[Mac-access]: Voice Dream Reader file backup

[Ian Harrison]

Dear listers,

Is there any way to back up the files I have in Voice dream reader? I think my 
phone is dying and I don't want to lose the very long list of publications I 
have in the app.

Thanks in advance

[Mac-access]: Wierd sound problems on video playback

[Ian Harrison]

Dear listers.
My wife's iphone 4 s is defeating me.It will not play sound on videos. All 
other audio functions work perfectly. Occasionally, she can get the first two 
seconds of sound then it cuts out, which is very odd. She also tells me that 
the bar that shows the volume going up or down does not appear when she tries 
to use the volume buttons.

I am turning to you guys as I have searched the internet in vain for a 
solution. 

Thanks in advance

[Mac-access]: Should I be scared of Yosemite?

[Ian Harrison]

Dear listers.
I am thinking of buying a new mac mini. My old one currently runs Mountain 
Lion. I am used to the software, but the machine is starting to die. Buying a 
new one means I have to go to Yosemite. Can I have some opinions on the 
learning curve and relative benefits, please.

Grateful

[Mac-access]: University reading and DRM on web

[Ian Harrison]

Dear All.
I am having real problems with my degree and it is stumping my University IT 
team as well.

I am often given links to e books to read. I am usually given two options - 
download a pdf or read online. I have permission to do so. The downloaded pdfs 
appear blank, just constantly saying new line, new line in preview. When I 
try to read online I cannot seem to access the text to start reading. My wife 
says the text is there but I can't get the voice over cursor into the document. 
I don't know if it is a frames issue or a DRM problem.

Has anyone out there solved this or come across the same?

Thanks in advance.

Preview voice over only reading first page

[Ian Harrison]

Hi again listers

ON my macbook air, under mavericks, voice over only wants to read the first 
page of a pdf.

I understand there is a way in text edit to change this  - setting it to wrap 
to window instead of page - but I can't see anything similar in preview.

I am reading some very large books in pdf format and it in not practical to 
convert them to text edit.

with thanks

iworks again

[Ian Harrison]

Thanks to Ann for her reply.

My new mba came with iworks installed by the retailer. When I go on the App 
Store from my mac mini, Iworks is not listed as a purchase. I guess this is 
because it was not done through my apple i d.

Is there a way to link the purchase of the mac book air to show that I now own 
a copy of iWork's and ilife?

Thanks again

urgent cannot save attachments in mail

[Ian Harrison]

Hi listers,
I have an email with attachments. On my mac mini using mountain lion I can save 
the attachments to a folder. On my macbook air with mavericks I cannot. The 
option to save them is dimmed even though I know they are there.

I also couldn't seem to open the file from within the message unless I went 
through item chooser, so is there a focus problem in mavericks as well?

thanks in advance

mavericks folder attributes

[Ian Harrison]

Hi,

under mavericks I can't seem to find a way to have windows open in a new window 
without closing all others.

I prefer to work with lots of windows open and used to do so in mountain lion, 
but there doesn't seem to be a preference for this in mavericks.

Thanks in advance

 Hello Ian,
 
 Here is the workflow I normally follow when using FineReader Pro (FRP) to 
 convert existing PDF image files or other files I want to OCR. This is the 
 quick method and basically involves opening the document in FRP, allowing 
 the automatic recognition process to complete, and then exporting the 
 resulting text to the desired file format. This quick process works fine for 
 the vast majority of my OCR needs. Note that these instructions are for 
 processing existing digital documents such as PDF files. I also use FRP to 
 interface directly with my scanner for importing scanned paper documents, 
 and I can write up a separate set of instructions for that process if you 
 need them.
 
 1. In the FInder, navigate to the file you wish to OCR.
 2. Press VO+Shift+M to open the shortcut menu, and choose “Open with… 
 FineReader Pro.
 3. The file will open in FRP and FRP will automatically start the process of 
 “Recognizing” the document. A dialog box provides status information on this 
 process.
 4. When the recognition process has completed, you might encounter a dialog 
 box with a message or messages warning you of any problems encountered 
 during the recognition process. Close the warning dialog when you’ve 
 finished reading it.
 5. Press Command+S to open the Export dialog.
 6. Select the format you wish to export the document to, and adjust any 
 associated options if desired, then click Next. This opens a standard OSX 
 File Save As dialog where you will name the file, choose the location where 
 you’d like it saved, and click the Export button to complete the process.
 
 HTH,
 Bryan

Mac Book Air set up

I am soon to be the lucky owner of a new 11 inch MBA.

I notice that it has a very large track pad. I am much more used to a keyboard

setting up the Air for efficient coice over usage, as well as any other 
mainstream tips to make it the best experience for me.

With many thanks

Hi  listers

What is the easiest way to stop voice over reading the book out while keeping 
my place in the book? I am reading a text book now and want to pause often to 
take notes.

Thanks

Should I move to Mavericks?

[Ian Harrison]

Hi listers

I have a 2010 mac mini, running mountain lion. It is a little slow opening apps 
but not too bad yet. I am about to start a degree in September and may be 
getting a laptop as well, which will probably be using Mavericks or Yosemite.

I am looking for opinions as to the pros and cons of upgrading to Mavericks at 
this time and whether my mac mini will be better or worse with the upgrade.

Not urgent, but thought others may be having the same thoughts.

Thanks
Ian

default searching and voice over voice

[Ian Harrison]

Hi listers,

Every time I do a search using google the results default to australian based 
services.

I suspect this is related to the fact that I use the australian voice over 
voice, but my keyboard is set to uk english.

Can anyone tell me how to get google to default to uk results first?

thanks in advance, Ian

 Hello everybody
 
 The responses are still flooding in with requests to remain subscribed. 
 That is just excellent, many thanks to all of you who have written to us.
 
 This post is just to let you know what will happen when Gordon creates the 
 new group. As you're subscribed to it, you will be sent an Email just as 
 you were when you joined the group. Despite this, please don't start 
 posting to the new address until we tell you that it's operational. 
 Further, there will be a short outage of service. This is inevitable as 
 Gordon changes the DNS settings for the domains over to the new servers. 
 Usually, your provider will pick up the change quite quickly; but it isn't 
 unknown for it to take between 12 and 24 hours for it to happen with some 
 of the most rigid providers whose DNS systems only poll one of the 13 
 global NS systems once or twice a day. In the norm, however, it only takes 
 a matter of minutes.
 
 Also, it is possible that, if you have used the group at one address in 
 the same session as it changes to a new one, you may get an outage until 
 you reboot. This is because most systems retain temporary caches of name 
 servers and IP addresses so that they don't have to keep continually 
 polling the provider's servers. This happens behind the scenes and, unless 
 you know how to disable or modify this behaviour in your operating 
 system's IP stack rules, there isn't much that you can do about it other 
 than rebooting.
 
 Anyway, please don't panic if you see new subscription messages but mail 
 bounces or other odd things happen. Things will settle themselves down 
 eventually and I will make a point of writing to each and every one of you 
 to tell you when the change-over is complete. Please know that we do care 
 about our members and we will make this transition as seamless as possible 
 for everybody.
 
 Warmest regards
 
 Lynne

mac book air and bump ons

[Ian Harrison]

Dear listers,

I am thinking of buying a laptop for use at university.

An attractive option is the mac book air, but I am worried about one aspect. I 
am a pretty good typist, but rely on bump ons to guide me around the wireless 
keyboard I use with my mac mini. 

If I put bump ons on the keyboard for the air, witll this have an impact on the 
screen when closed, or even stop it shutting down? Are there any ways to ensure 
little or no damage from using bump ons?

Thanks

Talking Newspapers and Voice dream reader

[Ian Harrison]

Hi listers  
Many UK members will also be struggling with the RNIB take over of the TNAUK 
subscription service for magazines and newspapers.

The current system being used by the RNIB crashes my iphone 4s and is 
ridiculous to navigate within a publication.

I thought I would import a magazine into voice dream to see if this helps. It 
stops it crashing, but I am a newby to voice dream and would like some tips to 
help me navigate through.

Voice dream seems to be able to see the chapter or article I am on, but I can't 
find any way to browse the chapters or articles so I can go straight to the 
bits I am interested in. Does voice dream really break down the file into 
individual articles or chapters? Will this allow me to somehow browse the 
contents of the magazine?

If it does then it will make my ability to read improve vastly.

Thanks in advance

geography of the main pages and how to pick a contact, read their texts and 
then reply.

Can anyone direct me to a podcast or tutorial for help?

Thanks in advance

Bluetooth keyboard setup

[Ian Harrison]

Dear listers,

I don't think I have my keyboard set up correctly or at least not the right way 
for navigating text or selecting items in finder.

I have tried to follow two tips from this group without success. The selecting 
of non contiguous items and the tip for moving to the end of a page or 
paragraph in text documents.

I religiously follow instructions, only to be beeped at.

Is it perhaps something to do with hardware versus software  actions on the 
keyboard? If so, can someone please explain the differences and show me how to 
toggle between the two.

With thanks in advance
Ian

Filing stuff

[Ian Harrison]

Dear listers,

When filing stuff using the save as command we are given a drop down listof 
suggestions, which normally shows the last folder you used for that 
application. It also gives something like the last 4 or 5 locations. Is there 
any way to increase the number of locations the drop down can show?

Thanks in advance

page up or down with BT keyboard

[Ian Harrison]

Dear listers,
I have tried to follow all the advice on how to page up or down in text edit 
without success.

The command is listed as FN plus v plus o plus up or down key.

When I do this all I get is a beep and the cursor hasn't moved.

I've checked what wrap pref is set and that I am interacting with the text.

What am I missing?

voicestream versus read 2 go

[Ian Harrison]

Dear listers,

I am sorry for coming in late to recent comments.
Some time ago I gave up reading audio daisy books in read 2 go as for some 
reason it was clipping parts of sentences fairly regularly. I have two 
questions:

1. Has anyone seen this behaviour improve in read 2 go?

2. Does voice stream also read audio daisy, and if so, is there any problem 
with clipping?

Thanks in advance

Blackboard

[Ian Harrison]

Dear listers,

I am looking to do a degree in the new year, as some of you may know.

Apparently, a lot of universities in the UK use Blackboard for their virtual 
learning web site and will be a key part of the resources I will need to use.

I have to provide an assessment of the assistance I will need for the course 
and I have heard rumours that Blackboard is not very friendly for screen 
readers.

I would appreciate any comments or experience of Blackboard and any alternative 
solutions should it prove not to be accessible.

Thanks in advance

Beyond voice over basics

[Ian Harrison]

Hi listers,

I am hoping you can point me towards detailed guides or tutorials that will 
help me develop a more advanced capability in using voice over on both the mac 
and in IOS.

I am hoping to start a degree next year and I suspect I will need to be much 
better than I am now. I currently use a bluetooth keyboard on the mac but have 
not yet paired one with my iphone. I've learned enough shortcuts to get around 
but see that many other listers use far more advanced techniques when it comes 
to text searching and editing and using the web.

I am hoping to use the time I have to become much more proficient, especially 
when away from home or using unfamiliar software.

Thanks for any thoughts

Ian

Starting a degree advice needed

[Ian Harrison]

Dear listers,
I am going to be starting history degree next year at the grand old age of 56. 
I never did a degree when younger and was hoping for some advice from those who 
have done one with a visual impairment.

When it comes to reading and writingI consider myself totally blind and use 
voice over in the main, on my iphone and ipad mini, with a mac mini at home.

Any help as to what I will need specifically for doing a degree would be 
greatly appreciated.

Re: itunes sorting shortcuts

[Ian Harrison]

Hi,

thanks, but it doesn't seem to be working for me. I have an apple bluetooth 
keyboard and the only backslash key I have is with the question mark key.

I interacted with the table of music and pressed the keys I think you mean. It 
brings up online help. What do I interact with first and am I using the right 
backslash key?

I can't seem to get the vo curser into the column headers without using the 
mouse pointer, which is a real strain for me.

Regards
Ian

 Hi Ian,
 
 VO-Shift-backslash works to sort any column of a table, whether you're in 
 Finder or in iTunes.  If you use it again, it will reverse the order of sort. 
  (On English language keyboards the backslash key is under the delete key.) 
 Remember to interact.
 
 Cheers,
 
 Esther

Starting afresh

[Ian Harrison]

Hello all,

My mac mini is showing signs of software age. I am considering upgrading to 
Mountain Lion from Lion and taking the opportunity to wipe the disk clean.

1. Is the upgrade worth the option - not just for voice over as others use the 
computer.

2. I am happy that all my data is backed up, but was wondering if there was an 
easy way to reload all applications. Is it simply a matter of copying back into 
the apps folder all previously used programmes?

3. Is there an easy way to avoid having to set up all email accounts and other 
preferences, without re introducing all the software problems I have now?

Are there any steps in the above that would require sighted intervention?

I hope this multi faceted email doesn't break the etiquette of the list, 
apologies if it does.

Thanks
Ian

Re: proximity sensor?

[Ian Harrison]

Totally agree David.
I use a long cane, but was thinking a small clip on sensor with bluetooth would 
be far more versatile than a probably very unstylish pair of glasses. Even the 
ultra cane relies on the long cane approach for steps and kerbs etc. Shame it 
casts over £600!

 HiAll,
 
 just read about glasses you can wear that vibrate when your upper torso is
 approaching an obstacle. Sold by RNIB in UK. Price £60.
 
 I would feel conspicuous wearing these, but it got me thinking about whether
 a more discreet proximity sensor that could be linked by bluetooth to my
 phone which would then provide the vibration.
 
 Has anyone seen a product like this or any idea who to approach to develop?

safari reading list revisited

[Ian Harrison]

Sorry to come back to this, but I am not getting anywhere in resolving this 
problem.

Despite everything I read telling me that safari on the mac and on the iphone 
will cache articles for offline reading it doesn't seem to be working for me.

I am losing articles when they are deleted from the publishers' servers and I 
can't access anything in my reading list when airline mode is on.

i have searched in vain on the web for answers and have triple checked all the 
settings in my phone.

Any ideas out there?
Thanks in advance

Re: google drive

[Ian Harrison]

Hi

using on the mac.

I think I am using the web interface, though I did try to download the app. All 
I ended up with was a google drive finder window on my desktop. 

I was under the impression google drive could work a bit like drop box and 
copying files into the finder window would start an upload. This does not seem 
to happen, so I started to try to use the web interface instead.
Thanks

Re: safari reading list

[Ian Harrison]

If you look in safari settings the ones for reader indicate that reading 
offline should be possible.

On the instapaper problem, I have been contacted by TNAUK to tell me they think 
the problem is at their end and they are trying to fix.

 Still puzzled, but thanks for the reply.

 I am having a problem with this and I think I must have my settings wrong.
 
 I understood the reading list cached articles on my i device for later 
 reading. I am saving articles downloaded from the newspapers from TNAUK. I 
 add them to the reading list on my phone and mac just fine, but if I leave 
 some time before going back to read I keep getting the 404 not found

 my phone or mac, but merely bookmarked.
 
 I really want to use the service like you would instapaper, but keep

 Does anyone have a clue what I am doing wrong?

Re: safari reading list

[Ian Harrison]

HI

I thought of that - but I thought the point of the reading list was that it 
downloaded the articles for reading off line, in which case the bookmark should 
not be taking me back to their server.

Still puzzled, but thanks for the reply.

 hello all,
 
 I am having a problem with this and I think I must have my settings wrong.
 
 I understood the reading list cached articles on my i device for later 
 reading. I am saving articles downloaded from the newspapers from TNAUK. I 
 add them to the reading list on my phone and mac just fine, but if I leave 
 some time before going back to read I keep getting the 404 not found message 
 relating to TNAUK'S server. This implies to me it is not cached on my phone 
 or mac, but merely bookmarked.
 
 I really want to use the service like you would instapaper, but keep losing 
 saved articles.
 
 Does anyone have a clue what I am doing wrong?
 
 Many thanks

Re: more updates on magic trackpad issue

Hi

You mention you use the track pad with a mac mini. Could you please describe 
the pros and cons of using this over a wireless keyboard and magic mouse?

First, not to mention a  relatively basic point, but the Magic Trackpad 
 does run on two AA batteries.  
 
   If you have connection problems, remove the paring from your Mac's 
 Bluetooth preferences and allow it to find the trackpad again.  I tend to 
 have this issue after I change the batteries or if I boot between my Mini and 
 one of my external volumes with Lion or Snow Leopard.

sky plus app

Hi,

Has anyone used the new version of this app with voice over?

Apparently it can be used to control a sky HD  box. If it is accessible I might

Re: editing playlists

Hi,

thanks for the tip about command and l. It sort of works as long as you 
uninteract after each instance and then re interact. If you don't do that , the 
cursor stays on the last song you went to.

 Hi Margaret,
 
 You can also navigate to the LCD section by starting from the search text

 TrackPad Commander on).  If you interact with the LCD section you get

 Sarah, as another way of answering Ian's question, I thought that you could 
 always press Command-L to go to the currently playing track in the songs 
 table.  If you started playing it from a playlist, you'd get the other song 
 tracks in that playlist showing up in the songs table, the original playlist 
 you selected would be highlighted in the sources table, and you would be able 
 to edit the playlist contents in the songs table.  Does this not also work?
 
 HTH.  Cheers,

Mail in Lion navigation

[Ian Harrison]

Happy new year to all.

I have just installed Lion and am having some frustration navigating the new 
Mail view.
Whenever I delete a message from the message table I am not focused on the next 
email like I used to be. It seems any key I press throws me to the bottom of my 
table and I have to scroll all the way to the top again. In snow leopard I 
could also do this quickly by holding down option and up arrow, but this does 
not seem to work in Lion either.
I am using the wireless keyboard, so do not have home and end functions.
I would like to stick with the new view , but may have to go back if I can't 
sort this out.

Kind regards
Ian

Re: feedback on Mumeric keyboard for the Mac

Hello David,

I do have a bluetooth numeric keypad I no longer want.

 A few days ago I posted a question about  numeric keypads and the mac. I

 I spotted a USB numeric keypad on amazon for £7 so decided to take a punt on 
 it.
 I have just plugged it in an although the Mac was very confused by it and 
 said  it did not recognise it as  a keyboard it nevertheless works perfectly 
 with Voiceover and the Num Pad commander.  I just closed keyboard assistant 
 and all was fine. Although the unit is cheap it does not feel cheap with 
 solid keys with a good travel.  The keys have a slightly rubbery feel rather 
 than the polished affect of the Apple keyboards. On balance think I prefer 
 the rubbery texture as there is more friction and less chance of a finger 
 slip.I can now go ahead and purchase a Mac Ergonomic keyboard and 
 hopefully the masses of typing I have to do inn the next 12 months will be a 
 more pleasurable experience.  Unfortunately the ergonomic keyboard is not 
 cheap, I think about £130 I seem to remember or about $200 but I think the 
 increase in cropper typing posture and comfort for my wrists shoulder and 
 back   will make it worthwhile .

Re: Instapaper and Safari

[Ian Harrison]

I don't normally clutter up the list with replies, but I must for this 
extensive piece of advice.

Very grateful.
On 17 November 2011, at 05:28, Esther wrote:

 Hi Ian,
 
 It's pretty easy to create an Instapaper bookmarklet for Safari for the Mac. 
 For that matter, it's pretty simple to create any bookmarklet for Safari, 
 including the ones on the Google Translate pages.  I would create the 
 Bookmark so that it is saved to my Bookmarks Bar.  That way, if it is the 
 first item in your Bookmarks Bar, for example, just pressing Command+1 in 
 Safari will activate the bookmarklet.  (In the case of the Instapaper 
 bookmarklet, this means saving the current web page to your Read Later list 
 in Instapaper.  For other bookmarks, pressing Command+2, Command+3, etc. will 
 take you to the web page of the second, third, etc. bookmarks on your 
 Bookmarks Bar.)
 
 You're going to create a bookmark, then you'll copy the link to the 
 bookmarklet on the Instapaper web page, and move to the bookmark in the Show 
 All Bookmarks page of Safari.  Using the context menu to edit the URL 
 address you'll paste the link information into the address field of the 
 bookmark you created.
 
 1. In Safari, navigate to the URL of the Instapaper Bookmarklet:
 http://www.instapaper.com/extras
 2. Press Command+D to create a bookmark to this page
 3. In the dialog window for creating a bookmark, type Read Later into the 
 text box for the name of the bookmark
 4. VO-Right arrow to the pop up menu bar for the location you choose to keep 
 the bookmark, press it with VO-Space, and select the Bookmarks Bar by 
 typing the first few letters (e.g. b or b o) and/or use your arrow keys 
 to move to the selection.  Make sure you've chosen the Bookmarks Bar and 
 not the Bookmarks Menu item that is just after it, so you can use the 
 Command+1, etc. shortcut to go to this bookmark.
 5. Navigate to the Add button and press it with VO-Space.  This adds the 
 bookmark and also closes the dialog window.
 6. Navigate to the Read Later bookmarklet.  You can either navigate to the 
 Read Later bookmarklet heading, to read the instruction that will tell you 
 to drag to the bookmark to your Bookmarks bar, or navigate directly to the 
 Read Later link for the bookmarklet. (Navigate any way you like with the 
 web rotor set to headings or links, but item chooser menu is always a good 
 option, so you could press VO-I, then quickly type l i n for the links, 
 then type r e a d to find the Read Later bookmarklet link.  VO-Space to 
 move  to the link.
 7. VO-Shift-M to bring up the context menu and choose Copy Link
 8. Command+Option+B to Show All Bookmarks in Safari.  (Comment: I usually 
 have my Safari view options set so that the Bookmarks Bar is hidden and the 
 Tool Bar is hidden.  These options can be set in the View menu on the menu 
 bar, but you can also toggle them between show and hide with Command-Shift-B 
 for the Bookmarks Bar and Command-Shift-Backslash for the Tool bar.  This 
 just simplifies using item chooser menu, since you won't get items that 
 appear in the tool bar or bookmarks bar mixed in with your available 
 selections.)
 9. Navigate to the Bookmarks Bar item in the table of collections and 
 highlight it by clicking with VO-Shift-Space.
 10. Navigate to the table of bookmarks in the Bookmarks Bar by pressing 
 VO-Command-T  then interact (VO-Shift-Down Arrow).  You should be at the 
 position of the first bookmark in the Bookmarks Bar, which should be the 
 Read Later bookmark you just created.
 11. VO-Shift-M to bring up the context menu and select Edit Address
 12. Command-V to paste in the link you copied into the address field.
 13. Command-Option-B to toggle off Show all Bookmarks and return to your 
 previous web page.  Command+Right bracket to go back to the previous page 
 will also work here.
 
 You're done, and now whenever you visit a page you'd like to Read Later in 
 Instapaper on your Mac or on your iOS device, just press Command+1 to mark it.
 
 Although I usually hide my Bookmarks Bar, on my iPad in the Settings menu I 
 have Safari set so that Always Show Bookmarks Bar has the switch set to 
 on.  Then I can just flick to the Read Later bookmark and double tap it.
 
 The same principle applies on any web page where you're asked to drag a 
 bookmark to your Bookmarks Bar.  Just bring up the context menu to copy the 
 link for the bookmark, then paste it into the address field of the Bookmarks 
 Bar item in question on the Show All Bookmarks page of Safari.  This is the 
 general way you can get java script bookmarklets to work -- you just paste 
 the script into the URL address fields via the context menu.
 
 HTH.  Cheers,
 
 Esther

Instapaper and Safari

[Ian Harrison]

Hi to all,

Am I right in thinking there is a way to bookmark articles in safari on the mac 
so that I can later read them on my iphone?

If so, what do I have to do to enable this?

I love instapaper.

Re: Skype [Revisited]

[Ian Harrison]

Hi,

I am still using a very old version of skype as i heard there were access 
issues in later versions. However, i am constantly frustrated that there is no 
keyboard shortcut to answer an incoming call.

Are there any good reason to upgrade from my 2.x version?

thanks

 Hello everybody
 
 I've just had a bit of a play with the Skype interface and it seems that with 
 VoiceOver there are a couple of radio buttons and a couple of buttons which 
 aren't accessible or at least which aren't labelled. For example, the radio 
 button which switches the view option between contacts and messages isn't 
 labelled. All you get is Radio Button and Button.
 
 I'm sure that it can be used though, there doesn't seem to be anything major 
 that you can't do by other mean.
 
 I personally don't use Skype; but I'm sure Gordon wouldn't mind if you added 
 him to your contacts. His ID is mac-access.net. Those of you who had his old 
 ID TFT-bbs, he no longer uses that account so you may as well delete it.
