Re: a word in defense of the Apple accessibility team
Hey guys. About the mail thing, just switch to classic layout under viewing in Mail’s preferences. That way, you can navigate by and hide/show columns you don’t want or need.

Re: Accessible Music Tagging Software
Hi. That would work, but I want an app that'll go through my entire library and make sure all of my music is properly tagged.

Re: *be careful* with the DropBox update.
Hi. This does work, however you can't seem to be able to access DropBox's settings. I submitted a support ticket to them, and I'm hoping for something not canned back.

*be careful* with the DropBox update.
Hey all. DropBox has released their new DropBox desktop app for the Mac. I have downloaded it, and found a rather not so good bug. When you VO space on the DropBox menu bar item, the DropBox menu does not open. I'm not quite sure what is going on here, but I have a feeling I'll be downgrading soon. Hope this helps someone.

Re: ABBYY FineReader Express for Macintosh and Hovercam T5 V
Hi. I've actually gotten this to work quite nicely. I use the HoverCam Express software. The HoverCam Flex is indeed not accessible. The Express software should come on the disk that came with the camera. With the express software, some button labeling is required though in order to make the most out of it. Hope this helps, Matthew Campbell.

Podcasting client for the Mac. Any suggestions?
Hi all. Other than iTunes, can anyone recommend a VO friendly podcasting client for the Mac? I'm looking for one that will stream over downloading. This is something that iTunes does not do well, and my Mac's SSD really isn't made for storing so much stuff. Thanks for any suggestions.

Re: itunes 11 is out
Hi. I think he means within the library it's self. What I think might be the issue is the tagging of songs. If they aren't tagged correctly, iTunes won't sort them correctly.

Rogue Amoeba | Pulsar is no longer being developed
Hello everyone. This message is slightly off topic, but I know that some of you probably use Pulsar for listening to you're satellite radio. As it states in the message below, Sirius / XM is no longer allowing 3rd party access to they're servers for online listening. I have checked, and here in Canada, the online listening experience is not accessible from what I can see. I just thought I'd bring this to your attention. My apologies if this has been discussed before. Matthew Campbell. http://rogueamoeba.com/pulsar/ Recent Moves by SiriusXM Have Forced Us to Retire Pulsar Effective October 1st, 2012, Pulsar is no longer available for purchase. While it is still available for download for existing users, we have no further planned updates for it. Why This Has Happened Changes SiriusXM has made throughout the past year represent deliberate moves to lock out others. Pulsar has always existed at the mercy of SiriusXM, and their recent actions make it clear that they wish to lock out all third-party players. We enjoyed both making and using Pulsar, and we'll be very disappointed to see it go. It is clear, however, that SiriusXM wants you to do all your listening through their web-based players. Current Status Sirius Canada and XM Canada Users SiriusXM subscribers in Canada are no longer able access their audio via Pulsar. SiriusXM Canada has moved exclusively to a new audio player, breaking Pulsar. We no longer have any way to access SiriusXM audio in Canada. American SiriusXM Users SiriusXM subscribers in the United States can still access audio with Pulsar. Pulsar connects to an older player on SiriusXM's website, which is still functional at this time. Sadly, it is likely SiriusXM will remove this old player and break Pulsar's access at some point in the near future. Next Step Use SiriusXM's web-based player At this time, the only truly reliably way to listen to SiriusXM is via their web players. It's clear that this is how SiriusXM wishes for listeners to hear their content. SiriusXM US Player SiriusXM Canada Player Downloading Pulsar For the time being, we are still providing a download link for the last version of Pulsar. This version can be used by already-licensed users in the US. Get Pulsar 2.3.4 from on our Legacy page. It is likely Pulsar will cease functioning soon.

KeyNote Question
Hello all. I figure it's about time to figure out some of the ins and outs of KeyNote, and so now I've got some questions. 1. Is each slide treated like a mini document, and can I work with it as such? 2. When playing through the slide show with Command Option P, should I not be able to read any text in the currently playing slide? Thanks for any assistance. PS: If it is not worth trying to make KeyNote work, are there any powerPoint alternatives? I here PowerPoint isn't even accessible under Windows Anyway.

Re: Looking for eHarmony suggestions
Hi Eric. I'm really not sure what to say. I don't have any issues at all with the eharmony site in safari. I didn't do anything to my profile. The only issues that sometimes come up, are when notifications come up on screen. The close or dismiss buttons are usually at the end of the page and when the button is hit, accessibility issues if any are fixed. I'd recommend contacting eHarmony. They're customer service is usually really good. Maybe they can help? Matthew Campbell.

the ram manager again. Some progress.
Hello all. Following up on my previous post regarding an accessible ram manager for the Mac, I came across a free tiny utility called purge. This little gem has absolutely no interface what so ever. You just run it, it does it's thing, and you have lots of free RAM once again. Seeing as there is no interface, there is there fore no accessibility issues with it. It now has a place in my dock. If you want to find it, do a google search for purge for Mac. I got my copy from macupdate.com. Hope this helps someone.

accessible RAM freeing app for OS X
Hi all. I'm wondering if any of you have found an app either free or paid, on the Mac App Store or not, that will allow you to free up memory? I've always used either freeRAM under windows or Maxmem under windows, but I'd like an app to do this under OS X. Of course, this app needs to work reasonably well with VoiceOver.

importing activities? Can this be done?
Hello. I just took delivery of a brand new MacBook Air yesterday afternoon. When I exported my VO prefs from my old Mac, and then imported them in to my new one everything imported properly accept for activities. Does anyone know if activities are supposed to be exported when one exports VO's preferences? If yes, shouldn't they be imported when one chooses to import preferences? Thanks for any answers. I'm feeling like this is a small bug that I should report to Apple Accessibility. Thanks again for any feedback.

journaling apps for Mac
Hi all. I'm looking for an app that'll let me write a journal on my Mac. I realize that I could do that in textedit, but I'm looking for something that will allow me to organize and date the journal entries. Of course, this app would need to work properly with VoiceOver. If it synced with an IOS device, that'd be really cool too but this is most definitely not a requirement. Thanks for any feedback.

Mac OS X scanning solutions
Hi all. I am looking, as the subject line states, for a full fledged scanning solution. I don't want to have to jump between several apps to scan a document for class, and I'm looking for something that will work with a document camera such as the hovercam products or similar. Here is what I've narrowed it down to. 1. DocuScan Plus with the hovercam. I don't really like this solution because it's cloud based, and it requires you to log in and have an internet connection in order to use. 2. ABBYY FineReader express with something. I not sure whether or not a hover cam would work with FineReader or not. Supposedly there is a Twain driver included with the unit. I'm sorry for the lengthy email, but I'm just wondering if I could get some opinions on scanning solutions that can be done within a single app. Thanks for any advice.

Re: Vm Fusion
Hi Paul. This is indeed quite possible and easy to do. All that'll happen, is that Fusion will ask if you want to upgrade you're VM. Once you tell it yes, it'll update all components and go very smoothly. HTH and let me know if you have any questions. Mathew Campbell. On 2012-07-26, at 11:16 AM, Paul Hunt wrote: > Hello everyone.

2 things still not fixed in Mountain Lion.
Hi all. I've found 2 things so far that haven't been fixed in Mountain Lion. 1. Tables in documents. These still appear to not work properly with VoiceOver. VO still announces new line new line when I tried this just now. 2. Web page selection. This still doesn't work. I know that the web page scrolls when I move with the arrow keys, but VoiceOver is still not reporting that the page is scrolling. I think I'll be sending these findings to Apple Accessibility to see what they have to say about these really old issues.

Re: Full Key Board or not?
Hi. I'd learn to use quicknav. You can activate this by pressing both the left and right arrow keys at the same time. If you've used an iPhone with a wireless keyboard before, the commands will be very similar. There is a decent amount about quicknav in the VO help activated with VO question mark. If you were to go the route of purchasing a wired keyboard with numpad, that'd be one more thing to carry around with you if you're Mac is a laptop. JMO, Matthew Campbell.

Re: Firefox on the Mac
Hi. I too am going through college. I actually hate using BlackBoard with windows. The Mac I find makes things a lot easier. Also, Blackboard got an update recently that has improved accessibility immensely! HTH, Matthew Campbell.

Re: VMWare Help Please
Hi. The reason you're arrow keys aren't working is because you have quicknav turned on in VoiceOver. Press the left and right arrows together to turn it off. May I suggest getting started with VoiceOver first? A good way to do that is to press control option command f8 to run through the voiceOver quick start. HTH, Matthew Campbell.

Re: "Finder Busy" and Mac overheating
Hi Mike. What I do when my finder gets busy is switch to another app and then reload VO. This seems to fix the problem. I've been meaning to write Apple Accessibility for a while now about this issue but haven't gotten around to it. HTH, Matthew Campbell.

Hi. I think "List view," is what is meant. This happens when you connect an empty drive and you try to go in to the empty drive in the finder.

Re: what Voiceover bugs people want or are hoping will be fixed or squashed in Mountain Lion?
Hi. You can use VO at the login screen. Go in to users in system preferences, unlock so you can change options, then go back to near the top of the window and find login options under all of the user accounts. Once in there, you will find a check box to use VO at the login screen. HTH, Matthew Campbell.

Re: what Voiceover bugs people want or are hoping will be fixed or squashed in Mountain Lion?
Hi. As for me, I'd like to see a few things fixed. I wouldn't however, call them bugs, more accessibility issues. I'd like to see table's in textedit and other word processors become accessible to VoiceOver. The connect as button in the network view of finder isn't accessible while using column view. I'd like to see this fixed even though it's been that way since 10.5 Leopard. Another thing that would be nice to see fixed is the iWork suite as a whole. I'd like to be able to use all 3 apps without having to jump through numerous whoops, standing on my head, and counting backwards from 1000. Finally, I'll add my voice to better performance from VoiceOver in Safari. This "Busy, busy, busy," nonsense is really annoying! Another safari thing that'd be nice to see is if VoiceOver would respond when pressing the regular arrow keys by them selves. Pressing the arrows for a sighted user scrolls the web page and until safari 5.1, this worked with VoiceOver rather nicely. Last but not least is link menus only work randomly when one presses VO shift M instead of all of the time as they should.

Re: can you upgreat your MBA2012?
Hi. To add to what Daniel said, this is the air not the pro that is being asked about. The air isn't upgradeable. The RAM and the SSD are both soldered to the motherboard. This is why the upgrades can only be gotten at the time of purchase. HTH, Matthew Campbell.

Re: how to extract audio from dvd
Hi. What I do is a two step process. First, go and get handbrake. It'll allow you to copy the DVD to a video file or set of video files. Next, Go grab another app called MPeg Streamclip. It'll allow you to extract the audio from the video files gotten by using handbrake. I'd love to know if there is a simpler solution. HTH, Matthew Campbell.

Re: is a paid screenreader for the mac a option?
Hi. Adding to what Ray said, It doesn't seem really that necessary for there to be a 3rd party screen reading option for the Mac. Something like that will probably cost $1 or something else ridiculous and there will probably be an SMA every version or so for another $1000. It seems like there's a lot of improvements to VO coming down the pipeline in Mountain Lion. Maybe they will fix some of the minor annoyances with VoiceOver.

Re: VMWare Fusion questions
Hi. In regards to the upgrade process, I didn't have any issues when I did this a year or so ago. I am using NVDA as my windows screenreader and everything when very smoothly. So smoothly in fact, that it is what made me purchase the Fusion 4 upgrade in the first place. In regards to the video issues, I use NVDA and as NVDA has no video intercept, I have never gotten video intercept issues. I stopped using Jaws about a year ago because of similar issues as well as they're insane licensing scheme. I'm not going to go on about such a licensing scheme because that would be getting off topic and would be insulting users of jaws. It really is a shame that Fusion is our only option for accessibly installing windows in a virtual environment on our Macs. Parallels and VirtualBox would both be great options if they'd just do some work and make they're apps accessible. Have an awesome weekend everyone, Matthew Campbell.

An update on scanning software
Hi all. I've gotten this message from the developer of VueScan. This is a feature I'm sure some of you on here have put in a request fore. I my self requested auto-rotation of text back in 2008 [according to this message]. This is his response about this feature. I'm sure that this will make scanning a lot easier for some.

VO support for FireFox.
Hi all. I'm messing around with the nightly build of FireFox. I understood that this was supposed to be at least partly accessible. Seems to me that it's just as bad as it ever was. Might I be doing something wrong? I don't see any HTML area, toolbar, scroll area, nothing. All I see are buttons for close, full screen and zoom. Thanks to anyone who can shed some light on this.

Re: VMWare Fusion questions
Hi. It's not entirely fusions fault when you're jaws activation key craps out. It's jaws crying fowl if anything about the computer that it's running on changes. I've even just upped the amount of RAM once and jaws cried fowl and deactivated. So to answer you're question, Jaws would probably deactivate if you were to go this route. This is one of the reason's I am using NVDA when I need to use windows. HTH, On 2012-06-03, at 10:46 PM, Brent Harding wrote: > Oh, cool! I have my mac already set up with boot camp.

Re: VMWare Fusion questions
Hi. A couple of things to keep in mind. 1. If you do go the boot cam route, you will need sighted assistance to get windows installed. Also, you'll be able to have Fusion treat the bootcamp partition as a virtual machine. This has some advantages such as being able to utilized all of the Mac's resources when you need to do something that needs a lot of them but still able to boot in to windows quickly through fusion when you don't need to do something system intensive. 2. The quick install option in fusion will have fusion install windows without sighted assistance. The only thing you need do after installation is install you're screen reader of choice.

Re: accessible blogging tools
Hi John. I'm composing a post in Mars Edit and am having an issue. When I interact with the HTML content area, I get a scroll area. Interacting with that gives me a scroll bar and a bunch of empty text areas until I've come to one thing I've made in to a link. Do you know what might me going on here? Thanks for any assistance.

accessible blogging tools
Hi everyone. I've just signed up with blogger.com for a blog. I'm wondering if any of you can recommend an accessible blogging app? I'm not really a fan of the blog composing interface on the website and would like another option for composing blog entries.

some questions about the bookport plus. Please answer off list.
Hi all. I've got a couple of questions about the book port plus and I'd like to ask those of you who can answer them to please do so off list. This is not at all Mac related. 1. Are they're any lists for people who do use the book port plus? 2. I know that on the victor stream, one can search for a particular string of words or characters. Can this be done on the book port plus? 3. I read rather large text files on the victor stream but have to listen to it say "Please wait," several times before it finally loads the file. Is the Bookport fast at loading larger text files? 4. This is the only Mac related question I have. How well does the book port transfer software for Mac work with Voiceover? Is it worth it? Thanks to any of you who can help. To the list mods, sorry for posting this on list.

Re: Skype on the Mac made accessible?
Hi. I would think that iTunes for a new Mac user would be way more difficult to tackle than a small bit of navigation through Skype. I think it's all in the user's head about how difficult such a small bit of navigation could be. There's the finder, mail, Safari, the previously mentioned iTunes, and even the setup of the Mac has lots moor navigation. If a new user goes through the VO tutorial like the should be doing, applications like Skype shouldn't really be an issue. Just my thoughts.

Re: Setting to not automatically add files to iTunes library.
Hi. What about quicklook? Just press space to start the file playing in quicklook. This is just part of the finder and can be used on many other file types.
