Re: iOS VoiceOver - high definition voice

2012-01-16 Thread Tony Bernedal
Hi.
I got the same issue with my iPad in swedish.
I have reported it to apple accessibility so I think the best thing you can do 
is to email them and explain the problem.

 Dear all,
 
 After configuring an iPad, I’ve realized that I got the high definition voice 
 U.S. English one instead the Portuguese from Portugal one, which is my mother 
 language. The device is set to Portuguese, the Apple ID the same and, 
 actually, it’s exactly the same as my iPhone, where I didn’t have this issue.
 
 Are you having any instruction so that I can solve this?
 
 Cheers ,
 João

Re: I/o5 for iPad

2011-10-20 Thread Tony Bernedal
Hi Andrew.
Got the same issue on my iPhone I'm using at work.
Solution that worked for me was open settings and then go to store and
check your apple id so there is the one you used when you purchaed the
apps. If not, enter it and then go to appstore and do a check for
uppdates. That solved my issue.

 Dear Listers,

 I have just upgraded my operating system on iPad to number 5. I've
 noticed first of all, to my distress, that Samantha's voice has been
 substituted with David. Can I have Samantha back?

 Secondly, I don't seem to be able to launch my applications like
 iBooks, Guardian, etc. I doubletap the icon and I can hear the sound
 of the application being opened but when I touch the screen or flick,
 I am still on the home pages where all my applications are listed.

 Is anyone else having similar issues? Is there anything I should read
 about regarding the new operating system?

 Thanks for your help.

 Andrew

Recording system audio and microphone with audio hijack pro

2011-09-24 Thread Tony Bernedal
Hi all
I'm looking for instructions how to set up hijack pro to record both microphone 
and system audio. I can record mic and system audio separatly but not at same 
time. 
Does anyone have any instructions how to do this or any link to any 
descriptions. I have looked in the manual but there is only instructions for 
setting up itunes to play music together with your microphone. I tried that 
mixer but couldn't find anything related to system audio.

Many Thanks.

The only thing I have problem with is when a website pops up a dialog for

 1. VO just seems much more stable to me. I haven't had to restart it once 
 since I got Lion a week ago.
 
 2. I used to have a terrible problem with quick-nav spontaneously activating 
 itself. No more. Yay.
 
 3. I haven't had to import my vO prefs once since I've had Lion, whereas I 
 used to have to do this three times in a week.
 
 4. Safari and vO play much more nicely together, IMO. There are many fewer 
 busy messages.
 
 Good job, developers. I'm pleased in general. Of course, there are always 
 little things that don't go as smoothly as they might, but these things 
 happen with computer software.
 
 Anyone else had similar experiences to mine?

Re: The App Switcher And The Keybord Dock.

2011-04-26 Thread Tony Bernedal
Hi George.
Nice to see you here.
So you have also jumped in to the land of Apples.
From what I know there is no double tap and hold funktion from the
keyboard. I have done it from the screen and when I done it on one app
I want to close I can use the v o commands on the keyboard to navigate
to next app and hit v o + space to close it.
I have ipad 1 and the keyboard dock to it. But I almost use a
bluetooth keyboard. Reason is that apples original cover for the ipad
1 is making the unit to large to fit into the connector on the
keyboard dock. I think the ipad 2 with smartcover works better
together with keyboard docs.
Regards Tony


2011/4/26, Georges Zaynoun humorlessg...@samobile.net:
 Hello friends!

 I am pressing home on the ipad keybord dock and the app switcher is

 Thanks for all help I got previously so long, regards.

Re: I have never gotten the hang of sound flower

2011-03-29 Thread Tony Bernedal
Hi Krister.
From what I can see when I read about this unit it is a soundcard in itself 
and in Djay you can select the device to use as the main and pre listening so 
I think you can leave the system sound on the mac and let v o do it's talk 
there and let the music from djay go over the Spin.
I don't get the idea behind soundflover too. 
About djay so are there some issues I have. There are a lot of checkboxes that 
don't have labels, the help tag still work so I can figer them out. There is 
also a table wich I think includes categories of for example artists but there 
is only unknown items in that table. If I select a song and in the context 
menu select load on table 1 I can't get it to play from table 1. Maybe that's 
not v o issues but the man behind the keyboard thats the problem :). I'm going 
to try it more later.
So maybe it works better with the controler you are about to try. 
Good luck with your new gadgets.

New ipad user, need some app suggestions

2011-03-10 Thread Tony Bernedal
Hi all.
I ordered an iPad to myself for my birthday and it is a iPad 1, didn't see 
anything in the ipad 2 that I need at the moment.
Ok, I loaded it with a lot of apps and to my surprise the apps that works on 
the iPhone isn't accessible at all with the iPad version. One example is 
tweetter app wich is useable on iPhone but completely inaccessible on iPad. I 
thought that if a software works on one ios device it would work on another 
also with the specific app for the device. but I learned it the hard way that 
isn't so.
So I need some suggestions here for a couple of apps.
Twitter, what is the best app for that on ipad.
Rss, I use feeds for iphone at the moment but any other tips for apps that 
syncs with google reader on ipad is welcome.
Is it worth it to get pages for iPad?
I think it's all for now. Maybe I'll be back again with more ipad questions 
later when I get more used to the device.

 Hi.  it depends on your needs and your budget.  you don't just buy the
 software.  You need an approved piece of hardware as well to use pro tools.
 
 There are three main flavors of pro tools.  Pro tools le, pro tools m
 powered, and, pro tools hd.
 
 Pro tools le uses various avid/digidesign USB and firewire interfaces like
 the m box, 003r, 003, etc.  Pro tools m powered uses m audio and Mackie
 interfaces including the pro fire, project mix, onyx 16-4-2, etc.  Pro tools
 hd uses high end hardware consisting of pci cards, interfaces, and other
 components.
 
 The main differences besides the I/O options are the number of tracks in a
 session, and, sample rate.
  Also with hd, you can use the pci hardware to do processing which would
 free up CPU.
 
 
 A decent I mac or mac book pro would be fine for pro tools le and m powered,
 as long as you have a second hard drive you can use, like an external
 firewire drive.  For pro tools hd, you need a mac pro desktop, or, a mac
 book pro with a pci express card slot and an external case to mount the pci
 cards in...
 
 As far as cost, you're looking at minimum, $300 and up.
 
 Pro tools le or m powered are the two you'll probably want to investigate.
 
 Chec out sweetwater or musicians friend etc to read up on specs and prices.

 I must admit that I haven't been following the discussions about web kit very

Re: Using Rogue Amoeba's Radio Shift Software

2010-10-07 Thread Tony Bernedal
HI Annie, robert and all.
I have found a workaround for adjusting the volume in radioshift.
If you stop interacting with any program control and go with the v o cursor to 
the top of the window you have a unlabled button. Press the tab-key here a few 
times takes you to the volume slider and you can adjust it with left and right 
arrowkeys.
Hope this helps.

Re: Further to my braille display problem

2010-06-06 Thread Tony Bernedal
Hi Krister.
I think your displays work on your other mac and you try them on the mb pro? is 
this correct?
Did you transfer your settings from the older machine to the mb pro?
And, did you use the swedish braille table?
I have the same problem then transfering the content from a macbook to a Imac 
and I have blank braille display until I installed the swedish brailletables 
again on the newer machine. 
If you didn't have the swedish table installed, maybe reselecting braille table 
in vo settings can help you.
All the best

Re: Paring the Brailliant 40 via Bluetooth

Hi all.
I tried baum supervario 40 with bluetooth and the mac says that the driver 
can't be loaded. I think supervario 40 is the same as brailleant 40 but baum 
has their own firmware in it. Also supervario works fine on usb. Maybe thats my 
device having problems so i'm going to try another one when I can.
The key for blutooth on supervario 40 is 1234 and maybe it's the same for 
brailleant.

 The display works perfectly via USB. And I should also make the observation 
 that I have used this display on my Mac and my employer's windows machine. 
 There is no doubt that the Brailliant performs much better on the Mac than

Re: how install windows 7

Hi all.
I had the same issue with a complete original windows 7 disc and
serial number. It doesn't install at all from the disc. It spins the
disc for a while and then do nothing. So I thought it was due to the
w7 copy was a upgrade version of w7 so I installed it on my old hp
laptop instead. There it worked upgradeing vista.
So maybe the upgrade versions have different installer than the
versions for doing a complete new install.

 William,
 If you download windows images from torrents, they are usually modified
 in some way. They are not the original windows image, either because they
 have more drivers/features added to them, or they are a recovery disk for
 a certain type of computer. This messes with fusions ability to
 automatically install windows 7. I have tried the same thing. Sometimes
 it would appear to install for a while and then just sit there silently
 without doing anything. Yet, when I got an actual copy of windows 7, the
 auto install went along just fine. This was true, even when I used disk
 utility to make an ISO image of the cd, and install it from my hard
 drive. So in short, it is not fusion that is broken, it's the copy of
 windows 7 you downloaded.

 Hi listers, 
 I'm having problems running windows 7 under vmware fusion 3.0.1, the latest 
 version. Specifically, when it's running, windows 7 slows my mac down 
 considerably. My mac is a 2.4 GHZ core2 duo from 2008 with 2 gigs of ram. 
 Even with a gig of ram allocated to each system, the performance on both the 
 mac and windows is very slow. Alex starts breaking up, and it takes much 
 longer to load applications or even web sites. Also, I have noticed that my 
 fan kicks on a lot more often, even when doing something simple in windows 
 like working with a word document or opening an excel file. 
 What can I do to speed up windows 7, which seems quite bloated to me? I've 
 already disabled nonsense like system restore, arrow effects, 3d graphics 
 optimization in fusion, and file indexing. Note, even when I allow the 
 machine to use 2 processor cores, it seems rather sluggish. 
 Any suggestions? Or given my machine's configuration, should I just stick 
 with XP, which is only a temporary solution, as it will be obsolete in a year 
 or two?
 
 Thanks,

 But can itunes fill in all the other tags?

 one thing I can't get to work is e-mail.  I've switched both my phone
 and pc to imap with no problems at all.  but the mac doesn't want to
 know.  the incoming server has an invalid certificate and it can't
 connect to the smtp server.  it's really frustrating.
 I have e-mailed the tech support guys so they should hopefully have an
 answer.

 I still keep forgetting how the cursor works.  I understand what's
 happening, I just keep reverting to windows habbits.  I'll get it
 eventually.  then I'll be expecting windows to behave like the mac.

 While editing text on a webpage, say in a reply on a message board,  
 the
 home and end keys don't seem to do what they're supposed to do.  also,
 if I do vo shift m to bring up the menu of misspelled words, it clicks
 on the wrong word.  do I have to move the vo cursor onto the word I  
 want
 to change?  I was just using the arrow keys before.

 is there a command to read the current time rather than hopping over  
 to
 the status menus?  I know it's possible.

 To whoever it was who uses XMarks on the mac, did you try it on snow
 leopard?  I downloaded the snow leopard package, ran it and it says  
 that
 it requires leopard.  I'm running 10.6.1.

 I'll also need to get it to write to ntfs drives, say if I want to  
 copy
 some music I bought in itunes over to my windows machine,.

 I'm planning on buying superdooper or whatever it's called.  that  
 sounds
 like a fantastic backup solution.

 Finally, has anyone had any luck using the dashboard?  I can bring up
 the different widgets ok, they're just confusing to wirk with.
 particularly the weather one.

 I'm sure I'll come up with more questions to keep you lot busy. :)
 so like I said, if it wasn't for it not playing ball with my e-mail
 provider, I'd be totally happy and for most things, I can see myself
 using the mac exclusively.

 Bye for now,
 Dannie

Re: switching

2009-11-04 Thread Tony Bernedal

Hi.
Spottify is completely useless on the mac platform. the only thing you  
see with v o is the searchfield. They don't answer mail to the support.
Xmarks works fine. the installation is no problem and it syncs your  
bookmarks fine. The only problem I have with it is the menu in the  
menubar that v o don't find. I can locate it with the mousepointer and  
click on it and then v o reads it fine. Also the settings dialog is  
little complicated with v o. But the standard settings works fine.
Good luck.
Regards Tony

 Hi all.
 I have decided to take the plunge and get a mac either this or next  
 week
 and have a few questions.

 I use firefox on windows, and have amassed a good number of bookmarks
 over the years.  Recently I've started using an extension called
 xmarks,  which basically syncs your bookmarks and now saved passwords
 with an online server.  This allows you to recover them when you do a
 fresh install or whatever.  The reason I'm mentioning this is that  
 they
 have released a Version that is compatible with safari under sl.  Has
 anyone used Xmarks on the mac and is it accessible at all?  I want to
 make the switching over process as painless as possible and would hate
 to re-add all my bookmarks and things manually.  There's also a  
 version
 for IE by the way.

 Secondly, for those of you living in Europe, how accessible is spotify
 on the mac?  I imagine because of how VO works that it would be far  
 more
 usable than it is under windows  with jfw.

 Finally, I just want to say that I absolutely love the item  
 chooser.  I
 haven't had much chance to use SL and the web rotor but it's amazing  
 how
 quick it is to jump around webpages just using the item chooser.  It's
 one of those things that you'd think that  should have been around in
 windows screen readers for years.  Also the fact that it's available
 anywhere is fantastic.

Re: speeding up finder

Hi Howard.
My system is a mac book 13 with 2 gb ram and cpu at 2,13 ghz. runns
smoothly on other tasks and browsing folders with finder but just that
big music folder with finder gets it busy. In Itunes it works ok but I
just wanted to copy a folder out from the big music folder with finder
and then discovered this busy thing.
I red somewhere that you can switch off calculation of mapp sizes but
I can't find that so maybe that was in earlier version of the o s.

Re: my 2 months with a mac

2009-10-21 Thread Tony Bernedal

Hi again.
Wow. Echomac, never heard of it but when I google it I found
http://echomac.sourceforge.net/
I'll try it when I'm back home from work.
Anouk, I had a fire dtv reciever and used it with dvb viewer on
windows and Eye tv have driver for it so I gave it a try but it
doesn't work as I want at the moment.
I have readiris on the disk and I'm going to try it out and see how it
works with swedish language and so on.
I have heard of some broadcast tools for mac but at the moment I
haven't looked in to it. I don't broadcast at the moment so it doesn't
have so high priority. I still have my studio pc sitting under the
desk so I can use stationplaylist and all the broadcast stuff if I
want to.
Regards Tony

2009/10/21, a radix anou...@home.nl:

 Hey Tony, Nice to hear from you! (the world is a small place) Funny we
 started our mac journey at the seem time. I am curious, can you broadcast on
 the mac? I guess otsjuke wont work and obiously shoutcast wont either. I was
 thinking of running windows with vmware but now I am just thinking to ask my
 brother to help me install windows 7 via bootcamp instead. Has anyone got
 experience with installing windows via bootcamp as dual boot? Is it
 diffucult? I presume the drivers for windows 7 for the macbook pro will be
 available from apple? I still want to try vuescan an dreadiris, in fact i
 have the programs on my computer bu tI want to wait till hp releases the
 drivers for my scanner that are native to sl, also I hope by that time abbyy
 will have released a demo of finereader for the mac that is native to sl. I
 am just concerned that either adf wont work, scanning iwll be very slow or
 dutch character recognition wont be as good as omnipage.
 I am surprised that you also have the thumbkey problem, i thought it was
 something stupid on my part, corrupt install whatever. I guess we will both
 have to mail apple accessibility about this.
 So, you are using a tv tuner with your mac? This is the next thing i want to
 taccle since now I have an analog tv standing on my desk and it is taking up
 space that I could use otherwise. I did have digital tv in the past bu tI
 had a lot of trouble with it and in the end just went back to analog. There
 are not that many tuners for the mac I think (analog or otherwise) and I
 guess even less that are available in Europe. Which do you use? I guess as
 long as I get one with a remote things will be ok (if it indeed can find the
 channels).
 I too LOVE the sleep features of the mac, i never turn mine off, just close
 the lid and thats it.

 Hi Anouk.
 I have also used my mac for around 3 months now, and like you I still
 use windows for a couple of things. I trying to get the scanning and
 ocr to work on the mac but for now windows and omnipage have to do the
 jobb. I had a license for windows xp lying on the shelf from a no
 longer working laptop and I installed xp with vmware as a virtual
 machine and doing my scanning there and it works good but the virtual
 machine is very slow. I also use windows for Echolink, wich is a
 ham-radio software wich don't exist on the mac. Also the software to
 setup and program my hamradio stations is only windows programs. I'm
 very happy mac user now and after some updates to snow leopard my
 problems with it is gone.
 I hope the issue with the thumbkey on your display can be solved. I
 have same issue with alva satelite.
 I also have a battle with EyeTV software wich for some odd reason
 doesn't find my tv channels on the cable network. And it is also very
 tricky to use with VO. I use VLC for webradio and movies and it works
 great (vlc version 1.x doesn't work under windows and linux at all
 with screenreader, only on mac, great!).
 And I also like the speed, starting my windows pc here at works take
 forever and the mac is at the desktop in almost 0 time. And, the sleep
 works well too.
 So I'm happy with my mac system.
 Good luck with your mac!

HI all.
Have anyone get readiris 12 pro to work? I have it downloaded and I  
tried to run it from the applications folder but it looks like it  
hangs completely.
I have so far only red the readme file and can't see anything there.  
Maybe I have to go in the manual but I ask here if anyone else tried.
I hate when there is no demo of the software. it's bad to spen a lot

that do something wrong.

Using voice over during a call on iphone.

2009-09-19 Thread Tony Bernedal

Hi all.
I have looked around the webb but can't find answer to my ipone question.
I have used the iphone for a couple of days and so far no problem.
But a question. How do I activate voice over during a call? I red
somewhere that you can flick two fingers upwards to get v o speaking
but that didn't work.
I need v o during calls so I can navigate the phone keypad so I for
example can use tone controled systems.
Any Idea?
And when I'm at the keybord, does anyone know of a good skin or case
to use with the Iphone? I'm afraid dropping it so I want some skin or
case that makes it little more easy to hold.
But so far I like it.

 According to the Spotify web page, you're looking for someone from:
 Sweden, Norway, Finland, the UK, France or Spain.  Or else someone who
 has a jailbroken iPhone or iPod Touch and put on the Spot app from
 Cydia.

 Here's the iTunes Store URL (for those countries for which it is legal):

I'm not so impressed with s l.

2009-09-04 Thread Tony Bernedal

Hi all.
Spending yesterday evening with snow leopard and I must say that I'm
not very impressed.
Here is my observations so far.
- VO gets stuck in submenus and also jumps over menu items. This have
been discussed here before.
- In swedish translation vo says k l instad of at for the @-symbol.
- Safari and vo don't work well in html version of gmail and don't
work at all in google reader. And safari often crashes.
But there are some good points with s l. it's a bit faster and more
responsive but I'm thinking of restoring my mb back to leopard to get
the web and the menus working great again until apple fix them.
Does anyone here have any ideas how to fix the issues I'll be happy,
otherwise I roll back to leopard.
Have a nice weekend.

 I think this specific issue has been around since Tiger. Essentially
 the system is trying to read where the mouse moved to but also the VO
 cursor moved too.  The solution is to force mouse reading off when
 mouse follows VO.  I especially had problems with web pages that had
 verbose graphical descriptions when I had Mouse follows voice and
 voice speaks on.

 I think that jaws had these issues for a while, but most people didn't
 even know how to lock the jaws cursor and virtual cursor to  each
 other.

 Hi Tony,

 To avoid getting stuck in menus etc., go to VO Utilities, enter the
 navigation category and set the mouse cursor to ignore the VO
 cursor.
 This will make navigation in menus etc. work just fine. For now, you
 must use the move mouse cursor to VO cursor shortcut to have them
 at
 the same location. I suppose this issue will be fixed in the near
 future.

Re: Question: V M Ware Fusion or Parallels Desktop

2009-08-31 Thread Tony Bernedal

Hi.
I have tried vmware fusion with windows xp as a virtual machine with
jaws 9 and it works very well. I can use jaws in widnows and voice
over together but voice over takes control over some keys so to get
most commands out of jaws I focused on the virtual machine and when it
is running and jaws working I hit command-f5 and turned v o off. Doing
so let me run jaws with the laptop layout and caps lock works as the
jaws key for example.
The only thing I can't get to work is some function keys like f11 and
f12 so I can't bring up jaws systray dialog with jawskey + f11 for
example.
I'm only using this virtual machine for a few programs that don't
exest on mac, for example echolink for hamradio. So I think it works
very well with vmware fusion and voice over. The only thing I didn't
manage to get working is ubuntu under vmware. Oh, forgot to say when
you need voice over simply press command-f5 again.
Hope that helps.
You are welcome off list to me if you want to ask anything else. I'm
not a mac guru but I more then happy to share my knowledge as far as I
can.
Regards Tony


2009/8/31, M. Taylor mk...@ucla.edu:

 Hello Everyone,

 What a wealth of information I have learned from this list, today.  I have
 found answers to questins I haven't even asked, yet.  (Smile)

 Today, I decided to delete my Windows 7 Bootcamp partition.  Windows 7 ran
 beautifully along with Jaws but there was a minor glitch in some of the
 audio that I was unable to resolve with regard to the MacBook Pro speakers.
 To be quite honest, I most likely could have resolved it but I found that
 the thought of booting into Windows on my Mac kind of irked me.  I have
 enough Windows computers in my house without adding another one.

 So, I am back at square one with regard to Windows 7 and Mac.  And thus, the
 following question:

 Which virtual machine software do you recommend I use for the best Jaws 10
 and Windows 7 functionality?

 Based on anecdotal evidence, I think I'm leaning towards V M Ware but I
 realize that Parallels has been around much longer and I tend to favor those
 companies that have been on the proverbial scene longer.

 All of my sighted Mac friends strongly recommend V M Ware but they have no
 idea about Jaws functionality, of course; so I turn to you.

 I know that this list is very high traffic so you only need write which one
 you recommend; there is no need to explain why you recommend one over the
 other unless you have time to do so.

 When in a virtual machine, can one continue to use VoiceOver?  I'm a little
 confused on when one would use VO and when one must use Jaws in the virtual
 machine.

 By the way, I know that running Windows 7 in a virtual machine is a bit
 off-topic for this list so if those of you who are currently doing something
 similar wouldn't mind, I will be glad to communicate off-list.

 I understand that my questions may require some very detailed answers and
 that you may not have time to write it up; I mean, some of these answers can
 read like a novel and so, I will be happy to call anyone via telephone to
 talk about this matter.  Which ever way is convenient for you to respond,
 just let me know, OK?

 My main goal this week is to setup all of my email accounts and begin using
 my Mac exclusively for all communication.  Oh yes, I also plan on installing
 Skype and setting it up as well.

 One more thing, today I added a Macintosh category to the Candle Shore BLOG.
 Someday, I hope to be able to contribute to the Macintosh body of knowledge.


 Mark

fusion and it work fine. I tried to install ubuntu but I can't figure  
out how to start a manual install of ubuntu. I can use the automatic  
one and it worked ok, but screenreading doesn't work great with a  
normal install so Iwant to do it with the accessibillity profile from  
the beginning. So you need to press enter for language and then f5, 3,  
and then arrow down and enter to start the installer. I can't figure  
out how to do this. Anyone tried that? Or how can I get ubuntu running  
with the accessibillity profile with the autmatic install?
The reason is that I want both windows and linux on my mac to  
demonstrate all operating systems later this month and I want to have  
only one machine with me.
Regards Tony

Re: Introducing the Mac-cessibility network for Visually Impaired Mac and iPhone Users

2009-08-17 Thread Tony Bernedal

HI.
It was also an article about this network here in sweden in the
swedish version of idg.se.
Very nice that mainstream media covers mac and accessibility and not
only microsoft products.
Good job Josh!
Regards Tony


2009/8/17, Dan Eickmeier va3...@yahoo.ca:

 Just want to echo Anna's comments, what a wonderful resource, and good
 work on it as usual Josh.  The more we get Mac accessibility stuff out
 there, I think the more people will be switching to Macs, especially
 if Potential switchers have a great, and awesome resource to go to
 like the maccessiblity network.  I'm sure  Mac users, and switchers
 will be getting on there for information about the Mac.

 We are pleased to announce the launch of the Mac-cessibility
 Network, a new site devoted to the accessibility of Apple products
 and the people who use them.

 In the two years since the launch of Lioncourt.com, the site has
 grown beyond its initial aspirations and design. It was time for a
 major overhaul. This redesign comes with many new features, as well
 as the ability to more comfortably expand as the site grows.

 The main site for Mac-cessibility is now Maccessibility.net, home of
 the Mac-cessibility Network. Lioncourt.com will go on as strictly
 the news outlet for Mac-cessibility, offering news, podcasts,
 editorials, and reviews, just like always.

 The following is a list of notes and features of particular interest
 on the Mac-cessibility Network. Additional sections and content is
 already underway, and this is not an exhaustive list. We encourage
 visitors to explore the site and send us feedback.

 • Near the top of all pages, a customized Google search form allows
 users to search through the entire Mac-cessibility family of sites,
 a variety of third-party sites which offer Apple accessibility
 information, as well as a small number of the top Apple news
 resources.
 • The Mac-cessibility home page includes the latest Mac-cessibility
 news stories and Apple press releases.
 • The Mac-cessibility home page includes links to the most recent
 discussion threads from the MacVisionaries and VIPhonecommunities.
 Simply click a thread topic to view the discussion, even if you're
 not a member.
 • We've created a new iPhone section, which includes a
 revampedAccessible Apps page and FAQ.
 • We've updated and revamped our Resources section, which offers
 links to other sites and services.
 • We've updated and revamped our Guides section to make perusal and
 discovery much easier.
 • All sections now include more user friendly URL's.
 • ...and more is on the way!
 We are humbled and honored by the support the community has given
 the Mac-cessibility project, and we hope that you will find the new
 site and forthcoming services to be a vast improvement. If you find
 the Mac-cessibility Network a valuable resource, please consider
 making a contribution.

Re: connecting victor Stream to a Mac

2009-08-13 Thread Tony Bernedal

Hi
My stream shows it self like a external drive in windows, mac os x and
ubuntu just fine. Haven't tried windows with fusion under os x. I have
firmware 3.0 of the stream. I can copy files to and from the stream
just fine on all thre os-versions. The only thing I can see is that it
take a very long time to copy files on the mac but maybe it's normal,
often use cardreader on my old pc to copy files.
Regards Tony


2009/8/13, Chris Hofstader c...@hofstader.com:

 This is supposed to be why devices have generic USB descriptions - you
 might not be able to use all of the really cool features but the
 basics are in place.  If you attach a Stream to a virgin Windows
 machine and decline all of the drivers it tries to install, you will
 still see it in Windows Explorer  as something resembling a hard disk.

 I'll guess that GW got this right and that HW only got it partially
 working on Windows.  Anyone try it with a GNU/Linux distro?

 As the Stream has exports a generic external mass storage device
 profile, why can't OSX just recognize it as an external hard disk and
 let one copy files to and from it using Finder?

 Hi Chris,

 Were you able to find out anything from your Humanware connection
 about why the Stream has trouble connecting to Windows on a Mac
 running Fusion?

 Thanks a lot,
 Anna

 so let me ask you this:
 when you connect the stream, do you hear the hardware inserted
 sound?
 reason i'm asking, i didn't have trouble doing this. the first time
 it
 didn't work at all. second time it worked fine. third time was same
 as
 first time.
 I am guessing the stream uses a different mass storage driver.  I
 am
 going to ask someone from hw that i know about this tomorrow.

 Hi Chris,

 I appreciate your trying to help me connect my STream to virtual
 Windows XP. In case it makes any difference, I can connect the
 Stream
 just fine on the Mac side, so that means there's probably nothing
 wrong with my stream, my cable, or the USB port.

 Best,
 Anna

Re: antivirus software on mac

2009-08-03 Thread Tony Bernedal

Hi Anne and all.
Thanks for your answer.
then it's the same as for linux wich I run on my little netbook.
I don't use a lot of worddocuments so that's not a problem at the moment.
Regards Tony


2009/8/3, kaare dehard kaare.deh...@gmail.com:

 Hi there, I haven't found the need for one personally, but my father
 uses iantivirus, and I set it up for him so it is accessible. I did a
 google search to find it and don't have the link off hand.

 Hi all.
 Comming from the world of viruses, wich means windows, I wonder if I
 need antivirus software on macs and if so, wich one do you recommend
 out there? I know that linux is very safe itself from viruses and
 other bad stuff and I also think mac is the same.
 But I ask anyway if anyone know about good accessible antivirus
 software if I need one.

Re: braille tables

2009-07-31 Thread Tony Bernedal

Hi Anne.
The only table I have by hand right now is the one thats in jaws for
windows. Can you use that one or do you need something else.
All the best Tony

2009/7/31, Anne Robertson a...@anarchie.org.uk:

 Hello Tony,

 Unfortunately, there is a bug in Leopard that prevents uncontracted
 Braille remaining set. I have configured a Router Key on my PAC Mate
 20 to turn contracted Braille off.

 As for Swedish Braille tables, we haven't done them yet, but if you
 would care to send us the code, we'll make one for you as soon as we
 can. We've already made French and Norwegian, and Danish is in the
 pipeline. I can't give you a time line, but we'll do what we can.

 Please send the codes, preferably 8-point dot patterns with their
 corresponding print symbols and Unicode codes, to:
 cons...@anarchie.org.uk

 Cheers,

 Anne
