RE: More on the new Ipod Touch
RayAmie, I won't say much on this as I've never used a Mac, an Iphone or an ITouch. On the last one, could someone please spare me ferreting around sites to find out what an ITouch actually is and what it does? A sort of organiser, maybe? I get the impression for these things to be available the hosteing hardware must be running some version of OS X embedded within it. So, if I'm right, then other equipment using screen interaction but not running OS X won't be any more usable than now. I know Amie and others feel stronly about our lack of access to audio equipment which is screen driven of course, but I'm not sure if this is going to be the way that gets solved. We're going to see much heated argument I don't doubt along the lines of touch/gesture base based approaches vs. traditional keyboard driven ones which dominate the Windows world. Ray.

ipod touch
Gary, the blind will write email the same as they do on the iphone. You put your finger on the screen and slide it to find the letters or just place your finger where you think a letter is on the touch screen. After a while you get pretty good. The iphone says for example I if I is the letter you want you double tap it or keep your finger on the letter I and tap the screen with another finger. Sounds difficult and at first it is but I have gotten pretty good at hitting the letters I need to hit. I love my iphone and wouldn't trade it for anything else.

RE: More on the new Ipod Touch
What I would really like to know, and I can't find this anywhere, is how the recording facilities are on this little gem. It comes with a mic, and there is a lot of discussion about the video, but nothing specific about the recording quality of the audio. Can you record in stereo with it, and in what formats? I really want to get one of these things because the idea of using a touch screen with gestures has really awakened my curiosity. Besides, I'm itching like a bad case of poison ivy to get another expensive gadget to add to my repertoire (grin) and am up for a big new challenge, but if the audio recording facilities stink or are only in mono, I'm not really sure I want one after all. Also, when my sister set her iPod up using my PC, that stupid QuickTime that iTunes uses did totally nightmarish things to my computer, like not letting me download MP3s, etc. and I could never get that worked out to my satisfaction despite doing lots of research on the problem and trying many things. I'm hoping you won't have to hook it to the PC at all, as I don't want QuickTime on here. -Original Message- From: pc-audio-boun...@pc-audio.org [mailto:pc-audio-boun...@pc-audio.org] On Behalf Of Ray Sent: Friday, September 11, 2009 4:36 PM To: PC Audio Discussion List Subject: Re: More on the new Ipod Touch Steve, oh yes, entering text via a screen image of text is possible ok, and it amazes me how adaptable some blind people will get to be in the flow of things.

Re: More on the new Ipod Touch
it sounds like the built-in mic would be mono, but the external mic jack may be stereo. I presume that the 8 GB ITouch comes with the voiceover too? I gather the 32 and 64 GB models are the one that come with the camera. - Original Message - From: Lynn Schneider canepri...@gmail.com To: 'PC Audio Discussion List' pc-audio@pc-audio.org Sent: Friday, September 11, 2009 9:31 PM Subject: RE: More on the new Ipod Touch What I would really like to know, and I can't find this anywhere, is how the recording facilities are on this little gem. It comes with a mic, and there is a lot of discussion about the video, but nothing specific about the recording quality of the audio. Can you record in stereo with it, and in what formats? I really want to get one of these things because the idea of using a touch screen with gestures has really awakened my curiosity. Besides, I'm itching like a bad case of poison ivy to get another expensive gadget to add to my repertoire (grin) and am up for a big new challenge, but if the audio recording facilities stink or are only in mono, I'm not really sure I want one after all. Also, when my sister set her iPod up using my PC, that stupid QuickTime that iTunes uses did totally nightmarish things to my computer, like not letting me download MP3s, etc. and I could never get that worked out to my satisfaction despite doing lots of research on the problem and trying many things. I'm hoping you won't have to hook it to the PC at all, as I don't want QuickTime on here. -Original Message- From: pc-audio-boun...@pc-audio.org [mailto:pc-audio-boun...@pc-audio.org] On Behalf Of Ray Sent: Friday, September 11, 2009 4:36 PM To: PC Audio Discussion List Subject: Re: More on the new Ipod Touch Steve, oh yes, entering text via a screen image of text is possible ok, and it amazes me how adaptable some blind people will get to be in the flow of things. I think there's more than a bit of Apple ideology driving some people here, and I'm not saying that's all a bad thing, but I've heard it said that even some sighted ITouch and IPhone users wish there was a real keyboard you could pull out and use for text entry. I've yet to see a mature and even handed debate on touch and gesture interfaces but I'm all too aware that you have to try it to have a worthwhile apraisal of how usable it is. I keep an eye on things Mac though as on the audio sie, which is much of what I these days, the Mac is important. so, hoping for some informative posts or links to articles on editing on the Mac.

I think it would be kind of difficult! Talk to blind iPhone users. They seem to love it. Of course you're right, it's not nearly as efficient as with a keyboard or even a texting-style keypad, but it *can* be done.

Here's a summary of the accessibility features and functions found on the new Ipod Touch as taken from the Apple Web Site. Vision iPod touch includes a screen reader and other innovative accessibility features that make it easier to use for those with impaired vision. VoiceOver The same VoiceOver screen reader made popular on the Mac and the iPhone is now a standard feature on iPod touch (3rd generation). It’s the world’s first gesture-based screen reader, enabling you to enjoy the fun and simplicity of iPod touch even if you can’t see the screen. What makes VoiceOver on iPod touch remarkable is that you control it using simple gestures that let you physically interact with items on the screen. It’s easy to learn and fun to use. Instead of memorizing hundreds of keyboard commands or endlessly pressing tiny arrow keys to find what you’re looking for, with VoiceOver you simply touch the screen to hear a description of the item under your finger, then gesture with a double-tap, drag, or flick. VoiceOver delivers an experience unlike any screen reader you’ve used before. Traditional screen readers describe individual elements on the screen, but struggle to communicate where each element is located or provide information about adjoining objects. This contextual information is very important but typically filtered out by other screen readers. For example, “off-screen” models used by traditional screen readers to represent applications and web pages intentionally strip away contextual information and describe web pages as a list or menu of items. But with VoiceOver on iPod touch, you’ll experience something entirely new. Because VoiceOver works with the touchscreen, you interact directly with objects on the screen and can understand their location and context. So, when you touch the upper-left corner of the screen, you’ll hear what’s in the upper-left corner of a web page, and as you drag your finger around the screen, you’ll learn what’s nearby, providing an amazing new sense of context and relationships between the items you hear. For many, VoiceOver on iPod touch will provide, perhaps for the first time, a true sense of not only how things appear on the screen, but also descriptions of what they are. You’ll hear descriptions of every item, including status information such as battery level, Wi-Fi signal levels, and time of day. iPod touch even lets you know when the display changes to landscape or portrait, and when the screen is locked or unlocked. The speaking rate is adjustable so you can set it to a speed that best suits your listening ability. VoiceOver uses distinctive sound effects to alert you when an application opens, when the screen is updated, when a message dialog appears, and more. And when VoiceOver is talking, the volume of background sounds and music is automatically lowered, “ducking” under the voice, so you can clearly hear what VoiceOver is telling you. It Speaks Your Language VoiceOver includes built-in voices that speak over 21 languages including Bahasa Indonesian, Chinese (Cantonese), Chinese (China), Chinese (Taiwan), Dutch, English (U.S.), English (UK), English (Australian), Finnish, French (Canada), French (France), German, Greek, Italian, Japanese, Korean, Norwegian, Polish, Portuguese (Brazil), Portuguese (Portugal), Romanian, Russian, Slovak, Spanish (Mexico), Spanish (Spain), Swedish, Thai, and Turkish. Getting Started VoiceOver is built into iPod touch (3rd generation). There’s nothing extra to purchase or install. All you need is iPod touch, iTunes 9 or later, and a Mac or PC. You can activate your iPod touch and enable VoiceOver without sighted assistance using iTunes with a compatible screen reader like VoiceOver (included in Mac OS X) or GW-Micro Window- Eyes for Windows XP and Windows Vista (sold separately).

Fwd: iTunes 9 and Window-Eyes
From:Aaron Smith aa...@gwmicro.com To: GW Micro List gw-i...@gwmicro.com Greetings, You've no doubt by now heard that iTunes 9 works well with Window-Eyes except for the iTunes store. If the store is not important to you, feel free to upgrade without worry. If the store is important to you, you'll want to roll back to the previous, iTunes 8.21 (available from http://support.apple.com/kb/DL928). iTunes made some major structural changes to the store that broke Window-Eyes support for it. This will be resolved, but will take a new version of Window-Eyes and a new version of iTunes. We are actively working on an update to Window-Eyes for this and a few other significant issues. Expect some news within the next few weeks. The iTunes update, however, will take a bit longer. We've been told to expect something within the next month or so. This is only a show stopper for those who want to purchase the new iTouch device for use with the iTunes store. That combination requires iTunes 9. One work around might be to purchase songs for iTunes through an alternative source, such as (I've been told) Rhapsody. Rest assured that we are on top of the situation as much as we can be from our end, and have a very good dialog open with Apple about the problem. UPDATE: We just received the following information from an Apple representative: If users have gone to 9.0 and need to pull back to 8.2.1, they will need to go into the Previous Libraries Folder in Music iTunes and retrieve their 8.2.1 library as well because the library was upgraded when they went to 9.0. But the library is saved off before it is upgraded. They do not have to rebuild their library. Thanks, Aaron -- To insure that you receive proper support, please include all past correspondence (where applicable), and any relevant information pertinent to your situation when submitting a problem report to the GW Micro Technical Support Team.
