Re: Voiceover frequently shutting off

[Suzanne Erb]

Hello,
Have you logged this with Apple Accessibility/ Maybe they can assist. If not, 
it might be good for them to know about the issue, so they can investigate it.

Re: Converting power point into accessible format

[Suzanne Erb]

Hello,
I have used  Scribe, and it does work well, but it is not free. What I like 
about Scribe vs. Scribe for Meetings is that with Scribe, you can access the 
information at any time; it belongs to you. With Scribe for Meetings, the 
meeting host or professor can limit your access to viewing the powerPoint 
during the actual time for the meeting. I prefer listening to the lecturer and 
reading the powerPoint in Braille, not necessarily simultaneously. It depends 
on the content being shared. I like to have choice.
But opening the PowerPOint in Keynote gives you the option to view it 
in an accessible way, and it’s free.
Of course, if your university purchases a site license to Scribe, then 
it could, theoretically, make all campus documents accessible for a price. 
Anyway, the more tools you have in your toolbox, the more you will be 
able to access. Yes, universities are supposed to provide you with accessible 
materials and they should; but they can’t provide everything.
Best,
Suzanne

Re: Converting power point into accessible format

[Suzanne Erb]

Hello,
You might try opening the Powerpoint in Keynote, then go to the View menu and 
go down to View as Outline and 
select that option.
You will be able to read the text, but it may not present some of the 
non-text materials. I’ve done it previously, and have been told that sometimes 
it does not provide everything; but it should give you enough information to be 
able to understand the Powerpoint.
HTH

Re: Shortcut for next and previous message.

[Suzanne Erb]

Hello,
I don’t know of a shortcut, but if you leave the message that you are currently 
reading open, then use Command plus accent, it will probably bring you back to 
your messages table. then you can just use your up and down arrows to find the 
next and previous messages. All this time, your message that you had ben been 
reading will still be there, right where you left it. It’s much simpler than it 
sounds.
So, not a real shortcut, but it does work.
Thanks,
Suzanne Erb

Re: A weird issue with typing in Sonoma

[Suzanne Erb]

Hello,
Do you have single key QuickNav on? If so, you will run into problems typing. I 
don’t know if this is a bug, or if it is a work in progress, but I keep having 
to turn it on and off, depending on what I’m trying to accomplish. Toggle Vo-Q 
for Single Key Quicknav on and off.
Good luck.

Hello,
If you’re just recording lectures using a Mac, you can use QuickTime Player. It 
comes already installed on your Mac.

Re: Reading on Pages and Text Edit

I also wonder whether it might be helpful to contact Apple Accessibility 
877-204-3930. Perhaps you can show them what you are experiencing so that they 
can address it in a future update.

Re: Braille SupportFixes

[Suzanne Erb]

Hello,
Have you contacted Apple Accessibility about the bugs you are experiencing? I 
know it sometimes feels like you’re talking to thin air, but they are more 
likely to fix things when bugs are documented with them.
It’s also particularly helpful if you can be specific and showing them actual 
examples that you are encountering.
Good luck.
Suzanne

Re: Zoomax E-reader again

[Suzanne Erb]

Hello,
When you remove your card, are they still in the internal drive of your Zoomax? 
When your sd or other device is attached to your Zoomax, all the files will 
appear in the book reader. 
If they are still on the internal drive, you can delete them if you 
don’t want them to remain there.

Re: Question about outlook

[Suzanne Erb]

Hello,
At my most recent job, I was encouraged to use Outlook, but I didn’t. I was 
able to just set up my employer’s account in Mail. No one ever knew that I did 
not use Outlook.
I was surprised at how easy it was to set up.  I believe it was 
considered an "Exchange account'. Unfortunately, I don’t remember exactly how I 
did it, but it was certainly doable. All of my mail showed up in my"All 
Inboxes” section with no problem.
Perhaps someone else on the list can give you further instructions, but 
I can definitely say that I was  pleasantly surprised at how well it worked.
Also, I was able to use Pages and TextEdit for word processing. I was 
able to save documents as Word documents with no problem. Granted, I didn’t 
have to use crazy formatting, but I never had any issues
Hope everything works out well for you.

[Suzanne Erb]

Hello Everyone,
I apologize in advance for the cross posting. I accidentally opened a website I 
didn’t want to open, and  ow I keep receiving messages that I need to renew my 
virus protection, which of course is a lot of junk.
When I go into the notification Center, and hit VO-Command-Space, I can 
close it, but it comes right back. I know there is a way to clear this notice 
for good, but I can’t think of the keystrokes to accomplish this.  I have not 
activated anything, but I would like to get rid of this notification.
Thanks in advance for the assistance, and again, I am sorry for the 
cross-posting.
Be Well,
Suzanne

[Suzanne Erb]

Hello,
The only way I have been able to get rid of things like disk not ejecting 
properly is holding down the Fn, VO, and hitting the o key. Then I get a menu 
with choices, including the close button.
That generally seems to work.
Happy notice squelching,
Suzanne

Re: Focus Issues since Sonoma Upgrade

[Suzanne Erb]

Hello,
I’m on the phone with Apple Accessibility now.  Apparently, someone else has 
reported this issue.  Someone thought I was referring to iOS, but they did 
actually find a report of something similar happening on Sonoma.  Apparently, 
they are aware of the issue and are working in it.
I am on hold.  If I learn anything, I’ll report back.
Cheers,

Re: Accessibility on Mac OS with VoiceOver

Try using the Caps Lock for VOkey.  Also try using qucik nav.

 Furthermore, unless someone is using both MacOS with VoiceOver and
 MS-Windows with JAWS (or an alternative screen reader) what would be the
 basis of comparison anyway?

Re: Accessibility on Mac OS with VoiceOver

[Suzanne Erb]

I have found that I can read Microsoft materials just fine on my Mac, and I can 
save materials written in Pages, Numbers, etc., as Microsoft Word or Excel 
formats, whichever is necessary.  
Microsoft Teams is a bit of a problem, but then again, Teams takes some 
getting used to, and Microsoft should address this.
I can participate in meetings using Teams, but I have not figured out how to 
schedule meetings using Teams.
I have also ben able to participate in chats using Teams, but it is not 
my preferred way for conversing with others on my team.

Re: When It Comes to iPhone, Are You All Thumbs?

[Suzanne Erb]

Hello,
I almost never use my thumbs to type.  My thumbs are rather small, so I 
primarily use my index finger to type.  Sometimes I type with my left hand, 
sometimes my right.  I always use touch typing.
When actually sending a text, I often use the dictate feature within 
the messages app itself, and then correct mistakes once it’s been typed.  I 
find that Siri works better sending texts within the messages app, rather than 
just asking her to send a text from outside the app.

Re: Some Mac questions

[Suzanne Erb]

Hello,
The command for sending an e-mail is Command-Shift-D.
In general, to find application specific commands for each application, 
use your voice-Over keys plus m
 to view th menus.  Use your right and left arrows to navigate between 
categories, and the up and down arrows to look at all the choices unbder each 
menu.
If I need to provide a document in Word format, I usually write the 
document in Pages and save it as a .docx file.  
If I generally use TextEdit or Pages.
Best,
Suzanne
