Re: Slacker Radio Has Fixed Accessibility!

2014-02-01 Thread Matt Dierckens
Finally.
They have, in fact fixed accessibility. The price for slacker plus is $3 a 
month. Which is a lot cheaper than any of the other music services.

 You can download your favorite stations when you cannot, or do not wish, to

 iCloud and IMAP mail. So far things seem to be moving much faster, but only 
 time will tell if that continues to be the case. Either way, I got rid of my

Braille sense with the mac

2014-01-20 Thread Matt Dierckens
Hello guys.
I have a client who has a Braille sense U2, and we’re trying to pair it with 
his macbook air running Mavriks.
The only problem is:
1. We need a pass code. I assume its ?
2. Whenever he types in , the window disappears, and promptly appears 
again. What should we do?
Also, is there a command list of the Braille sense keys for VO? I have a 
Brailliant display but not sure how to use the Braille sense with VO. Any help 
appreciated. Thank you.

 Hello Matt,
 
 To make sense of a template, you need to build up a mental map of it on the 
 page. So you start by noting the page size and its margins. You can then 
 examine each element of the template in turn by positioning yourself on the 
 item and jumping to the Formatter. You’ll find the width and height for each 
 element, as well as its X and Y coordinates. With all that information, you 
 should be able to assemble the jigsaw puzzle.
 
 Cheers,

 The rectangular items are usually just items to help the layout. Some are 
 also for titles or addresses and the like. The key thing is to interact with 
 the relevant text area before you can type over the place holder text. You 
 Must also use the arrow keys with QuickNav turned off in order to select the 
 place holder text before typing over it.
 
 Without knowing the exact template you're using it's hard to give more 
 specific information than that. If you want someone to talk you through it as 
 you're using the template I recommend taking one of Anne and Archie's Pages 
 courses.

 Greetings Everyone,
 
 I am very interested in learning how to use the Table of Content feature 
 with Pages. I have tried to use in some of my already existing documents, to 
 create some order and ease of navigation. Unfortunately I kept receiving a 
 message that the document was not formatted for the paragraphs.
 
 So for my questions:
 
 Are there any good resources on using Pages with Voice over?
 Is it better to create a new document then insert content??

bootcamp question, apparently win7 drivers are unavailable?

Hey all.
I tried to install windows 7 on my mac with bootcamp. I’m running an early 2011 
macbook Pro with 10.9.1.
I got the message saying that it couldn’t download the win7 software from the 
software update server. Is there anything I can do? I want to try bootcamp

 screen is too blurry to see, and some nice Internet surfing would be a good 
 way to relax for twenty minutes.  While learning something new I will need 
 full time before long.
 
   I feel like someone took a 2,000 piece jigsaw puzzle, took out all the 
 corners,edges, and half the remaining pieces, and handed it to me to guess 
 how the rest goes together
 
 I've even tried to find a list that just focuses on web commands.  And they 
 are so full of terms I have no clue what they are, that it's probably useless 
 to me without a definition  sheet.  How can I guess what the command is for 
 if it's name, and description is something unintelligible to me?
 
 I'm off to eat dinner and close my eye.
 
 Good night, and I'll try again tomorrow.  Another way, perhaps.

 April, best command I have learned myself at this point is command Q to close

 though still don't know how to use. I could resend if you like. I think 
 perhaps you are trying to do too much all at once. Maybe you should focus on 
 mail and get used to getting into it and reading and writing email until you 
 are comfortable. You may even want to tackle only starting the machine and 
 getting on the desktop which has another name I forgot. Don't try to learn 
 all commands at once. Pick something and become really reliable with it. What 
 I am learning is that a lot of times the commands will be the same in 
 different places and apps. By the way, I wear hearing aids and have had to 
 tweak my voices to find something I can understand. I also don't have a very 
 good memory so little chunks of info is all I can handle until cemented into 
 long term memory. I thought the Mac was very different from iPhone, but I am 
 finding there is a lot of similarity too. I know you can do this. I just will 
 not let it defeat me. Took me a long time to learn Windows so it will take a 
 while to change operating systems. However, we can do this!

 First, leave Voice OVer on.  DO, NOT, turn it off.

 1.  Open Safari.
 
 2.  Now, press VO+m to open the menu structure.

 If you’re on a macbook or have a magic trackpad, you can just swipe left 
 with2 fingers from the right edge. .
 You first need to turn off the trackpad commander in VO, that’s done by 
 holding the VO keys and doing the roter left gesture. If you’re on a desktop 
 you need to do it from the menu extras. It’s weird that apple gave us 2000 
 different hotkeys to do things with mission control, but no way to access 
 the notifications…
  
  
  
 Alex Hall mehg...@gmail.com Dec 28 10:04AM -0500  
 
 Personally, I'd assign it a hotkey (I chose ctrl-shift-n since the Mac 
 rarely uses those two modifiers for its own hotkeys). Open System 
 Preferences, go to Keyboard, then the shortcuts tab. Choose Mission Control 
 from the first table, then show Notifications Center from the second 
 table. Press enter, type your shortcut, stop interacting a couple times, and 
 give it a try to make sure it worked. You may also wish to set other 
 hotkeys, or disable ones you will never use, while in here. For instance, 
 right below show Notifications Center is Turn on Do Not Disturb, which 
 might be handy to assign to a shortcut. Incidentally, this is also where you 
 can assign shortcuts for application-specific items that lack them. For 
 instance, I've set cmd-option-shift-a to save attachments in Mail to make 
 it easier, and ctrl-t to Tags in Finder so I can quickly assign tags to 
 files. You'd do this by choosing the applications item in the first table. 
 I'd also recommend looking at all the other categories in that table to see 
 just what the Mac offers for keyboard access and customization.

 You can set up a hot key yourself in system preferences/keyboard/keyboard

Re: Advantages and dis-advantages of the compact and HQ voices of Voiceover

2013-12-27 Thread Matt Dierckens
Hi.
Yes, you ca download extra high quality voices.
Go to voiceover utility with CTRL Option F8. Go to the speech tab with Command 
3.
Now go to the voices tab, and move to where it says, voice name, default voice. 
Press spacebar, and choose customize.
Now you will be presented with a able where you can select the voices you would 
like. Note that these voices are rather large, about 200 or 300 megs each.
Hth.

 imagine a girl speaking really fast, would we be  able too understand

 If you are like me studying anything that needs lots of reading you
 want to be able too read fast, and the compact voices can give me
 that. The only time i slow it down is when i read nursing books in
 norwegian. else i have it it on about 80. 100%

 Hi everyone, thanks for all your feedback on how you use the voices.
 Sean, I particularly like the way you described how you use the voice.
 It makes sense.
 You see, in the Windows world when using another screenreader I was able to
 speed up the void up to 30% and still understand it. I kind of want to do
 that but am a bit frustrated I can’t in case I’ll miss some important
 information.
 Oh well, guess one can’t run before they can walk. lol
 To Mike, at around what percentage do you use for your voices on your Mac to
 listen to speech at a leisurely pace?
 
 Again, thanks to everyone who has provided there input!

 Hi Daniel. For me when I use the Nuance voices, I use the premium version
 of the Australian Karen voice. I love the way Nuance tweeked her voice to
 sound more human with Vocalizer Expressive. I wish they would do the same
 for the male Australian voice, Lee, or if since Nuance is adding Loquendo
 voices to Vocalizer Expressive, replace Lee with Allan since he sounds way
 better than Lee. As for speech rate, I don't like to speed up the voice
 past the rate that's in their samples because it sounds unnatural when you
 do that.

Re: movement with braillient display

Good morning. I am working on a tutorial of using commands with that bro 
display.
What you have to do, is interact with the text. Press the right hand see key on 
the far right of the display. That should say's interact with text and then you 
can use your other keys to review the text. Hope this helps.

Hi.
I was just curious if talking dashboard is still available?
Thanks.

 Try turning Speakable Items off and back on again, or switch the listening

 Dear List,I can’t get speakable items to work. In accessibility it says

 do you calibrate the microphone?  I go to calibrate and it gives me a list 
 of phrases which I presumably have to say but I don’t know how to start 
 it. Are there settings in other parts of the mac which can stop spekable 
 items from working such as things to do with the microphone for example,or 
 is the problem likely to be in si settings themselves?

 Yes, radium is different from TuneIn. If you are a subscriber to services

 TuneIn has a bigger database. Then again, I found a bunch of stuff on radium

 Hi Christine,
 
 The Radium iPhone app does not support subscription services to other iOS 
 radio subscription apps.  Under the Settings button selecting 
 Subscriptions brings up options for SiriusXM Radio USA, SiriusXM Radio 
 Canada, Live365, JazzRadio.com, DI Radio + SKY Radio, and CalmRadio.  I 
 haven't tried these options myself.  The iPhone app is the developer's 
 first iOS effort, and is only about 2 months old.  The accessibility 
 fixes for VoiceOver only came in the version 1.0.1 release earlier this 
 month.  This is the version 1.1 release of a few days ago.  I think with 
 more VoiceOver use and feedback, the user experience with this app can be 
 made quite good, so I'm hoping more people will pick it up and try to use 
 it while it's free.  I only tried this out myself earlier today.
 
 HTH.  Cheers,

Hi,
Well, it makes sense, as Nuance bought Loquendo a few years ago.

 My favorite voice for Vocalizer Expressive is Karen because she sounds more 
 human than the rest of them. I kinda find it funny that Nuance put the 
 original Loquendo voices, (Alison, Kate, and Susan) into Vocalizer 
 Expressive. Funny and a little bit saddened that they didn’t keep the ability 
 for those three to do exclamations anymore.

 Yes, if you go into Voiceover’s speech settings and choose customize from 
 the default voice popup, or from the same popup in System Preferences  
 Speech and Dictation  Speech tab, you’ll find them. As usual, check the 
 ones you want, they will download, and there you go. Off the top of my head, 
 the new voices are kate, Ava, Allison, Oliver, Susan, and an India one whose 
 name I don’t remember. My personal favorite is Ava, but they are all pretty 
 good.

 Hi Matt.
 I can confirm what Alex is saying. The Apex works fine with Bluetooth

 At least, from my testing yesterday. Everything functions fine on USB
 from what I can tell, it's the Bluetooth connections that seem to be
 having issues.

 well, I am writing this on my Apex. All seems to be working normally for
 now, though I do not often use braille with os10. The other nice thing is
 that you can have the same grade 2 translation routine on the Mac that you
 have in iOS7. That is where the Mac will not translate what you type until
 you press space, or space-4-5. The down side to this is that you cannot see
 the word you are typing as you type it, only after you hit  space. Overall,
 though, everything seems to be working well with Humanware displays, at
 least the Apex. If it matters, I am using a Bluetooth connection.

 Hi all,
 I have always heard of people using Soundflower or Audio Hijack plus 
 microphones through the magic of aggregate audio devices. I have never been 
 able to get them to work, however. For now, I just want my USB microphone 
 and my line-in port to act as one device, so I can record both sources 
 simultaneously. My mic works fine in recordings, but the line-in is silent. 
 This has never worked for me under Mountain Lion, and still does not work 
 in Maverix. I have both devices selected in the devices table of my 
 aggregate, but the mic is the only device that works. Does anyone have any 
 suggestions? I’m really getting tired of this not working correctly… Thanks

Humanware displays under Mavericks

2013-10-23 Thread Matt Dierckens
Hey guys.
Does anyone using a HumanWare display with Mavericks know if they've messed up 
accessibility? I have yet to update, but I'm seeing all these bugs. Probably 
going to wait until 10.9.1 comes out.

 Hi eveyrone.
 
 When I looked in the app store on this Macbook Pro I saw a button that let me 
 upgrade to Mavericks, but when I look on my daughter's Mac, I don't seem to 
 see it. Will it just not be there if the Mac can't be upgraded?
 
 She's running Snow Leopard. The trouble i, I can't find what kin of Mac it

Re: safari, virtual windows and mavericks

2013-10-22 Thread Matt Dierckens
Hi May.
I can only answer the second question.
The reason its lowering the volume is because there is a new setting in the 
sound category of VO utility called audio ducking. I would uncheck that box.

 Hi there everyone. I’m not sure if this is a safari issue or if it’s new with 
 mavericks, but any help would be appreciated if someone knows how to fix it.
 
 First with Safari now whenever I’m moving around a page on the web it says 
 clickable, for example May clickable. It did not do this before and I’m 
 wondering how do you turn this off? It’s going to drive me nuts?
 
 Second regarding virtual windows. If I’m on the mac side of things it has now 
 greatly reduced the volume of speech on windows, but the volume is fine when 
 I switch to the windows window. Any idea on how to fix this as well? This is 
 another issue I did not have before upgrading to Mavericks.

I also use motion GPS drive, and I find that Google maps stopped directing

 How do those 2 differ?  I use google maps, which I love for the most part, 
 but my biggest disappointments are that it doesn't access your contacts, and 
 from what I've noticed anyhow, it doesn't actually tell you whether or not 
 you've arived at your destination.  Therefore, if you have a paritransit 
 driver for example, who's never been to your location, and you don't know if 
 you've passed it, then you're just out of luck if you can't see where you're 
 at, as opposed to Apple maps, or even Map quest.

 Which do you prefer, and why? Is one better in certain situations, IE

 You can choose whether to do a smart backup wihch bcks up only newer files.

 I could also hear the ringtone on my timer and alarm.  Apparently these are

Well, to play the others if you hit space on the button it should just

Also, that program only works for windows and is quite complex to actually sit

 Hi all,
 I know this is not an iOS list, but I also know many of us use iOS devices so 
 I thought I'd share this.
 
 The developer of Voice Dream Reader just sent out a warning about iOS7 and 
 his app. VDR *will* break under iOS7, so do NOT update your iOS device if you 
 use this app. However, there will be an update, hopefully within a week, to 
 address the problems and get VDR compatible. Better still, the update will 
 make all the iOS high-quality voices Siri can use available for use as voices 
 to read with in VDR, for free. So, if you update iOS on Wednesday, you'll be 
 waiting a few days until you can use VDR again, but once VDR is updated you 
 can use iOS7's new enhanced voices to read your files.
 
 
 
 Have a great day,

 I teach a music appreciation class at a local community college in my area. 
 This semester, I am required to use Blackboard in the instruction of my 
 class. Fortunately, I am not required to use many of the functions of 
 Blackboard. A very basic use of the system is all that is required. While 
 Blackboard is definitely accessible on Windows especially when using NVDA and 
 Jaws, it takes quite a bit of work to really learn to use the system with a 
 screen reader. I am perfectly happy to use Windows to access Blackboard 
 unless the site works significantly better with Safari on the Mac. Are there 
 any instructors on this list who can shed some light on the subject? The 
 student perspective is welcome as well, but I especially wish to hear from 
 instructors. I've been a part of mailing lists long enough to not be upset by 
 dead silence, so if nobody has any words of wisdom for me, I am ok with a 
 complete lack of response on this thread.
 
 Thanks for all responses.

 interaction by software would certainly make life easier. Have it be more

 I think it is obvious that the interaction deal is one of the most difficult

 is frustrating is that it is not always clear when one needs to interact. 
 Trial and error and lots of keystrokes and wasted time result. I certainly 
 do agree that tabbing until your finger falls off isn't the best solution. 
 But I do wonder if there might not be a more innovative means of  
 efficiently navigating complex screens. Sometimes, it isn't even clear, for 
 instance, that you are in a situation where interacting again would yield 
 more info. I'm thinking of nested tables as an example. VO doesn't always 
 announce the fact that you have moved into a level 12 or even 3 table or 
 that you could do so by interacting. Maybe that is a coding issue, not a VO 
 issue. I do wonder if there are actual blind users who work for Apple who 
 have experience with other operating systems. I say that not because I want 
 to see some other approach duplicated, but because I've seen too much tunnel 
 vision coming from folks whose only experience is with one or another os.

 where you want to go, then follow the mapping app's directions as Blindsquare 
 continues to tell you what's around. Yes, you are now suing two apps, but you 
 have a lot more features in Blindsquare and it is far less money (and not a 
 yearly fee either). I'm not saying the Sendero app does not have its place, 
 but for basic navigation I'm not convinced it is the best option. 
 Unfortunately, you can't try out either app, you must buy up front and hope 
 you didn't waste your money. Blindsquare is $24, and Sendero's app is $70 for 
 one year or $129 for three years.

 Hi there
 I would like to give an example. Suppose you were going to do mostly 
 pedestrian work with a GPS. I think the Seeing Eye GPS has a definite 
 advantage in that mode. This is because it will tell you whether a street 
 crossing goes through or not by saying crossing right and left. That way you 
 know the street is not a dead-end street which comes in on the one side.

Re: Seeing Eye GPS

2013-08-04 Thread Matt Dierckens
Hi Randy.
MotionX GPS drive is $0.99, and voice guidance is $10 a year.
Blindsquare is not a turn by turn application. So therefore, using both is a 
great.
HTH.

Good morning folks.
I for one love Blindsquare and use it on my way to work.

I also use motion x GPS drive along side of blind square.
Cheaper option than navigon and I still get turn by turn.

No, you do not need an account with 4square to use the app. The only reason you 
would need it is if you anted to check in at the place you were going to.

Re: blind square

2013-07-08 Thread Matt Dierckens
Hi Mike.
With foursquare, you can do something called, checking in.
This means, you check in to the place,and you get points for checking in to the 
place. Sometimes, places like stores or restaurants will give you specials for 
checking in with 4square.

 Hello Matt,
 
 Since I have never used BlindSquare or 4Square, I do not know what you mean 
 when you talk about checking in to a place.  Could you clarify or refer me 
 to some explanatory information.
 
 Thanks and best regards!
 
 Mike

 Hi Mike.
 No, you do not need an account with 4square to use the app. The only reason 
 you would need it is if you anted to check in at the place you were going to.

 I really enjoyed reading your posting, and I have one question:
 
 Before using BlindSquare, do you need to have an account with 4Square?  I 
 had heard that this was necessary, but I don't know for sure.
 
 Thank you very much,
 
 Mike

 i absolutely love this app.  i am still learning the new city that i have 
 moved to and, this app is great for that.  yesterday, for example, i was 
 on paratransit.  well, you know how they tend to drive you about, who 
 knows where, while on your way to your destination?  i started my blind 
 square app and just had a listen as we were going along.  we pulled into a 
 parking lot, i shook the phone and it told me we were at a grocery store.  
 i asked the driver; hey, are we at the grocery store and he said; we sure 
 are.  
 it's great for learning new streets as well as what's around you when on 
 out of town trips also.
 i do use my navigation apps with ear buds though instead of bluetooth.  i 
 think it's just the nature of the beast but, things seem to be cut out 
 completely or the first part is chopped off.

Re: My comparison of the scene live GPS and BlindSquare

2013-07-07 Thread Matt Dierckens
Hi,
Blindsquare is $15 for life, seeing eye is $70 for a year or $130 for 3 hers. I 
am so glad that I haven't purchased seeing eye. Blindsquare is truly amazing

 Hi everyone,
 I would also like to thank everyone for their comparisons of the two 
 products, as I have been considering purchasing a blind friendly pedestrian 
 GPS system for sometime now. I have a random question, how much does each 
 Cost?
 Thanks so much,
 Randy

 I only acquired Blind Square recently, and haven't really given it a go yet. 
  I can tell you that I am disappointed thus far with Seeing Eye GPS.
 1. It tells me I am home when I am at my neighbor's house, and that my home 
 is behind me when I do arrive home.
 2. It announces intersections far too early.
 3.  It does not say turn right or turn left when one is actually at the 
 corner where one wishes to turn -- whereas Navigon is excellent at this.
 4. It names POI's I am near but does not indicate left or right -- I 
 do not know if using the location wand will help with this.  I have not 
 tried that yet. 
 5.  It has been wrong about what side of the street a destination is on more 
 than once. 
 
 With respect to Seeing Eye GPS, it is interesting to hear what POI's are 
 around, and its directions are good and easy to understand if you already 
 have a grasp of the area you are in.  It has tremendous potential.  If I had 
 to do it all over again, however, I would save my money and wait for a later 
 version.

 Hey Gigi, Just wanted to say thanks so much for the comparison. I have used 
 Blind Square for awhile, and it is pretty good. It is not perfect, as I do 
 notice the feet and time position of a location are off a bit, but I think 
 this is due to GPS not being a perfect accuracy down to the smallest 
 distance. Additionally, the developer of Blind Square is amazing, as he is 
 constantly working on improving the app and tweaking it. He is very 
 responsive, and I hope he continues with tweaking it even with the 
 competition of Sendero's costly Seeing Eye. I know Sendero has a limited 
 market for this app, and they are in business to make money, but if they 
 want to be successful they are going to have to become more responsive 
 about their product. Thanks again for your review of both apps, really 
 insightful.

 Hi guys
 I realize IM you to both programs mentioned in the subject line. However, 
 I am not new to GPS applications. Here is what I have found so far as far 
 as I am concerned right now.
 
 I hate to say this, but right now I like BlindSquare better than I like 
 the Seeing Eye GPS program, this graduate is sorry to say.
 
 First of all, BlindSquare is more accurate insofar as my address is 
 concerned. The scene I GPS keeps insisting I am at 1061, where as 
 BlindSquare told me I had reached my house when I was right in front of my 
 door. Also, I tried using the scene I GPS this morning for a route that I 
 knew. I did it on purpose for one but I knew. I tried using the multi 
 thing for planning the route, and I got an error every time I tried it. 
 So, I had to use pedestrian mode. I got on the bus, and I was not given 
 enough cross streets. I have found BlindSquare works better on the bus.
 
 However, I did discover one weird thing about replanning when using 
 BlindSquare and navigate. Several times I've used vehicle mode in Gavagan, 
 and it works fine. However, today when I chose public transportation mode 
 or pedestrian mode, Nevaden said not one solitary word until I got to my 
 destination, at which point it told me I got there. I kept BlindSquare 
 tracking, and I was able to find my bus stop.
 
 Just a few of my observations. Oh another thing. As far as I can see right 
 now, BlindSquare seems to be better at points of interest location.
 Regards,
 Gigi
