Hi,

Well, I was just kidding, but if you're going to send me one, that's fine. :)

I live in Denmark. According to Danish Mac forums, we won't have them until at 
least May, possibly even June. I have a feeling that is why some language 
keyboards are not supported yet. It's kind of crappy. I've heard so many good 
things about it, and I wanna see it.

Re: iPad help.

Hi,

I can, actually. You cannot believe the wave of sadness that hit me when I 
found we weren't getting it yet. I even checked off the date in iCal. 
Celebrating with style became more of a desperate cry for help. And I'm 
overdramatizing.

scan using image capture

2010-04-12 Thread william lomas
hi all for those using OCR like finereader, you don't need 
vuscan. Just use image capture in applications and send the resulting file to 
the OCR program then after a scan it will autoopen the file and you can convert 
to text from there.
It works great with my canon so install scangear if you have this type of 
scanner for example but the rest is seamless.

Re: Safari won't let me go to Ebay?

2010-04-12 Thread Nicolai Svendsen
Hi,

Instead of remembering tons of URLs, why not just use Webkit? Webkit has fixed 
this issue a long time ago, including a lot of other ones that crashes the 
regular SAfari. Webkit is essentially the same, except the framework Safari 
uses is more up-to-date than the one Apple currently has in the present Safari 
version. In fact, you won't even notice it is Webkit, except it will 
occasionally run smoother. It looks just like Safari, because it is. The only 
thing you will notice is an update reminder when a new nightly build for Webkit 
is available, fixing more bugs.

Glad your scanner is now working. Image Capture will not work with all scanners

Colored labels for folders?

2010-04-12 Thread Ricardo Walker
Hello,

I was just looking at some of my folders on my mac with Get Info (command I_, 
and there is something about selecting labels for the folder.  There are 7 
labels or so that are designated by color.  Could someone please explain to me 
what these colored labels mean?  Or, what do they do?

tia

RE: multi select list boxes in safari

2010-04-12 Thread Dónal Fitzpatrick
Hi Nick,

I actually came across it when I was using the back-end to a drupal site I'm
setting up.  Basically I'd set up a taxonomy to categorise content, and
rather than use free-tagging I used a list of 4 elements from which the user
could select any/all.

I've also seen something like this on a site  .myhome.ie but it was a
while ago so I'm not sure if they're using it at the moment.

Re: Colored labels for folders?

2010-04-12 Thread John André Netland
Hi Ricardo,

This is a way to mark your folders with a color. Currently, this is only 
something sighted people can benefit from. When I was sighted myself, I color 
labeled folders in genres, just like you define your music in iTunes in genres. 
Some people classifies their folders by priority, by putting a red label to the 
most important ones, yellow to middle important and green to normal folders. 
Other people use other colors for other categories. 

VoiceOver users could use this info if there was an option to have the color of 
a folder included in the description heard when it is selected, for example 
"Country lyrics, selected red folder", instead of "Country lyrics, selected 
folder".

HOpe this clarifies,
John André

Re: multi select list boxes in safari

2010-04-12 Thread Nicolai Svendsen
Hi,

This is very interesting.

I created my own multi-select listbox, and got some funny results.

I opened it in Safari, and located it on my page. VoiceOver proceeded to read 
all the options in the box without pausing, and did not seem to register it as 
a listbox at all, but rather as a text element. I then hit down arrow, and it 
would say the item name, then "clickable selected".

They seem to work, but you don't know when they are listboxes or not. Also, 
yes, you can select more than one by using regular selection keys.

Nic

iPad Games question.

2010-04-12 Thread Jesse Bollinger

Hi everyone,

This is a much simpler question than the last one I promise Lol. I was 
looking at the accessible apps on the Maccessibility site and found a 
few that puzzle me. The games Kingdoms Live, Racing Live, and Zombie 
Live sound like they'd be extremely visual to me but are listed on the 
site. Just wondering if it is because the screen can be enlarged for low 
vision or do these games indeed work with VO?


Thanks,

What physical size flash card can go into the player.  I mean does it accept
an SD card, a Micro SD card, or a Compact Flash card?

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: IPhone 4, and IAds

2010-04-12 Thread Bryan Smart
Jess, I think that the ads API will actually be a good thing. Charlie has a 
point, even if he delivers it tactlessly. The time that is needed to make 
anything but the most basic apps requires money. The people that make the app 
either get the money back through selling you the app, giving you the app for 
free while charging you a small monthly service fee, or else get that money 
from advertisers. Particularly when making an app is complicated, but not many 
people will be expected to buy it because it is something that they only 
casually use, the only real way to support the programming labor is with ads.

So, I think that lots of developers want to use ads in their apps. You know 
that that could get messy. Ads could become to intrusive, and they would 
certainly look different in every app. The ways that developers try to display 
them might conflict with VoiceOver. Until now, though, Apple hasn't really had 
any strong guidelines about what is acceptable for ads.

I believe that, with this new ads mechanism, since Apple now is offering a 
standard way for an app to display ads, the ads portion of an application will 
be expected to use the standard adds mechanism. A developer's app will usually 
be rejected by the App Store if their app tries to re-implement some existing 
feature of the iPhone/iPad. This is so developers won't go changing the way 
that the interface looks, or trying to substitute areas of the OS that people 
already expect to work a certain way. So, they'll probably make all ads go 
through the new mechanism. Since there will only be one official way of 
displaying ads, I expect that this will cut down on many of the normal 
performance and security problems that people run in to with ads. It also would 
mean that they'd almost always be displayed in the same way, and they'll 
probably be accessible/readable with VO/not conflict with VO. I think that 
location services are part of this, also, so the ads can suggest services that 
are actually local to you.

I actually don't mind ads, if they're useful. If they're advertising something 
nearby, or that is relevant to me and my likes, then they might tell me about 
something that I would actually use. Without the targeting information, they're 
just as likely to try to sell me home refinancing and Viagra. Now, that's 
annoying. lol.

I think that, by forcing everyone to go through a standard service, Apple can 
make the ads better. They wouldn't need to mess up your device, they wouldn't 
need to frustrate you, and they could actually be useful information for you.

Infovox voices licensing/copy protection?

2010-04-12 Thread Bryan Smart
Hi.

I've thought about purchasing these voices, but I haven't been able to discover 
any details about how their licensing/protection works. I looked around the 
site, at their FAQ, and tried e-mailing their support a while back, but 
nothing. There are so many forms of copy protection, and I can deal with some, 
but extremely dislike others. I know that there are people on this list that 
use them, so would someone mind replying and briefly telling me what to expect?

Do they give you a code that matches up with a single computer, so you can 
re-install on that machine as many times as needed?

Do you need to check out and check in machine keys/authorizations/activations 
on their web site somehow?

Do you need to activate online, and call/write/beg for additional activations 
if you re-install (AKA Windows, Jaws, etc)?

Do they give you a code that allows multiple installs on any Macs that you have?

Do they mail you a dongle?

Any info would be appreciated. If I purchase them, and then discover that the 
protection doesn't suit, I'll probably not be able to get a refund, so I'd 
rather know in advance.

Thanks
Bryan

Re: multi select list boxes in safari

2010-04-12 Thread Søren Jensen
Hi all.

The multiselectboxes works in the following way:
Turn off the cursor tracking by pressing VO shift f3, and then you can read the 
choices without selecting them. If you don't stop cursor tracking, you'll 
select each item as you read it. To select an item in the listbox, you simply 
press VO command spacebar, and VO will say "selected." You can then read what 
items you have selected by moving the Vo cursor up and down. Don't turn the 
cursor tracking on until you've pressed the "continue" or what ever button 
which will accept your choice in the listbox.
I only have access to a multiselectlistbox in a mailinglist management system 
where you need to log in, so I can't give you a link so you can check it out.
I really love the way VOiceover work which is the reason for 
multiselectlistboxes works out of the box. I've seen many Windows screenreaders 
having issues with these...

RE: To all software developers, anyone know of a good development software for the Mac?

2010-04-12 Thread Bryan Smart
Hi.

Jess is probably looking for something simple to use for learning programming 
concepts. For that, even Python would do. Python is built-in on the Mac. You 
can write Python scripts in TextEdit, and run them in the terminal.

I wanted to let you, and others, know, though, that developing full desktop 
applications with XCode is accessible. The XCode development environment works 
extremely well with VoiceOver, even the parts that are usually a pain in other 
environments (like the debugger).

Interface Builder, the tool that helps you to create the user interfaces of 
your program through a easy to use visual designer, isn't accessible. However, 
you can use my RenaissanceX system/dev kit to create user interfaces by 
describing what you want in a simple markup file that looks a lot like HTML. 
RenaissanceX will examine your descriptions of the types of controls that you 
need, and how they are related, and will automatically create a window with 
those controls arranged per Apple's User Interface Guidelines.

More info is available at:

http://www.bryansmart.com/renaissancex

This is a work in progress, but it works, right now. It supports nearly all 
Cocoa user interface objects, and it works great with VoiceOver.

The applications will run in the terminal. If you want to learn simple langage

Good workaround. I still think they should be identified correctly, however,

Once they are properly identified, I'm sure it won't be necessary either.

I don't know about that. The quality is excellent, and as someone who needs 
another language, Infovox iVox is the only show in town.

I can't talk about the quality of the American voices, but the British, French 
and Québecoise voices are very good.

For an extra 10 Euros or however many dollars, you can also get GhostReader 
which is a handy little app. It's basically a reader that can also create audio 
files.

Re: iTunes server and iPod touch

2010-04-12 Thread Mitchell Smith

Hi,

You can not add content to your iPod from a network based iTunes server such 
as those used on NAS appliances, iTunes will only support adding content 
from your local library.


The way I have resolved this on my own network is to just store the content 
on a central server, but have the library location pointing to my local hard 
drive.


If you have multiple computers on your network you can use an app such as 
TuneRanger to keep your libraries in sync, so when you add new content to 
your file server and import it in to the local library, the library 
additions are replicated to other computers on the network.


I hope this helps.

Cheers,

Mitch

Subject: RE: To all software developers, anyone know of a good development 
software for the Mac?



Hi.

Jess is probably looking for something simple to use for learning 
programming concepts. For that, even Python would do. Python is built-in on 
the Mac. You can write Python scripts in TextEdit, and run them in the 
terminal.


I wanted to let you, and others, know, though, that developing full desktop 
applications with XCode is accessible. The XCode development environment 
works extremely well with VoiceOver, even the parts that are usually a pain 
in other environments (like the debugger).


Interface Builder, the tool that helps you to create the user interfaces of 
your program through a easy to use visual designer, isn't accessible. 
However, you can use my RenaissanceX system/dev kit to create user 
interfaces by describing what you want in a simple markup file that looks a 
lot like HTML. RenaissanceX will examine your descriptions of the types of 
controls that you need, and how they are related, and will automatically 
create a window with those controls arranged per Apple's User Interface 
Guidelines.


More info is available at:

http://www.bryansmart.com/renaissancex

This is a work in progress, but it works, right now. It supports nearly all 
Cocoa user interface objects, and it works great with VoiceOver.

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.

Good luck
Philippe

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.
Jes

Re: Safari won't let me go to Ebay?

2010-04-12 Thread Nicolai Svendsen
Hi,

If you read further down that page, you will be guided through on how to get  
your normal homepage back.

It is Safari. Webkit is just its underlying framework, and it is being updated 
regularly which is the benefit to using the actual engine.

 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.
 
 Cheers
 
 Dónal
