Re: VO helping me center a face in my iPhone's viewfinder
this technology exists in iphoto where the face is recognized and with input from the user, the face can be identified as a name. with a little tinkering with the phone camera software, I don't see why with a reference target, the face can be identified and spoken by name, etc even to the extent of adding a contact link to refer to the address book / contacts list. lew On 18 Dec 2011, at 12:46, Shaun Oliver wrote: I'd love to know how to do this.

I think this is pretty darn cool. I was lying on the floor with the dog snoring against my left side and the cat purring against my right, so I thought I'd hold the iPhone camera at arm's length and try to snap a photo. I launched the native camera app on my iphone 4 running IOS 5, put it in photo mode with auto flash and back-facing camera, held it straight in front of me with the back-facing lens aimed in the general direction of my face, and prepared to snap one of my standard off-center photos. . Next thing I knew, VO started saying, One face, small face, near top edge. I tilted the iPhone a bit and VO announced, One face, small face, near left edge. I kept tilting the phone until VO announce, face centered. Then I moved the camera closer to my face and VO announced, One face, large face, face centered. I then switched cameras to the front camera and got the same results. I also tried this in video mode but VO was silent. Lastly, I tried aiming the back facing camera at my Black Lab's face but could not get VO to recognize her. The cat decided she didn't want to be part of this experiment and ran off somewhere. I wonder what other IOS accessibility marvels I'm missing.grin Cheers, Bryan --- Mac Access At Mac Access Dot Net --- To reply to this post, please address your message to mac-access@mac-access.net You can find an archive of all messages postedto the Mac-Access forum at either the list's own dedicated web archive: http://mail.tft-bbs.co.uk/pipermail/mac-access/index.html or at the public Mail Archive: http://www.mail-archive.com/mac-access@mac-access.net/.

Re: blue tooth keyboard that comes with Imac.
I wouldn't advise tampering with it further, apple are very funny about replacing parts if the suplier feels that damage has ben done in the process of repair. the best thing is to leave it as it is and take it to your supplier who should replace it there and then. depending on where you purchased it that is. you won't need to take in the entire system, just the keyboard with your receipt. have you registered your product with apple online for support cover? lew On 18 Dec 2011, at 16:27, Ian McNamara wrote: Cool, I'll get a family member to have a look at it first to see if they can fix it for me if not it'll probly be a trip to the apple store during the week my brother is off work this week so he might take me there.

Re: Removing applications from App switcher in IPhone
Hi zack, I too am on dev with apple on this, I don't want to appear too tech on here to frighten users. basically, there's a glitch within the user layer of IOS5 which seems to have popped up in 5.01 possibly where if all apps have been killed in app switcher, IOS encounters a background crash. no errors given on device, instead, silence, reboots, voiceover becomes buggy at startup, runs fine, then about 4 to 5 mins later it repeats and continues. kind of like you would have a cyclic redundancy crash in windows XP as an example due to a hardware fault. I've sent info to apple on this as I cover my back all the time. lew On 18 Dec 2011, at 19:07, Zachary Kline wrote: Hi Lew and Paula, May I ask what apps you refer to?

Re: Removing applications from App switcher in IPhone
it would be handy to have a few of these systems available to run a schematic test, run the same function and let it take its course. my phone is pretty much standard, no extra apps, tweaks, etc. just standard as I only use it as my phone, messages, etc. wifi turned off by default, bluetooth off by default to save power and data. lew On 18 Dec 2011, at 19:34, Bubba wrote: Hi, that is what I was saying in my previous message that I had never had this to happen!

Re: Latest version of Mac OS
I would highly advise against this. not only is this highly illegal, it's also fraught with problems where compatibility of hardware is concerned and the behaviour of the board is concerned. Though it is possible, there is a great deal of harm that can be caused by this. I had tested this for a compliance method and ht took 2 days to do. not worth it. buy a mac mini or a macbook as a basic option. simple as that. anyway, security is the key point of apple's software hence it works only to apple hardware.

Re: Latest version of Mac OS
just in the issues of history sake, back in the early 90's when apple computer was still the old way, there were apple clones around from umax and power computing. At the time, apple was interested in supporting the product but they had to follow licensing from apple. After a long legal case, this went wrong and Steve HJobbs axed all clone support with a law suit. The way Mac OS, especially OS X works in the security aspect is, the software detects a chip installed on the logic board as well as open firmware or EFI, so OS X and the older MAC OS had a security point installed, locking the operating system to apple only systems. This is still the same today. There are some folk in this world who think that creating Hackintosh systems is a good thing. unfortunately, it damages the sales and production reputation of apple. hence a recent lawsuit taking action against a rather recent developer who cracked OS X and built hackintosh systems that way. In my honest opinion as well as fact stated by apple. this is illegal and voids warranty, support, etc to the product. Even though the hardware we use in our iMacs, Macbook Pro,s and Mac Pro's use state of the art hardware, the chipsets alone are relatively standard. I think it's best we close this subject and discourage cloning and Hackintosh actions from this list. As we all represent apple as users, pro users and engineers, we keep apple close to us. lew On 16 Dec 2011, at 19:50, Mrs. Lynnette Annabel Smith wrote: Hello Glenn There's no legal installation on a PC, as far as I'm aware anyway.

Re: What to do when an Application won't open

Slightly off topic. does anyone here have an old apple powerbook G3 spare for parts?
Hi all, sorry to post this rather slightly off topic post. I've just taken on a powerbook g3 pismo in a very nice condition for the project, however the removeable DVD rom drive is dead (previous owner had damaged the main panel leaving it missing the cover, etc) does anyone have an old powerbook G3 lombard / wallstreet / pismo laying around no longer used or for parts they would be able to spare or the drive needed please. sorry it's off topic but as we're all mac folkies here and causing trouble, I thought it'd be a good place to ask. by the way, have had some headway on outspoken. a very kind gent has sent me an outspoken 9 disk, am still however looking for an outspoken 9.2 updater if anyone knows anything. cheers gang lew Mr. L.

As I said, please note...

Re: finding ways around
OK let's see what can be done here. you say that when you try to make system changes and need to lock or unlock and it asks for a password. stupid question but did you try just hitting enter on the password. there's a chance there's no password but it always asks for one as normal, no matter whether you log in or anything else. if your system wasn't set up with a password then you are ok. if there is a system password, then it's time to break out the big guns...

Re: Altec Lansing inmotion KICK IMT 520 portable iPhone/iPod Dock
this system sounds like a good number of products here in the UK and yes by the sound of it, it's rather blind friendly. most of these systems are either remote comtrolled and use the dock for iphone / ipod touch, etc. it should support the iPhone 5 when released in the future as these products cover from the 4s down to the earlier product ranges. best thing is to check on apple's store site as it may be sold there. ther options are to check with the manufacturer if your product is compatible. lew On 5 Dec 2011, at 17:10, Sarah Alawami wrote: Oh wow.

Re: HD dimmed
yes. your hard drive has either been locked or is dying. symptoms of this include applications struggling to load, strange sounds which you haven't heard before. irratic booting, etc. this is a dead hard disk. please could you drop me an email off list with details of your machine, if you have apple care cover, etc and I can walk you through various test steps, etc to identify a dead drive. from what you have described, your drive has failed. Hard drives have a shelf life, because of their rotational speed, heat, data read and write processes, drives fail. When they do, you know about it. I've been there only yesterday with an SCSI drive which failed, had to disassemble it, clean, respin and reassemble it to bring it back to life to back up the contents to install on a nwer drive. lew On 4 Dec 2011, at 21:30, Roger Woolgrove wrote: Hi all, After installing some software and returning to desktop, MacbookHD is dimmed and I seem unable to access it.

Re: programming on the mac
that's it. ffrom my own experience, I use X Code to code certain products, but after that, I send my work off to a chap I know who can work on the GUI and between us work on voiceover tune ups. I do miss the old days of C++ etc. oh well lol oh by the way. too many ghands You're not Vishnu are you? if so, I humbly bow down to you. On 29 Nov 2011, at 18:18, Travis Siegel wrote: It isn't (yet) possible for a voiceover user to build an apple interface from start to finish without sighted assistance. This means, that if you're trying to use apple provided tools (such as interface builder) you're out of luck if you want a gui and you don't have sighted help. On the other hand, it's possible to build and distribute apps built with other technologies such as java, without any sighted assistance at all, since java has some gui layouts that will do the work for you. Then, there's the rennasaince development tools, which you can use to generate gui screens for you without need of sighted assistance. The latest version of the renasaince system only works on 10.6 and later (so leopard/tiger is out) but if you're on snow leopard or lion, that's not a problem. On the other hand (have I run out of hands yet?) There's always apple scripts for simple tasks, which can generate a limited gui for small programs, and there's always terminal programs wich are of course not tied to any gui at all, and can be anything you like. The long and short of it is, if you want to use apple tools, and you want to build from scratch, you'll need sighted help (and fairly knowledgeable help at that) to do the job. If you're modifying existing things, or using java, you're fine. If you're using something else, then it's possible you can do it alone, but most of the time, development environments for the mac tend to forget there's such thing as a non-gui interface, and we're sunk on those systems, but if you search hard enough, you may find something that works. --- Mac Access At Mac Access Dot Net --- To reply to this post, please address your message to mac-access@mac-access.net You can find an archive of all messages postedto the Mac-Access forum at either the list's own dedicated web archive: http://mail.tft-bbs.co.uk/pipermail/mac-access/index.html or at the public Mail Archive: http://www.mail-archive.com/mac-access@mac-access.net/.

Running the organization is a stressful thing, especially when it comes to contact with companies, supply chains and clearance bases for parts, machines, software, etc. I agree on the points you've raised. the whole ppoint of a computer or data system is the development and use of a HUI (Human user interface) going back to the days when the mouse slowly crept into system use, everything was purely keyboard based to run applications, perform simple and complex tasks. moving through the years, IT has changed dramatically, from OS implementation, accessibility and so much more, so yes there's going to be a point where we VI and blind users have a difficult time mastering the various shortcuts for a screen reader as well as the OS in general. I can refer to my days for a while using JAWS as well as system programming, etc. If anyone asked me how to use jaws these days, I'd have no clue. I can't even remember the windows shortcut mappings anymore, so need to study again lol. when it comes to the iphone, ipad, etc, this is another step forward indeed. we now have a tactile interface to a screen reader. Reach out and touch design certainly opens up new doors to mobile devices and makes a massive game change and I'm glad to say. I love it. On a design thought, why not give the macbook pro a boost. give us a touch screen interface as well as the usual keyboard and mouse interface. it would give us a better feel and understanding of what is actually on screen rather than just listening to the UI through shortcuts. that's one of the points behind the iphone and ipad and it's a winner for me. anyway enough from me. people to contact, a part lookup to do and a request for an old apple powerbook display for a broken powerbook about to be assigned to a new owner. take care all and it's nice to have a home here to help. lew FreeMacsForTheBlind --- Mac Access At Mac Access Dot Net --- To reply to this post, please address your message to mac-access@mac-access.net You can find an archive of all messages postedto the Mac-Access forum at either the list's own dedicated web archive: http://mail.tft-bbs.co.uk/pipermail/mac-access/index.html or at the public Mail Archive: http://www.mail-archive.com/mac-access@mac-access.net/.

Re: iTunes Match
you're forgetting. Apple is based in the USA, so it has it's rights to launch the product at first hand in the USA before shipping over the world. this is so that if there are initial problems, then it can be dealt with. not only that, but this is also a supported contractual agreement between apple and any other 3rd parties and support infrastructures. lew On 26 Nov 2011, at 15:07, krystal watson wrote: does any one know when i tunes match will be released in tasmania australia its not fair u s a get every thing first sad smile On 26/11/2011, at 10:51 PM, chris hallsworth wrote: Does anyone know if and when iTunes Match will be available in the UK?

Re: iTunes Match
I agree on that one. Think about it, apple are international, so you'd think that as a product or service rolls out, we'd all see a benefit of it. sadly even here it's not the case. take as an example. iphone 4s pay and go with O2. not available till new year or just after... why? apparently it's due to supply and demand. oh well.

Re: VoiceOver on iPod Video?
Voiceover support came out with the 3GS so that ipod isn't supported and there is no way of installing voiceover to it as it's part of the firmware and storage module. sorry. even the current apple ipad classic doesn't support voiceover. it should to be honest as it's a great storage media as well as itunes system. oh well. we do ask these things. lew On 26 Nov 2011, at 17:37, G.E. wrote: Hi, I'm Glenn, and new to this list.

I am not sure if it can. I had RockBox on it before, and I will probably reinstall RockBox later, but I would first like to try and get it talking with VoiceOver. I activated VoiceOver on my other IOS devices, though I don't remember exactly in iTunes I did that. I just don't know if it is an option on my iPod Video, so if so, how do I go about doing that?

Re: Mac feel natural
I should advise at this point that it's third party, expensive and not sure how it would intergrate with voiceover.

Re: Reaper, Mixers, Line-ins and stuff
OK. I'm sorry to have to say this, but please people, stop this bloomin ridiculous argument over reaper and audio hardware. OK I have played my part in this by correcting issues and offering advice where I may but from this point forward, I am pulling out. I don't wish to switch on my mac first thing in the morning to read rebuttals regarding an audio interface or reaper where it comes to quality issues. I will from an OOFFICIAL standpoint say this having been an audio professional for several years. At the end of the day, depending on your budget, you can still produce professional results with a reasonably cheap mic or line in source, decent cables, a decent recording interface, even griffin iMic can handle it, etc and use reaper with EQ, reerb, compressors, and the likes of to get a decent recording done for clients, internet broadcasts, etc. So please people stop this, I'm getting a little tired of it and I'm no moderator, just a technician sitting on the fence. yours with concern. lew On 25 Nov 2011, at 00:41, Dane Trethowan wrote: It was you who mentioned people not being able to afford the stuff we've been discussing here and it was you who said you thought it unrealistic for people on a budget to be able to afford the type of sound devices recommended for use with Reaper and it was you who recommended the Imic. Yep its true that most people probably would be satisfied with an Imic for general recording/playback use but it ain't gonna get you too far when using Reaper. Second to this stroll into your local computer shop here at any rate, ask for an Imic sound device and see how far you get, most likely you'll either end up walking out the door without a sound card or walking out the door with a sound device for the same amount of money which does far mor so when i talk about professional sound devices now I'm talking about something which is usually in stock and readily available, a standard piece of computer equipment nowadays etc. Also remember that the Imic is 6 years old, a great device but technology has moved on since that time. The Imic is a Classic design but we've moved on, we've advanced thus have sound devices acquired more power and more flexibility so feel free to explore the big wide world and see what you find smile. On 25/11/2011, at 7:40 AM, Mrs. Lynnette Annabel Smith wrote: Hello Dane I answered these points already. :) I know it isn't a professional card; but my point was that you were talking about basic line recording. I'm not disputing the assertion that it's not the best piece of hardware in the world. I was just making the comment that most people would be happy with what it turns out if they only wanted basic line recording, no MIDI, not professional stuff; just basic line out that's isolated from the Mac. That was my only point. Lynne On 24 Nov 2011, at 03:30, Dane Trethowan wrote: Hi Folks! Sorry for the change in subject line but it probably better reflects the thread in any case because several issues need to be addressed here. Sorry too! for losing the original message of Lynne's I intended to reply to. In short she suggested the Imic as a sound card to use with Reaper Audio but Reaper audio has far more capabilities than the Imic can cater for thus you're not going to get the full benefit out of an Imic so in a way Lew is quite right. The Imic is exactly what it is, a very basic but good quality audio analogue line-in/microphone/line-out solution and yep! I use them here as they're extremely useful as a second sound device on a Notebook where I need to do analogue recording. The Imic is limited however in its quality, it does not for example support the professional sampling rates of 96KHZ and I don't think it even supports 24-bit sound format and this is where things like the Fastrak USB mixer I have and many other modern-day sound devices come into their own, they handle multi track audio rather than just the 2 channel audio. I'm going to leave Midi out of the conversation for now as its a totally different area of recording altogether. Line-in can be an analogue or a digital type and my Fastrak mixer supports a digital line-in facility though not an analogue. Many musical instruments support digital line-out these days so the mixer would plug straight into those. Again when I'm talking musical instruments in this sense I'm not talking Midi. The mixer also has a XLR connector which can be configured for various microphone types including powered and non-powered microphones. Add to that an audiophile set of analogue line outs for connecting to an amp or another panel and a separate headphone out amp for monitoring and cuing then you have a pretty powerful beast to play with when using Reaper. --- Mac Access At Mac Access Dot Net --- To reply to this post, please address your message to
Re: two more questions
ok let's see what we can do here. first off, voiceover can cut out mid sentence if as an example, another voice (system clock or announcement) trips the voiceover reading method as the speech synthesis server is running multiple instances and trips. Text edit can be the default app for documents you want to use. Here's a user tip for this. go to a doc file. VO - SHIFT - M to call up the right click menu, arrow down to open with, right arrow, this then give you options to open either with the suggested app or something else compatible with the files, go to OTHER this opens a dialogue to select the app in question. go to text edit, then voiceover around the window until you find a checkbox saying make this the default app. ensure this is checked (VO Space) then OK. done. TADA. lol lew On 24 Nov 2011, at 20:57, Lovette Yewchan wrote: Hi there. Is it common for VO to sometimes cut out in speech mid sentence etc.?

There are some options specifically for distribution lists which you can bring up in address book when you bring up the context menu so the concept of distribution is definitely a Mac as well as a Windows one. two hurdles I encountered when I did this war firstly that navigating the between the group , seemed difficult despite tabbing and interacting. I eventually closed Address book and was then able to find the table of group I had created to paste the contacts in. The new ease of non contiguous item selection in Lion proved very useful here. Not having to mess around with cursor tracking was a bonus. Secondly initially, the distribution list appeared not to work. What I did was set up the distribution list in address Book and then elect email from the context menu on the group. This would not work. What I found in my case was that I had to close both address book and mail. However on opening mail again I was then able to type in the group name into the to edit box and mail dutifully added all the maims from the address book. So what happened was I typed LVFMC which was my group name and pressed enter. Mail then populated the to edit boxes with all the necessary addresses. It may be that it will now work from Address Book and that mail has to restart to find the group set up by address book before all is smooth. .
