Re: Slacker Radio?

[ppowells09]

Hi Jessica, wish I could help with that one. I don't know I do not have the 
free subscription. However when I did have the free subscription, my skips were 
limited, Yet my listening was not. The differences were if you search for a 
given artist, you got that artist along with any other similar artist, and 
anybody else they chose to throw in there. My guess is the Launch of the new 
iPhone app may have contributed to that issue. You can call them, 858-943-5000 
or email their support. Whatever complaints they get, they claim they are 
sending to their developers. Let's hope so. The iPad app is still functional. 
Also, if you have an older version of the slacker app or have not downloaded 
the new one don't. If you have an older version, synced to your computer from 
your phone and you choose to reinstall it, it will work.

Hi, Alex. I haven't looked at quick nav yet. I'll take a look at that 
tomorrow and see if this helps.

Unfortunately, Safari navigation is different. You have to interact with the 
text you want to review, which is made frustrating if, say there is a link 
in the middle of a long article. Once you interact, you can move by 
character with vo-shift-left/right, or word with vo-left/right. You can also 
enable quicknav and use the rotor to read by line or other chunks of text.

Yes. Cmd-left/right moves to the start or end of the line, up/down to the 
top or bottom of the edit field. Option-left/right moves by word, up/down 
by paragraph. Add shift to select by the movement instead of just moving 
by it.

Re: Editing text

[Katie Zodrow]

Hey John its Katie. I remember seeing you in the summer of 2000! I met you at 
an intensive workshop one week during August when I was at the Southern 
California Conservatory of Music for 3 weeks. We were learning to use Sonar 
with Jaws with about 4 other people. I had no idea you switched to the Mac, 
that's awesome! I'm currently renting a Mac for a few months right now and have 
really enjoyed it. I've been learning to use the Mac and Voiceover for about 3 
weeks now and so far, I've been impressed with how much easier Voiceover is to 
use compared with learning how to use Jaws. Sometimes, its a little challenging 
like with navigating dialogs, reading paragraphs online, or interacting with 
items, but its getting easier. Besides doing the quick start and getting 
started tutorials for learning Voiceover, I've listened to some podcasts on the 
Mac for the Blind site which have been helpful. One thing I've been learning is 
to just throw everything you know about Windows aside because otherwise some of 
the concepts for the Mac and Voiceover are different and you could get confused 
if you try comparing how something works in Windows.
I'll try that suggestion for reading paragraphs in Text Edit. 
I'm Glad to see you on the list.

Katie

amadeus pro mp3 advanced settings

[Paul Erkens]

Dear amadeus users,

When saving a file in mp3, I would like to enter 2 advanced options for the 
lame encoder, but I think VoiceOver won't let me access the advanced dialog.

I have a file ready in amadeus pro. I then hit command shift s to save as, give 
filename etc, choose mp3 as output, then I hit settings, and there is a 
problem. I can set the bitrate, choose encoding type like cbr, ABR etc, but 
when I hit the advanced button, nothing seems to happen. Does any of you know 
how I can access this dialog?

One of the things I'm trying to achieve, is add a crc to each frame, because an 
old player that I have likes it. If I don't, then a file may stop playing in 
the middle. But that's just a side story. I'm hoping one of you can tell me how 
to access the controls in the advanced dialog when saving an mp3 in amadeus 
pro. Any ideas?

Kind regards,
Paul.

update to my Mac problem

[Sarai Bucciarelli]

Hi:
I managed to fix the issue of files asking for a password when deleting trash. 
I also fixed the problem I just posted about my Mac acting like it was wiped, 
and not letting me read or write due to permissions issue. Do not try this 
unless you are really techy, or desperate. 
. Here is the fix.
Boot up in recovery mode by pressing restart. Hold down command r when you hear 
the startup sound. Wait about 2 minutes. Press command F5 to start VO. Press vo 
space, and go to the utilities menu. Press enter on terminal. In the terminal 
window, type resetpassword and press enter. The password utility opens, but we 
will not reset password. At the top of the window, click on the iCon for the 
hard drive of your Mac. Move to the user account field, and select the account 
that is causing problems. At the bottom of the window, you see reset home 
directory permissions and acts. Press reset.It takes several minutes to fix. 
Once done, quit the open programs, restart the Mac using your hard disk to 
boot. When you are returned, spotlight will reindex your stuff.

Re: Garageband Jam Packs

[Danny Noonan]

Fantastic. I think that was the only menu I missed. Brain fart moment for sure. 
Mind you, it was about 2 am in the morning when I looked at it. :-)

Thanks. I'm downloading all the garage band and jam pack stuff now. 

Thanks again.

Re: Editing text

[Katie Zodrow]

Hi, Alex. I thought doing VO shift page up and page down reads either the 
previous or next paragraph. I tried doing this command in Safari when I was 
reading an article, and nothing happened. Should I just do option down or up 
arrow to read paragraphs instead? By the way, thanks for your description on 
how the cursor behaves with Voiceover on the Mac. This makes more sense now. 
I used to use outSPOKEN last time I was on a Mac with OS 9 and the cursor 
navigation works the same way.

Yes. Cmd-left/right moves to the start or end of the line, up/down to the 
top or bottom of the edit field. Option-left/right moves by word, up/down by 
paragraph. Add shift to select by the movement instead of just moving by it.

Hi,

I think this might be a case of you not being use to how the cursor acts 
on the Mac.  On the Mac, the cursor position depends on the direction 
your navigating in.  If navigating to the right, the cursor is located 
to the right of the last character or word spoken by Voiceover.  If 
moving to the left, the cursor is located to the left of the last 
character or word spoken.

HELP! Mac crashed

[Sarai Bucciarelli]

Help!
I rebooted my MBP running ML. It looks like a brand new Mac that has
been wiped. All folders are empty, VO is back to defaults. I am still
in my user account, and it is not locked. When I check the disk space
on my disk, it shows about 200GB free, and the disk is 500 GB. Based
on this observation, I know it is not empty.  It is not locked, I'm
still the only account, it is an admin account. If I go to
applications, I see all my installed apps there. If iI go to my
computer, choose my user name, it shows my folders such as documents
and desktop, but says I do not have permition to read or write. I even
get that same error if I stay in applications to long. I tried to
access preferences, and it looks empty, but I cannot stay there long
b/c of cannot read or right permisions error.

I've tried rebooting, rebooting in recovery mode and repairing
permitions and repairing disk. I've tried logging off and back on my
account. I'm stuck!

The nls app is still not out, and the developers are silent; you did not 
miss the launch. I have not heard of the second project you talked about, 
though it does sound intriguing. Sorry I can't be of more help.
On Feb 14, 2013, at 6:53 PM, Christopher-Mark Gilland 
 wrote:



OK, two questions.

First of all, does anyone currently know the status on the app that was 
going to be created for downloading and listenning to NLS books from the 
Bard web site on an I O S device?  I know there was a butt load of talk 
regarding this, and they said it would probably be first quarter of this 
year, but I've heard nothing more.


The second question is, there was a p0roject which I heard about from a 
local NFB state convention which basically outlined a project called 
Borrowed Sight.  Apparently, what it's supposed to do is allow an IPhone 5 
user to take their phone and log into the app, then in real time with a 
human, be able to converse and they will tell you of your surroundings.  I 
don't mean like, there is a step/curb coming up.  This isn't meant as a 
substitute for good cane/guide dog O&M travel, so dont' get that idea. 
Theyt're not there to protect you from getting lost/hurt/killed.  They 
would basically just say things like Hi Chris.  You're now at Southpark 
Mall.  On your left is the food court.  Over to your right is the exit to 
JC Penny. Straight ahead is Dillards, and just off to your immediate back 
is the public restrooms.  As you walk in JC Penny, they'd then tell you 
things like, OK chris, on your left is the perfume.  On the right is a 
jewlry counter.  Straight ahead is a billibard sign that reads Marykay 
Cosmetics for Sale.


Apparently, it uses both your phone, and your camera to do this.  The 
agent who is helping you would have a map which would be downloaded to the 
place where you are.  Apparently they hope to get things like even hotel 
rooms and such mapped out as well, as the project grows mroe popular.  I 
haven't heard if this is still in beta or not.  They didn't really demo it 
at the convention obviously due to it being in beta.  This was only 
something that very very briefly was discussed.  I'm just wonderring if 
anyone knows what I'm talking about, and if either that or the Bard 
project for I O S have yet launched.

Re: Do not download new slacker radio update

[ppowells09]

Hi Christine, I spoke to the slacker representatives this afternoon. They say, 
they updated their iPad app before the launch of the iPhone app. They say, they 
took the iPhone app from the ground up, and said they had received complaints 
from those of us with vision issues about usability. We as visually impaired  
subscribers, need to continue to complain to them. To let them know we are out 
there And enjoy their service. They claim, the usability issues were 
overlooked, and will be corrected. I explain to them, their app has been one of 
the most accessible apps for music streaming services one could find. At any 
rate, they say, they know about it, it yet, we need to continue to let them 
know, it's not just a few of us.

Re: Do not download new slacker radio update

Hi Matthew,
There are two tiers Of slacker subscriptions.
The plus subscription, $3.99 per month. The premium subscription is $9.95 per 
month. The premium subscription, allows you to play albums/songs on demand, 
create and save your own stations With more control over what artists are on 
them. I believe on all levels you have access to ESPN radio, and ABC news. Go 
to www.slacker.com and check it out. If I have given the site in error, Google, 
slacker radio.

 responses rather than having a human look at what the issues are and 
 correct them. That app has been decent for years. There was no reason to 
 totally rearrange the layout especially for those of us who can no longer 
 reliably use it on iPhone. I agree, the iPad app, seems not to have 
 changed. However, if the iPhone app changes, I'm concerned about the 
 changes they will make in their  iPad app. It would be a real shame to 
 lose that service.

Re: Question about two I O S Projects

The nls app is still not out, and the developers are silent; you did not miss 
the launch. I have not heard of the second project you talked about, though it 
does sound intriguing. Sorry I can't be of more help.

Question about two I O S Projects

[Christopher-Mark Gilland]

OK, two questions.

First of all, does anyone currently know the status on the app that was 
going to be created for downloading and listenning to NLS books from the 
Bard web site on an I O S device?  I know there was a butt load of talk 
regarding this, and they said it would probably be first quarter of this 
year, but I've heard nothing more.


The second question is, there was a p0roject which I heard about from a 
local NFB state convention which basically outlined a project called 
Borrowed Sight.  Apparently, what it's supposed to do is allow an IPhone 5 
user to take their phone and log into the app, then in real time with a 
human, be able to converse and they will tell you of your surroundings.  I 
don't mean like, there is a step/curb coming up.  This isn't meant as a 
substitute for good cane/guide dog O&M travel, so dont' get that idea. 
Theyt're not there to protect you from getting lost/hurt/killed.  They would 
basically just say things like Hi Chris.  You're now at Southpark Mall.  On 
your left is the food court.  Over to your right is the exit to JC Penny. 
Straight ahead is Dillards, and just off to your immediate back is the 
public restrooms.  As you walk in JC Penny, they'd then tell you things 
like, OK chris, on your left is the perfume.  On the right is a jewlry 
counter.  Straight ahead is a billibard sign that reads Marykay Cosmetics 
for Sale.


Apparently, it uses both your phone, and your camera to do this.  The agent 
who is helping you would have a map which would be downloaded to the place 
where you are.  Apparently they hope to get things like even hotel rooms and 
such mapped out as well, as the project grows mroe popular.  I haven't heard 
if this is still in beta or not.  They didn't really demo it at the 
convention obviously due to it being in beta.  This was only something that 
very very briefly was discussed.  I'm just wonderring if anyone knows what 
I'm talking about, and if either that or the Bard project for I O S have yet 
launched.


Chris.

Re: Garageband Jam Packs

[Phil Halton]

Danny, once you're in the MainStage app, go into the MainStage menu by 
pressing VO+M, then right arrowing twice and hitting VO+Spacebar. in that 
menu you'll find the "download additional content" menu item.


This assumes you've gotten past the initial downloading of basic content 
that automatically happens on first opening of the MainStage app. That 
initial download screen, as I said earlier, is completely inaccessible, and 
runs for about an hour or more.

Re: Garageband Jam Packs

[Phil Halton]

Actually, I was the one screaming about loops not showing up in the loop 
browser, and I solved that problem. Basically, if you have a project time 
signature other than 4/4, then virtually no loops will show up in the loop 
browser because they're all recorded and stamped as 4/4 time sig.


Since discovering this little known and undocumented fact, I have had no 
problems with the loop browser showing all relevant content from the 
jampaks.


Don't forget also, that loops will be filtered to within two semitones of 
the project key if so set in preferences thus reducing the number of loops 
shown in the browser for any given project. Clearing that preference switch 
will allow all loops regardless of key to be browsed.

Quicknav must be off to do much editing, which is why I tend to leave it off 
almost all of the time.

The cursor is not like on windows; I find it easiest to think of the insertion 
point as being between two characters, rather than under any character. As you 
arrow along, vo reads out which character (or word) the cursor passed to get to 
its new location. So, take the word "apple". If you start at the a and arrow 
right, you would hear "a" as the cursor passed under the a to settle between 
the a and the p. Another press of right arrow reads "p", because the cursor 
went past the first p to land between the two Ps in the word. Next you'd hear 
another p, then an l, then an e. Arrowing left will read the e again, since the 
cursor backs up, passing the e to get between it and the l. Hopefully this 
makes more sense.

Re: Garageband Jam Packs

I thought that in the previous discussion somebody discovered that 
certain loops are only available in certain time signatures. I don't 
really use Garage Band all that much but I remember somebody finally 
noodled this out.

Re: Editing text

[Alex Hall]

Quicknav must be off to do much editing, which is why I tend to leave it off 
almost all of the time.

The cursor is not like on windows; I find it easiest to think of the insertion 
point as being between two characters, rather than under any character. As you 
arrow along, vo reads out which character (or word) the cursor passed to get to 
its new location. So, take the word "apple". If you start at the a and arrow 
right, you would hear "a" as the cursor passed under the a to settle between 
the a and the p. Another press of right arrow reads "p", because the cursor 
went past the first p to land between the two Ps in the word. Next you'd hear 
another p, then an l, then an e. Arrowing left will read the e again, since the 
cursor backs up, passing the e to get between it and the l. Hopefully this 
makes more sense.

BusyCal Compatible with Voiceover?

[Emilio Hernandez]

Hello everyone,

Would anyone know if BusyCal is compatible with voiceover?
I have learned that it is a great improvement over the default calendar app. 
Just curious if anyone has heard of this or has purchased the program, which is 
on sale in the Mac Store for $30.

Cheers.

Tivo Primere Box

[Brian Fischler]

Hey all,

Curious if anyone out there has a Tivo Premiere Box, and if so if you
can view your now playing list of recordings on your iPhone? Also can
you navigate the menus of the tivo box on your Iphone. Anyone using
Tivo stream? I am a long time Tivo user and my box is crapping out I
have the HD box, and am trying to figure out the best way to work a
DVR and if buying another Tivo is a good option. My only other
alternative is the Time Warner DVR which doesn't have any kind of
viewing your recordings through the Iphone. Thanks

Re: WOO HOO!

[Alex Hall]

The commands are online; google "common braille commands for iOS" to find the 
Apple article on it. As to the mac, the process is indeed similar. Go to the vo 
utility (vo-f8, with the function key if your settings require it) and go to 
braille in the categories table. Hit the add button, and the process is pretty 
timple from there. I haven't done it in a long time or I'd offer you better 
steps, but let us know if you can't get things set up and someone can help 
further.

Re: Garageband Jam Packs

[Phil Halton]

All the GarageBand Jampaks are available through the MainStage app. 
mainStage costs $30 through the app store, and once downloaded, you can 
choose to download all or some of the additional content which includes both 
instruments and loops from the six jampaks.



Note though, the MainStage app itself is in my opinion, fairly uselewss, and 
is only a vehicle for downloading the GB jampaks.  When you first download 
and run Mainstage, it will automatically download some basic content, and 
the download screen is completely VO inaccessible. So, just let it sit there 
silently for as long as an hour or two - sighted assistance can be a real 
help here in case you get worried.


Once the download of the basic content finishes, and you can get into the 
app, you can then select "download additional content" from the MainStage 
menu, select the content you want (I just checked the box "select all" and 
then let it run. This will download all instruments and loops from all the 
jampaks which is around 19GigaByte.



I can't quite remember, but I think this download screen is VO accessible, 
so you can read what content is currently downloading and the percentage 
complete etc. It'll take several hours - six or so - to complete. You might 
want to run it overnight.


When done, all the jampacks will be stored in the 
MacHd/Library/Audio/AppleLoops/Apple folder. You'll find there the following 
folders of loops: "Apple loops for GarageBand, "iLife sound effects", and 
then the six Jampak folders.

Hi folks, I have what I hope is not a stupid question. If one is editing text

Re: best pandora client for macbook?

[ppowells09]

In the past, I have paid the monthly subscription for Pandora. It continuously 
played for the subscription. It's my experience, it will stop playing after a 
given amount of time if you are not a paid subscriber.

No problem. :) I agree it is very nice.

One thing with it is that sometimes it'll just stop playing. Simply relaunching 
the application seems to be the only thing that helps.

Re: Do not download new slacker radio update

I agree. What I don't understand is why the iPad version is all right and the 
iPhone one is not? I did not realize there was, or could be, such a dramatic 
difference for the same exact app.

I think, if those of us, who used the service, and pay for it, and are left out 
of the most recent update via the iPhone are constructively critical of the 
update to the extent of Directing them to means of making their app accessible 
again, we will have better luck. I will say this much, their email support is 
crap. If one can get through to their customer service and speak to a human, 
they are receptive.  Contact them directly at, 858-943-5000 We can all complain

Re: Do not download new slacker radio update

[ppowells09]

Yes, with a slacker subscription, you can cash content to your device. Also, 
premium subscribers can listen to a given album on demand if it is within their 
library. Some stations  play songs that are not downloadable due to the rights 
having expired. However one can still add them to a favorite songs station and 
replay them. The iPad app still works.

Slacker, mostly because I like that I can skip songs if I like without a limit. 
With the subscription I have, you can cache content on the phone.

Re: Slacker Radio?

[ppowells09]

If one chooses to subscribe to slacker radio, be at plus,  or premium, you 
don't have all the ads. Premium subscribers, can play entire albums on demand. 
Radio stations, are also more customizable Through a plus or premium 
subscription. Yes, one can download music to one's device, however it is still 
under their rights protection. You do not own it if you do not pay for the 
subscription. Fortunately, the iPad app still works.

Re: Accessible means to fill out forms on the mac

[Eugenia Firth]

Hi again folks. 
Tim, I sort of got it to work. VoiceOver said Edit Text, but on a complicated 
form like the IRS form 1040, I can't tell where I am and which field I am 
choosing. I can type in text like you said, but who knows what field it went 
in. I did do the VO shift space like you suggested. I suspect that a fairly 
simple form would work ok. However, one like this with many fields gets 
confusing. I have filled out some really horrible IRS forms in Windows. 
However, unless you think up something else I haven't done, I guess I'll have 
to wait for those smart folks in California to figure it out. After all, they 
figured out what yours truly thought was the impossible, a blind person using a 
touch screen.

Gigi

No problem. :) I agree it is very nice.

One thing with it is that sometimes it'll just stop playing. Simply relaunching

Re: Slacker Radio?

Hi Rich, Slacker is a service that offers news, talk and a wide range of 
musical genres. It's sort of a hybrid between Pandora, regular radio and 
Spotify. I think the premium service, which I never subscribed to, allows you 
to store music on your device. Sad to hear it's not as accessible as it once 
was as I think it's the best of its type.

Re: Do not download new slacker radio update

[Christine Grassman]

I am deeply disappointed about this update. I love Slacker, and do have a 
subscription. I canceled my Pandora subscription, in fact, and switched to 
Slacker, mostly because I like that I can skip songs if I like without a limit. 
With the subscription I have, you can cache content on the phone.

Re: Do not download new slacker radio update

[Jessica Moss]

Oh wow, thanx for the info there, I had no idea there even was an update.  I 
love their service, but don't have a premium subscription.
  What's the advantage to that aside from being able to listen to a station 
simply by 1 artist?  I picked out a station for Hannah to listen to 1 night, 
and next thing I knew, after about possibly 20 minuttes or so, I got an alert 
message telling me "station exhaustion," which I'd never gotten before, so I 
thought that was interesting, but that's the only issue I have with it; 
otherwise, I love it.

Slacker Radio?

[Richard Ring]

I've been called a slacker many times in my life, but I never had a 
subscription! Seriously, what is Slacker Radio? What does the service allow one 
to do? Now that it no longer functions correctly on the iPhone, I won't be 
tempted to subscribe, but my curiosity makes me long to know!

Re: GnuPG and IOS

[Krister Ekstrom]

Hi, If you are willing to jailbreak your phone, Gnu privacy guard can be found 
on Cydia as a console package, but i haven't found any graphical front ends for 
it, and i haven't seen any plugins that lets you use gpg  with Mail or other 
things. This doesn't mean such plugins don't exist, only that i'm unaware of 
them. Maybe someone else can step in here.
