An Overview of iOS 8's New Accessibility Features – MacStories
Thought the below article might be of interest to some on the list. http://www.macstories.net/stories/an-overview-of-ios-8s-new-accessibility-features/ An Overview of iOS 8's New Accessibility Features Since this year's WWDC keynote ended, the focus of any analysis on iOS 8 has been its features -- things like Continuity, Extensions, and iCloud Drive. This is, of course, expected: iOS is the operating system that drives Apple's most important (and most profitable) products, so it's natural that the limelight be shone on the new features for the mass market. As I've written, however, the Accessibility features that Apple includes in iOS are nonetheless just as important and innovative as the A-list features that Craig Federighi demoed on stage at Moscone. Indeed, Apple is to be lauded for their year-over-year commitment to improving iOS's Accessibility feature set, and they continue that trend with iOS 8. Here, I run down what's new in Accessibility in iOS 8, and explain briefly how each feature works. Alex. Apple is bringing Alex, its natural-sounding voice on the Mac, to iOS. Alex will work with all of iOS's spoken audio technologies (Siri excepted), including VoiceOver, Speak Selection, and another new Accessibility feature to iOS 8, Speak Screen (see below). In essence, Alex is a replacement for the robotic-sounding voice that controls VoiceOver, et al, in iOS today. Speak Screen. With Speak Screen, a simple gesture will prompt the aforementioned Alex to read anything on screen, including queries asked of Siri. This feature will be a godsend to visually impaired users who may have issues reading what is on their iPhone and/or iPad. It should be noted that Speak Screen is fundamentally different from Speak Selection, which only reads aloud selected text. By contrast, Speak Screen will read aloud everything on the screen -- text, button labels, etc. Zoom. Apple has made some welcome tweaks to its Zoom functionality in iOS 8. The hallmark feature is users now have the ability to specify which part of the screen is zoomed in, as well as adjust the level of the zoom. In particular, it's now possible to have the virtual keyboard on screen at normal size underneath a zoomed-in window. What this does is makes it easy to both type and see what you're typing without having to battle the entirety of the user interface being zoomed in. Grayscale. iOS in and of itself doesn't have themes like so many third-party apps support -- and even like OS X Yosemite's new dark mode. iOS does, however, support a pseudo-theme by way of Invert Colors (white-on-black). In iOS 8, Apple is adding a second pseudo-theme to the system with Grayscale. With this option turned on, the entirety of iOS's UI is turned, as the name would imply, gray. The addition of a Grayscale is notable because it gives those users who have issues with colorized display -- or who simply view darker displays better -- another way to alter the contrast of their device(s). Guided Access. The big addition to Guided Access is that Apple is leveraging its own new-to-iOS-8 Touch ID developer API to enable users to be able to exit Guided Access using their scanned fingerprint. This is a noteworthy feature because it effectively guarantees that students (or test-takers or museum visitors) can't leave Guided Access to access the Home screen or other parts of iOS. As well, Apple has added a time limit feature to Guided Access, thereby allowing teachers, parents, and the like to specify the length of time Guided Access is to be used. Especially in special education classrooms, features such as Touch ID to exit and the timer can be extremely powerful in ensuring an uninterrupted learning experience, keeping students on task yet still set the expectation that a transition (i.e., You can play games now, for instance) will take place in X minutes. In terms of behavior modification, Guided Access's new features are potentially game-changing, indispensable tools for educators. Enhanced Braille Keyboard. iOS 8 adds support for 6-dot Braille input system-wide. This feature involves a dedicated Braille keyboard that will translate 6-dot chords into text. Made for iPhone Hearing Aids. Apple in iOS 8 has improved its Made for iPhone Hearing Aids software so that now users who use hearing aids and have multiple devices now can easily switch between them. Moreover, if a hearing aid is paired with more than one device, users will now be able to pick which device they'd like to use. Third Party Keyboard API. This topic (as well as QuickType) is worthy of its own standalone article, but the accessibility ramifications of iOS 8's third party keyboard API are potentially huge for those with special needs. A third-party keyboard on iOS 8. (Source: Apple.com) Anecdotally speaking, I hear from several low vision iOS-using friends who lament the default system keyboard, which is essentially the same keyboard that

To answer yourquestion about using Google Maps, this needs to be install on the phone first. When you open Blind Square, you can search for a location or open your My Places to select a destination. Once this is done, at the bottom of the screen in portrait mode you will hear VO annouce route or something like that. Double tap on this and a new screen will open. This is where you can choose the navigation apps for GPS. The native map will be listed, as well as any GPS apps that you have installed. Just double tap on one of them and the GPS app will open. You then need to use the GPS app as if you had opened it on its own. There are lots to learn about the app. I know that at applevis.com there have been podcasts produce on how to use the app. I would do a search for Blind Square to pull them up. HTH.

Try the grave or accent key instead. This key should be to the left of the number 1 key on the numbers row. Caps lock is hardcoded so it can't be used by anything other than OS X itself.

Re: Good iPhone app for recording audio snippets
Hi Mike, I was wrong. I checked my own message to see if I said list recorder would record in mp3. Yes I said that, but it is not true. I'm sorry about that mistake. All my list recorder files are in mp3 indeed, because I routinely convert them with amadeus pro. I accidentally mixed those 2 things while writing my message. Regarding stereo recordings: there is a setting in list recorder to record in stereo or mono, but that's the only thing I know about it. Not all iphone stereo mikes will work with the list recorder app. I listened to recordings made with iphone stereo mikes, but the few iphone stereo mikes I encountered were not especially great. The noise floor is too high for quiet recordings to call them good. Of course, what you get is okay, like the internal iphone microphone, but with an iphone stereo mike, I was hoping that my recordings would be taken one step further, nnot just by mono becoming stereo, but also in terms of mike noise becoming less of an issue. And that did not happen. If you are used to really high standards quality recordings, as you can make with things like the Olympus ls100 hand held recorder, then no, the iphone will not win you over. But that is usually not what you need. I would say: just try the internal mono iphone microphone, and see how you like it. For most uses, this will really suffice. It has nice highs and good mid range, but not a lot of base. I don't know where the cutoff frequency is exactly, I think it is around 250 hertz, but I'd like it to be lower. Absence of lows is what gives the internal iphone mike its typical sound, which is not always desirable. But in general it's okay. If you understand audio compression, limiting etc, then you will notice over time, that the iphone does a lot of that, and for most circumstances, does it well. With most other recording devices, the recorded audio either clips easily if you turn all processing off, or its compressor is so terribly agressive that the audio is pumping up and down volume wise all the time, which is very tiring to listen to after a while. The iphone by comparison, does a great job there. It has hefty compression, but the outcome is still rather smooth. If you record soft sounds, then you may find the iphone's own hiss a bit much, but even insects are recorded. On the other hand, loud audio is also well recorded, without it even clipping, because IOS processes that audio well. After you know the do's and don'ts of the internal mike, if IOS audio processing in terms of compression does get in your way, and you really need more manual control, then there are audio recorder apps that allow you to turn off IOS processing. But then, you are responsable for the audio recording levels yourself, and especially in the beginning, you will notice that it's not easy to get that right. It takes experience and patience. The recordings you then get though, are worth your effort. Still, everything is mono. Recording in stereo is possible, but as I said, I don't know of an external iphone microphone that fits all our wishes and hopes. At least I myself would like a mike with a low noise floor, one that is not bulky, one that does not force me to use headphones to hear voice over while the mike is pligged in, and I'd also like the audio app I'm recording with, to be voiceover accessible and simple to use. It is possible that such a thing does exist. I just did not come across it yet. Hope this answers your questions. Paul.

However, I’m very, very glad that I didn’t.

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?

Re: inserting an insert
Hi! Here is a post from Eric Caron about changing keys to do what you would like! Colin! I'm pasting the text below from my old message to the list. I cleaned it up a little. This is the information used to change your caps lock key to the VO or Control and Option keys held down together. I also use the added bonus of the caps lock working as the insert key in VM Fusion Running the Jaws screen reader. And, the KeyRemap4Macbook application also creates a built in number pad on the mac laptop and bluetooth keyboard making the num pad commander now more available. This has been one of the best changes I have ever made to my mac. I hope you and others are finding it helpful. Eric Caron info follows: Below I've written out the steps needed to have the Voice Over Keys, Control and Option, mapped to the caps lock key. This allows a Voice over user to use caps lock with keys that might be difficult to reach with the standard Control Option VO keys. In addition this new setting now automatically creates Caps Lock as the modifier in a VM machine. Finally the application creates a number pad on the standard keyboard centred around the letter i. This is a update to my earlier podcast. Takayama Fumihiko, the developer of these applications has changed KeyRemapper4Macbook, making it much easier to set up the computer to use the caps lock as the VO keys. Below I will write out the steps to complete the set up. I will also include a link to a recently completed podcast that walks through the new set up. this is much shorter then the previous podcast as it is much easier to complete the steps. The podcast is 25 minutes long but the last 4 minutes is for those who all ready use the applications and want to update. - Here are the steps needed to have a number pad added to your keyboard, have caps lock work as a Voice Over Key, and have the Caps lock work as the Jaws key or similar modifier in other screen readers used in VM Fusion. Go to the developer web site and download and install both KeyRemap4MacBook and PCKeyboardHack. http://pqrs.org/macosx/keyremap4macbook/pckeyboardhack-usage.html.en Be sure you restart your computer at the end of the install. Now go to System Preferences and to Keyboard. Change the behaviour of the Caps lock key to no action. Now also in System Preferences under Other you will find both PCKeyboardhack and Keyremap4Macbook. go to PCKeyboardhack and in the settings tab in the first table check the box for change caps lock behaviour then interact on the field that currently reads 51. Press enter after interacting, then change the number to 110. This changes the caps lock key to the windows Application key. then close the application Still in System Preferences and in the Other category go to KeyRemap4Macbook. In the Change Key tab move over to the search field and type in blind voice over without the quotes. then arrow right over to the table. Interact and you should be on the correct setting. arrow to the check box and select it. Close the application. The new setting name is Use Caps Lock as Voice Over key. Now if you press the caps lock key it will act as if you are pressing the Control and Option keys. You have the original VO keys to use. as this only changes the caps lock key. Also If you press the FN key and letter i you will find it is a 5 and the rest of the number pad is there. If you turn on num pad commander you can now use the Voice Over controls with this number pad. For VM Fusion users you have another bonus. The caps lock key will now act as the Jaws key if you are using a VM Fusion machine with windows. The Keyremap4macbook application can be used instead of sharp keys or the VM fusion key settings. they should not be used to try to control the same keys at the same time. The Keyremap4macbook needs to be version 7.8.17, or later. In VMware Fusion, the Help key will be interpreted as Insert Key. As this is often the screen reader modifier in Windows screen readers it will now work as the caps lock key. for more information here is a helpful link. http://kb.vmware.com/selfservice/microsites/search.do?cmd=displayKCexternalId=1001675 Here are the steps to update KeyRemap4Macbook if you followed the original podcast and used the Private XML. this is only for those who Please remember this is donation supported. You will find the donation link at the same location you downloaded the applications.

Re: iCloud and Mail on Mac
iCloud aliases always accept email and messages addressed to them are always dropped into your mailbox, filtered or forwarded according to your rules. Mail.app lets you pick the default alias from a list, just like on iOS. Folders are IMAP, so they're shared across platforms and devices. If you want to file stuff locally, that's up to you to do, manually or with rules, but in which case they become unavailable elsewhere than the device they're stored on.

Re: Deleting songs from I Cloud does it delete them for good?
If you just delete tracks from iCloud, they are hidden from iCloud. They remain in your Purchases list. To get rid even of purchases, use iTunes on the Mac to go to Purchases and then choose Not on this computer and hide each item. You hide items by routing the VO cursor to the button in the group several times until you hear button spoken twice, then left-click it. Answer the prompt. Same applies to apps and other things, BTW. I no longer need to maintain apps in my iTunes library, because I've hidden all the cruft and can now easily get just what I need. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups MacVisionaries group.

On Jun 28, 2014, at 2:15 AM, Nicholas Parsons mr.nicholas.pars...@gmail.com wrote: Thought the below article might be of interest to some on the list. http://www.macstories.net/stories/an-overview-of-ios-8s-new-accessibility-features/ An Overview of iOS 8's New Accessibility Features Since this year's WWDC keynote ended, the focus of any analysis on iOS 8 has been its features -- things like Continuity, Extensions, and iCloud Drive. This is, of course, expected: iOS is the operating system that drives Apple's most important (and most profitable) products, so it's natural that the limelight be shone on the new features for the mass market. As I've written, however, the Accessibility features that Apple includes in iOS are nonetheless just as important and innovative as the A-list features that Craig Federighi demoed on stage at Moscone. Indeed, Apple is to be lauded for their year-over-year commitment to improving iOS's Accessibility feature set, and they continue that trend with iOS 8. Here, I run down what's new in Accessibility in iOS 8, and explain briefly how each feature works. Alex. Apple is bringing Alex, its natural-sounding voice on the Mac, to iOS. Alex will work with all of iOS's spoken audio technologies (Siri excepted), including VoiceOver, Speak Selection, and another new Accessibility feature to iOS 8, Speak Screen (see below). In essence, Alex is a replacement for the robotic-sounding voice that controls VoiceOver, et al, in iOS today. Speak Screen. With Speak Screen, a simple gesture will prompt the aforementioned Alex to read anything on screen, including queries asked of Siri. This feature will be a godsend to visually impaired users who may have issues reading what is on their iPhone and/or iPad. It should be noted that Speak Screen is fundamentally different from Speak Selection, which only reads aloud selected text. By contrast, Speak Screen will read aloud everything on the screen -- text, button labels, etc. Zoom. Apple has made some welcome tweaks to its Zoom functionality in iOS 8. The hallmark feature is users now have the ability to specify which part of the screen is zoomed in, as well as adjust the level of the zoom. In particular, it's now possible to have the virtual keyboard on screen at normal size underneath a zoomed-in window. What this does is makes it easy to both type and see what you're typing without having to battle the entirety of the user interface being zoomed in. Grayscale. iOS in and of itself doesn't have themes like so many third-party apps support -- and even like OS X Yosemite's new dark mode. iOS does, however, support a pseudo-theme by way of Invert Colors (white-on-black). In iOS 8, Apple is adding a second pseudo-theme to the system with Grayscale. With this option turned on, the entirety of iOS's UI is turned, as the name would imply, gray. The addition of a Grayscale is notable because it gives those users who have issues with colorized display -- or who simply view darker displays better -- another way to alter the contrast of their device(s). Guided Access. The big addition to Guided Access is that Apple is leveraging its own new-to-iOS-8 Touch ID developer API to enable users to be able to exit Guided Access using their scanned fingerprint. This is a noteworthy feature because it effectively guarantees that students (or test-takers or museum visitors) can't leave Guided Access to access the Home screen or other parts of iOS. As well, Apple has added a time limit feature to Guided Access, thereby allowing teachers, parents, and the like to specify the length of time Guided Access is to be used. Especially in special education classrooms, features such as Touch ID to exit and the timer can be extremely powerful in ensuring an uninterrupted learning experience, keeping students on task yet still set the expectation that a transition (i.e., You can play games now, for instance) will take place in X minutes. In terms of behavior modification, Guided Access's new features are potentially game-changing, indispensable tools for educators. Enhanced Braille Keyboard. iOS 8 adds support for 6-dot Braille input system-wide. This feature involves a dedicated Braille keyboard that will translate 6-dot chords into text. Made
Re: multiple computers sharing the same iTunes library?
Hi, Yes, only one computer can be in the library at a time. There is data being written back and forth within the database while iTunes is running thus, only one user can have write access at any given time. My best suggestion for getting around this is with an iTunes Match subscription. With iTunes Match, all your music is placed up in iCloud as well as the ability to keep it local. You are allowed 25,000 songs as part of your subscription, but any iTunes purchased or matched songs don't count towards that 25,000. Now, there are two things that would make this not a desirable solution for some. Rirst, you must pay an annual subscription fee of $25 to $30 depending on your country of residence. Second, it only handles music, not your movies and/or TV shows. Using a combination of iCloud and Home Sharing can usually help work around this though. Later...

I am asking here because many of the alternatives are not very accessible if at all. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups MacVisionaries group.

Most commonly used keystrokes
Hi, I recently acquired a MacBook Pro about two months ago. This is my first time using a Mac, what are the most common Lee used keystrokes? I know there is a list of them on the Internet, but I would like to know what are your personal most commonly used keystrokes. If you can list what they are and what the keystroke is I would really appreciate it. This would help me learn how to use the Mac. I just updated the laptop to Mavericks yesterday.

Re: Most commonly used keystrokes
Hi. Well, I'm sure that everyone will have different responses to your question. First and foremost, I'd encourage you to use Voiceover's keyboard help mode, similar to the mode found in Windows Screen readers. Control-option-K or VO and K turns it on; escape turns it off. In this mode, you can press keys to find out what they do, including keys for Voiceover. When I was first learning how to use the Mac, I used this mode to try out any combination I could think of. As an example, try pressing vo A, vo B, Vo d, etc. to hear voiceover describe the function of that particular hotkey. Also, try using other modifier keys along with the VO key, such as vo shift D, vo command left arrow, etc. I also use quicknav a lot while reading, which lets you move around with arrow keys without the need to hold the ctrl and option keys. Press left arrow and right arrow simultaneously to turn it onn; remember to turn it off while you're writing text on the Web, such as when entering your name and password on a Web site.

I really like this app. In summary, I trust it. It's never failed me yet. Now, when you initially purchased it, it will cost you around one dollar. After that, for the voice guidance, you need to subscribe annually. It costs either nine or $10, depending on whether you want automatic subscription updates or not. I prefer the manual route, since I can control the updates. After all, there may be one that is in excess will. That hasn't happened yet. Make sure you get the app called motion X GPS Drive. There is another one called motion GPS and that is not accessible. I do like BlindSquare in combination with Google maps, but I find motion X to be my favorite commercial GPS application. One thing I like about it is you can insert stops along your route. I did this recently when our son needed to be picked up at the train station. We were going to someone's house for dinner, but we pick up our son first and I was able to insert this into the route before going on to the individuals home. That's a really nice feature. Anyway, I think you will like the app, but if you have more questions feel free to ask. Getting to the menu can be a little tricky, but I learned it is at the bottom right of the screen. Once activating the menu, you can choose all the relevant options and they work fine. Good luck.

Re: Most commonly used keystrokes
Hi, I have been using that keyboard help. My intention was to get different keystrokes from different people. Thanks for the tip regarding quick nap, I didn't know that.

Well, I'm sure that everyone will have different responses to your question. First and foremost, I'd encourage you to use Voiceover's keyboard help mode, similar to the mode found in Windows Screen readers. Control-option-K or VO and K turns it on; escape turns it off. In this mode, you can press keys to find out what they do, including keys for Voiceover. When I was first learning how to use the Mac, I used this mode to try out any combination I could think of. As an example, try pressing vo A, vo B, Vo d, etc. to hear voiceover describe the function of that particular hotkey. Also, try using other modifier keys along with the VO key, such as vo shift D, vo command left arrow, etc. I also use quicknav a lot while reading, which lets you move around with arrow keys without the need to hold the ctrl and option keys. Press left arrow and right arrow simultaneously to turn it onn; remember to turn it off while you're writing text on the Web, such as when entering your name and password on a Web site.

Re: Alternative to Skype
Teamtalk which is widely used, has a Mac client, but the Mac client is unfortunately not all that accessible.

Re: Blind Square - help getting started please
Hello! I'm developer of the app. BlindSquare really doesn't need built-in turn-by-turn, since it is always better if user can use best-of-best. It varies by the location, if TomTon, Navigon, Google Maps or Apple Maps is better than the other, so it is really the best choice to give user freedom to pick the one he/she likes. Luckily Apple provides their turn-by-turn also to 3rd party app developers, so some day I'll add that as a built-in choice. Possibility to use 3rd party apps doesn't go away and since Apple provides this option for free, it will not affect price of the app. Br, Ilkka On Sat, Jun 28, 2014 at 8:06 PM, Anders Holmberg and...@pipkrokodil.se wrote: Hi!

Using a signature in mail from the all signatures table. Is this possible?
Hi all, How do you tell mail to move a signature from the all signatures in apple mail so that I can use it in one of my accounts. I have a signature that I want to use for my gmail account. Is it possible to tell mail that you want to use it? When I try to move it to my gmail account I am unable to do so. If I try to select from the popup to tell gmail what signature I want to use for my gmail account, I have no option except none. Do I need to remove the signature and recreate it or is there another way? Thanks. Matthew -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups MacVisionaries group.

Re: iCloud and Mail on Mac
The default sending alias on both Mac and iOS are separate? Meaning I can set the Mac to one and on the iOS set it to the other alias? For receiving, both will be fine on the Mac. But I don't want to receive mail sent to both aliases on the iPhone? I cannot change that? As to folders, yes I got that idea. My question was, once I am ready to use the Mac for emails, I can move my local folders into the iCloud account on Windows. Then on the Mac, when they have all showed up, can I simply move those folders and keep the folders or will I need to create new folders in the Mail app and then move the emails? I like IMAP for getting mail on all devices and like to move certain ones to local folders so they are safe and keep the IMAP folders cleaned up. Quote of the nanosecond . . .

Re: iCloud and Mail on Mac
Yes, you can have different default aliases on Mac and iOS. You can't change that both addresses deliver to the same mailbox; you'd have to create a separate iCloud account. Alternatively, filter the mail on your Mac or in iCloud such that mail for the other aliases goes into a folder. You can't copy folders, but you can copy messages. So, you create folders under On My Mac with the same names and structure as your IMAP folders, and then move messages from corresponding remote folders to your local folders of the same names, and finally delete the empty IMAP folders.

Re: Silly Question: Flash
Hi, I'll ask a silly question as well. What is Flash Five? I've got Flash Player 14 installed which, I've understood to be the newest. Is there something I'm missing? As of a couple of weeks ago when attending an Adobe Connect meeting, which uses Flash, it was not accessible. You could get lucky and memorize tab presses, arrow key presses and return key presses to survive but I didn't have good luck with VO actually recognizing controls. Playing Flash content usually is fine but manipulating controls tends to be out of reach for me. Again, if there's something I've misunderstood or am doing incorrectly, I'd be very interested to find out. Later...

Re: Using a signature in mail from the all signatures table. Is this possible?
Hi, I've yet to figure out how to do this using VO. In the sighted user world, they just drag the signature from one table to the other and life is good. VO doesn't seem to be able to manage that properly. I've worked around it by copying the text of the specific signature, going back to the All Signatures table, navigating to my desired account, pressing the Add New Signature button, pasting the text and giving it a name for the specific Mail account. Certainly not the most efficient way to work, but it's the best I can offer at this time. Later...

Re: iCloud and Mail on Mac
Ok, thanks for that, I will probably change my strategy on the one alias, perhaps keep one gmail address. That might work better for me rather than a 2nd iCloud account. The fokder thing, good too.

Re: Urgent! Dropbox selective sync with voiceover
I use selective sink and I can tell you that you will need sighted assistance. Even with limited vision and magnification on it is very difficult for a vision impaired person to find those checkboxes and check them there's no audio feedback whatsoever. Again, you will definitely need sighted assistance on this one. A sighted person will see right away what needs to be checked. The checkboxes are to the left of the folder name. But, voiceover is for all the way over to the right end of the line and you need to bring the cursor over to the left to get to the check box.

Re: (Solved) Urgent! Dropbox selective sync with voiceover
You have to do this blind, but then what else is new - grin! First, if you haven't used selective sync, I think you assume all boxes are checked by default. First, open dropbox on the computer you want to change - the dropbox directory, that is. See if all folders are there. Take note of what you wish to uncheck or, if you have used selective sync before and have unchecked folders, what you want to check. Click on your dropbox icon in menu extras and click settings and account. For selective sync, do vo-space on change settings. Go to the browser, interact with it and turn on quick nav. Arrow down to each folder and, if you wish, arrow right and down to do subfolders. Don't try to use vo-space; just do space on the ones you want to change. You won't be able to tell what is checked or unchecked, but having checked your dropbox folder you will know what you want to change and can just do space accordingly on whatever needs to be changed. When done, do vo-space on the update button and then do vo-space on update again in response to the alert. Very soon, if not immediately, you should be able to go back to dropbox directory in finder and verify that your changes took place.

Re: Using BrailleNoe With Mac AirQuestions
Sabahattin, I wanted to come back to this and ask you, in what ways you feel that braille support in OS X (and iOS too?) is substandard. When I begin to use my Mac full time, I will connect my braille display most of the time. Therefore I want to be aware of these issues and work around them. Thanks. Quote of the nanosecond . . .

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.

Re: Silly Question: Flash
It's what David says, Flash from Adobe. Don't know what the number is. So put in Google, Flash from Adobe and it should come up. Sorry about the mix up. Kawal.
