Re: System volume

[Matthew Dierckens]

Hello,
There is a function key on the wired keyboard. It is in the right hand corner 
somewhere. You can use VO K to get into keyboard help and find it.
If Function f12 doesn’t work, or if you’re not hearing the sound of the volume, 
you can try pressing shift f12 to hear the sound.
God bless.

Nicest with voiceover

[Matthew Dierckens]

Hi all,
I was just wondering how accessible Nicecast is with voiceover.
I am interested in the following:
Using VLC along with my external microphone, possibly adding compression to 
both voice and music, and the ability to talk over beds if possible.
I have also discovered that there is not a way to edit the information on the 
current broadcast details.
Thanks for the answers.

God bless.

Chess on a mac with a braille sense U2

[Matthew Dierckens]

Hi guys.
I had someone recently ask me about using a braille sense U2 with the chess 
application on the Mac.
Now, I haven't been able to test this with braille, as I don't have the U2 and 
also whenever I load chess, the computer will have a fit after a few moves and 
shut down.

Nevertheless, this person would like to know how to get the display to show the 
moves of the computer.
If they set it to where it  speaks the moves, then will they show up on the 
display?
If not, will they show up if they go into the speech history mode? I think 
there is a speech history mode with VO, I haven't had to use it. Any help would 
be greatly appreciated.

God bless.

Re: Chess on a mac with a braille sense U2

Hi Alex,
Good points here, and I actually didn't think about that when I sent my message.

I don't think so, in either case. The problem is that Chess speaks using system 
speech, not VoiceOver, and system speech can't talk to braille, only VoiceOver 
can. I just had a look and, sadly, Chess offers no AppleScript control ability. 
Maybe the moves are displayed in the window, I'm not sure, but all I can think 
to suggest is the game log, which will likely get annoying to use after a 
while. I hope someone else has a better solution. Sorry.

Re: Setting my five s back to defaults

[Matthew Dierckens]

Hi Stacey.
You can easily set your phone to factory defaults, and then plug it in to 
iTunes and activate VoiceOver. You can also ask Siri to "Turn on Voiceover."
To reset your phone, go to settings, general, Reset. You will then see a button 
to Erase all content and restore to factory defaults.
It will then confirm, and after you press Ok, it should start to erase the data.

God bless.

Re: Fusion and Windows 8.1

[Matthew Dierckens]

Hi Marshall,
I unfortunately can't answer your second question, but I can answer the first.
You can install the windows machine in VMWare Fusion with no sighted assistance 
required. It will walk you through the setup process, and then it will take a 
while, maybe about half to an hour to complete. Then you should hear the 
startup music.
I have only used windows 7 when I used windows, so unfortunately I cannot give 
you instructions on how to do the other two.
God bless.

Since I've never done a Windows 8.1 install before I have three questions.
1. Can this installation be done without sighted help?
2. Are there any gotchas in the installation process?
3. How do I turn on Narrator after the installation is complete?

Thanks

Re: Braille With A Mac?

[Matthew Dierckens]

Hi Eileen,
I can't remember what Braile display you told me that you have when we did 
training, but if you go into the "Displays" tab under the "Braille" category of 
VoiceOver utility, you can hit the "Assign Commands" button, and examine all of 
the supported commands.

Re: Braille With A Mac?

Hi, you'd probably have to do it command by command, as it is in a table. You 
can also assign custom commands if your display doesn't do a certain function.

Re: issue with the beta

[Matthew Dierckens]

Hi guys,
One point that Aleeha didn't mention, is that when she goes into the app store 
under purchases, the Beta is there, but there's no way to download it.

Did you not first make a backup?  That's one of the most important things with 
betas to do.  Not purposely meaning to  be an ass, just am saying.

If not, just make a bootable copy of Yosemite to a USB stick, then go from 
there.

Chris.

Re: proposal: the macvisionaries bug replication thread

[Matthew Dierckens]

hi guys,
I did first aid on my mac, running public beta, and the disk still says that 
it's corrupted and needs to be repaired. Any ideas on how to fix this without 
wiping the drive completely?

On Jul 14, 2015, at 08:24, Yuma Decaux  wrote:

I don’t have this one. Try first refreshing your mac. The disk utility now 
automatically repairs permissions and disc at intervals so that will not be the

Hello Rena

the links, etc. only is optional?

Re: The Moodle interface and VoiceOver

[Matthew Dierckens]

Good morning Gina,
I use this for my assistive technology certification course last year. The 
interface is quite accessible with voiceover on the Mac at least. It seemed 
pretty accessible on the phone as well. Good luck with your online course, 
hopefully you won't run into too many disability barriers.

Re: VoiceOver On, Speech Off, on a MacBook Pro

Once voiceover is on, if you do a three finger double tap on your trackpad, you 
should hear the phrase, "voiceover and muted." good luck.

Re: Keyboard on new 12" MacBook

[Matthew Dierckens]

Hi Gary,
I've seen the new 12 inch macbook, I've typed on it for a long period of time, 
and I didn't like the experience too much. I too had trouble locating th
God bless.e keys, and found that I still had to stop and count keys as they 
were too close together.

Hi,

Has anyone spent  time with the new 12" MacBook? If so how are you
finding the keyboard?

Playing with one in the Apple Store I found it really difficult to use
-- the keys are a good size but there is very little space between
them and I was finding it actually a little hard to always  detect the
key edges when typing and in particularly when sliding across the
keyboard. I think the keys are also quite flat so even the transition
between bottom row of keys/space bar/top of trackpad tripped me up a
few times.

I am quite tall so standing at the  table in the store was a really
odd typing angle so maybe that was it but curious if anyone else who
relies on touch typing -- more than sighted users has had similar or
different experiences?

It's a  shame because I love the form factor of that thing. :)

Deleting email messages twice?

[Matthew Dierckens]

Hi guys,
Ever since my computer's logic board was replaced last week, I notice that a 
bunch of settings have been screwed with for some reason.
When I delete messages on my iPhone or iPad and then go over to the mac side, 
the messages appear again so I have to delete them. Isn't there a setting I can 
change for this not to happen?
Thanks.
God bless.

Re: Importing an iTunes Book from the Mac to Voice Dream Reader on the iPhone

Hello, unfortunately, you cannot put DM books, such as those from iBooks onto

You may have to obtain the book somewhere else.

Hello All, 

I have read the instructions from Voice Dream Reader to import a book purchased

but the navigation aspects of both sites are less than desired. I would like to 
import the book into Voice Dream Reader where I can have better navigation of 
lines or paragraphs. The book is highly technical in nature, so I need to have 
the ability of finer tuning in the book. I have synced the book through iTunes 
to my iPhone6. I have located where the iTunes Media is stored on my Mac, but 
when I check it out, there is no book subfolder with the book listed. Do I need 
to sync back the book? Is there another location I need to look in? Please 
advise as I am perplexed in why I can’t see the book subfolder in the music 
folder under iTunes. 

thanks in advance.

Hi everyone,
I found out through Facebook group they're calling Mathews passed away last 
week. I know he was on the list, and he was very helpful guy. Just thought I 
would let you all know. I was beginning to wonder about why you hadn't been 
posting, and was actually going to write him a couple days ago when I found out.

Signatures?

[Matthew Dierckens]

Hi guys,
So as you can tell I got my signature back, but I had to manually type it in. 
Here’s what I don’t understand.
When I go to the “Al signatures” I can see all my signatures but I can’t add 
them to iCloud or Gmail.
Is there a way that I can select a signature without adding duplicates?
Thanks.
God bless.

Re: Another cool thing.

Hi,
Yes, you can snd and save attachments in iCloud drive. Now if only Google 
Drive, dropbox and 1drive would be able to implement this feature.

Re: Where is ICloud Drive on I O S 9?

[Matthew Dierckens]

Hi all,
To access iCloud drive on your home screen, do the following.
Open settings
Open ICloud
There’s a button that says “Add ICloud drive to home screen.” make sure this is 
turned on.
Good luck.

God bless.

Re: New to the List

[Matthew Dierckens]

Hello.
I can only answer two of your questions.
A good internet radi app is called Radium. It's $10 in the app store, and not 
only a bunch of paid subscriptions such as SiriusXM U.S. and Canada, but Di.fm, 
RadioTunes, formally Sky.FM, and many others. It also had a lot of internet 
radio stations.
Honestly, flash isn't important for your machine.
A lot of websites use HTML 5, and sites like youtube have a special HTML 5 
version of their website.
I apologize that I couldn't be of any further assistance.

God bless. :)

Re: New to the List

Hi Eric,
Many of the Tune In radio stations can be played on the Radium app if you know 
what you're looking for.
You can also import the URL that you listen to on the TUneIn website into 
Radium and mark as a favourite.

God bless. :)

Using a footswitch for dictation

[Matthew Dierckens]

Hi all.
A recent student just called me regarding a question. If anyone has an answer 
to this question, please email me off list and I can get you in touch with her.
She recently got asked to do some transcription work for her church. A lady 
suggested to her that she get a footswitch for dictation. Now, her question is 
this. Which is a good model that will work with voiceover, one that can 
play/stop, and rewind in small increments.
Thanks for all your help.

God bless. :)

Re: New to the List

[Matthew Dierckens]

Here are steps on how to enter a URL manually into radium.
If you're using TuneIn's website, do a search and find the station.
Once it starts playing, press command L to open the location box.
Copy the URL.
Now, open radium.
Find the "More options" menu button, and press spacebar.
Go down to import URL, or you can just press command =.
The URL will automatically be inserted. You can enter the station name and 
short description for your favourites, and press enter to save the station to 
your favourites.
Hth.

God bless. :)

Hi,
You have to hit the "Download the stream to listen" link on the TuneIn page.
Then copy that link into radium.
God bless. :)

Every TuneIn stream link does that I've seen. once that opens, command L, 
command a and then command C, and then import into radium.

Re: How to Confirm a Bad Audio Jack?

Hey Alex, mine does that too sometimes.
What I do is go to system preferences, sound, and find the output tab. Go down 
one entry and then go up for headphones. It's a software issue.

Re: Turning VoiceOver on from log-in screen

[Matthew Dierckens]

If you have File vault enabled, and you are using an older mac, then all you 
will hear is the single beep for user name, double beep for password.
You can however turn VO on the log on screen. If you go into system 
preferences, go to users and groups, interact with the user table and VO until 
you hear Log in Options.
Stop interacting, and check the box that says use voiceover on the log on 
window.
Please note that you will have to check the "Click the lock to makes changes" 
checkbox and enter your password.
HTH.

Re: Turning VoiceOver on from log-in screen

[Matthew Dierckens]

Hi, so when you hit CMD f5, you said you get a ingle beep? That beep is for 
your user name, enter that correctly and then you will hear two beeps for 
password. Enter that correctly and press enter. You will hear three beeps and 
you have to wait a bit for logging in.

God bless. :)

Re: Notifications

[Matthew Dierckens]

I recommend you set up a shortcut in the keyboard preferences to show the 
notification centre.
To do this:
1. open system preferences, found either in the menu bar or on the doc.
2. Stop interacting with the toolbar.
3. Press VO right until you hear "preferences pains, scroll area" and interact 
with VO shift downarrow.
4. Go to keyboard, VO space, and stop interacting with VO shift up arrow.
5. VO right until you find the "shortcuts" tab and VO space.
6. VO right to the "shortcuts categories" table and interact with it. Find 
"Mission control" and stop interacting.
7. VO right to the "Mission control shortcuts" table, and interact.
8. It is easier to find the second column with VO right arrow, and VO downarrow 
until you find "Show/hide notification centre."
9. VO left, and press VO space to check the checkbox. You are now in an edit 
field where you can type in your desired command.
For my notification centre shortcut, I use Command Option Shift N.
Hope this was helpful

God bless. :)

Re: Infovox iVox Voices

The InfoVox voices are pretty good. Very responsive, sound amazing at very fast 
rates, and well worth the $20 per voice.

As far as I know, the only way to do this is for you to go to the mailboxes

Markers and editing in Amadeus pro

[Matthew Dierckens]

Hello all.
I created a new recording in amadeus pro, after following the instructions in 
Jonathan Mosen's tutorial which I just recently purchased. Here is my issue.
I record, set markers, press return, hit space, I hear the following, volumes, 
popup button, and there's volume, none, and panning. The only way that I can 
access the recording is to go to the toolbar and play it that way.
If I open an already made file, this doesn't happen when I press space.
Thanks for any assistance.

God bless. :)

Re: Recording audio

[Matthew Dierckens]

Hello.
Audio hijack 3 works fine. Once you figure out how to use it, and Alex hall has 
done a terrific podcast on AppleVis regarding this.
Take a look at the do, you can record for 10 minutes until there will be noise 
in your recordings.
Is Rogue Amiba not selling audio hijack pro anymore?
Creating Skype call recordings will work with the hijack 3.
Take care.

God bless. :)

Re: how to permanently disable automatic speling correction in textedit?

[Matthew Dierckens]

You can do this in keyboard preferences in system preferences. Just note that 
it will be disabled throughout the entire system.
Go to system preferences, keyboard, text tab.
There, after the shotable, you checkbox that says "automatically correct 
spelling" Uncheck this box.
HTH.

Re: Need help with new macbook air.

[Matthew Dierckens]

Hello Stacey:
I can answer your first two questions here.
The first one, go to finder, preferences with command comma, and press the 
checkbox in the general tab that says " Open folders in tabs instead of new 
windows.
As for dropbox, once you sign in, there should be a get dropbox link, and it 
should start to download.
Good luck.

Re: tips for Nightowl please

[Matthew Dierckens]

Hi Ray:
To follow users, unless there's an easier way, but the only way that I have 
used is to find user, go to the drawer, interact, go to the user actions menu, 
and following status.
Yes, its a lot of steps, but I don't think you can tweet "Follow user" anymore.

Re: Creating a signature in mail in Yosemite

[Matthew Dierckens]

Hello.
Creating a signature in Yosemite
1. Open mai preferences with command comma.
2. You will be automatically interacting with the toolbar. VO space or double 
tap on the trackpad on the "signatures" button.
3. Stop interacting with the toolbar.
4. You see a table with all signatures and then signatures you can create for 
each of your mail accounts.
5. Go to either "All signitures" or the desired account.
6. You will see a second table which will be empty. This will be where your 
signatures will appear.
7. Press the "add" button. You can call this signature whatever you would like. 
By default, the signatures will be called signatures number 1, 2 3 etc.
8. Once done, you can check a box that allow you to use the signatures above 
quoted texts.
I hope this was helpful.

God bless. :)

Re: Editing Audio

[Matthew Dierckens]

I personally would recommend amadeus pro, along side of Jonathan Mosen's 
excellent book "Becoming an Amadeus Pro Maestro.

For me at least, this program is now one less reason why I don't use windows 
anymore.

Re: How do I Access My Favorites in the New Radium Update for the Mac

Hi Phil and all.
This is good to know about the unlabeled buttons. One way that I find the

Getting my own messages on lists

[Matthew Dierckens]

Hello everyone:
I'm not sure why this happens, but no matter what list I am subscribed to, when 
I send emails from iCloud, and I keep receiving my messages after I send them. 
Is there a way to stop getting these?

Duplicating sessions in Audio Hijack?

[Matthew Dierckens]

Hello all,
I have a session in Audio Hijack 3, that I want to duplicate but don't 
necessarily want to create again.
Is there a way to do this, and then add the additional setting and then save it?
THanks
God bless. :)

This is bizarre, now keep in mind I have SiriusXM Canada, but it still should 
work.
Just try typing in SiriusXM, and see if you can access any stations.

Re: VoiceOver very sluggish when changing languages

[Matthew Dierckens]

Hello Mike and all.
You wil not lose any voices that you have on the mac, if you buy from 
assistiveware they will just be added to the voiceover utility. You can try out 
the demo of each voice for 30 days, and then make your decision to purchase the 
voice.
HTH.

Even at the lowest verbosity setting, VO will still announce "Interact with

Re: Interact with text

[Matthew Dierckens]

Hi Daniel.
Well, no matter if you set your verbosity to low, medium or high, you're going 
to hear at least the subject of the email message when you press enter.
I have never used VO J for reading emails.
I also don't believe there is a way of turning this off in verbosity at all. 
Interact with text does not only apply to the mail application.

God bless.

Re: Skype for mac

[Matthew Dierckens]

Hi Pam,
I wonder if you didn't copy the app file into your applications folder from the 
Skype disk image?
You can go to www.skye.com and download the disk image, copy the Skype.app 
file, and ten paste it to the applications folder.

God bless.

Re: Keystroke form muting voiceover

No because then this would mute the entire system.

Re: To update to Yosemite from Mavericks or not

[Matthew Dierckens]

Hi,
Sorry if that message was mistyped, I was running out the door and using 
dictation.
Yes, Alex is correct about the Vocalizer voices and clicking on airdrop 
transfers. Even deleting most of the voices doesn't help the lags with them.
I, too, am using Alex more and more, and his responsiveness is amazing.

God bless.
