Re: Is there a folder synchronization utility or software for the mac?

2010-06-22 Thread David Hole

Hi.
I haven't tried that sync toy-thing, but if I understand ye right, 
you'll make it with Dropbox (http://www.dropbox.com/) or Live Mesh 
(http://mesh.live.com/)

Over on my windows PC I used the free program Sync toy to synchronize

amadeus question

2010-06-22 Thread Chris Snyder
Hi fellow Amadeus users,
I have just bought the program, and I managed to record a song with it. It was 
a bit tricky since I had to hand sync the vocal track with the instrumental 
track. The two questions I have are:
1. Is there a way to move between tracks with voiceover in a multi-track 
project?
2. If you select the pass through box in the record dialog, why is there a 
delay on the output?
My first thought was that it had something to do with the sound card in my 
macbook, but I was wondering if anyone else had experienced that.
Over all, I have to say I'm very pleased at how well voiceover handles Amadeus, 
and I'm becoming more and more comfortable using it in stead of Gold Wave.

Friendly,
Chris

Re: iBooks issue on iPod touch and possibly iPhone

2010-06-22 Thread Scott Howell
Hi Esther, I tried this last night and encountered the same issue. I 
double-tapped the "Free" button and when nothing happen, I found a button that 
was labeled something similar to "language English" or something along those 
lines. I double-tapped that button and then was prompted for my iTUnes 
password. So, this appears to be some sort of accessibility issue.
It took me two tries to figure it out, but I must say, very interesting.

Re: amadeus question

2010-06-22 Thread Allison Manzino
Hi Chris,

I'm so excited another Amadeus convert :)  there is a slight delay when 
recording with Amadeus, I have no idea why. It's tricky to get used to. 
Sometimes, I make sure the mic is working correctly and just uncheck the play 
through box before I record a vocal. Yes, there is a way to move between tracks 
and mix etc. You have given me more incentive to do a podcast on it. I will 
provide the link to the list when it's done, as a reference. I'm learning right 
along with everyone else, so it's not going to be a definitive podcast.,  Aside 
from Erik Caron's podcast on Blind Cool Tech, all the things I've learned about 
Amadeus have been trial and error. To move between tracks, press VO shift down 
arrow and interact with the scroll area. It will take you to the track name 
where you can type in a name, and then if you VO right arrow the volume slider, 
etc. I hope that helps. Have a great day!

Hello Allison,

I don't think anything has changed in Pages recently as I use it all the time 
for my translations.

You have to interact with the Layout Area, and then with the Page, and finally 
with the Header, Body or Footer.

Spell checking has to be done with Command-; (semicolon) as the VO spell check 
command doesn't work with Pages.

Cheers,

Anne

Update in Amadeus

2010-06-22 Thread Allison Manzino
Hi all,

I just installed the new update to Amadeus and oh brother is all I have to say. 
It changes the rewind/fastforward functions. I thought that it was just right 
and left arrow to fastforward and rewind, but now the keystroke has changed. In 
doing my Amadeus podcast which should be up in a few moments, I discovered the 
key combination to rewind is option left arrow, to fastforward is option right 
arrow. For those of you that know how to mark start and end points, this 
command may be familiar to you as the go to previous and next markers. It still 
works for this purpose as long as you stop the audio before using it for the 
marker function. Have a great day, everyone. THank you to everyone for the help.

sig not working

2010-06-22 Thread clarence griffin
I created a signature in Mail, and when I try to select it, It doesn't show up.
I see it when I go in to the area where you create and delete them, and I even 
deleted it and started over, still nothing.
Any ideas?
Thanks

Re: last fm on the mac?

2010-06-22 Thread Pete Nalda
It seems accessible, I did have some trouble logging in at first, causing 
safari to crash, but then I got back up and running, logged in, and played my 
library.  I don't know what all the iTunes/iPod functions do, so I've ignored 
all those for now.

The iPhone and iPod Touch are now real note taking devices!

2010-06-22 Thread Doug Lawlor
Hey, this is cool!
I now have my Apple Wireless keyboard paired with the iPhone and the nice thing 
about it is that you can use things like up and down arrow keys to navigate 
through a document. It is really nice to be able to touch type from a real 
keyboard. Now, does anyone know of a foldable keyboard that can fold up to 
pocket size? I know that a company called Think Outside made something at one 
time but they have appeared to have moved on to other things now. 

Anyway, it is really nice that we can now use a bluetooth keyboard with the 
iPhone and iPod Touch. I must say this really expands the note taking abilities 
of these devices. I can now put together a blind person's note taking solution 
for something around ?$400.00 cdn. This is truly a real breakthrough.

Re: The iPhone and iPod Touch are now real note taking devices!

I hope some 3rd party develops a fold out keyboard / iphone case just like the 
old classic Nokia Communicator, the case could also have a juice pack built in 
too now that would be very cool,  I already have a juice pack that my iPhone 
slides into, it makes the iPhone 3GS a bit heavier and thicker but feels much 
better in my big hands.

Have a question on selecting multiple item and navigating by form field and text

2010-06-22 Thread Alfredo
I am going through the online tutorial with voice over and am hitting
some bumps in the way.
1.  Can you navigate the web by form field like in jaws?  In jaws you
just clicked the “f” key and you would land on a form field, such as
an edit box, radio button, or button.
2.  Is there a way to navigate text element by text element, sometimes
it would be useful just to get to the text section of a webpage,
especially ones that contain many links.  Is there a hot key to
navigate text element by text element on the web?
3.  I was reading the select multiple items section and tried it on
the Voice over utilities, VO + F8, and went into his web section, and
went to the web rotor popup menu.  I wanted to select multiple items
or deselect multiple items but I could not.  Plus VO does not tell you
if the checkbox on the popup menu is on or off, even when I pressed VO
+ f8.  Can anyone shine a light on this?  I can live with having to
close the menu for every selected Item I want but it would be more
convenient to just select all items I want then close the popup
menu.
4.  Is there a way to set up multiple tabs upon starting safari?  I
had multiple tabs for my internet explorer on windows since this way I
have quick access to my bank account webpage, phone bill web page,
Google search, Gmail, NFL website, book share, and others.  Does
anyone know how to do this?
6.  Is there a way to activate a link from within the web item rotor?
Like for example, instead of just going to the link selected from the
web item rotor can I activate that link so that the web page will load
up auto magically?  This would save me on more steps in selecting the
link.  If there is no way to do this, then I will send an email to
apple suggesting that they add this feature.  The can do like, if you
press the control key while selecting a link on the web item rotor you
will activate the like not only go to it.
Any help would be greatly appreciated; the Mac experience is going
good so far

Re: The iPhone and iPod Touch are now real note taking devices!

2010-06-22 Thread Doug Lawlor
A case with some kind of a fold out keyboard would be interesting. I think the 
ideal solution for me would be some kind of a pocket sized fold out keyboard. 
That is the buty of a note taking solution that the apple i-devices would 
provide. You now have the ability to connect what ever input device you desire.

Re: The iPhone and iPod Touch are now real note taking devices!

2010-06-22 Thread Mary Otten
I think I remember seeing that Iwork was going to become available for the Ipod 
and IPhone this summer. In the mean time, if you wanted to use the Ipod as a 
serious notetaking device, is there something that you can take notes in and 
then later get those notes onto a pc or a mac? In my case, preferably a pc, 
since I'm still using MS Word and a braille embosser when needed. 

I recall something about velocity something or other being mentioned a while 
back, but was that for Mac only?

Is the form item in the rota not efficient enough for you? (you can create a 
short cut to toggle between DOM and group mode)
as for text elements , have you tried surfing in grouping mode?when you mention 
tabs, do you mean they are automatically open with the web pages loaded of your

might develop an add on.  for now you will have to press command + T for a new

Re: The iPhone and iPod Touch are now real note taking devices!

2010-06-22 Thread Chris Moore
can you not get drop box for the iphone? surely that would be a way to export 
data back to your PC or Mac, or you could simply create email attachments (a 
pain I know).  As I have MobileMe I take advantage of iDisk which comes part of 
the package.  It is a shame iwork.com is not bundled with the mobileme suite, 
it would make it even more value for money.  Pages for the iphone would be very 
useful indeed, even for reading word files.  Keynote would be very useful too 
so  enabling the smallest presentation device to plug directly into an OHP.

H I think I want to try iWork on the iPad now.  I still don't have it for 
my mac yet but I really must invest as I can no longer use Office and I don't 
think OpenOffice has been updated for a while.

tip: how I delete podcasts from the ipod app

2010-06-22 Thread Sarah Alawami
Ok all. Here is my method of deleting podcasts on the iphone. Not sure where 
else this works in the ipod app but yeah.

1. from within the ipod app navigate to the podcast  button and double tap.

2. Now browse to the podcast such as  market place, or car talk for example.

3. find the episode you want to delete, double tap and hold then swipe very 
slowly to the right. it should take you no more then 2 seconds to do this. Now 
check and it should say confirm deletion of xxx where xxx is your 
episode name.

4. double tap that episode and it is gone.

Hope this helps.

If you don't mind the command line, rsync might do what you want. It 
will synchronize files between two folders. In terminal you can do a 
'man rsync' without the quotes to get details or just google rsync. It's 
a unix utility and not specific to the Mac.

sighted assistance, companies such as Freedom Scientific would then be
forced to either go with the trend; otherwise, they would lose their
economic dolars; after all, isn't that what competition for tax
dollars and marketshare is all about?  In my humble opinion, for what
it's worth, the only reason Freedom Scientific survives in the market
is because they have contracted with some state agencies and
government entities, and we bare the brunt of the expense ineirectly.
I paid less for my car than I have for braille displays costing $8000
to $12,000 dollars at a time.  In Alaska, for example, the biggest
majority of vision loss occurs in the elderly population and baby
boomers who are about to reach retirement age.  We have no school for
the blind in Alaska; therefore, if parents want to send their blind
kids off to a residential school, they would have to send them
Stateside, which costs the state thousands of dollars which they could
probably find other revenues to use elsewhere.There are a handful of
us who are blind and visually-impaired Macusers, but that numberis
increasing, as the word about VoiceOver gets out.  Richie Gardenhire,

of them to make it worth their while.  There  is a cell phone put out
by Capital Accessibility in Europe.  I've seen one and it's no big
deal.  The speech is great, but there is no camera, digital screen, or
anything that might ad a bit of a price to the phone.  It's built like
a brick, but it is over $500 and though the speech is clear, it's very
robotic.  Tell me that's not ridiculous?  I don't know that agencies
are responsible for this one, but the phone is so tailored to our
needs that somebody will buy it.  Not me.  Granted, if more people
were learning braille and speech software as they were dealing with
macular degeneration, and there was a big enough demand for it, things
might come down a bit.  That's great about the scanner.  I'd better
stop typing now as I am misspelling more things than I am typing

With all due respect, that argument has been used time and time
again.  To that, I say this: the best example of a product that has
gone down in price because of the acceptance of it by the sighted
community, is the optical scanner, which was originally intended for
use by the blind for scanning newspapers, magazines, and othr
documents in their computers or reading machines.  Back then, you had
to pay thousands of dolars for the machine, and ys, state agencies
bought it for us, if we were lucky.  Now, one can buy a scanner and to
a certain extent, software for scanning pictures, text, and other
document forms into one's PC, at a fraction of the cost it was in the
1970's.  The point here is that it found a marketable niche among the
sighted community, and once they were mass-produced, prices started
coming down and people could afford said scanners.  While braille
displays are another issue, there are companies who are working to
make even displays more affordable and accepting to the universal
design market.  In the 1980's, Apple tried an experiment, using an
ordinary, dot matrix printer, to produce braille.  It wasn't the best
quality braille, but it was an experiment that, had it been popular,
might have flown.  Richie Gardenhi

Safari Update

2010-06-22 Thread rayna424
Hey all,

Haven't had any problems, so haven't needed to post. I searched to see
how ya'll were feeling about the latest Safari update, and it seems
I'm not alone. Safari keeps freaking out when I navigate by headers on
certain sites, and it's really freaking out with Blogger now. When I
interact with text, I can't use command up arrow and down arrow to get
from top to bottom, and when I'm interacting, it won't let me go line
by line in a text edit field. So the only way to edit is to go word by
word. Also, when I click the "select all" link for labels, Safari dies
and I have to restart it. Every time. So I don't do that anymore and
I've started composing blogs in text edit.

This takes me back to being afraid to install Windows updates. I'm
still using Leopard. Is anyone having problems with the latest Safari
in Snow?

Just had to complain. I send the error reports to Apple every time
since at least with Apple, I have faith that they are listening.

Thanks!

Re: Is there a folder synchronization utility or software for the mac?

2010-06-22 Thread Alfredo
Thanks for the RSync utility suggestion.  I do not mind the command
line, I just hope that it does something similar to what sync toy did,
which just copied new files from the left folder to the right folder.
This allowed me to keep all podcast on my computer in case I need them
on a later date and just be able to sync those podcast which I have
not listen to.  About the ITunes, i cannot use this since I will be
suing the booksense not an ipod, or itouch and i think you stated that
itunes only synchronizes with apple products.  Tahnks anyway, and
thanks to all. I will search for the rest of the information online,
unless someone has a suggestion that does not require the command
line.

video recording and editing software?

2010-06-22 Thread Chris Snyder
Hi all,
Does anyone know of software which is mostly accessible with Voiceover which 
can record audio and video from the eyesight camera, or perhaps record a video 
chat in skype? Also, is there anything that can edit the recording once made? I 
figure we can edit videos as well from the audio cues. It may not look like 
Pixar, but if we simply had a way to cut and paste, it would be helpful.

Friendly,
Chris

Re: Have a question on selecting multiple item and navigating by form field and text

2010-06-22 Thread Alfredo
Tje rotor utility is not efficient enough for me, I hate to make a
comparison but with jaws I get to a text edit field, like the google
webpage one, automatically or by pressing the f key.  With voice over
in safari, when I go to the google webpage I have to use the VO keys
along with the right arrow key several times, about 4 or 5, to get to
the text edit field.  The safari way requires more key strokes, if I
could remove key strokes then better.  I could use the web item rotor
and the fo to forms, and then the text edit field but I think this
requires the same number of keystrokes.  Maybe as I get used to the
mac I will get better and be able to find a wayt o do this.  I will
try grouping mode to see if this helps.  Should the voice over cursor
be focus on the google search field when i load the google web page?
It does on other pages, like the gmail web page.  Maybe if I turn off
automatic speaking of webpages when they load.  Thank for clarifying
the thing about the multiple tabs, I search online, on google, and
only found one solution for this, and i think it was becuase of safari
5 extensions, whcih I currently do not have.  With everyone saying
that it caused them trouble I will stay away from it for another month
or so.  Thanks again for the response.

Re: fastforwarding in new Itunes

2010-06-22 Thread Esther

Hi Allison,

Try Command-Option Right and Left arrow instead to fast forward or  
rewind within a track. At least, that works for me now after some  
experimentation, and seems to move in about 5 second chunks for each  
tap of the right or left arrow with the Command and Option keys held  
down.  Weird change.


HTH.  Cheers,

Esther

Re: Have a question on selecting multiple item and navigating by form field and text

2010-06-22 Thread Mary Otten
When I go to the google search page, which is my home page, I always land right 
in the edit field into which one types search terms. So I think you might be 
onto something with your theory that having Safari set to read pages 
automatically could be causing the VO cursor not to land directly in that edit 
field. As for the other things, not being able to hit a specific key and go 
directly to various types of elements, having come from Windows, I still have 
to say I prefer that more direct way over the rotor. But you can set up numpad 
commander to have single key access to things, so that helps. Web pages also 
load a lot faster on my Mac than they do on my Windows pc, some times, a lot 
faster, which is a time saver.

braille display key assignments

2010-06-22 Thread Mary Otten
Hi all,
For those of you using braille displays, I'm curious whether it has been 
standard operating procedure for Apple to provide key assignments for the 
various keys on supported displays. I got the idea this info was available if 
one has a display hooked up, which I don't yet have. I ask because the upgrade 
to ios4 has added braille support, with a number of displays apparently 
supported. I know its early days yet for this, so its possible that the key 
assignments for supported displays will be available in the updated support 
documentation. thus far, people are having to go to voice over gestures and try 
different combinations to figure out what the keys on their display will do. 
Beats a blank, as they say. but I would hope that the practice will be to have 
key assignments listed in the relevant support docs once they become available.

Yes turn auto reading off and your voice over cursor should then appear where 
keyboard is.  I used to have this problem too and after turning auto web page 
reading upon a page loading my cursor is ready and waiting in the google text 
field (google is my home page too).

I have not come across text elements yet, but start training on JAWS soon so it 
will be interesting to see how it compares.  Do you think they might add this 
feature to VoiceOver or is it not needed?

Re: braille display key assignments

Well they're not listed for the displays supported on the mac either so i 
doubt they'll bother to list them for the Iphone. It's very easy when 
they're intuitive as they were on the konny. But where there's a conflict as 
on the Apex or on the Focus 40 Blue where i've pressed everything but can't 
account for some gestures, it's a bit of a pain. You can always figure out 
how to move by item and select things.

VoiceOver and Apple Script

2010-06-22 Thread Fonzie
Hey all, I hope everyone is well.

Been  a while since I have posted to the list.

Anywho, a friend of mine recently got a mac, and he go the new mac, with the 
wireless keyboard and mouse.

Everything was set up fine, but when I told him he could get the time by using 
Option + T while voiceover was running, the command did not work.

I made sure to have him check the "Allow VoiceOver to be controlled by 
AppleScript" in the VoiceOver Utility, but still no dice.

Any idea as to why this is not working as it should?

I know it iis an apple script, but as I remember it, when I loaded Snow 
Leopard, my scripts worked out of the box.

Help is appreciated if you have experienced this issue before, or have some 
general direction of what I could have him do.

Thanks.

Take care.

Re: amadeus question

2010-06-22 Thread Chris Snyder
Hi Allison and Sarah,
Thanks very much for your help. Your tips really helped me take off, and now I 
feel fairly confident with multi-track navigation. I guess the question I must 
figure out now is how to reliably play both tracks at the same time, and how to 
play separately. From what I've been able to determine, it's kind of a gamble 
as to which will occur. Still, this is a remarkable breakthrough. A multi-track 
editor which doesn't cost hundreds or thousands of dollars that's accessible. 
Oh, and the free VST effects that the guy has on his site are accessible as 
well and very cool. The reverb is rather impressive. I've worked with waves 
reverb in both PT and Goldwave, and I think these reverbs are very good indeed.

Friendly,
Chris

Re: Have a question on selecting multiple item and navigating by form field and text

2010-06-22 Thread Chris Snyder
Alfredo,
I only need a couple of key strokes to get to the search box in google.
First, you should know that my quick nav is on. So when safari loads the page, 
I first use my up and right arrows to select forms in the web rotor. Then I hit 
the down arrow. The first place I land is the search box. I Then can type what 
I want and hit enter or go down arrow again to the search or I'm feeling lucky 
buttons.
Having been a jaws user for a number of years, I do understand the convenience 
of simply hitting the f key and landing on your form field, but thing about 
this. With quick nav, you may navigate the web one-handed as any sighted person 
can do with a mouse. I find that highly liberating as I feel it requires less 
effort on my part.

Subject: VoiceOver and Apple Script


Hey all, I hope everyone is well.

Been  a while since I have posted to the list.

Anywho, a friend of mine recently got a mac, and he go the new mac, with
the wireless keyboard and mouse.

Everything was set up fine, but when I told him he could get the time by
using Option + T while voiceover was running, the command did not work.

I made sure to have him check the "Allow VoiceOver to be controlled by
AppleScript" in the VoiceOver Utility, but still no dice.

Any idea as to why this is not working as it should?

I know it iis an apple script, but as I remember it, when I loaded Snow
Leopard, my scripts worked out of the box.

Help is appreciated if you have experienced this issue before, or have
some general direction of what I could have him do.

Thanks.

Take care.

Fonzie

Alternatively, shift-VO-k will toggle the keyboard commander. It needs to be on 
for that script to work.

Chinese Input with VoiceOver on the iPhone [was Re: Chinese VO]

2010-06-22 Thread Esther

Hi Alvin,

This is a long post, and I'll cc to the macvisionaries list. I have a  
few suggestions for some admittedly awkward ways to input Chinese text  
on the iPhone now that the language rotor is working in iOS 4.  You  
can either use a translation app or a Chinese dictionary app, and then  
copy the resulting Chinese characters and paste them into a document,  
mail message, or note. I'll describe two different apps you can use  
that are both free, although I'll link the paid "pro" version of  
iTranslate which, for $0.99, will support history, favorites, etc.  
over the free version:

• iTranslate Plus -- the Universal Translate ($0.99) by Sonico GmbH


• KTdict C-E (Chinese-English Dictionary) (free) by Klaus Thul



Both these apps will translate text to either simplified or  
traditional Chinese.  You'll have to use the language rotor to change  
to a Chinese voice so that the English text will be spoken in English  
and the Chinese text will be spoken in Mandarin. Then, what you'll be  
able to do is use the rotor in Edit mode to cut or copy and paste the  
translated text into a notes app or message. I would recommend that  
you use the free Simplenote app from Codality, since you can  
automatically sync these contents to other iPhones, iPod Touches,  
iPads through your account, and also to your computer through a web  
browser with your assigned Simplenote account.  There are even more  
options that I know of for autosyncing to a Mac computer, but I'm  
guessing you're on a PC.  All these apps should work internationally  
-- I even checked that the two linked apps are available in the  
Singapore iTunes App Store.


With iTranslate (or iTranslate Plus) you can type text into the first  
text field in English, then set the translate button to Chinese.  
Here's what I hear if I do a two finger flick up to read all when the  
app launches: "Translate from","English, dimmed","Text Field", "img  
speaker touch, dimmed button", "button underscore switch underscore  
lang", "to", "Chinese Simplified, dimmed", "Text Field", "img action  
touch, dimmed button", "button underscore favorites underscore big",  
"button underscore info underscore big", "Powered by Google".  So this  
is a simple screen with the "translate from" language set in the top  
half of the screen, with its text field, and the "translate to"  
language in the bottom half of the screen, with its text field.  The  
"button underscore switch underscore lang" button at the left edge of  
center allows you to swap the "translate from" and "translate to"  
settings, so that you work with the same language pair, but reverse  
the translating direction by switching the button settings for the top  
and bottom half of the screen. I think the app originally loads with  
the "translate from" language now set to "Detect Language".   Double  
tapping either the "translate from" language of "English" or the  
"translate to" language of "Simplified Chinese" (both announced as  
"dimmed", incidentally) brings up a picker item wheel in the bottom  
half of the screen that lets you change the language by flicking up or  
down.  Once you've chosen your language, you double tap a "Set  
Language" button in the center of the screen, just above the picker  
wheel, to register the selection.  You similarly choose the "translate  
to" language by double tapping its button and using the picker wheel.


Then, I double tap in the text field to input English text, This  
brings up the virtual keyboard with buttons for "Cancel", "Clear", and  
"Translate" running across the center of the screen, just below the  
input text field and above the virtual keyboard. Type in your English  
text with the virtual keyboard, or through a Bluetooth or iPad  
keyboard dock keypad, then double tap the "Translate" button at the  
right edge of center.  Your screen will go back to the original two  
text box layout, and you'll hear "Chinese Simplified" for the dimmed  
"translate to" language button.  Flick right to the text box, and  
you'll hear the translated text announced in Chinese (if you have set  
the language rotor to Chinese before checking this field).  To select  
the text, use the rotor to set to edit mode. Flick up to hear "select  
all" and double tap, then flick up to hear "copy" and double tap.   
You'll be able to paste the text that you heard spoken in Chinese into  
another document or note, and it will contain the Chinese written  
characters.


The two buttons at the bottom of the app are for "favorites" at the  
bottom left corner, and "info" at the bottom right corner.  If you  
double tap "Favorites" you can access a list of "History" or  
"Favorites" and replay old selections.  The "Info" button lets you  
control settings, configure font size for the text used, and adjust  
voice rate or p

 1.  Can you navigate the web by form field like in jaws?  In jaws you
 just clicked the “f” key and you would land on a form field, such as
 an edit box, radio button, or button.
 2.  Is there a way to navigate text element by text element, sometimes
 it would be useful just to get to the text section of a webpage,
 especially ones that contain many links.  Is there a hot key to
 navigate text element by text element on the web?
 3.  I was reading the select multiple items section and tried it on
 the Voice over utilities, VO + F8, and went into his web section, and
 went to the web rotor popup menu.  I wanted to select multiple items
 or deselect multiple items but I could not.  Plus VO does not tell you
 if the checkbox on the popup menu is on or off, even when I pressed VO
 + f8.  Can anyone shine a light on this?  I can live with having to
 close the menu for every selected Item I want but it would be more
 convenient to just select all items I want then close the popup
 menu.
 4.  Is there a way to set up multiple tabs upon starting safari?  I
 had multiple tabs for my internet explorer on windows since this way I
 have quick access to my bank account webpage, phone bill web page,
 Google search, Gmail, NFL website, book share, and others.  Does
 anyone know how to do this?

 web item rotor can I activate that link so that the web page will load

Re: amadeus question

2010-06-22 Thread Allison Manzino
Hi Chris,

I'm so glad I was able to help you. I'm rerecording my podcast tomorrow as you 
can't hear the track I'm working on in Amadeus. I didn't realize that Audio 
Hijack didn't pick up what Amadeus was playing. I have to check out the VST 
reverb plug in, I didn't know about that. To play each track separately, I'd 
suggest naming them first. For example if you were to record guitar on one 
track, and vocals on another track. Interact with the scroll area and name the 
first track, then name the second track. After you do that you can check or 
uncheck the play boxes. Let's say you want to put reverb on the vocals, and not 
hear the guitar part. You just uncheck the play box and then only the vocal 
track will receive the reverb. I have also discovered a nifty feature called 
duplicate track. This is done by hitting command D as in Delta. It works really 
well for putting guitar on left and right sides and making a fuller sound. I 
hope I've helped. I love Amadeus and I agree with you, an accessible multitrack 
editor that doesn't cost thousands yay! Have a great evening.

 Hi fellow Amadeus users,
 I have just bought the program, and I managed to record a song with it. It 
 was a bit tricky since I had to hand sync the vocal track with the 
 instrumental track. The two questions I have are:
 1. Is there a way to move between tracks with voiceover in a multi-track 
 project?
 2. If you select the pass through box in the record dialog, why is there a 
 delay on the output?
 My first thought was that it had something to do with the sound card in my 
 macbook, but I was wondering if anyone else had experienced that.
 Over all, I have to say I'm very pleased at how well voiceover handles 
 Amadeus, and I'm becoming more and more comfortable using it in stead of 
 Gold Wave.
 
 Friendly,
 Chris

My BrailleConnect 24 shows up as an unknown Braille display

2010-06-22 Thread Jessie Kirchner
Hi List,

Has anyone else experienced this?  It's supposed to be a supported 
display, so I thought the correct name would appear in the VoiceOver Utility 
and that it would display preconfigured key assignments as it used to do with 
my BrailleNote.  But since the display is showing up as unknown, the key 
assignments table is empty and I can't seem to do much of anything in terms of 
interacting with Voiceover.  Should I change the BrailleConnect protocol to 
emulate another display?

Thanks,
Jessie

Re: Have a question on selecting multiple item and navigating by form field and text

2010-06-22 Thread Mary Otten
Hi Chris,
You can move to the next text element that isn't a link with control option p. 
I like the single finger key strokes as found in the Windows screen readers, 
because they're easier, especially if you're on a limited keyboard that lacks a 
full compliment of control etc  keys on either side of the spacebar. Of course, 
the price you pay is that you have forms mode with Jaws, for instance. 

Mary

Re: handy tech braille star 40 bluetooth pairing with iphone

2010-06-22 Thread Georges Zaynoun
Hi, I paired and used my iPod Touch with braille connect12 and it is 
awsome, but I didn't figure out yet how do I type numbers from this 
BC12 I can type letters, I still need to know where can I change 
braille table if that is possible. On another side how do I enable 
touch typing on the iPod? But I am having a problem with this braille 
connect it is sometimes being shutdown by itself without me pressing on 
the power button, this is happening when in use with this iPod touch 
and it never happened when in use with Nokia N82, how can I solve this problem?

Original message:
Hi Peter, make sure to go into Braille settings in the VoiceOver 
settings to pair you're display. This is not done under the Bluetooth 
settings.Doug
