Problems with Amazon

2024-07-05 Thread Brandon Olivares
Hello,

Has anyone else been having issues loading Amazon pages in Safari? It doesn’t 
really work at all. Any attempt to navigate within the page just makes the 
whole thing appear empty. This just started a couple days ago and I’m just 
curious if others are experiencing this.

Thanks,
Brandon

voiceOver acting strangely with menus on sonoma

2024-05-21 Thread Brandon Olivares
I recently upgraded to Sonoma, and voiceOver is acting strangely with menus. I 
can no longer navigate to a specific menu with a single letter. For instance, 
in Safari I used to be able to press VO-M, then B to get to bookmarks. Now it 
seems to drop down the first menu by default.

Also, sometimes in Safari it just exits out of the menu randomly. I have a 
bookmark buried inside a subfolder and sometimes I can’t get to it before it 
exits the menu entirely.

Is anyone else having this issue? I’m not super impressed with VoiceOver on 
Sonoma.

Thanks,
Brandon

Hi list.  I need to be able to type the Spanish upside down question and 
exclamation  marks.  But I am typing them for learners, so the base of the 
email will not be in Spanish.  SO I don’t think I want to actually change to 
the Spanish keyboard.  Does anybody happen to know how to do this?  I got the 
accented letters, and they are actually pretty easy.  If I have to go into the 
emoji keyboard, I am afraid they are not going to happen in these emails as I 
am just too lazy, and I can probably avoid them.

With Pages and Text Edit, I am facing a strange problem. I prefer to read 
paragraph by paragraph. But whenever Voiceover encounters a page break, it

I have taking this issue to Apple Accessibility and they have not been able to

My Word documents are 300 to 400 pages long. Can anyone please advise?

Weird Behavior in Chrome

2024-01-24 Thread Brandon Olivares
Does anyone use Chrome? I’ve noticed for the last few days that if I am in 
another window and then switch over to Chrome, it makes the sound like the page 
just loaded and puts me back up to the top. It’s been incredibly annoying.

I don’t use it much, but I use it for things like QuickBooks Online that don’t 
work as well in Safari.

Thanks,
Brandon

It’s command-option-N. I find it won’t always place focus in the message when 
you do that, so you might need to tab a few times.

Since with VoiceOver the click event already requires the Control key,

how does one then Control Click an object?

Re: Thinking of Switching to Windows

2024-01-10 Thread Brandon Olivares
I definitely understand. I just think there are fewer and fewer reasons to 
choose Mac over Windows now, especially when the native accessibility has been 
diminishing on MacOS. Most third party apps from the Mac App Store aren’t 
generally very accessible I’ve found. So what’s really the selling point now?

I first started using the Mac because I was sold on the iPhone: I was actually 
able to use a normal smartphone, and it was really the only option out there. 
So I wanted to take full advantage of the Apple ecosystem.

Now there are more options — more competition, so the choice isn’t so obvious. 
Other companies have caught up and Apple is no longer the clear and obvious 
winner for me.

Just my 2¢.

For myself, macOS means lots of different things to me, when it isn't broken, 
but especially Spatterlight, for text adventures AKA Interactive Fiction, and a 
UNIX environment underneath. Of course nothing says I won't ever go back to 
Windoze, but I think Marc has it right—use both platforms to get the best. It 
shouldn't be necessary, and I appreciate that in an age of Apple Silicon it's 
often an impossible choice to make, but if you can, maintain access to both. 
Windows is many things but it certainly isn't a dreamland, either.

Re: Thinking of Switching to Windows

I disagree that Mail is better: I’m currently using Outlook and far prefer it.

I’m also using Teams over Zoom and that seems fine: that supports video as well 
so can replace Facetime.

I can do many things on the Mac that cannot be done on Windows. iMessages and

like Zoom. I did have to relie on Microsoft products for school but it was at

I’m going back to school and they apparently provide Microsoft Office apps for

I thought maybe I should try to use them so that there aren’t any issues

What is the accessibility like in the Office apps for Mac though? I downloaded 
them and so far Word at least seems to be working pretty well.

Any suggestions or thoughts?

Bug in Numbers

2023-12-25 Thread Brandon Olivares
I’ve been experiencing this bug in Numbers for a while now. Sometimes when I go 
into a spreadsheet, I can’t navigate any of the cells. Interacting with the 
table just results in it making an error noise any time I try to go in any 
direction, as if there’s nothing in the document, but there clearly is.

Only if I restart Numbers does it work again, but it keeps happening.

Are others experiencing this? I’ve had it for a while now and thought I’d wait 
to see if it was fixed, but it’s still happening.

Is there any workaround or something I’m doing wrong?

Thanks,
Brandon

Re: Reading Terminal Windows with VoiceOver

2023-12-01 Thread Brandon Olivares
So what’s the benefit of this Terminal screen reader over just using VoiceOver? 
I’ve used the terminal in Mac since I got my first Mac 13 years ago and never 
had a problem with it.

Tables in Chrome in Ventura

2023-09-06 Thread Brandon Olivares
Hello,

I just recently upgraded to Ventura. Ever since then, tables have been acting 
weird in Chrome. Only a few rows will appear to VoiceOver. Hitting VO-down 
arrow will act like it’s at the bottom of the table. I have to hit just 
down-arrow a bunch of times for me to be able to access more rows.

It’s quite irritating. I’m a bookkeeper and so working in Quickbooks Online a 
lot which has a lot of tables. Is anyone else experiencing this issue?

Thanks,
Brandon

Re: Recommendations new MacBook Air m2

2023-08-27 Thread Brandon Olivares
You probably only need 8 GB of RAM. If you have a lot of files I think it’s 
better to go with 512 GB of space at least — I tried 256 GB once and I ran out 
so quickly and kept having to delete stuff. I prefer SSD over hard drives.

Nothing else should matter all that much.

Accessible Way to Create Selective Screenshots

2023-08-18 Thread Brandon Olivares
Hi everyone,

I want to be able to take screenshots but not of the entire screen. If I use 
cmd+shift+3, it takes a screenshot of the whole screen, including some 
background windows, menu bars, and things like that.

Sometimes I want to take a screenshot but only include, say, the contents of 
the current tab in Safari. There’s cmd+shift+4 for that but it doesn’t seem to 
be accessible. I’ve been asking Aira for help with that but I’d love to be able 
to do this myself.

Is there any way?

Thanks,
Brandon

Re: Facebook Mobile Site (Again)

2023-08-16 Thread Brandon Olivares
Thanks, I’m glad I’m not the only one.

I did notice that if I have the Develop menu enabled in Safari, if I choose 
Safari on iPhone as the user agent, it brings me to the mobile site. But it’s a 
different version than usual. If I then switch back to “Automatic”, it takes me 
to the mobile site I’m used to and I seem to be able to stay on it.

I’m not sure if there is an easier way but this seems to be working for now. 
Would like to hear from anyone if there is another way to go about this.

Facebook Mobile Site (Again)

Hello,

I asked a while ago about the Facebook mobile site being down. Then it came 
back for a time.

But for the last several days I’ve not been able to access it at all. 
m.facebook.com just redirects to the main Facebook site.

I’ve not seen anyone else mention this so I’m wondering if I’m alone in this. 
I’ve also not seen any announcements that they’re discontinuing it. Can anyone 
else access the Facebook mobile site?

Thanks,

Woke up this morning, went to the Facebook mobile site as I usually do on my

Is this happening for anyone else? Is there no more mobile version for

2023-08-07 Thread Brandon Olivares
Personally I just use OCR for images or PDFs I need to turn to text. I never 
need to actually scan.

If I did, I think I’d get a picture with my phone and transfer it to my 
computer. I don’t do it enough to need a scanner.

Yes it’s doable; I’ve done it before. You have to select the notifications 
option where you can select what type of notifications you want to receive from 
that channel, and there’s an unfollow option (can’t remember the exact text, 
sorry).

Re: Accessible free hosting

2023-07-26 Thread Brandon Olivares
I think if it were me, and I didn’t already have a website to create a 
subdomain off of, I’d go with one of three possible solutions:

Sign up for a $4 droplet at DigitalOcean. It takes a bit of technical knowledge 
to setup but isn’t all that difficult.
Create an application on platform.sh, which offers a 30 day trial. This 
requires some knowledge of using git though.
If I was really desperate, then I’d temporarily open up my firewall and serve 
it on my own computer, but only if the person I was showing this application to 
was trusted.

The first option would probably be the easiest.

Re: Accessible free hosting

2023-07-26 Thread Brandon Olivares
Please don’t waste your time with free hosting. These days when you can 
literally get hosting for a few dollars a month, I don’t understand why anyone 
would want free hosting. There’s always a catch.

There are lots of good web hosts out there.

Re: Chat GPT, Anyone?

I use it regularly and it works really well, though it has limits. I use it to 
help with writing, sometimes to help with programming, to brainstorm ideas, 
etc. It’s definitely insane how far things have come in such a short time.

BTW you don’t necessarily need the app: there is a web interface as well.

Re: Does making Dropbox folders online only decrease local disk consumption?

2023-07-02 Thread Brandon Olivares
If they’re uploading, then yeah they won’t appear yet on all devices.

If they’re online only, then I think they will default to that on all devices. 
But I’m pretty sure you could opt to download them on a particular device 
without downloading them on all devices.

Not sure what you mean about iCloud Drive. I wouldn’t mix iCloud Drive and 
Dropbox if that’s what you mean. Choose one or the other for particular files. 
Personally I only use iCloud Drive for things like Pages documents, Numbers 
spreadsheets, etc. Everything else goes in Dropbox. I find it far easier to 
navigate.

Re: Does making Dropbox folders online only decrease local disk consumption?

2023-07-02 Thread Brandon Olivares
Yes, I do it all the time to save space. Just mark the folder as online only 
and everything under it should be marked and removed from the disk.

Re: Unable to read tables in Safari

2023-06-26 Thread Brandon Olivares
I get it; I’m a bookkeeper and use QuickBooks on a daily basis and they have 
the same issue on some tables.

Honestly I’ve been using Chrome for more and more of my needs, especially for 
specialized applications like that where Safari just doesn’t do a great job. I 
can’t switch to it 100% as there are still certain things I prefer about 
Safari, but I’m certainly using Chrome a lot more.

Re: Unable to read tables in Safari

2023-06-26 Thread Brandon Olivares
Have you tried Chrome? I just did with that website and while it also doesn’t 
read the table, I was able to tab through and see the show titles. Not super 
convenient but it was workable.

I think it comes down to the design, not necessarily the browser. I just looked 
at the HTML and honestly I’m surprised it would work on Windows at all. It is 
very poorly designed for accessibility. So I think at least some of the blame 
has to go to the designers who create these sorts of controls.

 It would be interesting if anyone can share some site that they experience

Re: Any Thoughts on Quickbooks

2023-06-15 Thread Brandon Olivares
Hello,

I recommend QuickBooks Online. I’m a Certified QuickBooks ProAdvisor trained to 
use the software and it is fairly accessible. I’m a professional bookkeeper so 
use it on a daily basis.

If you’re not comfortable using it though, feel free to pass on my details. It 
does have quite a learning curve. I also offer QB training so feel free to get 
in touch.

Thanks,
Brandon

Wow It Works!

2023-03-14 Thread Brandon Olivares
I thought I had heard that iPhone apps could sometimes run on the Mac but never 
tried it. But I’ve been desperate for a flashcards app for the Mac because I 
really don’t like using my phone that much.

I love Flashcards Deluxe so thought I’d try downloading it on my Mac, and it 
works great! It’s literally the only accessible flashcards app I’ve been able 
to find.

Just thought I’d mention it in case anyone was looking for a good flashcards 
app.

Link Preview in Facebook on Web

2023-03-03 Thread Brandon Olivares
Not sure if anyone else has posted about this, but when I’m on Facebook on web 
(the regular version, not mobile) it’s almost impossible to navigate because 
every time VoiceOver is on some name or other link, it pops up a dialog that 
says “link preview” and it’s really hard to get out of it.

I used to use the mobile version but I can’t click into posts in groups and 
such because it will just give a connection error.

Is anyone else experiencing this, and how have you worked around it?

Thanks,
Brandon

completely. However several websites I’ll only use in chrome, like QuickBooks 
Online for example.

Re: Simple Text Editors

For the Mac, I generally just use TextEdit and it works fine for me. I also 
like to use the Notes app for keeping quick notes I want to refer back to later.

For programming I use PHPStorm. But not sure the type of editor you’re looking 
for.

Thanks, I appreciate the information everyone. It does seem very deliberate on 
Twitter’s part and if they do end up disabling all third party apps like this 
permanently, it might be what pushes me over the edge to just stop using 
Twitter. I’ve been thinking about it for a while anyway.

Issue with Two-Finger Gestures on Trackpad in Monterey

2022-11-25 Thread Brandon Olivares
I just got a new MacBook Pro last month, which came with Monterey (I was still 
on Big Sur on my old laptop).

I’ve been having an issue that I can’t determine is a hardware or software 
issue. I’m thinking software because it only happens with two-finger gestures, 
so I wanted to see if anyone else has run into this.

Basically periodically when trying to perform any two finger gesture on the 
trackpad, it sometimes registers another two finger tap immediately afterwards 
(or sometimes just a one-finger tap).

For instance when trying to use two-finger tap to pause speech, sometimes it 
registers twice and so speech isn’t paused. Or when flicking down with two 
fingers to read all, sometimes it registers another two finger tap (or a one 
finger tap) immediately afterwards, which often causes me to lose my place in 
what I’m reading.

It’s been pretty annoying to say the least. I can otherwise use the trackpad 
just fine. I can flick, double tap, use three finger gestures, etc, all fine. 
It’s only when two fingers are used that I encounter this issue.

Is this a Monterey issue? Any suggestions on getting it fixed?

Thanks,
Brandon

Can't Authorize Audible

2022-11-04 Thread Brandon Olivares
Hello,

I just got a new MacBook Pro and am now on Monterey (10.6.1).

I can’t seem to authorize Audible. I open the book, click yes to authorize, and 
it redirects me to Audible. I click activate, and it opens books again but 
nothing happens.

Has anyone else experienced this? I’m not sure how to authorize Audible so I 
can read my book.

Thanks,
Brandon

Transfer Only Part of a User Account?

2022-11-02 Thread Brandon Olivares
I’m getting a new MacBook Pro tomorrow and want to know if there’s a way to 
transfer only part of a user account?

When I got this computer, my Documents folder was accidentally deleted and 
really messed up my configuration. I wanted to make sure I could start with a 
proper configuration on the new MacBook Pro and just transfer over things like 
my applications, settings, etc.

Is this possible somehow?

Thanks,
Brandon

Music Shuffling by Group

2022-09-16 Thread Brandon Olivares
I've been noticing that when I shuffle in the Music app, it sometimes (not 
always for some reason) groups them by group. I've looked through the info tabs 
of the songs it's doing this for and can't see any difference between those and 
ones it's not grouping. I listen to mostly classical music so it groups 
together a lot of symphonies and such.

In the menu, the shuffle is set to song, not group.

Is there a way of disabling this altogether?

Thanks,
Brandon

Re: Creating Screen Recordings on Mac

2022-08-04 Thread Brandon Olivares
Thanks. No I only need my microphone 
recorded.

Should I put the window into full screen mode to make sure nothing superfluous 
is being recorded? I'd rather not have other application windows showing up in 
the recording if I can help it.

Thanks,
Brandon

Creating Screen Recordings on Mac

2022-08-04 Thread Brandon Olivares
Hey everyone,

I'm trying to figure out how to perform screen recordings on the Mac. I know 
cmd+shift+5 brings up the options but I'm not sure how to configure it. I need 
to do a recording in Chrome, with audio enabled.

I'm not sure whether to select to record the whole screen, or how I can just 
select to record the Chrome window. I selected “record selected portion of 
screen” but couldn't see how to select anything.

Any tips would be appreciated. I'm trying to create a YouTube video 
demonstrating how to use something. If there's a better way I should be going 
about this, please let me know.

Thanks,
Brandon

There's a great online service I use called OnlineOCR

it, and this you can pay for a number of pages and just upload your document 
and download the result.

Re: Terminal and voiceover

2022-06-26 Thread Brandon Olivares
I'm a programmer so I spend lots of time in the Terminal. I've never had any 
issue with it. Sometimes VoiceOver won't read every single line, but before an 
important operation where I want to read all the output, I press cmd+K to clear 
the screen and so the only output is from the next command I type. That tends 
to help.

Re: Trying to run Applet to make Wordle accessible, how do I modify the URL when creating a new bookmark

2022-01-30 Thread Brandon Olivares
I use an app called TextExpander which expands keyboard abbreviations into 
longer text. I took the JavaScript from that accessible Wordle site and made it 
into a snippet in that app. Then I just make it paste into the address bar when 
I'm on the Wordle page and that works perfectly.

I think there's also a shortcuts option in system preferences that might work 
the same way.

Re: Slack and Voice-over, Can anyone help please?

2021-10-08 Thread Brandon Olivares
Not sure when you started using it, but I literally just started noticing this 
issue earlier this week. Before then, it worked great: no interruptions in 
speech at all. I’ve been thinking of asking about it on this list as well.

The web version works pretty well if you want to try that. I’m hoping whatever 
bug there is in the desktop app gets fixed. Not really sure if it’s worth 
reporting or even how I would do it.

Safari Busy

2021-08-13 Thread Brandon Olivares
Hi,

Safari has been freezing a lot. Often when I just open a new window, it’s hard 
to navigate anywhere because Safari keeps saying it’s busy. Also in any window, 
if I just press cmd+l to get to the address bar, it often freezes.

Does anyone else have this issue? I’m on Big Sur.

Thanks,
Brandon

Issue with Playlists on Music

2021-06-20 Thread Brandon Olivares
I’m having an issue in the Music app on my MacBook Pro. A lot of my songs are 
not appearing on my computer, though they show up on my phone. They were added 
to my library from Apple Music.

I thought maybe it was an issue with the network, as I was just on vacation. 
But I just got home and so am now on my home network and it’s still not 
updating.

It’s causing one of my playlists to not show up at all, and I can’t figure out 
how to resolve it.

Also sometimes when I’m looking through my lists of playlists, I get this error:

Genius results can’t be updated right now. An internal server error occurred.

Any idea what’s going on here?

Thanks,
Brandon

That’s exactly how you do it. After reading the character it should say 
“selected”, which means you’ve selected that character.

TextExpander Problems

2021-02-18 Thread Brandon Olivares
Does anyone here use TextExpander?

It’s worked fine for years, and now just yesterday I upgrade it, and now it 
barely works.

In the app, it keeps popping up a menu that I can’t seem to get out of, the 
menu contains things like “disable expansion”, “new snippet”, “preferences”, 
“sign out”, “quit”, etc. If I hit escape, sometimes it works, but sometimes it 
doesn’t. But the moment I navigate with the trackpad, or hit VO-right or left, 
the menu pops back up.

Also actually typing a snippet is all but impossible, if it contains a fill-in 
field. That same menu pops up, and I often can’t get out of it.

I contacted support but they don’t immediately know what the problem is. Has 
anyone else used this app on the Mac?

Thanks,
Brandon

Re: this freaking touchbar is the worse gimmick I have come across

2021-02-03 Thread Brandon Olivares
Honestly I enjoy the TouchBar. I don’t use it a lot but I do find it helpful 
occasionally.

Just a tip, if it stops responding, restarting VoiceOver can sometimes help, or 
switching out of and back into the application you’re in.

Also, I thought I heard Touch Bar is being discontinued, so you may not have to 
deal with it for long.

Re: Announcing indentation

2021-01-18 Thread Brandon Olivares
As far as I know, there is no way. I’m a professional developer and have never 
found a way to get VO to announce the indentation.

Nine times out of ten I really don’t need to, since my editor takes care of 
indentation automatically. But if I do need to check, I just put the cursor at 
the first non-space character of the line, then press down-arrow and see if 
it’s still at the first character. If right arrow announces a space, then I 
know there’s another level of indentation. But again this hasn’t been a big 
issue for me.

Re: Flash card app?

2021-01-11 Thread Brandon Olivares
If you’re OK with just iPhone, Flashcards Deluxe is the best app I’ve found. It 
syncs with Dropbox, has simple text import via tab-separated values, supports 
spaced repetition, and is really easy to use. The apps author is very 
responsive as well.

I’ve never found an accessible flashcards app for the Mac. Anki is useless 
unfortunately, which is what most people use.

I haven’t used it for years, but it used to not be too bad. But I far prefer 
ConvertKit, it’s generally very accessible and it has far more features.

Re: Amadeus Pro insertion point question

2021-01-04 Thread Brandon Olivares
Hi,

Yeah you’re right, but I sync the two heads quite a bit as I find it easier 
that way. CMD+Y = move insertion point to play head, and CMD+shift+Y = move 
play head to insertion point. So I find the place I want with the play head, 
then move the insertion point there. Or if I’m at a certain insertion point and 
I play ahead to see where I am, I can jump back to the insertion point by 
moving the play head there.

Works for me. No idea if this is how most people do it.

No pressing the arrow keys won’t make any noise. Generally I press space to see

Sounds like maybe a remote resource, like a remote script or something, might
