Re: Libra Office
Hi, I have tried Libre Office and it's got about the same sowstoppers as Openoffice, that is wordprocessing, every line is presented as a different edit box, making it hard to read continuously and you can't as far as i know select long pieces of text.

Re: Say Goodbye to Skype, Microsoft just bought it for 8.5 billion
Mark, I base this assumption upon past history of dealing with Microsoft for Mac products. When I purchased this MacBook, I, not knowing any better, also purchased Microsoft Office for Mac. The install button looked like it was there to VoiceOVer, and you could press on it and it would say install, dimmed. However, there was a little icon that you had to click on with your mouse, which was the actual install button. This is where I base my assumption. Once someone sighted clicked on the install icon, and got MS Office installed, the program crashed whenever I pressed command-O to open up any of the tools in the suite. Totally useless, and inaccessible. On May 10, 2011, at 11:29 AM, Mark BurningHawk Baxter wrote: Upon what, other than past history, of course, are you basing that assumption?

Re: Say Goodbye to Skype, Microsoft just bought it for 8.5 billion
Hi All, Yes, while MS's buying Skype did come out of left field for almost everybody, I tend to believe that at least in the short term we won't see much in the way of degraded accessibility. Skype's codebase has been worked on by the company for years, and I have trouble imagining the new management will completely toss out all that effort. Longer term, perhaps, the outlook is less than ideal, but I still don't see any really drastic changes in the pipeline. Call me an optimist, but I'm willing to give MS the benefit of the doubt in this case and avoid predicting doom when it might not be certain. Best, Zack.

Re: Say Goodbye to Skype, Microsoft just bought it for 8.5 billion
I hope you're right. Personally, after narrator and the complete lack of accessibility in Windows Phone 7, I think it is obvious that ms cares not at all for accessibility. Therefore, I think the next major upgrade to Skype will introduce features that no one really needs, as ms often seems to do, and will at least break some accessibility. Things, I think, will go downhill from there.

Re: Say Goodbye to Skype, Microsoft just bought it for 8.5 billion
I agree, look at the Bing app for the iPhone for example, totally accessible. I think the problem with Microsoft is based on their old coding, such as office for example which is coded using C++ and contains millions of lines of code. They have no excuse not to add accessibility to new products. And yes we know they did not add this to Windows Mobile 7, but they did not add cut and paste either and Apple did not add accessibility until version 3. Here's hoping anyway.

Re: Say Goodbye to Skype, Microsoft just bought it for 8.5 billion
Although Microsoft has not shown any interest in accessibility for their office suite on the Mac, I would be very surprised if they made any significant changes and to include actively ditching accessibility for Mac users. Now if they did, I think they would face a substantial backlash. Of course one hopes that Microsoft would not be that foolish.

Re: Say Goodbye to Skype, Microsoft just bought it for 8.5 billion
I agree with the observation that this might not have an immediate impact, but it is the long term that is the problem. Even beyond their poor accessibility record, let's face it. Over the last 10 years, most of what Microsoft touches turns to crap. They have a unique knack of simply ruining products. Until the current leadership is finally cast off, I don't foresee this changing. Is it a surprise that Ford stopped advertising the fact that their voice activation system in their cars is made by Microsoft. Does it astound anyone that Windows Phone 7 is not selling well at all?

Hello Gang, For the past week or so I have been working with iMovie on my Mac and my iPhone 4. Strangely enough, I have had more success with it on my iPhone. For whatever reason, some aspects of the program do not seem to work when VoiceOver is engaged on the Mac. This is purely a supposition on my part. Even though I have brailled out the list of shortcut keys, things like muting a clip don't seem to work. I am hoping there is someone else on this list who has some experience with iMovie for I could certainly use some advice. All replies welcomed either on or off list.

Re: Say Goodbye to Skype, Microsoft just bought it for 8.5 billion
Hi Joe, I just got my new Mac last Thursday and am still in the process of learning how to use it. On a hunch, I didn't buy Microsoft Office for Mac. Reading what you say here about it, I'm very glad I made that choice. Somehow it doesn't surprise me at all that it isn't accessible. I hope that Microsoft won't do to Skype what they did to hotmail shortly after purchasing it... Just in case, maybe we better all find another VOIP to use.

Re: prismo on the IPhone
Hi Erik, On the iPhone 4 camera, provided the lighting conditions are good, you'll hear VoiceOver say auto focus as you hold your iPhone at various distances above a page with printed text. You can try this with the regular camera app without taking a picture or trying to line up the camera with the text. The autofocus mechanism takes a few seconds to make adjustments. Now that I know how the auto focus works, if I've checked lighting with the Light Detector app, I can turn on even the regular camera app and lift the iPhone to various distances away from a letter or page with text and wait for VoiceOver to announce auto focus. So, without even trying to hold the iPhone flat or aligned with text, if I lift the device, say 4 inches above the page and wait, VoiceOver will say auto focus. Then if I lift the iPhone up another distance, say 2 or 3 inches higher and wait, VoiceOver will again say auto focus after a brief pause. I can continue to move my hand, holding the iPhone camera, up and down to various heights above the printed page, and wait for VoiceOver to say auto focus. This works, for example, anywhere over a distance of a few inches to about 3 feet or more, provided there is sufficient light.What probably limits how close I can get to the paper and still hear auto focus is when the iPhone gets so close to the page that it blocks light from reaching it (e.g., when it on top of the page with no distance between camera and page, there is also no light that can travel through the iPhone to illuminate the page). In the Prizmo app, the iPhone 4G will first vibrate when I double tap the Camera button to take a picture. Then, I'll hear auto focus. At that point I can say take picture. The three buttons along the top of the screen are Flash, automatic, an unlabeled button, and Camera Chooser, backfacing. The unlabeled button is the one that toggles on and off the ability to take pictures with spoken commands. If your app did not respond when you say Take Picture, try double tapping that button. If the iPhone 4 vibrates immediately after you double tap that unlabeled button to the left of the Camera Chooser button in the top left corner, you've just turned on the ability to have the camera take a picture when you say Take Picture. Note that if you did not originally configure the Settings for the Prizmo app to turn on the Speech Control switch for capturing images you will not find an unlabeled button on this screen; there will simply be two buttons and not three. As it is, if, from the main Prizmo screen, you double tapped the Settings button in the top right corner, then flicked right to General Settings and double tapped, then flicked right to the two options under Capture: 1) Alignment Grid (set switch to off) and 2) Speech Control (set switch to on), the third button will be present, and can give you access to taking the picture on voice command. However, as I noted, this feature can be toggled off and on, even when you have set the Speech Control switch to on in your settings. The way you know that it is toggled on, and speech command will be accepted to take a picture is that your iPhone 4 will vibrate when you are on the Camera screen. If it does not vibrate, and does not respond to your spoken Take Picture instruction, then find the unlabeled button (e.g., touch the top right corner to find the Camera Chooser button then flick left) and double tap. Your iPhone 4 should now vibrate and respond to Take Picture. Normally, the button is left active, so you never have to double tap anything else after you've configured your settings. However, FYI, this is where the speech control is located. And if you don't have Speech Control turned on in your local app Settings beforehand, you won't find this button at the top of the camera screen. Whether or not you then hear Auto focus announced depends on things like whether there is sufficient light, and whether you have held the iPhone steady for long enough to get an auto focus (usually just a few seconds if light conditions are OK, and you aren't holding the iPhone so close to the page that the iPhone itself is blocking light from getting to the page). Apologies if this is too much information, but I've found that the first time people try to use a new app or feature, there are a lot of questions, and there are also a surprising number of ways to wind up without having the correct settings and with no way to tell how to recover. (Usually, if they're confused, they don't do a good job of describing the problem, since they are using the app for the first time.) I found it useful to be able to separate all these functions and understand how the camera worked so I could figure out how to get the best results with the app. For example, you can use the Light Detector app not only to check that there is enough light to try to scan, but also to get a feeling for the optimal
The userinterface in Skype 5
Hi! I've heard a few people mentioning this, but what was or is the issue with the interface of Skype 5? I've heard about some bugs which users have found. But to me the interface is pretty easy to figure out and use. Actually (as far as I understand it) the interfaces in Windows and the Mac version of Skype is almost the same. Interestingly enough the way VOiceover shows the interface makes more cense to me than the same interface in Windows does...

Hi Thomas, I agree, I've no issues at all with the UI of Skype 5. I think the sighted people primarily complain because it doesn't look graphically appealing, something which I don't ever notice.

She merely referred people back to the main web site of the Imap Weather Radio app for more information -- that's the source of her claim that the app would be offered free for a single day on Thursday, May 19. Thanks, Sarai, for the information. Cheers, Esther On May 10, 2011, at 9:08 PM, Sarai Bucciarelli bucc7...@bellsouth.net wrote: All: On Thu. May 19, iMap weather radio will be free for a day.

navigating gmail's website?
ok, I just spent the last hour trying to navigate gmail's mail pane without finding the message headers frame. does anyone have any useful tricks for navigating the gmail website more effectively? My biggest problem is that my frustration level climbs, my ability to navigate a website becomes increasingly impaired. it gets to the point that I have to walk away from the machine after a short period of time or I might pound the keyboard into bits. I ran into the same problem on youtube's message response page. also, does anyone know how to increase the volume on the video's on youtube? my volume on any video is set so low that even if I turn up my system volume, its not loud enough to hear. -Eric -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups MacVisionaries group.

Re: Imap Weather Radio Free For A Day
Hi, Actually, the a Google search showed that the Imap Weather Radio developers plan to offer app free to the first 100,000 downloaders on May 19th. Here's an excerpt from the Alabama Weather Blog site: begin quote Great news… the makers of the iMap WeatherRadio iPhone app have decided to make it free for one day, Thursday, May 19. The app is normally $9.99… and ABC 33/40 is a partner. Here is their news release this evening… The tragic events caused by tornadoes this month in Alabama and the South have shown again the need for enhanced and additional approaches to nationwide alerting of tornado and severe weather outbreaks. With advanced warnings on smartphones using Location-Based Services, people that are in harm’s way can be alerted even if they are not sitting in front of a television or in a location where they can hear sirens. This may allow those affected to react in time to avoid loss of life and property. iMapWeather Radio Free for a Day! * What is “Weather Radio Day”? WDT is offering the iMapWeather Radio iPhone application free to up to 100,000 people for one day only – the equivalent of a $1M contribution to weather safety nationwide (iTunes download is normally $9.99). * Find out how you can help by offering and promoting Weather Radio Day and this free application all day on May 19th, either with or without your brand associated. * With iMapWeather Radio, your viewers receive potentially life-saving, precise weather alerts on their smartphone, free for a lifetime. This free offer is not a “lite” version and there are no gimmicks involved. We are truly trying to help save lives. end quote Cheers, Esther On May 10, 2011, at 19:04, Esther wrote: Hi Kevin, On May 10, 2011, at 18:38, Kevin Chao wrote: It's not free, it's $9.99 Sent from my iPad What Sarai said in her post (below my sig) was that the Imap Weather Radio app would be offered as a free download on May 19, 2011, and she referenced the main Imap Weather Radio site where there is a note that it would be offered as a free download for 1-day only, and that you would save $9.99 if you download it on that 1 day.

many of the conmands don't work on imac
Hi all. I just got an imac, and many of the conmands I used on my macbook aren't working on my imac. For example, conmand o, conmand conma for preferences. I also want to select a link to copy it and then paste it. How do I do this? Thanks from a new mac user, who would not go back to windows again.
