a helping hand for developers in assessing their accessibility
Hi everyone,, I've looked into the accessibility tools available in xcode, and there's an intersting one which is the accessibility verifier which tests accessibility defaults with the standard apple api and breaks down every element of a given application, checks whether ax atrributes have been placed and what errors or warnings come out of each. For instance, i have tried opening an inaccessible synth called the swarmatron and it warns of a lack of a focus on the main window, looking down into it, i see all standard close minimize etc windows have ax attributes and the main window has none. Maybe digging deeper into the structures of more accessible applications, one can actually provide the classes used by the standard api and send a schematic view with relevant classes to be inputted to the developers, screenshots included? I have recently been working with a drum synth developer in rendering his application totally accessible and we are going through the initial steps of testing custom accessibility for image maps for example, and he acknowledged the fact that his own hierarchy of elements is much clearer with accessibility plugged in as it allows for a very concise view of his pplication, cross links and class hierarchies. Maybe this is something to look into further and perhaps crowd source some form of reference material beyond what apple offers to give a boost to some of the more reticent developers? I am talking mainly about sound application devvers whose interfaces are commonly image maps with custom elements, however them being coded in standard apple fashion. The instance of the drum synth devver being able to quicly make custom elements, and i echo his words adding accessibility is not a difficult task nor is it a slow process means that provided a concise explanation or mini-manual of the concepts of accessibility, with a section on the actual advantages of having this structure added to one application, meaning elegant universal code, this might break some grounds in multiplying or standardizing accessibility on the mac ecosystem.

Re: a helping hand for developers in assessing their accessibility
Hi, I'm not sure i understood everything in your mail, but i'm thinking of 2 apps that could use this sort of help, one of which you are familiar with and the other i've mentioned before here on the list. The familiar one i thought of was Algoriddims DJay for the Mac. What's needed there is a way to quickly get at and manipulate the effects, such as echo, reverb etc. As it is now you can turn those effects on, but you can't do anything about the parameters of the effects. Also the microphone part of the app should need some help on the way i would think. The other app i was talking about is Reaper from http://www.reaper.fm, which has basic accessibility built-in in that dialogs, menus and so on are working but time, tools from the toolbars and track numbers and so on aren't visible. /Krister 8 mar 2011 kl. 10.53 skrev Yuma Decaux: Hi everyone,, I've looked into the accessibility tools available in xcode, and there's an intersting one which is the accessibility verifier which tests accessibility defaults with the standard apple api and breaks down every element of a given application, checks whether ax atrributes have been placed and what errors or warnings come out of each.

Re: a helping hand for developers in assessing their accessibility
This is a very positive step towards accessibility. What I like about this is that devs can receive more useful feedback than, Dear developer, your program isn't accessible with Voiceover. Fix it. If this can be brought to light at something like the WWDC, I think huge strides can be made for making this a part of the consciousness of a developer. What I'd love to see is a breakdown of Scratch Live by Serato. Thanks for posting this. Kevin -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups MacVisionaries group.

Re: help with time machine, please?
Hi Ricardo, No, nothing is being left out of the backup. Someone on MacVisionaries said that Time Machine only backs up items that have been changed, so I guess that makes sense.

Re: a helping hand for developers in assessing their accessibility
Hello Yuma, Just to clarify -- Are you saying that if we have the xcode tools on our Mac we can plug any App from the App Store into the Accessibility Verifier and get this sort of report? I would have thought this would only work with the raw code and not with compiled Apps as purchased from the App Store. If this is indeed possible, this will be a great addition to the information we can submit to Developers when discussing the accessibility of their Apps. Everybody with a Mac has access to the IOS developer tools by registering as an Apple Developer and purchasing the IOS Development kit, which is currently US $99.00.

Re: a helping hand for developers in assessing their accessibility

I definetely won't be making it there this year nor in the years to come as i got so much to do, but any ADV memebers out there care to help out? I can get my team to make the flyer, 3D and all, to really grab their attention. Hit me off list if you're one of those lucky ones who will attend wwdc.

Also for 4G iPod Touch (was Re: Looktel Money Reader for iPhone)
Hi, Thanks, Marlaina, for posting on Macvisionaries, since the discussion has been going on over on the viphone list. Here's a quick summary, and you can also check the AppleVis site, where a full description and links to both the iTunes Store and the LookTel support web site are posted. Here is a link to this app: LookTel Money Reader ($1.99) by IPPLEX: http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/looktel-money-reader/id417476558?mt=8 Currently available for iPhone (4, 3GS) and iPod Touch (4th Generation). This only works for US currency -- trying Canadian or other currency bills yields no announcements. On the other hand, I suspect that optimizing for US currency allowed them to make this app really fast and responsive. It will identify crumpled bills, folded bills, and even just parts of bills accurately. As Marlaina stated, this is the fastest and easiest to use app that I've found for currency identification, and better than oMoby for this purpose. It works in real time, and responds without having to tap controls, or fiddle with where you've placed the camera. On the iPhone 4, if there's not sufficient light, it will turn the flash on without any intervention required by the user. (You'll be able to feel the extra heat and know that the flash came on -- try using the iPhone camera on bills under a bed spread if you want to test this out!). HTH.

Re: Looktel Money Reader for iPhone
Hi Sarah, I tried out this app. It's really fast on an iPhone 4. My guess is that it works this fast because it's optimized for U.S. currency only. If the camera stays on, it can process a series of images taken at slightly different positions to reconstruct the full image of the bill. Further, if this is U.S. currency, you can take advantage of similarity of the bill structure that has proved a problem for other programs to do this in two passes: one to decide whether this is U.S. money (if not, don't try to run the program), if so, concentrate on identifying the parts of the bill that are distinct enough to identify the currency uniquely. This could be a corner that has the denomination amount, the picture of the president in the front center (Washington for $1, Lincoln for $5, etc.) or the image on the back center of the same bill (sorry, don't know what these are off the bat). There's a Chinese character OCR program for the iPhone (not accessible, alas!) that's running the same way -- the camera has to be on continuously for a bit to get a match. Looktel really does run fast. At least on an iPhone 4. I can't speak for the other options, but this app is certainly working for the iPhone 3GS. It is definitely faster and easier to use than oMoby. (On that note, I once had a result that identified a $1 bill that was very creased with the amount, but also came up with Google links for tired money from oMoby.) Try it yourself, and see what you think. I'd say this program is worth it. I'd like to hear feedback from folks who have the fourth generation iPod Touch, though, or others who can compare the results from iPhone 3GS, iPhone 4, and 4th generation iPod Touch.

Re: Looktel Money Reader for iPhone
I guess. I'm someine who remains scheptibal but maybe I might give it a try. I only have a dollar on me at present, I think? if I didn't spend it lol! but if this works I might sell my ibil or something.

Re: a helping hand for developers in assessing their accessibility
Yuma, Are the tools provided on the DVD (and updated via software date) the same or can you get additional tools. ALso just to clarify, if I have an app that has issues, can I use this inspector to look at the controls etc. and provide the developer feedback? There is a specific reason for the specific question. :) I'm working with a developer and want to try and provide more than just feedback and want to make sure I can provide as much information as possible including screen shots as appropriate. Any advice/input would be appreciated. Thanks, -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups MacVisionaries group.

Re: a helping hand for developers in assessing their accessibility
Scott, The developer tools are all included in the DVD if my memory serves me right, they are part of the xcode bundle unless those accessibility tools have been recently added with the latest version. If the app uses a standard coco framework, the elements are broken down with information on whether a specific accessibility class has been plugged or not, i haven't looked too far into it but it shows all of your open applications so its good to close them all except the one you want to investigate. There is also the accessibility inspector but i'm not sure how to work it out yet. I believe it locks unto an element on a selected application and when you hit command f7 the relevant information displays in the empty text box of the dev tool. There are however no help files that come with the inspector On the other hand, here is an excerpt in the accesibility verifier's help document: Accessibility Verifier is a tool to help ensure your application will work well with the built-in accessibility features of Mac OS X. This tool provides runtime checking of an application's menus, windows, controls, and other UI elements, and reports information about accessibility data and attributes associated with those elements. Hope this helps Yuma -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups MacVisionaries group. To post to this group, send email to macvisionaries@googlegroups.com.

Re: Macbook Pro VS. Macbook Air.

I believe it locks unto an element on a selected application and when you hit command f7 the relevant information displays in the empty text box of the dev tool.

Re: Address Book Help
Hi Marlaina, Address Book, just like apps like FInder, iTunes, etc. haw different view modes. Which mode are you using? Brett's instructions assume that you are in the default viewing mode (Command-1 Card and Columns). In this mode, which is like Column view mode in Finder, there's a table for Groups, then a table for Names, and finally a Card for the entries of a particular name selected from the Names table. When Brett tells you to VO-Right twice, he's telling you to navigate to the Card entry. You can also change the view (Command-2) so that only the card is displayed. In this mode you can navigate through to the next or previous card with Command-Right Bracket or Command-Left Bracket similar to the shortcuts that you use for your Safari Web browser (to move to next or previous page). If you have interacted with the Names table then you will, indeed, be taken to the next name in the list when you VO-RIght arrow. If you stop interacting with this table, your VO-Right will move you first past the vertical splitter and then to the card entry for the person whose name you have selected. Incidentally, since you are using a MacBook Air, you can use the TrackPad Commander gestures to navigate. Flick right (or left) on the track pad, and do a two finger flick right on the TrackPad to interact, or a two finger flick left to on the TrackPad to stop interacting. The card for an individual will only show fields you have entered, If you want to edit the card, you will have to stop interacting with it (VO-Shift-Up arrow or two finger flick left on the TrackPad), then VO-Down arrow (or flick down with the TrackPad) to the Edit Button, and VO-Space (or Double tap on the Trackpad) to bring up edit controls. The basic card template is defined in your Address Book preferences (Command-Comma to bring these up) under Templates. HTH.

App Store Question
Hi All, I tried downloading a couple of the free apps off of the Apple App Store. I entered my email and password, as I needed to verify my account. When I clicked the billing button, I was back at the previous page, except I was signed in. How exactly do I retrieve the apps? Sorry for the lame questions. LOL.

On Mar 8, 2011, at 11:54 AM, Esther wrote: Hi Sarah, I tried out this app. It's really fast on an iPhone 4. My guess is that it works this fast because it's optimized for U.S. currency only. If the camera stays on, it can process a series of images taken at slightly different positions to reconstruct the full image of the bill. Further, if this is U.S. currency, you can take advantage of similarity of the bill structure that has proved a problem for other programs to do this in two passes: one to decide whether this is U.S. money (if not, don't try to run the program), if so, concentrate on identifying the parts of the bill that are distinct enough to identify the currency uniquely. This could be a corner that has the denomination amount, the picture of the president in the front center (Washington for $1, Lincoln for $5, etc.) or the image on the back center of the same bill (sorry, don't know what these are off the bat). There's a Chinese character OCR program for the iPhone (not accessible, alas!) that's running the same way -- the camera has to be on continuously for a bit to get a match. Looktel really does run fast. At least on an iPhone 4. I can't speak for the other options, but this app is certainly working for the iPhone 3GS. It is definitely faster and easier to use than oMoby. (On that note, I once had a result that identified a $1 bill that was very creased with the amount, but also came up with Google links for tired money from oMoby.) Try it yourself, and see what you think. I'd say this program is worth it. I'd like to hear feedback from folks who have the fourth generation iPod Touch, though, or others who can compare the results from iPhone 3GS, iPhone 4, and 4th generation iPod Touch.

Re: App Store Question
Hi Ezzy: When you are again signed in, you can look either with arrows, item chooser or a find command for buy. When you find it, click and it should ask if you're sure you want to buy that app. When you confirm, it should start automatically to download. I did this with an app the other day, and since I was unsure it had started downloading, I hit buy again, knowing it was a free one. It simply confirmed that I had the app already. Hope this helps some. Carolyn On Mar 8, 2011, at 9:40 PM, Ezzy Bueno wrote: Hi All, I tried downloading a couple of the free apps off of the Apple App Store.

Re: Accessibility of Cidia?
Thanks guys. Yeah Rose, I saw your article on the subject, but I just assumed that Cyder 2 was only for windows. Never the less, I'll give it a look.
