Correction, Re: Slide gesture on a braille display?

2013-02-22 Thread Teresa Cochran
Hi Erik,

Sorry, I misstated a point earlier. If you want to use the "slide to unlock" 
control on the phone, you can use a router button on the display to activate 
it. Just go to the text "slide to unlock" and press the router button on the 
display. It should unlock.

HtH,

Re: Slide gesture on a braille display?

2013-02-22 Thread Teresa Cochran
Hi, Erik,

The only thing I could think of is to do the pass-through gesture and then 
slide. Of course, this doesn't involve the braille display at all. There's no 
braille command for the pass-through VO gesture.

Re: Question.

2013-02-23 Thread Teresa Cochran
I really think folks are jumping the gun. For one thing, these decisions take 
*years* to implement. Most likely, folks will find a way to challenge any 
decisions that are made against accessibility. And once you have the cat out of 
the bag, it's way hard to stuff the poor thing back in. I don't think IOS will 
become inaccessible any time in the near future, if at all.

My few credits in whichever currency you choose, :)

Re: Tim Cook's apology!

2012-09-28 Thread Teresa Cochran
It's very easy to bash something you don't have experience with, because you 
don't know it. I think it really is a human-nature sort of thing. I've had to 
stop myself going on about something because I'd heard a rumor about a bad 
aspect of that particular thing. Of course, in private conversation, I go on 
about such things just to vent. But trolling is something I've never understood 
doing.

I think Apple have done a great job. There are pluses and minuses, but I've 
pretty much chosen all of them, and I'm comfortable in that choice.

Re: Free 6-Month SiriusXM Internet Radio Trial

2012-10-04 Thread Teresa Cochran
The company is doing clever marketing. On the home page, find the "get internet 
radio" link. On that page, go to the "start free trial" link. This will 
generate a code. In my case, it was a 30-day trial. I think they may not being 
expecting these codes to be handed out, or they're just turning them over 
quickly.

Re: Sorry for last message Braille displays again

2012-10-04 Thread Teresa Cochran
Hi, Donna,

Once you have the display paired with your device, you shouldn't need to do it 
again. If it's paired, just turn it on and then turn the device on, and the 
Braille will show the screen within seconds.

Re: Braille Displays For iPhone

2012-10-13 Thread Teresa Cochran
I read a lot of books on my IPod, so I'm pretty sure I wouldn't want to use 
something like a 12-cell display. I have a preference for Braille books over 
audio. I can definitely understand a use for a small display with Idevices, 
(portability, reading with light email and web browsing, and writing practice 
with Braille beginners) but personally, this wouldn't be my choice. I haven't 
actually checked out the small ones, so I can't evaluate them yet. If I get a 
chance, I may do so one of these days.

I use my Focus 40 Blue with both my Mac and IPod, and I switch back and forth 
constantly by either locking the screen on my Ipod, or unloading VO on my Mac. 
I am very satisfied with this arrangement for my own purposes.

Re: Question on Powering On IPhone

Hi, Lisa,

I usually hold mine down for about five seconds. I wait two minutes and expect 
the shrill beep, followed by VO reading the home screen. This is on an Ipod 
fourth gen. I don't restart it often; only when something very strange is 
happening. Mostly I clear stuff out of the App switcher and see if that helps.

Re: Focus 40 Braille Display

2012-10-24 Thread Teresa Cochran
If you're using IOS6, you will have to use the panning keys to go to the next 
line. When you're in the text of a page, you can use dots 1-3-5 chord to go to 
the next page. When you're on the page control, you can use dot-6 chord to go 
to the next page.

Here's a list of Braille commands. It's not Focus 40-specific, but all these 
commands work on that display.

I think a somewhat confusing discussion was started concerning two apps for 
sounding alarms.

One is called Westminster Chimes, and has an electronic simulation sound for 
alarm chimes. The other is Big Ben, and has a high-fidelity sampled recording 
of Big Ben.

Westminster Chimes URL:

Re: Guided Access

2012-10-26 Thread Teresa Cochran
Guided access is for those with autism, certain kinds of motor functions and 
cognitive disabilities. It prevents apps and options from being activated 
accidentally while the gestures are being used.

Google's Tips on Email IMap Settings

2012-11-01 Thread Teresa Cochran
Hi, all,

I thought this might be interesting, since it seems to be a popular question. I 
came across it while I was tweaking my gmail settings on my Mac. It has info on 
various windows clients, Iphone, and the Mac. There are also links to other 
hints on how ImAP works.

Re: I Can log in on the Computer but not on my IPhone

2012-11-02 Thread Teresa Cochran
Hi, all,

I thought I'd tack my question onto the end of this thread, since it's related. 
When I try to log in with the IPhone app, I always get a password error or 
server error. I'm using the password I always use to log in on the computer, 
which works fine. Anyone know what I may be doing wrong? I've tried pressing 
the "save" button in the app and pressing enter, but neither works.

Thanks,
Teresa

Re: Read2Go Braille Question

2012-11-03 Thread Teresa Cochran
Hi Marc,

This is only for speech output. I don't use the app, but based on Braille 
commands for other book apps, I'd suggest you try w-chord for reading from the 
beginning and r-chord for reading from cursor position. Try p-chord for 
starting and stopping speech as well.

Re: Brailling Passwords

Enter the password quickly, using a number sign in front of digits and a letter 
sign in front of letters. For symbols, place a dot 4 in front of each.

You can also switch contractions off and use computer Braille.

Re: Reading Ibooks.

2012-11-04 Thread Teresa Cochran
Hi, Kawal,

When you open IBooks for the first time, you're presented with the library. 
This is where your books are organized. If you have books already, simply pick 
a book and double-tap to open it. With speech, you can begin reading the book 
by using the two-finger-downward-flick gesture. To pause and resume speech, you 
use the two-finger-single-tap. With speech VO will read continuously and turn 
pages as it goes. If you close IBooks in the middle of a book, it will retain 
your place when you open it again. You can always find the library at the top 
of the screen to choose another book.

With Braille, you have to pair a Bluetooth display. Unfortunately you do have 
to turn pages manually with Braille by using dots 1-3-5-space for next page and 
dots 2-4-6-space for previous page.

At the top of the screen are controls for Ibooks. When you go into the library, 
you can choose "store" to shop for books.

HtH,
Teresa

Also, you can go into the VO settings and practice the gesture without changing 
any settings. This may enable you to practice with a little more confidence and 
be less tentative, if that's part of the problem.

Re: Muting VO Sound Effects in IOS 6 on IPOD Touch 4?

2012-11-14 Thread Teresa Cochran
Yes, when I use the three-finger double-tap, there's no speech, but the sound 
effects remain. Here's a situation in which the VO sound effects are 
distracting: I have my IPod on a docking speaker. I go into Ibooks with the 
Braille display. Every time I switch pages, I hear a very loud sound-effect for 
page-switching, and it sounds almost louder than the music. I really do like he 
sound-effects without speech. I just wish that there was a way under certain 
circumstances to mute them. Obviously, if I'm using Braille while playing music 
with no speech, turning off VO with triple-click-home is not an option. Perhaps 
this is a suggestion possibility for Apple for future releases.

Thanks,
Teresa

Barnes and Noble E-reads and nook: How Accessible are They?

2012-11-16 Thread Teresa Cochran
Hi all,

I'm posting this to two lists, because I think it's relevant to both of them. I 
just got word that Fictionwise is closing down and moving to B&N, and that 
there is a way to convert the bookshelf in FW to Nook. I know it's epub format, 
but is it drm-protected in such a way that it can't be read on either Stanza or 
Ibooks?

Thanks,
Teresa

Re: Reading iBooks with a Braille Display on iPhone 5

2012-11-19 Thread Teresa Cochran
Make sure you are within the text of your book, then use dot 1-3-5-chord to go 
to the next page. Try reversing panning one item once your past the text, and 
this will take you back to the top of the page. The new IBooks has the page 
adjustment control in a slightly different spot. It's no longer the next 
control you come to after the text. If you do get to it, though, use dots 3- 
and dot-6-chord to go to previous and next item.

HtH,
Teresa

Re: new braille display and bluetooth keyboard commands in iOS 6

2012-11-21 Thread Teresa Cochran
Hi, Cheryl,

For the most part, any of the Braille commands that use letter combinations 
work across the board with Braille-writing keys on displays. The differences 
come in with the dedicated panning, selection, and other buttons, but those 
commands are less common.

HtH,
Teresa

Re: Braille Command For Opening iPod Search and Opening App Switcher?

2013-06-15 Thread Teresa Cochran
Thanks, Raul. This definitely makes sense to me.

In the last few minutes, I have practiced holding down the space bar while 
pressing H two times quickly. This seems to register as a command for the app 
switcher more often than not.

I'd forgotten about the search command from the home screen. This does explain 
why I end up in search sometimes.

Selecting Text Using a Braille Display?

2013-06-24 Thread Teresa Cochran
Hi, folks,

Is there a way to select text with a Braille display without double-tapping the 
screen? If I use the rotor to chose "edit" and then "select all", then use the 
router keys on the Braille display, nothing happens. I used to use the 
selection key on my Focus 40, but its function has changed to starting and 
stopping music.

Any ideas?

Thanks,
Teresa

Re: Selecting Text Using a Braille Display?

2013-06-26 Thread Teresa Cochran
Hi, all,

Tom, you can select text without pinching, but it does have to be in an edit 
field. You go to the edit option in the rotor while in the edit field, then 
double-tap the screen while on "select".

Annie and Mario, I think we'll have to make suggestions to Apple regarding 
Braille. Some of the commands have been changing and being discontinued. The 
dots 2-3-6 space command is now for toggling between !- and "comdot Braille, 
for example.

Braille is not used by much of the blind population. This is simply a fact. In 
developing Braille as an option for an off-the-shelf product, these things are 
going to happen. Suggesttions to Apple will help. I'm pretty confident of this. 
However, different users have different priorities, and I'm sure that one or 
the other may have won out over another feature that has been removed or 
changed.

Re: Accessibility/readability of google books

2013-07-23 Thread Teresa Cochran
The Google books on the web that are not specifically ebooks are scanned 
images. As far as I'm aware, the only thing you could try is scanning each page 
and performing OCR on it. This seems extremely labor-intensive. Have you looked 
for other sources? Unfortunately, it might almost be easier to get a hardcopy 
outhe book if there are no ebook versions available anywhere.

As far as I understand it, Kirsten's reference was to the books that are 
searchable in google, which are not ebooks. These are scanned images from 
books, and aren't readable with an accessible app or screen-reader.

Re: gift card says redeemable in apple store and how to redeem in app store

2012-11-22 Thread Teresa Cochran
Hi Rob and List,

I believe what you are referring to is an App Store card. These can be 
purchased at many discount stores, etc. If you have an Apple Online Store gift 
card, this is not the same kind of card. The Apple Online store features 
computers, phones, IPads, accessories and whatnot. It is the online counterpart 
to the physical Apple Stores. The App store is the site you go to for apps and 
music and books. In other words, there's a confusing distinction between *App 
Store* and *Apple Online Store*.

HtH,
Teresa

You double-tap and hold on the second tap. You'll hear a funny rising tone if 
it's successful. This gesture tells VO to ignore your gestures so you can do 
the standard ones that sighted people use.

Re: How to find computer to play on lost city?

2012-11-27 Thread Teresa Cochran
Hi, all,

I think that when trying to find an app in ITunes,a link would be very helpful. 
I'm not sure how accessible it is in windows, but on the Mac, there's an 
actions button, and one of the choices in that menu is "copy link". You can 
then paste the link in an email.

that said, here's a link to the Lost Cities Game:

Re: Nook App for IOS Devices Now Accessible

2012-11-28 Thread Teresa Cochran
Nook books are epub, but drm-protected, so you can only read them on Adobe 
Editions on the Mac or on the IPhone with the Nook app. This is indeed 
fantastic news. I had tried the Nook app a couple of weeks ago, and was very 
disappointed at the time that it wasn't accessible. Now I'm definitely going to 
give it another shot.

Re: Nook versus iBooks

2012-11-28 Thread Teresa Cochran
Thanks for clarifying this, Grant. I have noticed that I've seen more in-app 
purchases for other material and not as many, if any, for books, so this would 
seem to clarify this issue.

Re: Nook versus iBooks

2012-11-28 Thread Teresa Cochran
The accessibility documentation within the Nook app is truly astounding. I 
hardly ever see this level of Voiceover-specific tutorials in "off-the-shelf" 
apps. They really did try, and deserve a lot of kudos. Yes, I do recognize that 
there is still work to be done, but that is usually the case.

B&N does have a Mac and Windows app, and I would anticipate that accessibility 
will be improved for those as well. In the meantime, Nook books can be read 
using Adobe Digital Editions in Windows and Mac Platforms.

Re: putting games in to one folder?

2012-11-29 Thread Teresa Cochran
Move one game on top of another and hold until you hear steady tones followed 
by a higher tone. IOS will most likely create a folder called games. At this 
point you can do the following to make things a bit easier. Take an app 
temporarily out of the dock and move your new games folder there. Now, 
whichever page you're on, the games folder will always be in the dock. Find 
other games and move them to this folder. You should always hear the 
distinctive tones to indicate that you've moved the apps to the folder. Now, 
you can move games out of the dock and move the previous app there again if you 
wish.

HtH,
Teresa

Well, it's similar to the Facebook feed if you have a profile. "Friend

Re: iTunes and an accidentally wiped phone, helpp, help!!!

The phone always gives those scary messages when it's about to reset, but *if 
you're sure you have an ICloud backup,* you can reset it and then restore from 
the ICloud backup in the next screen.

My Thoughts on ITunes 11

2012-12-06 Thread Teresa Cochran
Hi, all,

I'm not sure what to make of the new iTunes. I haven't been following the 
discussions, because I wanted to explore it on my own for awhile.

My thought is that if there are no keyboard shortcuts for the new interface, 
then it means a lot of navigational keystrokes to find what you want, whether 
it's tabbing or VO-arrow keys, depending on your OS.

When the sidebar is on, ITunes becomes much more familiar. It acts as it always 
has. I think I'm leaning in the direction of using it with the sidebar showing, 
unless someone can point out a quick list of keystrokes

Just my two cents,
Teresa

Re: My Thoughts on ITunes 11

2012-12-06 Thread Teresa Cochran
Sure, you can press command-option-s to bring up the sidebar on the Mac. I'd 
try control-option-s in windows. I went to books in the sidebar, pressed the 
list radio button, and had a books table, too.

I wouldn't mind the new interface so much if it was more navigable with 
shortcut keys. I don't usually like to poke around spatially very much.

Re: showing the side bar in ITunes 11.

2012-12-10 Thread Teresa Cochran
ITunes 11 is definitely very responsive, but in my opinion, the interface is a 
bit cluttered, at least as far as keyboard use is concerned. Using the sidebar 
has alleviated this problem for me, and it's a satisfactory compromise. In 
general, I tend to upgrade to newer versions of apps, figuring that it'll have 
to be done eventually. Itunes 11 is one of the rare ones that has not set quite 
right with me, but I think I can get used to it. Finding everything spatially 
on the screen without the sidebar is something I really don't want to do, but 
once it's enabled, I am pretty happy with it.

 hi folks,
 if you want to get to the sidebar and it stays once you have set it.
 open itunes and it opens in the edit field, press alt plus s, arrow right 
 3 times to you get to view options and arrow down till you get to show the
>>> 
 sidebar
 
 press enter and it will take you back to the edit field press control tab 
 and it will takes you back to where you left it last time.
 when you next time you go in to itunes all you have to do is when it says 
 edit press control tab and you will be back in the sidebar.
 hope this helps
 barrie on that

Re: kendal books with the apple store

2012-12-12 Thread Teresa Cochran
Well, I'm voting with my wallet. Since Apple and Barnes and Noble have made 
efforts to make books accessible, I'm sticking with them. Granted the blind 
population isn't a significant share of the market, but it might be enough to 
be noticeable. More options are better, but I'd much rather buy from a 
competitor than force the issue on folk who choose not to create accessible 
books, or indeed do anything else that might be good for consumers.

HtH,
Teresa

Re: Commands for reading iBooks?

2012-12-17 Thread Teresa Cochran
Hi, Chasity,

When you open Ibooks, go to the Library by double-tapping the Library button. 
This displays all of your books. Double-tap on a book to open it.

If you want to read continuously with VO, swipe downward with two fingers. To 
pause, single-tap with two fingers. Single-tap again, and the book will resume 
from where you left off.

HtH,
Teresa


On the other hand, there are different fingers.

Re: Enjoy.

That was very amusing. I honestly wouldn't have gone to the site if someone 
hadn't explained a little further. Folks can be carriers of spam an viruses 
without realizing they're infected. Anyhow, thanks for putting that on the list.

Re: iBooks: slowing down automatic reading with braille.

2012-12-31 Thread Teresa Cochran
I tried slowing down speech rate to zero, turning speech off, and using dots 
1-2-3-5-chord to read from cursor. The Braille speed doesn't change. I wonder 
if it would be different if speech were kept on and turned down all the way. 
I'm going to try that.

Re: Reversing panning buttons on focus 14

2012-12-31 Thread Teresa Cochran
Unfortunately, no. I would do the same thing if I could. There is no way to 
modify the Braille commands on the IPhone, at least not for the average user. 
And yes, I'm an average user. :)

Teresa


Slow down; you'll get there faster.
