RE: I know we have several people from New Zealand on list

2016-11-15 Thread Simon Fogarty
Hi yes approximately 2000 after shocks thus far,
 A couple on Tuesday afternoon local nz time that were up in the 5 range,

 
Yes lots of people went to work but of course that depended on your location,  
a lot of damage in the closer towns / cities but Wellington city has a good 
couple of blocks shut off due to damage done to buildings.

 At least one of those to come down if it doesn't fall down first in an after 
shock.

I am very very thankful indeed that all of you are well.I did smile 
when David wrote of going to work a few hours afterward.  I have not checked 
yet, but is there any talk  of aftershocks along with the tsunami?

RE: I know we have several people from New Zealand on list

2016-11-15 Thread Simon Fogarty
Hi Donna,
 Very safe in my case, sitting on the reclining chair with feet up watching 
news on tv.

 Thinking of food,

 Where as 500 to 600 Km north of me are a couple of thousand people struggling 
to sleep or eat due to the damages from the quake.

 Then in the capital city wellington the worse damaged major city  we've got 
city streets and buildings being closed off due to damage from the quake,

 One such building is seemingly on  a lean and they have advised today that it 
will be demoed  

But good work being done by all parties to get people to safety and the major 
damaged areas cleaned up.

Hi scott and all,

 As of today the earthquake has been increased in strength to a 7.8 from the 
original 7.5.

Currently  trapped tourists are being moved out of Kaikoura by either Helo and 
as of this afternoon the NZ navy  HMNZ Canterbury 
There is a US naval cruiser and a Canadian frigget and an Austrailian navel 
vessel  all meant to be turning up this evening to help ship trapped people 
out, 

this area of NZ   is very popular for tourists as it's got a lot of whale and 
seal marine life tourism  
people pay to go out in boats to watch whales playing around in the surf.

 Road access has just been opened to the area of concern late this afternoon, 
one lane opened through a 50 Km area that was blocked by slips

Otherwise only access by sea or air,

I thought about you all today and hoped you would be OK.  I hate that disabled 
people are having to cope with disasters especially if they are alone.  I 
remember waking up to a earth tremour here in the UK and I was frightened 
especially as I was alone with my dog which is still the case now.  I'd rather 
die with people around me rather than being alone.

We all appreciate it.

Scot as for being from Davids neck of the woods, actually we're at different 
ends of the country,

I'm in Dunedin, which is approx. 6 hours by road from twhere the eppi center 
would have been, david from memory is in Auckland which is approx. probably 
close to 1200 if not more kilometres north of where the quake was,

Unlike david, I slept all night  and didn't feel a thing,  I know David is an 
import to NZ but it would appear Auckland is rubbing off on him because he woke 
to the quake  soft like auklanders are! However he's alright and will catch up 
on his sleep tonight.

Re: I know we have several people from New Zealand on list

2016-11-14 Thread Scott Granados
Well I can definitely relate to that.  Notice I used to live in San 
Francisco.:)  Between the taxes and the cost of living the quakes were the 
final straw.  I don’t mind hurricanes or storms you get advanced warning.  
There isn’t a really valid advanced warning system for quakes yet although I 
know efforts are being made in that area and some claim animals run away just 
before a quake which I believe is possible.  My cat used to hate quakes but she 
seemed to only react during them and hide for a day or so until things calmed 
down.  I like being on solid east coast ground where we have quakes but all sub 
3.0 on the scale and the plates don’t stick here so we don’t have any of any 
size.

Good luck, we’re pulling for you.

RE: I know we have several people from New Zealand on list

2016-11-14 Thread Simon Fogarty
 Thanks for the thoughts girls and guys,

 We all appreciate it.

 Scot as for being from Davids neck of the woods, actually we're at different 
ends of the country,

I'm in Dunedin, which is approx. 6 hours by road from twhere the eppi center 
would have been, david from memory is in Auckland which is approx. probably 
close to 1200 if not more kilometres north of where the quake was,

 Unlike david, I slept all night  and didn't feel a thing,  I know David is an 
import to NZ but it would appear Auckland is rubbing off on him because he woke 
to the quake  soft like auklanders are! However he's alright and will catch up 
on his sleep tonight.

RE: I know we have several people from New Zealand on list

2016-11-14 Thread Simon Fogarty
Hi David,

 Sorry to hear you had a bad night,
 From reports I've heard the main quake struck as David said after midnight 
local time, we have one time zone here.
   There were / have been up till now approx. 450 +/- after shocks I had heard 
something about there having been some smaller quakes north of wellington, 

 Not confirmed but it is a fault line area. Main damage as I stated previously 
is inferstructure within the northern Canterbury area mainly roads and rail 
systems   between Christchurch and northern parts of south island,  has cut off 
all raod and rail freight shipments  from north island to Christchurch by road 
/ rail, it's kind of difficult to explain the eppi centre area, but imagine the 
ruggidous coast line of rocks and mountains up to the water line then cut a 
road way out of the side of the mountain above the coastal shore,oh and for 
good measure put a few tunnels along the way for the rail lines and road to go 
through,  that's pretty much the landscape along the shore line in the area the 
quake struck.
 Wellington is a good 300 Km north of where the quake struck

RE: I know we have several people from New Zealand on list

2016-11-14 Thread Simon Fogarty
Hi Scott,

 The quake was centred approx. 2 hours drive north of Christchurch  largest 
city in south island,
  Approx. 15 Km deep  and yes 7.5 was the reported strength, however the big 
one doubled up with a slightly less powerfull quake within minutes of each 
other, causing approx. 2 minutes of rocking and rolling.

The eppi centre was in a very ruggid coastline / mountainous area of the south 
island coast  cutting off road and rail lines north of Christchurch, 

The quake was felt pretty much the length of the country  I've heard of people 
in Invercargill southern most city in NZ to  Auckland at the north end having 
felt it but I know people in Dunedin did feel it.
Dunedin is aprox 400Km south of christchurch, Where I live, ( i sleep pretty 
soundly!


 there were tidal wave warnings the length of the nz  east coast, noticible  
tidal movements after the quake off the southern wellington coastline  and 
damage to city with broken glass from high rise buildings etc.

 Most people kept out of CBD of wellington city wellington is our capital and 
ssitsat the bottom end of our North island,

 current count is two lives lost to the quake although one of those also 
medical issue related, the other pretty much the house fell on him during the 
night, mans 100 year old mother was escorted from the devistation   
I believe curretnly the after shock count is up over 450 including some larger 
after shocks of around the 6 mark on the scale,

 the majority thus far of damage is from reports is roading and rail 
inferstructure  bridges landslides including  tunnels being blocked along the 
kaikoura coast which is pretty much the eppi centre.other than that NZ takes 
another one on the chin,

Re: I know we have several people from New Zealand on list

2016-11-13 Thread Tim Kilburn
Hi,

I hope all is well for our New Zealand folk as well.  Simon, David and others 
who I apologize for not naming specifically.  I was travelling most of today 
and thus away from media, therefore missed the news until reading this thread 
this evening.  I certainly appreciated all the well wishes last May during our 
wildfires, and know how much all the thoughts and prayers from members of this 
list made me feel truly hopeful.  I sincerely hope for the best for you all in 
this time of tragedy.

Later...

Well said, and I fully support our subscribers from New Zealand at a difficult
time.

If the New Zealand government is equipped to deliver emergency messages via
mobile phones, then at least the information should be accessible with
VoiceOver on iOS devices. I'm from Australia, but I've been working in the
United States for a few years. The emergency messages delivered here are
signaled by loud alert sounds on the phone. I assume they're sent to every
mobile phone in a given area. VoiceOver can then read the content of the
message, as though it were an ordinary text message.

Hi Scott,

The quake struck just after midnight local time. It woke me up. The news is 
reporting some possible structural damage in central city Wellington. 
Apparently the entire country felt the shake. There is a tsunami warning in 
effect. I have been woken up by a few aftershocks: I am going back to sleep for 
another couple hours before I need to get up for work.

2015-11-29 Thread Michelle's Home emails
Hi there,

 

Michelle Stevens here,

 

I am a new Mac Book Air user.  I have had my Mac  for 6 months and love it.
One of the things I love about Apple is that because I am Blind I use
VoiceOver and a Braille display connected to my mac. It is very friendly
with adapted technology.  I unpacked it turned it on, a friend helped me to
get started and away I went.   

 

Ok I have had a hell of a learning curb and am still learning.  

 

I look forward learning from you all.

 

Kind regards

Michelle Stevens

yes, we use the term vo command by pressing control and option at the same time.
By getting the command help for voice over, press VO h or in other words, 
control option h.

Re: new to the list

2015-07-06 Thread Christopher-Mark Gilland

1.  Navigate to  the item you wish to drag.

2.  Route your mouse pointer to the Voiceover cursor with vo+Command+F5.

3.  Press vo+command+shift+spacebar to begin the drag drop process.

4.  Navigate to the item where you want to drop the item you're dragging.

5.  Route your mouse once again with vo+Command+F5.

6.  Drop the item, thereby finnishing the process by pressing 
vo+command+shift+spacebar once again.



Note that perhaps an easier way is to:

1.  Locate the first item which you want to drag and drop.

2.  Press vo+Comma.

3.  Locate where you wish to drop the item.

4.  Press vo+period.

I've found this method not to be nearly as reliable though.

Chris.

Re: New to the List

2015-01-23 Thread Erik Heil
Hi
F first of all, I want to thank all of you for your excellent responses.
Well, I will certainly try the applications that were suggested. STD
before, recording isn't really an issue right now, but maybe in the future.
As for as an accessible MUD client, we can wait on that, as its not really
a priority at the moment.  Telnet works just fine, provided I use visually
impaired mode,where supported.  I plan to write the friendly workers at
accessibil...@apple.com in order to try and get a usable solution to the
terminal-based issues.  Note that I come from a UNIX and Linux background,
so I'm am of course comfortable with various shells, as well as writing
shell scripts.  I see that Voiceover has the ability to be controlled via
Apple Script, which is promising.  However, in order to get cursor tracking
working, and a much better user experience within Terminal, its going to
take more than Apple Scripts. Anyways, as I said before, this is an
excellent discussion, so it's go for it.

 Here are steps on how to enter a URL manually into radium.
 If you're using TuneIn's website, do a search and find the station.
 Once it starts playing, press command L to open the location box.
 Copy the URL.
 Now, open radium.
 Find the More options menu button, and press spacebar.
 Go down to import URL, or you can just press command =.
 The URL will automatically be inserted. You can enter the station name and

Hello everyone.  Well, i'm the new proud owner of a iMac late 2013 model, 
and have had it for almost weeks.  So far, I love it, and the learning 
curve is not difficult at all. However, I have a few questions, which 
probably aren't too difficult.  So, here goes.

1. Whatwould you recommend as an accessible IRC client? Note that I have 
Adium installed, but that's not a perfect solution. If Adium reads the 
messages as they come in, their's no way to control the rate of speech, or 
just to bypass all queued messages and start reading the new text that is 
being displayed in the channel.  For channels which are not high-traffic, 
this isn't a problem.  However, if you have a channel which has a lot of 
users sending messages, this simply does not work.  I would use console 
applications such as epic or other IRC clients, but their are major issues 
with Voiceover reading incoming text in console-based applications.  Cursor 
tracking using Voiceover seems nonexistent, as well as a myriad of issues.

2.  What would you recommend as a very accessible MUDD client? Preferably a 
client that supports MCP, sounds, etc?
3. What do you all use to listen to Internet Radio? 
4. Flash Plugin? Should I bother installing it on this machine? 

Thanks for all your time. If I get enough answers, I will post a summary 
document in return for your time spent researching and answering my 
questions.

Re: New to the List

2015-01-22 Thread Grant Hardy
The Radio Recorder app is also very similar to TuneIn or Ootunes on iOS 
devices. It can even record automatically in case you hear something and 
realize you want to listen to it again. I’ve no idea which app offers the more 
comprehensive directory as I’ve never tried Radium, but that shouldn’t be an 
issue since you can always add URLs manually. Having that recording 
functionality might be good for later use if you’re going to buy an app.

 Hello.
 I can only answer two of your questions.
 A good internet radi app is called Radium. It's $10 in the app store, and not 
 only a bunch of paid subscriptions such as SiriusXM U.S. and Canada, but 
 Di.fm, RadioTunes, formally Sky.FM, and many others. It also had a lot of 
 internet radio stations.
 Honestly, flash isn't important for your machine.
 A lot of websites use HTML 5, and sites like youtube have a special HTML 5 
 version of their website.
 I apologize that I couldn't be of any further assistance.

 Hello everyone.  Well, i'm the new proud owner of a iMac late 2013 model, 
 and have had it for almost weeks.  So far, I love it, and the learning curve 
 is not difficult at all. However, I have a few questions, which probably 
 aren't too difficult.  So, here goes.
 
 1. Whatwould you recommend as an accessible IRC client? Note that I have 
 Adium installed, but that's not a perfect solution. If Adium reads the 
 messages as they come in, their's no way to control the rate of speech, or 
 just to bypass all queued messages and start reading the new text that is 
 being displayed in the channel.  For channels which are not high-traffic, 
 this isn't a problem.  However, if you have a channel which has a lot of 
 users sending messages, this simply does not work.  I would use console 
 applications such as epic or other IRC clients, but their are major issues 
 with Voiceover reading incoming text in console-based applications.  Cursor 
 tracking using Voiceover seems nonexistent, as well as a myriad of issues.
 
 2.  What would you recommend as a very accessible MUDD client? Preferably a 
 client that supports MCP, sounds, etc?
 3. What do you all use to listen to Internet Radio? 
 4. Flash Plugin? Should I bother installing it on this machine? 
 
 Thanks for all your time. If I get enough answers, I will post a summary 
 document in return for your time spent researching and answering my 
 questions.

Hi,
You have to hit the Download the stream to listen link on the TuneIn page.
Then copy that link into radium.

Here are steps on how to enter a URL manually into radium.
If you're using TuneIn's website, do a search and find the station.
Once it starts playing, press command L to open the location box.
Copy the URL.
Now, open radium.
Find the More options menu button, and press spacebar.
Go down to import URL, or you can just press command =.
The URL will automatically be inserted. You can enter the station name and 
short description for your favourites, and press enter to save the station to 
your favourites.
Hth.

 Hello everyone.  Well, i'm the new proud owner of a iMac late 2013 model,

 curve is not difficult at all. However, I have a few questions, which 
 probably aren't too difficult.  So, here goes.
 
 1. Whatwould you recommend as an accessible IRC client? Note that I have 
 Adium installed, but that's not a perfect solution. If Adium reads the 
 messages as they come in, their's no way to control the rate of speech, 
 or just to bypass all queued messages and start reading the new text that 
 is being displayed in the channel.  For channels which are not 
 high-traffic, this isn't a problem.  However, if you have a channel which 
 has a lot of users sending messages, this simply does not work.  I would 
 use console applications such as epic or other IRC clients, but their are 
 major issues with Voiceover reading incoming text in console-based 
 applications.  Cursor tracking using Voiceover seems nonexistent, as well 
 as a myriad of issues.
 
 2.  What would you recommend as a very accessible MUDD client? Preferably 
 a client that supports MCP, sounds, etc?
 3. What do you all use to listen to Internet Radio? 
 4. Flash Plugin? Should I bother installing it on this machine? 
 
 Thanks for all your time. If I get enough answers, I will post a summary 
 document in return for your time spent researching and answering my 
 questions.

If anyone has this app for the iPhone, can you do the same on the there and if 
so, how? If there is a way, I might get rid of Tunein Radio again.

Re: New to the List

2015-01-22 Thread Grant Hardy
Hi Erik, I can answer your last two questions. I Personally use the Radio 
Recorder app, as it can both listen to, and record directly from, internet 
radio stations. The interface leaves quite a lot to be desired, but if you add 
your most frequently listened to stations to a playlist (I’ve named mine 
“favghrites”) you should be good to go and become very efficient with the app. 
You should be able to figure out the interface with some trial and error, but 
I’m happy to offer some tips if needed as I know it’s not the most user 
friendly. Here’s the link: 
https://itunes.apple.com/ca/app/radio-recorder/id475736169?mt=12 
https://itunes.apple.com/ca/app/radio-recorder/id475736169?mt=12

If you just want to listen to internet streams, but not record them, then the 
Radium app is often recommended here: 
https://itunes.apple.com/ca/app/radium-perfect-internet-radio/id597611879?mt=12

As for Adobe Flash Player, I wouldn’t install it until you need  to. YouTube, 
SoundCloud, Netflix, and many other popular sites can play their content 
without flash, right out of the box.

Re: New to the List

2015-01-22 Thread Shawn Krasniuk
Yes, I like Radium too, although I wish since the Australian Open tennis 
tournament is now on that they have the radio station for it. For that I have 
to go to Tunein's website to listen to it. It would be nice if I could listen 
to it outside Safari if I wanted to listen to it on my Mac but oh well.
Also, it wouldn't hurt to install flash. I know for me that I like to go on 
websites that offer live TV streams for channels like ESPN 2 and such and I 
haven't found websites that stream in HTML 5. I would be up for any suggestions 
as to websites that offer streams in this format because I like being able to 
watch stuff on my TV using my Xbox 360 and it doesn't support flash. If this is 
getting off topic, then by all means, write me off list.
As for Adium, yes, I do notice that the built in speech can sometimes be 
annoying. To counter this, I use an app called Growl which has it's own options 
for speech. You can also silence it by pressing control if you have Voiceover 
on. It's $1.99 and works well with Yosemite.

 applications such as epic or other IRC clients, but their are major issues 
 with Voiceover reading incoming text in console-based applications.  Cursor 
 tracking using Voiceover seems nonexistent, as well as a myriad of issues.
 
 2.  What would you recommend as a very accessible MUDD client? Preferably a 
 client that supports MCP, sounds, etc?
 3. What do you all use to listen to Internet Radio? 
 4. Flash Plugin? Should I bother installing it on this machine? 
 
 Thanks for all your time. If I get enough answers, I will post a summary

 questions.

 Yes, I like Radium too, although I wish since the Australian Open tennis 
 tournament is now on that they have the radio station for it. For that I have 
 to go to Tunein's website to listen to it. It would be nice if I could listen 
 to it outside Safari if I wanted to listen to it on my Mac but oh well.
 Also, it wouldn't hurt to install flash. I know for me that I like to go on 
 websites that offer live TV streams for channels like ESPN 2 and such and I 
 haven't found websites that stream in HTML 5. I would be up for any 
 suggestions as to websites that offer streams in this format because I like 
 being able to watch stuff on my TV using my Xbox 360 and it doesn't support 
 flash. If this is getting off topic, then by all means, write me off list.
 As for Adium, yes, I do notice that the built in speech can sometimes be 
 annoying. To counter this, I use an app called Growl which has it's own 
 options for speech. You can also silence it by pressing control if you have 
 Voiceover on. It's $1.99 and works well with Yosemite.

 Hello.
 I can only answer two of your questions.
 A good internet radi app is called Radium. It's $10 in the app store, and 
 not only a bunch of paid subscriptions such as SiriusXM U.S. and Canada, but 
 Di.fm, RadioTunes, formally Sky.FM, and many others. It also had a lot of

 Honestly, flash isn't important for your machine.
 A lot of websites use HTML 5, and sites like youtube have a special HTML 5

Hey guys, thank you for all the suggestions. I will definitely try those 
applications. Recording is not really an issue right now, but I wish there was 
something similar to the tune in app that is available for android it all as 
iOS devices. Perhaps there is, but I'm just not aware of it.

2014-05-29 Thread Carlos Taylor
Hi all.  My name is Carlos Taylor and I'm new to the list.  I thought
I would join the list to pick up any tips and tricks of VoiceOver and
the Mac.  However, I'm not entirely new to the Mac.  I'm composing
this message using a 2008 iMac at work.  In fact, I was in the
AppleSeed program beta testing os 10.4 tiger, so I got to see
VoiceOver in its infancy.  It has really grown and matured since then.
 I even purchased a Mac Mini, but it was soon made obsolete when Apple
switched to Intel processors.  I'm planning to purchase a new Mac Mini
later this year.  Until then, I'll keep using Macs at work whenever
possible.  I'm also waiting to receive a 13-inch MacBook air to
replace a 6-year-old Windows XP based laptop for work.  I oversee
technology for students and faculty with disabilities at a mid-sized
public university.  I work with faculty and students using both Macs
and PCs, so I am trying to keep myself up-to-date in the Apple world.
I have been a long-time user of Window-Eyes and more recently, NVDA.
I've been an iPhone user since the summer of 2009, when Apple first
included VoiceOver on the iOS platform.  Going back even further, one
of  the first computers I used as a child was an apple 2e at school.
At home, we first had a commodor 64 then later got an apple 2gs.  So
that's a little about me.  I look forward to learning what I can from
the list.

for the occasional use of my husband's Windows laptop, on which I installed

It sounds like you have a lot to contribute to the list. Looking forward to

Welcome, Scott. As others have said, no question is too basic - I asked some 
when I was starting out that seem painfully obvious now, but you have to learn 
somehow.

I'd also suggest that you visit www.applevis.com. There is a page just for Mac 
beginners you might find helpful, and the Applevis community is always willing 
to answer questions or create new content to help out.

Hey Scott,

Welcome  don't feel alone.  The reasons you stated  the, basically, yearly 
upgrade fees for JAWS were what led me to switch to a mac several years ago.  
I'm on my second one now, as my first was a hand-me-down from my wife.  While 
nothing's perfect, it's, still, quite a thrill to walk into the Apple Store or 
Best Buy  start playing with the demo Macs, just like everyone else.  When 
you're ready to purchase, be sure to check out the refurbs that Apple offers.  
Also, you can occasionally find a great deal on an open-in-box @ Best Buy.  But 
again, welcome to the list.

New to the list, with lots of questions

2013-09-02 Thread Karen Poulakos

Hi,

I'm currently using a Windows pc with the Window-eyes screen reader, and am 
considering switching to  Mac when purchasing my next computer.  I'm 
wondering how the Mac experience will differ from my experience with 
Window-eyes.


1.  Is there a braille transcription program available?  I currently use 
Duxbury, with a 15 year old Index Everest embosser.  I'm open to using a 
different braille transcription program, as long as the cost isn't 
prohibitive, but I'd like to be able to use my embosser.


2.  How about OCR?  I currently use Kurzweil 1000.

3.  Are there any music notation programs that will work on the Mac?  I 
currently have not found anything that will work with Window-eyes.  I would 
like to find software that will allow me to scan music on to the computer, 
and will either read or play the music.  It would also be  nice to be able 
to write music notation on the computer.


4.  How does the word processing experience differ from pc to Mac?  I'm not 
a high power user of word, but do use it for very basic documents.  Is there 
much difference in creating and editing documents on a Mac?


How about email?  I really don't like web based email.  I prefer to download 
my email to Outlook Express.  I like the Outlook Express layout, and the 
ease in creating folders and mail rules.  Can I download my email on the 
Mac?
I'll probably come up with lots more questions.  But, these are the ones 
I've been really wondering about for quite some time.


Thanks,

Karen P

It will be very, very different, so don't go into this thinking it's just a 
matter of learning a few new keystrokes. It's not better or worse overall, just 
way different.

There is, but I have little experience with it and it is nothing like DBT. 
However, I've heard rumors that DBT will be released for Mac sometime in the 
future, so this question may be moot at some point.
 
 2.  How about OCR?  I currently use Kurzweil 1000.
There are several options, and everyone will tell you a different app or set of 
apps to use. The general consensus seems to be Abbyy Fine Reader, Docuscan 
Plus, or Prizmo as a somewhat distant third.
 
 3.  Are there any music notation programs that will work on the Mac?  I 
 currently have not found anything that will work with Window-eyes.  I would 
 like to find software that will allow me to scan music on to the computer, 
 and will either read or play the music.  It would also be  nice to be able to

I very much wish there were, but I have not found anything. Sorry.
 
 4.  How does the word processing experience differ from pc to Mac?  I'm not a 
 high power user of word, but do use it for very basic documents.  Is there 
 much difference in creating and editing documents on a Mac?
If it's only basic editing you need, then Text Edit, which is built into every 
Mac, will do fine. It supports saving files as .txt, .rtf, and .doc, and it can 
read .docx files. You can bold, underline, italicize, justify, center, change 
color, and even insert lists or images. The only porlbem is that Voiceover 
currently has trouble with tables in files, but we're all hoping that will be 
fixed in the next major OS10 update due out in a few weeks.
 
 How about email?  I really don't like web based email.  I prefer to download 
 my email to Outlook Express.  I like the Outlook Express layout, and the ease 
 in creating folders and mail rules.  Can I download my email on the Mac?
The Mc's Mail app is really nice and handles multiple email accounts in a great 
interface. Rules, folders and so on are all easily set up.

 I'll probably come up with lots more questions.  But, these are the ones I've 
 been really wondering about for quite some time.
Keep them coming. The more you can learn beforehand, the better you can prepare 
for the big change, or know that a Mac is not for you.
 
 Thanks,

Re: New to the list, with lots of questions

2013-09-02 Thread Eugenia Firth
Hi there
As I said in a post I wrote one time on file management, that was my biggest 
problem is switching to the Mac. As an experienced computer user, it took me 
about two weeks to get used to the Mac. It's not that file management is hard, 
it's just enough different that I had a little trouble until I figure out how 
to handle it better. So when you get there, if you get there, let us know.

Of course, everybody handles things differently, but it might be better if you 
make your switch before your Windows computer is gone completely. This is 
because if you have any projects that you have to get done desperately like the 
next day, it will cut down on your stress level in the first two or three 
weeks. However, if you think that you will tend to gravitate to your Windows 
computer instead of learning, then this might not be a good thing.

I have avoided this like the plague, but it is possible to install windows on a 
Macintosh computer. Some people on this list have done this, and they may want 
to tell you if that's a good thing for you to do.
Regards,
Gigi

Re: New to the list, with lots of questions

2013-09-02 Thread Mary Otten
The question to ask yourself is, why am I considering switching to a Mac?

Like you, I am a K1000 user and also a Window Eyes user.I'm not a power user of 
Word either, but I love the simplicity of printing directly to my Index 
embosser from within Word just by accessing the Duxbury item in Word's menu and 
embossing directly from there. No hassle. No 3 programs to switch among and 
mess with. As was mentioned, Duxbury is apparently working on a Mac version of 
their program. What will its capability and accessibility be, especially since 
Word on the Mac is inaccessible? Will it work with Text Edit or Pages? Nobody 
knows, but one thing we do know: it won't be free. And you already own the 
Windows version.

I don't know how many of the K1000 features you take advantage of. But I can 
say without doubt that there is no equivalent on the Mac side. There are 
solutions, and one or another might meet your needs, depending on what those 
are. But since you've already paid the money for K1000, what prompts you to 
want to switch? You could consider running Windows on a Mac, either via 
bootcamp, the solution I chose, or via VMWare Fusion. 

I bought my Mac 4 years ago with the hope that, by the time my Windows xp 
machine had to go, scanning and word processing and embossing would have 
matured to the level they are on Windows for blind users. Such is not the case, 
which is why I am sticking with Windows for some things. If you are not one of 
the I hate Microsoft ideologs, who want to use a Mac because they can and 
because they just plain don't like MS, then consider carefully before you 
decide to take on a whole new os with its attendant learning curve. 

If you're moving to a Mac because you will save money on screen readers, 
consider that the machine alone is liable to cost you more than a pc, and that 
you could put that savings towards the cost of keeping up your screen reader 
subscription, or you could try the NVDA screen reader, which is free and quite 
good for lots of things. I'm not saying Macs are bad. I'm not saying they're 
not a good solution for somebody who doesn't have an investment in Windows 
applications that are specialized, like K1000 and a screen reader. I'm just 
suggesting that you should analyze your needs and why you are considering the 
switch. I love the Apple mail program. I can't compare it with Outlook Express, 
because I never used that program. Good luck with the decision.\

Hi All,

For those interested on both lists, I've just started a Blind Photography group 
at:

Membership is open right now so y'all can join but I'll be making the group 
invite-only very shortly so we head-off spammers before they start. :)

Please feel free to come on  in and continue this great discussion!

This group is not limited to use of cameras on Macs or iDevices, but is open to 
all discussion around photography and the blind / visually impaired…

Enjoy and see y'all there!

Subject: Re: personal photo experience was: Re: taking photos when blind


Rob, while some may know that photography is one of the closest things to my 
heart, having both shot and modeled for some time, alas, the list does not 
take attachments.

And, though I find this topic to be one of my absolute favorites every time 
it comes up, we do need to focus a bit here on iDevices so perhaps we can 
continue this with an emphasis on how iDevices with cameras have influenced 
us as photographers…

For myself, I've always loved shooting images both when I could see and 
after that changed. Not only was the advent of digital photography a godsend 
as I could have the complete abandon and confidence of getting great shots 
and not needing to worry about running out of film, but when the iPhone 
became accessible and Apple had the amazing quality of insight and inclusion 
to make the camera app fully accessible, it was (and still is) a very moving 
experience for me, for which I'm eternally grateful! :)

So often, because people would assume the question, 'Why on earth would a 
blind person want to use a camera?' it is still amazingly refreshing to me 
that Apple completely flew in the face of this wrongly held assumption and 
by doing so, made it possible for many more of us to either continue the art 
we love or have the flexibility to become acquainted with a new experience 
taking photos, perhaps for the first time…

Though I'd already had quite a bit of experience composing shots both behind 
and in front of the camera, I decided it would be fun to sit in on a photo 
class that the Braille Institute offers, here in LA. I liked it so much I 
ended up enrolling in it and used my iPhone constantly, sharing shots I'd

I was like the only iPhone user in the class at the time and the quality of 
the pics really did make an impression on the instructor… There were also 
class projects similar to the one just discussed in this thread and also an 
exhibition but I'll refrain from going OT here, no matter how much I'd love 
to! :)

Anyway, for those of you whom find that you really do benefit from the 
iDevices as cameras, would you mind sharing your experiences and how these 
devices help you? Conversely, for those whom may not feel this way, what 
improvements could be made that you feel might help you be able to use the 
cameras on iDevices more easily and creatively?

Thanks a bunch y'all! Great topics and experiences! thanks so much for 
sharing!…

Smiles,

Cara :)

Subject: OT: personal photo experience was: Re: taking photos when blind


Hi,

After reading some of the post here, i feel that perhaps, might help some of
you if i share my personal story a little.

early last year, one of the local art disability organization was having a
series of 6 workshops called short in the dark for vision impaired and
blind people on photographing. there're 12 participants that are blind and
vision impaired. We all got a loan digital camera, and learning the basic of
photographic, taking photos as a blind person. The workshop was conducted by
Mr. Andrew Follows, one of the blind photographer that base in Melbourne
Australia.

After the workshops, we then, have the task of taking photos for a special
exhibition, happen in

Hi Cara and all

Wow, what an amezing discussion we have about IOS camera and blind photographe.

Thanks  Cara for creating the group. Just join. :)

I know there are some apps available to help a blind person navigating the 
digital camera or DSLR camera menu using voice over. One was been release 
sometime last year, however, needing to pull out as there are too many errors 
that needing to fix and keeping on trial.

I'll try to find some more information about it and post it to the viphone and 
also the blind photographer list later.

Great discussion from all. :)

 Rob, while some may know that photography is one of the closest things to my 
 heart, having both shot and modeled for some time, alas, the list does not 
 take attachments.
 
 And, though I find this topic to be one of my absolute favorites every time 
 it comes up, we do need to focus a bit here on iDevices so perhaps we can 
 continue this with an emphasis on how iDevices with cameras have influenced 
 us as photographers…
 
 For myself, I've always loved shooting images both when I could see and 
 after that changed. Not only was the advent of digital photography a godsend 
 as I could have the complete abandon and confidence of getting great shots 
 and not needing to worry about running out of film, but when the iPhone 
 became accessible and Apple had the amazing quality of insight and inclusion 
 to make the camera app fully accessible, it was (and still is) a very moving 
 experience for me, for which I'm eternally grateful! :)
 
 So often, because people would assume the question, 'Why on earth would a 
 blind person want to use a camera?' it is still amazingly refreshing to me 
 that Apple completely flew in the face of this wrongly held assumption and 
 by doing so, made it possible for many more of us to either continue the art 
 we love or have the flexibility to become acquainted with a new experience 
 taking photos, perhaps for the first time…
 
 Though I'd already had quite a bit of experience composing shots both behind 
 and in front of the camera, I decided it would be fun to sit in on a photo 
 class that the Braille Institute offers, here in LA. I liked it so much I 
 ended up enrolling in it and used my iPhone constantly, sharing shots I'd 
 take with the instructor / class.
 
 I was like the only iPhone user in the class at the time and the quality of

2011-09-26 Thread Cara Quinn
Hello All;

I wanted to share with you some news.

I'd firstly like to give VIPhone and MacVisionaries a heads-up and let y'all 
know that the Looktel Money Reader version 2.0 will be officially released in 
the App Store tomorrow, Sept. 27, 2011 (tonight in some areas).

Rather than just United States currencies, this version offers support for 
additional currencies such as the Euro, British Pound, and Canadian and 
Australian dollars. I'll also post the press release here as well, if someone 
doesn't beat me to it! :)

Okay, so now on to the other news. Looktel also now has a blog and mailing 
list. You can find the mailing list at:

http://groups.google.com/group/looktel

and you can find the blog at:

http://www.looktel.com/blog

Everyone is welcome and encouraged to join the list and / or blog if you're 
interested in Looktel news or products. Both the blog and mailing list are 
meant for open user discussion and feedback as well as just being a place for 
users in this community to connect with each other.

the blog will focus more on Looktel news / focused discussion and feedback 
while the mailing list is a more general community for people to chat and 
connect around our use of Looktel products.

Thanks so much for letting me share this with you and I look forward to seeing 
you all on the blog and email list!

I wish you all a lovely day / evening, wherever you may be!

Smiles,

Cara :)

New to the list and have a few questions

2011-02-24 Thread T wood
Hey everyone,

My name is Tyler. Picked myself a macbook pro 15 core i7 about 6 months ago. 
Have had nothing but good luck with it, and now that I finally have gotten used 
to the thing I have a few questions.

1. How do you use dropbox? Or actually, how can't we use it? I thought there 
was a way around that with the window chooser, but am I wrong now? I have it 
set up on my virtual machine as of right now, though it keeps telling me it 
cannot access dropbox folder even though things are being uploaded and 
downloaded.

2. This is more my main question because I'm really not happy. I bought audio 
highjack pro, and was able to highjack system audio, which was really my goal 
all along - so I could broadcast said audio to skype. I installed soundflower, 
which is required to go along with it. I eventually bought it, and soon after 
that things went a bit haywire...

I updated it, (probably a bad mistake) and it told me to instal the extra 
instant on. Well ok, I figured this must be some new king of thing. Suddenly, 
highjack doesn't work. If I highjack system audio I get nothing, and the person 
I'm trying to demonstrate on skype isn't hearing a thing iether. Ok, fine. I 
tried highjacking just one application - vlc, to be exact - and I also got 
nothing. So ok. I downgraded to my previous version, and from then on have had 
nothing but problems with the thing. If I try and highjack system audio now, I 
lose all sounds including voiceover. If I navigate out of the window to see if 
it worked (I did this multiple times, ugh) and I couldn't get back to the 
highjack checkbox, all sounds were lost and when I hard booted the thing, I got 
nothing until I went to system preferences, interacted with the preferenace 
pain and hit so quick. Then hoped like heck I could find internal 
speakers/headphones. All of this done with no speech.

I tried uninstalling audio highjack pro and soundflower completely, going as 
far as removing them from .com.apple etc. So now I'm lost...what do I do from 
here? Can I access soundflower somehow, did I do something wrong? I just want 
this to be able to work, but I can't highjack anything, including other 
programs.

3. Ok, I saw some chat about this in the archives but I'm still unclear. How 
exactly do you use caffeine? I heard there were multiple ways to go about it, 
but I'm still unclear on how exactly this is accomplished. I got told I could 
use insomnia x by hitting vo m three times, using the trackpad to find the menu 
bar for it. That, however, failed. I couldn't find anything and still can't to 
this day when I open it. So this is getting rather annoying - all I want to do 
is close the lid of this thing when I'm chatting on skype so I don't bash it 
into something one of these days and scratch it's beautiful finish...

I would also like to take the time here to thank Rick Harmon and Mike Arrigo. 
They were the main reason I made the purchas and I don't regret it in the 
slightest, $2150 or not. Probably the most stable peace of technology I've ever 
owned, and my windows laptop and windows netbook have a lot of dust on them. 
Also, the battery life, for being a core i7, is finominal. I have a few other 
questions, but I think I've rambled on enough.

thanks in advance - by the way, am always up for a chat - my contact info is 
below.
skype: the_conman283
msn is the same - just with @hotmail.com at the end.

New To The List

2009-10-28 Thread Daniel Rowe

Hi all.

I'm sereously considering switching over to the mac and also will be 
getting an iPhone when it becomes available on my network.  I've been 
following Apple's progress with voice-over since the beta of Tiger.  
Apple are an amazing company for putting all this effort into making 
their products so accessible.  admittedly I believe the prices are a bit 
steep, but you certainly get what you pay for I think.

I'll be getting an iMac as I'll want to use a better soundcard for music 
production.  I will also run windows on it so I can use sonar, or I will 
just use my existing windows machine for audio work. I haven't decided 
yet, although having everything on one machine will mean less clutter.
I love the wireless keyboard, but I wish it had a number pad, so I'll 
order the wired one instead.  Also, having to use the fn key plus the 
arrow keys to act as the six pack would frustrate me.

I have a couple of questions.  I had the chance to try the new macbook 
with the multi-touch trackpad over the weekend and was very impressed.  
After having getting used to it, I was able to read webpages in safari 
fairly well using the flick method.  does any of you know if that 
technology will find it's way onto the iMac either through use of a 
touchscreen or by a trackpad integrated into the keyboard?

Secondly, how accessible is garage band or logic with voice-over?  Or am 
I best sticking with sonar for the time being?

Thanks in advance,
Dannie

Re: New To The List

2009-10-28 Thread Nicolai Svendsen

Hi,

I definitely don't think Apple's prices are that bed. Hell, you have  
Windows laptops that cost that much, and that's basic. At least, the  
prices in my country are stupidly high for a Windows computer. And  
then, of course, I have to pay even more money to get a screen reader  
if I don't already have one. Which is about $1000 for a JAWS pro, 250  
or so bucks for the SMA update. I think Apple's prices are fairly  
reasonable when you consider that part. Not to mention you  need an  
SMA every time a new JAWS version is released if your current  
authorization doesn't cover the newest version. Besides, which Windows  
computer can you actually install literally from scratch?

Just for those reasons alone, it's worth it. I realize I'm only  
picking on JAWS, but I won't even mention Window-Eyes apparently  
charging $39.95 for a trial license. It might not seem like much, but  
I still think that's outrageous, considering it's a trial, and you  
might not even like the application.

I've said my piece about pricing. :). To me, that's worth a price that  
even a Windows laptop can beat in my country. Granted, you can use  
NVDA on Windows, but it might not be as advanced as the commercially  
available screen readers. In my opinion, VoiceOver already surpassed  
those by a long-shot. That's just my opinion, though. And that is  
technically a free solution, since you are not required to pay for  
SMAs or any of that annoying stuff. I personally think Apple should be  
commended for their commitment to accessibility to a system from the  
ground up, no additional software required. No Video Intercept issues  
*cough*. Concerning that last comment, I don't want to slam Windows.  
Just thought I'd mention that as well, since I'm sure I'm not the only  
one who has had issues with it.

Good night everybody.

 Hi all.

 I'm sereously considering switching over to the mac and also will be
 getting an iPhone when it becomes available on my network.  I've been
 following Apple's progress with voice-over since the beta of Tiger.
 Apple are an amazing company for putting all this effort into making
 their products so accessible.  admittedly I believe the prices are  
 a bit
 steep, but you certainly get what you pay for I think.

 I'll be getting an iMac as I'll want to use a better soundcard for  
 music
 production.  I will also run windows on it so I can use sonar, or I  
 will
 just use my existing windows machine for audio work. I haven't  
 decided
 yet, although having everything on one machine will mean less  
 clutter.
 I love the wireless keyboard, but I wish it had a number pad, so I'll
 order the wired one instead.  Also, having to use the fn key plus the
 arrow keys to act as the six pack would frustrate me.

 I have a couple of questions.  I had the chance to try the new  
 macbook
 with the multi-touch trackpad over the weekend and was very  
 impressed.
 After having getting used to it, I was able to read webpages in  
 safari
 fairly well using the flick method.  does any of you know if that
 technology will find it's way onto the iMac either through use of a
 touchscreen or by a trackpad integrated into the keyboard?

 Secondly, how accessible is garage band or logic with voice-over?   
 Or am
 I best sticking with sonar for the time being?

 Thanks in advance,
 Dannie

I would like to apologise to Cara for an unnecessary tone of my e-mail  
regarding the creation of the separate discussion group for IPhone. I  
need not have expressed my personal preferences in that way. I also  
apologise to the listers for their having to read such an exchange on  
the list.

 As far as list etiquette goes, as far as I'm concerned, the list
 will reflect the character of its members. smile  -You want flame

 If there's something drastic, and I need to step in as mod, then be
 assured, I will; other than that, -Be the list you want…

 Enjoy and let's explore the IPhone together!…

Re: New IPhone 3GS list regarding accessibility

Hi,

I think the iPod is different than the iPhone. The iPhone is a much  
more dynamic platform and I think that there could be many messages  
about the iPhone both at the release and then over time. There is  
certainly a group of people on the current list that are only Mac  
users and may not want the bother of all the iPhone related traffic.

 I think it's a good idea. Not everyone that owns a Mac necessarily
 wants to know about the iPhone, and vice versa. In my case I just send
 everything from vo-bs, macvoiceover and macvisionaries to the same
 mailbox using a rule, so many times I don't even pay attention to the
 list I'm reading. So the iPhone list will probably go to that mailbox
 too. This works great for me.
