RE: Receipt Requests in Mail
Hi Folks, I spoke with one of my work colleagues today, he is a mac specialist. I asked him if there is a read receipt in mac mail, he advised me that no there isn't however there is no reason why you couldn't setup a rule to send out an auto response when the email is received within your system. This can however be a problem if you send a receipt to an out of office alert, which tthen sends back the same out of office alert, and so on and so on. So your rule would have to be very carefully written. However, if you use a mac connected to a Microsoft exchange server for email / calendaring etc. you could set the exchange server / your email account up to send out receits for any mail received into your account. Approx. 2000 staff using macs at my work and all of these connect either through EWS or Imap to the exchange server for mail etc and a large number of them use receits for acknowledgement.

There are 3 sounds heard, a high frequency repeated heard, probably auto focus finding edges and text, the camera sound and the iPHone's window sound when it opens a new window. I heard the repeated sound a couple of times, and the camera sound when the app was satisfied and started processing the scan. I'm not sure about the font size, but it was the small paper manual for Apple wireless keyboard, which is a pretty small one. Probably why the app found the best position to be about 1 foot from the page. It's also possible to do the same manually by tapping the "Camera" button, but then you have to be absolutely sure the camera are at the correct distance.

RE: saytext is available
The iPhone 4 is a 5 megapicsal camera but your right, it's not a karlzyse optics lens like the cameras in the n86 and othe r devices used with the knfb mobile reader. These cameras do make a differenece I can't wait to see what the n8 with it's 12mp camera does with knfb reader mobile.

I think if a stand was made available for the iPhone to fit into then the results would be better. The distance would be correct and the picture would be steady. The Iphone camera does not have image stabilisation and does not have very good auto focus and auto zoom. The camera was not designed for OCR in mind unlike the ones you get from Humanware. The resolution on the 3GS is only 3.2 pixel too. As the camera improves on the iPhone with future models and the processor becomes more powerful to enable more complex functions it will be then that we will see improved OCR on the iPhone. But as I have said before this app is great considering it is free and the hardware it is running on.

RE: saytext is available
As an owner of the KNFB reader mobile. This is a bloody good start to what could be a fantastic work and everyday tool for us the VI / blind community The knfb reader mobile is a great product but it has a 1000 dollar usa price tag, then you need an n82 or n86 / n97 phone to run it on, and then talks or ms Anyone else see how a free app that does OCR and synthasized text reading, would be a great tool to have I'd say start a push to work with the developers of the product to startimplimenting changes and working toward updates and bettering the product.

RE: saytext is available
So how are you finding it using the iPhone 4? Any trouble with the signal pickup? And how is the usability!? -Original Message- From: macvisionaries@googlegroups.com [mailto:macvisionar...@googlegroups.com] On Behalf Of Larry Wanger Sent: Tuesday, 29 June 2010 3:47 p.m. To: macvisionaries@googlegroups.com Subject: Re: saytext is available I just tried it on the new iPhone 4 and it works. It beeps when the document is in focus and the camera is steady; best done with two hands unless you've got a very steady hand, and it takes the picture. OCR doesn't take a terribly long time. The quality of lighting in the room is a big deal. When I first scanned I had poor results but then moved to somewhat better lighting and could read the letter in front of me with a fair amount of errors. I'm not after perfection though, just after something that can give me enough information to make heads or tails out of things. I think that if I'm using it with better lighting it will be great.

Its a bit of a unix challenge and I am still working through the challenges of doing it. Based on my research. the Mac help key is the insert key on the standard keyboard. For macbooks and the keyboards minus a number pad, this key isn't available. I can't make any promises but I'll try and map an existing key to this key and script it. I haven't done any real unix scripting for 10 years or so and therefore, I'm real rusty at it. In the meantime, if someone comes up with something else, that'd be great. I remember the classic laptop keyboard configurations being an option in earlier versions of jaws but that doesn't seem to be available anymore.

RE: VoiceOver 4.0
Yeah the iPhone 4 is out and selling like mad. At least is in the states, the rest of us aren't yet seeing it in the stores. But I do question the design of the new device When you can hold it in your left hand and lose all gsm / 3g and wireless connectivity. I would hope that they will re think this for a second release and re think it really quickly. Like before it arrives in stores in new Zealand. -Original Message- From: macvisionaries@googlegroups.com [mailto:macvisionar...@googlegroups.com] On Behalf Of Chris Moore Sent: Sunday, 27 June 2010 4:57 p.m. To: macvisionaries@googlegroups.com Subject: VoiceOver 4.0 Well guys now the iPhone 4.0 is out of he way, I think the next thing we should start looking forward to is the next Mac OS. 10.7 (lion maybe?). so I was wondering what features/ improvements you would like implemented into VoiceOver 4.0 and hopefully Apple are listening. i will get the ball rolling ... 1. Intelligent number reading. if voiceover encounters numbers then it can only be set to read them as words or numbers. It would be neat if VoiceOver knew when it was more appropriate to say the numbers as digits or words. For example if the word year appeared after 26 (digits) voiceover knew in this instance to read two six as twenty six years. Another example would be a phone number, if the word tel: or mobile: etc appears before numbers beginning with either + or 0 then to read this out as digits and not some huge number containing millions and thousands. The same could be said for time and measurements etc. 2. In mail it would be more useful if voiceover did not read blank blank on every line on the message viewer if there was nothing in that cell. yes I know you can turn buddies off and move columns around etc to get around this, but really voiceover should only read out what is relevant unless the user wishes to interact with the item in more detail. I think it would also be useful to know if the email has an attachment before opening it. 3. An additional voice. Alex is wonderful and plays great fast and slow, the other voices that come with the mac have been there since the year dot and probably sounded impressive in the 80s or 90s but now I wonder why they are still there. I would like to see an additional voice added to complement Alex, maybe a female voice. This would be useful for reading events as some of us have to purchase an additional voice for this task. 4. Portable document image , when using adium or the weather widget I get infuriated when I hear the graphic image read out as portable document image. Why can't voiceover simply say oh its a picture of the sun or a cloud or its a smiley or sad face etc. 5. The ability to change the speech rate etc within iChat for when you have events set up so new messages or buddies online are read out., as currently the default is very slow and there is no way to speed them up. 6. The ability to remember hotspots and web hot spots (by website basis) after turning the mac off would be very useful. Landmarks has been added to the iPhone, perhaps this could be added to the Mac too? 7. JAWS has the ability through scripting to make unaccessible applications accessible. This is not an ideal long term solution but it is a temporary fix and the ability to share these scripts with others etc would make the likes of Microsoft Office etc accessible until they finally get around to following Apple's accessibility guidelines. 8. A keybaord shortcut to read out battery status when using a laptop. Or even better still, when pressing the battery status button on the side of the macbook, enable voiceover to detect that button press and act on it. 9. When setting password protection on the Mac, VoiceOver is not set as default to alert the user that they need to enter their password. even though VoiceOver might be set as the default to come on once you have successfully logged onto the mac, you have to manually set in the accounts preferences to enable voiceover to run on the login screen. Ok over you to guys now... Chris -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "MacVisionaries" group.
