Vo reporting unread messages in mail, that have been read

2014-04-05 Thread Andy Collins
Hi all -

Having read all my email messages, when I do a quick option u, just to be sure, 
VO will announce something like 9 unread messages. When I do a quick up and 
down scan of the status field, there are no unread messages. Doing another 
options u,  VO gives me a different number of unread messages. If I 
arrow up and down again through the table, and then try options u again, 
eventually VO will say no unread messages.

Anybody know what is going on with the inaccurate reporting of unread messages?

Thanks -

Andy

Re: Vienna was Re: Qcast

2014-04-05 Thread Catherine Turner
Hi,

Another question.  I've created a folder and am wondering how to put
certain feeds into it.  I can't figure this out from the menus, help
or FAQs...I'm assuming it's possible.  I created a folder called
TechNews and want to put some of the feeds already in Vienna into that
folder.  Can anyone tell me if/how that's possible?

I tried going into the context menu and going to edit feed but this
just allows me to change the url.  Option clicking on it does the
same...

Perhaps I would need to drag and drop.  Or perhaps I'm
misunderstanding the way folders work in Vienna...  Any thoughts?

Thanks,
Catherine

 Hi Sarah,

 Glad you mentioned Vienna, have downloaded it and it looks just the
 kind of thing I was after.  One question - I was looking in the
 preferences and don't seem to be able to activate any of the buttons
 other than general in the toolbar for the preferences.  Have you
 tried this?  Are you able to get to all of the preferences?

 After purchasing QCast for my Windows machine I noticed that I was
 also
 entitled to install it on my Mac for no extra fee.

 My initial observations of QCast on the Mac side is very positive. It
 is
 designed for use with Voiceover for visually impaired people.

 I was able to import my feed OPML from  my dropbox with no issue and
 all
 my
 normal podcast subscriptions were instantly available in QCast.

 So far I have only played Podcasts on the Mac side but if it follows
 the
 Windows implementation, as it appears to so far, you will be able to
 download podcasts into a  QCast folder in your documents directory. I
 will
 try to check this later.

 QCast offers nothing that is not already available in iTunes but does
 so
 with a massively simpler and easier interface. It is certainly more
 straightforward to play a podcast than in iTunes.

 If your main way of listening to Podcasts is   on an iOS device you
 may
 be
 better off sticking with Downcast  though where you can organise
 everything
 on your device.

 Having said that  QCast will definitely become my standard way of
 playing
 Podcasts on the Mac.

 QCast cost me $10 payable by PayPal and the user key and activation
 details
 came immediately.
 For that I received the right for a standard installation on Windows
 and
 Mac
 side and portable installations on Windows and Mac side.

 It can be run as a demo with a restriction of  only one podcast feed.

 I was happy enough  to also purchase QFeed which is an RSS Reader from
 the
 same programmer. So far I have only installed this on Windows and it
 appears
 to work well. Again for the $10 fee you get rights to also install on
 a
 Mac
 and for portable installations on both Windows and Mac. I will report
 back
 if there is interest on my findings of QFeed on the Mac side.

 Regards

 David Griffith

Web Development

2014-04-05 Thread Gordon Smith
Hi all

Recently, the subject of website development was discussed on Mac Access.  This 
kind of set me thinking and I wondered whether anybody had got any joy out of 
using Sandvox?  This is, I believe, apple’s recommended application now, since 
their own iWeb is no longer available.  Many people talk about using Wordpress, 
and this is something I’m going to investigate while I’m on Easter holidays.  
Although not in the same way as some others, I plan to install it on a local 
server to see how it works.  Once done, I’m planning to install MAMP Pro in 
order to maintain several Wordpress sites on the same server.

Another application which may or may not have been mentioned as part of the 
discussion is MarsEdit.  This application which is available from a small 
developer called Red Sweater, http://www.red-sweater.com/marsedit/ is very 
definitely worth a look and, if you’re able, supporting.  The guy who develops 
the software is very proactive and always keen to assist where he can.

Any thoughts anybody?

Kindest regards

2014-04-05 Thread Chris Apple boy

Hi Gordon and all
I am trying Mars Edit and it is brilliant. It recognized my Wordpress 
account right away once I entered in the required information. I was 
able to post both a blog and a page, make edits to it and so on. I plan 
to buy it probably from the App Store soon rather than the developers 
themselves. So if you're going down this route I say way to go for you.

Re: Web Development

2014-04-05 Thread Gordon Smith
Hi Chris

We have been using MarsEdit for years now, alongside other solutions such as 
Taco HTML Edit.  But I think to get the best out of MarsEdit you do need a 
WordPress account on some server or others.  We’re fortunate in as much as we 
do have the capability and capacity to install our own server and dedicate it 
to this type of thing so I think we will do this and as soon as I get around to 
doing it we will move our blog to our own servers.

But I strongly urge you to buy direct from the developer.  That way you can be 
sure of benefiting from their excellent support.

Kindest regards

Hi,

Another question.  I've created a folder and am wondering how to put
certain feeds into it.  I can't figure this out from the menus, help
or FAQs...I'm assuming it's possible.  I created a folder called
TechNews and want to put some of the feeds already in Vienna into that
folder.  Can anyone tell me if/how that's possible?

I tried going into the context menu and going to edit feed but this
just allows me to change the url.  Option clicking on it does the
same...

Perhaps I would need to drag and drop.  Or perhaps I'm
misunderstanding the way folders work in Vienna...  Any thoughts?

Thanks,
Catherine

 Hi Sarah,
 
 Glad you mentioned Vienna, have downloaded it and it looks just the
 kind of thing I was after.  One question - I was looking in the
 preferences and don't seem to be able to activate any of the buttons
 other than general in the toolbar for the preferences.  Have you
 tried this?  Are you able to get to all of the preferences?

 After purchasing QCast for my Windows machine I noticed that I was
 also
 entitled to install it on my Mac for no extra fee.
 
 My initial observations of QCast on the Mac side is very positive. It
 is
 designed for use with Voiceover for visually impaired people.
 
 I was able to import my feed OPML from  my dropbox with no issue and
 all
 my
 normal podcast subscriptions were instantly available in QCast.
 
 So far I have only played Podcasts on the Mac side but if it follows
 the
 Windows implementation, as it appears to so far, you will be able to
 download podcasts into a  QCast folder in your documents directory. I
 will
 try to check this later.
 
 QCast offers nothing that is not already available in iTunes but does
 so
 with a massively simpler and easier interface. It is certainly more
 straightforward to play a podcast than in iTunes.
 
 If your main way of listening to Podcasts is   on an iOS device you
 may
 be
 better off sticking with Downcast  though where you can organise
 everything
 on your device.
 
 Having said that  QCast will definitely become my standard way of
 playing
 Podcasts on the Mac.
 
 QCast cost me $10 payable by PayPal and the user key and activation
 details
 came immediately.
 For that I received the right for a standard installation on Windows
 and
 Mac
 side and portable installations on Windows and Mac side.
 
 It can be run as a demo with a restriction of  only one podcast feed.
 
 I was happy enough  to also purchase QFeed which is an RSS Reader from
 the
 same programmer. So far I have only installed this on Windows and it
 appears
 to work well. Again for the $10 fee you get rights to also install on
 a
 Mac
 and for portable installations on both Windows and Mac. I will report
 back
 if there is interest on my findings of QFeed on the Mac side.
 
 Regards
 
 David Griffith

 up and down scan of the status field, there are no unread messages. Doing 
 another options u,VO gives me a different number of unread 
 messages. If I arrow up and down again through the table, and then try 
 options u again, eventually VO will say no unread messages.
 
 Anybody know what is going on with the inaccurate reporting of unread

Re: other voices now in 10.9

I’m currently using Daniel for Chromevox and he’s working well. Just out of 
curiosity though, would it be possible for me to obtain some voices I am 
missing? I’m missing UK-English Emily, Sangeeta and Jill. If not that’s okay, 
but I just find it rather strange that these voices are not on my system. I 
even did a search for them in the text field, but no dice. I’m running 10.9.2 
on a mid-2013 Mac Book Air. I know at least some other people have these 
voices, because I listened to an Apple Vis podcast where they were demonstrated 
along with the other ones.

Hi, sarah.  Thanks for the info.  Too bad we don't have shortcuts like ctrl-d

2014-04-05 Thread Matthew Chao

When using Safari on an iPhone with a bluetooth keyboard, is there a keyboard 
shortcut for going to another Web site, e.g., command-l for new site.  Thanks.

wrist troubles os my thumbs are out of the question plus I'm afraid I might

You really don't need ctrl d or any bt keyboard shortcuts to delete messages. 
All you need to do is swipe up and double tap when you hear delete etc. Thi is 
found in the rotor under action most of the time.

Take care.

 another options u,   VO gives me a different number of unread

resources for blind web developers was Re: Web Development

2014-04-05 Thread Laurel and Stockard
Hi Gordon and all,
Currently, I'm using wordpress.org in combination with iPage.com to build a 
website. I'm glad you mentioned some of the other web building platforms out 
there as I might find them helpful in the future. My question sort of branches 
off this topic, hence the subject change.
What resources are out there for blind people who are learning website 
development? Particularly what resources might be out there to help us learn 
things like coding, and how to deal with graphic design and all? I suppose I'm 
asking because I've been looking but just haven't found much out there.
Thanks

 We have been using MarsEdit for years now, alongside other solutions such as

 we do have the capability and capacity to install our own server and 
 dedicate it to this type of thing so I think we will do this and as soon as 
 I get around to doing it we will move our blog to our own servers.
 
 But I strongly urge you to buy direct from the developer.  That way you can 
 be sure of benefiting from their excellent support.

 This kind of set me thinking and I wondered whether anybody had got any joy 
 out of using Sandvox?  This is, I believe, apple’s recommended application 
 now, since their own iWeb is no longer available.  Many people talk about 
 using Wordpress, and this is something I’m going to investigate while I’m 
 on Easter holidays.  Although not in the same way as some others, I plan to 
 install it on a local server to see how it works.  Once done, I’m planning 
 to install MAMP Pro in order to maintain several Wordpress sites on the 
 same server.
 
 Another application which may or may not have been mentioned as part of the 
 discussion is MarsEdit.  This application which is available from a small 
 developer called Red Sweater, http://www.red-sweater.com/marsedit/ is 
 very definitely worth a look and, if you’re able, supporting.  The guy who 
 develops the software is very proactive and always keen to assist where he 
 can.
 
 Any thoughts anybody?
 
 Kindest regards

 Hi Chris
 
 We have been using MarsEdit for years now, alongside other solutions such as 
 Taco HTML Edit.  But I think to get the best out of MarsEdit you do need a 
 WordPress account on some server or others.  We’re fortunate in as much as we 
 do have the capability and capacity to install our own server and dedicate it 
 to this type of thing so I think we will do this and as soon as I get around 
 to doing it we will move our blog to our own servers.
 
 But I strongly urge you to buy direct from the developer.  That way you can 
 be sure of benefiting from their excellent support.

 Hi Gordon and all
 I am trying Mars Edit and it is brilliant. It recognized my Wordpress account

 from the App Store soon rather than the developers themselves. So if you're 
 going down this route I say way to go for you.

I’m currently using Daniel for Chromevox and he’s working well. Just out of

but I just find it rather strange that these voices are not on my system. I 
even did a search for them in the text field, but no dice. I’m running 10.9.2 
on a mid-2013 Mac Book Air. I know at least some other people have these 
voices, because I listened to an Apple Vis podcast where they were demonstrated

2014-04-05 Thread Sarah k Alawami
If you listen to yrou voice over you can  tell when it  says body, or just keep 
hitting enter until you get there. On ios it's I think 3 or 4 presses but if 
you keep hearing new line when you hit enter you are in the body. Just remove 
the new lines and you got it.
