Re: facebook with safari
The only way I have managed to get this to work is on the mobile version of the website or to use the iPhone app. Really puzzled why I can't find it on the main site too. I tend to use facebook chat via iChat or AIM (Adium did not work for me). I could not get facebook chat to work to good on the main site, but Kevin demonstrated to me yesterday that it can be done (smart ass), so will give that another go.

RE: USB drives in VM Fusion
Ok If it's connecting to the mac, dis connect (eject ) it from the mac, but leave it actually plugged in to the machine. And then go into the virtual machine menu of the vm fusion software and find the USB devices option in the menu and make sure the USB drive is enabled within vm fusion.

Re: Moving apps on iPod Touch using the Mac
Hi David. I spent ages trying to move apps around and into folders etc, and it is doable on the iphone/ipod. It's quite easy to move an app by one slot either way in order to drop it into a folder or create a folder from two apps being superimposed. The way I deal with moving apps and folders is to shunt them onto a separate page so that they are the only 2 items on that page, then once I have all the apps that I need in the required folder, I can shift the entire folder onto an earlier page. Bear in mind that it will place the apps in the order in which you slot them into the folders. It's also easy if you only have one or two items on a page just to throw the app back out of the folder if you make a mistake. So if I want to order apps alphabetically, I just go into the folder and find the app I want, chuck it out of the folder, and place it back inside it again. That way, I know it's going to be the most recently added app in the list inside the folder. Hope this helps?

RE: Need Basic Help About Running Windows
Yes. If you install with VM Fusion you can put all of your documents on the mac side and still access them with office applications. As the MAC IWork suite matures in its accessibility you can transition to the Mac and maybe one day scrap Windows altogether which is my ultimate goal. By the way, when I installed Windows 7 I could do everything until Windows wanted me to put in a login and password. Perhaps that is a Windows 7 thing and it doesn't work that way in XP. -Original Message- From: macvisionaries@googlegroups.com [mailto:macvisionar...@googlegroups.com] On Behalf Of Deb Lewis Sent: Wednesday, July 07, 2010 9:41 PM To: macvisionaries@googlegroups.com Subject: Re: Need Basic Help About Running Windows Yes, I've just listened to Mike's podcast and most of thatmakes sensee to me. Really helpful. He mentioned that I could install it either just using the Virtual Machine or install Windows through bootcamp with sightedhelp (which I have) and then have them dual boot. Except for the issue of accessibility during install, is there any difference between doing it through Bootcamp initiallly or through the VMWare? Also we're buy the extra memory for the Mac Book so it will have 8 megs. It sounds like this is enough if I change Windows to 384? That still leaves the Mac with more than its default.

RE: Need Basic Help About Running Windows
Using the caps lock is an issue in VM Fusion. So when installing JAWS don't let it go to the system tray initially. Instead let it stay on the desktop. You can redefine your jaws key to a keystroke that will work. I use a mac mini with a desktop keyboard so I can use the standard JAWS key.

Hi Liam, One way to accomplish what you are trying to do is to bring up the item chooser and type button. Down arrow till you hear the "share" button spoken.

Re: facebook with safari
Actually, there's an easier way. Someone on the list pointed it out, I am sorry, I can't recall who at the moment. 1. Bring up the item chooser. 2. Type the word Mind. You will see the What's on your mind prompt as an option. 3. Press Enter to exit Item Chooser. 4. Start typing. You still won't see the prompt, but you'll be in the right place. When you're done typing, you'll be able to arrow back and forth and you post will be in the edit box. 5. Click Share and you're good to go.

Re: Move addict now completely accessible
Perhaps the developer could add a system preferences panel to make it easier to control rather then the contorted opening of the package contents. In the mean time, perhaps creating an alias of the preferences program and dropping that into the applications directory might work for some ease. I don't remember enough about how HFS aliases work, but [perhaps somebody could create a alias and post it to the list to prevent contortions by folks while attempting to find the preference applcation.

Re: voice over scripts
It might be possible to get to the underlying application objects via AppleScript and then create a completely new User Interface in Apple Script to the program. I would expect this in (except in some limited cases) to be completely the wrong approach. If you were able to reproduce all the User Interactions in the original program using the AppleScript visible objects then you would be 90% of the way to retooling the environment into a framework that could not only be accessable, but would leverage all the standard interactions that Apple provides to its users. Accessability for the blind is just one feature that is enable by converting applications from a private, Adobe, or Darwin framework into a Darwin framework.

Re: Move addict now completely accessible
Hi Jon, I don't know that the developer would necessarily get into creating a System Preference pane now that he's completed the application in it's current form, although it's entirely possible he might consider it in the future. I suppose it would be a question for him if someone's interested in asking. Personally, I think this application, which runs in the background, does essentially one thing and does it seamlessly and transparently so I don't feel it's something that requires a preference pane in System Preferences. Once the couple of parameters are set, I doubt anyone would have a reason to change them. That said, creating an alias would probably work just fine. It's not something that someone could create on a given system and share with others since it's specific to the paths of a given OS file system. Creating an alias, though, is a very simple thing and, now that it's an easy prospect to simply move the alias with MoveAddict, one can create the alias within the Resources folder, cut it and paste it to the Applications folder. I'll give it a test run and, if it doesn't work, I'll report back.

Re: Move addict now completely accessible
Hi Ray, MoveAddict is a utility application that, once installed, runs in the background and simply supports functionality that allows one to cut and paste files within the Finder. Normally, files are copied and pasted, then the original is deleted. A sighted user can simply drag a file to move it but, until drag & drop is implemented successfully, the only option for VoiceOver users is to copy and paste. Now, with MoveAddict, it's possible to simply cut and paste.

Setting Up Time In ICal?
Hi, all, I can't seem to find a way to navigate to the hours and minutes in ICal. I can set up the date just fine once I interact with it, but when I move the VO cursor to the right of the date, it just skips to the "new calendar" button at the bottom of the window. Any ideas?

multilingual braille tables for mac
Hi I installed the multilingual braille tables for mac and then tested it with some greek text on the web that I made google translate produce. My question is why does all the greek text use eight dot braille? same for hebrew, arabic and other languages? I wish there were a way to tell voiceover not to use eight dot braille at all sometimes like a checkbox or something.

Re: Solona commandline tool for the Mac
Donna, You only have to use quotes if the file or directory name contains spaces. You can also escape the spaces with \. Also, everything is case sensitive. So, "cd Documents/solona" should get you there assuming you are in your home directory. You can also tab to auto complete file names. IE, "cd sol".

Re: Setting Up Time In ICal?
Sadly iCal has limitations when it comes to use with VoiceOver. Apple are fully aware and looking to implement more improvements in future updates. I could not find a way to navigate the times on the Calendar canvas either. However you can create a new event or new to do and then interact with it and enter the time. The only fully accessible version of iCal currently is on the iPhone, even the mobile me version is not accessible currently.

A warning about Digit-Eyes
I'm writing to share my experiences with Digit-Eyes. I tried it on my iPhone 4, with several bar codes, and it didn't recognize even one of them. I don't mean that the code was located, but not recognized. I mean that the code was not even detected as being in the image. I'd tap the scan button, and the constant clicking would begin to let me know that scanning was in progress. I was scanning in a brightly lit room, and the screen curtain was not on. Rotating the containers in front of the iPhone camera, with it held about a foot away from them, produced no results. I had a sighted friend deliberately place the bar code in view, something that I would have not been able to do on my own, and it wasn't recognized, either. We just kept trying different angles, and rotating, but all we got was more clicking from the Digit-Eyes scanner. I had some experience with creating a system like this several years ago. At that time, CCD cameras were not as accurate. Even so, for best results, we determined that a 3D laser scanner would be required in order for bar codes to be detected in the way that a blind person is likely to present them to the scanner: at angles, in shadow, etc. This is the technique used by other commercial systems like the ID Mate. I was lead to understand that this wasn't a concern with Digit-Eyes, due to the higher quality camera in the iPhone 3GS and iPhone 4. However, based on my results, I'd say that this isn't so. Perhaps Digit-Eyes works better with dedicated labels, but, if I were to make dedicated labels, I'd just create Braille labels. I realize that everyone doesn't read Braille, and so audio labels still might be of use to some people. However, the advertised function of being able to read bar codes seems to not work, or else, it might work, but requires a level of alignment precision that I've not been able to achieve. I'm usually quite capable when it comes to reasoning through these types of situations, so my conclusion is that I've either overlooked something profound, or else the level of alignment that is required for a good scan is grater than most blind people will independently obtain without assistance. If you need assistance, you might as well ask the sighted person what is on the label. *shrug* I'd like to hear the experiences of others. However, I can't personally suggest that anyone spend the $30 that is charged for this app if they expect to use it as a bar code scanner.

Re: A warning about Digit-Eyes
I totally agree, it works great with CDs but no good on tins, jars or bottles. It managed to read a few food items but its very hit and miss and something you would use if it is a last resort .

Re: A warning about Digit-Eyes
Right now I would agree that this app is not ready for prime time. I have been very impressed with the commitment of the developers and was very willing to take a chance on this product. But not only is it nearly impossible to scan a bar code, it's also seemingly impossible to print out the labels. I've now sent images of our label printing attempts to Nancy and I'm hopeful that they'll isolate the problem. But meanwhile, I haven't had much luck with either printing labels of various sizes or reading existing bar codes except for some isolated incidences on the latter. I would currently recommend waiting to buy this app. I would purchase it as a labeler and will be happy when or if that works. I would say it's definitely not a barcode reader for me at least. - Original Message - From: "Bryan Smart" To: Sent: Thursday, July 08, 2010 3:03 PM Subject: A warning about Digit-Eyes I'm writing to share my experiences with Digit-Eyes.

Hello Josh, I have found a similar problem in reading digest list messages. It's been a couple of days since I experimented with this but there is a way I like to navigate and I will try to remember how I do it, below: I know that sometimes it works well to use the next heading at the same level command, depending upon whether the digest is HTML or not. The next heading at the same level command is VO+Command+M. I have also used with great success the next Plain Text command which is VO+Command+P command. You may also wish to try the Next Paragraph command which is: VO+Shift+Page Down.

Re: A warning about Digit-Eyes
Bryan, I have used this application successfully with several types of packages. I have found cans to be particularly tricky. I can tell you that my greatest success seem to be starting out with my 3GS against the item, and once I started the scan, slowly back the phone away from the item. Again, this worked for me on several items. I have not run all over the house grabbing everything with a barcode, so I can't say that I have encountered every possible packaging type and this refers to shiny packaging, different color combinations, etc. I don't even know for sure if these are factors. I agree it would be nice if an external laser barcode reader could be used because this would seriously speed up the process of scanning items in a store etc. I put that suggestion out there and not sure if it will be considered or not. I realize carrying such a device does defeat some of the purpose perhaps, but it does allow for additional opportunities, such as someone who maintains inventory etc. Perhaps you have and if not, share your experiences and suggestion.

Re: A warning about Digit-Eyes
Hey Scott:I don't know if this'll help at all, but I use an ID mate from Nvision America. And I bring it up because from using it, I've learned that the bar-codes on cans tend to be right around where the sceam of the label is. Obviously, that doesn't work for canned pop. But, it's pretty flawless with canned soups, veg, etc. This might help those using apps like Digiteyes.

RE: A warning about Digit-Eyes
Yes; I'd be happy if they allowed us to use a Bluetooth laser scanner. Even though a separate device would be required for the higher quality scans, there are small scanners available. Beyond that, the important fact is that the CPU portion (the iPhone), is very mobile. We can, today, use a computer with a scanner to identify objects. Carrying a computer around the house isn't handy. Carrying an iPhone to do the processing, though, isn't that difficult. So, for me, there would still be value. I suggest that they retain the functionality with the built-in camera, but allow Bluetooth scanning for those that can purchase a scanner. I'm not sure that I'm going to pursue a refund, but I'd encourage others to withhold their money until the scanning quality has been addressed. If you just buy the program as-is, they have little incentive to improve it.

RE: voice over scripts Would Quick keys work?
Yep. People have used it before in situations, such as the now non-functional scripts for Logic. I'm using it to assemble a generalized system of script add ons that will be a bit more like what people may have experienced with Window Eyes or Jaws. Download it, if you like. It's fairly accessible with VoiceOver, though there are a few tricky spots that require workarounds. There is a 30 day demo, and it is nagware after that. Buying it is inexpensive.

Re: A warning about Digit-Eyes
Hi Everyone, There seem to be a bunch of different issues on this thread and I'll try to answer all of them, but if I miss something, please bring it up. First, it is possible to use a laser scanner with the digit-eyes website if you have something like the metrologic. Second, if you have a specific laser scanner that you'd like to use with it (bluetooth or a sled or whatever), please contact me offlist and give me the specifications on the product because we would be interested in seeing what it might take to interface with it. I don't think such a solution would be for most of the people that have it, but it might be good for some and I'd like to see some specifica on what you are interested in . Third, the major reason to use Digit-Eyes rather than the PenFriend would be: a) convenience (handier to have a device in your pocket that records and reads your labels in addition to having the talking clock, talking calculator, and all the other functions you get on the iPhone) b) ease of use (DigitEyes is on yur phone, rather than being a separate device, it does not require you to use labels in sequence, allows long recording, should you wish them, allows thousands of labels and has other advantages) b) cost of ownership / cost of operation Fourth, I'm working with Deb to determine what the problem is with the combination of the labels, the printer setup and the way we are preparing the file. PDF's are extremely precise (1/72nd of an inch) and the labels are generally very precisely cut, but in the case of the labels she is using, we seem to have a mismatch between the specs and the results that we are working to resolve. Fifth, as noted here, there is a learning curve on the manufacturer's codes because the fact that the manufacturers do not locate them consistently or for human convenience. Of our 40 or so beta testers, virtually everyone ended up being able to use it on most UPC codes. The knack is in understanding where the manufacturer put the label, since it is not consistent and pausing long enough in the motion to allow the autofocus to capture an image. Please note that all our testing was done with the 3gs camera; we have been testing with the 4 and the focus is much faster and it has a longer focal length. In either case, moving the phone quickly confuses the autofocus mechanism. To scan (say) a shiny coke can, I've found the best strategy for me is simply to make sure the bottom of the phone is on a surface like my desk (my hands shake slightly) and then to put the can on its side in front of the phone and to turn it about 1/8 turn, pause a second and if there is no 'beep' for the capture, turn it again. When using the camera on the iPhone 4, the capture is about twice as fast. When we showed the product at NFB this weekend, we met a number of customers in person. Some were having no problem at all with finding the codes and some were having problems. I worked with those who had issues and pretty much without exception, the general issue was one of too much motion.

Re: MobileMe help
Hi Sarai, You asked: When I sank my PC to the Mac and iPhone with MobileMe, I have duplicate contacts. What is the best way to get rid of them? In iPhone, if I choose a duplicate contact, there are duplicate fields in the contacts. Help. TK: You could get rid of the duplicates and fix up everything on one of the synced machines, preferably the Mac. Once everything is the way you want it on the specific machine, go to the System Preferences, to Mobile Me, select the Sync tab, click on Advanced and then click on the Reset Synced Data button. You will be given some options of which direction to send the synced data, be sure to select the one that sends your data to Mobile Me otherwise all your work will be in vain. If your iPhone is set to sync over the air, then it will fix itself after the reset. Simply sync the other machine soon after the reset and it should align as well. Depending on your settings, you may get a warning about more than 25% of your Contacts being modified, read the dialog carefully so that the duplicates are not rebuilt. HTH.

RE: spotlight search is wonderful!
Do you know, I was thinking about that very issue earlier and decided that yet another ms feature has to be ditched right now. I know of a PC search that will work better, but the idea of one OS that just does what I want it to in a pretty consistent way gets more appealing by the day. I get my hands on on Friday next week, and by the way we've had to close booking for that session due to its popularity, but I've already gone from wondering how to do basic things in Mac to wishing I had it right now when Windows doesn't do what I want.

Re: spotlight search is wonderful!
Yes, but you can also use Spotlight to get definitions for words. Write any word in the search field, and you will get a definition list with related words and a description/explanation of the term. Try for example with the word hilarious and see the result. Also, you can use Spotlight as a quick calculator. Write 2+2 or 24/8 in the search field, and you will get the result 2+2=4 and 24/8=3.
