Hi All,

I am using ABBYY Fine Reader Express to convert a number of PDF
documents to text files, which I will be reading with my Mac as well
as my work PC. I am finding, however, that the RTF files I scan end up
containing objects, such as text columns, which Windows screen readers
do not always seem to handle smoothly. Is there a way to set Fine
Reader to convert to a different formatting, or would I be better off
figuring out how to read through these text columns with JAWS? I've
found that JAWS tends to skip over entire sections of text, presumably
those which are in a different column within the section where my
cursor is focused. Also, does anyone know why Fine Reader shows
duplicate buttons in the screen which asks the user to specify the
destination file type? Thanks in advance!

capslock vs. insert in laptop layout

[Lindsay Yazzolino]

Hi,

I have been using VMWare Fusion with JAWS in laptop layout
successfully for quite some time now, but am currently running into a
slight problem. I have remapped my right command key to insert, and
within JAWS settings configured
insert to serve as my JAWS key. The problem I'm encountering is that
the capslock and insert keys do not always behave the same way. For
instance insert+F9 and capsllock F9 does not perform the same
function. Will I need to establish another key mapping for capslock,
or has anyone found another, better solution? Thanks in advance!

Re: Fusion 5.

[Lindsay Yazzolino]

Where can one find this version on the site? After much digging I was
able to find 5.0, but for some reason VMWare was still trying to
charge me $49.99, the same price it showed for upgrading to
Professional. Is there some trick to receiving the 50% cheaper price?
Is it cheaper to upgrade as opposed to buying a new version from
scratch? If so, perhaps I was on the wrong page, or needed to enter my
license code somewhere so that I'd receive the upgrade price. I'm
currently running version 4. I've found the site to be quite a
nightmare in terms of finding the information I need, and any tips
would be appreciated. Thanks! :)

Re: Shortcuts for text input

[Lindsay Yazzolino]

Hi Andrew, Thanks for the suggestion. This worked well I ended up reversing 
your shortcut setup, using cmd+space for spotlight and control+space for 
switching inputs. ALso I'd neglected to spot the warning message which appears 
when one creates a shortcut which conflicts with another. If I'd noticed this 
earlier, I could  have avoided asking my original question in the first place. 
Thanks!

Re: Shortcuts for text input

[Lindsay Yazzolino]

Thanks, everyone. I am certainly familiar with enabling/disabling shortcuts for 
spotlight and other applications. I just wanted to do my best to ensure that, 
while selecting shortcuts for changing text inputs, I wouldn't inadvertently 
choose key combinations which would interfere with other preexisting 
keystrokes. Andrew, I am going to try your suggestion.

Best,
Lindsay

Shortcuts for text input

[Lindsay Yazzolino]

Hi Everyone,

I am in the process of adding additional keyboard inputs to my Mac (US Dvorak 
and US extended), and am curious as to the shortcuts that others use to cycle 
between inputs. By default, they are command space and command option space, 
but of course the former conflicts with the VoiceOver spotlight command (not 
sure about the latter). I would like to be able to efficiently type 
IPA/unicode, as well as other character sets. THanks advance for any tips!

Lindsay

Signing into iMessages with different Apple ID

[Lindsay Yazzolino]

Hi,

I recently upgraded to MOuntain Lion and am trying to sign into the Messages 
app with a different Apple ID, but cannot for the life of me figure out how to 
sign out of the other ID that I signed in with previously. I checked account 
settings in preferences, and cannot find a sign-out button. Am I missing 
something very obvious? Thanks!

Syncing Google contacts

[Lindsay Yazzolino]

Hi All,

I just set up an MS Exchange account on my iPhone 4 running iOS 5, with the 
intent to sync my Google contacts with those on my iPHone. I enabled both 
calendar and contacts in my account settings, yet when I checked my Exchange 
contacts group, I noticed that only some of my contacts had appeared to sync. I 
checked this again after restarting my phone and nothing  changed. Is there a 
reason why some of my contacts might sync, but not others. Is it possible that 
some of my contacts may be flagged differently within Google itself, preventing 
them from being synced? In particular, some of my newer contacts do not appear 
to have made it to my iPHone. My iphone is set up with iCloud, and 
I also have two Macs, both of which are set up to sync with iCloud and Google. 
I know that syncing configurations can be a bit complicated to explain, so 
please feel free to ask for clarification. Thanks in advance for any 
suggestions!

Best,
Lindsay

MBA keeps locking up/VoiceOVer static

[Lindsay Yazzolino]

Hi Everybody,

I am using one of the newest generation models of the MacBook Air, and have 
been encountering a rather worrisome problem. The Air has begun to constantly 
overheat and lock up, necessitating a system restart each time. In addition, 
VoiceOVer will sometimes become highly distorted, such that it creates 
ear-splitting, screeching static. THis has been happening even when I have been 
running only one or two applications, such as Safari, and the Air is almost 
brand-new. Has anyone here experienced such issues, and know of any potential 
solutions. i'm thinking this may warrant a trip to the Apple Store, but thought 
I'd ask in the meantime. THanks in advance!

Matlab

[Lindsay Yazzolino]

Hi Everyone,

I am wondering if any of you have had experience running MATLAB with
VoiceOver, and could give me any input on its accessibility. I do
research in cognitive neuroscience, and make frequent and robust use
of MATLAB and Excel. I have up to this point been using Windows for
both of these applications, but would like to utilize the Mac
environment if such is practical and efficient. Any suggestions would
be much appreciated. Thanks.

Jumping to pages in Preview

[Lindsay Yazzolino]

Hi Everyone,

I am in the process of reading some multi-paged documents in Preview,
and can't seem to figure out how to quickly jump to a specific page. I
have tried the "go to page" command (command option g), and though
VoicOver announces that it has successfully jumped to the correct
page, it subsequently proceeds to jump to the top of the document once
I interact with text? Using page down seems to help somewhat, though
it seems to scroll down only in small increments rather than
corresponding to the actual pages of the document. Am I missing
something fundamental here? Thanks in advance.

Mac OSX shortcuts interfering with VMWare

[Lindsay Yazzolino]

Hi Everyone,

I am posting this question as a follow-up to a previous post from some
time ago which I had neglected. Since upgrading to Lion, I have
experienced some difficulty with executing commands within VMWare
Fusion which utilize the control key. I subsequently realized that
such a problem might have resulted from launchpad and mission control
default keyboard shortcuts interfering with JAWS commands, so went
about disabling such shortcuts individually in system preferences.
While this has for the most part resolved the JAWS keystroke issues
within VMWare, I've still found a few JAWS keystrokes here and there
not to work properly, all of which require the control key. I'm
wondering if anyone else has experienced similar problems, and whether
there is a more streamlined solution than disabling MAC OSX keystrokes
here and there individually? Thanks in advance!

Re: VMWare and lion

[Lindsay Yazzolino]

Hi Everyone, The problem still persists despite my trying Mike's
suggestions. Whenever I press control + right arrow, the control key
seems to stick and I can only unstick it by hitting it once again by
itself. Does anyone else have any input? This problem is getting to be
highly annoying and now I'm experiencing issues with certain commands
in other Windows applications which require the use of the control
key. Please let me know if there is anything else I should try! Thanks
in advance.

VMWare and lion

[Lindsay Yazzolino]

Hi,

I just installed Lion, and have since been experiencing a rather
annoying problem with VMWare Fusion 4 running JAWS. While in the
virtual machine, the control key seems to virtually stick, such that I
often have to either press the control key again or shift focus away
from the Fusion window in order to temporarily resolve the problem.
Has anyone else experienced this issue? It makes JAWS text reading
commands very difficult to execute, and I'd appreciate any tips.
Please let me know if you'd like me to explain this issue further.
Thanks.

Mac not recognizing VR Stream

[Lindsay Yazzolino]

Hi,

I am attempting to connect my Victor Stream to my Mac after a long
period of not doing so, and although the Stream announces that the
player is connected, the Mac does not seem to recognize the Stream as
a drive. Is there any way of fixing this issue? Thanks.

Hi Geoff,

Thanks for the pointer--yes, I did try this, but still key
combinations such as insert F12 seem to freeze JAWS rather than
execute the correct command, in this case speaking the time. Thanks.

Screwy VMWare key mapping

[Lindsay Yazzolino]

Hello,

I'm sorry if this question has been asked time and time again on this
list, but I'm trying to figure out the best way to map certain Windows
keys on my Macbook using VMWare Fusion with SharpKeys. In particular,
what mappings have people figured out for some of the higher F-keys,
which appear to be overridden by the volume/mute commands for OSX?
Also, is it necessary to hold down the function key whenever one needs
to activate the F-keys, or has anyone here found solutions? Thanks in
advance!

Python

[Lindsay Yazzolino]

Hi Everyone,

I am relatively inexperienced when it comes to programming, and am wondering if 
any of you have had luck programming with Python on the Mac. I believe that the 
Terminal allows for built-in functionality, yet I have also heard that it 
cannot handle certain scripting which I will need to do for work. I downloaded 
the Python IDLE for Mac, but it does not appear to be accessible with 
VoiceOver. Does Windows or another OS work any better? Please let me know if 
you have any suggestions. THanks.

Numbers frustrating the heck out of me

[Lindsay Yazzolino]

HI,
I am working in a cognitive neuroscience lab and need to make
extensive use of spreadsheets. I'm trying to use iWork 8 to open an
Excel spreadsheet in Numbers, but I can't get the darn thing to read
it properly. When I interact with the scroll area, I see three
items--two images and an item labeled "unknown"--not exactly helpful.
Is it worth trying to mess with the Mac, or  would I be best off just
using JAWS and MS Office? Minimal support is not going to cut it, so
if this is all that VoiceOverhas to offer  at this point, I'd rather
not waste energy trying to make it work. Also, for those of you who
are power users of JAWS, do you find that JAWS and VMWare work well
enough, or would you suggest that I use Bootcamp? I currently have
FUsion installed, but before I go to great lengths to remap the keys
to work with JAWS, I want to be sure that doing so is worth my time.
Thanks very much in advance.

Lindsay

Re: Issue with JAWS and VMWare

[Lindsay Yazzolino]

IF I am sure that I am going to repeatedly experience this problem, I
would seriously consider switching to Bootcamp. I would prefer not to
have to partition my drive, and would love to run the Mac OS and
Windows simultaneously, so would greatly appreciate if someone has a
solution.

Issue with JAWS and VMWare

[Lindsay Yazzolino]

Hi Everyone,

A few months back, I installed and authorized JAWS in VMWare Fusion.
After a few months' hiatus from WIndows, I recently tried to use it
again only to discover that JAWS had defaulted to 40-minute mode. Can
I expect for this to happen in the future, and if so, is there a way
to prevent this from happening again? Thanks.

Refreshing the current screen

[Lindsay Yazzolino]

Hi,

Is there a command for refreshing the screen for a web page? I know
that command R refreshes the page, but there exists another JAWS
command (alt escape) which refreshes the current screen. I am having
trouble using the Google Voice web interface, and am wondering if not
knowing this command is part of the problem. Thanks.

Braille displays

[Lindsay Yazzolino]

Hi,

I am using my Mac with a Braille display, and am quite impressed by
its ability to instantly recognize my BrailleConnect without any
configuration on my part. I would, however, very much like to know if
it is possible to make VoiceOver shut up when I want to read with
Braille only. When I read text in TextEdit, VoiceOver will often speak
the word under the cursor when I pan the display, and I'm finding this
rather annoying. Do I need to mute speech, or is there a way for the
active cursor not to follow the display as is the case with JAWS? If I
do need to mute speech, does there exist a shortcut key that I can use
to quickly toggle speech on and off, so that I don't find myself
stranded without speech and no Braille display which I can use to get
to the VoiceOver utility? Thanks in advance for any input.

Frustrations with reading tables

[Lindsay Yazzolino]

Hi List,

I am using Snow Leopard, and, despite its ability to read a greater
number of web tables, I am noticing that VoiceOver still does not
treat certain tables online and in text documents like tables at all.
This is making navigation of certain documents very difficult, if not
impossible, and I am wondering if any of you have encountered the same
problem. If so, is there any solution? Thanks.

Mac crashes in GMail

[Lindsay Yazzolino]

Hi,

I was trying to send an attachment in GMail today, and each time I try
and select the file, Safari shows a "busy" message so that I have to
force quit. Has anyone else had this problem, and have you found any
solutions? I am running Snow Leopard. Thanks.

Lindsay

Re: Spanish Braille tables

[Lindsay Yazzolino]

Hi Anne,

Would it be possible to send you the Braille tables for JAWS? If so,
do you know howI owuld go about doing this? And do you know if they
differ from the Windows tables in terms of how the Mac would recognize
characters? Thanks!

[Lindsay Yazzolino]

Hi,

Is there a way to quickly type Spanish symbols using the Mac? Also, is
it possible to change the writing language of TextEdit to Spanish?
Thanks.

Spanish Braille tables

[Lindsay Yazzolino]

Hi,

I am taking a Spanish course and am wondering if the Mac supports the
use of Spanish Braille tables so that I can read documents with a
Braille display. Thanks.

Statistics packages

[Lindsay Yazzolino]

Hi Everyone,

I am going to be taking a college statistics course this fall and am
wondering if there currently exist any accessible statistics packages
for the Mac or if I am best off sticking with WIndows/any other
operating system. Also, what other methods have any of you used for
successfully completing statistics courses? I am looking forward to
the class, and want to make the best use possible of the tools which I
have at my disposal, especially my MacBook. On a related note, I feel
that I would greatly benefit from learning LaTeX for my math and other
courses, andwould love to receive some pointers about where to get
started.  Thanks in advance for any input, and feel free toat any
point take this discussion off list if you feel that it benefits
statistics students but not necessarily Mac users.

Lindsay
