Re: iPad
Hello, I might to also assume that you are a brand-new iOS user if so there is a gentleman on Apple this VIS Apple this.com who works primarily with visually impaired and has done many podcasts dealing with iOS software and how voiceover works. His name is David Woodbridge. If you go through there podcasts section, you will find your share of podcasts relating to Iowa software done by David Woodbridge also you can find his podcasts in iTunes. I hope this helps.

I can answer your question, though: go to settings, general, accessibility, Voiceover, and turn it on. From there, use the list I emntioned and/or find some primers on applevis.com that might help.

Amadeus Lite - Exporting to iPhone Ringtone
Hello all. I found a feature in Amadeus Lite to export a file as an iPhone ringtone. I tried this, and it sort of works, except the whole file got exported. I realize the limitation regarding iPhone ringtones in that they must be no more than 30 seconds in length. So can anyone tell me where I went wrong please? I left the Export as iPhone Ringtone settings at their defaults. Alternatively should I use an app like Fission to do this?

the ram manager again. Some progress.
Hello all. Following up on my previous post regarding an accessible ram manager for the Mac, I came across a free tiny utility called purge. This little gem has absolutely no interface what so ever. You just run it, it does it's thing, and you have lots of free RAM once again. Seeing as there is no interface, there is there fore no accessibility issues with it. It now has a place in my dock. If you want to find it, do a google search for purge for Mac. I got my copy from macupdate.com. Hope this helps someone.

Re: protected pdf
Hi, A couple of suggestions that are far less expensive than Steve's below smiles. first, do not write kobo, call them. More often than not they use a customer service filtering email which may have no idea what to do with that message. time for a human. Second, kobo may not be the issue, but the book publisher or author if self published. If it is worth your investment, it is worth it to them that you tell them of the issue. Honestly fixing or breaking into the book does not contribute to people who innocently prevent access like this from learning. More often than not, they are more than willing to learn, perhaps replacing your copy with an unprotected one. Just some ideas really depending on how much you value the money you spent and the information in that book.

Very useful program
Hello, I use a program called Movavi video converter. I originally used it on windows, and still do. But it is much more accessible on the mac. What this program does, is take your AVI, MKV, and many other formats of videos and puts them in the MP4 format soe that you can put them in to iTunes to be sinked with your I device. For me this was a huge help, since I have over 2000 movies and TV shows that I like to watch, that are already on an external HD, and I didn't want to have to by them again through iTunes. Now I just convert the movies I want, import them in to iTunes, and I'm good to go. No paying for extra data to watch through iTunes match, no spending hundreds of dollars to buy them in iTunes store. Just spending 40 bucks for this program. And when a new version comes out, you get 30 percent off the upgrade. And for those of you who have a DVD collection that you want to rip to your hard drive, I have heard of people using handbreak for this, and even DVD remaster. Personally I have never gotten either one of those programs to work for me. A program I did have success with is called DVD to AVI It's made by a company called Leawo software Not only does it rip the DVD for you, but by passes the copy write protection with no other apps or programs to install. Don't know how vo accessible it is, cause never used it on the mac. Personally I haven't bought a DVD or rented from the redbox in over a year. I use other resources not fit for this list. If you'd like to know more about that, my contact info is always at the end of my messages. Hope this helps someone save money like it did me.

help with nicecast
Hello list, I'm trying to use nicecast to stream audio from my Mac. When I try to listen to the stream, it seems to connect but, I can't hear anything although, I know music is playing in iTunes. BTW, I'm using an airport express for my router. Any help would be appreciated.

Improving Calibre Accessibility on the Mac
hi, all, I've decided i'm going to do what I can to encourage the developers of Calibre to make the interface more accessible. As it stands now, there are many work-arounds that have to be done to make it work. The only accessible interface that works consistently is the command-line, and as far as I know, it doesn't perform certain functions until plugins are enabled. Also, command-line isn't for everyone, and I really think that a simpler UI would be beneficial, if such a thing is possible. I realize Calibre is a humble project, but perhaps something can be done to improve accessibility for this very useful application.

Re: Take Control eBooks' September Sale
Help!!! Something terribly wrong with navigation of tables or something. When I go to the below site and try and navigate the table, I can't go down through the remaining rows. While inside the table of books, I use the VO-Arrow keys to try and go on down past row 2 but it appears to be going across the table and then it wraps back to top row again.

Re: Take Control eBooks' September Sale
Hello Steve, I've just had a look at this table and it's a total mess! I can get further down through it by using mousekeys, but the VoiceOver cursor won't go there. This site is renowned for being horrible to navigate in any case. Sorry not to have a better solution, but mousekeys is all that works for me. If you want to try this method, make sure that you have the check box Speak text under mouse after delay checked in the Verbosity category, Announcements tab, in VoiceOver utility. Oh yes, and set the delay to zero. Cheers, Anne On 30 Sep 2012, at 18:30, Steve Holmes steve.holme...@gmail.com wrote: Help!!! Something terribly wrong with navigation of tables or something.

Re: Take Control eBooks' September Sale
Hi Steve and Others, I navigated the table entries by setting the web rotor to form controls. Then if you use VO-U you can move down the list to the item you want and use VO-Space or your Up+Down arrow keys to check/uncheck the box. By default the listed entries will be set to Mountain Lion, I think. To change the listed entries to something else, set your web rotor to links, use VO-U, and choose All Ebooks (a really long list, though, so I don't necessarily recommend it) or arrow down past topics to General Macintosh, Apple's Mac Apps, Other Mac Apps, Airport Wi-Fi, etc. Then activate the link to reload the new entries, navigate to the heading Save 50% During the Take Control September Sale!, and VO-Right or Right Arrow to the table. The other way that works for me is to use item chooser menu (VO-I), then type the first few letters of unchecked. Navigate down to the title you want, and use VO-Space or the Up+Down arrow keys to check or uncheck the box. The issue I have when choosing a link to load up another set of books is that these navigation controls don't refresh with the new entries as being associated with the titles. If I toggle VoiceOver on and off, I can view the newly selected entries under Form Controls in the web rotor, or when I use item chooser menu and type u n c to find the unchecked entries, and then I can check or uncheck the boxes without any use of Mouse Keys. Gremlins seem to be swallowing up some of my posts these last two days. I originally composed a long and detailed answer to Cheryl much earlier in this thread, only to have it disappear. HTH.

Using Mouse Keys {was Re: Take Control eBooks' September Sale]
Hi Steve, I don't need to use mouse keys to check the boxes on the Take Control site (see my previous post), but here's a link to an old post from the macvisionaries archives: • Re: mouse keys http://www.mail-archive.com/macvisionaries@googlegroups.com/msg64233.html You can skip most of the explanation, and just set up Mouse Keys to turn on and off with by pressing the Option key 5 times quickly under System Preferences Accessibility (used to be Universal Access in earlier version of the OS) under the Mouse Keyboard options, and if you're using Mountain Lion, you can also use Command-Option-F5, I think, to get to the panel to enable or disable Mouse Keys. Make sure to do the verbosity set-up in VoiceOver utility that Anne described. (It's explained in more detail in the linked post). Then you can click on controls using your i key. HTH.

These books are DRM-free, and are available in both PDF and ePub versions.

I'm cc'ing this to the viphone list, because some titles, such as Take Control of iTunes or even Take Control of Switching to the Mac, may be of interest. For Mac users, titles such as Take Control of Apple Mail in Mountain Lion, Take Control of Using Mountain Lion, Take Control of Troubleshooting Your Mac, Second Edition, Take Control of the Mac Command Line with Terminal (for learning to use Terminal and unix concepts), Take Control of Backing Up Your Mac, and Take Control of Your 802.11n AirPort Network, Third Edition (for general Wi-Fi setups and use) might be of interest. These guides are very hands on and practical; some of them have information that I've never found anywhere else. If you log in through their special anniversary sale link, the coupon code should get filled in automatically. This URL is: http://tid.bl.it/september-sale-mountain-lion Alternatively, if this web page is busy, you can go to their catalog page: http://www.takecontrolbooks.com/catalog You can browse the Take Control titles in iBooks, if you have an iOS device, but the discounted price and the ability to download alternative formats and be informed of new, free, updates is only available for purchases made through their web site.

Re: Take Control eBooks' September Sale
Okay, here's what I did. I started where it says buy selected books button. i tabbed through the titles and hit the spacebar only (not vo-space) to check the boxes. I was able to simply hit enter/return on the category choice; I wanted to see all books. But since I was then at the bottom of the list i had to use shift-tab to go through the books and then hit space only to check items. Then on the cart page, if you aren't seeing your total and couplon discount, use the item chooser and you will see those things. If you are paying with paypal and it says it needs a billing address to process your order, just keep going and when you are taken back to the website you will be able to complete the purchase with no problem. Admittedly it's a horrible website for accessibility if you don't know what to do, but it is actually quite workable once you figure it out. I was able to use it to purchase nearly $100 worth of books but I justify it by telling myself it would have been close to $200 without the discount.

Rogue Amoeba 10th Anniversary Sale today
Hi All, In honor of Rogue Amoeba's 10th Anniversary, all products on their web site that are purchased today (September 30) have a $10 savings. Airfoil for either Mac or Windows is $15 instead of $25, and if you want their combined Airfoil bundle for both platforms it's $30 instead of $40. Audio Hijack Pro is $22 instead of $32. Fission is $22 instead of $32, and if you want to buy the Audio Hijack Pro + Fission bundle, it's $40 instead of $50. Nicecast for broadcasting your music is $49 instead of $59, and Piezo, a very simple recording app, is $5 instead of $15. The Rogue Amoeba web page for the sale is: http://www.rogueamoeba.com/store/deals/TenthAnniversary.php However, you can just go to the main web site, and today any of the items you purchase will have the $10 discount applied, whether you use the above link or the regular web page links from: http://www.rogueamoeba.com/ HTH. I've listed the prices because on the sale web page I hear VoiceOver announce all the items as a price drop from $25 to $5, which is not correct. Also, on the check out page, by default the first radio button (for credit cards) will be selected. If you want to use Paypal, switch this to the second radio button. The sale is good for another 8+ hours. Cheers, Esther -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups MacVisionaries group.

Re: Take Control eBooks' September Sale
Thanks to you and Esther, I managed to order 4 books so far. It is a strange experience indeed. I had some problem associating checkboxes with the right books though but I was probably mix and matching when to use VO modifiers keys. It was almost easier to add more books to the cart and then just remove the unwanted ones. I hope I can use the coupon more than once today.

Re: Take Control eBooks' September Sale
When I used tab and shift-tab, the checkbox and the title of the book were associated so that I didn't have any problem telling what I was ordering. They were spoken together and as long as I didn't try to use vo-keys but just the space bar, each checkbox was checked though it didn't say checked when i pressed the space bar. I was able to fill my cart with 15 items all at once correctly by using this method. I was using the anniversary link that Esther provided but when I saw that this was only one category I went on to all books and added more books without losing the checkmarks on the books I had already chosen. Wile tabbing, I don't remember whether I was able to do vokeys-space on buy selected books or if I had to just hit enter. But I don't know whether I had any particular setting in safari that made tabbing work for me and the method suggested by others certainly also would work.

Navigate down to the title you want, and use VO-Space or the Up+Down arrow keys to check or uncheck the box. The issue I have when choosing a link to load up another set of books is that these navigation controls don't refresh with the new entries as being associated with the titles. If I toggle VoiceOver on and off, I can view the newly selected entries under Form Controls in the web rotor, or when I use item chooser menu and type u n c to find the unchecked entries, and then I can check or uncheck the boxes without any use of Mouse Keys.

Re: Problems with Airserver
Hi al, No not the only one. I'm also having problems with Air Server. Not with the audio but with video. I have an Imac and running Mountain Lion. It was working fine until the last 2 updates. On Sep 29, 2012, at 4:33 PM, Al Puzzuoli alp...@me.com wrote: Hi, Just wondering if others are using Airserver? If so, how have your experiences been? Mine have been spotty at best. When I try to Airplay from my iPhone to my iMac, with most apps audio may not start at all, is choppy, or stops altogether. MlB At Bat doesn't work at all, the iMac pops up an airserver window with a URl and an unknown error code. I've played with Airserver settings, audio buffers, etc, but to no avail. The interesting thing is, this iMac is running Bootcamp. if I boot into Windows, I can run Shareport4w, a free Airplay utility, which works perfectly. So, same iMac, same network. Shareport4w works flawelessly in Windows, while Airserver under Mountain Lion gives me nothing but grief. Anyone have any ideas?

Re: Take Control eBooks' September Sale
I think you can use this coupon as many times as you want before the sale runs out. Cheryl's suggestion of using tab and shift tab to navigate is very robust. There's another way you can view all the listed books: one of the entries under links that shows up after all the specific topics is Year Published. If you navigate to that link and activate it (VO-Space), you'll view a set of links like 2012Ebooks, 2011Ebooks, etc. and you tab to these and activate the links for books published by year. This can be helpful, because if you use the All Ebooks links you'll have about 3 different versions of GarageBand, multiple versions of the AirPort networking guides, etc. according to when they were updated. If you browse by year, you can start at 2012 and work back, and the most recent books are more likely to be of interest. This is also a good way to find the application-specific guides for third party software -- for example, if you're interested in using Scrivener on the Mac, there's a Take Control of Using Scrivener 2 guide. I'm not sure exactly what time the sale ends, so check that the total has the discount applied. After the subtotal there should be a line with the coupon code and a negative amount that is half the subtotal. Then the total should be half the subtotal with the coupon code adjustment. You shouldn't have to enter the coupon code if you use the linked sale web site, though.

They were spoken together and as long as I didn't try to use vo-keys but just the space bar, each checkbox was checked though it didn't say checked when i pressed the space bar. I was able to fill my cart with 15 items all at once correctly by using this method. I was using the anniversary link that Esther provided but when I saw that this was only one category I went on to all books and added more books without losing the checkmarks on the books I had already chosen. Wile tabbing, I don't remember whether I was able to do vokeys-space on buy selected books or if I had to just hit enter. But I don't know whether I had any particular setting in safari that made tabbing work for me and the method suggested by others certainly also would work.

Re: help with nicecast
it only goes to the server at your house. i believe you can send a public address it would then go to those who are able to connect. you should use http://www.listen2myradio.com for streaming. it's free. use shoultcast and set it up. then you can give everyone your listen2myradio link and they can tune in. you can get 5thousand listeners for free. you will have to pay if you want more. they are really good. I use to use them back when I ran a small station but that's another story for another time. I never had to pay a thing. just be sure when you are done streaming to go into it and turn off your listen2myradio server or you will have to reset it meaning you will have to reconfigure nice cast again. hope this helps God Bless.

Re: formatting Text in Pages
Thanks to all who answered my questions. I am sorry I did not reply before but I am up to my ears in boxes as I prepare for some major alterations to my house. I am therefore also behind with my emails. I think I gave rather a bad example with something as simple as making text bold. I am in the UK and wrote the message at the end of a long and tiring day. I will therefore give a very specific example. I type some text in the body of a document and then stop interacting with the various parts of the document as I make my way back to the formatting bar and choose the paragraph style button. Firstly I cannot read any of the items on the menu that appears as VO says absolutely nothing. I did this at the Apple store and the trainer told me the style and confirmed that it had been applied. Then, when I went back into the document and interacted with the various parts until I got to the body of the text I could not read the text I had previously entered. I simply got a dong sound when moving either the VO cursor or the actual cursor. This was because the actual text entry cursor would not move any further than the header section of the document. We tried doing everything we could think of with the cursor tracking but to no avail. I know there are some issues with Pages and Voiceover but I cannot believe they are this bad. I am sure I am doing something very simple that is wrong so please can anyone tell me what it is?

Re: formatting Text in Pages
Hi Chris. It sounds like you should be interacting with the body of the text, and maybe you interacted with the heading. I gather you are in Mountain Lion. I had more trouble with Lion with Pages. Also, when you want to find items sometimes the item chooser is your best bet. Try typing control option i and down arrow through the list. If you just want to italicize text or make text bold, you can select the text you want and then press command b for bold and command i for italics. There are some more direct commands that would not require you to go to the menu. Anne is our Pages expert on this list.

Re: protected pdf
Hi Lisette, Steve, and Others, I think you can use Adobe Digital Editions to read that PDF. It works on Kobo ePub books that are protected with Adobe's ADE DRM, and it also works on library downloaded eBooks that you can check out on the web from libraries that use OverDrive. (You can read the books in the OverDrive Media Console app on an iOS device and download to that app, but the experience of reading eBooks is much better in the Kobo iOS app.) Given a choice, I usually get ePub books from Kobo, so I'd never tried it with a PDF before this question came up, so I tried it on one of my DRM-free Take Control PDFs. I haven't tried with the updated version, but according to Bryan Jones on the mac-access list, he's found no changes in the way the Mac version performs in the latest version: http://www.adobe.com/products/digital-editions.html The main thing is that you still don't have the ability to navigate and read by paragraph, line, word, or character on the Mac side, although you can use VO-Shift-C to copy the page to TextEdit where you can do this. Bryan claims that this is now possible in the latest update for Windows, although the earlier Windows Adobe Digital Editions Preview versions 1.8 basically had the same features as the Mac versions did. I have to advance pages by pressing the right arrow key, but reading books with Adobe's ADE DRM does work. And it does work for the DRM-free PDF I just loaded, so this should work OK with your eBOOk. I'd say this is fine for leisure reading, but for text books you'd really need to have better navigation options supported. HTH.

Re: Safari Books Online
Paul, I think it is www.safaribooksonline.com. Or, it might be www.safaribooks.com. Anyway, they've got a 10-day free trial. After that, the basic subscription is $19 a month. That might seem a bit expensive, but I love the access to so much technical information. There are several formats available. I've had the most success with their HTML. You search for titles, add the one you want to your bookshelf, open it move through the table of contents, jump to the web content for each chapter.

Re: protected pdf

Re: iPad
I thought I heard that too but I tried it recently on an iPhone 4S and it did not work there. I don't know its upgrade history, nor was I aware of what mode the phone was in at that moment. I was shown the phone in a case and I thought I'd be smart and see if VO would turn on with triple click home and nothing. I think if I were buying a device right now, I would want to have someone look over my shoulder or fire up iTunes for the first time to check out the landscape as it were.

Then once VO is on, the Triple-Click toggle can be set. Later...

Re: Safari Books Online
Cheree Heppe here: I tried them because my agency is offering the books as enrichment and career enhancement materials. I had no luck reading those books on an IOS device. Either I got it really wrong or they aren't accessible to any significant degree. Whatdid you say was your work-around?

Or, it might be www.safaribooks.com. Anyway, they've got a 10-day free trial. After that, the basic subscription is $19 a month.

Does anyone know of a good resource for learning the basics of cocoa, particularly any that provide a VO accessibility point of view? and 2. Are there any apps that can be used to develop apps in cocoa which are accessible with VoiceOver? Many thanks for any help.

Re: Improving Calibre Accessibility on the Mac
Hi Teresa, I remember sending you this information about some scripts that Jonathan Chacôn wrote for Calbre. At the time (back in April) I couldn't get to the blog site links, and thought they might have been permanently taken down, but the URLs all seem to be working now. I think that working in the command line for Calibre is fine, but these might be of interest to someone. (Like most things, I found the original information in the archives for the macvisionaries list). begin quote Hi Teresa, I think you'll have the best luck doing the ePub conversion with Pages, as Mark suggests. I'll just mention that Jonathan Chacón did construct a service to convert TXT, RTF, PDF and HTML format eBooks to ePub using scripts to run Calibre in command line, and made it available at his web log site in August 2010. The web page was: http://programaraciegas.weblog.discapnet.es/articulo.aspx?idA=1897 There were headings in Spanish and English: • Servicio accesible de conversión a ePub para MacOS X • accessible ePub conversion service for MacOS X This was the direct download link for the zip file on that page: http://programaraciegas.weblog.discapnet.es/archivos/id38/textConversionService.zip The problem is that this web site doesn't seem to be on-line currently, and hasn't been when I tried it a few times recently. Jonathan has a new web site that is accessed by his free iPhone RSS app (in Spanish), Programar a ciegas RSS by Tyflos Accessible Software. end quote HTH.

As it stands now, there are many work-arounds that have to be done to make it work. The only accessible interface that works consistently is the command-line, and as far as I know, it doesn't perform certain functions until plugins are enabled. Also, command-line isn't for everyone, and I really think that a simpler UI would be beneficial, if such a thing is possible. I realize Calibre is a humble project, but perhaps something can be done to improve accessibility for this very useful application.

Re: Remove spotlight bar
Hi, When you toggle out of Spotlight with Command-space it will also no longer display the text that VoiceOver has just read, which is what I believe you asked for. The only other way to clear this and still have Spotlight active is to delete your search terms (e.g. select all with Command-a, then press delete while in the Spotlight search field).

Reading Epub Books on the Mac
This may have been asked before but I don't recall answers just now. I'm wondering if there are any apps for the Mac to read epub books ala iBooks fashion? Sure Ibooks is fine on the iPod but when I'm home in front of my mac, I would like to be able to read them there instead without altering format or any of that. The ultimate solution would be to have a version of iBooks for the Mac; I don't think that exists. Are there any other solutions? How about iBooks Author? can that be used to read epub material as well as prepare it? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups MacVisionaries group.
