Printing envelopes from the Address Book [was Re: Using Drag and Drop in VoiceOver]
Hi Paul and Sarah, Is there any reason why you don't want to just use the print dialog from Address Book to print envelopes? Unless you need to match a specific format template for Pages, I would just select an entry from my address book (or, if you want to print multiple envelopes, either select a group in your Address Book or do a general set of non- contiguous selections and create a group from the "File" menu options of Address Book's menu bar), then bring up the print dialog with Command+P and set the "Style" pop up button to "Envelopes". Anne Robertson gave step by step instructions on how to do this in an archived list post: http://www.mail-archive.com/discuss%40macvisionaries.com/msg45300.html (Re: Addressing envelopes with Voiceover) You can also change the pop up button to print "Mailing Labels" instead. I know this isn't an answer to how to use VoiceOver's drag and drop, but since I wouldn't use this to print envelopes unless the default method of printing envelopes were inadequate I've simply pointed you to instructions on how to print envelope addresses in general. Note that if you want to choose specific fonts that you can also do that from the controls in the print dialog, so unless there is a very specific envelope template that you have to use in Pages, or you have custom designed envelope logos, etc. that can only be used in Pages I don't see why you are making more work for yourself. I've changed the subject line (from using drag and drop to printing envelopes from address book) to reflect the content of this answer. If you have another question that requires using VoiceOver's drag and drop, we can return to that subject. HTH. Cheers, Esther On Oct 1, 2010, Sarah Alawami wrote: I can't get it work at all.

Re: some general question
Hi, You wrote: > "2. How do I get Voiceover to read the entire row of a table without first > navigating to it and pressing VO+r? The reason for this is I would like all > Mail message information spoken rather than just the date or subject line; > and I would like it to do so without excessive arrowing." You can stop interacting with the messages table and use the up and down arrows to move between messages, hearing all the information for each message as you move to it. Interacting offers some powerful features, but by it's nature doesn't offer a very good overview. So, simply stop interacting and you should get the behavior you are looking for. "3. DOes there exist a way to quickly check status items such as the date/time without first pressing ctrl+F8 and arrowing around the "extras"? This isn't really a huge deal, I'm just wondering." There is, but it requires a little bit of overhead on your part. You need to set up the keyboard commander and turn apple script on in voiceover. Then you can assign keys to check things such as the time and date. There's a complete step-by- step somewhere in the archives.

Safari frusterations!
Hello everyone, I am working on a Mac book pro in win 7. Unfortunately I keep finding myself having to do this. Part is my inability to completely grasp voice over in a really efficient way. However I feel to a larger part I cannot get the functionality that I find necearry to complete my work and university assignments. For example last night I was searching for information on a pelit stove that I am working on. I found a good and very informative site, however the mouse over functions were completely crazy. Nothing was folloing a sequence that I could replicate, finally just by clicking on every mouse over on the page all of the information was displayed. I went into windows and discovered that the site was solid. This is only one event. I very frequently find that this is occurring even in google of all places. Many times the heading hot key does not function properly. Can you tell me if you guys are running into similar frustrations? I find similar troubles with the need for a good word processor and spreadsheet application. I will not go into details right now, but I too am questioning how long before we can expect a bit more stability and a solid tool for productivity? I love the sleek design and form factor in the mac, however I am not seeing the craze and mysticism that many folks are embuing the machines with. I have found the hardware just as pron to wear and tare and failer as on a PC. I will stop my rant and I really appoligize if I have offended anyone, that was certainly not my intentions. I just want a bit of a reality check. Sincerely, Scott -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "MacVisionaries" group.

Pages accessibility
Hello. I am learning to use Pages. So far, I have found two accessibility issues. First, when I use tiered numbering in a document, Voice Over doesn't read the paragraph numbering. In order for me to see them I have to export the document to Microsoft Word. My goal is to use Pages instead of Microsoft Word. So can you check with the Pages team and let me know when this problem will be addressed? Is it on their roadmap? If not, please make it happen in the next version. 2. Tables are not accessible from within full screen view. Please make it happen in the next version. You have done a very nice job with accessibility but if you want Blind people to take your products seriously you need to make the entire IWork Suite accessible and do it quickly. Please do whatever you can to make this happen. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "MacVisionaries" group.

Re: Using Drag and Drop in VoiceOver Every body email Accessibility about Drag & drop being broken in Snow Leopard!!
Hi Sarah, So far here is what I have received from apple about drag & droping. It works in Leopard I know this because I use it every day on my G5. On my Mac Pro running Snow Leopard 10.6.4 It is currently broken. But I have heard of some people on the list using it in various applications. i think. as of now for my needs its whacked out!!! Let them know @ apple about this and may be it will get fixed quicker. Below is the response from apple about drag & drop. Good morning Chuck, I heard back from engineering this morning and they are currently aware of some issues when trying to drag and drop items while using VoiceOver, including the behavior you described. They are currently looking into how the behavior can be fixed and improved, but unfortunately we can not provide an ETA for when the changes will be available. It will be released as a software update to the operating system once it is complete. If I hear anything further or get an ETA I will be sure to pass that along to you.

Re: Printing envelopes from the Address Book [was Re: Using Drag and Drop in VoiceOver]
I actually use the mini envelopes, the ones you can buy in bulk at office max. Not sure if a printer will take those especially mine because of the flap. I don't print many envelopes though so I might be wrong saying my printer will only take the 8 by 11 envelopes.

Fixing iTunes
Hi guys: On my Windows PC before getting iTunes, I had each artist, and album in their own folders. I imported the music to iTunes, on my Mac,and my albums are all screwed up due to the way iTunes tags music. If I search by albums, 1 album could have 3 songs listed, and the other 7 could be in folders by themselves with different titles, I.E. individual artist, various artists, etc. There is no way to rip the cd's again.

Re: switching from bootcamp to fusion
Hi, It has to be all or nothing. This is because using bootcamp you have actually physically partitioned the disk with those space allocations. Regular virtual machines are just a file on your mac OS partition that shrinks or expands, but mostly expands, based on the needs of your guest operating system.

splitting a file containing a full cd?
Hello there. I have a .flac file that i want to convert from flac to .mp3, that can easily be done on the mac, but the file contains a full cd, and there's a cue sheet with the file, so that you can make cds from the file, but i want each track on the cd in a separate .mp3 file. Is there a tool for the mac that does this? neither switch or max can seem to do it. what do you audio gurus use out there? thanks in advance. /Krister -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "MacVisionaries" group.

Re: Fixing iTunes
Hi Sarai! If I get what you mean I've had the same thing the only suggestion I can make is... If the album has a lot of different artists and has split into different albums with just 1 or 2 artists you'll have to go to info [command+i ] and find the [ part of a compilation ] check box and check it, for each track and then press ok at the end of each info page! When you have done each track it will pull them together under 1 album, under various artists! Also my [ personal choice ] some of my albums have an artist on just one of the tracks who is not the main artist, and also gets put in there own album! What I do there is go to info again and edit the artist field and remove the guest artist then scroll down and press ok then that 1 track ends up back in the main album! The one missing thing is you can do multi info changes but unfortunately selecting part of a compilation is not one of them [ shame ] it would make life easier :-] Unless someone else knows something better! please let me know as well!

Re: Fixing iTunes
Hi Colin, I just went through this process a few days ago, in fact I had a large number of compilation albums to fix in this way. It is possible to select all of the tracks in an album, bring up the track info dialog and set the "part of a compilation" checkbox. It will apply to all of the selected tracks. I didn't see it at first, but that was because I almost didn't notice that the setting was on a different tab of the dialog. It was quite easy at that point. Just wanted to let you know that it does work. Justin On Oct 2, 2010, at 9:08 AM, Colin M wrote: Hi Sarai! If I get what you mean I've had the same thing the only suggestion I can make is...

When you have done each track it will pull them together under 1 album, under various artists! Also my [ personal choice ] some of my albums have an artist on just one of the tracks who is not the main artist, and also gets put in there own album! What I do there is go to info again and edit the artist field and remove the guest artist then scroll down and press ok then that 1 track ends up back in the main album! The one missing thing is you can do multi info changes but unfortunately selecting part of a compilation is not one of them [ shame ] it would make life easier :-] Unless someone else knows something better! please let me know as well!

followup to the question about splitting a file containing a cd.
Hi. I tried amadeus, as someone here suggested to split the flac file containing a full cd into smaller files containing one file per track, but to no avail. the accompanying cue sheet file could be seen but not opened and the music file dident contain any markers. any other suggestions? /Krister -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "MacVisionaries" group.

Re: Safari frusterations!
reality check cashed. I have had a few "limitation" problems with voiceover (especially as far as live chat sessions are concerned). part of the problem with some websites is that they force a reload every few seconds and that trips up voiceover (I have encountered this already). Another problem is some websites do not use headers for their info, thus you are forced to hop from link to link to get your info. Frames are a bit easier to handle but not always do they work. I haven't tried the latest openoffice. I had a version or 2 back that worked nicely with voiceover. I wish we had some more features that could be switched in for active chats and live scrolling web pages (irc style chats). fyi, the following apps do not work with voiceover at all: mozilla thunderbird mozilla firefox virtualbox (however tts systems inside the VM work perfectly well) I still have problems with sky[pe for OS X, but I have a workaround for the live chat screens. I simply go into the html area (VO+shift+down arrow) page down to the end, VO+shift+F3 to turn off cursor tracking. then VO+end to read the last message (having the skype chime on for last message received allows you to know when a message has arrived) and then you just hit enter to type in the edit box as normal. you will have to hit VO+end every time a new message appears but this works. -Eric On Oct 2, 2010, at 6:02 AM, Scott Ford wrote: > Hello everyone, > I am working on a Mac book pro in win 7.

Re: Safari frusterations!
Hi! I think you're getting a bit confused here. :) VoiceOver isn't supposed to update itself. It actually works really well with dynamic HTML areas, even live chats. You have to go to the last item yourself because that is because you're expected to interact just as much as a sighted user would. If I understand you correctly, you expect it to read automatically which isn't going to happen unless you make an AppleScript, I suppose. Or you could use Growl in Skype.

I think what he is saying there is that sometimes vo interupts itself and you cannot get back to what you were reading as it will scrol and turning off curser tracking will prevent this.

Re: Safari frusterations!
Hi! Perhaps, though Skype doesn't scroll. The only things that will do this are webpages that automatically update, though that only happens in certain elements and not in all places. I'm not sure if Cursor tracking would fix this, as you have to keep in mind that VoiceOVer is the one updating the content so you know what's going on. As for Mozilla applications, there's a good reason that they don't work. The short of it is basically that they plan to add support to VoiceOver in future releases, though they're still working on that part.

Re: Safari frusterations!
hadn't considered growl for skype. as for a live chat html page, I used to be able to use them when my eyes were working (even minimally as they were) without a great deal of interaction (just typing and reading). I find I can't function that way given voiceover's limitations. take a look at the kingdom of loathing main screen (if you don't have a player in that game, its free to create one). the chat pain is live chat, but I can't seem to get voiceover to behave very well on it (it ;oops on "loading chat" and then won't read the last line). I am trying a new method that seems to work ok with skype and adium. if it works with live chat html pages, then I am gold. if not, I am not sure what else to do. -Eric On Oct 2, 2010, at 1:52 PM, Nicolai Svendsen wrote: > Hi! > > I think you're getting a bit confused here. :) > > VoiceOver isn't supposed to update itself.

Speaking of Safari and Google
Good day all. So I have a question concerning accessing google through Safari, but thought it might stray a little off topic from the thread currently running. Now I am a newbie to the mac world, so this may be sheer ignorance on my part, but might anyone have some idea as to why I cannot access my search results in google? I haven't noticed this problem on other websites as of yet, but when performing a search in google, I find that the links that would normally be available to me to click on are listed only as headers, followed by an unlabeled button, followed by the brief blurb from the website I wish to access. Being I use google for most of my web search needs, this is highly annoying. I don't know if there is some nifty trick I need to perform with voiceover to make it happen, or if my search results are simply inaccessible. There is always a link present to click on google's cached version of the page, but not for the page itself. Thank you in advance for any assistance you can offer!

Hi Jenny! Try hitting VO-Space on the heading. The link should be contained within the heading. My VoiceOVer announces "Heading Level 2 Link". At least, that's how Google usually should work. That way, you vcan jump from result to result by heading with VO-COmmand-H.

Use of external keypad, particularly with Fusion?
Hi, I've been working on getting both Linux and Windows 7 VMs working as I want within Fusion. I've of course hit the frustrations of keyboard mappings due to the lack of a numeric keypad on the Macbook. Though the work-arounds are probably going to be functional I can see me getting frustrated during long sessions. So I'm wondering if anyone has used any USB or Bluetooth numeric keypads with a Mac? Several are Mac compatible and though I'm pretty sure they'll work fine for numeric entry I do wonder how well the key codes will be interpreted if I'm simultaneously using the insert on the keypad as a modifier along with keys on the keyboard. Even more exciting when considering this being passed to a VM. Or do I just say screw it and buy a wireless keyboard that includes a numeric keypad, though those seem harder to find.

jawbone icon site for updating firmware weird bhaviour
Hi list, I am trying to update my jawbone icon's firmware and i get weird behaviour from the jawbone site, when i try clicking on the details for installation and other functions. Also, i don't know how to pair the jawbone to my mac as the pairing process requires something i am not aware of, though i've tried all three pairing options. And what mystifies me is that i used to hear voice over on the set on my previous pairing but now i get nothing out of the set when connected to my iphone 4 firmware 4.1 Here is the link to the page, in case i've got the wrong one: http://mytalk.jawbone.com/jb2/mytalk/main;jsessionid=D86D03EE45583A2250C2F7E6E53E1CA7 Any help on this matter would be greatly appreciated.

Re: Speaking of Safari and Google
Thanks for the response. While I am familiar with how to activate a link, the problem appears to be that Safari simply doesn't seem to recognize the area I need to activate as a link. Therefore, using VO +space does nothing. I don't know, seeing as how not many people are familiar with this particular issue, I am beginning to wonder if it could have anything to do with the version of OS I am running. This machine has OS 10.56, which is certainly not the latest and greatest. Jenny -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "MacVisionaries" group.

Re: Speaking of Safari and Google
Hi Nic, Well, the odd thing is, the headers never say "link." They do announce themselves as headings, but nothing more. That is to say, it will say "heading level 3", followed by the name of the heading, but it's not clickible at all.

Re: facebook chat
I have been unable to use chat directly, but I use al alternative client called adium (http://www.adium.im/) it works with yahoo chat, icq, facebook, google chat and others. it is also easy to setup and will even setup growl along with the client. This client is also bonjour compatible. believe me, trying to get facebook chat to work with voiceover is a nightmare. I highly recommend use of this third party application. -Eric On Oct 2, 2010, at 5:41 PM, Laura Bratton wrote: > Hi All, > Is Facebook chat accessible? if so how do you use it? > Thanks, > Laura > > -- > You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups > "MacVisionaries" group. > To post to this group, send email to macvisionar...@googlegroups.com. > To unsubscribe from this group, send email to > macvisionaries+unsubscr...@googlegroups.com. > For more options, visit this group at > http://groups.google.com/group/macvisionaries?hl=en. > Eric Oyen - N7ZZT Phoenix Arizona Geocode: 33.488462 -112.234926 N33° 29.3077', W112° 14.0956' -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "MacVisionaries" group.

Re: Safari frusterations!
Google works fine here, that site that ses the mouse over stuff is doable, but you have to root the mouse to the element, then read with the VO keys to see whathas changed, the best solution here is to email the web master and ask them to use something more accessible, using mouse over events can cause problems for any screen reader.

Re: Speaking of Safari and Google
Hi Genny, I don't know what might be different in OSX10.5, but here are some things you can try. This is all totally guesswork though. I haven't seen this on google, but I have experienced other situations where things that should have been clickable were not, and this trick helps sometimes. While focused on the heading, try interacting with it. Since the link element is inside the header element, this older voiceover may need to interact with the heading to see it. If that does not work, you could try running a nightly build of webkit. This will include the newer accessibility fixes that made it into the version of safari that came with OSX 10.6 and then some. Since it's a development version, there's always a chance of instability but the recent builds work fine for me. If it's a safari problem, this will solve it. If it's something wrong with the older voiceover itself then it won't help. The address for the nightly webkit builds is http://nightly.webkit.org Hope you get this working.

Re: pairing a braillenote with the mac?
Hi Carolyn, I hope Voc Rehab comes through for you. THey will get you the Ipad or just the BrailleNote Apex? THe Braillino is a notetaker and Braille display combined in to one. Kind of like the Apex, but with less cells. It's a 20-cell, and doesn't have speech. It can be paired with the Mac, Ipad I'm sure, Iphone, and many other things. I believe it has a CD that allows you to transfer things from it Via USB to a computer. If I didn't need to type so many things at work, like forms I would opt for the Braille display myself. I hope that the trend will be Ipads, Iphones and Ipods with the Braille display hooked to them. THe Braillino is manufactured by Handytech. I think their website is: http://www.handytech.us Good luck with Voc Rehab. THey dragged their feet about the Braillino, but the BrailleNote I had died. THe display went after two years.

Re: Speaking of Safari and Google
Hi Allison. Thanks for the suggestion. Actually, I had tried VO+U, and for some reason, it still would not allow me to select the heading or link I desired. Very strange animal, this mac.

Re: facebook chat
Hi. I myself find facebook chat to be very accessible. Just go to your facebook page, and then click on the link that says that (There will probably be a number after the word chat) Then just keep scrolling down, and you should find a list of your friends who are online. Sometimes they will read out the code of the display pictures that your friends have on the facebook page before they actually read out the name of the person you are trying to access. Give it time though, and you could use it. Justclick on the person's name who you wish to start a chat with, and you will be placed in to an edit box. Just type what you want to say and press enter. Once you hear a popping sound, it means someone has sent you a message. just go to the top of the page, and it will have all the links to the chats you have open. Click on the person name, and you will be placed in to the edit box. Have a look round nere by, and it should display heading with the dylog of the conversation. HTH, James.

Justin, Thanks for taking the time to respond. Thankfully, it looks like interacting with the heading does the trick. I will need to play with it a bit more, but hopefully this will have taken care of the problem. Thank you!

Re: jumping to next line of text with voiceover?
If you are talking about the ability to move down to the next line while reading continuously, then the answer is no, you can't do that with Voice Over so far as I am aware. It would be a nice thing to be able to do. Makes skimming articles sort of possible.

Pdf2rtf service
Hi all, Recently, there was a mention of something called Word Service. I went looking for it and found something even more useful on the same site. It's called pdf2rtf service. This service allows you to open pdf files in textedit. I find preview to be usable, but not always very intuitive. My professor makes notes available for each lecture as powerpoint files. I export them to pdf using Keynote from the iwork suite, then I open the pdf in textedit. Now not only do I have the notes, but I can quickly insert my own notes if I hear something during the lecture that I think could be important. I'm pretty sure you can't do that in preview. Here's the link for the download page. Strangely, instead of just copying the address, if I press vo-shift-m and select copy link, it actually copies the original link from the site. Must have been introduced in a recent nightly. Hopefully it's clickable. Download all our freeware apps and services here Hope someone else finds this discovery useful. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "MacVisionaries" group.

growl
Hi all, Recently in some discutions on this list I have herd a mention of growl, I do have it installed on my mac but it interferes with skype when a new message appears, a growl dialog will pop up and won't let me read for some seconds.

Transmit ftp. Not free, but fairly accessible.

Re: Speaking of Safari and Google
Yes, You need to interact with the headers in order to activate the links in your google search. I really recommend upgrading to Snow Leopard 10.6. Your really missing out on a lot of functionality in terms of getting around the web. It would be $30 well spent in my opinion. hth On Oct 2, 2010, at 9:52 PM, Jenny Wood wrote: > Justin, > > Thanks for taking the time to respond.

Re: jumping to next line of text with voiceover?
You can move from line to line of text, up and down a page as in a word processor with the arrow keys. But you can't, as far as I am aware, start continuous reading with vo plus a and then press a key to quit reading the line you are on and move to the next line and have continuous reading resume as you can do with Jaws and Window Eyes. Its the moving while continuous reading is in progress that is the sticking point here. If I'm wrong, I'd love to be enlightened, because this is a feature I miss on the Mac that's been around in the Windows screen reading environment for a while now.

Re: password protecting documents
Hi Laura, what you could do, if you wanted to password protect a document, or a set of documents, is use disk utility to created an incripted .dmg file. Disk utility is foun under /applications/utilities. Open it, and you'll find options under a new submenu uner hte file menu for createing disk images. YOu can create one from a folder, or create a blank one, and put files in it as you want. Hope this helps. .
