To all software developers, anyone know of a good development software for the Mac?
I'm going to take an introduction to computer programming and logic this summer, and the instructor knows I am blind and that I use voice over on the Mac. HE also is a MAc user, and he will be teaching the class this summer. He told me that the class would be using Alice, but I've looked at that program and it doesn't appear to be all that useful. So, does anyone know of any intro level software development programs that can help me get started to learn to program that works with v o? Thanks.

Re: To all software developers, anyone know of a good development software for the Mac?
Hello Jess, I think xCode with InterfaceBuilder is not accessible with VO. If you want to learn programming without graphical interface, you can use a lot of langages. The applications will run in the terminal. If you want to learn simple langage with graphical interface, you can learn AppleScript. You will find a lot of doc on the web.

Re: IPhone 4, and IAds
Neil, thanks for coming to my defense. Appreciate it, buddy. I did not appreciate being told to grow up on list, just for voicing my opinion, and it's rather nice to know that my opinion has somevalidity and that I'm not totally off the wall for not wanting ads.

Re: transfering documents through iTunes?
Hello, I guess your talking about mobile me? Well, the short answer is a lot of people don't want to pay $100 just for the luxury of transferring small notes and reminders to their computers.

Re: help with scanning in abby finereader
Hi Matthew! If your scanner shows up on the mac you can use image capture to scan the document, save it, then have Abbyy fineReader Recognize the file. It will ask you "get image from: and file is an option there--or at least on the version I had. I had an automater workflow at one time that would do both of those tasks for you. If I can find it I'll post it here--if that's acceptable. On Apr 11, 2010, at 6:26 AM, Matthew Campbell wrote: > Hello list. > I'm wondering ow to get documents in to finereader for it to process.

Re: extra voices
InfoVox would probably be the best choice. I like the Cepstral voices as well but they appear not to work too well with VoiceOver, at least for me. From what I understand, AT&T has a package of voices that are supposed to be quite good but they're well over $300. Go with InfoVox. They have a 30-day trial period although mine seemed to last only 2 weeks before I started getting an incessant reminder that the trial period was going to expire or something to that effect. At any rate, the 2 weeks was more than enough time to convince me that the voices sounded great and worked well with VoiceOver.

Re: NLS DTB players, usb flash drives, formating on a mac, cartrage errors Help?
Good morning everyone, Thanks for the suggestion of the kingston data traveler I plan to obtain one as soon as I am able. What size is best? Also why will the two flash drives I currently have format and work fine in the dtb player if they are formated on a windows computer but give me cartrage errors galore if done on a Mac? And Jesssica I have the same weird problem you spoke to. I'll remove books off a flash drive but the flash drive still is full even tho there are no dtbs on it. What's up with that? And apart from reformatting the silly thing is there anything to be done for it? Sorry so full of questions...

Window switching shortcuts with VoiceOver on the Mac [was Re: Something interesting I found in safari possibly works in other apps]
Hi Jessica, The shortcut sequence you posted of Command+Accent to cycle through open windows in applications with VoiceOver on the Mac works for all applications, including the Terminal, but since this was posted to the viphone list instead of macvisionaries, of which you're also a member, I've changed the subject line in my reply, and I'm following up with a reply to both lists. Yes, this is a useful tip, and cycling through open application windows with Command+Accent is a fast way to switch windows that is analogous to using Command+Tab to switch through open applications. In the case of both these shortcuts, holding down the Shift key while using the shortcut reverses the order in which you cycle. It would be interesting if the keyboard shortcuts for the iPad eventually accommodate similar shortcuts, since these are general Mac OS X shortcuts that are not VoiceOver specific. The OS 4.0 keynote announcement that described fast switching between apps (in a multi- tasking environment) for the iPhone and iPad might use something like this on the keyboard. More likely, there would be a rotor setting for switching windows or documents in Pages, Numbers, or Keynote productivity apps. Getting back to discussing window switching and selection with VoiceOver on the Mac, it's probably helpful to state when you specifically want to use the VoiceOver window chooser menu option (VO +F2 twice) instead of Command+Accent. The window chooser menu shortcut (hold down the VoiceOver Control+Option keys, then tap the F2 key two times, and select the window) works in instances where you need to accept a license or registration agreement for software installation and are prompted to do so in another window. It also works for instances where VoiceOver has for some reason lost the focus of your current window and you want to get back to it. There are also a few odd instances where using the window chooser menu gives you access to other functions: when you're in Finder and working with a few third-party apps you've installed, such as DropBox (for cross- platform file sharing), for example. Third-Party applications such as DropBox and JustNotes (one of the free desktop counterpoints for the Simplenote app on the iPhone/iPod Touch that allows automatic note syncing/updating between your computer and the app on your iPhone) can normally be accessed through an icon on the Mac's status menu bar. However, there's a limitation or accessibility bug in the present API procedures that doesn't give VoiceOver access to these. For a few applications, like DropBox and JustNotes, using the window chooser menu (VO+F2 twice) will bring these up in the menu as "untitled". And if you select "untitled" you will be routed to the application as though you had navigated to the icon on the status menu bar. So if you install DropBox on your Mac and are using it to share files, you'll need to use the window chooser menu to navigate to this. Another point of confusion is that each of these app entries gets labeled as "untitled" in the window chooser menu, so I'm happy that I can use NotationalVelocity instead of the JustNotes beta to update notes from my computer to the Simplenote app on my iPod Touch. HTH and was not too confusing. Cheers, Esther On 11 Apr 2010, at 02:09, Jessica and Trish the Golden Dog wrote: I don't know if this is in the kystrokes and I just missed it or what.

I generally learn as I go. so there is a huge chance you all knew this before me. And it may be in every applicaiton with extra window support such as terminal and the like.

Re: help with scanning in abby finereader
Hi Jim, I have also bought abby finereader but I am still waiting for me scanner : canon 700f lied... I have no experiences so far with scanning on mac osx with abby fine reader... As I understand well, you have a automator script that looks for the scanned image and start to och that? If you can give it privately or on the list this would be nice... The filenames of the scanned pages should have a fixt name so that automator can find them or is it based on alocation? also, after the ocr-proces, has converted the scanned pages , the tekst is directly showed on this screen?

Re: NLS DTB players, usb flash drives, formating on a mac, cartrage errors Help?
hey. the datatraveler. I have a 4 gig one. and with average material you can get 40 plus books/magazines on it. With smaller books you will get more books on it and with larger books less. For me the 4 gig is great. For others who want more space they may want an 8 gig. I cannot answer the formatting issue though. I format this one on my mac and it does fine formatting it via the ms dos fat formatting. So not sure what is going on there. And I also insert my usb thumb drive into the cartridge slot. Although it is small and hard to get in there. But I hate it sticking out of the side of the machine. I just be as gentle as possible until it slides in as easy as anything and then I keep it there until I wish to add another book/magazine to it. Personally I think a 4 gig kingston is fine. Because really when you have 42 books on there. or moree or less it can get tedious going from book to book really. so for me my opinion is the less books the better. But I know certain people would disagree with me on that. It also takes quite a while to load up the drive if you have a ton on it. so I personally think 4 gig is best. And cheapest really. If you want more you can always get another 4 gig drive. If you have a ton of books on the thing it can take a while to load them up. If you just have 14 to 20 it is very quick. So personally I would say definitely stay 4 gig or lower. I think personally that 1 and 1 gig are to small. at least with 4 you have room to put an entire series maybe. Depending on how big the files are. Jessica -- Email services provided by the System Access Mobile Network.

Re: extra voices
Well, it's a bit unusual. You see, they don't actually sell the voices, per se. They do, however, offer a software developers' toolkit for that price and that includes all of the voices. I think there are something like 27 voices, if I remember correctly. The idea is, if you were to develop software, the voices could be packaged with the program as in the case with something like Kurzweil 1000. Thing is, there's nothing to stop you from simply buying the SDK, installing the voices on your system and never actually developing any software. This was pointed out to me by aT&T themselves. Anyway, I haven't really heard the voices but they're supposed to be pretty good. One thing to consider, though, is that, while they're OS X compatible, that doesn't necessarily mean they'd work well with VoiceOver. It would be interesting to find out but I don't think there's any trial version. On Apr 11, 2010, at 11:39 AM, Mary Otten wrote: > Wow! $300 for voices from AT&T> Has anybody heard them?

Re: extra voices
Hi, The Cepstral voices are not stable at all. Though they are listed as compatible, they crash a lot, and are extremely sluggish. I personally don't think they are that good or clear, but then, I am picky. When it comes to AT&T, I have not yet purchased them. Though, just from what I can tell from samples and games utilizing this engine, not to mention trying them on the Windows side is that, while they sound clear, they seem to sound quite robotic. Their inflection goes all over the place. I'd recommend Infovox iVox from http://www.assistiveware.com They sound clear, and I have only heard them sound anywhere to just slightly robotic one time. They are extremely responsive, as if they were voices built into Mac OS X, such as Alex.. I, personally, still prefer Alex as my number one voice on the Mac for sure, but Peter from Infovox definitely is a close second.

Re: help with scanning in abby finereader
Hi William! I'm not sure if I still have the workflow. I'll check. Its not readily available but might have backed it up. Not using abbyy at the moment. When you use abbyy it asks you for a file to recognize and I just had the workflow save the image as a certain file name and then have abbyy recognize. I believe there is a bertter way to do it abut that was my 10 minute fix for scanning and having it be as close to k1000 as possible I'll see if I can find or recreate the workflow.

iPhone Recording Apps for Voice and Music [was Re: Voice Memos App]
Hi Karen, I'll interleave answers after your questions. All instances that refer to "double tap" can also use a split tap (where you touch a button or field on the iPhone with one finger and tap with another finger elsewhere on the screen). Alternatively, you could try the Voxie Pro Recorder app ($1.99) for expanded capabilities over the Voice Memos app (e.g., an Express mode where you shake your iPhone to start and stop recordings, selectable recording quality, ability to transfer recordings too large to email without having to connect and sync your iPhone to your computer, add other label categories for your memos and organize them by categories, etc.) Finally, I'll mention some potentially professional recording/playback apps and hardware solutions. Since this is a lengthy post, people who are only interested in the use of Voice Memos can read the answers at the beginning and skip the rest of the post. I'm also sending this to macvisionaries and the vimac-audio groups. Karen Poulakos wrote: I have a few questions about the voice memos app that comes installed on the IPhone. 1. Is there a limit to the length of time for a memo? There's a limit to the maximum size of files that can be emailed from the Voice Memos app. From reading elsewhere on the web, it's about 8 minutes. You can record longer memos, but you'll have to connect your iPhone to your computer and sync it to transfer the files to iTunes, where they'll show up in a Voice Memos playlist. 2. Is there a way of labeling the memos? Yes, to label memos: 1. Double tap the "Show Recordings Button" at the bottom right of the screen for a list of recordings, ordered by date. 2. Run your finger down the list to select a memo, then flick right to the "More Info" button and double tap. 3. On the "Info" page, double tap your memo entry to add a label 4. On the "Label" page, double tap the category to add a Label (or leave the selection checked as "None"). There's also a "Custom" option at the bottom of the page that will bring up a virtual keyboard and allow you to type in your own label. Double tap the "Done" button at the bottom right of the keyboard, and you're finished with labeling. 3. What is the best way to stop Vo from speaking while recording a message? To stop VO from speaking, mute speech with a three finger double tap. Then use a two finger double tap to start/stop the recording. You'll hear a single tone when the recording starts, and a double tone when it ends. Unmute speech again with a three finger double tap. There might even be a better way to accomplish what I am thinking about trying. I have just begun taking harp lessons. While I was practicing yesterday, it occurred to me that possibly my teacher could record the pieces she would like me to practice on my IPhone, rather than using a tape recorder. Since I'm just beginning, they're not very long. I tried playing a few notes into the phone, and it picked up pretty well. Any suggestions? An alternative to having to mute/unmute speech for the controls is to get Voxie Pro Recorder and configure its settings to use Express mode (shake the iPhone or iPod Touch to start and stop recordings -- you'll hear a rising or falling pitch chime as a signal). I'll give the link to the app, and to a few posts about using Voxie that were archived on the macvisionaries list. Note that this app also has a text transcription service that can be purchased as a monthly add-on. Most of the low ratings are from people who expected transcription to be free. • Voxie Pro Recorder, Twitter, Dictation, Transcription, and Voice-to- SMS ($1.99) by Bottle Rocket http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/voxie-pro-recorder-twitter/id294895817?mt=8 • Tips for Using the Voxie Pro app for Recording on the iPhone/iPod Touch: http://www.mail-archive.com/macvisionaries%40googlegroups.com/msg14822.html • Re: Tips for Using the Voxie Pro app for Recording on the iPhone/ iPod Touch: http://www.mail-archive.com/macvisionaries%40googlegroups.com/msg14841.html • Voxie Pro Recorder - how to delete recordings: http://www.mail-archive.com/macvisionaries%40googlegroups.com/msg15111.html One limitation of using the Voice Memos (or Voxie Pro Recorder) for music recording is that there's only 16 bit support through the headphone jack, but that still might be enough for your purposes. To record higher quality music in stereo, you need to use a microphone that attaches to the dock connector port of your iPhone. Some of these can be quite pricey, but the new Blue Mikey 2 recorder ($99 list, available from Sweetwater) seems to be an interesting option that reviewed well in the recent version 2 release. (Note that if you check most sources, like Amazon, they'll still be selling the original Blue Mikey recorder, which costs less, but which may have some issues in how well it stays connected to the iPhone

Before I tried downloading an NLSdtb, The Tech person at the Talking Book Library [phoenix, Arizona] told me first how to upgrade the thumb drive [he recommends only using no more than a 2 gigabyte as it can take a 4 gigabyte max but the dtbm has to work much harder to mount it; and, he said not to use more than a 4 gigabyte. You may want to talk to the Tech person from the local Talking Book Library or the one who mails you your books for how to download the Mac Upgrade. I have forgot how to do it. I prefer the Kingston Data Traveler always but have used a Duracell 2 gigabyte without problems and Sandisk 2 gigabyte thumb drive without problems. I always delete the books from the drive, empty the Mac's trash, then remove the drive if I do not want to listen to them again. Never any problems. BTW, the dtbm is PC formatted with an older version Windows. My only problem is that if I have more than 2 books on the drive, the dtbm will not let me choose other than the first one.

Re: NLS DTB players, usb flash drives, formating on a mac, cartrage errors Help?
It works!!! Thankfully I didn't reformat my 2GB drive and was able to mount it and empty the trash. So I have one thumb drive that works. Our library said the same thing, the smaller gb the better chance it has of working. It had never even crossed my mind to empty the trash but it is good to know it works. Happy days for sure, now I don't have to scramble for a windows computer. LOL Was going to walk my aunt through formatting the 4GB on her windows computer... She's in her sixties and claims to be stupid in regards to computers. LOL She's not stupid, but computers are kind of a new thing for her I'm guessing. LOL She said when she hears the word computer she has stress. Now I don't have to stress her.

multi select list boxes in safari
Hi all, I've come across a webpage which has raised an interesting issue for me. Is there a way to use multi-select list boxes using VO and Safari? For those who haven't come across these, they are a form of UI element in which the user can select either a contiguous group of elements or indeed a non-continuous series. An example might be in a web site in which you wished to look at apartments to rent, using one of these UI elements you could select the areas you wished to look in. I haven't encountered one of these form controls very much but seeing it used has made me wonder how VO users have found them.

Re: NLS DTB players, usb flash drives, formating on a mac, cartrage errors Help?
Well as some people said the library people said no more than 4 gigs. I think you can do more than that. But I would not go up to 8 gigs of content. Besides who wants to arrow left and right through a hundred plus books? To bring up the book list you press and hold down the play key till it says bookshelf. then depending on the player I don't know what you do with the standard. with the advanced you hit the previous or next buttons till you get the book you want and then hit play. I usually have to hit play twice for some reason. Maybe because I don't wait till it has finished reading the title. Hope this helps answer the questions some of you were asking.

Re: extra voices
Hi Mary, I have the Alyona Russian voice from Infovox on my Mac. You can try out this voice, and other languages at the Assistiveware voice samples page: http://www.assistiveware.com/ivoxsamples.php The actual purchasing process is a little complicated, since in the U.S., and for North and South America in general, I think, the agent is Origin Instruments in Texas, and you're directed to their web pages. They sell all the voices and bundles that Assistiveware offers, but they only list a few of these. In fact, Russian only got added to the menu after I purchased the voice from them when it first came out. The other thing is that the bundles get progressively cheaper as you buy more voices, even when you don't buy them all at once but just as add-ons, and there are options like household licenses that allow you to use the voices you purchase on multiple computers, too. Here's a link to an archived post that outlines some of this: http://www.mail-archive.com/macvisionaries%40googlegroups.com/msg05312.html (Summary Information on Heather and other Infovox voice purchase options from U.S.) There are also discussions more recently that you can find in the Archives -- most notably some post exchanges from the Fall when Donna was asking about buying voices. The AT&T SDK has been around for ages -- like nearly as long as this list has been in existence. I'm surprised there isn't something else commercially available, but I haven't seen it. The Cepstral voices had the same problems of making VoiceOver unstable when they were first introduced (way back in Tiger). They generally fix this, but they're unstable again under Snow Leopard. The other voices I've tried are by Cereproc in the U.K. I liked the accents (Scottish voices with accents from the Edinburgh end of the country), but they made my VoiceOver crash. Even weirder, when I tried using the "say" command to script time, etc. in Terminal, they'd fill the Terminal windows with weird characters. HTH Cheers, Esther Mary Otten wrote: Wow! $300 for voices from AT&T> Has anybody heard them? How many are there for that price? Are they multiple languages? I've never seen reference to anything like that in hunting for voices. I'm always on the look out for quality voices inespecially in Russian. mary -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "MacVisionaries" group.

RE: NLS DTB players, usb flash drives, formating on a mac, cartrage errors Help?
JG, In response to your question about accessing more than the first book on the drive, I wasn't sure if you had the problem with just two books on the drive or only when more than 2 books were on the drive. When I tried putting 2 books on my drive, I could only access the first one and checked with my library. I had received the standard model and it would only recognize one book from the drive. After loading the latest version 2.1.3 dated November, it worked just like Jessica described. Hold down the play button and it will take you to the bookshelf. So, it all depends on whether your DBTM was shipped before this upgrade. Here is the NLS web site to upgrade your player if necessary. http://www.loc.gov/nls/DTBM/index.html#top HTH Linda -Original Message- From: macvisionaries@googlegroups.com [mailto:macvisionar...@googlegroups.com] On Behalf Of Joan Alice Maria Gibson, Esquire Sent: Sunday, April 11, 2010 4:06 PM To: macvisionaries@googlegroups.com Subject: Re: NLS DTB players, usb flash drives, formating on a mac, cartrage errors Help?

Re: NLS DTB players, usb flash drives, formating on a mac, cartrage errors Help?
Hi there, I don't know anything about windows formating, but I do about the NLS player. I use 4 gjig thumbn drives without any problems. I insert them in the same slot as the regular cartridges go. This way they are protected; a little more difficult to get them in and out but a lot safer. According to NLS, larger thumb drives will give you a problem. I bought a three pack at Costco for around 30 dollars. I was sure hoping for an I Phone daisy NLS app but I don't think it will ever happen.

Re: NLS DTB players, usb flash drives, formating on a mac, cartrage errors Help?
I'm using a 16 gig drive and I think you can use up to a 32 gig drive, but that might get rather cumbersome if you got too much on it. On Apr 11, 2010, at 6:48 PM, M.

Re: iPad help.
Call me stupid, but I am not really sure what your question is and I am at a disadvantage as I don't use vo on a regular basis. In iBook if you tap at the top of a page I'm told that the entire will be read. The vo will read paragraphs one at a time. The iPad is neat but it will take you a little time to get acclimated. Will assist in whatever fashion I can. Good luck with your new device. Sent from my iPad On Apr 11, 2010, at 3:08 PM, Jesse Bollinger wrote: > Hi all, > > I just got my iPad today.

Re: iPad help.
Hi Jesse, VoiceOver has a set of new gestures for moving through sections, with four finger flicks. In iBooks, you should have been able to read continuously. I remember that I could also set the rotor to read line by line. There was a page control at the bottom of each page that would let you jump to an arbitrary page. You touched this, then set the rotor so you could change the value, and flicked to change the page value. I think I also did a pass-through double tap and hold, then dragged the position to do a large page jump. Sorry not to be more helpful, but I only got to play with the iPad twice for short times in the Apple Store last week. As a suggestion, download the iPad Manual from: http://manuals.info.apple.com/en_US/iPad_User_Guide.pdf and read Chapter 16 on Accessibility (pp. 105-115). I'll paste in the part about gestures. The first part about Navigate and Read has the new gestures: Here’s a summary of VoiceOver gestures: Navigate and Read • Tap: Speak item. • Flick right or left: Select the next or previous item. • Flick up or down: The effect varies depending on the Rotor Control setting. See “Using VoiceOver” on page 110. • Two-finger tap: Stop speaking the current item. • Two-finger flick up: Read all, from the top of the screen. • Two-finger flick down: Read all, from the current position. • Three-finger flick up or down: Scroll one page at a time. • Three-finger flick right or left: Go to the next or previous page (such as the Home screen or Safari). • Three-finger tap: Speak the scroll status (which page or rows are visible). • Four-finger flick up or down: Go to the first or last element on a page. • Four-finger flick right or left: Go to the next or previous section (for example, on a webpage). Select and Activate • Double-tap: Activate selected item. • Touch an item with one finger, tap the screen with another finger (“split-tapping”): Activate item. • Double-tap and hold (1 second) + standard gesture: Use a standard gesture. The double-tap and hold gesture tells iPad to interpret the subsequent gesture as standard. For example, you can double-tap and hold, and then without lifting your finger, drag your finger to slide a switch. You can use standard gestures when VoiceOver is turned on, by double-tapping and holding your finger on the screen. A series of tones indicates that normal gestures are in force. They remain in effect until you lift your finger, then VoiceOver gestures resume. • Two-finger double tap: Play or pause in iPod, YouTube, Voice Memos, or Photos. Start or pause recording in Voice Memos. Start or stop the stopwatch. • Three-finger double tap: Mute or unmute VoiceOver. • Three-finger triple tap: Turn the display on or off.

Re: NLS DTB players, usb flash drives, formating on a mac, cartrage errors Help?
Here's my trick for sticking flash drives down the front of the dtbm. Get drives that have a cap that has a hole that you can put a will one of those straps around your neck. I just get one of the thinner hair ties and thread it through the hole on the cap of the flash drive. Some drives have a cap that flips around and it is always attached but the 2gb I have the cap is removible or it was until I taped it to the body of the flash drive. You have to fish around and poke a bit to get the drive to go into the slot but it isn't bad. When you want to remove it just pull on the hair tie and there you are. COuld use the port on the side but I dislike the drive sticking way out to the side... HTH. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "MacVisionaries" group.

Re: extra voices
Hi Esther, Yes, I bought the Aliona russian voice just after I bought my Mac. I'd like a male voice. I've heard one from another company, I think its a capella but it might be Loquendo, I can't remember, that is the best one I've ever heard, but its not available for use on a mac or with a Windows screen reader either. The Aliona voice is pretty good, certainly better than what I've used in the past. Mary -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "MacVisionaries" group.
