Re: i phone users.
Thanks. I did not know about 15 minutes that it would stop anyway. However, I am having a problem using the app switcher to close the program after I go in to BlindSquare. The husband turn voiceover off, and he had the same problem. I had to restart the iPhone. What happens is using voice over you have to double tap and hold in order to get into the edit apps to take them off of the app switcher. However the app switcher refuses to go into the editing feature and instead opens whatever program you Happened to touch. If I restart the iPhone, it doesn't do that. This is really weird, and I have never seen this happen before. However, now that I know about 15 minutes, maybe I'll just leave it alone since I have a for S iPhone.

Re: i phone users.
Yes, try that out. The thing you describe is something that app has no control of, so it's iOS feature/problem. I believe you can't stop any other app either?

Yes you download it from the Dropbox.com Site and do the following to install it properly. .

Re: why is vuescan necessary to use with Abby fine reader
Hi Anne, so I have a scanner with an automatic document feeder that holds approx 50 pages. Is it not possible to start a scan in ABBYY and just have it scan continuously as long as there is paper in the document feeder? It is possible to do this in Windows, so it seems like it ought to be possible on the Mac as well.

Re: why is vuescan necessary to use with Abby fine reader
Hi Donna, The problem that i personally get when trying to scan with my adf multiple times if using finereader on the mac: After a few tries the adf works fine, so it can scan continuously, but when you have inserted the next load in the pdf and hit scan in finereader you will again have to set the settings in the driver before you can start scanning again, so you have to tell the driver that you want to use the adf for input etc. I am not sure if this is where Anne is referring to as well but i for my part will try vuescan tosee if that will make it a bit less complicated. Testing the different aproaches is key here i guess and see what works the quickest.

Re: i phone users.
Hi again As far as I remember, that is right that it's not just BlindSquare that I couldn't stop. However, for some weird reason, and it may be an iOS thing like you say, I have never had this happen when exiting any other program. I have Navigon On my iPhone also, and it has never done this with the app switcher. However it wants not to stop either. So, like you say, it is probably something you can't do anything about.

I just need something with a few built in sounds I can choose between. I don't need to necessarily set recurring alarms. I already have a count down timer, so please don't steer me down that path. What I need specifically is just a very very most low end bottom of the line alarm clock. Just something real down and dirty that will get the job done. No, Terminal users... I'm not gonna do this as a cron job in my crontab. I'm sorry but that's a pain in my butt, and though I know how to do it, really... for something this easy... why? I just want to set the sound, set when I want it to go off, toggle the alarm from the off setting to the on setting, have the clock go in my menu extras so it's out of the way and not running in my command tab order, and just be done with it. Does such an app exist that would be Voiceover friendly, obviously? Chris. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "MacVisionaries" group.

Re: Blind square wasRe: i phone users.
I don't like Blind Square but am using it whilst waiting for the new Sendero App. Blind Square keeps going to sleep if you stand still and it won't wake up unless your open the phone after it's been locked. I keep it locked to preserve battery. I just wish it would wake up automatically once you started walking or moving again. Kawal.

Re: why is vuescan necessary to use with Abby fine reader
Hello Donna, I haven't got a scanner with an automatic document feeder so I can't test this. However, ABBYY FineReader for Mac is an express version so doesn't have all the options. For those of us with simple scanners, the advantage of VueScan is that it's much more efficient than FineReader for scanning.

Re: num pad commander
Hi! Open VO+f8 then select Command+8 to take you to commanders! Then select the Numpad tab and when you arrow across to the table you can interact and you get a list of all commands without a modifier key! Then stop interacting and arrow left and there is a popup menu to select each modifier key pick one and go back to the table to see what commands can be done with that one! This also means you can see which commands can have a function added to them! hth Colin On 29 Jun 2013, at 15:16, Cait and Maggie wrote: > Is there a list someplace of the commands you can use with the num pad > commander, or do you have to configure all of them?

Re: NVDA tutorials- NVDA Korea - English Site
I knew you'd take it personally Chris. Sometimes people just get sarcastic and you can't let it get to you so much. If you re-read my message, you'll perhaps see that there wasn't anything in there that should get a person so upset. I mean really, all I did is answer your question factually, then refer to myself as a gracious bugger, and ask the question, "is it okay to mention the Windows operating system here"? that wasn't a slam on you. It wasn't even directed at you personally, but was more a comment on fanaticism about mentioning Windows on Mac Lists. Frankly, I'm getting a little tired of having to pussy foot around you. Try just ignoring things that seem like personal attacks. 99 times out of 100 , they aren't, and its just something bugging you that makes them seem like they are. In fact, you could start by ignoring any perceived insult or personal attack you see in this message, because there isn't any. In case you want to flame me for speaking my mind, I'll let you know that I'm just going to hit the delete key when I see this message again, so it'll just be a waste of your time.

Re: Anyone know of a good alarm clock?
I use Sleepy Time (can't remember if it's one word or two). It's available from the Mac App Store. I use it to wake me up with a playlist from iTunes, but it has lots of built-in sounds and playlists as well. You can also choose for it to wake you up with a custom message from any one of Apple's built-in text to speech voices. It offers the ability to schedule alarms, but does not have multiple alarms. It does have a snooze function. It does not, so far as I'm aware, let you assign it to the extras menu. This is no biggie for me though as I only use this when I"I'm going to sleep so I don't mind running the app. If I need an alarm while I'm awake I just use Reminders.

Re: NVDA tutorials- NVDA Korea - English Site
Sir? That is no? problem! I will forget about you, and will set up a mail filter from now on to block every bit your incoming mail, whether directed at me or not. Frankly, you're being very hasty and extremely disrespectful. But, Mister Congeniality whom I've delt with on and off various lists numerous times before, may I add the mods taking my side every single time, your perfect because you're god, and you know everything. Oh yeah, I forgot oh wize one! No one else ever! is right, everyone but you is wrong! God damn straight I took what you said personally in your last reply. Why shouldn't I when you were down right rude. All that I initially did was asked one question about how the hell what you said was related to the mac. I wasn't jumping down your throat, and though you clame you meant well in your first e-mail back to me, it proves you as a despicable liar! If you weren't offended at what I said, you wouldn't haveritten the things you did. You don't have to like me, but God fucking dammit, I do! deserve dignity and respect, and if anyone on this list wants to say I'm not a Christian quote unquote, and chuck Reichel, don't you even think! about writing me telling me to God up! People on this list're gonna learn, in a professional environment, I'd not speak as I am, but this is non CLG Productions related, thus professionalism goes out the window when you treat me this way. Frankly, to anyone moderator or not, who feels me saying what I am is in the wrong, let me remind you of something: This list is a macintosh Voiceover/IOS list, not! an NVDA list. There is another list specifically for that, nvda+subscr...@googlegroups.com and I'm sure people there would be happy to help. Second of all, what was nice about this other gentlemen calling me out on list, and saying he's tired of my pussy whatever comments. I don't remember his wording, but who the hell cares! You want my help, ask for it nicely, and you might get it, but if you sit here and trample me for one honest to goodness question, don't expect anything in return. I don't mind you speaking your mind, Phil, no, but just as you have the right to speak your's, so do I, and that's exactly what you've forced my hand to do. You all will learn very quickly, I can be the best friend, and most patient compassionate man you'll probably know, but you piss me off? wheuhuhho boy! are you gonna know it! Frankly, if you wanna delete my e-mails, Phil or not, go right? ahead! People like you all who do that have that right certainly, but frankly, you guys are not worth my time nor energy, so get off my case, as frankly, not only do I not wanna hear it, but frankly, I'm neither going! to listen to it, case closed! I am done with this discussion, so don't even think! about writing me on or off list about it, as if I see one e-mail from this thread, it's getting deleted and not even opened. If you wanna write me off list to express your support in my stance, go for it, but I'm telling you now, you put the word n v d A in your subject, don't then expect me to read the mail. And, if you try faking me by an off the wall subject, believe me though I may open the mail unknowingly, as soon as I see your disguise, you'll be deleted, and forever e-mail blocked, so don't? try it! I'm warnhing you now! If you immature children! want my help, then straighten the hell up! God damn! why didn't some of you get pops on the butt with a belt when you were young.

Re: Anyone know of a good alarm clock?
Actually are you referring to Wake Up Time Alarm Clock? I found it in the app store if so, and it is perfect from what I can tell. It kind of confused me a little at first as everything was dimmed out. I didn't realize there was an option in the clock menu of the menu bar that says flip drawer. You hit that, or just do command+D, either way, and then things undim and you can set them. Dono if that is the app you're referring to, but it works great if so.

I don't need to be able to set multiple alarms, although that would be nice to have as a bonus. I don't need a snooze function, nor any ability to play a particular file from my ITunes library. I just need something with a few built in sounds I can choose between. I don't need to necessarily set recurring alarms. I already have a count down timer, so please don't steer me down that path. What I need specifically is just a very very most low end bottom of the line alarm clock. Just something real down and dirty that will get the job done. No, Terminal users... I'm not gonna do this as a cron job in my crontab. I'm sorry but that's a pain in my butt, and though I know how to do it, really... for something this easy... why? I just want to set the sound, set when I want it to go off, toggle the alarm from the off setting to the on setting, have the clock go in my menu extras so it's out of the way and not running in my command tab order, and just be done with it. Does such an app exist that would be Voiceover friendly, obviously? Chris. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "MacVisionaries" group.

Re: NVDA tutorials- NVDA Korea - English Site
Hello to anyone reading this crud, Time after time, I see Chris being a complete idiot on this list. His subject lines always reflect a border-line hysteria, when dealing with momentary, hiccup, problems with his Mac &/or OSX & its various applications. Words like, "strange, weird, bizarre, maddening, crazy, & other off-the-top descriptions reflect a manic personality, that seems unstable @ the very least. And now, based on an inquiry--that seems legit to me for those using Boot Camp or VM Fusion--he is using distasteful language in a completely off-the-chart rant/response to the originator of the NVDA post. Without a medical history, I suppose it would be inappropriate to suggest that Chris up his anti depressant dosage. But, seriously, @ what point does the moderator on this list step in & say "enough!" I guess I could take Chris's own recommendation & filter him out of my mail box. In fact, I have considered this in the past, when seeing his posts. I must confess, I generally skip over them, as a matter of course, anyway. However, this last rant is just unacceptable. Chris states himself, that he's not acting professionally in this matter & he's sure got that right. While, as he states in his message that he doesn't have to act that way in this environment, he could @ least act with courtesy. Anyway, I sincerely hope that the moderator will read this & consider action regarding Chris. It's not the first time & it won't be the last. Chris is the one bad apple that sours the whole barrel.

It's ok Shane. You don't have to defend me. I'm going to give it a night to let things cool down before doing something rash that I'll later possibly regret, especially being how difficult I hear it now is to get on the list, but most likely, unless my decision changes tomorrow, I'll probably be off the list. That last e-mail has me practically sobbing in uncontrolable tears. You all don't have to worry though. I won't help any longer. I'm completely finished. I know I've said this before, but between CJ and Phil, I'm sorry, that's put me over the top. I've been patient long enough with you guys. Oh, and by the way, before anyone asks me. Yes, I'll finish the ProTools stuff on Applevis. I made you all that promise, and I don't break promises, case closed. So though I really don't feel like doing so, that, I'll finish for you all, but after that, I'm done!

Re: Does Anyone Know How To Get Voiceover To Read Continuously Without Pauses
VO-a will indeed read all. What the OP described, though, sounds more like pauses inserted by the speech synthesizer in use. In a hypothetical world in which every synthesizer worked on every platform, using the same synthesizer on the Mac as the OP does on Windows would, I imagine, yield Windows-like results. My point is that any pauses in speech, handling of punctuation, and so on are usually decided by the voice in use, not the operating system or screen reader.

my apolopies
It seems the request for information on NVDA tutorials came from another list, not from this MAC oriented list. I mistakenly posted the link to the NVDA podcasts here in error. I honestly did not intend for this discussion to spiral so far out of control, or cause so much consternation as it clearly has done. So much hurt and anger over a simple posting error - it just isn't worth it. I hope this can all go away with as little damage as possible. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "MacVisionaries" group.

Audacity help.
I've just started attempting to use this program this morning, but at the moment am having a little trouble with it. Perfect example, have been trying to change the tempo of a song, but can't figure out how to change the incraments to make it faster/slower, so it just stays the same, and same with echo, so when it comes to that, it sounds really weird, so have no idea what to do with that. As far as some of the options under effects like Audo duct, all the stuff labeled Apple this and that,, and amplify, I have no idea what those are, so would love to get some help getting up and running as far as what the effect are, aside from some of the obvious, change pitch, speed, tempo, wawa, etc. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "MacVisionaries" group.

Re: Audacity help.
Those effects are pretty much everything you could want to do with files, and there are plugins all over the internet to do even more. For instance, changing tempo is done with the speed change function. You may also want to google 'audacity keyboard reference" to find the part of the manual that lists all the possible keyboard shortcuts. You will have to adjust some (often, use command in place of control) but they pretty much work on mac even if they are written for windows. Finally, don't forget that some functions can be accessed by right clicking tracks in the table, and other functions, like how far arrows move, can be configured in the app's preferences.

Re: Audacity help.
Well, I found the change tempo function function, I just can't get the thing to work, there are about 3 or 4 I think, sets of numbers that you can change, and I don't know what to do what with, so have no idea what to do there. I'm so used to the one Windows media player used to have that you could change on the fly, that I have no idea what to do with this, so could use some help here.

Re: Audacity help.
Also, when it comes to recording, I want to record my voice for example, and attempt to alter that, sense I was told Audacity can do that, but can't figure out how to do that, can I please get some help in that area?

Re: Anyone know of a good alarm clock?
HI Chris, Happy to help. Sounds like you've found a solution already, But just for completeness it's SleepyTime (one word) in the Mac App Store. I'd paste the link here but it's not working for some reason. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "MacVisionaries" group.

Re: dropbox
I'm guessing those instructions are out of date. Just install it as normal.

Re: Audacity help.
First, open preferences (cmd-comma, as usual). I don't remember where, but in one of the preference areas is a setting about applying an effect to the full track if no audio is selected. If this is off, you can either turn it on, or remember to press cmd-a before applying an effect if you want to have the entire track change. To record, just hit r. To stop, press space, and to pause or resume, press p. Once you finish that, a new track is created which you can modify as much as you want. I strongly recommend just reading through the manual. It has a lot of references to doing things with the mouse, but most mouse actions have keyboard equivalents (hence that list I suggested you look up) so ignore the instructions on how to do things and just pay attention to how Audacity works. It took me a while, but I managed to learn how to manipulate audio pretty well. Also, there is an audacity users list you may wish to join. I don't have the address handy, but I found it with Google when I looked it up a while back so it is easy to get.
