Found how to fix the Spotlightbar
Hi all, I solved the Spotlight bar problem. All I needed was to turn off Captions in VO. Now the Spotlight bar is gone until I want it. Thanks again for the help. Max. Thanks again.

Re: formatting Text in Pages
Hello Chris, In Pages, leaving the text area using VO removes the selection so you can't apply a style. You have to set a hotkey for the style you want and just press it in the paragraph to which it should apply. You can check on what style is in operation by setting a hotspot on the Styles drawer. To do this, open the Styles drawer with Cmd-Shift-t, navigate to it, make sure that you're not interacting with it and set a hotspot. You can then use VO-Cmd-hotspot to discover what is selected in the Styles drawer. If you can't navigate within any text area, go there with VO, bring the mouse and click. There is a lot more than that to using Pages but it should help to get you started.

Re: Improving Calibre Accessibility on the Mac

Re: Improving Calibre Accessibility on the Mac
Hi. Thank you for sharing this information. Esther. I have tried hard to find information on how to do a script for converting from mobi and HTMLZ to epub. Can anybody give me any details for how to make such a script. Teresa it is great that you will try to contact calibre. I tried a couple of months ago, but with no luck. Maybe it will help when more people contact them. Best regards Annie.

Re: formatting Text in Pages
Hello Maria, First of all, don't confuse hotspots with hotkeys. Hotspots are a VO feature that allows you to mark items and return to them or monitor them from elsewhere in the same aplication. Hotkeys are a feature of Pages and are set in the Styles tables. They use the keys F1 through F8 and you set them by focusing on the style you want, then getting a contextual menu, in this case simply by pressing VO-Space. Pages is a complex application that requires a thorough knowledge of VO if you don't want to be tearing your hair out.

Re: braille display
Hello out there. I just bought a new braille display, and so far I like it. It is new to the Mac and IOS devices. I got the Braille Edge 40 this past weekend. The inputs are actually doing better than I was having with my Focus 40. I didn't have ghluetooth before, and I do not now. This display also can be a stand-alone device. It doesn't go on the Internet like say my PacMate in theory does, but I decided I didn't need that, what with having the Mac and the iPhone. So far the only thing I'm having is loosing connection with the iPhone and having to re-establish it. This only has happened when I turn the Braille display off or get out of communication with the iPhone. I may have to inquiffe about that. It doesn't lose contact while operating so far, and I didn't have the same problem with the Mac. I've only had it since Friday, so maybe I'm doing something wrong.

Scott, I think I have narrowed it down to either the Brailliant 40 or Focus 40. Since he uses JAWS the Focus 40 may be the better choice. That is what I am hoping to learn.

RE: braille display
Marianne, I strongly recommend the Focus since your student is a Jaws user. There are definite user advantages to using the Focus with Jaws such as being able to set the level of Braille firmness. This is one of my favorite features. I also like the ability to reverse the Braille panning directions on the Focus. I am not certain if this is a Focus specific setting in Jaws, but it is definitely a proverbial game changer for me.

Re: formatting Text in Pages
Hello Anne, Thank you for all this information. I think I need to spend a lot of time with Pages and get much more experienced with VO. That is probably going to be a bit of a problem given what is going on here at the moment. Anyway, I will see what I can do. Many thanks, Chris One question though, how would I assign - Original Message - From: Anne Robertson a...@anarchie.org.uk To: macvisionaries@googlegroups.com Sent: Monday, October 01, 2012 7:24 AM Subject: Re: formatting Text in Pages Hello Chris, In Pages, leaving the text area using VO removes the selection so you can't apply a style. You have to set a hotkey for the style you want and just press it in the paragraph to which it should apply. You can check on what style is in operation by setting a hotspot on the Styles drawer. To do this, open the Styles drawer with Cmd-Shift-t, navigate to it, make sure that you're not interacting with it and set a hotspot. You can then use VO-Cmd-hotspot to discover what is selected in the Styles drawer. If you can't navigate within any text area, go there with VO, bring the mouse and click. There is a lot more than that to using Pages but it should help to get you started.

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: braille display
Hi. The brailliant display has in my opinion much better braille cells. The brailliant has a much better carrying case, it can not fall out, the focus can fall out of the bag. You can have the brailliant display sitting on your knees, that can be a little insecure with the focus. There are some advantages with the focus as well, but to me the braille cells seems noisy. I sometimes wonder why most blind people are choosing 40 cells braille displays. I feel much better with something like 32 cells, and it is a little more handy too. The only thing I do not like about brailliant is that I sometimes experience problems with the bluetooth conectivity on IPhone, but maybe that has been solved on IPhone 5, it looks like there has been some improvements in IOS 6. I am both using brailliant and focus. It is important that your student tries the displays, because it is so different how the display works for individuals. Best regards Annie.

The Brailliant is pretty good, I like the braille. This is however the first display I've owned myself and had access to for more than a half hour or so.

Hiding Tabs in Safari

How can I remove the viewing of these tabs? I don't want them to appear because I already know where they are assigned to.

Take Control eBooks' September Sale
The sale has been extended to Wednesday 3 October. Also, and more importantly, Take Control have an accessible version of their catalog. It can be found here: http://www.takecontrolbooks.com/catalog-accessible This is just a complete list of all their books in an accessible table. It is much easier to navigate. The only problem with the accessible catalog is that discounts and sales are not applied automatically. You need to enter the voucher code manually. However, if you don't have this code, you can simply email Take Control Books and ask for the code, explaining that you are using the accessible version of their catalog. They are very helpful especially if you ask nicely. Best, Nic -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups MacVisionaries group.

Basic Cocoa Programming
Thanks CJ and Steve! I'll check these out. I have an international Bookshare membership and I believe I've seen those O'Reily books before in some search results, so hopefully I can get them.

Trouble Interacting with the HTML Area in Messages
Thanks, Gavin! That method seems to be working now, although it's probably too early to know for sure. Great work around.

Sharing Reminder Lists in Mountain Lion 10.8.2.
Thanks, Ioana! That worked perfectly just as you said. And for the record, it's just a VO Space that is required on that unlabelled button. I guess the button is the broadcast button that Apple speaks of in it's instructions. This is such a cool new feature. Thanks again!

Pressing that out of the box will not turn on VO unless Apple has changed the default lately. As mentioned earlier, it may be easiest to configure the Universal Access options through iTunes. Then once VO is on, the Triple-Click toggle can be set. Later...

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. Googling specific questions will also help as there are many tutorials and articles out there, plus the official Apple documentation for voiceover.
