Dropbox.

[Jesse Bollinger]

Hi all,

Forgive me if this has been asked to death but I'm having a Dropbox problem. I 
installed the app on my macbook but when I open it, it says Dropbox doesn't 
have any windows. There doesn't seem to be a menu to add files. How do you 
actually add a file to Dropbox with Voiceover?

Thanks,

Jesse

Voiceover and Braille.

[Jesse Bollinger]

Hi everyone,

I just wondered if there is a keystroke to mute VO's speech? When I am using 
the braille display it gets kind of annoying to keep hearing wierd text as i 
arrow around.

Thanks,

Jesse

Braille Question.

[Jesse Bollinger]

Hi everyone,

I am trying to Use the Focus Braille Display with Voiceover. I plugged in the 
USB and the mac recognized the display. I rebooted and the status message came 
on the display saying my battery time and such. However when Voiceover starts, 
the display goes blank and just shows the six dot braille cells all over the 
display. Am I missing something? I can control the mac with the display's 
buttons but am getting no braille feedback.

Thanks,

Jesse

iBooks quirk.

[Jesse Bollinger]

Hi all,

Not sure if it's me or a quirk in iBooks. Sometimes when I'm finished 
with a page and I do the flick to the next page it starts reading but 
doesn't seem like it kept the place. For instance if the page ends in a 
middle of a sentense and goes to the next page it doesn't continue with 
that sentense. Also it seems to run some words together. I guess it 
could be the page being messed up in the epub itself though. Just 
wondering if anyone else experiences this.

Hi Jesse,

If you have epub files, you should just be able to add them to iTunes 
(Command-O shortcut for "Add to Library", then navigate the dialogue 
window as you would for Finder and press (VO-Space) the Open button). 
They'll show up under "Books" in your iTunes sources table.  This 
category now holds both eBooks and Audiobooks.  If you want to read 
these on your iPad in iBooks, they'll have to be DRM-free files, and 
you'll need to have the iBooks app -- which is only downloadable if 
your account is with the U.S. iTunes store, according to what I've 
read.  To sync the files you would connect the iPad to your Mac, 
select the device in your sources table, stop interacting, then 
navigate (VO-Right arrow) to the "Books" tab for the iPad, VO-Space to 
press, then check the box to "Sync Books" and either "Sync All" or 
check the selections you want to sync.


If the iPad's apps are like the iPod Touch and iPhone, you should be 
able to double tap the iTunes app, and either select Podcasts and look 
through the selected podcasts in various categories or do a Search and 
type in a particular podcast series.  These downloads are individual 
episode selections, and are separate from the way iTunes on your 
computer handles subscriptions.

2. I know we can sink podcasts from the mac to iPads. Can we use the

Two iPad questions.

Chris Hofstader wrote:


rl: This is rather surprising, that they would do this. Regarding the 
18+ thing, there are apps that won't download unless you consent that 
you are not a minor. Unfortunately, that requires a simple yes/no 
click, but at the same time, it's after your password,  so that's 
some layer of protection...but i don't know. 

cdh: While not related specifically to Apple, the availability of 
pornography to kids versus the availability of books to blind people 
is a real piss off to me.


cdh: When a kid finds a porno site online, the only proof of age is 
typically a button that says, "I swear I am over 18" which has no way 
of verifying the veracity of the person who clicked the button. We 
have a Federal law that makes it illegal to sell porn to people under 
18 years old so, if the person who pressed the button is a liar, the 
site is committing a Federal offense.


cdh: Meanwhile, we have a Federal law guaranteeing books for people 
with vision and other print impairments. To get to NLS, Bookshare, 
etc. we need to jump through hoops to prove that, indeed, we are blind. 


cdh: So, why is it much easier to break one law and follow another?

Subject: Fwd: Apple regulating news and political content???

I got this and thought it would be of  interest to some n the
list.  Not
sure  what I think yet.
Carolyn


   Mark Fiore's job is making fun of political figures. And he's
actually quite good at it, according to the Pulitzer Prize Committee.

   Earlier this week it named him the winner of the Pulitzer
Prize in
editorial cartooning, but Apple rejected an iPhone app containing
Fiore's
cartoons in
   December. The reason? Apple said applications that
ridicule public
figures are not allowed.

   That presents a problem for Fiore, and all editorial
cartoonists and
political satirists who'd like to submit their work to the App
Store for
that matter,
   because, well, that's what they do.

   Luckily for Fiore, the Nieman Journalism Lab took up his
cause and
wrote about his app's rejection. A day later Apple relented, and
on Friday
asked Fiore
   to resubmit. The New York Times reported Friday afternoon
that Steve
Jobs himself called it "a mistake that's being fixed." That's
great for
Fiore, but
   not every political satirist is a Pulitzer winner who can get
publicity for his app's unfair rejection.

   So what does that mean for the future of news or editorial
products
on the iPad and iPhone? It's safe to assume that quashing
political satire
isn't Apple's
   goal here. But it's a legitimate concern for the journalism
community that to be featured on the App Store they have to
submit their
news content to a
   company unafraid to exercise what sometimes seems like
arbitrary
control. The thinking goes, what if Apple finds a headline
offensive? Or
what if there's
   an unfavorable article about Apple itself even? That's not
to say
Apple would do that, but its inconsistent handling of App Store
submissions
sets a troubling
   precedent.

   The rejected-then-unrejected brouhaha surrounding Fiore's
cartoon
app, and others like it--the Mad Magazine artist's Bobble Rep app
comes to
mind--also
   illuminate the central issue facing Apple with the App
Store right
now. The company's decision to tightly control what is and is not
allowed on
the iPhone
   or iPad has led it to develop a review process that is not
sustainable.

iPad Games question.

[Jesse Bollinger]

Hi everyone,

This is a much simpler question than the last one I promise Lol. I was 
looking at the accessible apps on the Maccessibility site and found a 
few that puzzle me. The games Kingdoms Live, Racing Live, and Zombie 
Live sound like they'd be extremely visual to me but are listed on the 
site. Just wondering if it is because the screen can be enlarged for low 
vision or do these games indeed work with VO?


Thanks,

Jesse

iPad help.

[Jesse Bollinger]

Hi all,

I just got my iPad today. I have been able to move through a row of  
apps but how do I move to different parts of the screen? I was in  
iBooks and it kept reading the same section. I couldn't figure out how  
to interact with another part of the screen. This is long-winded but  
I'm not sure how else to describe it. So in short, how do I move  
around the different screen sections?


Thanks and I hope I explained well enough,

Gestures help.

[Jesse Bollinger]

Hi all,

I just started getting into the trackpad gestures with my macbook. I  
read the help and it said to use the rotor by rotating two fingers  
around the pad. I move my fingers in a circle but nothing happens. It  
just moves me across the screen. Is there a trick I'm missing?

Re: pod cast 11, new features of voiceover now available

[Jesse Bollinger]

I also enjoy the new option to read the text to the right. Call me a 
windows bot if you want but after using the evil Jaws for nearly 12 
years now it's just what I'm comfortable with. I'm glad to hear this 
cursor reading wasn't invented by Jaws though so it can't be labeled as 
"VO trying to act like Windows" which must be like the end of the world. 
Lol. Since I got Snow Leopard I've been using the laptop more oftin 
because of quick nav and this cursor feature.

Skype and Voice Over.

[Jesse Bollinger]

Hello everyone,

I find skype very easy to use with VO but I do have a question. When I 
am on Windows it causes my screen reader to shut off when I'm in a call. 
I haven't had a voice chat with anyone using the mac yet. Does VO turn 
off during the call?

Thanks,

Jesse

Voiceover problem.

[Jesse Bollinger]

Hi,

I've noticed a problem in snow leopard. When I go into any program  
with a table, VO starts studdering and keeps saying "Row 1 selected"  
and I have to exit the app in order to stop it from freezing. It  
mainly happens in the sidebar of text edit and in safari. Anyone else  
experiencing this?

Snow Leopard thoughts so far.

[Jesse Bollinger]

Hi,

With everyone giving their thoughts on SL I figured I'd give my two 
cents also. The install went very well and took about 45 minutes. I 
wasn't sure how it would go but everything went on with out a hitch 
which made me very happy. I'm one of those people who no matter how easy 
everyone else has it, I always have problems. So just the fact it 
installed fine was a good sign.

I love the new quicknav mode. It makes navigating a breeze. I haven't 
tried out the trackpad mode all that much. Attempted it a bit last night 
and it seemed unusual but I really haven't played with it yet. I'll 
probably do that this weekend. Overall I'm very glad I upgraded to SL. 
It makes me love the Mac even more than before. I haven't experienced 
any major bugs for those who are worried about upgrading. I would highly 
reccomend it to anyone. It's a great advance in an already awesome OS.

Jesse

Problem accessing menue bar.

[Jesse Bollinger]

Hi all,

Not sure if this is my fault or not. In Leopard if I pressed control  
and F8, I was given the menu bar I think it was called. The place  
where you could check the battery status and the time. Now when I  
press this command I'm not given this menu. Do I need to turn  
something on?

Audiobooks in Itunes.

[Jesse Bollinger]

Hi everyone,

I've been searching for a while but am having no luck with this  
problem. I have a few books in .mp3 format and want to play them as  
audiobooks in Itunes. Is there a way to convert these files to the  
Itunes book format .m4b?

Thanks,

Jesse

Voice Over and reading IM messages.

[Jesse Bollinger]

Hi all,

I just installed Adium and it's a blast. However I have a little  
problem. Everytime someone sends me a new message, I have to use the  
VO right arrow command to go through all the previous messages to get  
to the new one. Is there a quicker way to reach the last message in  
the window?

Thanks,

Jesse

Probably a simple question.

[Jesse Bollinger]

Hi all,

This is probably really simple but after reading the help I still  
can't seem to get it to work. I am reading a text file or webpage and  
lose my place. The VO help says you can search for text using the VO f  
command. I do that and hit enter and VO says the word and that it is  
highlighted. So I assumed it found the first instance of that word. I  
navigate to the HTML content area but it has placed me at the  
beginning of the page. I tried the go to next VO g command with no  
luck. Am I doing something wrong? Or does the find command not take  
you directly to the word or phrase you searched for on the page. Sorry  
this was a bit long-winded.

Thank you,

Jesse

Strange Itunes problem.

[Jesse Bollinger]

Hi all,

I'm having a wierd problem with Itunes. I've subscribed to some  
podcasts and want to listen to them. The sources table informs me I  
have two podcasts available. I tab over to try and get to the song  
table to choose them but Voiceover goes from sources to search back to  
sources. I have the same problem in the music section as well. Oddly  
enough, it doesn't happen with tv or movies which are empty. I have  
the latest version of Itunes 8.2. Any clues?

Thanks,

Jesse

Hi all,

Forgive me if this has been covered before but I can't find an answer to 
it. I've subscribe to podcasts but can't figure out how to cycle through 
them after I have done so. I go to the sources table and choose podcasts 
but can't seem to find out how to switch between specific podcasts. All 
I can do is play the first eppisode of the first cast in my list by 
hitting play. Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks,

Jesse
