Sound Studio & Skype
Anyone know if I can use Sound Studio to record Skype calls? I know I can with Audio Hijack pro, but I'd rather not buy another piece of software just for this. - JD - John Denning Facebook: www.facebook.com/jdiver AIM: denni...@me.com A+ MCSA MCSE ITILv3 And glad to be a Mac snob again!

Presentation Program Accessibility
Hi, I've been asked to co-present a program about Macintosh and VoiceOver at the ACB Mid-Atlantic conference on 10/30 in Baltimore. I have not yet tried the presentation programs in either iWork or OpenOffice, does anyone with experience using such have a little time to help me get started or to send a link to some tips on making presentations using VO? JAWS does a great job with PowerPoint but I think it would damage credibility if I had to use Windows to do a Mac presentation.

MacBook Pro suggestions wanted
Hi all, I am going to be starting with a new job, and will be advising and demonstrating access using VoiceOver and the Macintosh. We're thinking of purchasing a MacBook Pro. I am wondering what your thoughts are on which model might suit the needs for us. I envision needing a word processor, presentation program and not sure about audio production. I'm guessing that Iwork 9, for the word processing and presentation portions. Not sure which would be best for audio work. Any thoughts on which MacBook pro would be best for this type of work? Suggestions on specifications would be appreciated. Thanks. Bob Hill --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "MacVisionaries" group.

Re: burning CD in Itunes?
There are advantages each way depending on what you want to do. Back a year or two ago using the finder to burn was a lot easier, I-Tunes has caught up though some, but still use finder sometimes depends on where the files are that you are wanting to put in a folder to burn I guess.

Re: USB drive not showing up
I think this is a bug in sl. mine does the same thing. I find the easiest way to get to it if it doesn't show up is to open up a new finder window and go to the sidebar and look under devices. you'll see it there and can then access it.

Re: Gmail Filters and the IPhone
Hi, I just spent most of yesterday setting up Gmail filters and although I'm hardly the expert, I thought I'd put my 2 cents in. Definitely check the skip inbox checkbox, I didn't do this and it wasn't until much later in the day that I found the box and had to go back to edit all my filters. THe other thing to check is found on the second step, after the button to create the filter. You'll find a checkbox to allow existing conversations, or messages to which your filter can be applied. Check this and then go back to the button to create, doing this will move existing messages. Also, if that checkbox shows that 0 conversations will be filtered and you know you have messages that should match, choose go back and modify your search criteria as something's wrong. In general, I used Holly's replyto: trick, however, i found a few lists for which this didn't work. In those cases, I put the list address in the to: field and things seem to work fine. Of course if someone CC's the list I'll be in trouble, but at least it works more often than not. Another thing to keep in mind is that a mail header shows lots and lots of info including in some cases, a list ID (listid:). In cases where this header exists, a listid: string can be used in the same way Holly uses replyto:. Hope this helps, the Gmail filters are incredibly cool once they're all configured.

Thanks for your prompt reply. Actually, the problem occurs on computers using in Tiger and Leopard (I don't have Snow Leopard yet). I will try your suggestion to open a new finder window, however.

Re: Presentation Program Accessibility
Thanks. As it's a blindness conference, we do not need anything flashy, just the bullets for people to take home to review later if they care to.

Tips on burning CDs and DVDs in iTunes [was Re: burning CD in Itunes?]
Hi Donna, • Choosing "Burn Playlist to Disc" from a playlist menu or from the burn button in iTunes There are a number of ways to start burning a disc (either CD or DVD) from iTunes. Since you need to create a playlist to specify the items you want to burn to disc, when you select a playlist that you have made in the iTunes sources table, the context menu (VO-Shift-M) will have a "Burn Playlist to Disc" menu option. (This option will not be present for the context menus of the "playlists" for the various iTunes "Music", "Podcasts", "Audiobooks", etc. libraries.) There's also a "Burn Disc" button that shows up once you've selected a playlist, and that you can reach in a couple of ways: typically after reviewing the tracks for that playlist in your songs table you'll want to know how many items are there and how much space they take up in order to decide the format you'd like to to burn to (e.g. whether you want to burn as an mp3 CD or an audio CD, or if you're burning this as data, whether you'd like to store this on a CD (about 700 MB or 70 minutes for an audio CD) or DVD (about 4.7 GB for single-layer; double that for dual-layer)). So one way to navigate to the burn button is to VO-Down arrow from the songs table to find the summary information for the playlist items and then VO-Right arrow to the "Burn Disc" button which you can press (VO-Space). Another quick way to get to the "Burn Disc" button from anywhere in iTunes is to start from the search text field (Command-Option-F shortcut to go there if you're somewhere else) and VO-Down arrow to get to the "Burn Disc" button. • Summary playlist information on number of items, total playing time, and associated disc space If you want to review the amount of space occupied by your various libraries, this status information can be viewed by selecting a playlist or library in your sources table, then navigating to the corresponding songs table listing (with tab, VO-Right arrow, or VO-J), and navigating to the summary status with VO-Down arrow. You might hear something like "1200 items, 8.6 days, 7.05 GB". Because you might want to hear a more precise time (in days, hours, minutes, and seconds) for items that you want to burn to an audio CD, iTunes lets you change the way that total time is reported by clicking (VO-Shift- Space) on the summary. Then VoiceOver announces "1190 items, 8:15:32:46 total time, 7.05 GB". (Note there is a bug in the way this is said, since with the colon delimiters this should be 8 days,15 hours, 32 minutes, and 46 seconds if you read the numbers character by character, but VoiceOver will announce this as hours, minutes, seconds because normally you wouldn't have "days" of music play time.) The detailed mode is useful when you are burning an audio or mp3 CD, where you might hear "25 songs,1:07:13 total time, 63.9 MB". Clicking (VO- Shift-Space) changes the announcement to "25 songs, 1.1 hours, 63.9 MB", which is a more useful format when you are burning backup data discs on DVDs. • Burn format options When you are burning music to disc in iTunes and press the "Burn Disc" button or select the option to burn to disc from the context menu for a playlist, the dialog window will offer you 3 options: audio CD, mp3 CD, or data disc (CD or DVD). The Audio CD format will allow you to play your music on a regular CD player. If it is stored in your iTunes Library in a compressed format (mp3, aac, Audible, iTunes purchased tracks, etc.) then it will be converted so that each CD holds a maximum of 70 minutes of play time. (This kind of automatic format conversion is not an option if your burn disks from Finder). In all cases, iTunes will warn you beforehand if it estimates that you will need more than one disc. You do not, of course, gain back the quality of the original lossless music before you ripped it to a compressed (lossy) format. If your playlist consists of mp3 tracks, then you can choose to burn these to an MP3 CD that can be played in an MP3 CD player. Here, the size information (less than 700 MB) is more relevant than the total play time in estimating how many discs you may need, although again, iTunes will tell you if you are likely to need more than one disc. Finally, you can burn your playlist tracks as a data disc onto either CD or DVD. This format matches the file format of the tracks stored in your iTunes library, and can be used to backup TV shows, movies, and videopodcasts as well as music tracks and any media format supported by the iTunes library. For example, if you have PDF files of bonus booklets for albums you have purchased, or if you added PDF files to your iTunes library (yes, you can do this with the same "add to library" command that you use for music; a neat idea is to use a "PDF Adder" AppleScript from the AppleScripts for iTunes site, and automatically add in a

Re: burning CD in Itunes?
How I do it is to create a playlist, put in the songs or whatever I want into it, then go to the playlist in the sources, then just to verifythings are in order will check the songs listed, then back out of that interaction and vo right arrow and there is a burn function. A dialog will come up giving you options as to format such as audio, or mp3, or data. Also near the button for burning, there is a place where it gives information about the playlist such as the total time it would take to play the whole list, kind of handy for the time factor of an audio cd. Although if there's to much for one disk it will tell you as a dialog after doing the inital burn set-up. In other words if it's going to take more than the disk you put into your machine, it will tell you that.

I tried another page off of this site, and I could tab around to text entry and pop-up boxes, but I could not change any of the pop-up boxes and was anable to read the descriptions on the text boxes. Is this a Apple feature, a required HTML / js option or just a hack the web-site creator discovered.

Re: Annoying / weird web page.
Site seemed ok for me. I had to take the %20%20edit%20text Off the end of the URL before it would load. Is this still the correct page? I couldn't find a Close button, or is this not the right page? It appears to be some kind of job listing search site. I tried it in both DOM and Group mode and was able to search for stuff and navigate the results table.

Re: skype and voiceover
Thanks everyone. Is there a way to get vo to read the status of my contacts. The thing I've been doing is just making the call and seeing what happens. It would be nice to know the status of people.One strange thing is that I have labeled some buttons in skype twice because every time I go back the buttons are not labeled anymore. It's weird. I did not know I could have VO auto read the help tags on buttons and such. I had been using vo plus shift plus h to get vo to read the help tags. Those were the buttons I was able to label. Otherwise, I would not have known what the buttons were. So, do I use VO utility to set VO to automatically read the help tags?

Re: skype and voiceover
Hi, In fact, that is set automatically when you run VoiceOver for the first time on Snowy as default I believe. You can, however, change it so that it reads them 0.5 seconds after speaking the item you're focused on in the VoiceOver Utility>Verbosity>Hints tab.

Vuscan and OCR software was Vuscan free?
Thanks so much Anne and Ester. I think I have a clearer picture. I just want to confirm that I understand. Vuscan is used more for the actual task of scanning, sort of like the driver/software that comes with the scanner ; while read iris is a better or more robust OCR software? So, the two are used together. I'm really glad you let me know about version 12. I appreciate that. Is Read Iris the only OCR software that works with the mac and is also VO compatible as well as accessible to the blind and visually impaired? We had one of those all in one printers and sold it because we could not get the scanner portion of it to work with the mac. It was a cannon. Did we have difficulties because it was an all in one printer/ scanner? So, I will also need to figure out which scanner to purchase. :) Thanks so much, Christina On Oct 13, 2009, at 2:30 PM, Anne Robertson wrote: > > Hello Esther and everyone,On Oct 13, 2009, at 10:22 PM, Esther wrote: >> you may not be able to easily and accessibly complete a >> good scan using the purchased software and in addition it may not >> have >> support for your scanner driver, especially if you are using an old >> scanner.

Re: Vuscan and OCR software was Vuscan free?
Hi all, Has anybody tried Kurzweil 3000 for the mac? I know that K 3000 and k 1000 are closely related, so that program should have both good OCR and good scanning in one interface. Is this VO accessible at all? And, other than price, are there any show stopping bugs that would prevent this from being an option for blind users? Just curious, as I use Kurzweil all the time on windows to scan, and it works beautifully. John On Oct 14, 2009, at 5:22 PM, Christina wrote: > > Thanks so much Anne and Ester.

new hearing aids and my Macbook's audio output
I have recently gotten new hearing aids, which come with an "Icom streamer," which is a device for patching the audio of a device into the hearing aids directly. However, after about five seconds of inactivity, the Mac turns off its audio circuit, which causes the streamer to beep madly for a second. Is there a way to fix this so that the Macbook doesn't close down its audio circuit? I guess I could just leave something on running at very low volume, but that seems lugubrious. Is there a way to get around what I assume to be a battery-saving feature? Thanks for any suggestions. :) Mark BurningHawk Baxter Skype and Twitter: BurningHawk1969 MSN: burninghawk1...@hotmail.com My home page: http://MarkBurningHawk.net/ --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "MacVisionaries" group.

Weird. My Skye version is 3.8.088 something.

RE: MacBook Pro suggestions wanted
Also, your options as to what audio production programs are accessible with VO are very limited just yet. So, that will take its own research. -Original Message- From: macvisionaries@googlegroups.com [mailto:macvisionar...@googlegroups.com] On Behalf Of Chris Blouch Sent: Wednesday, October 14, 2009 12:26 PM To: macvisionaries@googlegroups.com Subject: Re: MacBook Pro suggestions wanted Seems like you could do this on most any flavor of Macbook. Only thing that might narrow your choices would be what your audio production software requires.

RE: continuous reading
Some of you may recall that I had asked about this in Leopard in terms of cruising around on my wife's Leopard equipped powerbook. I'll try interacting with text and using VO A to see if I can read more than one paragraph at a time in a news article and get back to you all.

Re: Vuscan and OCR software was Vuscan free?

So, the two are used together. That's exactly right. VueScan produces beautiful clear images which Readiris can then process. I always set VueScan to produce TIFF files since these are rarely used for photos, and then I set all TIFF files to open with Readiris by default. This is necessary if you want VueScan to hand over to Readiris without a hitch. > Is Read Iris the only OCR > software that works with the mac and is also VO compatible as well as > accessible to the blind and visually impaired? For the time being, this would appear to be the case.

I was reading a text book and then I also tried it on the web. Both worked fine. On 14-Oct-09, at 10:11 PM, Kevin Gibbs wrote: > > What are you reading continuously?

Hi, I never got it to work for me, it literally only read contents of VoiceOver cursor, so I dismissed the feature entirely.
