Re: Location of script to say time [was Re: Voiceover dictionary in Apple Script.]

2010-10-07 Thread Scott Howell
THanks Esther, you reminded me that I still need to figure out how to modify 
that script. I wanted to have it announce time in the 24 hour format, which I 
prefer. I remember looking at the script, but not having sufficient knowledge, 
I could not quite figure out how to modify it. So, now it is on my list of 
things to do. :)

 Hi Geoff, Jonathan, Nic, Sarah, and Others,
 
 OK, thanks to Nic's reminder that toggling on keyboard help (VO+k) has 
 VoiceOver announce the path to scripts enabled by Keyboard Commander, 
 pressing the Right Option key+t gives the information that the time of day 
 script may be found in:
 
 /System/Library/PrivateFrameworks/ScreenReader.framework/Versions/A/Resources/Scripts
 
 as the entry TimeOfDay.applescript
 
 So those of you who want to navigate to that script, from Finder use 
 Command+Shift+G (the Go to Folder shortcut), then copy and paste in the 
 path given above to the folder in the /System/Library directory and press 
 return.  In that folder look for a file named TimeOfDay.applescript.  
 Geoff, you can ignore the attached version of the script I sent you off list; 
 this is the version Apple is using with Right Option key+T when you have 
 Keyboard Commanders turned on under the Commanders menu of VoiceOver Utility. 
  (This also explains why it didn't come up when I ran a find command from 
 terminal -- I was searching for a file with .scpt extension, and these all 
 have .applescript extensions.)
 
 This is Snow Leopard only.  Also, those of you who want to speed up the time 
 announcement, the rate is set for Text to Speech on your system, not the 
 VoiceOver  speaking rate.  This is set under the Text to Speech tab of the 
 Speech menu under System Preferences. To change the Text to Speech speaking 
 rate:
 
 1. Press either Control+F2 or VO+M to navigate to the Apple menu on the menu 
 bar.
 2. Arrow down and press s y and return to bring up System Preferences
 3. Navigate (e.g., tab, or use item chooser menu) to Speech and press 
 (VO+Space)
 4. Navigate (VO+Right arrow) to the Text to Speech tab and press (VO+Space)
 5. Navigate (VO+Right arrow) past the pop up button for the System Voice to 
 the slider for Speaking Rate and interact, then use your VO+arrow keys to set 
 the speaking rate.  (Optional: if your language set up is not English, change 
 the system voice from Alex to one that works for your language.  For example, 
 if you are a French speaker and have bought the Infovox French voices, 
 VO+Space on the pop up button for the System Voice and change this to Alice 
 or Julie.)
 6. If you did not set up your clock to automatically announce time (on the 
 hours, half hour, or quarter hour) when you first set up your Mac, you can do 
 so from this pane.  Continue to navigate (VO+Right arrow) past To have clock 
 announce the time: to the Open Date  Time Preferences button and press 
 (VO+Space).
 6a. Navigate (VO+Right arrow) on the Date  Time preference pane to the 
 Clock tab and press (VO+Space) to select.
 6b. Navigate (VO+Right arrow) to the check box for Announce the time: and 
 VO+Space to check it
 6c. Navigate (VO+Right arrow) to the pop up button and use your arrow keys to 
 select On the hour, On the half hour, or On the quarter hour.
 6d. Optionally navigate (VO+Right arrow) to the Customize Voice… button and 
 press (VO+Space).  This takes you back to the speech menu to let you select 
 another voice for text to speech announcements.  Presumably, you already did 
 this.
 7. Close the system preferences window with Command+W
 
 Once again, this assumes that you have have checked Keyboard Commander under 
 VoiceOver Utility so that you can press Right Option key+T to announce the 
 time under Snow Leopard.  The instructions for setting the speaking rate work 
 for all text to speech functions, except for the text to speech in Adobe 
 Reader, which ignores your System Preference settings for text to speech and 
 requires you to set up all your options in the rather complex menu structure 
 of Adobe Reader's own preferences menu.  (You have to find both the locations 
 to set in the preferences menu you bring up with Command+comma, and the 
 option shortcuts to turn on text to speech in the View menu of the 
 application.)
 
 HTH.  Cheers,
 
 Esther

Re: Voiceover dictionary in Apple Script.

2010-10-06 Thread GEOFF WAALER
To answer my own question with the assistance of an off list note from  Alex 
Jurgensen I can answer part of my own question.  When launching the dictionary, 
focus is in a tool bar which VO automatically interacts with, hence the first 
step is to stop that interaction which renders the 22 available voice commands 
visible.

Would still love to find that time of date script though so as to get an idea 
about the syntax and methodology.

Best regards.
Geoff

The voice over manual has some descriptions of what you can do with
apple script in VoiceOver.  Essentially I think you can do things like
Voice-Over find and read item in voice Over caret.  The really cool
things that you can do in say a jaws script have to be done with UI
agents.  So there is a way to capture when the active wwindow is
changed from say Mail to iChat , but the VoiceOver appleScript
additions do not provide that functionality.

Was there something specific you were looking at doing?

Location of script to say time [was Re: Voiceover dictionary in Apple Script.]

2010-10-06 Thread Esther

Hi Geoff, Jonathan, Nic, Sarah, and Others,

OK, thanks to Nic's reminder that toggling on keyboard help (VO+k) has 
VoiceOver announce the path to scripts enabled by Keyboard Commander, pressing 
the Right Option key+t gives the information that the time of day script may be 
found in:

/System/Library/PrivateFrameworks/ScreenReader.framework/Versions/A/Resources/Scripts

as the entry TimeOfDay.applescript

So those of you who want to navigate to that script, from Finder use Command+Shift+G (the Go to Folder shortcut), 
then copy and paste in the path given above to the folder in the /System/Library directory and press return.  In that folder look 
for a file named TimeOfDay.applescript.  Geoff, you can ignore the attached version of the script I sent you off 
list; this is the version Apple is using with Right Option key+T when you have Keyboard Commanders turned on under the Commanders 
menu of VoiceOver Utility.  (This also explains why it didn't come up when I ran a find command from terminal -- I 
was searching for a file with .scpt extension, and these all have .applescript extensions.)

This is Snow Leopard only.  Also, those of you who want to speed up the time 
announcement, the rate is set for Text to Speech on your system, not the VoiceOver  
speaking rate.  This is set under the Text to Speech tab of the Speech menu 
under System Preferences. To change the Text to Speech speaking rate:

Re: Location of script to say time [was Re: Voiceover dictionary in Apple Script.]

2010-10-06 Thread Nicolai Svendsen
Hi!

Just to add to the steps, Esther.

It's very important to mention that, if you do have the box checked in the 
VoiceOver UtilityGeneral tab to allow VoiceOVer to be controlled by 
AppleScript it will behave slightly different. In  this instance, it will use 
VoiceOver's speech settings to announce the information regardless of the 
script. If it is not checked, those steps apply. That means that, if the box is 
indeed checked, VoiceOver will speak the information whereas if it is 
unchecked, it will use Apple Speech Manager and your System Speech preferences 
apply.

 so from this pane.  Continue to navigate (VO+Right arrow) past To have clock 
 announce the time: to the Open Date  Time Preferences button and press 
 (VO+Space).
 6a. Navigate (VO+Right arrow) on the Date  Time preference pane to the 
 Clock tab and press (VO+Space) to select.
 6b. Navigate (VO+Right arrow) to the check box for Announce the time: and 
 VO+Space to check it
 6c. Navigate (VO+Right arrow) to the pop up button and use your arrow keys to 
 select On the hour, On the half hour, or On the quarter hour.
 6d. Optionally navigate (VO+Right arrow) to the Customize Voice… button and 
 press (VO+Space).  This takes you back to the speech menu to let you select 
 another voice for text to speech announcements.  Presumably, you already did 
 this.
 7. Close the system preferences window with Command+W
 
 Once again, this assumes that you have have checked Keyboard Commander under 
 VoiceOver Utility so that you can press Right Option key+T to announce the 
 time under Snow Leopard.  The instructions for setting the speaking rate work 
 for all text to speech functions, except for the text to speech in Adobe 
 Reader, which ignores your System Preference settings for text to speech and 
 requires you to set up all your options in the rather complex menu structure 
 of Adobe Reader's own preferences menu.  (You have to find both the locations 
 to set in the preferences menu you bring up with Command+comma, and the 
 option shortcuts to turn on text to speech in the View menu of the 
 application.)
 
 HTH.  Cheers,

  Hi!
  
  For those who are curious if you did not try this yet, toggling on 
  keyboard help and hitting the command for the script tells you the path.
