Re: changing the speakers that voiceover uses?

[Alex Hall]

In a round-about way, I think so, but it might be more trouble than it's worth. 
I might even be wrong about Soundflower enabling this. A quick Google search 
tells me that Apple disables the speakers automatically, which is annoying but 
at least explains why you can't use them. I'd call this an accessibility issue 
- sighted people can listen to music through speakers but still use their macs 
locally, yet VO users are forced to route audio through the external speakers 
and not the internal ones. Rephrase that so it makes more sense (I'm really 
tired and not doing a great job at phrasing things, but you get my point) and 
send it to Apple Accessibility. The only other option I see is Airplay 
speakers, which get very expensive very quickly.

HI all,

Having said all of this, I've just installed SOundflower is there a way using 
that I could re route the output on a Macbook air?

RE: changing the speakers that voiceover uses?

[Tristan]

Hi Alex,

 

I just tested this with my MacBook Air, with both a set of earpods and bose
speakers and the VO utility only displayed "system output" or "built-in
output." Both seemed to routte to the headset or speakers, unfortunately.

I don't know if there's a work around, but that's what I experienced.

I think you can, though I have a Mac Mini and not a Macbook so may be wrong.
Either way, open up the VO utility and select Sound. Go to the "output
device" popup button and choose the device you want to use. The default will
be "system output", which means that VO will use whatever device the Mac is
set to use in System Preferences. The menu will also contain all sound
output devices, and you should see something like "headphones" and "internal
audio" or "internal speakers". Choose the latter and VO will go through your
internal speakers instead of whatever is connected to your headphones.
Again, I don't have a Macbook right here to try this on, so I might be
completely wrong.

Re: Serial communication in Terminal?

Back in the day there was also the 'fortune' command which I noticed is 
still available from MacPorts as well. Outputs old time sayings like:


A computer without COBOL and Fortran is like a piece of chocolate cake 
without ketchup and mustard.

I tried and tried to turn over a new leaf.
I got crumpled wads of tear-stained paper thrown in the trash!
Then God gave me a new heart and life:
His joy for my despairing tears!
And now, every day:
"This I call to mind, and therefore I have hope:
The steadfast love of the Lord never ceases;
his mercies never come to an end;
they are new every morning;
great is your faithfulness."

Re: changing the speakers that voiceover uses?

[Alex Hall]

I think you can, though I have a Mac Mini and not a Macbook so may be wrong. 
Either way, open up the VO utility and select Sound. Go to the "output device" 
popup button and choose the device you want to use. The default will be "system 
output", which means that VO will use whatever device the Mac is set to use in 
System Preferences. The menu will also contain all sound output devices, and 
you should see something like "headphones" and "internal audio" or "internal 
speakers". Choose the latter and VO will go through your internal speakers 
instead of whatever is connected to your headphones. Again, I don't have a 
Macbook right here to try this on, so I might be completely wrong.

changing the speakers that voiceover uses?

Hi all,

I've just gotten a pair of Bose speakers that I'm connecting to the headphone 
port of my laptop.  I'd like to have voiceover continue to play through my 
laptop speakers, and other sound like audio from the web, and computer audio 
play through these external speakers.  Is that possible?

Apparently the screen command can do this:

http://serverfault.com/questions/81544/hidden-features-of-screen/81548#81548

From terminal you can do

man screen

for more details. That is, if the ancient ZTerm ever stops working. Been 
a long time since I played with PPP to get USENet feeds via UUCP for my BBS.

Why QuickTime and AVI or ASF don't mix

['Chris Blouch' via MacVisionaries]

Every so often a discussion comes up on the list around difficulties 
accessing AVI or ASF video/audio files on the Mac. Just found this 
article that gives a deep dive into the early 90s Apple/Microsoft 
battles over QuickTiime in the midst of the browser wars, the damage 
from which live on to this day:

Serial communication in Terminal?

[Teresa Cochran]

Hi, all,

I know I'm a dinosaur, but I can't seem to part with my trusty old braille Lite 
40. I have an application on the Mac called ZTerm that uses serial 
communication and allows me to transfer files to and from the Braille Lite with 
the help of a USB-to-serial adapter. I'm looking for a backup method, just in 
case this app is discontinued or anything else comes up. Is there a way to do 
this in Terminal? Are there other apps that are still being updated that would 
allow me to do this?

just to clarify, I do have a stand-alone Braille display that is compatible 
with the Mac, but doesn't have a book reader or other notetaker features. i 
also am looking hard at the Perkins MiniBraille, but can't buy it for the 
foreseeable future.

Thanks,
Teresa

Slow down; you'll get there faster.

Re: Typing program for blind students

[Teresa Cochran]

Ah yes, be careful. LOL It might be fun, though. I taught lots of people to 
type with the help of Talking Typer, so these are very useful applications. 
I've even played the games on them myself from time to time. So I'd definitely 
get one for the Mac to practice with myself. The tag line in this email comes 
from something i blurted out to a student when he was going nowhere by typing 
too fast in Talking Typer. We both laughed a over it. :)

Teresa

Slow down; you'll get there faster.

Teresa, that does make sense. It seems reasonably simple to make, though

Re: Typing program for blind students

[Teresa Cochran]

Hi, alex,

Basically, a program like this would introduce various sets of letters as you 
go from lesson to lesson. Then it would verbally tell you what to type, along 
with a magnified command for those with low vision. It would buzz and not let 
you proceed until you got it right. It would include some games, such as typing 
dictation or typing letters faster and faster as they appeared.

Hth,
teresa

Hi, Alex. I already gave them your email address. If you want to contact 
YesAccessible  directly and let them know you're interested in creating a Mac 
version of Typeability , their email is i...@yesaccessible.com.
Thanks. Hope that helps.

I suspected as much, but thought since the installer uses voiceover, there 
might be a chance. Thanks.

Re: Typing program for blind students

[Katie Zodrow]

Hi, Eileen. I know it would be great if Yes Accessible had a Mac version of 
Typeability now. David would like to work on it, but he doesn't know how to 
program for the Mac. I think the only thing they need is a developer. They're 
looking for someone that knows how to create apps with Voiceover.

Re: Typing program for blind students

Thanks Katie for jogging my memory. I got the first part, but not the last. 
This app was recommended by another AT trainer here in CA. The app is being 
used throughout lower and higher education. I'm glad to hear that a Mac version 
will be released soon. The developer previously was employed with Dancing Dots. 
Just some FYI.

I assume that these instructions are in the form of audio or synthesized 
speech, rather than text? Do these programs do anything other than tell you 
where the keys are and have you press them?

Re: Typing program for blind students

Hi, Jeremiah. There's a program for the PC that's very fun and interactive 
called Typeability. Kids and adults really love it! My mom and step father 
David Pinto have a company called Yes Accessible that sells the typing program. 
You can visit their website at www.yesaccessible.com to get more info about it. 
They will be creating a version of this for the Mac soon.

Re: Typing program for blind students

Hi,
Yes something to teach how to work from  "home row"
I have people that I tutor using Pro tools that could use the basics! :)
IE use your left index finger from the home row to press the letter "r" for 
instance.
also Mac orientated for the control , option and command keys.
I've been using home row style for years but would like to get the speed up 
just like drumming!
Talk soon

Re: Typing program for blind students

[jbeasley]

Hey Alex,

It would be nice it it was a game that walked you through learning to type. 
 First talking about the home row and then moving forward from there.  It 
would be nice if it could give you timings of how fast you typed after each 
level and how many errors you made.   I think that this would be very 
popular as many schools are now installing Macs in their computer labs and 
classrooms.  We have several programs for Windows but none that I know of 
for the Mac.

Thanks so much!
Jeremiah

Re: Typing program for blind students

Okay, anyone interested, please tell me what this app should have. Is it a 
matching thing, where the app tells you to press a key and you have to press it 
within a set time? Is it some kind of game? I've not used one, but if it is 
simple enough, maybe I can put one together. No promises at this point, but I 
need somewhere to start.

Re: Typing program for blind students

[Alex Hall]

I don't know of one, but maybe someone can make it. Can you describe the 
features it would need? I've never used a typing teaching program at all, so 
would have no idea what to even look for. If nothing else, a feature set would 
tell me how difficult it might be to create.

Typing program for blind students

[jbeasley]

Hello all,

I am looking for a typing program to use with blind students on the Mac.  I 
am wanting something like the Talking Typing Teacher or Talking Typer from 
APH.  If anyone knows of a program like this or a good typing program that 
works well with VO please let me know.  I really appreciate your help!

Thanks,
Jeremiah

Re: mac ports

['Chris Blouch' via MacVisionaries]

Never heard of Grade. Is this a Mac or Linux app? The Unix side of OSX 
is quite capable of automating things through scripts. If the grades 
package you want to use will export into a CSV (comma separated values) 
file you should be able to import that into Numbers.

Re: Typing On The IPhone's On-Screen Keyboard

[Eugenia Firth]

Hi again
I don't bother with the AutoCorrect feature unless, like you said, it's the 
word I want. However, most of the time I don't even listen because it's faster 
just to keep going.
Sincerely,
Gigi

Slow down; you'll get there faster.

Re: question about accessible music converter for mac

[Ray Foret Jr]

I can attest to the truth of this statement.  She is correct.  The very nominal 
cost of this little tool is very well worth it.  


Sent from my mac, the only computer with full accessibility for the blind 
built-in!

The Constantly Barefooted Ray, still a very happy Mac and Iphone 5 user!

Apple Hardware Test and Voiceover?

out. Let's just say that the drive even spits out the cleaning disk, even after 
many restarts and NVrAM resets, etc. Is it accessible? Any pointers you can
