-04 Thread Sarah k Alawami
Go to key board, quick nav and check first letter navigation. then just enter 
quick nav when you want to do a quick letter thing and after you get there I 
turn qn off so as not to accidentally jump when I'm editing a field.

 will check it out. Also, how do I turn on first letter  navigation with the
 QuikNav? 
 
 Thanks.

 You can set up quick keys in quick nav to do this, but to add jut go to vo
 utility then to web and in there should be a rotor tab for you to play with.
 You have to check the ones you wan tin the pop up button thing. It's not an
 ordinary thing.

 Hello, 
 
 I was wondering if it is possible to add items to the rotor on the
 trackpad. I don't see a rotor option for edit fields and I know when Safari
 opens that there is one. Of course, the VO cursor lands on it, but if one is
 filling out a form or an order form to shop, it would be nice to be able to
 jump from field to field. Any suggestions on where to find it and how to add
 this option would be appreciated
 
 Thanks in advance. 
 
 Best, 
 Eileen .
