Re: Need help with Wordpress
You can actually make that one post your featured post and it will stay near the top. See if the theme that you have offers that option.

Re: Having voice-over problems with my MacBook Pro
Could you perhaps be a little more clear about what is happening? Sounds to me like your voice over is a little choppy. the Apple store seems to have thought it was Skype. I very much doubt that. Sounds more like a systemic issue perhaps: But, without knowing more details, I hesitate to hazard a further guess. PS. In this last, I do not mean to criticize, rather, I'm just trying to help a little with an issue I see from time to time. Could you perhaps punctuate your sentiences? I guess maybe that you were dictating your text and it's all run together. You need to speak the punctuation aloud as you proceed. You need to do it like this period. So Coma, if you do that comma, it sounds like this period. Get the picture? Do this, and your text will flow ever so much better. Also, here's another tip to help your dictation efforts. You want to speak a little more distinctly and a little more slowly than you might speak to another person. Try hard not to slur your words or run them too much together. HTH.

Re: Need help with Wordpress
thanks; and thanks to the fellow who described how to do a sticky post. you learn something new all the time. now, can someone please tell me how to make my links section behave like links instead of a drop down menu. i've heard it could be that i need to pick a different theme maybe one specially designed for mobile use. I've also heard i may need to create a custom menu. i have a big sale pending, and the number one goal after it closes is to hire someone to help me sort this out. of course, that's the problem with a big sale they take time. i appreciate your kind words to me and wish you the best of luck. send me your url and i'll add it to my personal favorites page. I have so many blind site owner's sites and blindness related sites that I'm thinking of starting another page just for the visual impaired stuff. take care, max On Jun 13, 2013, at 10:23 PM, Chris Gilland wrote: > Max, you know what? that isn't a half bad idea actually, but yeah, we'd > rather keep it on our blog, and not have it as a separate page.

Re: downloading or safari issue

Re: Need help with Wordpress
Mike, I use Mars Edit all the time, and swear by it! Thank you for the help. this is excellent! Chris. - Original Message - From: "Mike" To: Sent: Thursday, June 13, 2013 11:10 PM Subject: Re: Need help with Wordpress Creating a sticky post is actually pretty easy. Once you publish the post go to the post page on WordPress where it shows you the table of everything that you have published. Once you find a table of all your posts, click on the title of the one you want to make sticky. This will take you to a new page where you can edit the post. Scroll down to the second heading called publish. Then scroll to the right couple of times until you come to visibility. It will probably just say "public". Click on this and you have an option called public/sticky. Selected, press update, and you're done. Your post will remain sticky until you come back here and take it off. Happy blogging!

Re: downloading or safari issue
Hi, This sort of problem tends to happen when Web-Developers use fancier links that VO doesn't seem to handle well. I'm guessing that your focus on the link was fine since when you pressed Option-return, it started the download fine. I'm not convinced that Chrome or Firefox on the Mac would have handled it much differently. Firefox is hundreds of times better than it was a year ago but still has some issues so I do find it frustrating to use most of the time. Chrome with ChromeVox is actually quite nice, especially in Google Apps environments but the ChromeVox Users Guide does suggest pressing return on links which is actually the MacOS handling the action, not ChromeVox or VO. Interesting suggestion when I've not heard of very many VO users actually using Firefox or Chrome particularly often. Later... Later...

Re: Need help with Wordpress
Creating a sticky post is actually pretty easy. Once you publish the post go to the post page on WordPress where it shows you the table of everything that you have published. Once you find a table of all your posts, click on the title of the one you want to make sticky. This will take you to a new page where you can edit the post. Scroll down to the second heading called publish. Then scroll to the right couple of times until you come to visibility. It will probably just say "public". Click on this and you have an option called public/sticky. Selected, press update, and you're done. Your post will remain sticky until you come back here and take it off. Happy blogging!

Re: features I wish Apple would have included
Mike, Yeah, the pod casts are great & they helped a lot. I stand by my comments. I think that spirit of misplaced loyalty has led to blind-folks not questioning their adaptive product vendors enough to promote reasonable prices & services. That old argument of "it is a small market, hence the high prices," just doesn't wash anymore. I think some of the younger users just don't know how great their access to all this technology really is. But, I agree that Apple is trying to keep a lock on their products. On one hand, it is somewhat limiting. On the other hand, it makes good business sense & that is the capitalist spirit that has made this nation great. Well, it has made Apple great @ any rate. I mean who can forget a few summers ago, when Apple had more money than the federal government. Unbelievable. Anyway, great job Mike &, please, continue to share your thoughts, experiences, & conclusions. Who knows, maybe you'll prompt a great Android rebellion….*smile* CJ On Jun 13, 2013, at 12:27 PM, Mike Arrigo wrote: > Awesome, glad you found the pod casts helpful.

Almost perfect scan with Prizmo
I had doing some experimentation with Prizmo, and had mixed results. My husband got me this box called scan box. He got it from Amazon. Using it, I was able to get almost a perfect stand of a letter I got. True, the printing was very good, but I also read a bill and was able to figure out who it was from and how much it was. This box has a hole for the camera to go on, but you do need page detection because I found out that if I didn't have it, the camera would get covered up a little bit and mess up things so that it didn't see a page. This box tends to keep the camera very still when you tell the iPhone to take the picture.

Re: Foreign HQ voice for iPhone?
Hi Jurgen and Zoe. Yes, you can only use the iPhone's voices that are built in to the iOS and unfortunately, you can only download one HQ voice at a time. Also, the device needs to be plugged in for a voice to download. So if you want the English voice, either Daniel, Samantha or Karen, you would have to either change your language or your region settings to get those voices. Likewise, if you wanted, in Jurgen's case, the German voice and in Zoe's case, the Greek language, you would have to change your language, plug the phone in and let it download. I hope that helped.

Re: Foreign HQ voice for iPhone?
Hi Anne, thanks Anne for your reply. I tried it out and set my iPhone to British English but unfortunately it didn't work. My german hq voice stayed but Daniel stayed in compact mode even though I kept the Phone for an hour in english. Very sad. Anyway, let's see wether iOS 7 brings the new voices not only for Siri but also for VO. And - who knows - for other languages.

Re: Foreign HQ voice for iPhone?
Hello Jürgen, I'm afraid you can only have one HQ voice on the iPhone. I have the same problem as you do in that I run my iPhone in English but read a lot of French on it. I'd love to have an HQ French voice, and I can have one if I set my iPhone to French, but then I lose my HQ English voice., at least, that's how it seems.

Re: downloading or safari issue
You know, it's funny that we both should offer exactly the very same solutions to your problem Kerri. Tim, I can confirm your suspicions that CNIB is pretty much unfamiluar with the Mac, Voice Over and how we use it. Their only suggestion was for Kerri to use Crome. How do I know? It's just that she told me herself via Facetime. Also, I actually got access to the text of their response which they sent to her. Kerri, it seems to me that Tim's solutions should work for you: especially the Option+return or enter key. I strongly suspect it's a web coding issue at work here. What makes me think this is the frank and rather surprising admition that at one time JAWS users had the same issue. So far as I am concerned, the issue is more on their end and not yours. I think it's got to come down to making sure that their HTML is correctly written. Would you not agree? Sent from my mac, the only computer with full accessibility for the blind built-in!

Re: features I wish Apple would have included
I don't recall saying or implying that in any way what so ever. To tell someone their on the wrong list because someone said it would be nice to have some feature sets similar to android is however a sign of likely fanboy itas. In my home we have 2 apple tv's 2 MacBooks 4 iPhones, an AirPort Extreme and an iPod touch. I'm dug in the apple camp good and strong but do I think wanting new features and less restrictions means someone should nick off and go android? Of course not because I agree. Do I tell my 10year old daughter perhaps she is in the wrong house as she likes my temp windows laptop?! Surely the difference between people who love apple and share their enjoyment and knolidge is obvious when compared with the stark black and white world of the fanboy. I currently have no plans to move to the dark side and go android for many reasons but if apple in the future drops the qualety and or accessibility ball ill certainly see if android in my own personal opinion has become a better choice for me with my totally personal and specific needs and expectations.

Re: downloading or safari issue
Hi, What did you press when attempting to start the download? I've found that sometimes either pressing Return or Option-return works on some sites. Return simply activates the link whereas Option-return starts to download whatever is attached to that link. I haven't used the CNIB site much as I used to find that the CNIB didn't cater much to us folks that live in the sticks, nor did they know much about the Mac.

Re: Accessibility of Safari and Rich Text Editors with VoiceOver
NOt sure I have any good suggestions for rich text editors but Ajax shouldn't be an issue. Ajax is just a technique to fetch a blob of HTML and stuff it into a container on a page (or replace what was in the container). The usual technique is to then move browser focus to that container so the screen reader will notice and read it. An alternative, if moving focus would cause confusion, would be to mark the container as an ARIA live region which means any updates just get read. Pretty much depends on what they are ajaxing in and where they are putting it. If it is in response to some kind of user interaction then I'd move focus. If it's just ticking live updates then live regions or nothing at all might be appropriate. That said, the live regions w3c spec changed a bit a few years ago around 'politeness' and doing it wrong means you get nothing spoken on Safari with VO. That said, I'd give CKEditor a try as they claim to support accessibility: http://ckeditor.com/blog/CKEditor-WAI-ARIA-Usable-Accessibility CB On 6/13/13 3:21 PM, Nicholas Parsons wrote: Hi list, I've been helping my university test the accessibility of some of its online resources. They've been building a whole lot of stuff with AJAX which, as you probably know, is generally pretty awful for screen readers. I was wondering if anyone knows of any good resources which would help them understand how to make their web apps more accessible with VoiceOver? IN particular, their rich text editor is pretty annoying for VoiceOver. Everytime I hit return I lose all sound from VoiceOver. Once I start typing again the sound will return. I can use keyboard commands for simple formatting such as bold and italics, but VoiceOver doesn't announce whether they have worked or not. They've asked me whether I have any examples for them of rich text editors on the web which work well with VoiceOver. They asked about Facebook but I told them that was not a good example. I thought gmail was, but I don't think I've ever used its rich text features. I'm going to scout around the web to see what I can find, but if anyone has any ideas for me of VoiceOver accessible rich text editors on the web I'd love to hear about them.

Re: features I wish Apple would have included
Awesome, glad you found the pod casts helpful. Yes, I have written to Apple with these suggestions. I think what it comes down to though is that Apple wants complete control over the operating system and the user experience. If they were to open up the platform in the ways I have mentioned, they would lose some of that. While Android is certainly not perfect, that is the main reason I use it for my mobile platform, I want complete access and total control over my device, and you just cannot have that with IOS unless you jail break. I'm probably a rare breed, I prefer android for my mobile platform, but for the desktop platform, it's the mac all the way. Original message: Mike, Well thought out comments. Have you considered broaching these ideas with Apple? They might not listen, but nothing ventured…nothing gained. They stop listening to the customers & they'll find themselves just another tech company, like Microsoft. BTB, still using your podcasts for an occasional refresher on OSX. Great job on those. In fact, you helped me make the switch & not one regret. Cheers, CJ On Jun 10, 2013, at 9:57 PM, Mike Arrigo wrote: After looking at the new features of IOS 7, a few things are missing that I was hoping Apple might have considered. Perhaps some of these are there and were just not mentioned, or these could be things Apple will never include because of the experience they want to provide. I will list what I think is missing and state why I think they are good features to include. Of course, this is just my opinion, these may not matter to some people and that's fine. No built in file management. Just about every other operating system, whether mobile or desktop provides a way to browse the files and folders on your device and change them. IOS 7 still has no built in file manager, and no support for USB mass storage or media transfer protocol. I think there is an app you can get that helps with some of this, and the air drop may make this a bit easier, but still transferring content from a computer to an IOS device is more difficult than it needs to be. With Android for example, many devices support mass storage, and those that do not have a memory card slot support media transfer protocol, or you can install an app that lets the device show up on your network like any other drive. No option to change default apps. As far as I know, there is no way to change what app will be the default when doing things like clicking links or opening files in other applications. For example, you can install other browsers, but you cannot set them as the default. On operating systems such as android and the mac, this can easily be changed. Apple does not allow you to change the default keyboard used for typing. While you can install other keyboards such as fleksy, you must go in to the application and type what you want, then choose to send a text message, send email, or copy the text to paste in another program. In Android for example, you can install and set other keyboards as the default. I'm currently beta testing fleksy for android, and if I set it as the default, I can use it to type in any application. You can also dictate within fleksy for android if you wish since any keyboard has access to android's voice recognition service. I was also hoping Apple would have opened up the way text to speech is handled, but this does not appear to be the case. It's good that they added a male voice, probably Tom. However, the same restrictions still apply as far as I know. First, developers are not permitted to use the voices that IOS already has. This means that if an application wants to provide text to speech, aside from voiceover, the application must license and include its own TTS engine. So, for example, let's say you have the read to go app, the motion x GPS app and the blindsquare app installed. You would most likely have 3 copies of the same Acapela TTS on your device, taking at least an extra 100 MB on your device. If Apple allowed developers to use the built in voices, this would not be necessary. Similarly, Apple does not allow you to install new system wide voices. Speech is very subjective, but if you wanted to use Acapela for example with voiceover, this is not possible because of Apple's restrictions. With operating systems like the mac and Android, any application is free to use the voices provided, and you can install third party TTS engines such as Acapela and Ivona, and they are available for screen readers, or any other application that wants to use them. To be required to have more than one copy of a voice on a device is a waste of space, especially when it offers no benefit to the user. IOS is certainly very accessible, but I am a bit disappointed that Apple has not opened things up a bit for developers and provided access to file management. I'm not saying Android is perfect, it isn't, but it does include some major thing
Re: Mail not opening conversations?
I'm curious. Is there a difference between command o and enter in this situation. Pressing enter on a conversation I often don't even have to interact with messages as they will read as I move between them and I don't mean message preview either. Danny.

Accessibility of Safari and Rich Text Editors with VoiceOver
Hi list, I've been helping my university test the accessibility of some of its online resources. They've been building a whole lot of stuff with AJAX which, as you probably know, is generally pretty awful for screen readers. I was wondering if anyone knows of any good resources which would help them understand how to make their web apps more accessible with VoiceOver? IN particular, their rich text editor is pretty annoying for VoiceOver. Everytime I hit return I lose all sound from VoiceOver. Once I start typing again the sound will return. I can use keyboard commands for simple formatting such as bold and italics, but VoiceOver doesn't announce whether they have worked or not. They've asked me whether I have any examples for them of rich text editors on the web which work well with VoiceOver. They asked about Facebook but I told them that was not a good example. I thought gmail was, but I don't think I've ever used its rich text features. I'm going to scout around the web to see what I can find, but if anyone has any ideas for me of VoiceOver accessible rich text editors on the web I'd love to hear about them.

Foreign HQ voice for iPhone?
Hi, I don't remember exactly how but if I understood correctly it should be possible to use a foreign language with VoiceOver on the iPhone in high quality. I searched on the internet but couldn't figure out how. My iPhone runs in german but sometimes I read english texts like e-mails from this mailinglist here. Therefore it would be really nice to have also english voices in hq. If you know how to manage this I'd really appreciate your hints.

Re: features I wish Apple would have included
I don't necessarily agree with this assumption totally. I think personally that not everyone who sticks with one product is nor should be, entitled a fan boy just as I think that not everyone who is looking at the competition is disrespecting what they currently use. Allow me to explain. I use one product for the simple reason that our cell providers don't' allow one to return a product if it does not work and we annoy switch sim cards if we buy a new phone. Does that make me a fanboy? No, it just makes me very cautious to try new or different products. Would I consider Android et al if I were able, maybe.

learning how to encode files to DAISY format
Hi, everyone. I hope this isn't to off topic. I'm planning on working at a recording studio in Northridge California soon. They produce video descriptions for TV networks, documentaries, online music videos and have worked on adding description to educational videos for classrooms. They will also be working on a proposal to get a contract for recording books and putting them in DAISY format for the NLS which should start this fall if everything goes well. I'm trying to figure out what the best software is for converting and encoding audio files to DAISY format. I went on wikipedia last night to learn what DAISY is and also browsed www.daisy.org. When I looked at the links for production and conversion tools, there's plenty of different software that you can download. I wasn't sure which software to look at that works well for encoding audio books for navigation and converting them in DAISY format. It looks like some of this software also works on Mac as well as Windows. I'm curious if the Mac versions are accessible with Voiceover. Any help I can get on this would be very appreciated. Thanks.

Re: from snow leopard to mountain lion with voice over
That's awesome! I'd also echo Ricardo's words that you probably don't really need to teach yourself all that much. Apple's webpage on Mountain Lion would probably be a good start, just so you know what new features there are. Also, as someone else said, David Woodbridge's podcasts are a good resource. You can find them on the following link, just navigate down by headings and you'll find a bunch specifically on Mountain Lion: http://www.visionaustralia.org/living-with-low-vision/learning-to-live-independently/using-technology-and-computers/help-yourself!-technology-podcasts-and-resources/computer-access Cheers, Nic -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "MacVisionaries" group.

Re: Adding footnotes in iText Express
I'm not sure iText does support footnotes, Rahul. And if it does I'm not sure they work with VoiceOver. If you're looking for footnotes, I'd recommend Nisus Writer Pro.

Re: putting lots of small videos in to one big file
I think once you have a bunch of pictures in a folder in iPhoto you can pick that folder and then choose New Slideshow from the File menu. That will make a slideshow out of that bunch of stuff.

Re: IPhone and GMail
gmail's understanding of IMAP and Apple Mail's understanding of IMAP are not the same, and if you're not careful this can produce funny results. The way they both work is rather complicated. Thankfully, Joe Kissell has written a number of great MacWorld and TidBits articles which are free on the web, as well as two fantastic books called Take Control of Apple Mail, one for Mountain Lion and one for iOS devices. I highly recommend both books. I thought Mail was a pretty simple thing and I knew all there was to know about it. How wrong I was. The books are brilliant and really help you to avoid problems like the one you're having. There are many possibilities of what's going on at your end but it's probably got something to do with your settings on both Mail and gmail for how to treat deleted messages. Archive them? move them to the trash folder? Keep them on the server or store them locally? Expunge them immediately or later? Etcetera. Again, I really recommend Take Control of Apple Mail or that you at least google Joe Kissell Apple Mail and gmail.

Re: features I wish Apple would have included
Mike, Well thought out comments. Have you considered broaching these ideas with Apple? They might not listen, but nothing ventured…nothing gained. They stop listening to the customers & they'll find themselves just another tech company, like Microsoft. BTB, still using your podcasts for an occasional refresher on OSX. Great job on those. In fact, you helped me make the switch & not one regret.

Re: features I wish Apple would have included
Hey Dave, Not sure if you meant your comments to come across as rude, but you managed it brilliantly. As far as what list Mike should be on goes, maybe you're unaware of how much Mike has done over the last four or five years to promote the Mac in the blind community He was probably one of the first to take the plunge & has been willing to share his efforts & hard won knowledge with fellow-travelers in the form of 15 or so podcasts on switching to the Mac & many email responses to his listeners. I'm not personally acquainted with Mike, but I have all of his podcasts stored on my drive & appreciate the confidence he helped me to gain in switching to the Mac, after 25+ years with CP/M, DOS, & windows in the personal & professional world. I think Mike's just one of those people who will explore any technology without forming silly allegiances to any name brand, I.E. if it can do something different or, maybe even better, why not give it a whirl. I certainly think that spirit lead him to try the Mac, when most of us were clinging to Windows & over-priced screen reader add-ons. For what it's worth, I appreciate his "pioneering spirit" & think your response was out of place.

Re: features I wish Apple would have included accessing I cloud On the Web.
Everyone has always had the iWorks tab in iCloud. However, this has only ever been to add and remove iWorks document from your iCloud. Prior to Mountain Lion iCloud documents wouldn't sync from iOS to Mac, you had to go to the iCloud website and drag the documents from the cloud to your Mac. Thankfullly, Mountain Lion gained the ability to sync documents automatically from Mac to Mac, iOS to iOS, iOS to Mac and Mac to iOS. What is coming out later this year is completely different which is web apps for iWorks to actually create and edit iWorks documents on the web. I'd also like to Siri get the ability to create, delete and amend contacts. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "MacVisionaries" group.

Re: Bizarre problem with iOS, and mail.
This problem has been documented by Joe Kissell in some detail in his book Take Control of Apple Mail on the iPad, iPhone and iPod Touch. Basically, it stems from the fact that gmail and Apple Mail have different ideas about deleting and archiving. How gmail operates also depends on whether you've set it up as a gmail account, exchange account or other IMAP account. I find the best results are when you've set it up as an other IMAP account. It also depends on whether you've checked archive messages instead of deleting in the Settings on your iOS device. One problem can be that you've chosen to archive messages instead of deleting them but when you try and delete from the actions roter menu it still tries to delete instead of archiving, which causes some confusion. I used to have that problem you're describing all the time, but I no longer do after following Joe Kissell's instructions in Take Control of Apple Mail. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "MacVisionaries" group.

Re: itunes ate my library file again
Hi, That is odd indeed. Did you have a copy of the iTunes app anywhere else outside the Applications folder that you are aware of? Applications that you attempt to run from other places often do cause weird problems that are inconsistent and difficult to figure out. Just for safety, you may wish to export your playlists which will keep text files of the data relating to each playlist you export. This makes it real easy for the next time that you have a Library issue because you'll simply be able to import those specific playlists right back into iTunes if your Library get corrupt again.

Re: Mail not opening conversations?
I don't know how to solve this problem of yours, but the way I read Mail conversations I don't ever encounter the problem. When I get to a conversation in the messages table, I just command-O to open it. By default I end up in one of the messages. To read another message in the conversation I just stop interacting with the message and then VO-left and right arrows to get to the other messages in the conversation and then interact with them. Maybe it's more steps than what you do, but it behaves consistently. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "MacVisionaries" group.

Re: which OCR app does not support books again?
Hello Alex, When I scan books, I open the book out flat and place it face down in my scanner. That way, I get two pages at once and can just turn over the page and repeat. Prizmo does not recognise the text in this situation. At least, it doesn't for me. Perhaps it was the orientation, but ABBYY FineReader did a pretty good job.

Re: Bizarre problem with iOS, and mail.
Hi Chris, I am also having this problem, and it started yesterday. Never had a problem before. Now the problem is exactly as you describe. i'm not using gmail, I'm using a pop3 account but i'm getting the same messages, hopefully someone can help us both. Regards Zoe - Original Message - From: "Chris Gilland" To: Sent: Wednesday, June 12, 2013 10:57 PM Subject: Bizarre problem with iOS, and mail. Hello guys. I am having a really bizarre problem on my iPhone, and hope that one of you may have some insight as to what might be going on. To be frankly honest, I do not check email very often on my phone, I normally do so from my nac. I am noticing however, that when I double tap the delete option, or swipe down with one finger through the actions rotor, And go to delete an email, more specifically, move it to the trash folder, if the email is Originally and my Gmail inbox, I am getting an error message that states that the message cannot be moved to the trash folder. This is completely absurd, as in all actuality, it really does move it. And I can confirm this by looking in the Gmail trash folder, and when I do, the email definitely is there. I am also successfully able to clean it out of the trash folder with no problem whatsoever. This is just totally weird! Like I said, I have no earthly idea when this problem started. I've only recently noticed it. So yeah… If anyone Has any idea what the heck might be going on, Please let me know; I am very intrigued. This is just wickedly strange. I have Gmail configured on my phone using IMAP, not pop three. It is exhibiting this problem both over Wi-Fi, as well as over LTE. I suppose that I could remove the account, and re-added, however, I would rather not do that unless it be absolutely necessary. At any rate, if any of you have any earthly idea, as I said, let me know. No pressure, just curious. Have an absolutely magnificent, and blessed day. Chris.

Faces in iphoto
Hello: I am working with faces in iPhoto and I have a question, let's see if somebody can give me a hand. 1. I tagged some faces with the help or somebody sighted. 2. I when to faces in the source list, and in the content area, I selected the face I wanted it's photos to show. 3. I went to the content area, and I see the tagged photos, but I want to confirm more faces. 4. I hit the confirm more faces and click on the images to confirm them, then I press OK. 5. I return to the content area to see the new photos, but there are not recognized by VoiceOver. In fact, VO repeats the names of some of the photos that were there before. How can I solve this? Do I need to do something to let Vo speak the names of the newly added photos? Thank you very much! Best .
