writing accents in LaTeX
Hi all
Just felt like posting this. it is possible to easily write LaTeX
documents in Spanish and other languages where accents, tildes and
other things are used. I know for Spanish that to do this, you type
in the preamble
\usepackage[spanish]{babel}
\uselanguage{spanish}
\usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}
Then yu must save your document in a utf8 encoding and then you can
have your accents show up in your document output without having to do
code. Much better if you want to spellcheck and listen to the docs
read out to you with the beautiful infovox ivox voices.
Regards
Justin Harford

SnowLeopard and Eclipse
Hi, I just upgraded my work Macbook to SnowLeopard and discovered a bit of a problem with the Eclipse IDE (www.eclipse.org). I should start of by saying that I am using the Carbon build because I find the Cocoa build a bit unresponsive with VoiceOver. A good example of this is when using the Cocoa version, try creating a new Java class, the page that appears asking for the package, class name, checkboxes for abstract and final, etc, as you tab around the page there is a definite delay between pressing tab and VoiceOver announcing where you have landed. I'm not entirely sure of the cause of this, but I have heard reports of the screen taking a while to redraw so maybe this is a non visual symptom of the same problem. So back to the carbon build, I unpacked the latest Eclipse Classic 3.5 on a fresh install of SnowLeopard 10.6.1 and launched it. I hit control + option + m to bring up the menu bar and was met with a bleep. It appears that this standard keyboard shortcut cannot be used to reach the menu bar in Eclipse, even though this works with the exact same version of Eclipse on Leopard 10.5.8. I also tried this on earlier developer builds of SnowLeopard with no problem, so this is a recent issue. Before I go ahead and file a bug with Apple, I was wondering if anyone has encountered this same issue. Any feedback would be appreciated.

SnowLeopard and the Dock
Hi, A feature that I frequently used in Leopard seems to no longer be available in SnowLeopard. I like to put commonly used applications in the Dock for quick access, for me this means things like Adium, Terminal and VMWare Fusion. In Leopard after launching an app I used to be able to down-arrow on it's dock item and select Keep in Dock or Open at Logon, however I no longer seem to be able to do this. I have noticed for pre-existing Dock items such as Photo Booth I can up-arrow on them and under options I can select Remove from Dock, however up-arrow doesn't seem to do anything on newly opened applications. Has anyone found a work around for this yet? Thanks for any suggestions.

Re: SnowLeopard and the Dock
Hello, Under Snow Leopard in the Dock, once you land on the icon of the application you wish to change features for, press vo+shift+m and the menu will open for you. You will hear a characteristic sound. The menu has somewhat changed in that you get open submenu and then you need to expand it with arrow key and there you have yur usual options.

Requesting help with creating a new group in Address Book with SL
Hello, I'm trying to create a new group in my address book for the first time using Snow Leopard. I can't seem to figure it out. When I select create new group, a group titled Unknown group appears in the groups table. I have selected rename group from the edit menu, but nothing seems to happen. I've hit enter and interacted with the Unknown group, but I can't change the name like a file or folder. In leopard, when creating a new group, a dialogue appeared with a edit box for the name along with an OK button. The funny thing is that It's now simple as can be to create a smart group in the address book. The problem here is that the smart groups aren't syncing to my iPhone with Mobile Me. I'm hoping someone can give this a try and point me in the correct direction Thanks, Brett --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups MacVisionaries group.

Using voice over during a call on iphone.
Hi all. I have looked around the webb but can't find answer to my ipone question. I have used the iphone for a couple of days and so far no problem. But a question. How do I activate voice over during a call? I red somewhere that you can flick two fingers upwards to get v o speaking but that didn't work. I need v o during calls so I can navigate the phone keypad so I for example can use tone controled systems. Any Idea? And when I'm at the keybord, does anyone know of a good skin or case to use with the Iphone? I'm afraid dropping it so I want some skin or case that makes it little more easy to hold.

RE: Using voice over during a call on iphone.
Hi Tony, Re using Vo while on a call: 1. Hold the phone away from you to activate speaker phone. 2. Two finger flick up to get VO speaking. 3. While VO is speaking, press the volume switch up untill you have the VO voice volume where you want it. You will then be able to press the keypad button to actifvate the keypad. If you have the latest upgrade on your phone, VO will remember the volume, and you will only have to do this once.

Re: question about unread in status column in mail
Thanks. I understand what you are saying about the preview pane and messages being marked as read. However, I'm still confused a little about how to get voiceover to let me know if a message is read or unread. I do not have mouse cursor following the voiceover cursor. However, voiceover continues to say blank and I know there is a graphic or symbol that indicates the mail is unread. I know this from sighted help and also zooming the voiceover cursor as large as I can get it. I do not like to rely on my limitted vision though as it is very time consuming and sometimes I still need sighted help and I prefer to do it on my own. :) I hope what I'm saying makes sense. :) Thanks for any help or thoughts, Christina On Sep 19, 2009, at 11:54 AM, Barry Hadder wrote: Hello again, If the preview pain is on, the message is marked as read when you move focus over it.

Re: sluggish composng of mail
Thanks, that command worked to turn zoom off. I feel your frustration. It is quite frustrating to feel like I'm typing in mud or in slow motion. If I type to quickly for the computer than letters are skipped. It's also frustrating when backspacing to delete characters that it feels so slow. It's quite weird.

I will still often need sighted help for that. Is there a key combination to turn zoom on and off? I know the key combination to zoom in and out but not to actually turn zoom off.

It's weird because I have this sensation as though I'm typing in mud. This doesn't always occur while typing a new message. It definitely happens every time I reply to a message. It is very frustrating. Has anyone else experienced this or does anyone have any ideas as to why this has been happening since I upgraded to SL? I love my mac and SL so I don't want to sound as though I'm complaining. :) Thanks so very much, Christina Egun On, Lagunak!

RE: Using voice over during a call on iphone.
Hi Tony, Once you get the voice volume adjusted, you only have to move the phone away when you want to do something on the screen. The problem is that when the phone is next to your face, the screen becomes inactive. If you think about it, you'll se the logic here. If the screen were active while you were holding the phone next to your face, you could end up launching all kinds of stuff while you were on the call!

Hold the phone away from you to activate speaker phone. 2. Two finger flick up to get VO speaking. 3. While VO is speaking, press the volume switch up untill you have the VO voice volume where you want it. You will then be able to press the keypad button to actifvate the keypad. If you have the latest upgrade on your phone, VO will remember the volume, and you will only have to do this once.

Hi all. I have looked around the webb but can't find answer to my ipone question. I have used the iphone for a couple of days and so far no problem. But a question. How do I activate voice over during a call? I red somewhere that you can flick two fingers upwards to get v o speaking but that didn't work. I need v o during calls so I can navigate the phone keypad so I for example can use tone controled systems. Any Idea? And when I'm at the keybord, does anyone know of a good skin or case to use with the Iphone? I'm afraid dropping it so I want some skin or case that makes it little more easy to hold.

You can use the headset, that's what I do.

Re: Looking for an Easy-To-Use Commercial DVD Ripper for Snow Leopard
I recommend DVD Remaster. Here is a link to take a look. http://www.metakine.com/ Brett On Sep 19, 2009, at 10:07 AM, M.

In the best case scenario, I would launch the program, insert the DVD, select what type of output such as .mp4, iPhone, etc, select start, and that's it. The application does not have to be free. I simply want a simple app and not one in which I have to become a video editor. Oh, as many of my DVDs contain television episodes, I need an app that will allow me to manually select which episodes to rip. I have such an app on my Windows computer but it is not Jaws accessible and my PC is significantly slower than my Mac. I would appreciate any help on this.

I don't like Fring: Any other accessible skype clients for Iphone?
Hi all, I figured out why my Ipod touch is not going to sleep. Apparently, when I turn Fring notifications on, it interferes with the devices ability to remain sleeping. The down side of this, is that I do not get sounds for incoming messages, calls, etc. Are there any other accessible ways in which to use skype, AIM, etc. on the Ipod?

VO on Nano: Can it Read the menus also?
I've got Vo on the new 5th gen nano working ok but it only reads what's currently playing. In the prefs for this nano I have checked Use VoiceOver and use system Speech. It won't let me check use menus unless I turn the Use VoiceOver off. What am I doing wrong? I'd like it to read both menus, and what's playing, and whatever else may be possible. TIA.

Re: VO on Nano: Can it Read the menus also?
Hi, I don't have the new Nano, but the manual says if VoiceOver is on, you can check Enable Spoken Menus. Those menus use your system voice.

Re: VO on Nano: Can it Read the menus also?
Ok. But what's boggling me is that when I check Enable VoiceOver, the Speak Menu option gets dimmed. I am able to tell it to use system Voices.
