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

2010-06-30 Thread Chris Moore
I have Google set as my default page, as I do not have page summary or auto 
reading activated VoiceOver automatically now moves the keyboard focus to the 
google search box on the web page.

However if you ever want to go directly to the google search box on the toolbar 
next to the place where you enter web addresses (URL) just press command + 
option + F (thank you Mary for that tip)

Like I said on the viphone list, I did get saytext to work on a 32 gb 3gs.
My results were far from perfect, but I was able to get the basics of the
document.  I don't know what phone the guy in the video was using, but I
didn't get the kind of results he did.  It also took me a lot longer to
bring the page in focus.  The app does beep and take the picture
automatically though, and you need lots of light.

RE: saytext is available

2010-06-30 Thread Simon F
As an owner of the KNFB reader mobile.
 This is a bloody good start to what  could be a fantastic work and everyday
tool for us the VI / blind community 

 The knfb reader mobile is a great product but it has a 1000 dollar usa
price tag, then you need an n82 or n86  / n97 phone to run it on, and then
talks or ms 
Anyone else see how a free app that does OCR and synthasized text reading,
would be a great tool to have 

I'd say start a push to work with the developers of the product to
startimplimenting  changes and working toward updates and bettering the
product.

 Don't just complain help to mae it better. 

 A product like this is what will make me think more about buying one.

At the risk of seeming snide, its free, so toss it if your unsatisfied. So,
your sick of it, make some recommendations or share constructive feedback
with the author. Look I am not overly impressed either, but damn it it is a
start and I have had more success with this than any other OCR app I have
tried. It is frustrating, but how many times have you used a camera in this
manner. Give this gent some credit because he at least has tried to bring
something to the iPhone that was not available. Perhaps if he realizes how
many people really are interested, that will provide encouragement to
improve the application.

Tried on another document and that was not as successful as the print was

RE: saytext is available

2010-06-30 Thread Simon F
The iPhone 4 is a 5 megapicsal camera but your right, it's not a karlzyse
optics lens like the cameras in the n86 and othe r devices used with the
knfb mobile reader.
 These cameras do make a differenece   I can't wait to see what the n8 with
it's 12mp camera does with knfb reader mobile.
 The 8mp cam is great, what would a 12 be like.

Using a scanner for OCR is old hat.  I think if a stand was made available
for the iPhone to fit into then the results would be better.  The distance
would be correct and the picture would be steady.  The Iphone camera does
not have image stabilisation and does not have very good auto focus and auto
zoom.  The camera was not designed for OCR in mind unlike the ones you get
from Humanware.  The resolution on the 3GS is only 3.2 pixel too. 

As the camera improves on the iPhone with future models and the processor
becomes more powerful to enable more complex functions it will be then that
we will see improved OCR on the iPhone.  But as I have said before this app
is great considering it is free and the hardware it is running on.

Re: VO responsiveness

2010-06-30 Thread Nicolai Svendsen
Hi,

Webkit is not as much a browser as the underlying engine of Safari, actually. 
The official version of Safari is already using Webkit, however if you use the 
nightly builds of Webkit you will have the latest fixes which is why a lot of 
the bugs people encounter when using the Official Safari version are often 
fixed in the latest Webkit.

Re: webkit and audible

2010-06-30 Thread Nicolai Svendsen
Hi,

Just set Webkit to the default in Safari Preferences so that every time you 
open a link or whatever, it will use Webkit. You will have to use the Webkit 
icon to open Webkit, though, as it is a separate application but uses Safari. 
It just switches out the engine with a newer up-to-date engine when using it.

Re: How do you drag a file or folder from one location to another?

2010-06-30 Thread Krister Ekstrom
Hi,
This is a philosophical letter, or at least somewhat.:-) 
I think it's odd that no screen reader in any graphical user interface that i 
have encountered has had a good drag-n-drop feature. Surely both Jfw and 
Wineyes has it but i have never managed to remember the commands for those 
things. The only screen reader i've seen that has had a good drag-&-drop 
feature was the old Outspoken screen reader for the older Macs, and that 
feature was really good. I wonder if it's due to technical difficulties or what 
could make it hard to implement this feature? and what about clicking with 
modifiers helld down? There are many applications where you have to 
option-click, shift click, command click or drag with modifier keys held down 
to get a certain effect. Why doesn't this work with Voiceover? It may, as i 
said be hard to implement so that could be why it's not possible but well, i 
must admit it bugs me sometimes.

Re: Facebook Question using VO

2010-06-30 Thread Peggy Fleischer
I don't think there is a single button that will hide all those things. I think 
you have to  look at each request and choose the button that says "don't allow 
this application. It took me a while but I finally got rid of all mine. Now I 
just get one whenever they get a new game or something.  Using the 
m.facebook.com  site helps too.

Re: How do you drag a file or folder from one location to another?

2010-06-30 Thread Cody Hurst
I tend to concur with that assessment, but this script should be easy enough to 
set up. rather than do as the page says and install it via the system 
preferences, one could just open voiceover and make a keyboard commander short 
cut as none of us would be working with a ma without voiceover anyway. Antoher 
odd thought, do you think perhaps the cut option is grayed out because we're 
using voiceover, and when voiceover is disabled, the option is ungrayed. seems 
silly but it could be a system wide bug, or feature as it was

Re: How do you drag a file or folder from one location to another?

2010-06-30 Thread Teresa Cochran

Now that I think of it, I do remember asking myself if I could live without a 
"cut" feature as I looked at some Mac tutorials. So I actually knew about that 
one going in. I figure if I wasn't happy with a basic feature of an OS, I 
wouldn't use the OS.

As for dragging and dropping, it might be a good idea to know how to do it, but 
probably in the same way that it's a good idea to know how to make bricks. You 
just might use it someday, but if there's a simpler way to do it, chances are 
you'll mostly use that instead.

Hello there Kev,

Using the main facebook site fills your screen reader with crap.  Try pointing 
your web browser at: http://m.facebook.com this is the mobile version of 
facebook so contains much less clutter.  If you still wish to use facebook 
chat, then may I suggest connecting to it either via iChat, Adium or AOL 
Instant Messenger.

Regards 

Your UK buddy.

Re: How do you drag a file or folder from one location to another?

2010-06-30 Thread Chris Moore
No I have already looked, by turning VO off does not change  the fact that 
Apple do not want users (sighted or blind) to cut in the finder.  Shame Apple 
had not supplied a move file/folder feature for  moving items.  There used to 
be a hack you could enter into the terminal to unlock the greyed out cut in the 
main menu and pop up menu.  But cutting would then just move to trash.

RE: saytext is available

2010-06-30 Thread Bryan Smart
There are other differences, too.

Those Nokia phones use a Xenon-based flash for the camera, and KNFB Reader 
includes a two-stage polarization filter. These work together to be sure that 
the object that you scan is lit well and evenly. Without the Xenon flash, the 
little LED flash in most phones isn't always able to overcome shadows, 
particularly when an image is snapped at close range. Difference in light level 
will confuse any OCR algorithm. Without the polarization filter, it is next to 
impossible to get a good image of any glossy surface, such as a box cover, a 
magazine, a laminated piece of paper. If you take a picture of one of those 
items without a polarization filter, the resulting picture includes the cameras 
flash brightly reflecting from the glossy surface. That will seriously mess up 
OCR, obliterating any text that is located inside the reflection.

Beyond that, the KNFB Reader also recognizes multiple languages, and includes 
language-to-language translation tools. Not that many people use these on a 
day-to-day basis, but they're still fairly impressive.

The real impressive bit about the KNFB Reader is that, even when it takes a 
long time, it always manages to read me something. I have taken pictures of 
computer screens when they won't boot, and heard the post messages (extremely 
difficult to read those without a polarization filter). I've zapped a 
drive-through menu through a car window, and it read a large chunk of it. I can 
even scan labels on bags, where the surface is not only glossy, but anything 
other than flat.

There is also its money identification mode. There are some inexpensive 
programs for Symbian that will just identify money, but, for some reason, some 
of them aren't able to identify every note. I think that the BeyoCBS tool for 
doing this isn't supposed to be able to identify $5 notes, and misreports them 
as $1, for example. The KNFB Reader gets them all, though. Someone needs to 
make a money identification program for iOS.

KNFB is still a better product, but perhaps not worth $1,000.

Using a scanner for OCR is old hat.  I think if a stand was made available for 
the iPhone to fit into then the results would be better.  The distance would be 
correct and the picture would be steady.  The Iphone camera does not have image 
stabilisation and does not have very good auto focus and auto zoom.  The camera 
was not designed for OCR in mind unlike the ones you get from Humanware.  The 
resolution on the 3GS is only 3.2 pixel too.

As the camera improves on the iPhone with future models and the processor 
becomes more powerful to enable more complex functions it will be then that we 
will see improved OCR on the iPhone.  But as I have said before this app is 
great considering it is free and the hardware it is running on.

Re: How do you drag a file or folder from one location to another?

2010-06-30 Thread John J Herzog
Hi Teresa, 
I wanted to comment on your suggestion that it is easier to copy and paste 
versus drag and drop. I'm afraid that, for time reasons alone, drag and drop 
would be far more useful than copying and pasting currently is. When you drag 
and drop something from one place to another, it is almost instantaneous. By 
contrast, copying something that is multiple gigabytes, like an Itunes library 
for instance, takes quite a while. So, for time sake alone, dragging and 
dropping would be a far easier method of moving things from one spot to 
another, if only we could utilize it. 
Now, however, you have to copy something to a new location, remembering, of 
course, to delete the previous one if you don't want it any longer, which takes 
a good amount of time. For this reason, I wish drag and drop would be 
implemented in voiceover.

RE: How do you drag a file or folder from one location to another?

2010-06-30 Thread Bryan Smart
There is actually a technical reason, or there was, at one point.

If you cut/paste a file, that should be a move of the file. Except, if you 
cut/paste to another hard drive, in which case, instead of a move, the Finder 
must perform a copy to the new drive, then delete the original. Supposedly, 
there was some complexity in having the Finder always detect which process was 
needed, and still account for strange situations, like when a folder on a 
volume is actually a simlink to a file server. I know that Apple could have 
worked it out, but it wasn't a quicky fix. I suspect that they put it off for 
when it could be better implemented, but, since most users don't need it, they 
just kept putting it off.

No I have already looked, by turning VO off does not change  the fact that 
Apple do not want users (sighted or blind) to cut in the finder.  Shame Apple 
had not supplied a move file/folder feature for  moving items.  There used to 
be a hack you could enter into the terminal to unlock the greyed out cut in the 
main menu and pop up menu.  But cutting would then just move to trash.

VO and spell checker bug in safari fixed.

2010-06-30 Thread Daniel Rowe
Hi all,
Just to let you all know that VO now brings up the menu of corrections for a 
misspelled word when you use VO+shift+m  in edit boxes in Safari, after you use 
command+semicolon.  This bug was fixed either in mac os X 10.6.4 or Safari 5.
I asume this will also work if you have "check spelling while typing" enabled.

Hope this is of benefit to some of you.

Re: webkit and audible

2010-06-30 Thread Allison Manzino
Hi Nic, Sarah and all,

Thank you for the help. I did as you instructed and then tried to access 
audible, but VO kept restarting. THe only way I seem to have luck is to start 
Webkit whenever I want to access Audible. Other than Audible, every other site 
I've been on seems to work fine. Thank you again, and have a great day.

Allison

for I/o and Pro Tools 8.04 HD sees it in hardware setup rite out of  
the box so to speak!

Re: reading ibooks on iphone with braille display?

2010-06-30 Thread Thuy
Hi Donna. I have been able to make this work with my eurobraille
esys12 and the iphone 3gs running ios4. To find out the key commands
from the braille display, go into the voiceover practise gesture area
and try out different combinations. Mine has two options for a lot of
functions including the page up and down. If you have input keys,
sometimes a chord will work? With mine I have a left joystick or I can
do it with the o-chord or ow-chord . Sometimes it changes the page,
but doesn't always refresh it on the display unless you move out of
the text area into the bookmark button and then back into the text
area, you might be lucky? Hope this helps?

Cheers

Thuy

Re: How do you drag a file or folder from one location to another?

2010-06-30 Thread Teresa Cochran
When dragging and dropping, aren't you just copying and pasting anyhow? If one 
were to compare what is actually happening with the files, wouldn't it take 
just as long to drag and drop a 1-gig file as copying and pasting it?

 Hi Chris,
 This is a known problem that we can't drag and drop objects in the finder.
 apple knows already of this issue but it seems that they are not planning 
 to change this in the near future.
 It's frustrated, I know but, there is a good alternative like described in 
 the mail of Rossy.
 
 I use this script and I have linked the hockey command+option+shift+x to 
 do this task.
 It goes fast enough for me but, of course, a natural command+x should be 
 better :(
 
 Hope this helps,
 best regards,
 William

Re: reading ibooks on iphone with braille display?

2010-06-30 Thread Donna Goodin
Hi Thuy,

Interesting.  I did go into practice gestures, and was surprised to find that 
there weren't too many commands available.  I wonder if this could be unique to 
the Alva.  The basics were there, of course, navigate left/right, move to next 
item, touble-tap item, but I saw nothing for page-down.  I'll check again, but 
maybe I'll drop Apple a quick note about this.
Thanks,
Donna

Re: webkit and audible

2010-06-30 Thread Nicolai Svendsen
Hi,

I use Webkit by default now, actually. That's really the best idea, I think, 
personally, as you get the latest fixes and improvements. You actually do see 
performance improvements as well, so the fact that VoiceOver might seem a bit 
snappier wouldn't be a surprise.

Nic

Never Mind, Was Re: How do you drag a file or folder from one location to another?

2010-06-30 Thread Teresa Cochran
Sorry; disregard my last post to this thread. I was confused, but on a more 
careful reading it all became clear.

I guess I don't mind copying files instead of cutting. I've put many a file 
into oblivion in Windows by cutting, so I guess I can deal with the extra time 
it takes to copy.

 Hi Chris,
 This is a known problem that we can't drag and drop objects in the finder.
 apple knows already of this issue but it seems that they are not planning 
 to change this in the near future.
 It's frustrated, I know but, there is a good alternative like described in 
 the mail of Rossy.
 
 I use this script and I have linked the hockey command+option+shift+x to 
 do this task.
 It goes fast enough for me but, of course, a natural command+x should be 
 better :(
 
 Hope this helps,
 best regards,

it is all subjective but the fact is that cut and paste is faster it eliminates

Re: reading ibooks on iphone with braille display?

2010-06-30 Thread Søren Jensen
Donna: try to press a dot 1 3 5 chord and dot 2 4 6 chord to flick between 
pages. That works on the displays I've tried, but it might work differently on 
the different Braille displays. I hope Apple will make a list of these Braille 
commands soon, so we don't have to figure it out on our own through the 
VOiceover practise screen.

What keyboard shortcuts for external keyboards used with the iPhone under iOS4? [was Re: reading ibooks on iphone with braille display?]

2010-06-30 Thread Esther

Hi Thuy, Donna, and Erik,

Can you really do page up and page down on the Braille Display?  I'd  
be interested to see a list of the navigation capabilities of the  
Braille devices.  I'm writing up a summary of keyboard shortcuts for  
the Apple Wireless Keyboard and iPad Keyboard Dock.  These are mostly  
the movement and selection commands you are familiar with, but none of  
the Fn key combinations that work on the Macbook to page up or page  
down (Fn+Up or Down Arrow), or to forward delete (Fn+Delete) work with  
these keyboards.  This may be a decision, since the iPad Keyboard Dock  
doesn't have the Fn key.  What's interesting is that the shortcut  
combination of Command-Space bar to switch input language keyboards  
works with these keyboards.  (This shortcut key combination is in the  
list by Jacob Rus of Cocoa keybindings, and predates the existence of  
Spotlight, which was also assigned this shortcut.)

http://www.hcs.harvard.edu/~jrus/site/system-bindings.html
The only thing is, if you want to switch to language with non-Roman  
letters, such as Russian (cyrillic characters), Greek, or Japanese,  
you'd better set your language rotor to "Default" if you want to hear  
these options announced.  (And I'm really happy there is a language  
rotor in iOS4.)


Erik, you can't assign new keys under iOS4, so unless there's a way to  
remap the key assignments on the Braille devices, I don't think you  
can customize shortcut key combinations.


HTH.  Cheers,

Esther

New Pulsar with VoiceOver

2010-06-30 Thread Robert Carter
Hi,

There is a new version of Pulsar. Pulsar is a program that allows one to listen 
to XM Radio if you have an online account. unfortunately, this new version 
seems to have taken several steps in the wrong direction as far as 
accessibility goes. At least that is my experience so far. Has anybody found a 
reasonable way to access this software?

Thanks,

Thanks Esther,

I can apparently pre-order it now, and the apple website is toting rogers, 
fido, bell, and telus versions.  I couldn't find a delivery date on the 
pre-order page though and it always gives me pause when I see that.  I sort'a 
feel like some one who is advancing money on a product or service has the right 
to know when to expect delivery.

Re: How do you drag a file or folder from one location to another?

2010-06-30 Thread Chris Moore
H now I would imagine the feature is probably enabled in all applications 
apart from the Finder. But when in finder maybe the option should change to 
Move instead of Cut.  So it would be like copying, accept when you hit Move 
instead of cut the items are not deleted immediately until you instruct where 
you want the files moved to.  A bit like a copy and paste but without having to 
go back and delete the files.

 Hi,
 This is a philosophical letter, or at least somewhat.:-) 
 I think it's odd that no screen reader in any graphical user interface 
 that i have encountered has had a good drag-n-drop feature. Surely both 
 Jfw and Wineyes has it but i have never managed to remember the commands 
 for those things. The only screen reader i've seen that has had a good 
 drag-&-drop feature was the old Outspoken screen reader for the older 
 Macs, and that feature was really good. I wonder if it's due to technical 
 difficulties or what could make it hard to implement this feature? and 
 what about clicking with modifiers helld down? There are many applications 
 where you have to option-click, shift click, command click or drag with 
 modifier keys held down to get a certain effect. Why doesn't this work 
 with Voiceover? It may, as i said be hard to implement so that could be 
 why it's not possible but well, i must admit it bugs me sometimes.

Re: braille display

2010-06-30 Thread Anne Robertson
Hello May,

I use an ancient PAC Mate 20 display alone with my MacBook. I just connected it 
and it was recognised in the VoiceOver Utility. It's USB only, of course, and 
the connection used to be a bit problematic until one of my dogs pulled the PAC 
Mate onto the floor and bent the USB connector, since when the connection has 
been perfect!

I don't recommend this as a solution to connection problems, but it fixed mine.

Cheers,

Anne

 I tend to concur with that assessment, but this script should be easy

Yeah January 2011 right?  So is that a big deal for you guys? is Horizon a 
better network?  I guess it will ease some of the traffic on AT&T.  The iPhone 
in the UK is available in the UK by 7 providers now (O2, Vodafone, Orange, 
T-Mobile, Virgin, Tesco and 3).  Guess we are spoilt for choice now, shame the 
tariffs are not so good now that the unlimited data is gone.

Hi Donna and Kimberly,

As far as I know, there still isn't an official announcement.  What  
people are going by is the Bloomberg report that "Verizon Wireless  
Said to Start Offering iPhone in January".  Everyone declined to be  
named, and the Verizon Wireless spokesman, Apple, etc. all declined to  
comment.


Cheers,

 I read a few days ago that someone on the list was having trouble with VO

 there a way to route webkit to Safari? Webkit is sitting on the dock, 
 along with Safari. Every time I want to go in to Audible, I have to start 
 Webkit. any ideas? I don't mind starting Webkit, and I'm glad that this

Re: webkit and audible

2010-06-30 Thread Kimberly thurman
Yeah, and if you click a link in an E-mail and Web Kit is not open already, you 
will have to click  the link again, as the first click  will just open Webkit 
to the Webkit page.  Not a big deal though.  I have been using Webkit almost 
exclusively for some time now.

Re: iphone 4 in Canada?

2010-06-30 Thread Karen Lewellen

Hey!
Something I may be able to help with, smiles.
Who is your provider?
For example  cellular point  stores have them for bell at last in Toronto.
best way might be to phone the  cell company you are considering, ask if 
they have the a phone and for a dealer near you.

I actually held one a month back or so here in Toronto.

 I think it's odd that no screen reader in any graphical user interface 
 that i have encountered has had a good drag-n-drop feature. Surely both 
 Jfw and Wineyes has it but i have never managed to remember the commands 
 for those things. The only screen reader i've seen that has had a good

 Macs, and that feature was really good. I wonder if it's due to technical

 what about clicking with modifiers helld down? There are many applications 
 where you have to option-click, shift click, command click or drag with 
 modifier keys held down to get a certain effect. Why doesn't this work

just have a newer engine than what Safari uses now. It will still look exactly 
the same, but you will see performance improvements and bug fixes, and even new 
features as the engine is updated. You get nightly builds every second day or 
so, sometimes even every day.

http://webkit.org
You can read more about it there. Worth noting is also that it will look just 
like Safari, because you're just loading a newer engine than What Safari 
already uses officially. That means all your preferences, bookmarks and 
everything else is kept. Just remember to use the Webkit icon instead, and a 
good idea is to set it as the default browser in Safari preferences.

Hi,

Actually, you don't have to double-click the link, the link sometimes just 
opens in the background with the Webkit page in the front. IF you read down the 
Webkit page that it loads, though, you'll see a way to get your original 
homepage instead.

 I tend to concur with that assessment, but this script should be easy 
 enough to set up. rather than do as the page says and install it via the 
 system preferences, one could just open voiceover and make a keyboard 
 commander short cut as none of us would be working with a ma without 
 voiceover anyway. Antoher odd thought, do you think perhaps the cut option 
 is grayed out because we're using voiceover, and when voiceover is 
 disabled, the option is ungrayed. seems silly but it could be a system 
 wide bug, or feature as it was

Re: Verizon getting the iphone

I don't think that it'll be an issue which who keeps and who gains. it's pretty 
much cut and dry who will get what. AT and T sucks, sucky 3g coverage, and 
sucky call quality, and everyone I know has been dreaming vzw will get the 
iPhone, so that being said, we all can pretty much assume everyone from AT and 
T will be leaving and swarming to Verizon. I know this for a fact. that is of 
course if you like shitty 3g coverage and dropped calls. That commercial is 
more than deceiving, it's a lie

Re: iphone 4 in Canada?

2010-06-30 Thread erik burggraaf
Hi Karen,  I can understand what the appeal might be for a lot of people, 
especially if you are lucky enough to be in love with your phone carrier.

For myself I can honestly say that nothing on earth would induce me to buy a 
phone from any carrier I've had the misfortune to deal with in Canada.  not 
bell or telus, and especially not rogers.  In case I should ever be forced to 
buy a phone from a carrier I'll be buying the phone outright and never 
approaching anything that looks like a contract.  Bad bad bad news.

In this case I think I'll quite happily grab one from the apple store and then 
just buy a prepaid simcard for it from probably fido, but maybe I'll check 
mobilicity and see if they can support it.

Best,

iPad keyboard dock and iPhone 3GS [was Re: What keyboard shortcuts for external keyboards used with the iPhone under iOS4? ]

2010-06-30 Thread Esther

Hi Chris,

I'm using the iPad keyboard dock with my iPod Touch, but here's a link  
to an article reporting use of the iPad keyboard dock with the iPhone  
3GS at Slashgear:

http://www.slashgear.com/ios4-iphone-3gs-works-with-ipad-keyboard-dock-video-2290908/
There's an earlier post I wrote on "iPad keyboard options" that has a  
link to the Gearlog diary entry about this, and also links and  
excerpts to Dan Frakes' article evaluating both the iPad keyboard dock  
and the Apple Wireless Keyboard:

http://www.mail-archive.com/macvisionaries%40googlegroups.com/msg19393.html
There are some other considerations that I've discussed on the viphone  
list.  The keyboard dock is less portable than the Wireless  
(BlueTooth) keyboard.  In order to support the larger iPad, it has a  
stabilizer base that extends out the back of the keyboard, so it  
weighs nearly twice as much as the wireless keyboard (21.4 ounces vs.  
11.4 ounces, or 600 grams vs. 320 grams).  It's about the size of the  
iPhone (very slightly larger), and extends out from the middle of the  
keyboard so that it supports the keyboard at a slight angle for easier  
typing.  The stabilizer base also supports the back of the iPod Touch  
or iPad.  It supports about the bottom third of my iPod Touch, as it  
sits on the dock connector, and is very slightly wider than the device.


Good points of the keyboard dock are: support in fixed position makes  
it easy to alternate between typing and touching the screen, dock has  
a connector that allows you to charge your device while docked, and  
also has a standard 3.5 mm audio jack connector that lets you connect  
up to audio system or speakers (or, you could plug in your headset).


Possible issues: you can't use a case on the bottom of the device that  
you dock (not a problem for me, since my iPod Touch case can slide the  
bottom half off), less portable (because of weight and shape),  
probably not optimal for docking the new iPhone 4 (because of the  
different shape design and thickness).  Also, the iPhone speaker is at  
the bottom of the device, so I don't know how this would work if  
receive a call while typing.

Hi Thuy, Donna, and Erik,

Can you really do page up and page down on the Braille Display?   
I'd be interested to see a list of the navigation capabilities of  
the Braille devices.  I'm writing up a summary of keyboard  
shortcuts for the Apple Wireless Keyboard and iPad Keyboard Dock.   
These are mostly the movement and selection commands you are  
familiar with, but none of the Fn key combinations that work on the  
Macbook to page up or page down (Fn+Up or Down Arrow), or to  
forward delete (Fn+Delete) work with these keyboards.  This may be  
a decision, since the iPad Keyboard Dock doesn't have the Fn key.   
What's interesting is that the shortcut combination of Command- 
Space bar to switch input language keyboards works with these  
keyboards.  (This shortcut key combination is in the list by Jacob  
Rus of Cocoa keybindings, and predates the existence of Spotlight,  
which was also assigned this shortcut.)

http://www.hcs.harvard.edu/~jrus/site/system-bindings.html
The only thing is, if you want to switch to language with non-Roman  
letters, such as Russian (cyrillic characters), Greek, or Japanese,  
you'd better set your language rotor to "Default" if you want to  
hear these options announced.  (And I'm really happy there is a  
language rotor in iOS4.)


Erik, you can't assign new keys under iOS4, so unless there's a way  
to remap the key assignments on the Braille devices, I don't think  
you can customize shortcut key combinations.


HTH.  Cheers,

Esther

Hi Karen,  I can understand what the appeal might be for a lot of people, 
especially if you are lucky enough to be in love with your phone carrier.

For myself I can honestly say that nothing on earth would induce me to buy a 
phone from any carrier I've had the misfortune to deal with in Canada.  not 
bell or telus, and especially not rogers.  In case I should ever be forced 
to buy a phone from a carrier I'll be buying the phone outright and never 
approaching anything that looks like a contract.  Bad bad bad news.

In this case I think I'll quite happily grab one from the apple store and 
then just buy a prepaid simcard for it from probably fido, but maybe I'll 
check mobilicity and see if they can support it.

Re: iphone 4 in Canada?

2010-06-30 Thread erik burggraaf
Hi, no, fido is not rogers.  It's weird, but they are two seperate companies, 
both owned by rogers, using the same GSM towers.  The probable reason for this 
is that Rogers physicly owns those towers, giving them a communications 
monopoly.  It's illegal to have a communications monopoly in Canada according 
to what I've read.

So they have a monopoly, but really they don't.

Getting Mail to behave the way it used to

2010-06-30 Thread Michael Busboom
Hello everyone,

I don't know what I did to precipitate this change, but Mail is behaving 
slightly differently than it used to.

Yesterday, I was notified about a new version of Mail, and I downloaded it.  I 
may have made some other changes as well, but the problem I am now having isn't 
serious, but it's a pain, nonetheless.

Whenever going through messages in the message table, I used to be able to 
press Enter on the message I wanted to hear and Voice Over would automatically 
begin to read the text portion of the message.  This is no longer the case, and 
I'd love to know how to restore the old behavior.  Now, I have to first 
interact with the text and then press VO A to hear the message.  It is far more 
time-consuming than I would like.

Does anyone have any ideas about how to get my system to revert to the earlier 
behavior, and thanks in advance,

Mike

Actually, what you can do is press VO J, and the message will be read. After 
you have read the message, press Vo J to return to the message table.
