Finding highlighted text in Safari with quick notes and VoiceOver

[Brett Campbell]

Hello,

I’m getting around to exploring the new quick notes feature in Monterey. One 
feature is to highlight text on a web page in safari. Once a quick note is 
created, only the link to the site appears in the note. To get to the 
highlighted text, one hits the link, the page opens, and the highlighted text 
appears on the page. I can’t figure out a way for VoiceOver to find the 
highlighted text. Does anyone know how to do this?

Brett

Re: PDF pen question

[Brett Campbell]

I purchased PDF pen with the purpose of being able to read documents within the 
app. I was hoping for a solution to the double line reading I experience in 
Preview. I’ll keep your suggestion in mind, thanks.

PDF pen question

[Brett Campbell]

I am new to PDF pen. When I open a document, it will show there are six pages, 
for example. I’m able to read the first couple of pages, then VoiceOver says 
the remaining pages are blank. When I open the same document in Preview, I’m 
able to read all pages. I’m hoping someone here can tell me what I’m doing 
wrong.

Thank you,

Brett

 Hi all,
 
 Ever since upgrading to WatchOS 8, I am unable to dictate messages.  I can 
 get dictation to start, but I can rarely get it to stop, and I can’t get 
 VO to read back to me what I have dictated, so I can make sure it’s right 
 before sending the message. Anyone have any idea what might be going on?  
 I use the watch for messaging a lot, so this is a major inconvenience.
 Cheers,
 Donna

Re: Notifications

Check your Do Not Disturb settings. Look for the button that says “allow calls 
from”. If you have favorites or another group selected, their texts and calls 
will go through even when you have do not disturb enabled.

Re: bluetooth headphone issue since latest software update

Yes, I periodically have this experience with both my AirPods and Bose QC30. 
Sometimes I have to put my Mac to sleep, turn off the headphones, and try 
again. Sometimes it takes a couple attempts. I started having the same

Thank you Anne  for checking this out for me. Do you think or know if someone 
using jaws etc. would have the same issue? I want to approach the devs with as

Hoping someone can check a web page with VoiceOver

[Brett Campbell]

Hello Mac visionaries,

If someone has a moment to spare, I’m asking you to check out a web page with 
VoiceOver. This page is the locations and hours for the Salt Lake Community 
college Disability Resource Center. There are 3 tabs, Taylorsville Redwood 
Campus, South City Campus and Jordan Campus. I’m told that visually selecting a 
tab shows the info for the campus. I can’t read anything with VoiceOver after 
selecting a tab. I’m wondering if the info isn’t seen by VoiceOver or is there 
a  setting or command I’m not aware of to read the text. The link follows.

Re: Another Dictation Breakthrough

[Brett Campbell]

Hello Mark,

This news is good to hear, yet perplexing. I installed Air Dictate on my phone, 
along with the software for my Mac earlier today. I found the iPhone app to be 
unresponsive with VoiceOver. I couldn't activate the prompt to connect my phone 
with the Mac. With VoiceOver off, sighted assistance performed the connection 
instantly. Following the connection, I activated VoiceOver again. As I felt 
around the screen, it sounded like a keyboard was present, but my borrowed eyes 
said there was not a keyboard present. I managed to find the mic button, and 
completed one dictation. After that, the mic button was allusive, and when I 
managed to come across it, it was unresponsive.
Please share how you found success with this app. I've contacted the dev, and 
they opened a ticket. They said perhaps it can be made VO accessible in the 
future.

Thanks,

Brett C.

Re: Problem in the address book

[Brett Campbell]

It's been my experience that there is no resolution.  I type the phone number 
without feedback, move out of the edit box, then move back.  The number should 
then be read.  You most likely will be able to interact with the edit box to 
make any corrections.

Re: working with the previous recipients table?

[Brett Campbell]

Donna,

The copy last phrase to clipboard is one of my favorite features.  It's helpful 
when traditional copy and paste doesn't seem to work.
When you use control, option, shift C, the last thing VoiceOver spoke will be 
added to the clipboard.  You can then paste the text anywhere you can paste 
using conventional copy and paste.
I find the VO, shift C combination to be a little tricky, so I have setup a 
simpler hockey through the VoiceOver utility.
HTH

Re: working with the previous recipients table?

[Brett Campbell]

Hello Donna,

In both instances, I use VoiceOver's last phrase copy to pasteboard feature, to 
use the address.  I use command N, to start a new message and paste the email 
address.  If you need more information on copy last phrase to pasteboard, let 
me know.

Re: calendar help needed

[Brett Campbell]

I definitely recommend using the VO and arrows to move among the appointments.  
To delete a calendar from the calendar list, select the desired calendar, and 
bring up an options menu, with VO shift M.  You will find an option to delete.

Re: GPS Apps

[Brett Campbell]

Hi everyone,

I just purchased Where to?  My first concern is there is a message selling 3D 
that gets in the way.  I can't find a way to dismiss it.  The message says the 
window will be skipped after purchasing.  If I purchase the 3D just to get rid 
of the message, do you think the 3D will mess with VoiceOver?
I also have a question about the Bus stops.  I'm able to find the stops just 
fine, but I'm not able to get additional information on bus times.  When I tap 
on the more information button, I seem to just get the stop labeled as a map 
pin.  I don't appear to get more information by double tapping the map pin.  
I'm not seeing the Next Transport option Esther mentioned.  I'm also not seeing 
the next or previous menu mentioned.  I'm wondering if the 3D sales pitch is 
getting in the way.  I usually do quite well at figuring apps out, but I'm a 
little stumped here.

Re: Emoticons with VO pronunciation

[Brett Campbell]

I have been attempting to create a labeled pronunciation  for :D for over a 
year, with no luck.  No matter how many times I try, VoiceOver just says D.  
Like you, I can create labeled pronunciations for most everything else.  I'd 
like to hear from you if you find a solution.

Re: Travelreporter GPS milage log

The theory behind this app sounds great, but the few reviews available, are 
less than favorable.  I'd be interested to know if anyone on the list has used

The app is $5 BTW.

Re: Update on SEE Finance

[Brett Campbell]

Thanks for this Les.  I tried See Finance a year or so ago, but couldn't quite 
figure it out.  Following your recommendation, I gave it another try.  I found 
it to be quite accessible and much easier to understand, compared to my prior 
trial.  The application's tools and ease of use make it well worth the $29.99 
price.  Thanks again.

Re: creating groups in apple mail

[Brett Campbell]

This task is actually accomplished in the Address Book application.  You will 
create a group, and then you can add the desired contacts to the group.  When 
composing a message in Mail, you only need to type the name of your group, and 
the addresses will be added.  
Creating a new group my be problematic if you're using Snow Leopard.  It can be 
done by turning VoiceOver off, or something like that.  There are others on the 
list better qualified to describe the process.

Re: pages and the Ipad

[Brett Campbell]

The documents are transferred through iTunes.  One first imports the documents 
into iTunes, and then when the device is connected, transfer the documents to 
the device.  Following this procedure, an additional step is required.  When 
Pages is open, go to documents, and select import documents.  There will be a 
list of the documents that were transferred, and they have to be selected, and 
imported, within the device one by one.  It took a little practice for me to 
feel comfortable with the process.

1password for Mac is now even more accessible

1password on the Mac has just become even more accessible with 
VoiceOver.  It worked great before, but now your individual log ins, wallet

The update is in beta, so if you wish to try it prior to it's official release,

Does the Apple TV need to be connected to a TV?

[Brett Campbell]

Is the Apple TV required to be connected via HDMI to a TV?  I realize it would 
need to be connected to have VoiceOver initially started with sighted 
assistance.  I'm just wondering if one can use it with just the audio connected 
after VoiceOver is on, or is it like the mini requiring a monitor.

Re: adium and stuck in messages list

[Brett Campbell]

I agree, it's annoying.  When I get stuck reading incoming messages, I 
turn curser tracking off with VO shift F3.  This makes it possible for me to 
move back and forth through the messages.  I just have to remember to toggle 
curser tracking back on with the same command.

Text Expander, and it's search snippets feature, help request

I just updated Text Expander to 3.x.  I'm trying to use the search 
snippets feature.  I've set up a hockey, and get an edit box and a label saying 
search snippets.  When I place a word to search in the edit box, nothing seems 
to happen.  I've used VO spacebar and pressed enter.  Has anyone had success

Unfortunately, it's been my experience anyway, the T-mobile site not 
only doesn't work optimally with VoiceOver, it doesn't work optimally with Mac. 
 Sighted members of my household sometimes have to clear the dust from the 
Windows machine to perform certain tasks within our account on their site.

Esther, is there a way to manually arrange the order of the bookmarks in the

Re: iWork: Numbers specifically

[Brett Campbell]

Anne, in regards to your suggestion of using the trackpad to find a cell, this 
does work great.  However, when I locate a desired cell on the trackpad, and 
then use the keyboard to enter data, the focus isn't in the cell I had focused 
on with the trackpad.  Is this your experience?  Are you able to type in the 
cell you located with the trackpad?

Re: mag track pad pairs with macbook pro but not mac mini

[Brett Campbell]

Unfortunately, I've found the bluetooth devices often don't like to play with 
other devices when they are paired with another.  This is often, but not always 
true.  Sometimes they will work if the first device is turned off, or bluetooth 
is turned off.  I think the Magic Trackpad only likes to be paired with one 
device at a time.

Re: Adium problem

[Brett Campbell]

I share the same experience.  It started after the latest update.  I've found 
that if I turn curser tracking off, I can navigate the conversation without 
getting stuck.  I'd rather not have to turn curser tracking off though, I 
always forget to turn it back on.

Re: iDisk not in sync? Need help please.

[Brett Campbell]

Hello Jenny,

I think I have an answer for you.  Go to Mobile Me in your system preferences.  
Select the sync tab, and look for advanced, and select it.  You will see a list 
of your computers syncing with Mobile Me, and a place to select a percentage of 
data change to be alerted to.  Following that you'll see a Reset Sync History… 
button.  Select this button.  You will be presented with the options of 
replacing On this computer with sync info from MobileMe., or Replace All Sync 
Info on MobileMe with sync information from this computer.  If everything is 
how you want it to be on your Mac, I suggest replacing Mobile Me data with the 
data on your Mac.  It may take a while.  I had to do this one time in the past 
year, and it cleared up my issues identical to yours.

Seeking enlightenment in regards to iTunes equalizer

[Brett Campbell]

Hello,

I've noticed that a few list members use DJ apps etc.  I'm hoping someone can 
provide tips tweaking the equalizer settings in iTunes.  I recognize listening 
preferences is entirely individual, so I'm asking that someone explain what 
each setting changes in the sound.  I count a total of 11 boxes to adjust 
settings.  VoiceOver only reads a number along with hertz.  Can anyone explain 
what each box changes in the music or a DVS movie audio track?


Thanks,

Brett

menu with VO M, arrow until you find the heading titled Card, arrow down the 
list of options until you find Make This my Card, and BOOM!  You're on your way.

Re: Exercising and iPod

[Brett Campbell]

It's the strangest thing.  I also couldn't find it in a search, so I googled it 
and found a direct link to it through a couple of reviews.  The links brought 
up a message in the iTunes store saying the app is currently not available in 
the U.S. store.  My   uneducated guess is that the developer is about to submit 
 an update.  It really is great, and an update just came out a week or so ago.  
The developer has been quite mindful of VoiceOver.  I'm guessing it will show 
up soon.

What are the monitor connections on Mac mini and Mac Book Pro?

[Brett Campbell]

What are the monitor connections on the Mac mini purchased March 09, and the 
Mac Book Pro purchased July 09?  I thought they both have mini DVI, but the 
mini DVI to DVI connector that came with the Mac mini doesn't fit in any of the 
slots on the Mac Book Pro.  I'm determining if I need to purchase separate 
accessories to connect them to a TV via HDMI.  Thanks.

Re: Can a mini be connected to a TV and work with VoiceOver?

[Brett Campbell]

As I stated earlier, I'm a novice when it comes to cables.  My early research 
shows that one can purchase a mini DVI to HDMI cable.  For the sighted people 
in the household, the HDMI is supposed to provide better picture quality over 
the VGA connection.  Rumors state that future Macs will move to HDMI, which 
will enable one to transfer picture and sound through one cable.

Re: Can a mini be connected to a TV and work with VoiceOver?

Thanks Wes and Charlie.  Forgive my ignorance, obviously I require a HDMI

I have next to know experience with cable connections.

Re: A mobile Me question

[Brett Campbell]

Yes, it is a service.  When you purchase from the Apple site, or Amazon, you 
are sent a code in the mail.  When you receive the code, you enter it on your 
mobile me account.  I don't know why it's less expensive on amazon, but I have 
purchased it myself with success.  You can also get the $69 price with select 
purchases through Apple.  The price provides Mobile Me service for a year.

Can a mini be connected to a TV and work with VoiceOver?

[Brett Campbell]

Is it possible to connect a Mac mini to a HD TV, and have the mini recognize 
the TV as a monitor, so VoiceOver will be happy?  The TV has a VGA and a HDMI 
connection.  It may have others, but I'm not sure what they are yet.

Re: Acapela voice purchasing [was Re: Where Is Samantha, on the Mac?]

[Brett Campbell]

Mark,

I'm certainly not Esther, but here is a link, in case you don't wish to wait.  
You're looking for Infovox.  In my opinion, Heather is the best of the U.S. 
voices, but they require you to purchase multiple voices as a package.

Trying new Echofon twitter for Mac, I can't read tweets.

[Brett Campbell]

Is anyone on the list trying the newly released Echofon for Mac?  It seems 
quite accessible with VoiceOver, with the slight exception that the tweets 
aren't being read.  I'm wondering if my tweets aren't being downloaded for some 
reason, or if VoiceOver can't read them.  If someone else has taken this 
twitter client for a spin, I'd be interested in hearing about your experience.

Re: Battery status

[Brett Campbell]

You can navigate to this area in two ways that I'm aware of.  You can either 
use the VoiceOver command VO M, pressing the M twice while holding down the 
control and option keys.  The other is a Mac command, control F8.  Use VO plus 
arrow keys to find what you're looking for.

Re: Itunes

[Brett Campbell]

Are any of you using the Genius Mixes feature?  I'm not talking about selecting 
a song and instructing iTunes to create a playlist.  I'm talking about the 
feature that enables iTunes to automatically create various playlists for you 
based on your library and it's online data base.
When I select the Genius Mixes in the source list, and VO right, nothing is 
read by VoiceOver.  The behavior is the same as we experienced with the 
applications source list prior to the previous update.
I have confirmed with sighted assistance that the Genius Mixes playlists are 
indeed there, and apparently they're quite beautiful to look at.  Anyway, my 
borrowed eyes confirmed the situation is the same of the previously mentioned 
applications source list.
I'd be thrilled to hear that it's working for you.  Either way, please let me 
know.

Deleting Twitter direct messages

I can't figure out how to clean up my direct messages in my twitter account.  
Is there a way to do this with Safari and VoiceOver?

Using iChat with facebook Chat

[Brett Campbell]

Do you know that it's possible to use iChat for facebook chat?  I didn't.  
Below is a link leading to  instructions for setting it up.  It's quite simple, 
and it works.  In case you're a little slow on the draw like myself, when the 
instruction in step 4 tells you to enter your user account name, it is not the 
email address used to log in, if that's the method you use.  You need to have 
created your facebook user name.  For example my user name is brettc3.  I don't 
recall whether the user name is created in settings or profile.  The user name 
makes it easier for people that know it, to go to your page directly via URL.  
Anyway, if Adium isn't your thing, here is another option.

Numbers, jumping to start or end of columns and rows

[Brett Campbell]

Is there a way to jump to the start or end of a column or row with VoiceOver in 
Numbers?  I've been using Tables, but I am now giving Numbers a try.  In 
Tables, I can use command along with arrow keys to quickly get to the start or 
end of a column or row.  This doesn't appear to work in Numbers.
In addition to the answer to this question, I would appreciate any helpful 
hints for a beginner, to master this application.


Thanks,

I want to combine two .avi files and burn it to dvd in a way that it will

Re: i pod touch

I don't have details for you, but the battery life on the iPod Touch is much, 
much better than the iPhone.

Re: iPhone synthesiser changing in appstore.

Re: Importing audiobooks into Itunes continued

[Brett Campbell]

I thought the join files option would do the trick.  Another idea that comes to 
mind is going into iTunes, select your created audio book, use command I to get 
info, select options and check the box that says Part of a gapless album.
.  If this doesn't work, I'm wondering if the space between the tracks is dead 
air on the actual file, rather than space between the files.

Message quotes

[Brett Campbell]

Hello,

In many of the messages I read on this list, there are replies with quotes that 
start with the originals senders name, followed by the word wrote, followed by 
a only a selection of the original text, and is often followed by the answer to 
their question.  Are people manually typing the person's name followed by 
wrote, or is there a way to do this automatically?  If there is a way to do 
this automatically, I ask that someone will explain how to do it.


Thanks,

Brett

Help with partitioning a external disc

appreciate any guidance.

Thank you Esther, this is a great link.  I can relax for now.

Question about adding folder to dock with command shift T

[Brett Campbell]

I quite like the add folder to the dock with command, shift, T.  I learned the 
command from this list.  I started wondering what other commands I might be 
missing out on.  I found all kinds of keyboard shortcuts with a google search, 
but I can't find the command, shift, T command.   I also searched high and low 
on my Mac.  Where is this command found?
This isn't imperative by any means, but thanks for indulging me.

Re: weird can't rename contact group in address book

[Brett Campbell]

Hello Yuma,

I just want to let you know I am experiencing the same issues.  I first 
encountered them when I updated to Snow Leopard.  I contacted Apple and they 
confirmed that it is a bug.  I was hoping for a fix with 10.6.2, but not for 
me.  This is a VoiceOver issue.  With sighted assistance, the groups can be 
created and renamed with no problem.
According to other responses to your message, other lucky ones are not having 
this problem.  I just want to let you know that you're not alone in this.

Re: viewing suggestions in spell checker

[Brett Campbell]

I apologize if this is common knowledge.  I just thought I'd mention  
that I like to use the command, shift, semi colin.  This brings up a  
full dialogue that works quickly for me.  VO will highlight the first  
misspelled word and you VO down arrow twice to see the suggestions  
table.  Hit enter on the desired suggestion.  I've experienced that  
sometimes the suggestions table has the word ready to hit enter on,  
and other times I have to interact with the table.
Exploring the spell check dialogue, one will find ignore and learn.   
The learn button will add your chosen spelling to the dictionary.  You  
can hit escape anytime to exit spell check.  If you are presented with  
a misspelled word that you're unsure of, hitting escape will land the  
VO cursor at that word in your document., so you can edit from that  
point.
This spell check feature is available most anywhere there is an edit  
box, Text Edit, Mail, Safari etc.
Nothing new here, just thought I'd elaborate in case someone reading  
this is new to the feature.

Requesting help with creating a new group in Address Book with SL

[Brett Campbell]

Hello,

I'm trying to create a new group in my address book for the first time  
using Snow Leopard.  I can't seem to figure it out.  When I select  
create new group, a group titled Unknown group appears in the groups  
table.  I have selected rename group from the edit menu, but nothing  
seems to happen.  I've hit enter and interacted with the Unknown  
group, but I can't change the name like a file or folder.
In leopard, when creating a new group, a dialogue appeared with a edit  
box for the name along with an OK button.
The funny thing is that It's now simple as can be to create a smart  
group in the address book.  The problem here is that the smart groups  
aren't syncing to my iPhone with Mobile Me.
I'm hoping someone can give this a try and point me in the correct  
direction


Thanks,

Brett

Re: Problems selecting text in E Mails

Hi James,

A really cool feature with SL is that you no longer need to use the VO  
shift to select text in an email.  Give the traditional selecting  
techniques a try that you use in other apps such as Text Editor.
