Re: removing widgits

2010-04-28 Thread Steven M. Sawczyn
OK, do you want to close the widget or get rid of it completely?  Closing the 
widget will not cause Dashboard to load it, but it will remain available under 
your widget bar should you ever need it again. Uninstalling it completely, 
well, uninstalls it completely. :)  To close a widget, i.e. one you don't use 
often but want to keep around, bring up teh the widget and vo-cmd-f2 (window 
close command).  Press enter to confirm action.  IF you ever need it again, go 
to widget bar in your window list and it'll be there.  Now, to uninstall the 
widget completely, you have two options.  I believe within the dashboard itself 
there is a way to manage widgets, I think this gives you an option to mark and 
remove specific widgets.  I never use this approach, but remember it being 
relatively easy to use.  My preferred method is to go to home/library/widgets 
and just delete the widget from there.  As far as I know, the Mac doesn't keep 
any sort of widget database, so simply deleting them from the library/widgets 
folder really gets rid of them.  

Hope this helps,

Steve

Re: Finally got my Mac Book Pro, and, freeware recommendations anybody?

2010-04-28 Thread Steven M. Sawczyn
Hi, I confess I haven't done much more than basic audio editing with Amadeus.  
I can say that if you choose an effects plugin, you're usually presented with a 
dialog box in which you can specify parameters.  Scrubbing is doable although 
could be better in my opinion, arrows basically scrub.  The trick to Amadeus 
Pro is that there is a play head and an insertion cursor.  For reasons I'm sure 
I'll never understand, these two elements can not be linked.  There are 
keyboard commands, however, to route the insertion pointer to play head, or 
route play head to insertion pointer.  A pain to have to remember the 
keystrokes every time you want to make an edit, but eventually, it sort of 
becomes second nature.  Yep, definitely no Sonar. :)

Hope this helps and I'll try and research the EQ question a bit.

I didn't know that about finder regarding cd/dvd burning.  That's a handy
tip.

First, congrats on the new Mac, that sounds like quite the machine.
It sounds like you have all the software you could want, but I have a
few suggestions. First, although nowhere near as good as Sonar,
Amadeus Pro is a great, accessible audio editor for the Mac.  The
program costs $40 I believe, but it's well worth it.  Second, you can
burn DVDs directly from theFinder.  Simply put whatever you want to
burn in a folder, select that folder an under file, choose burn
folder.  There are a few other ways to do this as well, but I find
that to be the easiest so far.

Hope all this helps, please feel free to contact me on or off list if
I can help further.

Thanks,

Steve

Download link for the Unarchiver

2010-04-28 Thread Steven M. Sawczyn
As there's been a bit of interest of late on the list concerning the 
Unarchiver, an awesome app for unarchiving just about everything, I thought I'd 
post the direct link.  The Unarchiver's official page can be found here: 
http://wakaba.c3.cx/s/apps/unarchiver 

I've also uploaded the program to my dropbox, so if anyone wants a direct 
download to the current 2.3 version, simply find it here: 
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/1053637/TheUnarchiver2.3.zip

Hope this helps, the official page has info on installing and using the app.

Re: Recording multiple sessions at once using Audio Hijack Pro

2010-04-27 Thread Steven M. Sawczyn
You can record both but they will record to two separate files that you will 
then later have to mix together.  This can be a bit tricky as one of the files 
will be a few seconds longer than the other.  The other option is to record 
system audio, then divert your headset mic to output to Soundflower 2CH.  In 
this way, you'll get everything in one file although make sure 
mail/adium/skype/etc... are closed as you'll otherwise get that.  

Concerning menu extras, press option down arrow and you'll get the input/output 
options.

Re: Gmail Filters and the IPhone

2009-10-14 Thread Steven M. Sawczyn

Hi, I just spent most of yesterday setting up Gmail filters and  
although I'm hardly the expert, I thought I'd put my 2 cents in.   
Definitely check the skip inbox checkbox, I didn't do this and it  
wasn't until much later in the day that I found the box and had to go  
back to edit all my filters.  THe other thing to check is found on the  
second step, after the button to create the filter.  You'll find a  
checkbox to allow existing conversations, or messages to which your  
filter can be applied.  Check this and then go back to the button to  
create, doing this will move existing messages.  Also, if that  
checkbox shows that 0 conversations will be filtered and you know you  
have messages that should match, choose go back and modify your search  
criteria as something's wrong.  In general, I used Holly's replyto:  
trick, however, i found a few lists for which this didn't work.  In  
those cases, I put the list address in the to: field and things seem  
to work fine.  Of course if someone CC's the list I'll be in trouble,  
but at least it works more often than not.  Another thing to keep in  
mind is that a mail header shows lots and lots of info including in  
some cases, a list ID (listid:).  In cases where this header exists, a  
listid: string can be used in the same way Holly uses replyto:.

Hope this helps, the Gmail filters are incredibly cool once they're  
all configured.

There's a feature that lets you hear text that's under the mouse after
a certain amount of time, however, if i have this checkbox checked i
find that text gets read two or sometimes three or more times and that
happens for every move i make with the VO arrow keys. This is, i
believe, because the cursor tracking feature is turned on. However if
i uncheck this box, which i have done now, i don't get any feedback at

Try Express talk available from www.nch.com.au .  There are a few

their address is loudhush.ro .  Again, LoudHush is great, but only  
works with IAX providers, *not* SIP.

Re: Caffine application for the MAC

2009-08-17 Thread Steven M. Sawczyn

Why not just run iTunes and let it play something?  THis should  
prevent it from sleeping, your screen saver will still kick in, but it  
shouldn't go to sleep.

HTH,

Steve

Hi,
Is anyone using the Caffine application on their MAC? The Application
prevents your Mac from going to sleep or displaying your screen savor
when you're downloading large files, or charging your ipod/ipone.  I
installed it but found it not to be accessible  I'm wondering if
anyone has been able touse it.  I've been able to run it, but only
because I have some sight, but prefer a better way.

Thanks,
Gary

Fwd: i Phone, therefore I am -- this week, on the Assistive Technology show

2009-07-15 Thread Steven M. Sawczyn


Begin forwarded message:

With its built in universal access features, Apple's recently released  
iPhone 3GS is causing quite a stir throughout the blindness community.  
Regardless of how one might feel toward Apple or its iPhone product,  
the fact that this mainstream device can be purchased and fully  
accessed right out of the box is simply amazing. This week, on the  
Assistive Technology show, we not only look at the iPhone and its  
universal access features, but will do our best to answer any  
questions you may have about the device. Perhaps you're curious how  
effective a blind person can be using a strictly touch screen  
interface, or maybe you're wondering about how one accomplishes a  
specific task? for these answers and much much more, come join me,  
this Wednesday for the Assistive Technology show. The Assistive  
Technology show takes place Wednesday evenings between 7:00-9:00 PM,  
EDT, or, if you prefer, 2300-0100, UTC. :) Although we use Ventrilo to  
make the show interactive, it's now possible to listen to the show via  
a live stream and to submit questions via Email. For more information  
about the show, about listening options, or for instructions on  
installation and configuration of the Ventrilo client, please visit  
the Assistive Technology show homepage at http://www.atmaine.com . I  
look forward to bringing you this week's edition of the Assistive  
Technology show and to demonstrating this amazing breakthrough in  
accessibility. Steve

Re: [GW-Booksense] Disappointed

2009-07-07 Thread Steven M. Sawczyn

Wow, that is very disappointing.  With the gaining popularity of the  
Mac, you'd think GW Micro would make it at least appear as a generic  
card reader.  Glad there's a work-around, but yeah, definitely  
disappointing.

Steve

Well--

The Mac doesn't seem to recognize the BookSense.

This would appear to be an issue with the card reader or something in
the BookSense. Fortunately, I have an external card reader, and the
Mac recognizes the SD card when I put the card in the reader instead
of the BookSense. So, it isn't a card format issue (i.e. it really
does use fat32 and not NTFS).

While this isn't a show stopper, it is slightly disappointing.

Wow, I can't sign in with Twitterrific either... What am I going to do

Hi everyone.  Apparently the twitter client Syrinx is being effected

Until this gets fixed, you'll have to switch back to either  
twitterific or twitterpod.

Re: readiris help

2009-04-24 Thread Steven M. Sawczyn

Route the mouse to the continue button and click it with vo-shft- 
space.  I know it says dimmed, however, it can still be clicked  
assuming you've scrolled down.

HTH,

Steve

as suggested to me via a reply I did try interacting with the vertical
scroll bar & nothing happened by scrolling to the very top or bottom
the status of the continue button never changed from its dimmed
status. This is very frustrating to spend money on a application to
help you be more independent & its not useable. Maybe I can use it in
the short future as a upgrade path to the mac version of omnipage pro
x when I have more funds to use.

Re: CapsLock key in virtual machine

David, I have the same problem and as of yet, have not found a work- 
around. I'm definitely looking though as it's a pain to use screen  
readers from a laptop.

Good morning all,
I'm writing to see if any of you have advice on a possible solution  
for getting my capsLock key to work in a virtual machine? I noticed  
that after I upgraded my VM Vusion past V2.0, I'm unable to get my  
CapsLock key to pass through to my VM's. Any information would be much  
appreciated as I tend to remap this key for other functions.
