Re: mouse keys

[ROD SKENE]

Yep. just be sure to turn off num pad commander. I use this function to play 
the sample on the Audible website.  The flash player is not seen by BoiceOver.  
Learned this trick last night in the Archives.
I've had my Mac for three weeks.
I feel like I'm at McDonald's with a Mac: I'm loving it!  LOL

VMware fusion and JAWS

[ROD SKENE]

Good morning,
How do I re-map my right command key to an insert key and my right option key 
to an applications key while I am in VMware fusion?  Also, will it affect the 
keyboard commander commands such as right option key, T for time?
I hope everyone is having a great weekend!

Re: nfl on line is accessible on pulsar

[ROD SKENE]

Thanks Mary, you made my day!
Do you know where I can get channel listings?  
My favorite is college football. This news leads me to think college ball will 
be available on the Pulsar App too.
Thanks so much again. Have a great weekend!

VMware and the full keyboard with the num Pad

[ROD SKENE]

Hi,
I am using a full Apple keyboard with the num pad.  Recently, some of the keys 
on the num pad stopped working only in VMware Fusion using JAWS.  Only the 
right column and the top row on the num pad work.  the insert key and numbers 
are not working.  I have the num pad commander turned off.  
Can anyone help me get my num pad fully working again with JAWS in VMware?
Thank you so much if you can help!

Re: plugins and audio highjack pro

Hi Matt,
If you wanted to record from Pulsar, would you use Amadeus Pro or Audio 
Highjack Pro?
I'd love a podcast showing how to do this.  
Thanks everyone for such a great resource!

Re: Youtube app?

[ROD SKENE]

Start playing the video and then find the player menu. It is an unlabeled 
button but you can find it using the VO Shift H keystroke.  Then press VO Shift 
M to bring up the context menu.  There you will find download options.
Good luck.  I hope this helps.

Re: when reading, double beep cuts off speech?

[ROD SKENE]

I'm not sure what it is but may have a work around.  Press VO L to read the

 This lets me hear the entire tweet in conversation view.

1Password

[ROD SKENE]

Hi everyone,
I have a trial version of 1Password and want to purchase the app from the App 
store.  I have entered quite a bit of information into the trial version.  What 
is the best way to upgrade to a full license
?  I do sink with Dropbox with the 1Password iOS app on my iPhone.   
I'm not sure if I should delete the app from my Mac before purchasing from the 
App store or will the app be upgraded to a full license if I leave the trial 
version of 1Password on my Mac  without deleting.
Thanks for suggestions.
Rod

Re: helping a blind friend get technology

My two cents, I would get a iPod touch and an Apple keyboard. It would be much 
easier to learn and much less expensive. She could Always upgrade to a computer

Re: for advanced users only

[Rod Skene]

True, a small percentage of blind people use braille. However, as much as 90% 
of blind people employed today are Braille  users.  I would recommend anyone 
who cannot use print to learn braille. I learned braille as an adult because I 
am newly blinded too. it has given me many more opportunities with or  without 
technology.
I apologize for getting off topic. I just feel it is so important to learn 
braille if you cannot use print. I will never read Braille as fast as I used to 
read print but it has greatly enhanced my life.

ABBYY FineReader Express

Hi,
I just purchased ABBYY FineReader Express. It seems to be pretty simple, but is 
there a podcast demonstrating
 the app? I often overlook many features with new apps.
Thanks,

SiriusXM

[Rod Skene]

Can anyone access the serious ex M online player with any Internet browser? I 
use pulsar and it works pretty good, but it no longer updates new channels.
Thank you for any help. Rod

Re: Radium - what's so good about this app?

[ROD SKENE]

Hi Chris,
GREAT! I'm looking forward to the audio demo. I have a few questions you may be 
planning on demonstrating. Is there a way to browse all the SiriusXM channels. 
I can use the edit box but am having trouble browsing channels. I'm  interested 
in browsing non-SiriusXM channels as well. Do you know the specifics of the 
trial version. I have it installed. Is it 30 days or does the app just work for 
a short time before having to re-launch. Finally, did you get the Mac app store 
version or the updated one from the website?
Thanks for your time.
Rod

 Hey all.
 I just installed the trial of Radium, and I'm thinking of uninstalling it.
 How do I access any stations?
 I added the Sirius and XM Canada accounts, and nothing.
 Its too badpulsar is dead, because that app was great.

Re: Radium - what's so good about this app?

[ROD SKENE]

Hi Daniel,
It's pretty steep for me too, but I really want to listen to SiriusXM on my 
computer. My iPhone can only air play to one device or speaker at once. I want 
to send to several air play speakers simultaneously. 
I'm open to  anything that will access SiriusXM on my Mac though.

Re: Radium - what's so good about this app?

[ROD SKENE]

Thanks for the update andtaking the time to help us. I'm looking forward to 
the recording.
I'm learning a bit more about Radium.  I like the app, but I can't  adjust the 
volume with  the keyboard shortcut. In fact, , I can't use any   shortcuts at 
all. Also, I can't use the app unless I run it in the dock. It would be nice to 
have it in the Menu bar only, like I run Airfoil. Are these features unlocked 
when you purchase the app?
Thanks again,
Rod

Re: searching for stations in radium

[Rod Skene]

The window where you can search for stations does not show when you open the 
app and also disappears when you come man tap away from the app. So, go to the 
menu bar arrow over to window and down arrow to radium. Then, you'll be in a 
search box and you can type a radio station name

Re: searching for stations in radium

I made a shortcut in system preferences under keyboard then shortcuts tab. It 
only works in the application though. I have to have radium in focus in order 
to use the keystroke To bring the correct window in focus with out going 
through the menu bar. Are you saying the global keystroke can be used anywhere 
like if the finder is an focus?

Re: OT: iOS 6 Disappointment!

[Rod Skene]

I have to respectfully disagree. When I look at Mac OSx, windows XP seven or 
eight, and android, there are so many more disappointments. I think iOS is the 
best platform in respect to accessibility then any other OS whether you're 
talking mobile or PC.

making technology with built-in accessibility was hilarious. It is true, like 
comparing a Warden of a   prison and a leader of a democracy.

Caution for intermission users

[ROD SKENE]

Hi,
For me, the latest security update which  required a restart  broke   
VoiceOver. I was  running intermission, and I switched the  output device on 
the sound tab in VoiceOver utility from system default to instant on sound 
effects. This was great because intermission no longer  affected VoiceOver. 
However after the restart, VoiceOver did not have audio output. I needed 
sighted assistant to switch back to system default.
I really love intermission, but it has given me some headaches.
Anyway, if you are running intermission, you will want to make sure you have 
the output device set to system default in VoiceOver Utility before  installing 
the latest security update.

Nisus Writer

[ROD SKENE]

Hi folks,
I downloaded a 15 day trial of  Nisus  Writer Pro from their website.  It's an 
awesome app! I have two questions.
First, are there any advantages or disadvantages
 from purchasing from the app store?  Or, should I purchase from their website?
Second, I think Nisus Writer Express will do everything I need.  I think the 
Pro version only has added languages and some additional file types to save.  
Is there anything I'm missing?
Thanks for any comments.

NewsRack

[ROD SKENE]

Hello,
I have really enjoyed NewsRack on the Mac lately, but this morning the app 
wasn't working very well.  
Every time I pressed a keystroke,NewsRack was busy then VoiceOver would say 
NewsRack ready.  I would press another keystroke and again VoiceOver would say 
busy … NewsRack ready. This would happen over and over.
Anyone know how I can get NewsRack working again?
Thanks for any help.

Hi folks,¬
There is a 30 day free trial of 1Password.

I was very happy  they had  a trial.  I would pay the cost of the app if I can 
navigate it easily.  Now, I will have the chance to see if it works for me.

Re: 1Password for Mac

[ROD SKENE]

Thanks Paul,
The email threads have been very helpful, and I have learned a lot from them.  
I just installed 1Password today and want to give it a decent effort before 
asking too many questions.
I was happy to get the Safari plug in installed.  I was also able to get my 
first login credentials into 1Password.  It worked great on the Mac.
My biggest concern is being able to access my banking apps, audible, etc. on my 
iPhone after upgrading to more secure  passwords with 1Password.
Time will tell if I can get it all to work for me on the Mac and iPhone too.  
Smile

Re: Cannot read Bookshare books if xml

[ROD SKENE]

I don't use web spots.  Maybe that's the difference.  Although, I can jump 
quickly in the xml file by headings.  I set up keyboard commander to jump by 
different  headings.  right Option 1 for level 1 headings, right option 2 for 
level 2 headings, and so forth.  It works well for me.  I can return to where I 
was reading quickly.  
Hope this helps,

and have the app login for me.  Still no luck. 
Does anyone know how to access Sirius XM radio on the Mac without Pulsar.  I 
wish Pulsar would never go away and keep updating.
Frown,
Rod

Re: 1 Password Help

[ROD SKENE]

Hi Scott,
I use 1Password and have installed the Safari extension. It was awhile ago and 
don't remembered exactly how it was done. However, I can tell you the extension 
is not assessable with VoiceOver. I don't utilize it at all. I do everything 
from inside the app. I'm sorry I don't have better information for you. I'm 
certainly not an expert. Smile.
Good luck,
Rod

Re: Is one password worth the $50?

[Rod Skene]

There is a trial you can download from their website. It is a full trial with a 
15 or 30 day limit. I decided to purchase from the app store after using the 
trial. I did not learn the program and one sitting, but before the trial was 
done, I felt very confident using most elements of the program. Except for the 
Safari extension of course. The extension is not necessary to use the program.

Re: moving to the top of message list in mail

[Rod Skene]

I use the numPad commander. Three goes to the beginning and decimal goes to the 
end. This way only one key executes the command. Also, the three is just above 
the decimal key so it makes sense to me three goes to the top decimal to the 
bottom.

Re: Radio player for Mac

[Rod Skene]

For free solutions, I use the radio and iTunes and piano pub for Pandora. I 
also think TuneIn radio has a website that works pretty good with voiceover. I 
really like radium though as you mentioned it is a paid app, but it works 
great. I really like how it is not in the command tab sequence. It just stays 
up in the extras menu.
Sorry I don't have something more in line with what you were asking for. Good

Re: Radio player for Mac

[ROD SKENE]

I don't know of any special VO  shortcuts, but there is a few in preferences 
you can activate. For example, anywhere, I can press command shift x, and it 
will pause/play the stream. You can change the volume in more options pop up 
button. Interact with headphones and VO right arrow. Interact with the volume 
slider. It has built-in air play support, so you can change the volume of air 
play speakers separately.
My favorite feature is SiriusXMsupport. Sure beats the online player. 
Good luck,

Re: Radio player for Mac

[ROD SKENE]

Yep, I really like Radium too. My only suggestion would be to make organizing 
the favorites with VoiceOver easier. I was able to do it,, but it took some 
time. Drag and Drop did not work very well. Small issue though compared to how 
much I use the app and how much I like using it!

Re: Radium favorites

[ROD SKENE]

Hi Jürgen, 
Sorry for not responding sooner. For me, arranging the favorites was very 
difficult. 
First, i arrowed to the station I wanted to move in the favorites. I pressed 
command option control F5 to move the mouse pointer to the keyboard focus. 
Then, I used the standard mark item for drag and drop, control option comma, 
and I moved to the station where I wanted to move my  selected station just 
below it. Again, I pressed command option control F5 to move the mouse pointer 
to the keyboard focus. Finally, I pressed control option shift period to drop 
the selected item. 
It doesn't work very often the way I like it, but it moves stations for sure. 
Repeated tries eventually got the outcome I wanted. Sorry, I don't have a 
better solution.
This is the only part of the app I struggle with.
Rod

Keyboard Commander

What functionality would I lose by using both right and left option keys for 
keyboard commander? I don't know of any keystrokes that only use the option key 
by itself as a modifier.

Re: Keyboard Commander

Thanks … I never knew about the ellipsis and other keystrokes. I just used 
period three times. Curious, Does it look the same? Also, I put in the ellipsis 
buy using the ignore next keystroke. (VO shift tilde) Worked like a charm.
Thanks again,

Thanks, iTunes did just that the first time I opened it with option I. I would

 Hi all,
 Now that I have four of them consistently working, I feel ready to share 
 what I've been working on for the last couple days. I am putting together 
 a series of Apple scripts that will speak information, using VO if it is 
 on or the default system speech if it is not. The ones I have so far are 
 CPU, ram, wifi, and date/time. The really cool bit, though, is that each 
 starts out by setting up a template. You can change this template, using 
 keywords to define what is spoken where.
 
 Let's look at the time script as an example, since everyone likes to have 
 the date and time spoken differently. Right now, I have my template set to:
 $24hours:$minutes, $weekday, $month $dayOfMonth, $year
 which yields, right now:
 22:55, Friday, May 24, 2013
 Don't like 24 hour time? All you need to do is change your template:
 $12hours:$minutes $ampm, $month $dayOfMonth, $year
 and you'd hear something like:
 10:56 PM, Friday, May 24, 2013
 
 My other scripts do the same thing - one keystroke, for instance, and I 
 know which wifi network I'm on and at what signal strength. Again, all of 
 these have templates with certain keywords, so you can change how the 
 script's information is spoken to exactly how you want it.
 
 So, my question: what else would you all like to see? I plan one for the 
 space on the startup disk, and probably all other attached volumes, plus 
 one for battery, but what else would be handy? These scripts are really 
 meant to focus on quick bits of information that sighted people can use 
 the status menus or dashboard to quickly look at - they have immediate 
 access, and now we do too, plus we can fully customize the output. I make 
 no promises that all the ideas I receive will make it, but if enough 
 people ask for a certain feature, I'll try to add it in. I've thought 
 about weather, but I really want to just distribute the scripts and not 
 have any additional libraries or anything that you'd have to install. I'll 
 look more into weather at some point. So, any small pieces of information 
 you'd like to have one-key access to, let me know. thanks.
 
 
 Have a great day,

Re: re-launching Finder?

[Rod Skene]

Okay, this might work. Go to the doc, focus on Finder, VO command F5 to move 
the mouse cursor to the VO cursor, control option number pad five to simulate a 
right-click with the option key.

I tried this and saw a re launch option at the bottom of the menu. I hope this 
works for you. Rod Sent from my iPhone with dictation software. Please excuse

Re: Is there any accessible way to sign up to Sirius XM?

[Rod Skene]

Hi Robert, I'm sorry to say you still can't listen to college football games 
with the iPhone app or online. Everything else I'm interested in is available 
through the iPhone app and with radium on the Mac. I use tune in radio for all 
my college football listening. Sorry I don't know about college basketball. I'm 
just not a fan. Happy Thanksgiving and enjoy the games today! Rod

Re: Choppy Apple TV

[Rod Skene]

What is a sounder? 
I have a second generation Apple TV. I have a HDMI cable connected from the 
Apple TV  to the TV and an optical audio cable connected from the Apple TV to a 
Bose SR1 soundbar. Audio only media such as iRadio and media air played from my 
iPhone works great with the TV powered off. But, video such as Netflix doesn't 
play without my TV turned on. 
Hope this makes sence.
By the way, I have no issues with media or VoiceOver stuttering or any think of 
cutting in and out.

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

[Rod Skene]

I think that is one of the enhancements for voice over users in the new version 
of radium. Now, the name of the song and artist are displayed along with the 
channel in the list of favorites. Also, you no longer have to do a mouse click 
to change channels. A simple Fio space works now. I understand there is a new 
unlabeled button, but there are many enhancements is well. I urge everyone to 
respect fully request the button be labeled and congratulate them on wanting to 
be accessible with voiceover.

Re: Help with the SiriusXM app, please?

[ROD SKENE]

The favorite tab is the one just above the home button if you just opened the 
app. The problem is there is actually seven tabs and not just the five that 
show on the screen at one time. You can pull three fingers left or right to 
show the additional tabs. 
I prefer Radium, both  the Mac and iOs apps, instead of the SiriusXM  app on 
iOS.. You can sinc the Radium Mac and iOS app to show your favorites. Any 
change in either app will  be noticed immediately on the other platform.
By the way, I was able to rearrange my Radium favorites table on the Mac with a 
mouse down and mouse up key stroke.
Respectfully,
Rod

I have the Mac App Store version of one password. I also have not found 
anything that seems to be an accessible with the app although I have some

accessibility issues. I'm sure if I studied the manual more I would be a better 
one password user.
I also have the iOS app and it works great. Rod

Is there a problem with the iOS App Store?

[Rod Skene]

My Wi-Fi network seems be working okay, but I can't download new apps from the 
iOS App Store. I did have 12 apps that seem to update okay. Anyone else having 
trouble with the iOS app store?

Re: Is there a problem with the iOS App Store?

[Rod Skene]

I was finally able to get the new app I wanted to download. Previously, I would 
tap get button and tap the install button. Voiceover would say connecting and 
then eventually go back to the get button. I gave up, but when I came back to 
the app store about 20 minutes later, the get button had turned into a download 
button. I double tapped it and the new app downloaded successfully.

Re: weather app

I tried a couple weather apps but I finally settled on just using a couple of

Re: Anyone else disappointed with the "big" apple event

[Rod Skene]

I liked it. Very impressed with the update to Apple TV. Folders, dictation,  
and Bluetooth keyboard are all very big for me.
 I really like the new iPhone. May try to find a way to switch from my 6S plus 
to the new smaller four-inch phone.
Finally, off-line dictation on my iPhone is really big for me as well. Overall 
there are several new features and a piece of new hardware that really 
interests me.

It works on my iPhone 6s Plus but not my old iPhone 5s. I did not have to 
enable anything. After the update, put your phone in airplane mode and find an 
edit field To try it out.

Karen, I agree with your point completely, but unfortunately, there is a

there, but we haven’t gotten there yet. Also, AIRA can provide service
directly to your PC. No Smart  phone needed.

Re: Captcha recognition

[Rod skene]

All fantastic points. Again, I absolutely agree.  I did a poor job of
expressing my suggestion.  I think it’s important, very important for blind
people to have many different tools in their toolbox. I wouldn’t suggest
anyone rely on solely using a Mac. I use a Mac, windows computer, iPhone. I
also use two screen readers on windows. None of the options I use can get
the job done every time. It’s good to have basic computer skills on
different platforms and using different screen readers. still, sometimes I
need sided assistance. as you said, reporting is the best way to improve. I
find many developers willing to change if they only knew what our community
needs were. Honestly, I need to report more. There’s just so many
accessibility issues out there that I get lazy sometimes. Smiles.
