How do I make a backslash. I have tried to press vo+shift+7, because

Downloading MP3, thank you

2010-03-30 Thread M BROWN

Thank all those who responded to my query about downloading MP3 files. However, 
none of the suggestions have worked. I have tried holding down the 
shift/control/option keys while pressing the letter M. This does bring up a 
menu, but within that menu there is nothing about saving target or anything 
similar. I have also held down the option key and pressed enter while on the 
link for the file I want to download. This merely downloads a html document 
relating to the archive page of the Blind Cool Tec site.   Any further 
suggestions would be very much appreciated.
Kind regards, Martin

Re: Downloading MP3, thank you

One final suggestion. You can always use VO-command-f5 to bring the mouse focus 
to that link, hold control and then click the physical mouse. That will bring 
up the context menu.

Accessing the "sort column" command on non-English language input keyboards [was Re: skype and history]


Hello Annie,

On non-English input keyboards you need to use the VoiceOver Commands  
menu (VO+H twice) to access the "Sort Column" function.  Make sure  
that you have first interacted with the column (VO+Shift+Down Arrow),  
then hold down the Control+Option keys and tap the "H" key twice.   
Then select the option for "Sort Column". Sorting can be done in  
either ascending or descending order, so if you want to reverse the  
order in which a column is sorted, apply the "Sort Column" command  
again.  The other command you might commonly have to access through  
the VoiceOver Commands menu is the one to expand or collapse  
disclosure triangles. In many instances where you need to expand or  
collapse entries, such as in "Get Info" windows for items selected in  
Finder, VO+Space will work.  However, if you need to expand the list  
of Radio Streams in iTunes, so you can select and play a particular  
station, or to expand the folder for a podcast subscription you have  
just subscribed to in iTunes, so that you can view and play individual  
episodes, you'll need to do this through the VoiceOver Commands menu  
(VO+H twice) and then select the entry for "Toggle Disclosure  
Triangle" to expand or collapse entries.  Again, it is important that  
you interact before you bring up the Commands menu because the listed  
commands depend on context -- if you're not in a table with columns  
you won't see an option to "Sort Column", etc.


The two commands I've described ("Sort Column" and "Toggle Disclosure  
Triangle") are read out as using the "Vertical Line" key and the  
"Backslash" key.  On an English language input keyboard, the "Vertical  
Line" key is "Shift+Backslash", and the "Backslash" key is located at  
the far right of keyboard, just below the "Delete" key and above the  
"Return" key.  Non-English language keyboards use this key position  
for accented characters that are not used in English, and use  
"Backslash" and "Vertical Line" keys under their extended keyboard  
that requires pressing the "Option" key to generate the character.   
This is why it is necessary to make the selection through the Commands  
Menu.


HTH

Cheers,

Esther

Re: Downloading MP3, thank you


Hello Martin,

There are actually two issues you are experiencing in downloading MP3  
files, and one is specific to the design of the Blind Cool Tech web  
pages: you first have to interact (VO+Shift+Down Arrow) with the link  
entry before you can use either of the suggestions that were made  
(e.g. bring up the context menu with VO+Shift+M and find the option to  
download the linked item or to save it as a file, or use the keyboard  
shortcut of Option+Enter to force downloading of the file).


I usually access the Blind Cool Tech RSS feed at:
http://www.blindcooltech.com/bct.xml
instead of using the main web page for this reason, and also because  
the feed page is much faster to load as well as not having the links  
embedded in elements so that you first have to interact to access  
them.  However, only the 40 latest episodes are listed on the feed  
site, so you may need to go to the main BCT site for earlier  
episodes.  You can also subscribe to the Blind Cool Tech podcasts in  
iTunes by navigating to the "Advanced" menu on the iTunes menu bar (VO 
+Shift+M then press "A"), arrowing down to "Subscribe to Podcast…",  
pressing Enter, and then typing or pasting in the feed address into  
the dialogue window that comes up, and press (VO-Space) the "OK" button.


The podcasts will show up in iTunes under the "Podcasts" playlists.   
You'll need to select this in the sources table of iTunes (after  
interacting), then navigate to the Songs table, interact, and expand  
the list of podcasts with VO-Shift-Backslash.  Then you can start any  
episode playing by pressing enter on the highlighted episode and  
pressing the space bar to pause/resume play.


HTH.  Subscribing to a podcast is not usually so involved; they still  
haven't fixed the bug in the Blind Cool Tech episodes listed at the  
iTunes feed that cropped up a couple of years ago. You might just be  
able to use the "Subscribe" button at the iTunes Store, but the way  
I've outlined will work for sure.


Cheers,

Esther

Re: Brltty and Mac OS X?

Hi Teresa,

I think I've seen your name on a number of Linux lists. Anyway... The short 
answer is that I'm not sure. Having said that, Mac OS X is base on UNIX, so in 
theory, it should be possible to use BRLTTY through the command line. You would 
need to get a USB to Serial adapter though, as there are no serial ports on the 
modern  Mac. Have you looked at Mac Ports?
http://www.macports.org

This site  has a lot of ports from UNIX etc.

Re: logic 9 express accessibility

2010-03-30 Thread erik burggraaf

Hi, if you have a control logic compatible control surface then pro is usible.  
I don't know about express, but I think if I wanted a lite version of logic I'd 
start with garage band.  it's cheeper and more than adequate for learning 
purposes.

Best,

Erik

Re: Downloading MP3, thank you

2010-03-30 Thread M BROWN

Brilliant! That has solved my problem. As you rightly point out, one must first 
interact with the link using vo shift plus down arrow. Then using vo shift M 
brings up the context  menu in which the option to download the target is 
located. You have no doubt saved me a heart attack or at least pulling out all 
my remaining hair by your excellent suggestion. I have been trying to solve 
this problem for several weeks, and would like to thank all, but in particular 
you, for helping me find a resolution.
All the best from a very wet and cold Ireland.

  Hello Martin,


  There are actually two issues you are experiencing in downloading MP3 files, 
and one is specific to the design of the Blind Cool Tech web pages: you first 
have to interact (VO+Shift+Down Arrow) with the link entry before you can use 
either of the suggestions that were made (e.g. bring up the context menu with 
VO+Shift+M and find the option to download the linked item or to save it as a 
file, or use the keyboard shortcut of Option+Enter to force downloading of the 
file).


  I usually access the Blind Cool Tech RSS feed at:
  http://www.blindcooltech.com/bct.xml
  instead of using the main web page for this reason, and also because the feed 
page is much faster to load as well as not having the links embedded in 
elements so that you first have to interact to access them.  However, only the 
40 latest episodes are listed on the feed site, so you may need to go to the 
main BCT site for earlier episodes.  You can also subscribe to the Blind Cool 
Tech podcasts in iTunes by navigating to the "Advanced" menu on the iTunes menu 
bar (VO+Shift+M then press "A"), arrowing down to "Subscribe to Podcast…", 
pressing Enter, and then typing or pasting in the feed address into the 
dialogue window that comes up, and press (VO-Space) the "OK" button.


  The podcasts will show up in iTunes under the "Podcasts" playlists.  You'll 
need to select this in the sources table of iTunes (after interacting), then 
navigate to the Songs table, interact, and expand the list of podcasts with 
VO-Shift-Backslash.  Then you can start any episode playing by pressing enter 
on the highlighted episode and pressing the space bar to pause/resume play.


  HTH.  Subscribing to a podcast is not usually so involved; they still haven't 
fixed the bug in the Blind Cool Tech episodes listed at the iTunes feed that 
cropped up a couple of years ago. You might just be able to use the "Subscribe" 
button at the iTunes Store, but the way I've outlined will work for sure.


  Cheers,


  Esther

One final suggestion. You can always use VO-command-f5 to bring the mouse

bring up the context menu.

  Thank all those who responded to my query about downloading MP3 files. 
However, none of the suggestions have worked. I have tried holding down the 
shift/control/option keys while pressing the letter M. This does bring up a 
menu, but within that menu there is nothing about saving target or anything 
similar. I have also held down the option key and pressed enter while on the 
link for the file I want to download. This merely downloads a html document 
relating to the archive page of the Blind Cool Tec site.   Any further 
suggestions would be very much appreciated.
  Kind regards, Martin

RE: logic 9 express

There is nothing for sequencing.

Get your money back.

Sorry.

Perhaps when the new Pro Tools release comes with the accessibility fixes, you 
can buy that. The only public statement about when that will be available was 
sometime this Spring. The next release for all Pro Tools users will include the 
changes, though, so, when-ever that comes, then the accessibility will, also.

RE: reaper

It could be better, if someone spent the time to write a plug in to speech 
enable the track view, like in Windows. I don't think there is enough money in 
that project, though, to convince any devs to take on the work right now. I 
doubt that people would pay $50 for a plug to speech-enable a $40 app. So, 
you'll have to wait for someone that is really smart, but has a lot of time on 
their hands that they don't want to spend with their friends, family, or 
hobbies.

Garage Band only works with the built-in sampler. You can add sounds and

Burning ISO Images

Hi,

Recently, I have had to try out a number of different GNU/Linux distros. I use 
Safari to download them from their web sites and then, using disk utility, burn 
the DVD. I got this to work with the SpeakUp Modified Fedora but all other 
downloads cause Disk Utility to crap out on verification.

This is on a six month old MacBook Pro 13 which shouldn't have any really bad 
problems yet.

Any ideas?

Hi Teresa,

I am guessing that is correct. Perhaps it has not been ported over yet - if

regarding the crappy Jaws licens which just crash if you add more ram to your

I've found this too. Have you tried to reduce the burning speed to the lowest 
possible speed for your machine? Sometimes for some reason when DVDs etc are 
burned quickly, some sort of corruption takes place. This makes me wonder why 
such speeds exist if corruption occurs after using them.

Re: toast?

.toast files are created by Toast, a commercial CD burning application. 
Depending what is in there it might just be an ISO file. If so you could 
try renaming it to .iso and burn it with the Apple Disk Utility. Another 
forum said that LiquidCD will burn .toast files.


http://www.maconnect.ch/index.php?page=liquidcd&lang=en

In either case, I don't think it's a file format that is designed for 
distributing archived files. It's mean more as a file to feed a burner. 
If the iso trick works you might be able to just mount it via disk 
utility rather than burn it.

Re: Burning ISO Images

Do you need to burn them at all? I think Fusion will allow you to point 
to an ISO and boot from it.

Re: Burning ISO Images

2010-03-30 Thread Brent Harding

How do you install these without site on the Mac? Could I just use Boot Camp 
and then toss in a linux disk and go? I know the instructions I found on the 
Ubuntu say you have to use a certain utility loaded from the boot loader 
that won't speak to sync the partition table after installing or something, 
but is there now a way around that? I thought they said it was a menu-based 
thing you have to boot into. I tried one of the versions of Ubuntu awhile 
back using Easyvmx's online utility that basically creates an empty virtual 
machine for VMWare Player, but with heavy activity in the sense of a lot of 
text being generated, Orca just locks, and I end up needing a whole system 
restart as you can't kill it easily in this state either. I think that's to 
do with the sound driver in VMWare, so I'd rather try it the real way on my 
Macbook, but don't have the sighted help. Is there an easy way?

Re: Downloading MP3, thank you

It's unfortunate that this site has so many HTML errors which makes
accessibility poor. Any basic validator will flag the missing alt text
on images, misspelled href and broken link constructs. Everybody fat
fingers stuff sometimes but that's why these error checkers exist and
not using them (or not fixing the errors they find) is just bad
practice. Here is the output from the w3c's validator showing 361 errors:

http://validator.w3.org/check?uri=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.blindcooltech.com%2F&charset=%28detect+automatically%29&doctype=Inline&group=0

Deque makes a nice accessibility validator which you can scan a page for
free. It found 1238 errors:

http://worldspace.deque.com/wsservice/eval/reports/consolidate/report.jsp?siteid=10014&collPractices=ACCESSIBILITY;&compliance=W2_LEVEL_A&page=http://www.blindcooltech.com

Of course 328K of HTML for a home page is huge, which probably bogs down
any processing VO is doing to find headers to jump to or whatever. Would
be nice to have the page break the content into sections. Maybe by year,
or whatever.

Esther wrote:

Hello Martin,

There are actually two issues you are experiencing in downloading MP3
files, and one is specific to the design of the Blind Cool Tech web
pages: you first have to interact (VO+Shift+Down Arrow) with the link
entry before you can use either of the suggestions that were made
(e.g. bring up the context menu with VO+Shift+M and find the option to
download the linked item or to save it as a file, or use the keyboard
shortcut of Option+Enter to force downloading of the file).

I usually access the Blind Cool Tech RSS feed at:
http://www.blindcooltech.com/bct.xml
instead of using the main web page for this reason, and also because
the feed page is much faster to load as well as not having the links
embedded in elements so that you first have to interact to access
them. However, only the 40 latest episodes are listed on the feed
site, so you may need to go to the main BCT site for earlier episodes.
You can also subscribe to the Blind Cool Tech podcasts in iTunes by
navigating to the "Advanced" menu on the iTunes menu bar (VO+Shift+M
then press "A"), arrowing down to "Subscribe to Podcast…", pressing
Enter, and then typing or pasting in the feed address into the
dialogue window that comes up, and press (VO-Space) the "OK" button.

The podcasts will show up in iTunes under the "Podcasts" playlists.
You'll need to select this in the sources table of iTunes (after
interacting), then navigate to the Songs table, interact, and expand
the list of podcasts with VO-Shift-Backslash. Then you can start any
episode playing by pressing enter on the highlighted episode and
pressing the space bar to pause/resume play.

HTH. Subscribing to a podcast is not usually so involved; they still
haven't fixed the bug in the Blind Cool Tech episodes listed at the
iTunes feed that cropped up a couple of years ago. You might just be
able to use the "Subscribe" button at the iTunes Store, but the way
I've outlined will work for sure.

Cheers,

Esther

Have you played with any virtual appliances? I haven't tried this but

Re: radio station programs

2010-03-30 Thread Brent Harding

I was wondering the same thing, really. There could be times when I might be 
away from home, and the Mac is the portable I have if I'd want to take 
something with. One option is to use Boot Camp and use Station Playlist like 
I would in Windows. Another is to prepare the show in Windows, record it, 
and bring it as one large mp3 and use Nicecast and Itunes to play it out. My 
ideal option would be to record ahead of time in that case and have some 
utility Crontab could run to stream the file out. I don't know that netcat 
or wget can do it as I'm sure there's more than just sending the file at a 
shoutcast server.


The problem I see with Nicecast, doing it any other way than prerecorded is 
the fact of muting and unmuting the mic, you have to use this Voiceover 
effect in the effects panel which isn't so accessible, not sure a global 
hotkey can be made to toggle it as needed. some other project that looks 
interesting is called Radiologik. I think that one could still use Rosetta 
though as it may be PPC code last I knew.

Re: radio station programs

2010-03-30 Thread Brent Harding

I think he could be looking at how to broadcast one on the Mac. I heard of 
Nicecast, but in order to talk on the show you have to use the effects 
panel, I think, to engage the voiceover effect to take the mic off mute. How 
to control that from within the Itunes window sounds hard. I think 
originating the broadcast is best left to a Windows box unless I'm missing 
something.

At the moment, you can't navigate the headings like you can in Safari, because 
the text is just text and not HTML. In the "Format" menu, under the Paragraphs 
option, you can choose between six levels of headings, but again, they are just 
text not actual HTML elements. 

The TOC is an abbreviation for Table ofContents.

You might want to E-Mail: supp...@nisus.com to ask them if they can do 
something to allow VO to navigate headings and TOcs. If you've got any more

Re: toast?


Hello Clarence and Chris,

You should be able to both read and convert .toast files with Disk  
Utility.  I'm not sure what is meant by "extracting" from .toast files  
here, but I gather that you don't have Toast on your Mac.  If you want  
to change your files over to a more standard format for Macs, such as  
a disk image, you would open them with Disk Utility. Then you would  
select the file in the "Selected Disks" table (e.g., VO-Right arrow to  
this, interact, and then highlight your file). Choose the "Convert"  
button in the Disk Utility title bar (Control-F5 to move to the title  
bar, tab to the "Convert" button, VO-Space to press the button).  In  
the dialog window text box for "Save as:" type in the name of the file  
with a .dmg extension. VO-Space on the pop up button to choose the  
destination folder.  All the regular Finder short cuts also work here  
(e.g., Command-Shift-H for home; Command-Shift-D for Desktop, etc.),  
so if you want your file to be saved in a location that isn't listed  
in the pop up button alternatives, you can use Command-Shift-G ("Go to  
Folder") and type in the path to any folder you want, e.g.:


/Users/clarence/Documents/mystuff

Other than that, Chris is correct in saying that the .toast format can  
be similar to ISO.

.toast files are created by Toast, a commercial CD burning  
application. Depending what is in there it might just be an ISO  
file. If so you could try renaming it to .iso and burn it with the  
Apple Disk Utility. Another forum said that LiquidCD will  
burn .toast files.


http://www.maconnect.ch/index.php?page=liquidcd&lang=en

In either case, I don't think it's a file format that is designed  
for distributing archived files. It's mean more as a file to feed a  
burner. If the iso trick works you might be able to just mount it  
via disk utility rather than burn it.

Re: Burning ISO Images

If the distro is on a "live" CD/DVD you can boot directly from your drive and 
play around without dealing with either boot camp or Fusion.

assigning hotkeys to menu-items

2010-03-30 Thread William Windels

Hi all,
I would like to assign hotkeys to menu-items of programs.
I can do this in the item keyboard > hotkeys in system preferences..

e.g.: I want to assign the key F1 to the item "search interactive" , that's 
available in the help-menu of all programs.

 But, this seems not to work always:

with vo, I can't see where are capitals in the menu-items since they are always 
underlined on the brailledisplay.
 (This underlining is not a good option I think)
Perhaps, because of that, it's not working?

Also , F-keys are not allowed and items in services can't have a hotkey.

I think, it's a very good tool for blind users but it seems not to work good at 
the moment.

What are your suggestions / comments?

Thanx in advance,
best rgards,
William

Moderator note -was- Re: Windows talk

2010-03-30 Thread Cara Quinn

  Hi James, am writing on-list so that others see this as well. 

  Thanks very much for your note, and to all; Windows and Windows screen 
readers in regard to use with Bootcamp and / or virtual machines on the Mac, 
are completely on-topic here as far as I'm concerned. 

  Now, having said this, Windows-only discussions and / or discussions purely 
of Windows screenreaders are most definitely not on-topic here. I'd prefer us 
not to get bogged down in Windows specifics if they have nothing to do with VMs 
or Bootcamp running on your Mac, I.E. questions like, 'What's the windows 
keystroke for getting to the Start Menu?' or 'How do I get Jaws or Windoweyes 
to read from the top of the page?' would be off-topic if they have nothing to 
do with HOw windows is running on your Mac. 

  I know it's a bit of a grey area, but I hope this makes sense. If not, rather 
than email the list, please do write me privately at:

caraqu...@caraquinn.com 

 -with any questions or concerns you might have. :) As James and others can 
attest to, it may take me a few days to get back with you, but I will get back 
with you. :)

  Have a great day / evening All!

Smiles,

Cara :)

Hi everyone,

Lately, I've seen a lot of messages and threads here regarding Windows and

I'm not trying to start a flame war, I'm just curious.

Thanks for taking the time to read this message.

Re: logic 9 express

Hi,

No offense but, could you write a little more than 1 word?  It would be nice to 
have an idea of what your saying "no" to without reading more of the thread.  
Plus the question was answered long ago so your 1 word answer is even more of a 
waste since you didn't even give further insight or ad to the answer in any way.

Re: assigning hotkeys to menu-items

2010-03-30 Thread William Windels

Hi James,
thanx for your answer.
I know that this is the default key for the help but it's not the same as 
search interactive.
With search interactive, the system will also search in the menu-items of the 
current program 
So, jou have direct results in a table and its a fast way to search and 
activate menu-items.

Also, the function to link hotkeys to menu-items can be very useful in other 
situations.
Someone told me that there are some bugs in the system to assign hotkeys to 
menu-items.

I am courious in your experiences...

best regards,
William

Subscribing to podcasts in iTunes [was Re: Downloading MP3, thank you]


Hi Sarah,

I've always been able to use either method for subscribing to podcasts  
in iTunes: (1) finding the podcast in the iTunes Store and subscribing  
or (2) add the podcast feed in the Advanced menu of iTunes.   
Admittedly, I don't use the second method as often now, since if I use  
the iTunes Store podcasts pages I have a lot more options for  
inspecting episodes and content, and even for providing a direct link  
to a specific episode.  I generally only use the Advanced menu to  
subscribe when the podcast has no entry in the iTunes Store podcast  
pages.  For example, Serotek's podcast series is not at the iTunes  
Store, so I use the feed to subscribe:


http://serotalk.com/feed

The usual problem people have with the "Subscribe to podcast" menu  
option under the Advanced menu is that they may be using an address  
that is not a feed.  Entering:


http://www.blindcooltech.com/bct.xml

works for Blind Cool Tech subscriptions, but entering the main BCT web  
page address does not. Some podcast distributors change their feed  
addresses.  In that case, your entries for the podcast series will be  
grouped under a second subscription with the same name.  This happened  
with the BBC Radio 4 "In Our Times" podcast a couple of years ago -- I  
had the original podcast feed added from their web page, and it  
stopped updating correctly and could not be fixed even by refreshing  
the feed.  So I had to switch my subscription as though I were  
starting as a new subscriber at the iTunes Store.


HTH

Cheers,

Esther

Hello Martin,

There are actually two issues you are experiencing in downloading  
MP3 files, and one is specific to the design of the Blind Cool Tech  
web pages: you first have to interact (VO+Shift+Down Arrow) with  
the link entry before you can use either of the suggestions that  
were made (e.g. bring up the context menu with VO+Shift+M and find  
the option to download the linked item or to save it as a file, or  
use the keyboard shortcut of Option+Enter to force downloading of  
the file).


I usually access the Blind Cool Tech RSS feed at:
http://www.blindcooltech.com/bct.xml
instead of using the main web page for this reason, and also  
because the feed page is much faster to load as well as not having  
the links embedded in elements so that you first have to interact  
to access them.  However, only the 40 latest episodes are listed on  
the feed site, so you may need to go to the main BCT site for  
earlier episodes.  You can also subscribe to the Blind Cool Tech  
podcasts in iTunes by navigating to the "Advanced" menu on the  
iTunes menu bar (VO+Shift+M then press "A"), arrowing down to  
"Subscribe to Podcast…", pressing Enter, and then typing or pasting  
in the feed address into the dialogue window that comes up, and  
press (VO-Space) the "OK" button.


The podcasts will show up in iTunes under the "Podcasts"  
playlists.  You'll need to select this in the sources table of  
iTunes (after interacting), then navigate to the Songs table,  
interact, and expand the list of podcasts with VO-Shift-Backslash.   
Then you can start any episode playing by pressing enter on the  
highlighted episode and pressing the space bar to pause/resume play.


HTH.  Subscribing to a podcast is not usually so involved; they  
still haven't fixed the bug in the Blind Cool Tech episodes listed  
at the iTunes feed that cropped up a couple of years ago. You might  
just be able to use the "Subscribe" button at the iTunes Store, but  
the way I've outlined will work for sure.


Cheers,

Esther

Thank all those who responded to my query about downloading MP3

is nothing about saving target or anything similar. I have also  
held down the option key and pressed enter while on the link for  
the file I want to download. This merely downloads a html  
document relating to the archive page of the Blind Cool Tec  
site.   Any further suggestions would be very much appreciated.

You can change the speed if you check the box that says "Ready to burn." It's 
odd but it worked for me.

Re: Subscribing to podcasts in iTunes [was Re: Downloading MP3, thank you]

2010-03-30 Thread Karen Lewellen

Hi Esther,
asking this out of curiosity?
We have a station here n Toronto who has just switched to providing their 
podcasts only via itunes, as in the link looks for itnues on your computer 
before even letting you consider getting the show, smiles.
It is frustrating as I was previously subscribed via e-mail, and I am not 
an itunes user.
is there any way to break the cycle?  to for example get someone to 
subscribe me for the podcast at itunes, but not require itunes after that 
is done, allowing me to use my own programs for playing podcasts?
The hint given is that itunes is for organizing only, even though I know you 
can play things there too.

Hope my question makes sense,
Karen

On Tue, 30 Mar 2010, Esther wrote:

Hi Sarah,

I've always been able to use either method for subscribing to podcasts in 
iTunes: (1) finding the podcast in the iTunes Store and subscribing or (2) 
add the podcast feed in the Advanced menu of iTunes.  Admittedly, I don't use 
the second method as often now, since if I use the iTunes Store podcasts 
pages I have a lot more options for inspecting episodes and content, and even 
for providing a direct link to a specific episode.  I generally only use the 
Advanced menu to subscribe when the podcast has no entry in the iTunes Store 
podcast pages.  For example, Serotek's podcast series is not at the iTunes 
Store, so I use the feed to subscribe:

http://serotalk.com/feed

The usual problem people have with the "Subscribe to podcast" menu option 
under the Advanced menu is that they may be using an address that is not a 
feed.  Entering:

http://www.blindcooltech.com/bct.xml

works for Blind Cool Tech subscriptions, but entering the main BCT web page 
address does not. Some podcast distributors change their feed addresses.  In 
that case, your entries for the podcast series will be grouped under a second 
subscription with the same name.  This happened with the BBC Radio 4 "In Our 
Times" podcast a couple of years ago -- I had the original podcast feed added 
from their web page, and it stopped updating correctly and could not be fixed 
even by refreshing the feed.  So I had to switch my subscription as though I 
were starting as a new subscriber at the iTunes Store.

HTH

Cheers,

Esther

Re: radio station programs

Hi.

I am using RadioShift. The good thing about radioshift is, that you
can use it both for netradiostations and you can also buy a usb radio,
that can be used together with radioshift. It is not fully accessible
but nearly, what I need to do, I can do. You have also the
possibillity to record from a radiostation.

DOM and Group Modes

2010-03-30 Thread Linda Adams

Hello list,
 
I've been away but am back to learning my way around my Macbook.  I've
been trying to compare these 2 modes on some of my frequently used web
pages.  As the Apple Guide stated, DOM seems most like browsing with
Windows.  I am stumped over Group mode.  
 
I was looking at my Facebook page and couldn't get a feel of Group mode
at all.  Is it because Facebook doesn't lend itself to this mode or is
it my newness?  Is there a better web page where I can get a feel of
Group mode?  
 
Lastly, when I'm in group mode and it is set on Navigation, will single
flick down take me from one group to the next group?  I'm a little lost
here.
 
Thanks in advance,
Linda

Alternate playback methods for podcast subscriptions [was Re: Subscribing to podcasts in iTunes [was Re: Downloading MP3, thank you]]


Hi Karen,

Are you using a different podcatcher for the podcasts?  When you say  
you were subscribed via e-mail do you meant that they e-mailed the  
podcast as an attachment each time there was a new episode? Also, are  
you playing these all on a Mac, or are you sharing with a Windows  
machine?


If you have a Mac, then iTunes is on your system, and you can  
certainly use it to subscribe to podcasts, and you can even subscribe  
to them yourself, if you know the podcast feed.  In most cases, this  
is given as a link on the station's web page, and the feed address  
might look like:


http://www.example.com/feed.xml

(It doesn't have to have the .xml extension, but that's the type of  
file it is). Stations can actually provide you with a one-click link  
to subscribe to podcasts in iTunes by changing the "http" prefix to  
"itpc" (for "iTunes podcast").  Then, when you click on the link, or  
copy it to your browser's address bar, you'll automatically be asked  
whether you want to subscribe to this podcast in iTunes.


The answer to your main question is yes, you can use iTunes to  
organize and automatically download podcasts, but then play them in  
another music player.  They'll be stored in a folder under your user  
account:


"Music/iTunes/iTunes Music/Podcasts"

under individual folders named for each podcast subscription.  If your  
Mac is new, and came loaded with iTunes 9, then the folder might be  
named with "iTunes Media" instead of "iTunes Music":


"Music/iTunes/iTunes Media/Podcasts"

You can then change the default app for opening your mp3 files (if you  
haven't already done so) by selecting one of your podcasts a file in  
Finder, then using "Get Info" (Command-I). Navigate in the Get Info  
window to where you hear "Open with" then VO-Right arrow to the pop up  
button, press it with VO-Space, and set it to the application you  
want.  If you VO-Right arrow from there, you'll hear  "Use this  
application to open all documents like this" followed by a "Change  
all" button that you can press to change the default application used  
to open the file.  Close the Get Info window with Command-W when done.


Even if you don't change the default player app from "iTunes" to  
another player, you can still play these podcasts without opening  
iTunes by using QuickLook -- just press space bar on one of the  
selected files and it will start playing.  Press space bar again to  
stop.


The only thing I'm not sure about is whether the subscription will  
eventually stop adding episodes if none of the files ever gets played  
in iTunes.  There's a safeguard that keeps you from starting  
subscriptions that you forget about and coming back some months later  
to find that your disk has filled up!


Let me know if this is for iTunes on Windows.  I'm also adding a  
PostScript about another alternative if you want to play your music in  
a file-based navigation way, but don't want to get into the details of  
iTunes.


Cheers,

Esther

P.S. There's another easy way you can play your podcasts in iTunes but  
not have to learn about navigating through iTunes if you only want to  
use it for podcasts.  You can place the folder that contains Podcasts  
in the Dock.  You'll have to navigate to the folder in the dock, and  
then use the contextual menu (VO-Shift-M or Command-Down Arrow) to  
change the view options to display as "Folder" instead of "Stack" and  
to view as "List" or "Automatic" instead of "Fan", and each change  
requires a separate instance of bringing up the menu to change the  
checked option.  Once you do that, you can navigate to this location  
in the Dock (e.g. VO-D, then press "p o" to go to the "Podcasts"  
folder), VO-Space to bring up an alphabetized menu list of the podcast  
subscription folders in iTunes, Right arrow to the subfolders, and  
arrow down (or type the first letters) of the episode you want.  Press  
enter to start the track playing in iTunes.  Press space bar to stop  
if you're in iTunes. If you want to switch apps (to have as little to  
do with iTunes as possible), use Command-Tab to switch to a different  
application while iTunes is playing. You can always use Fn+F8 (one of  
the Mac's media keys on keyboards from the last 3 years) to play/pause  
the track, Fn+F7 to rewind, Fn+F9 to fast forward, Fn+F10 to mute  
sound, Fn+F11 to lower volume, and Fn+F12 to raise volume.  The media  
keys work for third party apps, too, and your application does not  
have to be in the foreground for these keys to work.   If you play  
tracks this way, you can take advantage of the fact that podcasts you  
subscribe to and play in iTunes will automatically "remember" the last  
played position and resume playback from there.  This does not happen  
if you play the same tracks in another media player.  Write back if  
you want more details about how to do this.

Voice control which comes built in to the iPhone already lets you control the

can download dragon dictation which allows you to compose e-mails and texts 
with your voice.  I think its still free but not sure.

Re: DOM and Group Modes

2010-03-30 Thread erik burggraaf

Hi Linda,  I wouldn't recommend using facebook to learn group mode.  It's 
roughly equivalent to trying to teaching yourself piano using a grade 12 royal 
conservatory book.  Facebook is ideal for group mode once you have the feel of 
it, but it's definitely not a good primer.  

Torrent trackers are particularly nice in group mode.  Some well designed 
shopping sights are good places to start.  A particularly good one is eluding 
me just at the moment.

Actually,  I've just tried my Own website out in group mode, and if you want a 
good idea what group mode does, that'll do.  Visit 
http://www.erik-burggraaf.com in dom mode first and read the home page.  Then 
switch to group mode and refresh the page and read again.  Then have a look at 
the equipment list in dom order and refresh it in group mode.  Now that I also 
come to think about it, http://www.tapetrader.com was another site where group 
mode serves particularly well.

I'm sorry I don't know the answer to your question about trackpad commander.  I 
have had a hard time getting the feel of the thing myself.

RE: logic 9 express

I have an M-Audio ProjectMix hardware control surface with a Logic mode. Some 
features normally not accessible, like track volume levels, track pan position, 
and a few others can be operated with the help of the surface, but a lot is 
still out. I don't know any way to connect softsynths or effects, for example.

Hi Listers,
I have a friend using Logic audio 9 with surface controller and LOTS of key

Every version they release gets more accessible lets hope they see it through

Keep emailing logic please.

Response to Vlingo - Voice App query [was Re: Vlingo on tthe Iphone]


Hi Ricardo and Graham,

I believe that Graham is in the U.K., so Dragon Dictation (still free  
for the U.S. and Canada) is not an option for him, hence the possible  
interest in Vlingo. I'll cc: this response to the viphone list. I  
haven't used this app myself, but I can point you to a few recent  
reviews -- one from TUAW and another from a U.K. web site.  These, of  
course, deal with the app as a whole, and not with the aspect of  
VoiceOver accessibility. Since there was extensive discussion of how  
Dragon Dictation worked and how best to use it with VoiceOver on the  
viphone list, it's reasonable that someone looking at an app with  
similar properties would ask if anyone had tried it, and how people  
were able to use it.


Quick summary of the reviews is that Vlingo has nice potential  
capabilities, but suffers considerably in comparison with Dragon  
Dictation as to its voice recognition accuracy, and the potential  
strong point of sending updates directly to Twitter or Facebook was  
hampered by the need to copy and paste. Additional support features  
are available as in-app purchase add-ons.  The verdict was to try the  
free version, forego the in-app purchases, and to monitor progress.   
I'm not sure that this is yet a quality replacement for apps like  
Dragon Dictation or Siri.


I'll paste in some relevant excerpts; the reviews contain fuller  
descriptions of the Vlingo app's layout, so you can check the links to  
read the full posts.  The Vlingo URL is:
"Vlingo - Voice App" by Vlingo corporation (free with in-app add-on  
purchases):

http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/vlingo-voice-app/id297214191?mt=8

• TUAW: "Vlingo 2 adds more voice power to iPhone" March 4, 2010


• Know Your Mobile: "Vlingo review" (U.K. site) March 15, 2010



Excerpt from TUAW Vlingo 2 review:

You can search (Google, Yahoo, or Bing), find map items, dial your  
contacts (with optional contact name upload to Vlingo's servers to  
improve recognition) and update your Facebook or Twitter status. For  
email or SMS, you have two in-app purchase options to extend the free  
app's capabilities; it's $6.99 for either SMS or email action, $9.99  
for both.
Vlingo has gotten a thorough UI overhaul in this new version, and it's  
quite a bit easier to use than it was. The dictation button can be  
used in hold-down or tap-to-talk mode, and the app can be set to  
recognize speech on launch for maximum speed. You can specify what  
action you want by speaking it: "Email Joey, Subject how about some  
coffee, Message Got time to meet me at Starbucks? You're buying!" will  
create and address an outgoing email for you, all in one step.


That one-stop-shopping for creating emails [to  is definitely more  
streamlined than Dragon's implementation, and it also exposes one of  
Vlingo's handiest features: a record button in the confirmation/edit  
screen for each of the destinations, allowing you to append or insert  
new dictation where you need it. Important safety note: while Vlingo  
isn't intended for use while driving or during other attention- 
critical tasks, it's probably less distracting to speak a few  
sentences than it is to type them.


Unfortunately, there are one or two drawbacks to the Vlingo fandango.  
First, there isn't a raw 'notepad' mode, where you can simply dictate  
text with the intention of copying it to another app. Of course, if  
you have the $6.99 email module, you can use that for free text entry,  
but in the free app there's no direct way to do it except by speaking  
a Facebook update and then copying instead of sending it (which works  
fine, by the way).


The second drawback is more consequential, and hopefully one that will  
be fixed over time; the recognition simply isn't as good as Dragon's,  
at least at the start (in one instance, it misheard "2.0" as "to  
porno," which is certainly spicier). Vlingo's VP of Consumer Business,  
Hadley Harris, told me that the app does learn and improve as you use  
it, both for individual accuracy as it's corrected and globally as new  
words are added to the back-end recognition engine.


The good news is, the base app is free, and it's worth a try to see if  
it meets your needs as well or better than the Dragon suite, Siri or  
any of the other voice apps. I'm not sure the email or SMS buy-ups are  
as good a deal, but that will depend on your individual needs and  
usage profile.



Excerpt from U.K. Know your Mobile Vlingo review:

There are a whole load of commands you can instruct Vlingo to do,  
including find an address or business on Google Maps, search the  
internet, dial a phone number, send an SMS or email.


The design is pretty basic, comprising of nothing but that Press &  
Speak button and the help panel below.

RE: third pardy vst for garage band

I think that they're confused.

If you install Logic, that automatically includes installs all of the Jam 
Packs. The Jam Packs are accessible from GB. So, installing Logic adds 
instrument sounds to GB. You could get those same sounds by just purchasing and 
installing the Jam Packs, though.

You do get some extra loops with Logic that aren't part of GB, I think.

some sound weirdness in 10.6.3

I've been at this for a day now, and there are some minor performance increases 
as in when i select or deselect files or folders in finder, the right file or 
folder name is being given an action, whether selected deselected or deleted. 
This was a voice over specific bug.

I do have something odd here now, i don't know if its apple's deliberate change 
for some reason or other, but my browsing link and loaded sounds now have a 
latency tinge to them, as if someone flipped a spoon around a wine glass.

Anyone got that too? Its not anything daunthing per say, but i'm wondering if 
its just my imagination or if apple is controlling us with progressive sound 
scapes into economic slavery. Just joking on that last part. Loves this thing :)

I have not noticed any difference in the sound. That is interesting and I'll 
keep an ear out and see if anything is different or I'm finally loosing my

Hi,

Well man. If it is, I want to get it. Of course, there's my concern of 
international shipping. It's always going to be there when dealing with US

A program for ripping dvd's to mp3

Hi all.

Which program is the most accessible for making dvd's into mp3. I have
thought of handbrake, but I can not really got it to work. I am
willing to pay for a program, if there is one, which is accessible
with voice over.

Best regards Annie.

Re: A program for ripping dvd's to mp3

2010-03-30 Thread Maxwell Ivey Jr.

Hello; let me know if you find one.  I use handbreak, but I hate the  
fact there is no way that I've found to rip directly to mp3's.  after  
handbreak is through, you have to run another program to convert mp4's  
to mp3's.  it works, and its free; but there has to be something  
better. thanks and good luck, max

Latest iTunes

Folks,

Has anyone had any issues with he latest iTunes? I installed the latest version 
and have found that it constantly crashes when attempting to access the songs 
table while VO is running. I tried repairing disk permissions with no success. 
I have not found where iTunes hides the user plists etc. I will try a test 
account to see if I get the same results, but I am curious if anyone has seen 
this. Not sure if I can just replace the iTunes program with an older version, 
but this so far isn't turning out to be such a great thing.

tnx,

Re: Latest iTunes

Hmmm, well as long as I only use my radio stations playlist, I seem to be ok. 
I'm afraid of trying to do any searches at this point since iTunes will likely 
just crash. Seems to only be an issue when VO is running. I suspect just 
copying a prior version over will not work very well. I so far have not found 
where iTunes hides its configuration files. I looked at the crash report and 
get the impression there is a problem with a configuration file. I can't verify 
this yet and I may be missing the real cause from lack of knowledge of some 
information in the crash log. Hopefully these issues will be fixed quickly or 
at least we'll find a solution to our issues. :)
