Creating M4B Audiobooks
Hi list, Esther gave me a lot of info on this list a while back about sample rates, bit rates and creating M4B audiobooks with apps like AudiobookBinder and AudiobookBuilder. I've searched for this thread in Mail and on Google but can't find it. So sorry for asking for old info. What's the significance of the sample rate and bit rate when I'm creating M4B audiobooks, particularly their effect on the maximum length of one file? And do you have any tips for how I could know whether I'll be able to bind all files into one audiobook or whether I'll need to create multiple audiobooks?

I ask because I find Drop Box becoming more and more an issue. Not being able to access the preferences on the latest version, and, the extremely slow upload speeds make me want something faster. My upload speed is measured at about 1MBPS; but, I'm lucky if Drop Box lets me upload faster than about 164KBPS. That's unacceptible in my book.

Re: a piculiar problem getting Vue Scan to sequence file names

Re: 3 queries pertaining to Textedit and Google Spreadsheet
Thank you so much for the great responses. They were very, very helpful. On 01/07/2013, Tim Kilburn kilbur...@gmail.com wrote: Hi, further to my original message, and in addition to Alex's list of commands for Left, Center and RIght justification, it is very easy to create your own shortcut for the Justify command. 1. Open System Preferences. 2. Navigate to the Keyboard pane. 3. Select the Keyboard shortcut tab. 4. Interact with the Shortcut Categories table and select Application shortcuts at the end of the list. 5. Stop Interacting with that Table and navigate over to the Application Shortcuts table 6. If TextEdit is already in there then select it otherwise proceed to #7. 7. Press on the Add an Application Shortcut button. 8. Make sure that TextEdit is the chosen application from the pop-up. 9. Enter Justify in the name field. Make sure it is spelled with a Capital j and that it is spelled correctly. 10. Give it a keyboard shortcut such as cmd-shift-j. Make sure it is not something that is commonly used by the OS like cmd-j otherwise it may mess up the original command. That should do it. Now, if you chose cmd-shift-j, you could have a section of text highlighted in TextEdit, press cmd-shift-j and it would justify it. HTH. Later... * Hi, 1. Bullets and numbering? Yes. There is a pop-up menu that is titled List Style. It gives you choices of varying bullets and numbering. 2. Justifying text. Doable yes, but no shortcut that I'm aware of. You may be able to use the Keyboard pane in System Prefs to create your own but I've not tried this yet so can't give any instructions. 3. Google Spreadsheet. In Safari, on an existing spreadsheet, navigate to the cell you wish to edit, route your mouse to the VO-cursor with VO-cmd-f5 (add FN if necessary), click your mouse or trackpad. This should activate the cell, double-click to edit then the mode should change and you should now be able to use arrow keys, the tab key and return key to enter what you wish. Sometimes, it is difficult to land specifically in the cell you wish so I usually use this method on an existing cell then tab or arrow to get to the cell I wish. It's not pretty but it seems to work for me. Later... Tim Kilburn Fort McMurray, AB Canada On 2013-07-01, at 10:14 AM, Rahul Bajaj rahul.bajaj1...@gmail.com wrote: Hi all, I have three queries.. 1.

2 problems pertaining to the downloads folder and Safari
Hi all, I'm facing 2 problems. 1. In the downloads folder, when I press VO-right arrow, it often shows the list of previous downloads which is titled earlier. How can I get to the files which have been downloaded most recently? 2. My firm has an internal web solution in which I have to click on the expand button in order to expand the comments so as to gather more data. Sometimes, it works perfectly with VO-space. On other occasions, when I press VO-space I merely hear an annoying beep and it simply doesn't work. It finally does work after making a lot of attempts. A lot of time gets wasted due to this. Why could this be happening? Can anyone kindly help me with any of these two problems? Best, Rahul -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups MacVisionaries group.

How can I read a table in a .doc file?
Hey Subject says it all. I can see there is a table in a document in Microsoft Word on Windows, and navigate it perfectly. However, I can't seem to see that there is a table when using iText Express or even Pages.

Re: How can I read a table in a .doc file?
Hello Shaf, In Pages, the table will just show up as a highlighted space. If you can locate it, you can either go to the Format menu and down to the Table submenu where you select Convert table to text, or you can select the table, open the Inspector (Cmd-Option-i, select the Wrap inspector and set the object placement to Floating. Your table will then appear as a separate object on the page, and you'll be able to read and edit it. In Pages, you should never use Quick Nav, just use the arrow keys without the VO keys if you want to be able to select objects such as tables.

accessing dropbox folder from within VMWare
I want complete access to my dropbox folder from within my Fusion win7 machine, but I don't necessarily want to install dropbox within the VM itself - that would mean having two dropbox installations on my MAC HD. I'm thinking that I could setup the MAC's dropbox folder as a shared folder and thus have it available from within windows? Is mirroring also a valid option for this purpose? Is there any way more or less preferable for sharing folders? Mirroring looks like it might be a bit more risky, but am not sure. thanks -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups MacVisionaries group.

Re: Any Good Replacement for Newsrack?
Hey Nicholas, A few questions for ya. I was using Newsrack on the mac, and liked that you could just arrow up or down through the message title and once you moved over it, that marked it as read. With Read Kit does it do that? I guess I am looking for an RSS reader that quickly marks articles as read as I get thousands of articles a week. Also, to use Read Kit on the mac with Feed Wrangler on the iPhone, I assume you have to buy both? I saw that Feed Wrangler is $19 US for the year, which isn't to bad, but I'm looking to keep costs down as much as possible. I already paid for the now defunct Newsrack, which I loved for the most part, but searching for articles in Newsrack wasn't accessible. I also bought Lire and paid to upgrade on the iPhone, but now the sluggishness of Lire and not synching to a desktop client is turning me off. I love getting things in RSS and am not opposed to paying for it, but do want to keep my costs down, as it seems like every week, I want some new tech app. Thanks for the info. I guess let us know what you paid for, I did download Feed Wrangler on the iPhone, but saw you need a membership, and for some reason thought it cost. I guess Feed Kit doesn't sync itself but does have the ability to sync through Feed Wrangler? Am I understanding that correctly? Thanks again. On Jul 7, 2013, at 12:40 AM, Nicholas Parsons mr.nicholas.pars...@gmail.com wrote: Hi, ReadKit on the Mac is completely accessible, supports syncing with Feed Wrangler, FeedBin, and about half a dozen other services. It is very similar to NewsRack, even costs about the same. Only criticism I have is that it doesn't support feed management with Feed Wrangler from within the app itself. However, I'm hopeful this will change in future updates. One fantastic feature of ReadKit is that it allows you to view articles in Readability mode by simply pressing the letter G. This presents you with the full text of the article minus all the annoying junk such as links to share etcetera. Readability mode is thus a lot like Lire on the iPhone. There are a number of RSS readers for iOS that can sync with ReadKit using some of the services I mentioned earlier such as Feed Wrangler, FeedBin, Feva, etcetera. Personally I'm using Feed Wrangler on the iPhone, which is accessible and free. I've heard Mr Reader for iPad is also highly accessible and easy to use. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups MacVisionaries group.

Pinboard or Instapaper
Hey all, I am noticing now that a lot of the new RSS readers work with services like Pinboard and have long work with programs like Instapaper. What are people using and what do you find most accessible? For some reason I think I looked at Instapaper a long time ago and it wasn't accessible. Would love to hear any thoughts. I know Lire also works with a lot of these services, but I have just been using Lire's internal bookmark service. Would love to start using one that I can access anywhere.

My comparison of the scene live GPS and BlindSquare
Hi guys I realize IM you to both programs mentioned in the subject line. However, I am not new to GPS applications. Here is what I have found so far as far as I am concerned right now. I hate to say this, but right now I like BlindSquare better than I like the Seeing Eye GPS program, this graduate is sorry to say. First of all, BlindSquare is more accurate insofar as my address is concerned. The scene I GPS keeps insisting I am at 1061, where as BlindSquare told me I had reached my house when I was right in front of my door. Also, I tried using the scene I GPS this morning for a route that I knew. I did it on purpose for one but I knew. I tried using the multi thing for planning the route, and I got an error every time I tried it. So, I had to use pedestrian mode. I got on the bus, and I was not given enough cross streets. I have found BlindSquare works better on the bus. However, I did discover one weird thing about replanning when using BlindSquare and navigate. Several times I've used vehicle mode in Gavagan, and it works fine. However, today when I chose public transportation mode or pedestrian mode, Nevaden said not one solitary word until I got to my destination, at which point it told me I got there. I kept BlindSquare tracking, and I was able to find my bus stop. Just a few of my observations. Oh another thing. As far as I can see right now, BlindSquare seems to be better at points of interest location.

Re: My comparison of the scene live GPS and BlindSquare
Hey Gigi, Just wanted to say thanks so much for the comparison. I have used Blind Square for awhile, and it is pretty good. It is not perfect, as I do notice the feet and time position of a location are off a bit, but I think this is due to GPS not being a perfect accuracy down to the smallest distance. Additionally, the developer of Blind Square is amazing, as he is constantly working on improving the app and tweaking it. He is very responsive, and I hope he continues with tweaking it even with the competition of Sendero's costly Seeing Eye. I know Sendero has a limited market for this app, and they are in business to make money, but if they want to be successful they are going to have to become more responsive about their product. Thanks again for your review of both apps, really insightful.

Re: My comparison of the scene live GPS and BlindSquare
I only acquired Blind Square recently, and haven't really given it a go yet. I can tell you that I am disappointed thus far with Seeing Eye GPS. 1. It tells me I am home when I am at my neighbor's house, and that my home is behind me when I do arrive home. 2. It announces intersections far too early. 3. It does not say turn right or turn left when one is actually at the corner where one wishes to turn -- whereas Navigon is excellent at this. 4. It names POI's I am near but does not indicate left or right -- I do not know if using the location wand will help with this. I have not tried that yet. 5. It has been wrong about what side of the street a destination is on more than once. With respect to Seeing Eye GPS, it is interesting to hear what POI's are around, and its directions are good and easy to understand if you already have a grasp of the area you are in. It has tremendous potential. If I had to do it all over again, however, I would save my money and wait for a later version.

Hi, Can anyone tell me if it's possible to watch or listen to programmes on the BBC iPlayer website using Mac OSX Mountain Lion and Safari? I can search for episodes, click on the page for the relevant show but can't then find any controls to play the programme etc. I installed the latest version of Adobe Flash Player but to no avail. Grateful for any advice. Many thanks, Ed -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups MacVisionaries group.

Re: My comparison of the scene live GPS and BlindSquare
Thanks for the feedback. Would be interesting to hear if anyone has a Sendero GPS product that is just a GPS navigator and not on the iPhone, as would love to hear if there products are any good. I can tell you that the Sendero Look Around app is not very good. This is the app that has been out for awhile. Considering I am in the middle of NYC, it is ridiculous how long this app takes to get a signal to tell you what corner you are at, and if I recall it doesn't tell you what direction the intersection is at, I haven't used their app in so long, as it is so much easier to try and ask someone, or use Blind Square to quickly pull up your location. Hopefully Sendero will continue to make improvements, but I haven't heard much positive about the Seeing Eye app. On Jul 7, 2013, at 3:23 PM, Christine Grassman cgrassman1...@gmail.com wrote: I only acquired Blind Square recently, and haven't really given it a go yet. I can tell you that I am disappointed thus far with Seeing Eye GPS. 1. It tells me I am home when I am at my neighbor's house, and that my home is behind me when I do arrive home. 2. It announces intersections far too early. 3. It does not say turn right or turn left when one is actually at the corner where one wishes to turn -- whereas Navigon is excellent at this. 4. It names POI's I am near but does not indicate left or right -- I do not know if using the location wand will help with this. I have not tried that yet. 5. It has been wrong about what side of the street a destination is on more than once. With respect to Seeing Eye GPS, it is interesting to hear what POI's are around, and its directions are good and easy to understand if you already have a grasp of the area you are in. It has tremendous potential. If I had to do it all over again, however, I would save my money and wait for a later version.

I have found BlindSquare works better on the bus. However, I did discover one weird thing about replanning when using BlindSquare and navigate. Several times I've used vehicle mode in Gavagan, and it works fine. However, today when I chose public transportation mode or pedestrian mode, Nevaden said not one solitary word until I got to my destination, at which point it told me I got there. I kept BlindSquare tracking, and I was able to find my bus stop. Just a few of my observations. Oh another thing.

VMWare virtual disk management
I don't understand some of the numbers shown for disk management. My VM is 12.9GB as shown in finder, and my virtual disk shown in virtual machine settings is set to 41.5% (60GB).

Re: VMWare virtual disk management
Sure! The 60 gb is actually the maximum size for your virtual disk. By default Vmware creates a dynamically expanding hard disk, which starts out small and grows when data is added to it.

Re: accessing dropbox folder from within VMWare
Yes you can do that. I do the same thing. Just remember once you share your Drop Box folder, if you delete stuff in Windows then it gets deleted off the Mac and website also. Kawal.

I'm thinking that I could setup the MAC's dropbox folder as a shared folder and thus have it available from within windows? Is mirroring also a valid option for this purpose? Is there any way more or less preferable for sharing folders?

Re: My comparison of the scene live GPS and BlindSquare
Strange that good old Mikey May is still trying to squeeze every single penny possible out of the blindness community--well, not strange at all, but very sad. Especially if the app is inferior to blind square. I'll take $15 for life any day. $70 a year is more than Garmin and all of the other major GPS providers charge--as a Seeing Eye graduate I am let down by their business decision.

I can't see myself wanting any less then 32 cells. anyone got any suggestions of good ones? I've been using my Braille sense Plus, but it's dying a slow painful death, so that's why I'm starting to research something new now. the only other one I've had experience with was the focus 40 but that was problematic with the mac in that I didn't get full functionalityy for obvious reasons. thanks so much for any insights and or suggestions!

Voyager 70 display
Hi everyone, Wondering if anyone has any experience with the Voyager 70 display. I know the 44 model is a supported display, but somehow the 70 is not. When I connected the USB cable to my Mac, VoiceOver does not recognize it. I'd appreciate it if anyone might have any suggestions to get this Voyager 70 to work with VoiceOver. I have a feeling I'm out of luck, but thought I ask. Thanks. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups MacVisionaries group.

OFF Topic: Accessible places and apps for visiting London
Hello all: First, I am sorry if this off topic is inconvenient to any one, but I feel that here there might be some one who can help me with this kerry. My husband and I, both blind and with dog guides, are visiting London from August 9 to August 13 this year We go alone, so we are trying to plan as much as we can, finding accessible visits which can give us a good experience about the city ,some museums, or other interesting places, as well as accessible apps for iOS that could help us plan our trips by public transport or find places around which can provide accessible services. I have Inclusive London, but I was looking at the Royal Institute for the blind page, and I found out that there are apps for bus traveling and subway as well, and I can't find which to download. Any other ideas are welcome. We really want to make this a nice experience because we are celebrating our wedding anniversary! we love nature, art, music, history and interactive activities (lol) Thank you for any ideas and help, and if somebody would like to give a hand, please write privately to this e-mail or preferably to: daniela.ru...@me.com Best Daniela Rubio T Distinguished Educator iPhone: +34662328507 -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups MacVisionaries group.

Re: My comparison of the scene live GPS and BlindSquare
I just wanted to respond to a few points. I am not associated with Seeing Eye or Sendero in any way, but I feel there may be inaccuracies spread if I don't speak up. 1. POIs that are nearby are not spoken with a distance and direction. Lookaround Wand is used to get that detail; I suppose the theory is that you have so much going on, especially in a route, that distance and direction to a POI you may not care about are extras you don't need to worry about. 2. The app does announce cross streets and turns very early, and I made a big deal about that to Sendero when I was beta testing it. They know about it, and are doing their best to tweak the system to make it better. 3. The subscription model is the fault of the map company from which Sendero licenses content. in fact, Sendero says that it is possible other GPS apps will adopt this system in the future. Thhe actual price point is set by Sendero, but the fact that no lifetime purchase is available is out of their control. 4. Address accuracy is notoriously bad when dealing with commercial map providers. It is likely that Sendero uses a different company than apps like Blindsquare, hence the differences. I don't know why they went with the provider they did, but there you have it. 5. The app will not announce cross streets above fifteen miles per hour, which is why those of you having trouble with it on the bus are noticing this. It is something they are looking to fix. For the problems with announce times and no cross streets over fifteen miles per hour, the problem is the query time. To keep data and battery consumption down, the app queries the map server every fifteen seconds. In places where you have a lot of cross streets close together, that query interval means you might miss your turn if the app speaks it too late, which would happen if, say, you just missed the alert threshhold, then walked quickly for the fifteen seconds until the next query, at which point you missed your turn. It is a balancing act, and Sendero is trying to figure out a better way to manage it. I asked them why they can't just cache nearby map data, but part of their licensing with their map provider is that no data can be stored locally, so that option is out. As I said, I'm not affiliated with Sendero or the Seeing Eye, but I wanted to offer clarifications and explanations. Also, remember that Blindsquare has been out for some time, and the Sendero app is new. Was Blindsquare perfect from day one? of course not, no app is.

Re: some questions please.Re: failed to join why fie network
I'm sure different folks will pick off different parts of your question list to answer. As far as command-q, all apps should respond to this but some might pop up a dialog asking you something about losing work or saving documents before they quit. Safari in particular should just close with a command-q but maybe there is some scenario where you've filled out a form but not submitted it or maybe a download is in progress. Installing a program happens a couple ways. One of the most common is that you'll download a file which ends in .dmg which is a Disk Image. In the Finder you'll locate the .dmg file which for Safari defaults to going to your Downloads folder, which you can open with command-option-L. Once you find it you open it with command-o which creates a virtual disk drive on your desktop containing the app and sometimes some readme files or the like. So you'll go to that virtual disk drive if it's not already opened, find the app, hit copy (command-c) move to your applications folder (command-shift-A) and hit paste to copy the app from the virtual drive to the applications folder. There are similar steps for files that download as zips or pkg files. Some also have an installer app instead of being able to just copy/paste. Those are usually more complicated installers like major apps. Hope this helps.

Re: My comparison of the scene live GPS and BlindSquare
Wow than Sendero really screwed the pooch choosing the map provider they provided. If this map provider is causing them to charge so much with no lifetime purchase option and such poor results, sender should have chosen a different company to go with for its mapping. I have spoken to sighted people who use GPS apps all the time, of course these aren't accessible to the blind, and they thought this app and the price was crazy. I did explain well, Sendero has a limited market place, and afar all they are in business to make money, but seriously I have yet to hear one good thing about the app and the price is ridiculous. It sounds like this app wasn't ready to be released to the public, and now Sendero will have to deal with th ebad PR. I hope the app will get much better, but for now I will stick will blind square until I hear about vast improvements.

I am not associated with Seeing Eye or Sendero in any way, but I feel there may be inaccuracies spread if I don't speak up. 1. POIs that are nearby are not spoken with a distance and direction. Lookaround Wand is used to get that detail; I suppose the theory is that you have so much going on, especially in a route, that distance and direction to a POI you may not care about are extras you don't need to worry about. 2. The app does announce cross streets and turns very early, and I made a big deal about that to Sendero when I was beta testing it.

The subscription model is the fault of the map company from which Sendero licenses content. in fact, Sendero says that it is possible other GPS apps will adopt this system in the future. Thhe actual price point is set by Sendero, but the fact that no lifetime purchase is available is out of their control. 4. Address accuracy is notoriously bad when dealing with commercial map providers. It is likely that Sendero uses a different company than apps like Blindsquare, hence the differences. I don't know why they went with the provider they did, but there you have it. 5. The app will not announce cross streets above fifteen miles per hour, which is why those of you having trouble with it on the bus are noticing this. It is something they are looking to fix. For the problems with announce times and no cross streets over fifteen miles per hour, the problem is the query time. To keep data and battery consumption down, the app queries the map server every fifteen seconds. In places where you have a lot of cross streets close together, that query interval means you might miss your turn if the app speaks it too late, which would happen if, say, you just missed the alert threshhold, then walked quickly for the fifteen seconds until the next query, at which point you missed your turn. It is a balancing act, and Sendero is trying to figure out a better way to manage it. I asked them why they can't just cache nearby map data, but part of their licensing with their map provider is that no data can be stored locally, so that option is out. As I said, I'm not affiliated with Sendero or the Seeing Eye, but I wanted to offer clarifications and explanations.

Finder View Problem Driving Me Nuts
Hey all, In my downloads folder I have it set to list view and by name. For some reason this is the only folder when I open it the list comes up in reverse alphabetical order, meaning the files go from Z to A. I can't seem for the life of me to reverse it. I have looked in view and options tried switching to icon view and back to list, tried hitting command control 1 twice thinking it would flip the order, but nothing seems to work. Anyone have any clue how to get it to show from A to Z. It's the only folder that comes up like this, and it is driving me nuts.
