Re: OLd School ClarisWorks Translator
Hello Kevin, The best way to deal with your ClarisWorks documents while keeping the formatting is to get hold of AppleWorks and open them with that. Although AppleWorks 6 is not accessible to VoiceOver, you just have to Save As filename in AppleWorks 6 format and the documents can then be opened in iWork09. This will work for text documents and spread sheets, but not for other types of ClarisWorks documents. Alternatively, if you don't mind sifting through the rubbish, TextEdit can open ClarisWorks documents, but you'll find lots of extraneous material in there. If you need any more help on this, feel free to contact me off list at: a...@anarchie.org.uk Cheers, Anne -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "MacVisionaries" group.

Suggestion for making a great VO feature even better.
Hello everyone, Before submitting this feature request to the accessibility team at Apple, I was curious if (1) it is implemented already and (2) what others thought. I work in a multilingual context daily. I am very satisfied with my text-to-speech software, too. However, I occasionally have this annoying problem that wouldn't be a problem if one of VO's features could be enhanced just a bit. Whenever I type, I keep all keyboard echo features turned off. This means that I only hear text when I move the arrow keys or invoke a VO function that causes something to be spoken. I find that I make a lot more mistakes when writing if there is any feedback whatsoever when I am typing. One of the really cool things about VO, however, is that whenever the Caps Lock is invoked VO beeps each time a key is pressed. I like this a lot. I also very much appreciate the fact that whenever a word I encounter while listening to a text is mis-spelled, VO sends an error beep. What I would like to see is an extension to this feature wherein VO beeped on a mis-spelled word, even if the keyboard is silent. I don't know how many times I started to write a text in English, only to realize later that I was still using a German keyboard. I would save a lot of time and hassle if, immediately after the first mis-spelled word was encountered, I could switch the keyboard to the appropriate language. I would also use this feature extensively, even if I were in a monolingual context. Your thoughts?

Hi Kev, I don't have a bt keyboard on my IPod. But from what others who do have them have said, the answer to your question about navigation on the IPhone is no.

RE: word processing and spred sheets on ipad
I can not say with certainty, but I thought that I read that it isn't possible. I know that, with apps like Drop Box, you can certainly view and open your files on the remote server for viewing on your iPhone/iPad, but you're really just opening them inside the Drop Box app, using its own built-in viewers. Just like other apps, Drop Box can access files over the Internet, and can even download them in to its private sandbox on the iPhone/iPad, but it can't give other applications on the device access to the files. The flash memory on the iPhone isn't so much of a disk or hard drive, as it is a kind of temporary cache memory. The way the iPhone works, all of the real storage of data and heavy processing is supposed to happen on a server that is reached via the Internet. The flash memory is mainly there so that the iPhone can hold a local temporary copy of data that would be too slow or large to constantly stream from the net connection, like program code, sounds and graphics that make up an app's interface, etc. Apple didn't plan to let anyone make native programs for the iPhone in the beginning, so I guess they thought that this wouldn't matter. Later, when people started to make apps, they held on to this model, because, by preventing programs from accessing each other, they thought that they could prevent people from gaining access to protected content. Now, they want the iPad to be able to be used for desktop-like tasks, but, with all of the app isolation, you must jump through hoops to share data that has been created on the device itself. Apple's design choices are usually centered around making computing tasks simple by removing unnecessary choices in order to streamline a task. You lose flexibility, but the result is that, for most people, the program does what they want, with a minimum amount of fuss, and with little or no tech understanding required. They've done such a great job with the App Store, simplifying the processes of paying for, and installing software, down to the point where a complete tecnophobe could do it. iTunes and the iPod simplify the tasks of organizing and working with a music library. However, I find it very funny that, due to their choices, something as fundamental to a computer as word processing, requires all sorts of explanations regarding how to import/export between native format, how to selectively sync content, and how to put documents in to, and take them out of, iTunes on the Mac. Not that there is anything that could help the situation right now, given how locked down the iOS devices are. Anything that requires that you get data from your own devices, rather than a server somewhere, is profoundly frustrating. Think of the people making the Daisy players for iOS. Most players need only that you copy a book from your computer to a memory card, and put that card in to the player. With iOS devices, it is necessary to explain to people about how they must get both devices on to the same Wi-Fi network, but not just any public wi-fi network, but a private wi-fi network that allows intra-client communication. Then, they need to download, install, and learn to use an FTP client, connecting to the iOS device using a long code (an IP address), that they must listen to on the device and type in to their computer. That isn't too bad for tech types. For most people that buy an iOS device for its simplicity, and have no problem accomplishing most tasks, talking about special wi-fi networks, ftp clients, IP addresses, and other junk is enough to make them say "why bother. I'll get a Victor Reader or Book Sense". In these cases, the iOS device is losing out because it is too complicated. While I know that the main motivation for the iOS devices working this way is for security, the conspiracy theorist in me says that this inability to easily use your own content is not such an accident. It makes everyone a lot more money if you must pay to get what you want from the cloud, rather than using what you already have. Of course, techy users can find ways to partially use their content on the new devices, but non-techy users will often decide that it is just too complicated, and that they'd rather be doing other things with their time. Also, some of us wouldn't need to keep and maintain so many huge personal collections, if we could get what we want from the cloud.

Tactile feedback update
Hi list, Just an update on a technology i follow very closely which will provide tactile feedback to the touchscreens to come: http://www.senseg.com/technology/faq/ The whole concept is awesome, and it makes me lack sleep because i keep thinking of ideas and applications to go with it. Just imagine feeling like you are touching the bark on a tree on your iphone's screen or ipad for that matter. Couple it with a very distinct 3D audio environment laid out in classic 3D and a few very good storylines and you have a great 3D audio game specifically for the blind. My dream since the start of my blind adventure has been to convert classic titles such as Secret of monkey island to such a platform. Tests are still very heavy at our studio like integrating acapella libraries into a 3rd party 3d engine for the iphone/ipad, but we have gone pretty far with the script, and if this above technology with haptics can be realised soon, its a step closer :) "Light has no value without darkness" blog: http://www.theblindsamurai.com twitter: http://www.twitter.com/triple7 Tel: +64 210 22 77 190 -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "MacVisionaries" group.

I believe you can navagate through edit fields but you cannot navagate through or too apps. You cannot use vo commands but editing is much easier.

Re: Bluetooth keyboards and the IPhone
They are. Sighteed people can look at the screen and touch what they want and then move there hand back to the keyboard to continu typing. I'm not sure contacting apple accessibility is a good idea about this.

Re: blue tooth on iPad
Hi Simon, Most of the discussion about Bluetooth headsets for the iPhone and other idevices has taken place on the viphone list. I have an iPod Touch and iPad, but followed with interest the earlier list discussion at the end of last year about the firmware upgradability of the BlueAnt Q1 headset to support stereo A2DP, which allows both VoiceOver to be heard, as well as turn-by-turn direction announcements in GPS navigation apps that use this feature. So I set up a BlueAnt Q1 headset last November for someone who was not using an Apple iPhone, but was thinking that he might get one at a later date. The Q1 is another single ear headset, and a successor to the V1, which was BlueAnt's first voice controlled Bluetooth headset. They made the design more ergonomic with a slightly curved shape instead of the straight bar of the V1, and also introduced a few small improvements in the Voice Control menus -- mainly for speed dialing. However, the major difference was designing the Q1 so that it could take firmware upgrades, and then giving it support for A2DP through the upgrade. There is also now a BlueAnt T1 headset, which also takes firmware upgrades, and which has A2DP built in. One warning is that the software updates must all currently be done under Windows -- the Mac version of the firmware update has shown up as being in the works for about 8 months now. My guess is that when the iPad update is released for OS 4 (or iOS 4, as the version for the iPhone and iPod Touch is called), your BlueAnt V1 might be recognized by the iPad, but without VoiceOver, so you could use it for Skype calls then. The software update is supposed to come out in September. I did some searching to check whether the Jawbone Icon that Scott Howell uses for his iPhone (with the new A2DP update) would work on the iPad. Here's what I found in the Jawbone support forums, where most people seemed to like the A2DP update for iPhone use, but said this could be improved or added to for use with the iPad and other devices: Thanks for the update with A2DP. NIce feature but is not complete yet in my opinion. This function its working only with the phones. I did some tests with a laptop : works very fine without the new update A2DP especially with windows 7 (same features like a phone when you use VOIP). I used skype. The situation changed when I did the update: the volume decreased, quality low, press and hold it doesn't work . iphone : works very fine with the new update A2DP and it's an improvement. Sound is a little bit low but it can be increased with press and hold, but is stereo . iPad apple : it doesn't work without the A2DP update (it's not pairing and it doesn't see the icon on dicovery mode). After the update it's working but the sound is low and press and hold is not working. The ipad also doesn't recognize the mic so you can't talk direct to icon. However you can listen music when you navigate on web and it's stereo. I didn't try it on a Mac , because i dont have it yet. There was a later software update, and the recent comments: The icon seems to work with the iPad but now won't pair to my phone. :-( then: Duh Got it to pair - but now I'd like to add my name to the volume and pause requests! Need more volume and PLEASE enable the ability to pause playback... My other bluetooth headset works w/pause but I'd like to retire it for the Jawbone.. So, it sounds to me as though on of the BlueAnt headsets (Q1 or T1) might be a better choice for your iPad. HTH.

RE: blue tooth on iPad
Hi esther, Thanks a lot for this information, it's greatly appreciated. I had been looking at different things about the blueant q1, but couldn't find a lot on using it with the pad and skype. Especially with skype. but this information, I had gotten the impression the q1 was the device to focus on more. So I'll look at tracking one down I think. Although they don't appear to be available here in nz yet.

Re: Mail and Gmail
Hi Linda, I have Gmail also. I don't know if this helps, but isn't there a setting when you set up your Gmail in AppleMail that asks whether you want to keep a copy of the messages on the server? Maybe I'm thinking of Windows, but I thought it worked the same way on the Mac. I don't remember if I had archiving turned on or not when I set up my Gmail account on here. I remember though that the messages were showing up in my inbox and then in my Gmail inbox. I deleted the messages from the inbox and recreated the Gmail account. I think the setting you might not want to click is sync Gmail account. I think that is what does the archiving but I'm not sure. I'm so sorry I couldn't be of more help. Have a great day.

Re: Home sharing
Hi Julie, Yes, I usedto use JFW also, switched to Hal and then finally Window-Eyes. I think the hardest thing for me to get used to is that you have to interact with an element in order to get more info. In my mind, I have mapped the mac keys to their Windows equivalents. For example, command is akin to the alt, option and control is equal to the Windows Logo key or menu key I think it's called. Vo Spacebar is the equivalent of enter, and VO shift down arrow is the equivalent of routing the JFW cursor. I don't know if that helps any but that's how I think of it. I hope I have helped. Please let me know if you need more. There are people on this list who are way more accomplished than I and I'm sure would be better equipped to help you. But I thought I'd jump in and offer my two cents. I also have an Iphone, not the 4, 3GS butI love it. I used to use a Nokia E71X with Mobile Speak. I love the Iphone so much more. Yes, I too love supporting Apple's accessibility out of the box, it levels the playing field for all of us. Have a great day! Allison My birds are winged blessings, they help me soar!

Voice over voice messed up
Hi there, My name is Gena. I just jointed this group and am just learning to use a MAC. I somehow changed the settings on my voiceover voice so it sounds strange. I did find intonation, verbosity, pitch, volumn etc. but i can't get it to sound the original way. Please let me know if you know how to get it back to the original settings Thanks, Gena -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "MacVisionaries" group.

Re: Voice over voice messed up
Hi Gena, Yu can do one of two things to get back to normal. You can hit option control command and left arrow till you get to the voice selection menu. Or you can hit option control F8 and configure it in VO Utilities. I hope that helps. I did that too when I first got my Mac. Allison My birds are winged blessings, they help me soar!

Re: Home sharing
HI Julie, I think the equivalent of my computer would be the finder window on the dock. It has all the drives and devices on it. Or you can use spotlight to search for things that way as well. I listened to several podcasts on the Mac by Mike Arrigo, and then on the Australian Mac podcast. I think they are called Vision Australia. I hope that helps.

Re: Voice over voice messed up
Hi Allison, Thank you for the info. I did do the thing with the left arrow but it never said what normal was. It just gave me a lot of options such as %s for each category and I don'tknow what the original settings are/were. Any other thoughts, please let me know. I appreciate it.
