Re: turning off vo hints on the mac
Hello Don, Go to VoiceOver Utility (VO-F8). In the Verbosity category, select Hints, then uncheck the Speak instructions for using the item in the VoiceOver cursor checkbox. Should you want the hint for an item, press VO-Shift-n. Cheers, Anne > On 27 May 2016, at 07:41, don bishop <w6...@donbishop.org> wrote: > > Hi all, > How do you turn off the vo hints on the mac.

turning off vo hints on the mac
Hi all, How do you turn off the vo hints on the mac. I set the verbosity options to low whereever I found them, but this doesn't shut off the long command descriptions. I can't find where to turn these off. Any help will be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Don -- The following information is important for all members of the Mac Visionaries list.

There's a checkbox for speaking the instructions for the item in the voiceover cursor; there's a pop-up for handling items with help tags, and there's a table to set the delay before a hint is spoken. I'm not sure you need both the checkbox and the popup depending on what you need this for. The checkbox can be very annoying but is great when the prompt is needed. The popup is helpful but you can also get that information by doing vo-shift-h on items with help tags and then you can go ahead and label items by using vo-slash. In fact, I just labelled a checkbox in vlc.

redeeming gift cards with camera: possible vo hints
Hi all, I just read an article about the new feature in iTunes that lets you redeem gift cards with the camera. Apparently, it includes vo hints to help blind users correctly position the card, and it sounds to me like it runs in real time, so no need to hold it there and try to get a picture. I'm really tempted to go get a gift card just to check out this feature, but my mini doesn't have a camera. So, if you try this out, leave vo on and see if you get walked through the process. Of course, let us know how it goes; i'm really, really curious now!

Re: redeeming gift cards with camera: possible vo hints
So where exactly is the camera located on the MBP? I've never really thought about needing it, but if this idea really works, I love it! I'm presuming it's still a scratchcard right? I think you have to scratch the top of the gift card and then you get the number underneath, although having never done it myself because I can't read it, I'm not totally sure about that.

Re: redeeming gift cards with camera: possible vo hints
I believe the camera is centered above the screen when the pro is open. So, when it is closed, the camera would be in the middle, right at the front edge. I can confirm this if someone buys and sends me an Macbook. At the least, I am always happy to accept donations to the Awamba Fund which is, of course, the Alex Wants a MacBook Air fund. smile On Nov 30, 2012, at 3:17 PM, Kirsten Edmondson kirsten.edmond...@btinternet.com wrote: So where exactly is the camera located on the MBP?

Re: VO Hints
Yes. Open voiceover utility with vo-f8. In categories go to verbbosity. Hints is the fifth and last tab; select it with vo-space. There's a checkbox for speaking the instructions for the item in the voiceover cursor; there's a pop-up for handling items with help tags, and there's a table to set the delay before a hint is spoken. I'm not sure you need both the checkbox and the popup depending on what you need this for. The checkbox can be very annoying but is great when the prompt is needed. The popup is helpful but you can also get that information by doing vo-shift-h on items with help tags and then you can go ahead and label items by using vo-slash. In fact, I just labelled a checkbox in vlc. So you can play with things and see what helps you most. -- Cheryl May the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart be acceptable to You, Lord, my rock and my Redeemer.
