8 bit sequencer for mac
Hi list http://www.ymck.net/english/download/index.html Check out the demo sound. This plugin works with garage band, digital performer and logic audio. I know that the two last arent accessible and garage band is partially so, but i think this is what has been ported to the iphone as a standalone app called 8bit one micro composer. ANyone know if this is accessible on the iphone? best Yuma --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "MacVisionaries" group.

Re: creating libraries and switching between libraries in itues?
how do you sink different libraries and only those libraries to your iphone or ipod? also how do I create new libraries? - Original Message - From: Nicolai Svendsen To: macvisionaries@googlegroups.com Sent: Saturday, October 03, 2009 2:42 PM Subject: Re: creating libraries and switching between libraries in itues? Hi, Find your file menu in iTunes, and you can either make smart playlists, which are playlist that will update automatically depending on certain criteria such as year, artist, and album or simply make a playlist that keeps track of different things, though you will have to add files to it manually. As for switching libraries, you simply go to the sources table and arrow down until you have found the desired library.

Re: DJ 3 accessible
Hi hank, What i'm saying is that the new mighty mouse from apple will have multitrack like functions. I don't know if its actually a mousepad like contraption, but there was an article last week over the new mouses which will either come with new line of mac desktops or standalone, so no one is spared with the multitrack gestures after that release. when i can't get it out of memory at this point. Either case, the scratching is possible without the multitrackpad in dj3. And if you read my forward of my convo with algoriddim, developer of dj3, they will be working on fixing that hope that clarifies best Yuma --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "MacVisionaries" group.

Hi, Well, I went ahead and did it. I booted from the DVD, launched VoiceOver, chose my main language and went into the utilities menu.

Re: Read iris 12 pro again.
Hello Annie, I assume you've installed Readiris since the installer is completely accessible. Initialising and registering Readiris 12 • Open Readiris application; • Unvoiced dialogue box appears asking you to enter your serial number. Just type your serial number and press Return. There is no typing echo. • Unvoiced dialogue box appears asking you to register your software licence. If Talking Alerts is on, it will read this box. Press Space to register later or Return to register immediately. Return will launch Safari, where pressing the Tab key will put you in the correct edit box in the registration form, much of which is already filled in for you. • Unvoiced dialogue box in Readiris, "Please select your preferred output format and target application". The default values are RTF and TextEdit respectively. Just press Return. You can change these values later using the Text Format dialogue in the Settings menu. Readiris is now active, but you may have to toggle VoiceOver off and on again. Known bugs in Readiris 12: 1 Initialisation sequence not voiced and not VO accessible. 2 The settings Page Deskewing and Detect Page Orientation do not stick and must be activated at each execution. 3 The Recognise and Save function is only available via a button and not a menu command or shortcut. 4 The buttons on the righthand side of the window are not labelled for VoiceOver. All these have been reported to the Iris team but duplicate reports will add to the pressure to get them fixed quickly.

Re: Latest article on using the Mac from the Braille Monitor
This is a great article, very well written and balanced. Well worth the read. I did find one surprise though. When Steven was talking about the announcement of mis-spelled words, he mentions that when you are told that a word is misspelled, there is a way to pull up a list of possible suggested correct spellings. I'm talking here about just the misspelled prompt when reviewing a doc, email, etc, not the actual use of spell-checker. How does one access this list of possible corrections?

You can also press option escape to bring up a word-completion. This is a really awesome feature if you don't know how to complete the word.

Re: Latest article on using the Mac from the Braille Monitor
Hi: To use the quick spellcheck: • in a document/email/text field, press cmd-; to highlight/navigate to the next miss spelled word, • press VO-shift-m to bring up the context menu, • if there are suggestions for the miss spelled word, you can use the VO-arrow keys to select a suggestion, • press VO-spacebar to choose the suggestion.

Hi, Yep. This is definitely a neat way of seeing the suggestions. Thanks. Makes it a lot easier. Isn't word completion kind of the same as a spellcheck?

Re: have any of you used quick books with Voiceover?
Hi Ben, quickbooks 2009 is almost accessible. I say almost, because although you can view reports successfully, and view when transactions were made, you cannot write checks on your own. Voiceover does not recognize the different fields in which you are supposed to type material. I was going to do a podcast on quickbooks, but decided against it since it lacks this functionality for voiceover users. You can, however, choose between which clients you are viewing, and which expenditures you are looking at. The results are given to you in an accessible table. I hope this helps: Not sure what you want to do with the program. John On Oct 4, 2009, at 8:00 PM, Ben King wrote: > > Dear fellow Mac Scholars, > > I hope everyone is doing well.

Re: canceling mobile me with vo?
Go to MobileMe in System Preferences. Click "Account" tab. Click "Account Settings" button -- you may need to enter your password after this -- then "Account Details" and then "Account Options." There, at the bottom of that page, you'll be able to cancel your account. I just went through these steps -- except for actually canceling, which I don't want to do -- so I can't say for certain that the final step would work, but there were no difficulties up to that point.

Re: canceling mobile me with vo?
Hi Hank, Check my instructions for canceling MobileMe in the list archives post on "Instructions on how to Cancel Mobile Me": http://www.mail-archive.com/macvisionaries%40googlegroups.com/msg02244.html They were written for Safari 3, but I think they'll still work.

Re: have any of you used quick books with Voiceover?
I think its more problematic than that. The labeling feature is meant to correct fields that are unlabeled, and buttons that just say button. This problem is worse, in that when using the VO keys to move around the window, voiceover does not even recognize any of the fields. So, when trying to write a check, you will not hear it say edit text even once.

RE: Please advise about accessible statistics software
Interesting, didn't know it was accessible. Spss I mean. But then again, it's now not known as spss. They've changed the name to something like Pasw. -Original Message- From: macvisionaries@googlegroups.com [mailto:macvisionar...@googlegroups.com] On Behalf Of Chris Hofstader Sent: Friday, 2 October 2009 1:34 a.m. To: macvisionaries@googlegroups.com Subject: Re: Please advise about accessible statistics software To my knowledge, the only statistics program that is accessible at all is SPSS with a set of scripts written by a fellow I think is named Peter Orem and JAWS.

RE: iPhone, my first impression
Hi Christina, I've both witched to an iphone and then back to a nokia. And mainly because of the ease of use that a nokia gives you. My nokia n86 will do everything the iphone does, but uses keys rather than touch panel. Don't get me wrong, the IPhone is a great device and it should be looked at as an accessible device. But the nokia was just easier to use while on the go. The best thing to do is to try the iphone in store and also to look at a number of the nokias that are available on the market and see which one takes your fancy if at all. Your own thoughts and opinions are the most reliable. The iphone is great but it may not be wat you want in the long run.

I've never had an accessible phone. The only thing I've ever been able to do with a cell is place or answer a call. I'd like to be able to do more like use contacts, calendar, and caller id. Since, you've switched from Nokia to iphone would you go back? Do you feel you can do everything and more with the iphone or are there some aspects and features of the Nokias that you miss that I should consider? Are Nokias and the third party text to speech software compatible with the mac? I'm also wondering if I should wait until next summer to purchase an iphone. I wonder what features and such apple is working on for the phone next year.
