Argh.
So, I downloaded the .zip file from colloquy.info, but there's no
readme, or any other kind of installation instruction. I'm also not
finding any installation instruction on their page.
Looking at the file structure of the exploded .zip, I see the top level
directory is colloquy.app,
Chris,
thank you very much, my concern was the scrolling issue but also
announcing what it speak as things go line by line down the screen.

I don't use android devices, but my understanding is that when you plug them
into a USB port, they look like hard drives. If that's the case, your Mac will
see it like a drive, and it will be very easy for you to copy data to and from
the unit.
Also, don't forget that underneath it's glittery
Hello Deedra,
Well, there’s a name from the past. Welcome to the world of the Mac.
You should feel quite at home with a Mac. Devices will mounted as on a Linux

familiar to you. Although, VoiceOver is not as good as speakup
As far as getting acquainted with the workings of VoiceOver on the Mac, three
things will be of invaluable help.
1) Keyboard help (Command Option + K)
entering keyboard help will let you press any key combo and hear what its
function is - a great memory aid for learning the VO keystrokes. Exit
First, a quick correction to Phil's message: the keys to press are control and
option, not command and option. On a MacBook, these are the middle two of the
group of four keys on the left side of the spacebar.
Second, someone mentioned www.applevis.com as a resource. It is definitely a

Thanks. I actually went and read the voiceover manual that was on the

initial help so i could look at my friend's mac and make the decision

Once you interact with the text area you write in, it works okay. Sometimes
reviewing by word or character can cause focus to wander off, and I find things
a bit verbose for my liking, but it works well enough. Of course, I should say

Hi, Deedra:
I'm not so sure it's an actual plus, just a reasonable work around when
you need one. But, I've not tried actually working with irssi in the
terminal in real time yet. I just came up with the approach and brewed
it up this past Monday following a disasterous week trying to use the

Just tried it with a Samsung Galaxy S5 and it did not show up on my
desktop. A little googling around and it seems like you have to install
something called Android File Transfer but I haven't tried this myself yet.

Years ago I remember hearing that Colloquy was accessible but I think it
relied on Growl to speak incoming messages. It's an OSX (not terminal)
app and free so might be worth giving it a try.

Deedra,
My opinion is that VO access to the terminal is quite good. The terminal
session is contained in a buffer. You can scroll line by line using VO +
up/down.
The other thing I wanted to mention is that there is a dropbox client for the
mac. So if you can access dropbox from your
