I too have a carpal tunnel issue. I also look forward to accessing the book app 
with voice commands, and minimal keystrokes.

I tried assigning the read next sentence and read prior sentence commands to 
single keys in the Quick NAV and keyboard commanders, but they don’t function 
and text field of iBooks for some reason. So, I then rigged up a system of a 
piece of wood and a 2 1/2 pound weight to hold down the function control option 
and command keys and therefore allowing me to read down and up Buy sentence  
with a single key press on the up and down arrows. This will save a lot of wear 
and tear on my left hand nerves.

Epub books with ibooks app

2020-02-14 Thread hemakarah 
Hi all, 

 

I downloaded a book from Bookshare. It was in Epub format. First time, I could 
access the book flawlessly using the Ibook app on the Mac. Second time, it 
could read just the cover page. It was just saying bullet, bullet, and the 
like. No idea why this happened. Kindly guide me. Kurzweil 3000 looks very 
accessible when it comes to bookshare. But the software is damn expensive for 
me.

 

Take care,

Hem.

Hello,

 

I have always had mouse cursor set up to follow VO cursor.  As for other 
configurations, there are so many you will probably need to experiment.  
Remember, once you’ve configured Voiceover to your liking, you can export 
configurations and keep them in case you ever have to reset Voiceover.  It will 
make things easier for you.  Good luck.

You could install MacTeX and then write your document in LaTeX with whatever 
text editor you prefer. TextMate would be a good option. Also, TeXShop (part of 
the MacTeX distribution) seems to be fairly accessible.

Another possibility would be to write in Markdown, then use Pandoc to convert 
the document to PDF or HTML. However, if you want greater control of layout and 
presentation, LaTeX is the right tool to use.

For a good introduction: 
http://latex.silmaril.ie/formattinginformation/index.html

If you want to write papers or books with a bibliography and references, there 
are automatic citation generation tools for both Pandoc and LaTeX.

Is there any VO friendly App for Mac OS Catalina which uses mark up tags to 
create a document and then process it to create PDF or DOCX files?
Many thanks for any tips.

Hi Tim and all,

 

Thanks so much for the explanation. I deleted the accidentally created alias 
stuff.

 

On email:

Can I press tabs to move between to field, the cc field, and the body field 
when composing a message? Should I interact with message table before composing 
an email? Kindly let me know.

 

Warmly,

Hi,

 

No, the alias is simply a pointer to the original file or document so deleting 
the alias only deletes the alias.  The keyboard command for creating an alias 
is cmd-l.  As already mentioned, use cmd-delete to put an item into the Trash.  
With respect to Mail, use cmd-n to start a new Mail message, use cmd-r to reply 
to a message you have just read, use cmd-shift-d to send the message you just 
composed.  Use Delete to delete a message.

You can create an alias for a file, so that whatever changes you make to the 
alias, it will also change the original — or vice-versa. I put my aliases on my 
desktop so they are easy to find. You can also put an alias on your dick if 
that works better for you.

Subject: Text based resource for iOS 13 from a blindness perspective

I am one of those folks who vastly prefers text based resources for learning 
rather than Podcasts. I find that much more efficient, especially when it comes 
to needing to refer to something that you’ve already read and forgotten. So, I 
am wondering if there is going to be a text based resource this year for iOS 
13. Jonathan Mosen used to do an excellent one, but he’s not doing it anymore.

I know a couple of folks have done text based resources, and Anna, who is one 
of them, is on at least some of the list where I’m sending this message. The 
thing I liked about Jonathan‘s book was that it came out when you needed it, 
simultaneously with the upgrade. So I’m wondering if anybody knows whether 
Anna‘s book or perhaps Shelly’s book are going to be released in the near 
future. Hoping for something besides podcasts, please!
Mary

Keep in mind that the body of an email message is not an edit field so the 
system focus can not move to it.  That is why tab doesn’t work in this 
instance.  If this is indeed what you are talking about.
