Re: Mac app for playing internet radio feeds
Hi, I highly recommend the Mac internet radio App called Triode from the Icon Factory. It is in the Mac App Store. It is also available as an iOS app and the two apps stay in sync because they use iCloud. These apps from the Icon Factory are totally VoiceOver accessible. The Icon Factory are the developers of Twitterrific and a cool text and notes app called Tot. I hope this helps.

Administrating a google group with VoiceOver
Hi, I have been given the task of administrating a couple of google groups. I am not finding the task to be very accessible with VoiceOver on the Mac. According to an article that I found from Google, VoiceOver is supported in the web interface for Google Groups. Do you all have any tips or tricks for making this work?

Re: Can anyone recommend a router that is more accessible and user friendly than the Netgear Orby?
Hi, I am finding the latest update to the Eero 6 iPhone app much less accessible with VoiceOver. I am seeing lots of unlabeled buttons and I cannot change to any of the tabs other than the home tab while VoiceOver is running. Are you Eero users seeing this as well? I am running iOS 14.2 on an iPhone 12 Pro. I did call and report this to Eero tech support.

Hi, You could start a new file and record the sentence that you want to insert. Do a select all command+a to copy the sentence to the clipboard.

Hi Lorie, When you are in a Zoom meeting, bring up the list of users with command+u. Select your name and choose the more options menu. In that menu, you will have an option that says rename. If you choose that, your name will be in an edit box. You can then change it. Robert Carter > On Aug 21, 2020, at 10:53 PM, Lorie McCloud wrote: > > I don't want the personal not field.

Re: Amazon.com: SteelSeries Arctis 5 - RGB Illuminated Gaming Headset with DTS Headphone:X v2.0 Surround - For PC and PlayStation 4 - Black: Computers & Accessories
No. I bought the 5 which is the USB version. I know that it does what I want it to do with Zoom and VoiceOver. I do not know about the others. Remember, these are gaming headsets. It just so happens that the series 5 has two USB sound. Cards which enables me to work with Zoom audio and VoiceO er audio at the same time. I did not have the time or want to invest the money in trying the Bluetooth models. They may work but I can only speak for sure that the Arctis 5 USB model works with Zoom and VoiceOver.

Re: Improving Voice Over in Zoom meetings
Hi Kare, The sound quality of the headset is fine. It is an over the ear headset. I did not find the sound of the built-in microphone to be as good as the microphones on my 16 inch MacBook Pro. So, I choose to use the MacBook Pro microphones instead of the headset microphone. It is totally user choice. This headset can also be plugged straight into the headphone jack of the MacBook Pro. Of course when you do this, you loose the advantage of the two USB sound cards.

Re: Improving Voice Over in Zoom meetings
Hi, I purchased an Arctic 5 gaming headset. This headset has a USB interface and has two sound cards built-in. So, there is a volume control on the cable which allows you to control the volume of the two sound cards separately. You can set up the sound sources on the Mac so that you have VoiceOver on one sound card and Zoom on the other. This way, using the single volume control, you can turn either sound source up or down as needed. This is not panning as both sound from Zoom and Voice Over come through both speakers but the ability to grab the volume control and turn up or down either source instantaneously makes for a much more pleasant Zoom and VoiceOver experience. I learned about this headset from a podcast that David Woodbridge did about it.

Re: Installing zoom on the Mac.
Hi Jessica, The Zoom installer doesn’t play nice with VoiceOver on the Mac. If you do much moving around on the installer screen with the VO commands, the installer will crash. If, however, you simply press tab after you enter your email address, type your password and press return, the installer will run as expected.

Re: How Do You Mute the Chat In A Zoom Meeting
Hi, You can go into VO utilities, to the commanders section to keyboard commander and assign a key to mute VoiceOver.

Re: How can one selectively silence Mail notifications?

Re: backblaze and voiceover
Hi Jean, I have been using Back Blaze for the last several years. I have found it to be accessible enough for my needs. I should say that it is the third part of my backup approach. I also use Apple’s time machine and each week I make a clone of my computer using SuperDuper. BackBlaze is the off sight backup portion just in case something happens to both my SuperDuper and time machine backups. I have never tried to restore from Back Blaze other than to login and grab a file or two that I needed. I was able to navigate around in my backup with VoiceOver well enough to locate the files that I wanted. Also, for a reasonable price, Back Blaze will send you a copy of your backup on a hard drive. I have found them to be very reliable and reasonably priced. Again, I choose not to use them as my only backup but as a part of the whole backup strategy. If you want to start cloning your Mac, I recommend SuperDuper. It is totally accessible and the developer is very committed to VoiceOver. Take care, Robert Carter > On Mar 10, 2020, at 4:25 PM, jean parker wrote: > > Hello All: > > I am considering purchasing Backblaze and have some questions.

Hi Donna, How did this album get into your library? Did you purchase it from iTunes? Rip it from CD? Get it from Apple Music? Do you know whether or not the album is properly tagged with ID3 tags?

Re: Editing Id3 Tags with Catalina
Hi, When I attempted to edit a mp3 podcast file in the Catalina music app, the option to show tag info was dimmed. I am not quite sure why. I did discover an ID3 tag editor that works well with VoiceOver called “Tag Editor.” It is available both from the developer’s website and in the Mac App Store. I also discovered that I can create and edit ID3 tags on my BrailleSense Polaris.

Editing Id3 Tags with Catalina
Hi, Prior to Catalina, I used iTunes to edit the ID3 tags when I created a podcast. Now that we don’t have iTunes, I am looking for a VoicOver accessible app that allows for the creation and editing of ID3 tags.

Re: MacBook Pro 16
Hi, I just unboxed my new MacBook Pro 16 inch this morning. I am loving it. You all are right that they are expensive but the basic version sells for exactly the same price that the no longer available 15 inch MacBook Pro sold for. You are getting better specs including a much better keyboard with no price increase. Still, the price of the base model is $2399.

Re: Question re Using Sonos with HomePod, also possibly bandwidth issues
Hi, I have three HomePods. I have two of them in a stereo pair in my livingroom and one in my bedroom. Much like you can do with the Sonos speakers, you can have the HomePods play separately or in sync. I have found that on my network, the HomePods stay in sync. I am using an Eero router and I think this gives me plenty of bandwidth all over the house.

Re: Adjusting Individual Audio Sources on the Mac
Hi Kelly, There is an app from Rogue Amoeba called SoundSource that will almost certainly do what you want. This is an application that lives in the extras menu. At the moment, there is a VoiceOver bug that keeps the VoiceOver option+control+space command from opening the SoundSource window.

VoiceOver saying Embedded with Apple Mail
Hi, When I read email on the Mac, I am using the default mail view. I use option+control+j to jump between the messages list and the body of the message. Recently, if the message is a reply to another message, VoiceOver adds a third option to this VO+j sequence which VoiceOver calls “Embedded. I think it is the quoted reply text but it means that VO+j cycles between these three items and not just between the message list and the message body. Does anybody know why this is happening and does anyone know how to get rid of this “embedded item so that I can use VO+j to jump between just the message list and message body?

Re: Mojave Question: Time & Date Commander Not Working
Hi, The first time that you tried the time and date command, you should have seen a dialog that asked you for permission for the script to access the system. You either answered no to this dialog or perhaps you missed the dialog somehow. To fix this issue, you have to run the following command in the terminal to reset the permissions. Once you do that, when you try to check the time, you will be prompted to give permission for the script to access the system. Answer yes, and the time and date command will work again.

Handoff Not Working
Hi, I am using and iPhone XS and a 2016 TouchBar MacBook Pro running Mojave. Both devices are running all of the latest updates. I am unable to get Handoff working between these two devices. I have gone through all of the troubleshooting steps that Apple recommends. The only thing that I haven’t done is erase both devices and restore them from scratch. I am not sure that Handoff is really worth taking this drastic step. I am wondering whether or not anybody else who is using the these particular devices is also having Handoff issues.

Re: Mojave VoiceOver and keyboard commander
Hi, My problem is that I said no to allowing SCROD to run a system event. When I set up Mojave. That was a mistake and I am trying to find out how to go back in and tell Mojave yes it can allow SCROD to run a system event. Does anybody know how I would do that?

Re: One Password
Hi, When you are in 1password, you will first be on an items list. This shows you the list of items that you have entered. When you down arrow to the desired item, hold down the vo keys and press the letter j. This will put you in the details table. If you vo right arrow in the details table, you will see your username first and vo right again to see your password entry. The password itself may be concealed and not show. If you interact with the password field, you can use vo and right arrow to get to a menu. You can press vo space on the menu to open it and use the down arrow to choose reveal which if you press vo space to select this option, your password will appear.

Re: Problem with a new external drive
Hi Kristeen, Are you running High Sierra? If so, by default, the new disk utility hides some of the information that you may need to work with this drive. Go to the view menu in disk utility and select the option that says “show all devices.” You then may be able to see the actual top level of the drive which allows you to do things like format, erase and partition.

Re: Apple's $349 HomePod speaker is now available to preorder - The Verge
Hi, In my opinion, Apple did not create the HomePod to compete with the Amazon and Google speakers. They created the HomePod to offer a speaker with much better audio than either Amazon or Google offer. This HomePod works with Apple Music which neither the Amazon nor Google products do. The HomePod is for someone like me who is an Apple Music subscriber who doesn’t subscribe to either the Amazon or Google services. I don’t want either an Amazon or Google product potentially always listening in my home. I, however, trust Apple and I am fine with the HomePod. I can’t wait to get mine on February 9th.

Re: Media and VO volumes with AirPods?
Hi, When audio is playing on the AirPods from the iPhone. You can open now playing on Apple Watch and use the Digital Crown on the watch to adjust the volume of the AirPods. By default, the watch will automatically switch to the now playing app when something is playing on the iPhone. This behavior can be changed in settings on the watch.

Re: Making number keys behave as function keys on Mac with toucher?
Hi Donna, If you are using the Touch Bar MacBook Pro, you can hold down the function and VoiceOver keys and get the number row to activate the VoiceOver options that are available using the standard function row on a MacBook that doesn’t have the Touch Bar. So, it isn’t the actual function keys but the function keys as they are used with VoiceOver. Robert Carter > On Nov 30, 2017, at 5:41 AM, Donna Goodin wrote: > > Hi all, > > Sorry to ask this again.

Re: backup solutions query
Hi, I use a three part backup strategy. For my primary backup, I use an application called SuperDuper to clone my Mac SSD drive. I refresh this clone once a week. SuperDuper is extremely VoiceOver friendly and the developer is very responsive. At the moment, however, only the beta of SuperDuper works with Apple’s new APFS file system. SuperDuper is available at http://www.shirt-pocket.com <http://www.shirt-pocket.com/> The second part of my backup strategy is an offsite backup system called Back Blaze. All of my files are automatically kept up to date on the Back Blaze servers. This cloud based backup system is very automatic, easy to configure and very VoiceOver friendly. It costs $5 per month for each computer that you want to backup. http://www.backblaze <http://www.backblaze/>.com My third part of the strategy is time machine. It runs in the back ground. I am comfortable that this three part strategy has me as covered as is reasonable. Robert Carter > On Oct 17, 2017, at 3:15 PM, Tim Kilburn wrote: > > Hi, > > I don't see why not.

Re: any good and actually accessible third party transfer tools
Hi, I thought the iMazing app was accessible but am not sure. I have not tried it but it is the transfer tool that I hear most often referred to.

Re: porting email boxes from one Mac to another
Hi Jenine, If you start the VoiceOver utility with VO+f8 and go to the file menu, you will have options to import and export your VoiceOver settings. You just need to export them to a file. You can tell the utility where to place the file. In your documents, downloads or even on the desktop if you prefer. You could then copy the file to iCloud Drive if you use it and then import it on the other Mac. You could also copy it on to a USB thumb drive and move it that way. If you are using the Map protocol for your mail, when you log into your mail account on the iMac, all of the mailboxes should appear on that computer. If you are using pop3, you can manually copy the mail to the iMac but it is just a bit more involved.

Re: Mac book pro touch bar

Re: Podcasting on the Mac?
Hi, I use Audio Hijack to record and Amadeus Pro to edit the Tech Doctor podcast. In addition to Jonathan Mosen’s excellent Amadeus tutorial, the Blind Abilities folks have also done a podcast series on using Amadeus.

Re: First impressions of my new Apple Watch
Hi Chris and list, I love the Apple Watch and am thrilled that you got one. If you are having trouble with the two finger swipe, you may be making the mistake that I made at first. To do the gesture,place two fingers on the screen near the crown so that the fingers are pointing toward the left side of the watch. Push your fingers forward toward the left side for the left swipe and pull them back right for the right swipe. This works everytime.

Hi, In El Capitan, the VoiceOver command to jump to the top has changed. It no longer uses the shift key. So VO+home now takes you to the top and VO+end takes you to the bottom.

Re: Carbon Copy Cloner or Super Duper
Hi, Most people who are really in to backing up their data believe that three backups are the safest approach. I personally use Time Machine to backup automatically. I use SuperDuper and make a bootable clone of my computer once a week. I also subscribe to an off sight backup service called Back Blaze. It automatically keeps the data files on my computer backed up in the cloud. Time Machine is good for retrieving a file that you deleted by mistake. A clone is good if your hard disk fails and you need to quickly get up and running. Offsight backups are good if something happens to your local backup. All of the solutions that I have mentioned worked well with VoiceOver. There is a really excellent book from Take Control Books called "Take Control of Backing Up Your Mac." http://www.takecontrolbooks.com Robert Carter On Aug 26, 2014, at 7:14 AM, Donna Goodin wrote: > OK, that makes sense.

Re: huge mail problems still
Hi, Perhaps I am not in quite as much of a hurry as some people. For me, however, having the information read in the order that it is presented works well for me. I hear the subject a brief preview and whether or not the message is part of a thread. I listen to as little or as much of this information as needed with the goal of making a decision regarding whether or not I want to read more of the message or simply move on. This approach seems just perfect to me.

Re: 10.9.1 Disappointing
Hi, I think we sometimes romanticize the idea that things were fabulous when we used a screen reader that was developed by a company that specializes in screen reading. Don’t get me wrong, I very much appreciate what the screen reader companies have done for accessibility. At the same time, I did not usually get instant bug fixes when I reported them to the screen reader company. It often took months or years for things to get fixed. I just don’t see that Apple is any less responsive than the people who specialize in accessibility. I think we sometimes forget that accessing these visual operating systems using speech and braille is a stretch for everyone from the engineers to the users. I thoroughly enjoy using my Apple devices every day.

Re: huge mail problems still
Hi, When I am on the messages list and I press VO+J the text of the mail message starts reading immediately. If there is a link or something in the message that I need to activate, I simply down arrow to it. I have been reading mail 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.

Re: huge mail problems still
Hi, I am using a 2012 retina MacBook Pro. When I am on the message list in mail and press vo+j, the body of the message is read immediately by VoiceOver. I do not experience any delay at all.

Re: a word in defense of the Apple accessibility team
Hi, I think the idea that accessibility is less important to Apple since the death of Steve Jobs is nothing more than pure speculation and if anyone can prove otherwise, I would love to see the evidence.

Re: huge mail problems still
Hi, I’m using VO+j to jump from the message list table to the content of a mail message. It works perfectly for me. I see no reason not to use return if that also works. I have the preview pane turned on and am using mail in its default view. I would love to know what is different about what others are doing that isn’t working for them. I am certain that different things either please or irritate individuals depending on your mail reading techniques. For me, though, I am extremely please with how mail is working with the 10.9.1 update of Mavericks.

Hi Jonathan, Simply hold down the command key and tap the left or right arrow a couple of times. For some reason, this makes the expansion start working again.

Re: uninstalling a program on the mac
Hi Don, You can uninstall apps just by moving them to the trash. I, however, recommend that people purchase an app called “app delete.” http://www.reggieashworth.com It will uninstall the app and cleanup any unnecessary files that the app may have left behind.
