Re: Mac-cessibility Quick Tip #24
Cool. Hey you guys should post a tip about changing your facebook status with adium. It would be worth mentioning that you can chat over facebook too. I have never been able to find a win program that can do this.

Re: Making Firefox Speak on the Mac
On 13/6/09 16:50, Jane Jordan (GMail) wrote: > Can someone re-send instructions on what I need to do to get Firefox > speaking? One possibility is WebAnywhere: http://webanywhere.cs.washington.edu/ The other possibility is the Fire Vox addon that turns Firefox into a self-voicing application: http://firevox.clcworld.net/ Here's some instructions I put together a while back for installing Fire Vox. Make sure VoiceOver is on throughout. First download and install the current version of Firefox in your Applications folder. Next download the FireVox add-ons bundle. From the terminal, run: fetch http://firevox.clcworld.net/clc-4-tts_bundle_v4.0_release.xpi Firefox allows you to have one or more user profiles. Create a FireVox profile for Firefox. From the terminal, run: /Applications/Firefox.app/Contents/MacOS/firefox-bin -CreateProfile firevox Next run Firefox, telling it to load in the foreground with the new profile and open the add-on installer. From the terminal, run: /Applications/Firefox.app/Contents/MacOS/firefox-bin -foreground -P firevox `pwd`/clc-4-tts_bundle_v4.0_release.xpi Note the inline use of the pwd command to get the directory of the Fire Vox bundle: http://developer.apple.com/DOCUMENTATION/Darwin/Reference/ManPages/man1/pwd.1.html VoiceOver should now announce you are in a Mozilla Firefox window. This will be the add-on installer, but no information about it is exposed to Firefox. There are two buttons in the installer window "Cancel" and "Install". "Install" is automatically focused. However, for security reasons, the button is disabled for a short timeout. Count to 5 to ensure the button is activable, then press Enter to install the add-on. Now count to 5 again to give the add-on time to install. You should now be in a window called "Add-ons" showing installed addons, but VoiceOver can't read anything other than the window title and window controls. Firefox needs to restart to enable the newly installed add-ons. Press Command Q to quite Firefox. Now start Firefox again with your profile. From the terminal, run: /Applications/Firefox.app/Contents/MacOS/firefox-bin -P firevox With VoiceOver enabled, you should now be able to explore the Firefox window and interface. Fire Vox is using Mac TTS for speech output. There's a guide to the command line options for the Firefox binary at: https://developer.mozilla.org/En/Command_Line_Options Hope that helps. -- Benjamin Hawkes-Lewis --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "MacVisionaries" group.

Re: Mac-cessibility Quick Tip #24
Hey there. Thanks for the tip. Is there a way for VO users to actually see other mood messages? As it is now, you can only see the name of the contact and not the mood message, but there is apparently some columns that you could manipulate in some way to show the mood message, but i haven't found a way to do this with VO. /Krister 14 jun 2009 kl. 03.37 skrev Cara Quinn: > > Mac-cessibility quick Tip #24 is now posted at: > > http://www.lioncourt.com/2009/06/13/mac-cessibility-quick-tip-24/ > > Skype users, enjoy! > > Cara :) > --- > Follow me on Twitter! > > https://twitter.com/ModelCara > > View my Online Portfolio at: > http://www.onemodelplace.com/CaraQuinn > > > > --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "MacVisionaries" group.

Making a new task from a message in mail
Hello friends. Has anyone tried making a task based on a message in Mail? When i vo- shift-M in a mail to make a task and then enter "new task" i'm put back at the beginning of the mail and am not sure what to do to have the task completed. Does anyone have any hints, tricks or helpful things to suggest for doing this or is this simply not accessible?

Optical character recognition for iPhone
Good morning, Curious if anyone knows if there is currently an OCR app for the iPhone? If you know of any I'd love to know their names so that I can contact their devlopers regarding making the app accessible with Voiceover as quickly as possible. With an out of the box accessible phone, with built-in camera and 3rd party accessible OCR software many peoples lives would be greatly improved.

Type ahead in Itunes 8.2
Hey, I just upgraded to Itunes 8.2 and it works well except for the type ahead function in the Playlist browser. For example, I have a list of 600+ artists and I am located at the top of the list and I start typing the name of the artist. Visually the focus does move, but voice over does not verbalise the item it lands on. This use to work fine in the previous version of Itunes. Thoughts? I have plaied with the cursor tracking, but no joy. Thanks in advance! Nik --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "MacVisionaries" group.

Re: looking for world clock that work with vo?
Hi Maurice, Try the WorldTimes app from: http://www.versiontracker.com/dyn/moreinfo/macosx/28443 VO-Right Arrow to read off the entries, which will be preceded by buttons to remove the entry or add a city. You'll need to use VO-H to read the button labels. The list of times will start off with your current location and Seattle, Washington, so on the first line press (VO-Space) the button to add a city, then in the dialog window VO- Right Arrow to the region table, interact, and select "Asia", stop interacting and VO-Right arrow to the location table, interact, and type "t o" for Tokyo, then stop interacting. Press return, then VO- Right arrow read off the entry for your current location and its time. Continue to the VO-Right arrow to read the entries for Tokyo and its time. VO-Right arrow to the line for Seattle and VO-Space on the "remove Seattle" button. Command W to close the window. This could be better -- it would be nice if you didn't have to arrow over to read each city and time -- but it works. There may be something else better, like a Dashboard widget, but this came up in a quick Google search.

Re: Optical character recognition for iPhone
Good afternoon all: I'm hoping that apps like the Raspberry reader will bring diversity of functionality to the Iphone. I'd love to see a Money Identifyer, a color identifier, and otherapps well with in the range of possibility for this device. If all these are fairly priced, it would further the justification for purchase, improve people's lives, without putting us all in hock. I don't think it fair for these programs to be sold well over the cost of such ephemeral devices. Two years of use is based on a contract, the devices of this kind are often obsolete, and we're thengoing deeper into pockets than others to stay on equal footing. Perhapse the Iphone 3gs, or it's next of kin, will provide an environment for a good proverbial "Swiss army Knife" for our essential needs. I salute those who are working on these apps.

question about the trackpad/touch screen?
hey guys, I'm sending this to both list cuz it applies to both. I'm just curious. since there's the trackpad in snowleopard and the touch screen on the iphone, wouldn't they both get activated accidently? my mom had a touch screen phone once and she traded it in for a blackberry cuz she couldn't stand the touch screen. everytime she talked on it, she kept accidently pressing buttons on the phone and she kept ending her calls. would this be an issue with the iphone? or is there a way to disable the touch screen when youre actually in a call? also, it would be the same on the mac. since you can now control voiceover with the trackpad, wouldn't you accidently control things with your wrists while you're typing? or is the trackpad so much out of the way that you wouldn't hit it while you were typing? --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "MacVisionaries" group.

Re: question about the trackpad/touch screen?
My friends i phones touch screen gets disabled when he's making a call but its jail broken so i'm not sure how this works when one uses the propper o.s. As far as the touchpad on laptops goes, i'm guessing that it would be no different to me using a macook running leopard; at the moment, i'm typing and my fingers or arms aren't anywhere near the touchpad.

Re: Podcast about VO in Snow Leopard
I agree. it may be illegal, but whatever...the OS is coming out in a few months anyway, why can't we have a lil preview? and there were bugs in this podcast that will be fixed by the time the real deal is out I'm sure.

Re: question about the trackpad/touch screen?
yeah, that's true, I don't think my mac will be able to use the trackpad cuz it's older and just has the regular mouse pad and I was lead to believe that the trackpad is different and only comes on the new aluminum macbooks? so I might have to miss out on that bit of fun unless you can do it with a regular mouse pad lol. I don't wanna clog up this list with IPhone stuff but I hope the regular IPhones will disable the touchscreen when in a call too, cuz I can see that getting really annoying!!

ICE Mobile to Preview iPhone Brailler
Hi, Did you ever think that you would see the day, pardon the pun, that iPhone would have a Braille transcribing App. Well the day is fast approaching. Mid-August 2009, a small open cast of developers working out of VIPBC headquarters in Canada are hard at work creating the world's first mobile Braille Production Unit. Small and light, the technologies behind Braille Production on the iPhone are standard and globally recognized. Supporting over 15 languages in its Braille tables, iPhone Brailler aims to support every language supported on the iPHone's revelutionary OS. Since iPhone Brailler is going to be released mid to late September, the ICE Mobile team has scheduled a preview of the software for mid August of 2009. iPhone Brailler will make use of the iPhone's built-in camera to achieve OCR and many other open technologies to drive it's computing power. iPhone Brailler is a great companion to Braille Server 9.09, which is cheduled for release the same day. Happy Brailing, Alex, --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "MacVisionaries" group.

Re: Optical character recognition for iPhone
It's extremely doubtful that an application like this would be very useful on the latest iPhone 3gs model since it's camera isn't yet powerful enough.

Re: Optical character recognition for iPhone
Good evening, I did give that some thought. To the best of my knowledge the camera on the iPhone is 3 megapixel whereas the camera on the KNFB Reader (comparable device) is 5 megapixel.

Re: Optical character recognition for iPhone
Developers of hardware have access to the port on the iPhone 3GS I believe and therefore isn't it possible that someone could develop an extension for the camera that offers a better camera attachment?

Re: Optical character recognition for iPhone
For me, the make or break of Iphone 3G S Tech is going to be that I don't have to drag tons of peripherals around with me. I mean, I've already got Trekker's PDA, the bluetooth receiver and a speaker attached by a big ugly black cord. While I look good in black and a "Utility harness," like batman or some cyber ninja, I think I'm about maxed out on little boxes I want strewn about my person. The Iphone 3GS might replace some of those, especially if working GPS ever happens that's comparable to Trekker (this is a tall order, IMHO), but Iphone, external camera, external headset, microphone, external GPS receiver... Unless someone designs a fashionable garment in which all of these things conceal without spoiling the line or the fit, I'm gonna be discouraged if I have to buy lots of peripherals.

Re: Optical character recognition for iPhone
Possible… but why would you want to carry an attachment. Best to wait a couple years maybe even next summer. Rest assured that that camera on the iPhone will get stronger and stronger and no doubt then someone will be working on an OCR solution for it.

Apple has been notified, and I'll be closing this topic, so I'd encourage you all to simply leave off with it in short order. Those who insist on continuing this thread will simply be banned. (no questions asked) this list is NOT a place for illegal activity and this will ABSOLUTELY not be tolerated. Thanks very much for your consideration / cooperation.

Re: Optical character recognition for iPhone
Hi Cara, I expect people are looking at the KNFB Reader specs. The folks at KNFB Reading Technology determined (and I don't know their methodologies) that they couldn't get a consistently good enough image with a widely enough varying set of natural conditions unless they used the 5 MP camera with a xenon flash, and that polarizers stuck on the lenses helped further sharpen the image for OCR. I couldn't say what this does for other kinds of pictures, though. At any rate, the LED flash in most phones I think they said, didn't provide enough light, again consistently in a widely varying set of natural circumstances. I expect that a 3 MP camera, given the right lighting conditions, aim, focus, etc. would be fine, but I also expect these things would also be somewhat more fiddly to deal with to get a good enough image to OCR. Of course, I'd love to be wrong. I'm personally very excited about the possibilities the new iPhone 3GS opens up; I'll be even more excited when one can get an unlocked one and isn't shackled to AT&T until doomsday. --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "MacVisionaries" group.

Help Desk Podcast, anyone
Hi, List: I was wondering if anyone would like to do live demos of Help Desk and capture them as a preview of the applications. Audio comments are also welcome. Video and Audio formats are permitted and will assist in creating an User-based podcast. If anyone would like to put together the entire podcast, they are more than welcome to. Our organization wants to keep our distance from the project, because our influance may damage the effect of the podcast. I remember, I believe it was Scott saying that he would like to do a podcast.

Re: New IPhone 3GS list regarding accessibility
Simon, my apologies for the delay in replying. I just wanted to say thank you for this note. In future, to you and the list, be assured that I'll be very careful in suggesting list policy changes or directing topics away from this list very clearly. So there should be no confusion like what just happened. IPhone discussion is completely welcome here and for those who'd like a more specific IPHone group, VIPhone is there… I think this is just a case that we're all a bit on-edge due to the contention over the IPhone. It's easy for people's emotions to run a bit high when there's such disagreement happening on one hand, yet also such elation happening as well… Good dialoguing in these sorts of situations can really be the key to helping us communicate much more smoothly.

Re: Optical character recognition for iPhone
Good evening Cara, You are correct in saying that 3MP is enough resolution for OCR. In fact, at KNFBReading technology, and other such camera based OCR companies, we've determined that 3MP is probably the minimal resolution necessary for accurate text OCR. The issues that KNFBReading technology have had to deal with is that of focuss, lighting conditions, camera control, and processing speed. As you may guess, when lighting is concerned, there are a number of new variables that arise. All this to say that we are and have been looking at the capabilities of the iPhone and other devices on the market to determine their potential.

I really would like to know… Thanks so much and have a lovely evening!… Smiles, Cara :) --- Follow me on Twitter! https://twitter.com/ModelCara View my Online Portfolio at: http://www.onemodelplace.com/CaraQuinn On Jun 14, 2009, at 1:11 PM, Justin Harford wrote: It's extremely doubtful that an application like this would be very useful on the latest iPhone 3gs model since it's camera isn't yet powerful enough. But perhaps the focus feature could help it make up for its low amount of pixels?
