I'm a very intensive terminal user and that isn't going to change, so if anyone knows a good solution to the above, suggestions would be welcome.

RE: PDf's
I will not answer your full question but just to point out that on all platforms, including Windows, the ability to navigate by heading etc. in PDF documents depends on whether the PDF file has been tagged properly to allow these accessibility features. In my experience only a small percentage of PDF files have this tagging information included. If the heading or table tags are not included no screenreader will be able to find them.

Installing Mac OS X from USB flash drive
This guide I have written myself so hope you like it. It is below. Installing Mac OS X from a USB flash drive This guide will show you how to create a bootable USB flash drive to install Mac OS X. Here are the prerequisites. A USB flash drive that's at least 8 GB in size. The installer and other files take up at least this space. A program called DiskMakerX previously known as Lion Disk Maker available from http://liondiskmaker.com/ The latest version of a supported operating system (Lion, Mountain Lion or Mavericks) available from the Mac App Store. Instructions 1. Download the above two apps listed in the prerequisites. Important! After downloading the latest supported operating system from the Mac App Store the installer opens automatically. Do not proceed since the file will be erased upon the reboot. Instead, press command-q at the first screen of the installer where the continue button has the keyboard focus. 2. Open the DiskMakerX disk image in the finder. It should then appear in the image browser. You can accomplish this by highlighting the dmg file with just arrow keys and press command-o for open. 3. For reasons of better accessibility I then switch to list view with command-2. Copy the only .app file in there and paste into your applications folder. This is accomplished with command-c for copy, command-shift-a to open the Applications folder and command-v to paste. Once copied close all Finder windows with command-w so you're at the desktop and eject the disk image by first highlighting it with just arrow keys and press command-e for eject. 5. Connect the USB flash drive to your mac before beginning the next step. 6. Open the DiskMakerX which should now be located in your applications folder. 7. When prompted that Safari has downloaded this application from the web vo-arrow to the open button and press vo-space to activate. With QuickNav enabled with left-right arrows together you can simply navigate to the open button with left or right arrow keys then press up-down arrows together to activate. Note By VO throughout this guide I am talking about the VoiceOver keys which are control-option. 8. Follow the instructions on the screen. For example when choosing the operating system click either Lion, Mountain Lion or Mavericks button. 9. When it comes to the USB flash drive part choose to have it create as an 8 GB flash drive. You will be warned that all data will be erased so make sure your flash drive is backed up somewhere. Note If you have previously made a bootable USB flash drive you can update the volume here by clicking the appropriate button. Tip Since the application uses appropriate options as default buttons in most cases, pressing return will be enough to move on to the next screen. 10. The preparation and copying will eventually begin. Do not worry about any busy busy busy messages or that the app has no windows. It is just doing its work behind the scenes. Please enter any credentials when prompted. VoiceOver makes a clicking type sound when in password text fields. 11. When all finished, you are invited to either open Start-up Disk preferences so you can quickly change to the newly created or updated bootable USB flash drive and test your creations. You are also invited to make a donation to the developers which is in fact the default button so pressing return will open your browser allowing you to make such a donation. Finally there is a quit button which does what it says; quit the application. Let's then click the open Start-up Disk Preferences button. 12. Interact with the possible start-up disks scroll area, choose your bootable USB Flash Drive by selecting the appropriate radio buttons, stop interacting with the scroll area and click restart button. To interact and stop interact with VoiceOver do one of the following: A. Press vo-shift-down arrow to interact; vo-shift-up arrow to stop interacting. B. Press down-right arrows to interact; down-left arrows to stop interacting. This is assuming QuickNav is enabled with left-right arrows. 13. Click restart button again to confirm you want to restart the computer. 14. Your USB flash drive should now boot up and eventually display the Mac OS X Utilities with the applications table having keyboard focus. How long it takes depends on your USB flash drive. On my Verbatim 64 GB USB flash drive it takes about thirty seconds. 15. To enable the whole operation to talk and output to Braille if you have such facilities requires starting VoiceOver. To do this press command-F5. You may hear a different voice than what you're used to. This is because in effect a temporary copy of VoiceOver used for installation and other purposes is running and so the voice is set to Fred which runs on even older hardware. If using Braille only USB refreshable Braille displays will be supported at this time. 16. To manage your disks including partitioning, select Disk Utility and click continue
Re: Crome
Sean, Control-option is the VoiceOver modifier key. Control-command is the chromeVox modifier key. I know you knew that, but I thought that the information should be corrected for the benefit of others. On Jun 22, 2014, at 7:47 PM, Sean Murphy smur7...@bigpond.net.au wrote: Margaret, Chrome uses control option key to activate command options. If you press cmd quickly twice toggles between on/off sticky mode. This is the method in which I use it. Below are some commands to know: ctrl opt = - toggles between group, object, line, and word. This is the way in which you control the amount of information you hear at once. I normally use object and line. ctrl opt up/down arrows moves you through the page at the level of information you want to hear. ctrl opt left and right arrow moves at the next lower level of information. For example, if you are using Line. Then left/right arrow will move by word. ctrl opt . “period” brings up the list of available options with their parameters. enter - activates a link or object. There is no form modes or the need to interact with the editable web elements. Make sure you do not have the sticky mode enable when entering in data. You have to turn on table mode to navigate them by row, cel, column, etc. There are other options, but this will get you started.

Re: accessing PDF forms on the mac using VO.
Hello Stuart, I would strongly urge you to download and try the latest version of PDFpen from the www.smilesoftware.com website. The trial version has a few limitations but nothing that will prevent testing a PDF file to see if you can access the form fields. I’ve been testing the latest version, 6.3, and have found that I can navigate through, interact with, and fill form fields in PDF files using standard tab and VO navigation techniques. Note that I have been testing with PDF files that I know were created using the PDF accessibility guidelines, and YMMV if you are attempting to work with non-compliant PDF files. Also note that I’ve only been focussing on testing the specific VO improvements mentioned by the Developer in the current release notes, including labeling of buttons and access to form fields. I don’t think PDFpen yet provides full access to headings, tables, etc. In my opinion version 6.3 of the PDFpen application provides a glimmer of hope that true access to accessible PDF files may someday become a reality on the Mac.

Installing Mac OS X from a USB flash drive This guide will show you how to create a bootable USB flash drive to install Mac OS X. Here are the prerequisites. A USB flash drive that's at least 8 GB in size. The installer and other files take up at least this space. A program called DiskMakerX previously known as Lion Disk Maker available from http://liondiskmaker.com/ The latest version of a supported operating system (Lion, Mountain Lion or Mavericks) available from the Mac App Store. Instructions 1. Download the above two apps listed in the prerequisites. Important! After downloading the latest supported operating system from the Mac App Store the installer opens automatically. Do not proceed since the file will be erased upon the reboot. Instead, press command-q at the first screen of the installer where the continue button has the keyboard focus. 2. Open the DiskMakerX disk image in the finder. It should then appear in the image browser. You can accomplish this by highlighting the dmg file with just arrow keys and press command-o for open. 3. For reasons of better accessibility I then switch to list view with command-2. Copy the only .app file in there and paste into your applications folder. This is accomplished with command-c for copy, command-shift-a to open the Applications folder and command-v to paste. Once copied close all Finder windows with command-w so you're at the desktop and eject the disk image by first highlighting it with just arrow keys and press command-e for eject. 5. Connect the USB flash drive to your mac before beginning the next step. 6. Open the DiskMakerX which should now be located in your applications folder. 7. When prompted that Safari has downloaded this application from the web vo-arrow to the open button and press vo-space to activate. With QuickNav enabled with left-right arrows together you can simply navigate to the open button with left or right arrow keys then press up-down arrows together to activate. Note By VO throughout this guide I am talking about the VoiceOver keys which are control-option. 8. Follow the instructions on the screen. For example when choosing the operating system click either Lion, Mountain Lion or Mavericks button. 9. When it comes to the USB flash drive part choose to have it create as an 8 GB flash drive. You will be warned that all data will be erased so make sure your flash drive is backed up somewhere. Note If you have previously made a bootable USB flash drive you can update the volume here by clicking the appropriate button. Tip Since the application uses appropriate options as default buttons in most cases, pressing return will be enough to move on to the next screen. 10. The preparation and copying will eventually begin. Do not worry about any busy busy busy messages or that the app has no windows. It is just doing its work behind the scenes. Please enter any credentials when prompted. VoiceOver makes a clicking type sound when in password text fields. 11.

Re: PDf's
Hello Adi, Access to PDF files is an important part of my day-to-day life and I’ve tested a dozen or more PDF reading Mac apps over the past few years but have found no single app that provides anything resembling true access to properly tagged PDF files on the Mac. I assumed all PDF files must just be inherently inaccessible because my only point of reference was the limited access provided by the PDF tools available to Mac VO Users. It was only recently that I discovered how wonderfully accessible a properly created PDF file can be when read on Windows. While Preview and Skim provide basic access to PDF files on the Mac, AFAIK there is no tool on the Mac that even comes close to properly handling accessible PDF files in the way that the free Adobe Reader does on Windows. Speaking of Adobe Reader, the Mac version is essentially useless in terms of VO access. On a hopeful note, the latest version of the paid PDFpen application shows promise as the Developer specifically focussed on VO usage including making form fields accessible. I don’t think PDFpen yet provides accessible navigation by headings, etc, but it might be worth testing if PDF files are important to you.

Re: Accessing the OS X terminal with VoiceOver on a laptop
Team, I think we should compile the short comings of the terminal app and send them to Apple Accessibility. They might or might not know the short comings. Do you know how the screen app manages the cursor and if there is any settings to improve this? Since Vo only speaks the last half of the prompt when you are accessing a different device.

Re: Server Transition: IMPORTANT: PLEASE READ!
But I am on the list. Just please don't take me off? Sent from my iPhone On Jun 22, 2014, at 4:35 PM, Eileen Misrahi eileen.misr...@gmail.com wrote: Sorry for confusing your name with someone else's. Please accept my apology. Eileen On Jun 22, 2014, at 5:30 AM, Gordon, Lynne Tracy supp...@mac-access.net wrote: Hello everybody As some of you may be aware, we have been planning for some time to migrate the Mac Access server to a new physical server system and also to a new DNS host. This involves a very great deal of work on our part and I’d like to tell you a little bit about why that is the case. For some time now, we have been experiencing a problem with the server administration tools we used to use to help us administrate both the member listing for all of our groups, and also other vital server configurational data. The net result of these problems is that the member listing is not visible to us at all, neither is any of the other server data, or the list data itself. Therefore, the only access we have to the list configuration is that which every user has to their own specific configuration. Without going into too much technical detail, Gordon keeps having to manually rebuild the Open Directory database because there’s a problem somewhere in the system and it keeps causing corruption. The GUI-based administration tools are useless so Gordon needs to use the Terminal and command line tools to keep this airplane flying! Indeed, Apple’s own engineering staff have been unable to determine the cause of the problem and their ultimate advice was to simply trash the server instance totally and rebuild it from the ground up with a new OS install. That is fine in principle, but we are keen to retain as much information as possible in order to minimise inconvenience to our clients and group members. Please know that even those of you who are not our direct clients are important to us. Although our first duty is to those for whom we host services, we regard all of our members as part of what we do. Anyway I am babbling. e h This means that, in order to obtain the address of each user, along with any specific configuration settings they may have set, we have to effectivelyΩzsw log in as though we were that user via the web interface at http://mail.tft-bbs.co.uk/mailman/listinfo/mac-access/options/your-address@your-host.whatever/. Aside from this, we’re going to have to manually replicate all of the generic list data onthe new server for every single one of the groups hosted here. This, believe me, is no easy task; as some of the groups used by our commercial clients use very highly configured virtual hosts. One of our most valued non-commercial clients has multilingual options configured which we are also very keen to replicate. We shall be in touch with that client directly shortly to discuss the way forward for them. Gordon has spent most of this weekend working behind the scenes in the room from which we run all of our servers; (I’ve almost forgotten what he looks like! ;-)); on the new system, and even as I write he estimates that several more days will elapse before we’re ready to even test the new system locally, let alone expose it to the Internet. Why am I telling you all this? It’s really quite simple. We require, and would very much appreciate, your assistance. It would make our lives far easier if you as list members would take a moment to drop us a line privately, using the support address supp...@mac-access.net to let us know whether or not you anticipate or intend to remain a member of this group in the medium to long term, or even whether you wish us to add you to the new system at all. As well as this, we would be grateful if you would please let us have details of any specific settings you have configured on our server. For instance, if you are using digest mode to receive messages in bulk, whether you have a system password configured which overrides the default, etc.. Of course, when the new instance goes live, you will be able to modify your own configuration once you’ve been subscribed. We are simply trying to save you the work and minimise your inconvenience. :) We have not far short of 500 members in this group alone now, and it would be a horrendously laborious task for Gordon to use the web interface to inspect every single user’s individual configuration; especially since the majority of users have never changed any settings. You may say “why not just use the defaults then?” That in theory may save time. But we are anxious to have the transition be as seamless as possible for everybody and, therefore, we’d like to have this data available in a database which I shall be compiling for Gordon as and when we receive each member’s response. We plan to maintain this database in the longer term, so that we do have a permanent record of

Re: Abby Fine Reader
Hello Ian, I’m not sure what hardware ABBYY recommends, but I've been using a Canon PIXMA MX922 MFP and have had no issues using it in conjunction with ABBYY FineReader Pro. I connect my Mac and other computing devices via Wi-Fi and am able to scan from the flatbed and the ADF. The ADF’s duplex function also works fine. On the downside, this model Canon does not provide a very accessible hardware interface and will likely require sighted assistance during initial setup.
