A bug which I had thought was a setting!
Hello List, I had thought that this bug was a setting, but upon absolutely scouring the Voiceover utility and Mavericks' System Preferences, I'm discovering that it's a very cool, but very annoying bug. Before I go any further, I'm using OSX 10.9.3 Mavericks on a Mid 2010 White Polycarbon stock Macbook. When I'm typing text, be it in Text Edit, iWorks Pages, Male, Safari, OSX dialog boxes, etc., with key echo set to words, it speaks the text which I've just typed even though I have not pressed the spacebar or a punctuation mark which would invoke the key echo. There's about a one second to a second and a half delay between the key press and VO speaking, and when I'm typing words, numbers, letters and numbers or whatever. It does not matter where in the OS I am or with which voice I'm using. I deal frequently with foreign languages, and it does it with those voices, in those keyboard layouts and in those languages. it doesn't matter whether it's Alex, Fiona, Ava, Allison, Aleksandros, Melina, Tingting or what. It does it everywhere. If I'm typing the word hello for example, if I pause after typing h, VO will say h. After the e, it'll say he. After both l's, it'll say h ell. After the o, it'll say hello. The same is true for sets of numbers. I type a 5 and pause, and it says 5. Type a 0 thereafter, it'll say 50. I'm not normally a thorough person, and I don't prefer to be such for various quirky reasons. I have literally looked through every tab and option in the Voiceover utility and OSX's System Preferences. The only thing I haven't done is to read the bloomin' VO user's guide. This only happens when the key echo is set to words under VO+v. A friend of mine who is thrice as thorough as I has also scoured the system prefs and VO utility, and he's come up empty too! If there are any Apple developers up here with access to the developers' bug reporter, please submit this as a bug to Apple on my behalf. It's something I've gotten used to and kind a like in a strange way, but it needs to be rectified so that blind and VI businessmen don't get outed when they type financial or other confidential data into their Macs.

Re: Epson scanner
I have and use the Epson V33 and it works great with Fine reader pro or express. I thought they were out of production, but I guess not - either that or yours is a left over. Either way for the price you can’t go wrong.. They’re all called photo scanners these days - it just means you can put a picture on the glass and scan it. It’s kind of like calling computers “digital computers”, its a marketing double speak thing.

Re: tagging somebody on Facebook using Safari on Mac
I think tagging can be done in m.facebook.com or at least when I went through it yesterday it could be done. - Original Message - From: Bryan Jones openses...@me.com To: OS X iOS Accessibility mac-access@mac-access.net Sent: Tuesday, June 17, 2014 3:49 AM Subject: Re: tagging somebody on Facebook using Safari on Mac Hello Laurel Sarah, On my Macs I’m currently able to tag FB Friends from a popup list using the following steps: 1. This assumes the latest versions of MacOS and Safari are installed, QuickNav is turned off, and that javascript is enabled in Safari (Safari / Preferences / Security / Enable Javascript). 2. Go to the main Facebook site www.facebook.com. Note that this will not work on the mobile Facebook site, m.facebook.com. 3. On the main Facebook page, navigate to and activate the button labeled “Update Status.” VO now announces “What’s on your mind” and I can start typing my status update here. 4. When I want to tag someone in the body of the status, I type the “@“ symbol followed by the first few letters of their name, as you mentioned, and then I can use one of the following three methods to select and insert the desired name into the status. Note that all of these methods require Javascript to be enabled in Safari. Method 1: Press the down arrow key with no modifier keys and VO automatically moves into the list of matching names and I can highlight the friend I want to tag and then press VO+Spacebar to insert the name into the status and resume typing. Method 2: if your Mac has a mouse or trackpad and if you are comfortable using it and if you have your VO Verbosity set to speak text under mouse after delay of zero seconds” you might be able to press VO+Command+F5 to bring the mouse pointer to the VO cursor and then move the mouse pointer down through the popup list of names and click once to insert the name. Method 3: Open the Item Chooser menu (VO+I) and type the first few letters you typed in step 4 above. This narrows my item chooser down to the list of names in the popup list and I can then navigate and select the desired name using normal Item Chooser / VO commands. BTW, On my Macs I normally use the FB mobile site, m.facebook.com, but I’m not able to tag friends using the mobile site, which is why I wrote my instructions using the standard FB site. Also, I’ve not yet tried removing the last names from a tag, so I can’t speak to whether or not that works in Safari on the Mac. Lastly, while the folks at FB are undeniably making great strides in terms of site accessibility, I have a sense that they are still prone to making random, unannounced back-end changes that alter the layout and behavior of the site. Thus, YMMV. HTH, and please let us know if this works for you, Bryan On Jun 16, 2014, at 6:49 PM, Laurel and Stockard laurel.stock...@gmail.com wrote: Now, for the bad news.

Re: Epson scanner
Okay. That’s good to know. I plan to scan my snail mail and my Time magazine with it. How well does it work with books and magazines? Also, when you’re scanning, do you use a button on the Mac keyboard, or a button on the scanner itself?

Re: tagging somebody on Facebook using Safari on Mac
Hello Eleanor, Would you mind sharing the steps you follow to successfully tag a friend in the body of a post using the m.facebook.com site? I’ve had no luck making this happen. While the popup list of Friends does present itself, I’ve found no way to reliably select and insert a name from that list. Attempting to arrow through the list just produces the standard keyboard dead-end tone, pointing and clicking the mouse has no effect, and the item chooser does not seem to see the items in this popup list.

This assumes the latest versions of MacOS and Safari are installed, QuickNav is turned off, and that javascript is enabled in Safari (Safari / Preferences / Security / Enable Javascript). 2. Go to the main Facebook site www.facebook.com. Note that this will not work on the mobile Facebook site, m.facebook.com. 3. On the main Facebook page, navigate to and activate the button labeled “Update Status.” VO now announces “What’s on your mind” and I can start typing my status update here. 4. When I want to tag someone in the body of the status, I type the “@“ symbol followed by the first few letters of their name, as you mentioned, and then I can use one of the following three methods to select and insert the desired name into the status. Note that all of these methods require Javascript to be enabled in Safari. Method 1: Press the down arrow key with no modifier keys and VO automatically moves into the list of matching names and I can highlight the friend I want to tag and then press VO+Spacebar to insert the name into the status and resume typing. Method 2: if your Mac has a mouse or trackpad and if you are comfortable using it and if you have your VO Verbosity set to speak text under mouse after delay of zero seconds” you might be able to press VO+Command+F5 to bring the mouse pointer to the VO cursor and then move the mouse pointer down through the popup list of names and click once to insert the name. Method 3: Open the Item Chooser menu (VO+I) and type the first few letters you typed in step 4 above. This narrows my item chooser down to the list of names in the popup list and I can then navigate and select the desired name using normal Item Chooser / VO commands. BTW, On my Macs I normally use the FB mobile site, m.facebook.com, but I’m not able to tag friends using the mobile site, which is why I wrote my instructions using the standard FB site. Also, I’ve not yet tried removing the last names from a tag, so I can’t speak to whether or not that works in Safari on the Mac. Lastly, while the folks at FB are undeniably making great strides in terms of site accessibility, I have a sense that they are still prone to making random, unannounced back-end changes that alter the layout and behavior of the site. Thus, YMMV. HTH, and please let us know if this works for you, Bryan On Jun 16, 2014, at 6:49 PM, Laurel and Stockard laurel.stock...@gmail.com wrote: Now, for the bad news.

creating tags for a Facebook group
Hi all, question. You know how groups have tags that help people find that particular group when they search for certain terms and stuff. How do you create tags for your group with Voiceover? I know that under the edit settings is where you go to create tags, and using FB's normal site, not their mobile one, I find a combo box where you can supposedly type in terms and words to make your tags. When I start typing though nothing seems to be going on. I wish I could use the mobile site to do this, but can't figure out where to go there. I've tried this on my mac, can't find where to do it with my iPhone, suggestions on how to add tags using ether device are welcome.

Re: Epson scanner
It’s not the scanner that determines quality of scan so much as the scanning software. Most all scanners are the same as far as DPI capability. As far as books and other materials, that’s also a function of the scanning software and is not dependent on the scanner. Finereader Pro does a good job of scanning complex documents like multiple columns and so forth. And, I run the scanner completely from within the software interface of FineReader Pro. The scanner is pretty bare bones and has four buttons that I never bother with except for the power on/off button which has a little dimple on it for identification purposes.
