Re: Copying the contents of a pdf file into textedit

2015-04-01 Thread Maria and Joe Chapman
HI.

with mavericks at least I am able to open a pdf file in preview, press command 
a and then command c to copy it to the paste board.

Not sure if this can still be done in Yosemite.
Cheers

 I don’t know of a way to select text in a pdf, but I can tell you how to get 
 all of the text into rtf or plain.
 The easiest way is to create an Automator workflow like the following.
 
 1.  open Automator and choose the services template.
 2.  Interact with the work flow area and set the service to have no input and 
 to only work with Preview.
 3.  Add the following actions to the work flow: run apple script, get 
 specified finder items, and extract pdf text.  You want them in that order.
 4.  Interact with the run apple script action and enter the following in the 
 input field:
 on run
 tell application “Preview”
 path of document of front window
 end tell
 end run
 5.  Interact with the extract pdf text action and configure it to output 
 plain text or rtf as you prefer.
 6.  Save it.
 
 That should get the job done.  It should also show up in the services menu of 
 Preview.  I’m sure you can think of ways to fine tune this idea to better 
 meet your needs.
 Note that I have found that the extract pdf text action doesn’t seem to work 
 with multi lingual pdfs for some reason.

 The subject says it all.  
 When in the pdf viewer, how do I select text?  I tried cmd+a which didn’t do 
 anything.  
 
 The next question is how to add textedit to the services menu in pdf viewer?
 
 TIA

 Hi Gabriel,
 
 I paste the list of keystrokes right underneath this e-mail. 
 See the answers below your questions:
 
 I didn’t know about the K and shift+K keystrokes, but what is the 
 differences between K, shift+K and E?
 
 E gives you just a preview of the cut you haven’t done yet. K and Shift + k 
 let’s you hear one second before and one second after the insertion point. 
 That’s the way you can get to know where the insertion point exactly sits.
 
 Moreover, is there a way to have a Voiceover feedback of the position in 
 second for the insertion point and the play head?
 
 There’s a clock in the toolbar which shows the position of the … I’m not 
 quite sure but I beleive it’s of the insertion point. Please try it out and 
 you’ll see wether it’s of the insertion point or the playhead. I could 
 recommend to set a hot spot there. Unfortunately it’s not always reliable in 
 terms of the chosen audio track.
 
 
 Another question: if I must cut out the ending of a very large file, How can 
 I move the play head till the end in order to play it backward and find the 
 starting of my cut ?
 
 
 Sorry, I didn’t get what you meant.  I find it not recommendable to use the 
 playhead to move while audio is highlighted. But if there is something 
 highlighted, you can use a / s and d/ f to change the edges of the 
 highlighted part. If you changed it press e to hear wether it’s OK now.
 
 All the best
 Jürgen

 Hey all. Like I said in my previous message, it took three tries, but 
 Yosemite is finally on my Mac. I was just wondering if Applevis posted the 
 new VO features of Yosemite yet. I know I was a beta tester since July, but 
 to be honest, I didn't notice any new features at all besides the system 
 wide features that Apple talked about.
 As for beta testing Yosemite, it was quite the experience. I remember with 
 beta 2 I thought my computer would never start up, because it stayed on the 
 Apple screen for God knows how long. Maybe it's because this thing is almost 
 4 years old, but who knows. Also in one of the betas, I think it was either 
 beta 3 or 4, the software update option in the Apple menu disappeared, and 
 even with the general public release it's not there. And on my end at least, 
 when booting up, I no longer hear the start up chime. I just see the Apple 
 logo. This started in beta 6. But one of the great things about this 
 version, and some of you may notice it as well, you can see a notification 
 that your Mac is being optomized and that it may effect your performance and 
 battery. I think they should've done that before Yosemite, but I digress. 
 Also, on my end at least, they kept the feedback assistant app so if you 
 have any problems, you can report them with that app. All in all, Yosemite 
 is awesome, and it was a pleasure beta testing it all this summer up until 
 now.

 Hello,
 I'm running windows on fusion but don't seem to have the applications key.
 Maybe I can use shift + f10 instead.
 
 I'm using an apple wireless keyboard and the Carabiner and Seil utilities to
 remap the caps lock key to behave as the insert key in windows.

 Hi Maria,
 
 If the VM starts but you don't receive any feedback, this is because
 Windows is probably doing something prior to start up. It could be one
 of the following:
 1. An error or notification that something went wrong. Try shifting
 focus to the VM and hitting F1 or enter a few times.
 2. A disk check (using CHKDSK.exe) - this is simply a check of the
 Windows harddisk to make sure it doesn't have any inconsistencies or
 errors. Usually if Windows detects a fatal problem, it will launch
 this automatically, though I don't see how it could be having HDD
 failures on a virtual harddrive.
 3. A selector dialogue, such as a screen asking you which drive to
 boot from. Again, as in step 1, I recommend just attempting to hit
 enter or F1 a few times while focus is on the VM if you don't have
 sighted assistance.
 
 Hope this helps.

On 15 Jul 2014, at 5:43 pm, Paul Erkens paul.erk...@gmail.com wrote:

 Hi Maria and Joe,
 
 Did you create any snapshots with fusion? A snapshot is a certain moment in 
 time that you captured, when windows was still just fine. Every week, I 
 create a snapshot in fusion, as long as windows is healthy. This way, if 
 something like this does happen, then you can always go back to the latest 
 snapshot, and all you loose, is data from the time the snapshot was taken, 
 until now.
 
 Of course, you can backup windows using its tools, but a snapshot really is a 
 great benefit. So if you did make a snapshot, then simply restore it and 
 you're good to go again.
 
 For those interested: at any given time, you can make a snapshot of the 
 current state of windows. It is like a full backup, but done by fusion, and 
 therefore it is blazingly fast, without sacrificing anything a full backup 
 gives you. While windows is off, and you know it's still healthy, just go 
 into the fusion menu bar with VO plus m, go to the right over to virtual 
 machine, and then down to snapshots. Once the dialog opens, use the toolbar 
 to create a snapshot. That's all you need to do to make a full backup of your 
 vm.
 If you get in trouble, return to this dialog.
 You'll see a list of previously created snapshots if you made any, and if you 
 select one from that list, just hit restore in the toolbar and windows is 
 back to the state it was in when you took that particular snapshot. Unlike a 
 backup, which takes minutes to restore, restoring windows to a previous 
 fusion snapshot is a matter of seconds.
 
 The snapshots are stored in your fusion folder, together with the data that 
 contains your virtual windows. If you see that your snapshots are taking up 
 too much mac disk space, you can easily get rid of them from the fusion 
 interface.
 
 Hth,
 Paul.

backing up a iPhone without iTunes?

2014-06-21 Thread Maria and Joe Chapman
HI.
Hi list.

Am writing this message for a friend.  I don't know the answers as I have 
iTunes and I am using a mac, he is using windows xp and currently doesn't have 
iTunes installed.
ok.
1. We have enabled everything we can find on iCloud, is it possible to back up 
apps this way without installing itunes?
2. We double tapped on the wifi sinc and it said to plug phone in to iTunes and 
select wifi sinc. 
3. Where is this option?
4. If the phone is sinked via wifi, does iTunes have to be kept on the 
computer?  
5. does the computer have to be on while the phone is being sinked wirelessly?
I think that's it if there are any more questions I will ask.

 Hi,
  
 I've been told this is possible, but haven't exactly determined how. I have 
 several articles, documents and books in simple document formats (.txt, rtf, 
 etc). Whenever I read these in TextEdit/Pages, every time a grammatical or 
 spelling error is discovered, VO interrupts the reading flow to make that 
 known. Also, every time a new paragraph begins, or there are blank lines, it 
 says return or new line. This is extremely ideal for editing or word 
 processing, but not for reading something without annoying and unnecessary 
 interruptions.
  
 Is  there an app that would be optimal for reading long texts, such as 
 textbooks or articles? It seems iBooks is still largely inaccessible even 
 with the 10.9.3 update. Alternatively, can I turn these announcements off in 
 the Voice Over Utility?

it do this? and is there a way i can fix it?  I'm usually trying to iMessage an 
iPhone or iPad when this happens.

Re: Kenwood software for Mac

2014-05-02 Thread Maria and Joe Chapman
Hi.  I am not a blind ham but am willing to throw my voice in there in order to 
make the software accessible for someone that wants to use it.

 I have been trying to get the developer of chirp to add some accessibility to 
 the app (considering that those class objects are included in python, there 
 shouldn't be an excuse not to). However, I have either been ignored (for the 
 most part) or had one of the other users on that mailing list try to argue 
 that we (as blind hams) are a too specialized population and too small to 
 consider changing some interface elements just for us.
 
 what we need to do is find every blind ham  who are interested in being able 
 to program their own radios and just barrage the list with the same request: 
 enable accessibility features. If they get enough list traffic with this 
 one subject, it may make the developer realize that we are not an 
 insignificant population. This basically means we need to find, contact and 
 convince every blind ham (quite a few of us are mac users) and have them 
 start this campaign. The only other way I can see to get him to do what we 
 want is to throw some money at him, post proof to his list and request that 
 he make the changes needed to allow us to use his software.
 
 These are just 2 suggestions and both have their strong points. Frankly, I am 
 more than a little frustrated with software developers who are lazy and 
 refuse to do something the right way. IMHO, the right way produces better 
 results than the lazy way.

 I can guarantee you that Chirp is *not* accessible with Voiceover. For that 
 matter, it can only be used with lots of mouse keys navigation under 
 Windows, and most easily with Window-Eyes, in my experience.

 Hello,
 
 I've been a part of this group for some time now, and have enjoyed the
 wealth of information that I've gleaned from observing. I've finally
 come to the decision on switching from Windows to Mac. I'll either be
 getting a MacBook Air, or MacBook Pro.
 
 One of the big things for me, however, is virtual machines (or
 bootcamp). I still want to be able to virtualize a copy of Windows in
 case I have programs that will only work on the Windows side. Right
 now, the main things I do on Windows are word processing, internet
 browsing, Skype which would be possible on the Mac side, music and the
 occasional game (mostly MUDs using a low memory client). I would like
 to get a steady balance between battery power and processing power
 without having to deal with busyness and lag.
 I have my eye on the MacBook Air 13 inch (with both processor options)
 or the MacBook Pro.
 MacBook Air configuration - 13 inch (256GB SSD HD):
 1.7GHz Dual-Core Intel Core i7, Turbo Boost up to 3.3GHz
 8GB 1600MHz LPDDR3 memory
 
 Or the MacBook pro (without Retina, 13 inch):
 2.9GHz Dual-core Intel Core i7, Turbo Boost up to 3.6GHz
 8GB 1600MHz DDR3 SDRAM -- 2x4GB
 
 I'm really stuck at this point -- what will work the bes? It's also
 sort of nerveracking putting a large amount of money into something
 that's already two years old. In all, I'm looking for something that
 will last, has updated hardware, and can handle an OS running
 alongside the Mac environment without any hiccups. I'm on a budget of
 about 1,550 dollars.
 I warmly welcome any advice. And yes, I know this list is mainly for
 voiceover users -- but I thought, as a visually impaired user myself,
 that it would be appropriate to ask here.
 
 Thanks in advance.
 -Tristan

 I have the word secret in triple brackets and VO says nothing when I move

 Hi all,
 I've noticed something really odd lately, and I'd like to see if anyone can 
 confirm it. Below is a line of code. You don't need to know Objective-C or 
 anything; the oddity is that VO is skipping text. Specifically, the bit 
 that says [[self solitaireModel] isDiscardStackRole] is omitted entirely. I 
 recommend you set punctuation to most before continuing. Here's the line:
 
  [self setDiscardStack:[[AITCardStack alloc] initWithRoles:@[[[self 
 solitaireModel] isDiscardStackRole;
 
 I assume you read that line by line, or all at once in a say-all. Go back 
 and examine it word by word, or character by character, and see if there 
 isn't a part near the end that VO skipped over entirely. I can reproduce 
 this with any voice, and I'm starting to wonder if the brackets are getting 
 VO confused. On the Mac, in-line speech commands are surrounded by double 
 brackets, and I think the speech manager that lets VO talk might be getting 
 mixed up.

 Hi,
 
 If it is a MacBook Pro from before the Retina Display models, then it 
 requires you entering a command in Terminal in order to make it work.  The 
 older MacBook Pros with the built-in DVD player didn't normally accept the 
 USB Super Drive as they expected you to use the internal one.  Some folks 
 have upgraded their MBP's to have an SSD and HDD in them instead of the 
 Optical drive thus requiring an external DVD of some sort.  Third party ones 
 should work out of the box but the Apple USB Super Drive requires the 
 following command to be entered while in Terminal:
 
 sudo nvram boot-args=mbasd=1
 
 This will allow the drive to be accessed even when it normally wouldn't be 
 usable.  If you wish to use it with the DVD player app as well, there's 
 another thing that needs done but I'll leave that for another post if 
 necessary.
 
 HTH.

 email, web browsing, web applications such as apps and mobile banking, OCR 
 reading, bar code identification diabetes and other medical monitoring, 
 non-verbal communication, literature access in braille, large print and 
 audio, and more.  The world of office tasks has now opened up to us using IOS 
 7 and android 4.4.  Several printing solutions are accessible including the 
 samsung one that I am currently using.  Simple audio production tasks are 
 viable.  And we have access to features that aren't really viable on pc's 
 such as security systems management, and GPS navigation.  Soon we'll have 
 micro-location support and many other opportunities that will encourage us to 
 leave the desktop/laptop world behind.  It may behoove you to simply invest 
 more time learning IOS and picking up apps and accessories that enrich your 
 experience in the mobile world, rather than investing in a switch to an 
 expensive new technology that will be obsolete in three years.  We are just

 Hi Everyone,
 
 As I said previously, I am thinking about getting a Mac and the main reason 
 is that I am tired of the increasing instability of the PC environment. My 
 first question is, is this really different on a Mac?
 
 I am using JAWS 15 with Windows 8. Both are not all that stable. I have 
 been a JAWS user for 17 years and I have noticed a definite progressive 
 increase in instability with the last few releases. JAWS crashes frequently 
 and, even if it doesn't crash, it often stops talking when errors occur 
 with other applications. Then, there's Windows 8. I don't mind the Windows 
 8 interface but several times per week, I will have a problem that requires 
 me to restart my computer. I did not have that nearly as much with Windows 
 7. Also, it isn't unusual for me to install a program which will, either 
 directly or through add ins, make Windows and/or JAWS more unstable. I then 
 have to decide rather the additional functionality is worth the increased 
 instability. I'm just tired of all the crashes and reboots and having to 
 use three or four screen readers because I have to run one when another one 
 crashes.
 
 By contrast, my iPhone and iPad, while not perfect, are certainly more 
 stable. VoiceOver seldom just stops working. Of course, every single app is 
 not accessible and they do not all work correctly but any problems with an 
 app are almost always confined only to that app. When an app crashes, it 
 usually does not also cause VoiceOver or the device to crash. Is this also 
 true of the Mac?
 
 I have certainly used technology enough to know that none of it is perfect. 
 However, I would like something that is better than the PC, when it comes 
 to stability. Over all, in your experience, is the Mac more stable?
 
 Thanks,

transferring from mac mini to macbook

2014-03-03 Thread Maria and Joe Chapman
HI guys.  I might be getting a new macbook today or within the next couple of 
days.  what's the best way to transfer stuff from the mac mini to the macbook?  
Can I just copy my applications folder etc? Is it possible to put a copy of my 
iTunes library on a portable drive then transfer it to the laptop? It's mainly 
the apps.  At the moment I'm away from home so limited in the data I can use so 
I don't really want to be downloading apps. 

thanks for any help.

 Hello Scott,
 
 How you select text on a website depends very much on how it has been 
 encoded. Here are the various ways of doing it.
 
 Interact with the element for which you wish to select characters or words 
 and use the usual Shift plus right arrow for characters and 
 Option-Shift-Right arrow for words, and Cmd-c to copy to the clipboard..
 
 Interact with the element and use the VO selection command VO-Return to start 
 selecting and VO-Return again to stop, then Cmd-c to copy to the clipboard.
 
 Make VoiceOver speak the text you wish to copy and use VO-Shift-c to copy the 
 last spoken phrase to the clipboard.

Re: Mavricks 10.9.2 and FaceTime Voiceover Problems

HI.  I just add contacts with the phone, haven't tried adding them from the mac 
for quite a while but last time I did it worked.  You should also be able to

 Hello,
 It's been some time since I've emailed any of you folks about problems
 or strange behavior, but I'm not able to figure out what's going on.
 I don't know if it's VoiceOver specific, or something else.
 So, could somebody explain  maybe what's going on?
 My plan was to add somebody to FaceTime so I could try the audio feature.
 It looks like this will not happen, however.
 When adding anybody, or editing them, what happens for me, is super strange.
 Voiceover is at factory default configurations, I recently reinstalled
 my Mac from the recovery disk, and had to reinstall Mavricks, so none
 of the VoiceOver settings have been touched.
 What hhappens, is I can fill in the name, box with no problem.
 But if I try to skip the feelds and either tab or VO-keys myself over
 to the email edit box, and enter in the persons address, for some
 reason, the email box is never populated, the work phone screen or
 home phone screen appears to be populated, and as a result which for
 some odd reason Apple accepts either rway, I cannot FaceTime anybody,
 and when editing them, I still cannot correct things with the
 non-keyboard entry accepting but clearly available email edit box.
 So I don't get it!
 And I really want to test this audio only call thing, but I'm
 frustrated to hell.
 I'm trying everything I personally know to do and nothing is working.
 Consequently, I appear to be having trouble with the contacts app when
 adding contacts.
 Email addresses are not showing up properly if I view the details with
 FaceTime after entering details in Contacts.app, so I don't know
 what's going on.
 I'm so frustrated I've given up for now.
 Does anybody have any particular ideas?
 FYI, I'm on 10.9.2.
 Any thoguhts from anybody would be nice, especially if anybody can
 verify weather this is a bug, or user error.
 If somebody is able to do what I cannot, mind 0providing clear
 instructions on what steps you used to reliably add them to FaceTime?
 Thanks!

Re: Folder Action New Item Alert Now Works In Latest Mavericks Update

 Hi Teresa,
 I want to thank you so much for telling us about this built in script. I had 
 no idea having your downloads folder alert you  was possible, or had been 
 possible but was broken until now.
 I now get a dialog saying something has downloaded. I also seem to get one 
 when it initiates the download. Is this normal - to get a dialog notification 
 at the start and end? It's quite nice to know the file has started 
 downloading actually, but I wondered if you are meant to get it twice? It is 
 nice not to have to physically go check the downloads folder anymore. Very 
 cool and easy to set up . 
 When setting it up, I could only get to the folder actions menu with 
 vo-shift-m when pointing to the downloads folder, , not through vo-m. But it 
 worked and that's all I'm bothered about.

 Many thanks.

 Services preferences are mostly involved with keyboard commands and don't 
 have anything to do with setting up folder actions. they are just another 
 choice in the same menu that sometimes got mistakenly invoked. What you want 
 is Folder actions setup. It doesn't play a sound; it just presents a dialog 
 when an item is downloaded. The script you want is New folder action alert. 
 Test it by downloading something and find out if a dialog pops up asking you 
 if you want to view the newly downloaded item.
 
 I'd imagine there could be a way to use a sound with this, but I don't know 
 how to do so.

 Hi,
 
 I'm thoroughly confused.  To get a sound to play do we need to do
 something in folder actions setup or services preferences?  Does
 this apply only to the latest osx or earlier versions too?
 
 I have 10.8.4.  I was able to find folder actions setup (from the
 shortcut menu VO Shift M, not the main menu VO m).  I think I added an
 action or a script or something to the downloads folder.  I chose
 edit script to see if I could figure if I had chosen the right
 script; and the comments in the script said it would make a
 notification appear when an item was added to the folder.  It didn't
 mention anything about sounds.
 
 How can I check I've done what I wanted?  I'll find out next time I
 download anything but just wondering if anyone can explain what's the
 role of service preferences as opposed to folder actions and do I
 need to add a script or an action to a folder?  The discussion seems
 to use these phrases interchangeably and I don't know whether they
 really are all the same thing.

 Next tried Email, and was able to read a couple right quick.  Didn't try to 
 save any.  That's for another day.
 
 Opened Calendar.  Was able to have it read what I had already inputted for 
 today.  Was able to open a specific item, though didn't try to change 
 anything, and couldn't get back out of it.  Closed it in the Menu.  
 
 Opened Safari.  Went to CNN.  Had it read the story of the blind mechanic to 
 me.  Closed it in the menu.
 
 A long, long, long way to go.  Yet able to make a bit of a  start.
 
 Thanks everyone!

 Hey Scott. Glad to hear that the Mac is going well for you. I remember when I 
 got the Mac I'm on almost 4 years ago. I was kinda confused with the whole 
 interacting thing with Voiceover, but that I learned that quick. Next thing I 
 knew I was downloading apps on here. I think the first 3 apps I downloaded on 
 here were Skype, Adium, and RS Games. I couldn't figure out why RS wasn't 
 working but I found out quickly that I had to put anything with the app 
 extension into the applications folder in order to work because it won't run 
 from the dog which is a disk image. Now I'm that advanced that I have Windows 
 on this thing, (which I kinda hate doing but have no choice because 
 businesses use Windows and if I could find an app developer that would make 
 QuintinC's Playroom available for the Mac for free since the owner of it is 
 too cheap to make it himself,) and Mavericks is now the third OS version 
 upgrade I installed myself. So yeah, it's not too hard to master it. Good 
 luck with your learning experience.

Re: OT: FW: GW Micro Announces Global Window-Eyes Initiative for users of Microsoft Office

2014-01-17 Thread Maria and Joe Chapman
HI.  this is a good start, but it still doesn’t make a windows computer truly 
accessible out of the box.  I did this with an iPhone but I think it applies to 
all apple products.  My brother left his iPhone in the house, and went out.  He 
called me from a friends phone and asked me to go in to his call history and 
look for a person’s name.  I was to call or text them and let them know where 
he was and that I had his phone so they could find him. I was able to ask siri 
to turn on voice over and go from there.  Just like I can pretty much get voice 
over to work on any mac without installing or downloading anything.

 for users of Microsoft Office*

 FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
 
 Fort Wayne, Indiana (January 14, 2014) - GW Micro, Inc.
 (www.gwmicro.com http://www.gwmicro.comhttp://www.gwmicro.com) is
 proud to make a revolutionary announcement. GW Micro and Microsoft
 Corp. have partnered to make Window-Eyes available to users of
 Microsoft Office at no cost. Window-Eyes is a screen reader that
 enables people who are blind, visually impaired, or print disabled to
 have full access to Windows PCs and makes the computer accessible via
 speech and/or Braille.
 
 To better deliver Window-Eyes to the people who need it most, GW
 Micro and Microsoft have collaborated on this global initiative,
 available in over 15 languages, to enable anyone using Microsoft
 Office 2010 or later to also use Window-Eyes for free.  Access to
 technology is critical to people who are blind or visually impaired
 in order to have the same opportunity to compete in the workplace. As
 such, this initiative between GW Micro and Microsoft has the
 potential to reduce barriers for millions of people who are blind or
 visually impaired around the world.
 
 As the population ages, technologies like Window-Eyes will become
 more and more important as the number of people with age-related
 macular degeneration and other retinal degenerative diseases
 increases. This significant change in the way we are doing business
 reflects the changing perception of accessibility and also technology
 in general.  Rather than wait for the world to change, Microsoft and
 GW Micro are leading the way, said Dan Weirich, Vice President of
 Sales and Marketing for GW Micro.  Weirich believes this technology
 can help millions of people gain access to their PC, and that
 providing it free of charge will open a whole new world of assistive
 technology to many people.
 
 In light of the rapidly changing face of technology and specifically,
 the changing face of assistive technology, the combined efforts of GW
 Micro and Microsoft have the goal of providing accessibility to
 people who are blind and visually impaired for the long term.
 
 Microsoft continues to take accessibility seriously.  “By partnering
 with GW Micro in this endeavor we are demonstrating Microsoft’s
 ongoing commitment to provide all of our customers with the
 technology and tools to help each person be productive in both their
 work and personal lives.” said Rob Sinclair, Chief Accessibility

Just had another thought.  This might be a good thing for those of us looking

Re: 10.9.1 Disappointing

2013-12-18 Thread Maria and Joe Chapman
HI.  you’ve made some really good points.  I do think there are small 
improvements being made though.  Granted it’s slower than we would like it to 
be, but consider the latest bug that was fixed which is voice over not reading 
Emergy  I think perhaps the bug with vo j is going to be one of those tough 
ones to fix as some people are having problems and others aren’t. I think 
overall though vo is becoming a great screen reader.  Maybe not as advanced as 
jaws, but I’ve found jaws on some systems to be buggy as well. 

Is there room for improvement and more dialog? Yep for sure. I do think we are 
getting there slowly though.

pardon the rambling.

 Hi Mario, thanks for the very kind words...We are fortunate to have plenty of 
 thoughtful people on the list who've made some great contributions.
 In response to what you've said, and the contributions of a few others today, 
 I'd make the following points.
 Apple is a mainstream company, but by virtue of the fact that they've decided 
 to produce screen readers, that also makes them a screen reader company and I 
 think that means they should be held to no less a standard than any other 
 screen reader company. In fact, you could argue they may be held to a 
 slightly higher one, because if the cross-functional teams are working right, 
 they can build in accessibility from the ground up when a new OS is being 
 designed which gives them an advantage.
 I think also that as paying customers, we're entitled to be concerned when 
 something that worked well before does not work as well now, at least for 
 some of us.
 I think it's also important that there is genuine dialogue that goes on 
 between a relatively small, niche community like ours, and Apple. People have 
 to pay sums that for many blind people are quite significant, in order to 
 beta test Apples operating systems and offer comment at a time when it can 
 hopefully make a difference. Assuming some blind people are doing this, and 
 bugs are being reported, some decision is being made somewhere not to give 
 these bugs a high enough priority to be fixed. I was a product manager for 10 
 years, so I know that that's all part of the process, a company can't fix 
 every single issue and you have to make the tough call. I think though that 
 with some of the efficiency hits we're taking, perhaps there's a 
 misunderstanding about how important some of these issues actually are.
 I don't think Apple is evil or anything like that, nor are they saints. I 
 think they were motivated to really grab the accessibility bull by the horns 
 through a mixture of altruism and business pragmatism, and they've done a 
 great job. I'd just like to see some new vehicles for communication with our 
 community emerge.
 I have some ideas about this and will take some ideas forward, as they have 
 fine products and have done more to embrace the concept of universal design 
 than any other company in the world.
 I know it's easy to get frustrated, but venting without thinking about how we 
 can be a constructive part of the solution won't make any difference either.
 Take care and thanks again.

 Dear Caitlyn,
 
 I’ve just played with the bookmark feature in iText, and I think I have had a 
 positive result. I’ve created a bookmark by hitting command+shift+m. You will 
 be in a dialogue where on the very left you have a table of all the bookmarks 
 you may have created and when you move right, you will find a text field into 
 which some text is automatically entered, i.e. a few words of the line at 
 which your cursor is located. You can change this text and write whatever 
 series of words you wish here, and move to the right to add the bookmark or 
 cancel or delete a bookmark, I assume one of the bookmarks which may already 
 be in your table. 
 
 In order to jump to any of your bookmarks, I think you have to make them 
 visible first. The shortcut key combination command+option+m on my macbook 
 air, places the bookmarks table  next to the toolbar, just to the right of 
 the toolbar. But it is not easy to find them. Now in order to find it, I had 
 to stop interacting with my text by pressing vo+shift+up arrow. Then I jumped 
 to the toolbar on the left and then vo+right arrow once at which point I 
 heard voiceover say “drawer area”. I interacted with the drawer area and I 
 found the table of bookmarks there and the bookmark button which you don’t 
 actually need because it only activates the bookmark menu which you can get 
 to with command+shift+m. 
 
 Then I interacted with the table of bookmarks, placed my vo cursor on the 
 bookmark I wanted, then routed mouse cursor to the voiceover cursor with 
 vo+command+f5, double-checked with vo+f5 command to make sure the mouse 
 cursor was on the bookmark and then I performed the mouse click with 
 vo+shift+space bar. 
 
 Then I stopped interacting with the table and the drawer area and moved to 
 the right until I heard scroll area. This is the area where your text 
 document is. Interact with it, and you should be where your bookmark was 
 created. It worked for me. I must thank you for inspiring me to explore this 
 feature. Otherwise I’d never had known that this can be accomplished. 
 
 Hope it will work for you too, and hope that my explanation has not confused 
 you.
 
 Andrew

 Hi all,
 I got Prizmo for Mac a while ago thanks to a series of promo codes they were 
 giving out on Twitter. When I got it, it was pretty bad and not at all an 
 efficient experience. I just did a scan with their latest update; it is still 
 not perfect, but they have come a long way.
 
 First, in Prizmo's accessibility preferences, you can enable auto-OCR, so 
 when a scan completes it will run OCR without you needing to do anything. 
 Just bring up the window chooser, go to the untitled window, new item, and 
 your text is there.
 
 Second, note that Prizmo breaks up text based on paragraphs, so you will have 
 a bunch of text fields with one paragraph each. You may need to stop 
 interacting with the first one to read the rest.
 
 So, is it Docuscan or Abbyy? I don't know, I have never used them. But is it 
 better than it was? Most certainly, and the devs do take accessibility into 
 consideration. The OCR percentage never used to be accessible, now it is; 
 there did not used to be an auto-OCR option, now there is; the scanner 
 selection list was barely accessible, now it works perfectly; and so on. 
 Plus, it is only $50, by far the cheapest OCR solution for the Mac I know of. 
 Follow @Prizmo on Twitter and you might see a promo code giveaway again this 
 year. It's certainly worth a try. Plus, the OCR itself is quite good, at 
 least in my limited tests.
 
 
 Have a great day,

 press enter or command O on the message instead of VO J?  For starters, your 
 pressing less keys.  Second, it works 100% of the time.  When your done, hit 
 backspace to delete or, command W to close the window and your right back in

HI.  I’m not sure that its broken.  I think vo is just letting you know that a 
new message has come in.  this might be important information for some.  If I

don’t necessarily want to hear the email address and stuff again. If you press

 you can’t tell it to do manual retrieval, so yes, it is interupting me every

 will either have to fix it or I guess I will have to live with doing it the

 It shouldn’t really interrupt that much. Unless you’re getting lots of mail

Re: huge mail problems still

HI.  I’m not really having any problems either.  I prefer to use vo j but 
either way works just fine.

If I get the 1 row added message I either just arrow down with quick nav on to 
read the rest of the message or do a vo a.

 Hi all!
 I've been sitting here all morning with my email open and reading lots of 
 messages.  I've tried to replicate problems that some seem to be having and I 
 can't.  I usually just press enter to open an email and press backspace or 
 delete to get rid of a message.  I also did vo-j and had no problems.  That 
 keystroke seems a little awkward to me.  I've pressed enter to open messages 
 in almost every mail client I have ever used.  I've also switched to and from 
 classic view and had no problems there.  I'm using mavericks on a macbook 
 2013 model.  I don't think I have any voiceover settings that would make a 
 difference.
 Just curious.  My mail works fine.
 I'm not always happy with the interaction between gmail and apple but not 
 sure whose fault that is.

 Hey Ricardo,
 
 You use mail exactly the way I use, just enter on a message to open and 
 backspace to delete it. Can you confirm to me that in Mavericks this still 
 works fine. I use classic view in mail, and haven't wanted to upgrade to 
 Mavericks because of all the mail issues but it sounds like the issues are 
 with using the BO J style. It's great that we have options, I just want to 
 make sure the way I use mail isn't all buggy before updating.
 
 Thanks,

 Hi guys,
 
 I know this is far from a solution, more just my curiosity but, why not 
 just press enter or command O on the message instead of VO J?  For 
 starters, your pressing less keys.  Second, it works 100% of the time.  
 When your done, hit backspace to delete or, command W to close the window 
 and your right back in the messages table.  I mean, am I missing something 
 here with VO J?  Is there an advantage that I’ve just overlooked or, is it 
 just a personal preference thing?  I hope I’m not sounding flip.  I’m 
 definitely not trying to come off as such.

 voiceover still says ‘one row added’ while trying to read mail. it also 
 doesn’t focus on the message when you do ‘vo/j’ on a message. It keeps you

 focused on the message at all, but still on the  inbox list.

 When I am on the messages list and I press VO+J the text of the mail message

 this way at least since Lion and certainly in Mountain Lion. Mavericks works 
 exactly the same with the way that I read mail that Mountain Lion did. 
 Mavericks hasn’t broken anything for me.
 
 Apparently if it has broken things for others, you must be going about the 
 reading of mail differently than how I am doing it.

HI.

If I press return or command o I get from  and maybe their email address 
etc.  When I press backspace to delete I get inbox iPhone message 1 of xxx etc. 
 If I press vo j I hear the text of the message straight up and then when I 
press back space it just tells me the next message usually.  I think it’s just 
personal preference.  If quick nav is on and I press vo j I can arrow through 
the message.  If quick nav is turned off and I try to arrow through the message 
I hear other messages in the list.  I hope this kind of makes sense.

 I enter the macvisionaries email address in the from field, I click next, 
 then check the box for skip inbox, check the box for give the message a label 
 pick subscriptions which is the name I use for these messages, and then click 
 save. I get a message that my filter was created successfully. Not sure what 
 I am doing wrong.

 Ah, sorry, Brian. Try deleting your Google account from Apple Mail and 
 adding it again and see if the filters show up. I haven’t used basic HTML 
 for a little while, but if you can find labels, your filters may very well 
 be there.

 Hey Teresa,
 
 Deleted all my rules in Mac Mail, checked and I am in deed using iMap gor 
 my Gmail account, but when I go to the Gmail website I cannot find manage 
 filters. I am using Basic HTML view, no link for Manage filters, and even 
 typed in to the search box manage filters and nothing came up. Any idea 
 where this link might be? Thanks

 Before you change your settings in Gmail, you might try a couple of 
 things. First, Remove the rules you set up for your Gmail accounts on your 
 computer. This is assuming you’re using IMAP. You don’t need both sets of 
 rules; just the ones set up on the gmail website. Delete your Gmail 
 account in Apple Mail and then reinstall it. this should replace your 
 filters and folders remotely from the ImAP account.
 
 If you’re using pop3, the filters won’t work on the Gmail site, and you’ll 
 have to set them up on your computer.
 
 In case you need to review your Gmail filters on the site, go to the site 
 mail.google.com and search for “manage labels”. follow that link and then 
 search for filters and follow that. There you should find a list of all 
 your filters.

 Hey all,
 
 My mail filters have completely stopped working in Mac mail. I figure the 
 only way to try and get them working again is to delete them all and 
 start over. Only problem when I go to my Gmail page on the web I can't 
 find any option to manage mail filters all I get is create a filter. I 
 have the rules set both in gmail and mac mail and figure I have to delete 
 them everywhere to start fresh. Anyone know where to go in gmail to 
 delete your rules? Thanks,

 Hi,
 Cocktail (usually $19 for license) is certainly accessible.  I used the 
 previous version of ExpanDrive (usually $39.95 for license) for FTP, which 
 was the solution for people who preferred a GUI-based FTP app before the 
 later versions of Transmit we're released.  Now I use Transmit, but I think 
 ExpanDrive is still accessible. I'd have to ask on the Mac-Access list where 
 I think ExpanDrive 3 was the chosen FTP app of some people a year ago, since 
 I've never seen any discussion on this list.  I think the Paragon NTFS 2-in1 
 bundle that normally lists for $29.95 may be accessible.  at least, I know 
 people on the Mac-Access list who have used the part that lets NTFS drives 
 be viewed from the Mac.  Since  the other part is  supposed to  let Windows 
 users read Mac formatted drives, I have no idea of its accessibility.  You 
 could try posting to the Mac-access list for questions on some of these apps.
 
 I'll just note that purchasing MacUpdate bundles or MacUpdate promos on 
 individual apps requires that you create an account, which entails a 
 one-time negotiation of a CAPTCHA.  Afterwords, the buying process is 
 accessible, and you can access a record of your receipts, license codes, and 
 download links from logging into your account.  They also let you designate 
 the individual apps in the bundle to other users, in case this includes 
 something you have already purchased.  There's usually a link for trial 
 downloads so you could check the accessibility for yourself before 
 purchasing.

 curve. I can't get control option f8 to bring up the voice over utility no 
 matter how many times I try,, a sighted person has also tried and it does not 
 work.
Answer: hmmm that is very strange it works here.  another way you could bring 
up the voice over utility is to press command space to get spot light search 
and start typing in voice and one of the top hits should be voice over utility.
  Does the focus have to be somewhere special to make this work?
answer: no.
 How do you turn off the macbook do you use the on off button or is there a 
 way in OSX itself, a shut down button?  
answer: to shut down your mac press vo (that’s control option) plus m.  the 
apple menu should come up arrow down to shut down and press enter. 

 Can Someone explain very simply the difference between the functions of 
 control option and the arrow keys, control option command and the arrow 
 keys,control option shift and the arrow keys because maybe I'm thick but I 
 don't get it!
answer: These all perform different functions. depending on what you are trying 
to do.  Maybe someone can jump in and help me out here? 
 is it possible to download voices without using the voice over utility?
Answer: Not that I know of.  Stick with it, once you get over the learning 
curve I think you might like your mac. If you’re on www.applevis.com do a 
search for mac basics. there are some good pod casts.

Any other questions please ask.

Re: Virtual Machine/ Bootcamp advice

2013-12-04 Thread Maria and Joe Chapman
HI.  I am running a vm quite successfully on a mac mini.  Granted I have 8 gigs 
of ram but as far as I know, if you’re not using the vm then your memory stays 
with the mac os. I have a usb cd rom drive so I used that to install windows 
from a cd.  I think sighted assistance is needed to install bootcamp but vmware 
is accessible without sighted assistance.  I like vmware personally because it 
means I don’t have to reboot the mac to go in to windows.  some people have 
said that windows runs better under bootcamp however personally I’m not 
experiencing any problems. I used narrator to find my nvda installation and 
pressed enter once windows was up and running. 

I hope this helps

 Dear List,I am new to the macworld.
 How easy is it to set up a windows virtual machine using fusion. How do you
 get windows installed. Load the CD? When you first install windows how do
 you interact with it without a screen reader in order to get jaws or nvda
 installed? Is linux easier in this regard because orca comes with the os?
 What are the pros and cons of using fusion vs bootcamp? I have a 4 GB
 macbook air on the way and am trying to research before it arrives. I have
 heardpeople talking about giving 1gb ram to windows does this mean all the
 time when the machine is on even if you are  not using windows? Does a vm
 degrade OSx performance?
 
 Many Thanks, Lee

 with this is sort of irrelivant as it happens all the time. If it was

 Hello everyone,
 
 I hope that you all had a great Thanksgiving holiday and that now that we are 
 all back to reality with work and all of the other things that we do on a 
 daily basis that you will allow me the opportunity to let you  in on a little 
 project of mine.
 
 I recently learned of an accessible ebook reading application called Q-Read. 
 This is currently only available on the Windows platform but I have been in 
 contact with the developer who is blind and he has told me that if I can 
 gather at least 40 Mac users who will agree to purchase the program once he 
 builds it that he will indeed build it for the Mac.
 
 My question for you all is, would you be interested in such a program on the 
 Mac and if yes would you please let me know if you will purchase his 
 application for $30 once it is built? His ultimate goal is to create cross 
 platform software for the blind on Windows and Macs so once you buy one 
 license you can use his software on whatever platform that you need it on.
 
  Please let me know privately at blindfait...@gmail.com if I can add your 
 name to the list of participants for this project.
 
 
 Thank You,
 
 Scott Rumery

Hi.  I was meaning that if you want to read an actual ibook you purchased on 
the mac, or a kindle book you couldn’t do that with this app. Still if it reads 
pdf’s and bookshare books well and with the free epub book  available online it 
might be a worth while investment.  Would still love to be able to read my 
kindle books on the mac.

Re: copying text in mail

2013-11-20 Thread Maria and Joe Chapman
Hi.  I’ve found if you press enter on a message it let’s you copy the text.   
press command w to close.
another way I have done it is to

•make sure quick nav is on 
•jump to the text as usual with vo j, 
•you should be able to navigate the text with your left and right arrow keys, 
if not interact with the text.
•, find the part you want to copy, press vo command f 5 
•press vo enter voice over should say selecting
•press vo enter again when you’ve finished selecting
•press command c to copy
I hope both these methods work for you.
