A question on Mac Terminal. Was: Re: more questions about braille displays
Hi Jason and thanks for your kind answer. I didn't know there is a BRLTTY support mailing list, I'm going to googling for it. Before leaving you, I'd like to ask you something else as you're an experienced Linux user. Do you know if there are important differences in between the Unix system used on the Mac Terminal and what you know under Linux? Thanks.

Re: Launch Bar Audio Question
Hey Pam, Honestly I don't know how useful the app is to someone who uses VoiceOver and already uses keyboard commander to launch the main apps that you use. What I have found in my limited use of Launch Bar is it does help you get to a specific file a little quicker and find a song in your iTunes library quicker, but honestly I am not sure that warrants the price, as I do find myself getting lost in the indexes more often than getting to something I am looking for quickly. I am sure with more experience I will get more accustomed to it, but if you are on a fixed budget I don't think you are missing anything by not having it. Thanks again, and unfortunately still no answer to the annoying VoiceOver being read through both sets of my speakers, will have to contact the developer I guess, have never had this happen with any other application.

Re: Using BrailleNoe With Mac AirQuestions
Eileen, I had to check out what the pan command does. Perhaps the Apex uses it differently. For the Braille Sense (also a 32 cell display), it moves by 32 items, not cells. My note taker is set to move by line using the scroll buttons. Might this act different when the display is connected to the Mac? I too need to spend some time with the Edge and Mac.

The commands list in the VO guide is the list of "commom" commands that can be used on any braille display. Most of these seem to work. There is then a smaller list of commands that are specific to each display, assigned to the device's own buttons such as the pan commands which on the Edge are assigned to the scroll buttons.

As you can see, it doesn't even quite work as designed in some text fields. I'd encourage you to open the same document in TextEdit, for comparison. Don't get your hopes up for anything like the quality of support from the Windows screen readers, I'm afraid. With regard to BrailleNote in particular, the best way to figure out what all the keys do is to examine the mappings in VoiceOver Utility. I changed the panning buttons to be the outer keys, and vertical navigation to be the inner ones. I hope you figure this out, but feel free to ask if you get stuck and I'll try and recreate your issue.

The table should be there, with a bunch of commands. Arrow to a row, interact, go-space on the menu button that says what the command does, and you can choose a new command. Or, press cmd-b (I think) to change the key combination assigned to the currently selected command.

Re: Using Vienna help
Catherine - If you are happy with what you are doing, by all means stick with it. The reason I prefer to have the articles open in an external browser is so that I can quickly enable the reader with Command Shift R if it is available, thus saving me some time trying to find the text of articles in those sometimes very busy news sites. But I have experimented with things to try to duplicate what is happening to you and I guess there are some advantages. One thing that might solve the issue with getting back to the article list is to be sure not to have more than one article tab open. Once you are done with an article, press Command W to close it and I think you should land in the article list. But that may also depend on the layout.

RE: Using BrailleNoe With Mac AirQuestions
Hello Jessica, This is the only thing that I am having problems in with ML. I won't go as far as a clean install of the OS, since it was a bear to get Win 8.1 installed in bootcamp. That is another topic or thread for this list in the future.

RE: Using BrailleNoe With Mac AirQuestions
Hi Robert, Thanks for that explanation. When I reviewed the command list for the Apex, the thumb buttons should pan the document to advance or go back to the previous chunk of 32 cells, which is the total cells on the Apex. I'll have to dig into this more when I have another amount of spare time to devote to it. Thanks.

Re: audio question
Jenine, You might look in to the M-Audio Fast Track or Fast Track Pro. Those work pretty well with Mac. But, I believe they're only 2 channel for the XLR's. On-the-other-hand, they're are more expensive models by the same manufacturer with 4-channels. Also, depending on your Mac, your not limited to USB. There are firewire models as well with much less latency issues. You can use a firewire to Thunder Bolt adapter, from Apple, for later Macs.

Re: Screenless mac.
I am pretty sure you are looking for an NTSC box, but I am not totally certain. Still, a cheap monitor these days can't be much, especially an older one. You will probably need a Mini Display to VGA converter if you get the NTSC box or an old monitor, just FYI That adapter says Mini Display, but it is the same as Thunderbolt and hooks up to that jack on the Mac Mini.

Re: Using BrailleNoe With Mac AirQuestions
Yes to both. Those are the right keys, and the key mappings are in VO Utility > Braille. Choose your display from the table (if you have more than one paired, or ever have done so) and then choose "change commands". Of course, these assignments have nothing to do with any Windows screen readers you use, and you'll need to disconnect VO before any other programs can use the Apex.

Re: Using BrailleNoe With Mac AirQuestions
All commands are in VO Utility > braille > Assign Commands. There, as the name suggests, you can change any commands you don't like in addition to reviewing what is already there. As to your braille grade, there is no relation between it and the Apex's settings. The Mac is driving everything, so simply be sure to enable or disable contracted braille in VO's braille settings. There should also be a command to do this, and space-g is coming to mind, but I might be thinking of iOS.

RE: Using BrailleNoe With Mac AirQuestions
Hi Jason, Earlier today, I reviewed the support documents from Humanware for the Apex using it as a braille display with VO, the "getting Started With VO" document in the Vo help menu and the VO command help table for braille commands. There wasn't much in the latter. I did put on keyboard help and noticed a number of keystrokes with the Apex that weren't assigned. I'm assuming that I can use these in assigning a keystroke with VO. The problem still exists with the inability to pan from line to line and seeing the text on the Apex's braille display in uncontracted braille. I also made sure that the Apex contracted braille was turned on and it was. This is very funky. The experience with my iPhone4 is quite different, with other items to get use to. Any further suggestions on how to problem solve this would be great. Thanks to all that have responded.

However, if you invoke VoiceOver keyboard help with control-option-k, you should then be able to press keys, or combinations of keys, on the braille display to find out what commands have been assigned to them. The VoiceOver documentation also lists braille display commands, most involving entering braille characters in combination with the space bar, i.e., as chords, as they used to be called. Special keys, buttons etc., on your display should also be associated with commands. If not, you can use the VoiceOver utility to assign commands to keys as you wish.

Re: Launch Bar Audio Question
Hey Pam, Thanks, yeah I had already listened to the podcast and have also bought the ebook and am 1/3 through the ebook but no mention of my audio issue and Voiceover on either the podcast or the ebook, I know this is a VO specific question so thought someone using it who also uses different speakers to send VO and music through might know the answer.

It is below. Installing Mac OS X from a USB flash drive This guide will show you how to create a bootable USB flash drive to install Mac OS X. Here are the prerequisites. A USB flash drive that's at least 8 GB in size. The installer and other files take up at least this space. A program called DiskMakerX previously known as Lion Disk Maker available from http://liondiskmaker.com/ The latest version of a supported operating system (Lion, Mountain Lion or Mavericks) available from the Mac App Store. Instructions 1. Download the above two apps listed in the prerequisites. Important! After downloading the latest supported operating system from the Mac App Store the installer opens automatically. Do not proceed since the file will be erased upon the reboot. Instead, press command-q at the first screen of the installer where the continue button has the keyboard focus. 2. Open the DiskMakerX disk image in the finder. It should then appear in the image browser. You can accomplish this by highlighting the dmg file with just arrow keys and press command-o for open. 3. For reasons of better accessibility I then switch to list view with command-2. Copy the only .app file in there and paste into your applications folder. This is accomplished with command-c for copy, command-shift-a to open the Applications folder and command-v to paste. Once copied close all Finder windows with command-w so you're at the desktop and eject the disk image by first highlighting it with just arrow keys and press command-e for eject. 5. Connect the USB flash drive to your mac before beginning the next step. 6. Open the DiskMakerX which should now be located in your applications folder. 7. When prompted that Safari has downloaded this application from the web vo-arrow to the open button and press vo-space to activate. With quickness enabled with left-right arrows together you can simply navigate to the open button with left or right arrow keys then press up-down arrows together to activate. Note By VO throughout this guide I am talking about the VoiceOver keys which are control-option. 8. Follow the instructions on the screen. For example when choosing the operating system click either Lion, Mountain Lion or Mavericks button. 9. When it comes to the USB flash drive part choose to have it create as an 8 GB flash drive. You will be warned that all data will be erased so make sure your flash drive is backed up somewhere. Note If you have previously made a bootable USB flash drive you can update the volume here by clicking the appropriate button. Tip Since the application uses appropriate options as default buttons in most cases, pressing return will be enough to move on to the next screen. 10. The preparation and copying will eventually begin. Do not worry about any busy busy busy messages or that the app has no windows. It is just doing its work behind the scenes. Please enter any credentials when prompted. VoiceOver makes a clicking type sound when in password text fields. 11. When all finished, you are invited to either open Start-up Disk preferences so you can quickly change to the newly created or updated bootable USB flash drive and test your creations. You are also invited to make a donation to the developers which is in fact the default button so pressing return will open your browser allowing you to make such a donation. Finally there is a quit button which does what it says; quit the application. Let's then click the open Start-up Disk Preferences button. 12. Interact with the possible start-up disks scroll area, choose your bootable USB Flash Drive by selecting the appropriate radio buttons, stop interacting with the scroll area and click restart button. To interact and stop interact with VoiceOver do one of the following: A. Press vo-shift-down arrow to interact; vo-shift-up arrow to stop interacting. B. Press down-right arrows to interact; down-left arrows to stop interacting. This is assuming quickness is enabled with left-right arrows. 13. Click restart button ag
Re: How to remove write-protection from my USB-stick or flash-drive, whatever they call them these days
How long have you had it for? Some flash chipsets respond to complete wear by, you guessed it, turning read-only. I wonder if perhaps the disk has had it? Did it come with software, do you remember? Perhaps you have need of it now, to "Unprotect" it. Doubt this is the real reason if you've been happily using it all this time though. Good luck.

Re: Using Vienna help
Hi Jeff, Thanks for the info, and everything you said before. I have it set to vertical layout but this approach still isn't working - I can arrow up and down the folder list, press right when finding a folder I want, arrow up and down the article list. But then when I press VO j it jumps me back to the folder list, not the html content. Don't know why. But the good news is I found another way which seems to work well. After finding an article I want I press enter. I haven't set it up to open in external browser and it seems when I press enter it opens in a new tab but doesn't select that tab. So I then press command option right arrow which selects the next tab and also puts VO in the html content. When I've finished reading I press command w to close that tab and I land back where I was in the article list. So in case anyone else has trouble perhaps you can try that method as well. Mysterious as to why the first method isn't working for me but never mind. Thanks for your help, Catherine On 6/23/14, Geoff Stephens wrote: > Make sure to use the vertical layout.

Re: Apple Time Capsule vs. AirPort Extreme vs. AirPort Express - which router should you choose? | iMore
Hi, The combo-pack may happen but I'd guess that you're not going to see a combo modem/airport device any time in the near future. ISP's often have proprietary devices that they have entered into agreements with specific venders but, they often end up behind the times technology-wise. That is, all the new Airport Extreme and Time Capsule devices are Wireless AC devices whereas I'd venture to say that those packaged with ISP's are behind a level or two. This likely won't make much difference to your Internet speed but makes a huge difference to your internal network speed. Later...

Re: transferring contacts to a family member
Hi, If you already have iCloud syncing of Contacts enabled between your Mac and her iPhone, then this will be relatively easy. Do the following on her iPhone: * Go into Settings/iCloud and turn off Contact syncing. * You will be asked what you want to do with the existing Contacts, Keep them on your iPhone, or Delete them from your iPhone. * Double-tap on the Keep them on my iPhone. * Then, setup her new Apple ID and when the iCloud options come up, make sure Contact syncing is turned on so that these contacts will be moved up to iCloud for her. * You can then go through all those contacts if you wish removing ones that are not important to her life. This will not affect your contact list at all once your Apple ID has been disassociated with her iPhone. Note that, you can do similar things with other iCloud services that keep data both on the iDevice and within iCloud. One other note, is that she really wouldn't be able to see anything you're doing on your computer from her Mac unless she installed some surveillance kind of software. She may be able to know where you are by using Find my Mac, learn if you have any new Notes, Reminders, Calendar events or have added any new Contacts or apps, but, for the most part, nothing profound. HTH. Later...

Re: Screenless mac.
That is a problem with some Minis (mine included). You need a screen of some kind, even if the screen is off, or the Mac spends so much time searching for a screen that it slows down. There are also converters you used to be able to get, which would trick the Mac into thinking a screen was connected when in reality all that was there was a little box, but I don't know if those are still around.

Apple Mail automatically allows you to choose from among your enabled aliases as the sender, but in other email software you will have to manually supply such addresses as potential From: addresses. You may use any of your aliases at any time. Therefore, tell Thunderbird that you would like to send from multiple From: addresses, or if you can control the field at time of sending, just do that. Be aware that iCloud SMTP servers do not allow you to send mail from any address not your own. This is not normally a problem unless you are sending mail on behalf of someone else, which typical usage wouldn't result in you doing. However, you can redirect mail from Apple Mail without issue.

Re: Accessible Metronome App for iPhone?
An interesting note about setting the tempo: a three finger swipe in the tempo picker will move by 8 or 10 bpm instead of just one at a time with a dingle finger swipe.

Re: Installing Mac OS X from USB flash drive
You can but only if your mac does not include an internal optical drive.

It is below. Installing Mac OS X from a USB flash drive This guide will show you how to create a bootable USB flash drive to install Mac OS X. Here are the prerequisites. A USB flash drive that's at least 8 GB in size. The installer and other files take up at least this space. A program called DiskMakerX previously known as Lion Disk Maker available from http://liondiskmaker.com/ The latest version of a supported operating system (Lion, Mountain Lion or Mavericks) available from the Mac App Store. Instructions 1. Download the above two apps listed in the prerequisites. Important! After downloading the latest supported operating system from the Mac App Store the installer opens automatically. Do not proceed since the file will be erased upon the reboot. Instead, press command-q at the first screen of the installer where the continue button has the keyboard focus. 2. Open the DiskMakerX disk image in the finder. It should then appear in the image browser. You can accomplish this by highlighting the dmg file with just arrow keys and press command-o for open. 3. For reasons of better accessibility I then switch to list view with command-2. Copy the only .app file in there and paste into your applications folder. This is accomplished with command-c for copy, command-shift-a to open the Applications folder and command-v to paste. Once copied close all Finder windows with command-w so you're at the desktop and eject the disk image by first highlighting it with just arrow keys and press command-e for eject. 5. Connect the USB flash drive to your mac before beginning the next step. 6. Open the DiskMakerX which should now be located in your applications folder. 7. When prompted that Safari has downloaded this application from the web vo-arrow to the open button and press vo-space to activate. With QuickNav enabled with left-right arrows together you can simply navigate to the open button with left or right arrow keys then press up-down arrows together to activate. Note By VO throughout this guide I am talking about the VoiceOver keys which are control-option. 8. Follow the instructions on the screen. For example when choosing the operating system click either Lion, Mountain Lion or Mavericks button. 9. When it comes to the USB flash drive part choose to have it create as an 8 GB flash drive. You will be warned that all data will be erased so make sure your flash drive is backed up somewhere. Note If you have previously made a bootable USB flash drive you can update the volume here by clicking the appropriate button. Tip Since the application uses appropriate options as default buttons in most cases, pressing return will be enough to move on to the next screen. 10. The preparation and copying will eventually begin. Do not worry about any busy busy busy messages or that the app has no windows. It is just doing its work behind the scenes. Please enter any credentials when prompted. VoiceOver makes a clicking type sound when in password text fields. 11. When all finished, you are invited to either open Start-up Disk preferences so you can quickly change to the newly created or updated bootable USB flash drive and test your creations. You are also invited to make a donation to the developers which is in fact the default button so pressing return will open your browser allowing you to make such a donation. Finally there is a quit button which does what it says; quit the application. Let's then click the open Start-up Disk Preferences button. 12. Interact with the possible start-up disks scroll area, choose your bootable USB Flash Drive by selecting the appropriate radio buttons, stop interacting with the scroll area and click restart button. To interact and stop interact with VoiceOver do one of the following: A. Press vo-shift-down arrow to interact; vo-shift-up arrow to stop interacting. B. Press down-right arrows to interact; down-left arrows to stop interacting. This is assuming QuickNav is enabled with left-right arrows. 13. Click restart button again to confirm you want to restart the computer. 14. Your USB flash drive should now boot up and eventually display the Mac OS X Utilities with the applications table having keyboard focus. How long it takes depends on your USB flash drive. On my Verbatim 64 GB USB flash drive it takes about thirty seconds. 15. To enable the whole operation to talk and output to Braille if you have such facilities requires starting VoiceOver. To do this press command-F5. You may hear a different voi

Re: Accessible Metronome App for iPhone?
Hi, Scott. I downloaded the app and although several of the buttons are unlabelled, the app will do exactly what I want it to do. The app is also free. Another good thing about the app is that it will run while other audio apps are running, provided you launch TempoPerfect last. By the way, the spelling of the app is TempoPerfect. This app meets the bill. Thank you very much and best regards, Mike On 24,Jun,2014, at 11:41, Scott Erichsen wrote: > Tempo perfect is a good one.

Re: more questions about braille displays
I have used the focus display a little bit, but the braille edge is the one I'm getting if I get one. I want to be able to store books on it. The hand-copied thermaform braille is torture. I had to read a book for school once with it, and I litterally had to ask for an extension on the final assignment my fingers were so messed up. I just hope with this new release mac adds some braille options or at least improves some people are unhappy with. thanks for the comments.

But you can often put your cable modem in pass-through mode, or buy a Draytek 120 for DSL passthrough. In the UK, VDSL service is actually supplied in two boxes as standard: the modem, and the router; the modem is part of the national infrastructure, whereas the router comes from the ISP and can be AirPort.

Re: Good iPhone app for recording audio snippets
Hi, Paul, Since I wasn’t looking for a recording app, I almost deleted your message before even reading it. However, I’m very, very glad that I didn’t. I purchased List Recorder from the Austrian app store yesterday and thus far, I am delighted with the app. It was also a real pleasure hearing Neal Ewers once again—a real bonus. In your note, you mentioned that List Recorder recorded in MP3 format. When I went into the settings I was unable to find the setting for MP3 recording rates. Could you let me know, please, if those settings are somewhere, other than the other recording settings where WAV and M4A are options? Another question: I have done virtually no recording with my iPhone 4S. Are the unit’s built-in microphones good enough for decent stereo recordings and, if not, is it possible to use binaural microphones with the unit?

Kind of like an audio scratchpad with looping capabilities. The built-in voice recorder app is not quite up to speed for my needs, but something like that app would work. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "MacVisionaries" group.

Does BRLTTY still run on OS X? It used to work - I remember it was discussed on the BRLTTY mailing list more than once. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "MacVisionaries" group.

Re: Using BrailleNoe With Mac AirQuestions

If someone can point > me in the right direction that would be fantastic. I just started exploring this today. My display doesn't have a braille keyboard for input, so the keys will be different. However, if you invoke VoiceOver keyboard help with control-option-k, you should then be able to press keys, or combinations of keys, on the braille display to find out what commands have been assigned to them. The VoiceOver documentation also lists braille display commands, most involving entering braille characters in combination with the space bar, i.e., as chords, as they used to be called. Special keys, buttons etc., on your display should also be associated with commands. If not, you can use the VoiceOver utility to assign commands to keys as you wish. I hope this helps. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "MacVisionaries" group.
