Just thought I'd also mention that, if you are on the last item in your mailbox, shift control option command and down arrow will take you back up to the top item. Obviously the reverse works too. I know some people find it tricky holding that big a key combination down, but, if you can manage it, it works fine.

I believe that I'll be able to convert ebooks into different formats from the command line. As I do currently on Windows. However, Calibre will not convert books that have DRM. You'll have to use another tool to remove DRM. Depending upon what country you reside will influence your personal feelings about removing something that the producers have employed to stop such activity. I personally, remove DRM from books I've purchased for personal use. Simply, in order to access it. But I respect that some people wish to obey the strict letter of the law of their country. I would rather buy an iBook version of a book than have to remove DRM from another format.

Re: Automatic caller ID announcement, an important privacy issue with VoiceOver on iPhone
I wasn't saying there is. I was saying I don't see anything wrong with someone putting a suggestion in for an additional customization setting to control this, but differentiating that from putting it out there as a huge issue that just completely violates privacy instead of looking it as manageable with the settings currently available now and further automation could be possible with additional settings options.

Re: Reading epub drm protected books from kobo and similar with voiceover
Hi Andrew and Lisette, Lisette is correct: there is an accessibility problem with the latest version of the Kobo app used on the iPad that is not present when it is used on the iPhone or iPod Touch. There is a button in the top left corner of the screen that VoiceOver is not announcing/recognizing. This was described in a post that preceded the linked post I originally gave you on the mac-access list, that described how to set up your library in list view. (I tend to read both up and down threads when I find links using the Mail Archive search functions, by using Control-N to read the next post in a thread, and Control-P to read the previous post. I often read through the entire thread to check out the context of earlier discussions.) Here's the mac-access post I mean that outlines the problems with using Kobo on the iPad: • Re: Accessible ebook reader for Mac http://www.mail-archive.com/macvisionaries%40googlegroups.com/msg56339.html If you follow the thread down by using the Control-N keyboard shortcut twice, you'll reach my earlier linked post that explains how to change the display view of your Kobo library from "shelf" to "list", and which also includes a second way to speed up navigation to your library that is available in the most recent version of the Kobo app for iPhone and iPod Touch, which lets you flick right to past "My Recent Reads" to the "iPhone Home Disclosure" button and double tap. (In previous versions of the app you had to double tap the large, unlabeled button that took up most of the bottom left corner of the screen, and which had a labeled "Library" entry just below the button -- this still works, but I find flicking to "iPhone Home Disclosure" a bit faster. It's just a matter of personal preference.) You might be able to configure the iPad version of the Kobo app with sighted help. I haven't pursued this. If you do get this set up, the iPad version of the Kobo app doesn't have an option to select a page transition style of "scrolling". It was still possible to navigate past the beginning and end of chapters, and past cover images and graphics, but just less convenient if you were used a paired keyboard or Braille device. In the Kobo app you can always navigate to the next page by toggling VoiceOver off and tapping the right side of the screen. Similarly, you can always navigate to the previous page with VoiceOver toggled off by tapping the left side of the screen. Alternatively, you can navigate to the table of contents (currently announced as "iPhone Toolbar Contents" button on my iPhone in the page controls near the top of the screen) and select a Chapter to move to a new section. This is doable but less convenient than using the scrolling page transition style with a keyboard because: 1) you can't just activate a linkimage with your paired device at the beginning or end of a chapter to move to the previous or next chapter and 2) you may have to bring up the page controls by double tapping in the center of the screen. (This toggles the page controls at the top and bottom of the screen between show and hide.) The key to using Adobe Digital Editions and avoiding crashing with VoiceOver on your Mac is not to try interacting. Instead, just navigate to the next using the controls in the application for the content to be automatically read, and use your arrow keys to switch pages. Also, you can select a small font so that more text appears on each page that you copy with VO-Shift-C. Here's a sample response describing how to avoid crashing this way from the macvisionaries list archives: • Re: Accessible ebook reader for Mac http://www.mail-archive.com/macvisionaries%40googlegroups.com/msg56339.html This includes both my reply and Anne's earlier response on the subject. Hopefully, a later version of Adobe Digital Editions will include improvements in navigation. These did get added for Windows screen readers in the last version of the application, but you still cannot navigate by paragraph, line, word, or character within the application using VoiceOver on the Mac. HTH.

Re: wireless controls that support multiple emulaters for the mac.
Oh cool, will have a look at those, how easy do you think those would be to configure with each emulator, considering the fact that the button layouts would be slightly different, and some of the games would have more functions, causing them to have more of them to press? Sounds like that could get pretty complicated, and unfortunately, I'm not that tech-savvi.

Re: Automatic caller ID announcement, an important privacy issue with VoiceOver on iPhone
I agree and although I don't think there is generally anything wrong with possible customizing options and settings, I think it is a bit much to put this forth as some huge issue of any sort. There are absolutely options to us the controls available to eliminate this speaking if it is such a concern. I tend to agree that it is a bit to the extreme to consider it a huge issue, especially when one can just change a setting to not have it speak at all already or to not have it at megaphone levels. If you don't want the caller ID speaking so loud, does the phone have to ring that loud either? One can adjust the ringer volume accordingly. A 3 fingr double tap is very quick and easy to do. What I really take issue with and where I think peoples' preferences are a bit of a problem is when they are presented as some huge violation deficiency in the product issue. If we throw everything at them as some huge issue at some point everything will be considered the same thing. Just more complaining about everything. I don't know how else to say it. THis just seems like taking something stupid to the extreme without being willing to use what is available to us to manage the use of the device and what it is set to do. It is not practical to expect everything to automate to our ever preference at every second and to consider it unreasonable to just do a double tap with 3 fingers to the screen or to go and, gasp, have to change a setting to fit the current need.

Re: more on converting files to ebooks, Caliber?
Hi Donna. You can use the converter function. If you have removed the DRM, you can convert. My problem is, that I can not figure out how to do a folder of books, so I am using windows for that, because I have found out how to do it there, but I wish I could find the correct command for it on the mac, so I will not have to start up wmware and windows 7 for that. I will find the information I have gathered, and maybe we can use that for something. Another thing is, that if someone made some automator scripts for us, we could do it from finder, but I can not find out how to do that. Best regards Annie.

Hey guys, I never thought that my question would invoke such a discussion. Thanks for all of the help and for the suggestions re: keyboard commander. I just got this macbook and really enjoy it as I'm kinda used to commands that I used on my mac mini, but there are still some things that I'm not 100% on. Thanks again. The keyboard command works flawlessly though i glad I have the full full complement of fingers as it's a bit of a stretch to hit all of the keys at once :).

RE: Automatic caller ID announcement, an important privacy issue with VoiceOver on iPhone
Dear all, While you are all on the topic of the caller ID anouncement, I have yet something more irritating. Not only does the phone anounce when it rings, even during the conversation it will also anounce the caller or his number. Besides muting the speech while we are on the line, is there something else that we can do? Regards, Moses. -Original Message- From: macvisionaries@googlegroups.com [mailto:macvisionaries@googlegroups.com] On Behalf Of Emrah Sent: Monday, March 04, 2013 5:05 AM To: macvisionaries@googlegroups.com Subject: Re: Automatic caller ID announcement, an important privacy issue with VoiceOver on iPhone Friend, Thanks for your prompt input. The fact is that if you wish VO to speak lower on incoming calls, you must lower the volume of the ringer alert. Otherwise turning down the volume of VO is not extremely practical since there are too many cases where you need the volume back at a normal level. And muting VO every time you are done with it? I don't think the setting is intended to be used that way. Did you see the issue where an incoming call triggers VO to speak through the speakerphone even with a headset connected? The fact is that I am not asking for an improvement here, but something that should have been there at the first place. I am far from being over concerned by privacy, but I happen to feel a little uncomfortable when VO announces the names of people that call me when I am sitting on a train, in a meeting or basically close to strangers.

Re: wireless controls that support multiple emulaters for the mac.
Some forums like this one: https://discussions.apple.com/message/18302459#18302459#18302459 suggest you can actually bluetooth pair a Sony Dualshock 3 wireless game controller to a Mac. This article lists a number of gamepads that are compatible with the Mac: http://www.macgamepads.com/gamepads/index.html with two of them being wireless, the Logitech F710 and the Microsoft xBox gamepads.

Re: Som inconsistency with braille commands.

Re: Is there a music program that allows working with midi files.
I played around with this a bit and was able to import some generic midi I found on a random web site just fine.

Re: VoiceOver and HTMLVoiceOver Getting Started Table of Contents
Generally Voiceover, like NVDA on Windows or Linux, takes a stricter approach to reading HTML in that it does not attempt to repair things. Jaws does try to fix things up but by doing so can guess wrong and/or obscure faults in the page, leading web developers to a false sense of security and encouraging them to repeat bad behavior in future products. So if you're learning how to code HTML accessibly, doing it with voiceover is going to be a step ahead because it won't candy-coat any mistakes. That said, you should get familiar with html validators, WCAG and ARIA standards which is what all browsers 'should' adhere to. Safari/Voiceover, like any platform, has bugs but don't be tempted to go down the path of hacking stuff for different browser/AT combinations. It's a fragile path that usually doesn't end well. Instead go the standards way to give yourself futureproof code and eventually the user agents will catch up. I'd also keep up with Steve Faulkner who does a lot of writings in this area: http://www.paciellogroup.com/blog/author/admin/ CB On 3/1/13 9:45 PM, Nicholas Parsons wrote: Thanks, Bill. I've learnt HTML already. Indeed, HTML is HTML, but different screen readers read it differently. For instance, for links, does it read the on-screen text of the link first, its URL (href attribute), its title attribute or the alt text attribute? JAWS is set to read the on-screen text by default. I've noticed VoiceOver often reads file extentions on links such as PHP, ASP and HTM, which makes me think it's reading the href attribute rather than the on-screen text. JAWS, for example, allows the user to choose whether they want JAWs to read out the URL of an image, or its alt text, or both, and so on. Does VoiceOver treat tables used for layout purposes as tables or does it ignore them like JAWS? -- ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "MacVisionaries" group.

Re: Does Chromevox read Flash Content in Google Chrome?
As I had mentioned in previous discussion about flash there are a couple hurdles, one being the accessibility API being supported by Flash. Adobe does not support the Apple accessibility API so it is not likely that Chrome/Chromevox will make this any better. At least I'd be surprised if Chrome implemented some kind of shim to transport iAccessible2 calls from flash into Apple API calls. I doubt Adobe even attempts to make those calls on the Mac since normally they would all fail. CB On 3/1/13 10:18 PM, Nicholas Parsons wrote: Hi all, The subject really says it all.

Re: Midi and garageband.
I don't have garageband connected to my keyboard (yet) so I don't know how all that works, but you can change the tempo and time signature. With your project open you'll navigate past a couple major areas like 'layout area' and 'track info group' and eventually you'll go past the pause/play controls to something called the "LCD group" Interact with that and you'll find something called "LCD Mode popup button" and one of the choices in that popup is "Project". I think it defaults to "Measures". After that navigate right to the "LCD Summary Group" Inside there you'll find Key, Tempo and Signature headers with a popup button below each one. Action those popups to change the key, temp and signature for the project. The temp and keychange should happen immediately . Not sure the time signature really has much effect with MIDI. Hope this helps. CB On 3/3/13 4:45 PM, Annie Skov Nielsen wrote: Hi. Ok I will try to use garageband for editing a midifile. But it is not without problems. I will try to mention some of them, and if you know about some instruction I can read, or if you will explain some of my problems, I would be glad. 1. I create a project, in which I will import a midifile and paste the file into the project. I can not always see if my midifile is 2/4 or 4/4 how can I let the midifile decide the tempo and if it is 2/4, 3/4 or 4/4 or what it can be. 2. I have a great clavinova that I would like to play the midifiles, so that garageband will send the midi to my clavinova, and uses the sounds from my clavinova. 3. How can I change an instrument, if I e.g. wants a flute instead of a oboe, just an example.

Re: Automatic caller ID announcement, an important privacy issue with VoiceOver on iPhone
Seriously? I don't think most sighted people that you come in contact with can even understand voiceover nor do they even care who is calling you. Again, at least we have the ability to have caller ID unlike when cell phones first came out. What if you have a home phone line & a talking caller ID box hooked up to it & someone is over at your house visiting is it any real big deal if they hear it? Are you going to go cut it off because you're afraid that they may hear it & have some sort of issue with who's calling you? I dare say those things are much easier to understand than any voiceover is... I certainly don't think so. What is a big deal to me is that we have the ability to have caller id, text messaging capabilities, web browsing, email, etc on our mobile devices which puts us at least on a somewhat level playing field with our sighted piers. I'd bet if you asked most sighted folks they wouldn't even care if someone saw their caller id... Probably wouldn't have an issue if it were flashed up on some bilboard somewhere. I think there are much bigger fish to fry in the accessibility world than this one. Again, just be thankful that Apple cared enough about those of us who are visually impaired to give us something like voiceover. Just one man's opinion & yes, sometimes I do get paid for it. - Original Message - From: "Emrah" To: Sent: Monday, March 04, 2013 09:32 Subject: Re: Automatic caller ID announcement, an important privacy issue with VoiceOver on iPhone Hi, How exactly do you think you are being constructive here? On the same register as your message, don't you think sighted people would have an issue if their caller ID were flashed on a billboard for everyone to see every time they get a call? It goes without saying that it is great we have access to caller ID. What is not so great is that it is announced out loud automatically for every one in your immediate surroundings to hear. I know that blind people sometimes have a hard time acknowledging the presence of other people who can see and hear. I like using my phone in a rather discrete fashion with a Bluetooth earpiece. I personally find it annoying that incoming calls make Samantha irrupt through my speakerphone and freak out the fellow traveller who is sitting right across from me. :) I don't quite like being the subject of other's curiosity. They suddenly have to acknowledge that there is a blind guy in the house. I am happy for you if you don't consider it to be an issue. I guess it depends on a multitude of settings and appreciate your opinion. However, I still believe I have a valid point here. There is no reason for us to broadcast the name and number of people who are calling us. Cheers E On Mar 4, 2013, at 6:05 AM, Sean Paul wrote: So, would you complain if it wasn't spoken at all?

I'm not so sure it's unavoidable either. One could mute speech with a 3 finger double tap when not in use or, turn Voiceover off all together with a 3 triple press of home, and turn either back on when receiving an incoming call or, just want access to the phone. You could even turn down the volume of voiceover so it would be hard to hear if not holding the device in your hand. But I must say, of all bugs I want fixed, or features I want to see added, This wouldn't even make my top 10. But, who knows? I might be in the minority on this topic.

Re: How to open a .bin file.
Never used a Genesis emulator but found docs on this one: http://dgen.sourceforge.net which says the files should just be raw binary or they can be compressed.

Re: moving to the top of message list in mail
You have to first select the, Add, button from the table. Then, you will be presented with an edit box for the keyboard command. So, for example, you can use the number 1. Then, VO right to the popup menu and VO space on that. Next, navigate down to, Navigation,and then go right. You will probably want, Go to beginning, and go to end, as the two commands you will set up. VO space on the one you want to select and that will be associated with the keyboard shortcut, right option-1. Repeat with Right option-2 for, go to end. Take Care John D.

Re: MLB spring training games
Lol, I totally agree. $20 to have access to every single regular season, and post season game? That's a steal in my book. Thats a night out a the movies, or, a few drinks at Starbucks.

Re: Automatic caller ID announcement, an important privacy issue with VoiceOver on iPhone
Hello, Although I don't find the option to turn off the announcement of caller ID of high priority, I do realize that some might. Sure, having caller ID announced is good, but I don't look at it like Apple has done us a great favor by adding it, and those who think it can be implemented better should just shut up and be content. I mean, nothing would ever get better if we all had such an outlook on things. JMO.

Re: commanders?
Hi, I would just like to add to this, unless you are using certain special character symbols that require the option key, I prefer to set the option key to both. It lends itself to easier combinations. For example, the right option key is great, if you combine it with keys on the left side of the keyboard like, 1 or S for example. But try pressing right option U for instance. Haha. Its doable but, its easier pressing left option U. hth Ricardo Walker rica...@appletothecore.info Twitter:@apple2thecore www.appletothecore.info On Mar 4, 2013, at 12:44 AM, Rachel Feinberg wrote: > Go to the voiceover utility (vo+f8), and scroll down the table to the > commanders category.

Re: Automatic caller ID announcement, an important privacy issue with VoiceOver on iPhone
Hi, How exactly do you think you are being constructive here? On the same register as your message, don't you think sighted people would have an issue if their caller ID were flashed on a billboard for everyone to see every time they get a call? It goes without saying that it is great we have access to caller ID. What is not so great is that it is announced out loud automatically for every one in your immediate surroundings to hear. I know that blind people sometimes have a hard time acknowledging the presence of other people who can see and hear. I like using my phone in a rather discrete fashion with a Bluetooth earpiece. I personally find it annoying that incoming calls make Samantha irrupt through my speakerphone and freak out the fellow traveller who is sitting right across from me. :) I don't quite like being the subject of other's curiosity. They suddenly have to acknowledge that there is a blind guy in the house. I am happy for you if you don't consider it to be an issue. I guess it depends on a multitude of settings and appreciate your opinion. However, I still believe I have a valid point here. There is no reason for us to broadcast the name and number of people who are calling us. Cheers E On Mar 4, 2013, at 6:05 AM, Sean Paul wrote: > So, would you complain if it wasn't spoken at all?

Re: more on converting files to ebooks, Caliber?
Hi. You can convert without installing the command line. But I have some troubles with it. I can not figure out how to convert a folder of books. I am only removing DRM because of accessibility, I do not like to do it, but on the other hand should I when scan the books, use a lot of time, and not always get the result I would like.

Re: moving to the top of message list in mail
I use the numPad commander. Three goes to the beginning and decimal goes to the end. This way only one key executes the command. Also, the three is just above the decimal key so it makes sense to me three goes to the top decimal to the bottom. Sent from my iPhone with dictation software. Please excuse any errors.

Re: more on converting files to ebooks, Caliber?
Hi Gina, This is really helpful, thanks. We agree about removing DRM, I think, I have no qualms about doing that for my own personal use, but also think that if you don't have to, that would be ideal. Sounds like the easiest option will be to work with some of the other tools people have mentioned. Thanks so much for your response.

Re: more on converting files to ebooks, Caliber?
Hello Donna, I'm affraid I haven't had the sighted support to get the command line tools installed. The graphical interface is inaccessible. To install the command line tools requires opening the advanced preferences of the program. I believe that I'll be able to convert ebooks into different formats from the command line. As I do currently on Windows. However, Calibre will not convert books that have DRM. You'll have to use another tool to remove DRM. Depending upon what country you reside will influence your personal feelings about removing something that the producers have employed to stop such activity. I personally, remove DRM from books I've purchased for personal use. Simply, in order to access it. But I respect that some people wish to obey the strict letter of the law of their country. I would rather buy an iBook version of a book than have to remove DRM from another format.

more on converting files to ebooks, Caliber?
Hi all, I haven't followed this thread closely, so my apologies in advance if I'm covering old ground. What is the current status with Caliber? I've seen posts where people were having trouble using it. Is it a good accessible resource for converting files to ebooks? What will it do and not do? How does it handle DRM management? thanks, Donna -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "MacVisionaries" group.

Re: MLB spring training games
I've talked to MLB about this issue last week. Here's the answer I got. If you buy or bought from your computer, that's where you get it. If you buy or bought from your mobile device, you get it on both. This is the way it is & will not be changed as best I was told. So, for me, I was able to cancel my MLB Gameday audio which I've paid for for several years now before the money was taken out then, purchased on my iDevices which also gives me access by linking my account. Yes, in years past I've paid for both because I wanted access to archived games which I couldn't get on my iDevices & I don't expect or suspect that'll change this year. - Original Message - From: "Ricardo Walker" To: Sent: Sunday, March 03, 2013 08:54 Subject: Re: MLB spring training games Hello, This is correct.

Re: Automatic caller ID announcement, an important privacy issue with VoiceOver on iPhone
So, would you complain if it wasn't spoken at all? I'd bet you would. Isn't it a good thing that we get caller ID at all? I mean? Seriously? - Original Message - From: "Ricardo Walker" To: Sent: Sunday, March 03, 2013 15:54 Subject: Re: Automatic caller ID announcement, an important privacy issue with VoiceOver on iPhone Hi, Not to sound discouraging but, I honestly don't know how many really share this concern. I'm not so sure it's unavoidable either. One could mute speech with a 3 finger double tap when not in use or, turn Voiceover off all together with a 3 triple press of home, and turn either back on when receiving an incoming call or, just want access to the phone. You could even turn down the volume of voiceover so it would be hard to hear if not holding the device in your hand. But I must say, of all bugs I want fixed, or features I want to see added, This wouldn't even make my top 10. But, who knows? I might be in the minority on this topic. Hopefully your message will urge others with the same concerns to contact Apple about it.

VoiceOver users have an unavoidable privacy issue: the automatic announcement of the caller ID of an incoming call. It should be possible to make this optional, with the ability to manually interrogate the screen to know who is calling. Moreover, why is it that when we have a headphone connected, the caller ID is still spoken out loud through the speakerphone? What do we have to do for Apple to take this into consideration?

Re: Reading epub drm protected books from kobo and similar with voiceover
Dear Lisette and Esther, Thank you very much for the explanations and tips regarding reading drm protected ebooks on the mac and idevices. Do you know whether I can use the kobo app with my iPad 2? Also, I've been having lots of crashes of Voiceover in adobe digital edition when trying to interact with the page that's currently being read. Reading the archives of the list in googlegroups regarding adobe digital edition, I can see that others have had a similar experience. I must admit that the inability of reading by line is a definite drawback especially with academic books but thanks Esther for the tip of copying a whole page spoken with vo+shift+c and pasting it into a text reader for more detailed examination. It is a solution for now. I'm delighted though that adobe digital solution has been improved. With many thanks again.
