Re: accessible apps from the mac app store

[Scott Howell]

I have contacted Smile Software in the past to talk about making PDFPen 
accessible. I need to reach out to them again. Like so many things it is tricky 
to balance time and what one wants to do. :)

Doesn't adobe digital addition do it as well?  I have tried it here, I know it 
works with PDF, and, it's supposed to do epub books as well.

Re: accessible apps from the mac app store

[Teresa Cochran]

I seriously doubt it, though I'm not 100% sure. I am not aware of an accessible 
Mac application for editing pdf files. There is a long-standing incompatibility 
between Mac an Adobe as regards accessibility.

Go to the App Store and type "YoruFukurou" in the search box.  
You will find it in the toolbar.

All that said, I'm leary of plunging right in without a resource 
of apps that are and aren't accessible.

I'd like to hear from those of you using different apps,
For example, what RSS reader are people using, what podcast app, 
are there any accesible games?
I downloaded the RS Games server thingy last night, and Zoom for 
mac osX, for text adventures, but what else is there?

We really need an Apple Vis for mac!

Hi Scott,
Well, Amazon has kindle for pc and Mac, so I assume they must think at least
some sighted people would like to read books on a computer. Quite honestly,
one of the reasons I would like to see IBooks on the computer is that I'd
really like to read with the Alex voice and not the voices on my IPad. I
certainly agree that portability is a huge advantage, but if you had a MBP

Re: accessible apps from the mac app store

Hello Scott and others,

What about those of us who do not have ios devices? Although I do 
read my books on my BrailleNote, I would still like to have the 
option of downloading ibooks onto my Mac, seeing as some books 
are not available in Braille.  Those that are available on 
Bookshare's website are sometimes a pain.

These are just my thoughts.

Re: accessible apps from the mac app store

[Joanne Chua]

After reading on my iphone using IBooks, i agree with Scott, its
definitely one of the best experience i ever have reading a book with
fully control. However, i guess it is just some people prefference
reading on the computer. I used to done that quite a lot few years
ago, but now, i'm simply grow bore of it. i mean, i want something
that i can read on the go, not something that i stuck on my chair and
having my headphone , listening to voiceover or jaws or whatever
screen reader read to me. Before discovering how accessible IBooks is,
i use to listen to my daisy player. Now, after discovering IBooks, i
don't think i can ever put down a book again.

A book a day is no longer a dream for me, but its a reality. :)

Mary,

I find it interesting that folks would want to read books on the computer. I'm 
not saying it is right, wrong, or anything like that. It just seems to me that 
the iOS devices make the most sense as a way to read books. I wonder if sighted 
people read books on the computer? None I know do. I'm only asking the question 
because I have read on the list more than once where people want to do this and 
I find it interesting. So, not a criticism again, just asking the question.

Hello Cheree,

The 2011 Multimedia Encyclopedia runs on a Macbook and is found 
in the app store.  In that app, you can read articles found in 
the Worldbook Encyclopedia.  It is a neat app.

The Peterson's Field Guide to Birds, at least their free version,

Re: accessible apps from the mac app store

[ezzie bueno]

Hi Scott,

The thing I find unaccessible is the maps, which we can't see 
anyway.  I particularly like that I can search for anything I'd 
like, as well as just randomly listening to the various music 
samples.  The Multimedia Encyclopedia also comes with a 
dictionary.

There are text adventure games for the Mac? I did not know this. Can you tell 
me where you found them? I'm huge into those games.

Re: accessible apps from the mac app store

[Cheree Heppe]

Cheree Heppe here:

Because I have purchased useable products from Wallgreen's, I downloaded their 
free app.  I found it in the Lifestyles section of the app store.

It seems very accessible.

I also have successfully used the Amazon mobile app.  I have others, and at 
first, because of my conditioning about how all things other than blindness 
specific gadgetry are s inaccessible, I didn't experiment.

That has gone by the board and now, I try the apps.  Most of the time, they are 
okay or even great.  Some of the time, an app isn't accessible and I go into 
its app store info tab and write a review and rate it as low as I can for not 
being accessible.  That's where the app developers will feel the urge to work 
accessibility in, when we are all trying and rating these apps.  There are a 
lot of us and we have friends and relatives also.

I suggest scrolling through the apps sections and trying what seems really 
interesting to you  If yo're wrong, just delete it.


Regards,
Cheree Heppe

Re: accessible apps from the mac app store

[Scott Howell]

Well News Rack is pretty accessible for RSS, but don't like it for the iOS 
platform. Itunes is more than sufficient for podcasts, but since I use Downcast 
on the iOS platform, I don't need anything for the Mac and actually would not 
want to listen to podcasts on my Mac.
Pages, Keynote, and NUmbers, are reasonably accessible, but Apple will surely 
have an update out before long that will improve things further.
I don't really play games and those I do, I prefer to play on my iOS devices. I 
think someone did or is working on a site to showcase accessible software for 
the Mac.
I'm sure you will get lots of folks sharing their favorites as well.
