You can if you have to, but that's a pretty band-aid solution.  Much like 
k1000.  I always do a little ughch sort of thing to myself whenever a piece of 
mail arrives and I have to open my decrepit windows xp virtual machine just to 
get kurzweil to tell me what the thing is.  Fine reader express is a write off 
in my opinion.  I've played with it extensively and can make it work in a 
pinch, but I wouldn't recommend it to my clients.  So k1000, and it's 
accustomed little mental cringe as my vm opens are the way to go for now, but 
only until something better comes along.

Re: any way to send .brf files to my juliette?

Actually, the drivers aren't in duxbury, they are generic/text only drivers for 
windows.

If you can get your juliet plugged in and working, you should be able to send 
your translated file directly to your juliet for printing.  I've been trying to 
figure out how this works myself because I want to be able to support it, but I 
don't have the setup to work on.

Re: Changing voice on Iphone for Mark

2010-11-09 Thread Allison Manzino

Hi Mark,

How are you? You're most welcome for the help I was happy to assist. I hope you 
have a wonderful time  exploring the Iphone at the Apple store. I think it's 
going to be a wonderful experience for you. There are many apps on the Iphone 
that have changed my life like Navigon and Digit-Eyes leading to my greater 
independence. Yay to that! I learned something today about changing the 
international voice settings, I will try going in to the langauge roder and 
change to Karen rather than changing to australia. I learn something new 
everyday on this list. Have a great day.

Musically,
Allison

Virtual cursor of some sort in OS X

2010-11-09 Thread RvR

Hi everyone,

Tried to search the archives for this, probably didn't choose the correct
keywords cause I couldn't find what I needed. So I try my luck with this
message.

A while back I asked about creating hotspots and I remember Anne answering
it is only possible in areas which Voice Over can detect and then label.
That's loud and clear for me, but now wonder if this also means there is no
virtual cursor of some sort like there is in Jaws etc? What I would like to
do is to look around a popup screen or dialog window for example for text
which VO doesn't say.

Tia for your input!

 

Sincerely,

Ronald

Hi Marlaina,

I was also disappointed to learn this when I started using my Mac.  
Unfortunately, I don't have an answer for you, but I wanted to suggest that you 
write to Duxbury.  Knowing that there are those of us out there who would like 
to see a Mac version, might hopefully encourage them to move forward with 
developing one.

it is. I haven't googled it, but I think Erik said it allows you to create BrF

Apple Mail and Google

2010-11-09 Thread Linda Adams

Hi everyone,

Today I noticed my top  level Gmail  mailbox was collapsed.  When I expanded it 
I found over 6,000 messages in my "All Mail" folder.  Of course, the very same 
messages had already been in my Inbox or my Macvisionaries mail box and had 
already been read and deleted. 

Is there a way to delete all of them in one fell swoop.  When I switched to 
thread mode, there are still over 1,000.  I checked the menus and elsewhere but 
found nothing to empty a specific mailbox?  

  Also, is it possible to just prevent messages going to 2 mailboxes at the 
same time or  delete this "All Mail" mailbox or is that not advisable?

As always, thanks for your information and advice.

Linda

Re: any way to send .brf files to my juliette?

The only problem with getting duxbury systems to develop...  Well, there are a 
few actually.

One, they've got nothing and would have to start from scratch.  That would be 
fine, except we've already got louis and IBraille.  IBraille is probably only 
going to work with index embossers if they ever get off their asses and update 
it, but at least the groundwork is done.

Louis looks great except for one thing.  I can't find any documentation on it.  
That's not so good, but if I can ever get my head around it, it should work 
with a wide range of embossers, as well as intergrating with text edit and 
other mac software.  So that's not useless once we figure out how to use it.

Two, duxbury systems is going to want to charge the earth for translation 
software.  They are still back in the dark ages of technology and assuming that 
governments and rehab agencies will continue to fund outrageously expensive 
technologies indefinitely.  Fact of the matter is, computer funding here in 
Ontario just got cut in half, and in two years time funding for major windows 
screen readers is more than likely going to be either severely restricted or 
cut altogether thanks to the effectiveness of systems like mac OS, vinux, and 
NVDA.

I'm not really hip to the idea of duxbury systems starting now and spending two 
or three years on development only to see funding slashed and have 80 percent 
of our blind people end up unable to afford it.  I think we should make what we 
have work, since the development has already been done and the solutions are 
either free or low cost.  That's why a lot of us switched to mac after all.  We 
were tired of getting soaked for thousands of dollars on proprietary reading 
and writing aids when off the shelf systems are working just as well nowadays.

 Mary,

 I got the fattest 11 inch air I could get with 128 gb storage and 4gb
 memory.  Apple makes a great product, but you pay for it but then again,
 you get what you pay for.  So when I purchase an apple device, I only do
 it if I can get the most I can for what I want.  I concur, 64 GB is
 hardly enough.  Now the 13 incher goes up to 256 G; LOL I just wrote K
 instead of GB; hmmm, do you think I am tired from travel?

 I just cannot say enough about this Air!  but just as in the windows
 world a netbook is sexy, it might not be for everyone.  However, it
 surely is for me.

 I will find out more about methodologies for updating the OS; I'm not
 concerned, because I still have a macBook Pro to which I can hook the
 Air, but I realize I am unique perhaps in that, so I will find out and
 let folks know what I learn unless somebody else already knows how to do
 it for sure.

 I'd be curious if others' experiences with the bluetooth keyboard and
 the
 IPad mirrored yours. What keyboard were you using? Did you say you got
 the air with just 64gb of storage? Or did you upgrade? the price goes up
 mighty fast when you do that, but 64gb doesn't seem sufficient.

Re: any way to send .brf files to my juliette?

Ok, my Juliette is on a network so I can wirelessly print to it.  So are you 
suggesting I should look for it on my network from my air, then go to a brf 
file and do a print and be sure Juliet is selected?

If you can get your juliet plugged in and working, you should be able to send 
your translated file directly to your juliet for printing.  I've been trying to 
figure out how this works myself because I want to be able to support it, but I 
don't have the setup to work on.

  Hi everyone,

  Today I noticed my top  level Gmail  mailbox was collapsed.  When I expanded 
it I found over 6,000 messages in my "All Mail" folder.  Of course, the very 
same messages had already been in my Inbox or my Macvisionaries mail box and 
had already been read and deleted. 

  Is there a way to delete all of them in one fell swoop.  When I switched to 
thread mode, there are still over 1,000.  I checked the menus and elsewhere but 
found nothing to empty a specific mailbox?  

Also, is it possible to just prevent messages going to 2 mailboxes at the 
same time or  delete this "All Mail" mailbox or is that not advisable?

  As always, thanks for your information and advice.

Well, you could read it on your braille display, although you could just as 
easily read a text file on your braille display.  That's how I do it.  I find 
braille display more comfortable, but that's just me.

Re: Apple Mail and Google

2010-11-09 Thread David Hole


Hi Linda.
I'll just add that the reason for this "All Mail"-folder is that this 
folder is where all mails ends when you click Archive when using the 
web-interface in gmail.
I don't know how much you know about how gmail handles mail, but in 
short, the folders is known as labels. When a mail is found only in "All 
Mail", it means that it has no labels. Inbox for example, is a label, 
like the one you have called Macvisionaries when using Google terminology.

Re: garage band 11 some simple step by steps?

2010-11-09 Thread Slau Halatyn

Keep in mind, also, that there's a hardware controller specifically made for 
GarageBand which, I think, is made by M-Audio but I don't recall for sure. At 
any rate, it used to be sold in the Apple Store so there would be a good place 
to look first. Its layout is modeled after the GarageBand interface and it's 
just a little quicker to reach for a hardware control sometimes rather than 
navigating the interface with a screen reader. It's not that expensive either—I 
seem to recall it being somewhere around $99 or even less.

HTH,

Re: any way to send .brf files to my juliette?

No, that won't work.  You need the louis package so that your mac knows what 
the formatting in your brf file actually means.  Although I think their might 
be a way to set things up so that if you had Louis installed you could do a 
translate and emboss on the fly from text edit.  That's just speculation 
though.  I have louis here, but despite the fact that the download page states 
the program contains full documentation, the program isn't more than about 5 or 
10 percent documented at best.

So please clarify for me.  Are you at a point where you can see your juliet 
embosser as a printer on your mac, to where it would actually give you the 
choice to send files to the juliet in text edit?  What little documentation 
there is states very clearly that only serial and bluetooth embossers are 
supported.  USB embossers are not supported.  It makes no mention of devices 
installed as network printers.  My guess is that it won't fly, but I'm not a 
developer, just a lowly computer trainer trying to self-teach with no equipment 
and no documentation.

I   first  received my romeo embosser this past january along with dux berry. i 
 thought it said that it would compatible  with the mack.. i could be wrong but 
if anyone wants  i will look into it further today by calling duxbery myself to

Re: Apple Mail and Google

2010-11-09 Thread Darcy Burnard

Linda, are you using pop or imap with gmail?  If you're using imap, you can 
have gmail just not show you the all mail folder.  I can't remember the name of 
it, but there is a google labs feature you enable that gives you more control 
over what mailboxes are shown with imap.  This is what I did, and I don't see 
the all mail folder.
There's a great article from tidbits on how best to set up gmail with mac mail.
Here is the url.

Re: any way to send .brf files to my juliette?

2010-11-09 Thread heather kd5cbl

If you don't want windows near the apple, perhaps you can buy a cheap 
computer from good will to do this.  That is the only solution besides 
running fusion.  I know they have some cheap computers, think laptops, from 
tiger direct for 50 dollars, crazy!  If that is the only thing you need, 
guess that would do!  Heather

Re: any way to send .brf files to my juliette?

I am downloading Louie right now.
On Nov 9, 2010, at 8:16 AM, erik burggraaf wrote:

No, that won't work.  You need the louis package so that your mac knows what 
the formatting in your brf file actually means.  Although I think their might 
be a way to set things up so that if you had Louis installed you could do a 
translate and emboss on the fly from text edit.  That's just speculation 
though.  I have louis here, but despite the fact that the download page states 
the program contains full documentation, the program isn't more than about 5 or 
10 percent documented at best.

So please clarify for me.  Are you at a point where you can see your juliet 
embosser as a printer on your mac, to where it would actually give you the 
choice to send files to the juliet in text edit?  What little documentation 
there is states very clearly that only serial and bluetooth embossers are 
supported.  USB embossers are not supported.  It makes no mention of devices 
installed as network printers.  My guess is that it won't fly, but I'm not a 
developer, just a lowly computer trainer trying to self-teach with no equipment 
and no documentation.

problem moving files to another folder

I once had this problem solved, but now I cannot seem to accomplish moving a 
file from one folder to another.  I copy the file I want, navigate to the 
folder I want, navigate into that folder and try to paste and all I get is 
either a message asking me if I want to replace the one I currently have, or a 
second copy of the same file located just above the first file but with the 
word copy added to its name.  As I say, I did figure this out once but now I'm 
stuck.  Can anyone help?

how to send an brf file to my juliet:

hi eric, marlin, sara and alison:

I wanted to let you all know that i just got off of the phone with a db 
consultant and they  had explained to e in no uncertain terms that they do not 
have  db for themack at all. also one would ultimately have to put windows on 
the mack in order to use db at all. so that means that everyone that wants to 
use it has to either use their booth camp or purchase fusion  on their mb. i 
hope this helps.
also they explained to me at one time that they did in fact, have a vergin of 
db for the mack but when they went over to mac o.s. 10  that is when they had 
decided to  discontinue it. but they did say that they would be willing to 
create a vergin in the near future for the mack in it  was necessary to do so. 
sincerely, chenelle

Re: problem moving files to another folder


Hi Marlaina,

Do you know about the software product, "MoveAddict"?  It allows you  
to cut and paste files in Finder, and also allows you to merge folders  
instead of replacing them.   This was a MacUpdate promo offer at the  
end of October, and you can still purchase it at a lesser discount for  
$6.49 from the mupromo site for the next 3 and a half days:


http://www.mupromo.com/deal/1330/moveaddict

Here's a link to the MacWorld review of MoveAddict:

http://www.macworld.com/reviews/product/563803/review/moveaddict_151.html

Note that if you purchase from the MacUpdate promo site, you'll need  
to initially create an account, which involves negotiating a CAPTCHA.   
You can go to the Solona web site for tools to help you negotiate this:

Re: acquisition

2010-11-09 Thread John Panarese

  The last time I tried it, it was not.  You can't read any of the 
information about the files either available or that you download.  It shows up 
as tables, but there are a lot of "unknown" areas and very little information 
that makes it even partially usable.  Unless there is a current version that 
has changed things, I was very disappointed.  I was used to using Emule on the 
Windows side, but have yet to find a Mac alternative.

Take Care

Intro - soon to be new MAC user

2010-11-09 Thread Vince Mistretta

Hi all,

Some of you may already recognize me from several other technology
discussion lists and others may not.

Well, I took the plunge last evening and ordered an iMac which
hopefully will be here tomorrow.  After moving over to the apple IOS
platform for communications back this past January, I've been
impressed with Apples commitment to produce more accessibility in
their products.  I made the decision to move to the MAC OSX platform
because of many recent events in the audio and music territory but am
impressed with other new actions coming about like bringing gestures
to navigation to all MAC users.

Unfortunately, I will not be totally leaving the PC/Windows
environment since my job as a Software Development Manager requires me
to use that platform since the agency I work for is strict on it's
standards.  Because of this, I have to keep Windows available at home
- either running under Fusion or on my old run down XP Pro machine or
even both.  I felt it was important for me to move to the MAC at this
time to experience all the new comings from Apple as they come out now
in each release of OSX and versions of software such as the iLife 11
products - particularly GarageBand and it's new found accessibility.

I've joined this group to hopefully learn more about techniques,
available accessible software and maybe get back in touch with some
old aquaintences I noticed are members on this list.

I look forward to learning a new platform and learning from all of you.

Best,
Vince

Hi,

Has anybody tried deleting the DropBox application from the MAC yet?

When I go to the application in the applications folder and choose
the "move to trash" option, I get the message that the program is
open so it can't be trashed.

Now, when I go ahead and do a cmd+o to open it, I get the message
saying that "DropBox has no windows" and I can't do anything to
close the program.

I think that some info is escaping VO, so therefore this question
here on this list.

Could be a general procedure that I am doing wrong here.

Hope to hear from someone who managed to delete the application.

Thanks in advance.

elsewhere), you might be interested in the mPassport series of apps  
that provide medical information for English speakers traveling  
abroad. They provide information on emergency medical services --  
locations and contact information for doctors, dentists, hospitals,  
and pharmacies. Currently, all these apps are free. The information is  
tied in to the GPS functions of your iPhone, so you can locate support  
that is close to you.  Now, even though the locations do not currently  
match your travel destination (e.g. they currently cover Mexico City,  
Lima, Buenos Aires, and Quito), there are some really useful  
functions, one of them being the Medical Translations section.  With  
an internet connection, you can use the links to hear the phrases  
pronounced. However, the rest of the app functions without requiring  
an internet connection, so you can look up either medical phrases or  
medical terms (either under English or Spanish listings) and also  
search for terms under either language. You could simply switch  
VoiceOver to Spanish to listen to the terms pronounced.  And however  
fluent you may be, your Spanish is probably not up to a detailed  
discussion of medical conditions and symptoms!  There's also a history  
function so that you can look up questions or phrases and save them,  
then access them easily when you need to. Even for countries where  
Medical Translations are not available (either because the language is  
English, as in London, or places like Tokyo where they don't have the  
Japanese transcriptions) these guides are very useful because they  
give drug equivalencies.  That means that even if you don't have a  
medical emergency and want access to a list of doctors, dentists, etc.  
(many of whom are checked to speak English), you might want to use  
this app to find an equvalent over the counter drug to buy at a  
pharmacy, and to use the app to find out which pharmacies are near you  
and what their hours are.  The mPassport apps are available  
internationally.  You can read an old review of mine about the first  
mPassport Paris and mPassport London apps:

http://www.mail-archive.com/macvisionaries%40googlegroups.com/msg17672.html
(Accessible traveler's medical apps for iPhone/iPod Touch: mPassport  
Paris and mPassport London, free for limited time)


The main change from the original release is that they made the  
medical translations section use the internet for the spoken phrases  
in order to cut down on the app size, and the apps are now available  
internationally.  There are 26 of them available at present, covering  
all parts of the world.


HTH. Cheers,

Esther

Hi Ester,

Thank you so much for this side-by-side-by-side  review of the three  
apps.

I really appreciate the effort you put into this.

I think you are right that I translate and I speak will likely suit  
my needs
well.  I am actually a fluent Spanish speaker, but sometimes there  
are words

that elude me and it would be great to be able to fill in some gaps as
needed.  I'm traveling to Bolivia this weekend, and was looking for
something that would do this.  The only problem is that these

translation redux]


Hi Dean and Brian,

I haven't wanted to weigh in with a suggestion for a Spanish  
translation

app, since I have only rudimentary knowledge of Spanish, but if you're
looking for a translation app that runs through Google Translate  
(with all
the usual limitations and caveats about machine translation and the  
need to
use this through an internet connection), I can certainly recommend  
a more
accessible alternative, with more features, at least based on my  
reading of
the description of iTranslate - Spanish from Bizmosis, Inc.  I'll  
describe

three apps:
iTranslate -- the universal translator (free, but $1.99 to buy a voice
through in-app purchase to have translations read out with text to
speech) by Sonico GmbH, iSpeak Spanish ($1.99) by FutureApps, and  
Trippo

Voice Translator Plus (free for text-to-text translations, free trial
text-to-speech use for 14 days, extendable by in-app purchase;
$4.99 for permanent license) by Cellictica.  All three are available
internationally, and probably one the first two would be best suited  
for
Brian's translation needs. I'm going to cc this to the  
Macvisionaries list,
since it may be of wider interest, e

WebKit vs. Safari

2010-11-09 Thread Teresa Cochran

Hi folk,

I wanted to bounce a few thoughts around here. I've used both Safari and 
Webkit, and in my own experience, Safari seems much more stable. It does have 
some issues with VO, but those all seem pretty predictable to me, and I can 
work around them by either reloading the page or reloading VO. Webkit seems to 
crash on a fair number of sites, many of which I use often. (NHL, MLB, for 
example).

Does anyone on the list work with the developers and Webkit to post bug 
reports, etc.? As far as I can tell, this would be the only reason I can see 
for using webkit over Safari.

What does anybody think?

Teresa

AppleScript to move files [was Re: problem moving files to another folder]


Hi David,

Yes, I use the original Automator script that Greg Kearney wrote quite  
a long time ago (when he was still in the U.S. and could host a web  
site listing the accessibility of VoiceOver compatible software).   
However, since that site is long gone, your best bet to get a "Move"  
script is to go to the English version of the site of the Italian Mac  
User group that Rossy maintains at:


http://www.universalaccess.it/script-english/

Then get the "move" script.  And speaking of useful AppleScripts that  
are about to go away, if you have not yet picked up the "RestartAt"  
AppleScript that allows you move to an arbitrary time in any iTunes  
track (music, audiobook, podcast, movie, etc.), I would do so now from  
Tim Kilburn's VoiceOver Downloads page at:


http://homepage.mac.com/kilburns/voiceover/downloads.html

before it goes off-line TODAY with all the other original dot Mac  
homepages.  The alternative is browsing in the Mail Archive pages for  
the old list and trying to read, copy, and paste it all from one of my  
very old posts.


Cheers,

Esther

Vinux and Mac OS

2010-11-09 Thread Teresa Cochran

Hi, Folk,

I wouldn't blame someone for insisting this is off-topic, and if so, I 
apologize. I'm trying to find a simple way for Vinux to live on my Mac Mini. 
The live CD is too limited and the audio doesn't seem to work in any case. I 
can't afford Fusion right now, and I've done a free trial already. I'm kind of 
afraid to mess up my hard drive by attempting a dual-boot system with Boot 
Camp, but I will consider it. Using a USB thumb drive would be the most 
appealing to me, but I haven't found a way to create a Mac-bootable disk.

If anyone can give me pointers on their own experiences with any of these 
methods, please contact me offlist if you wish.

Thanks,
Teresa

Re: WebKit vs. Safari

2010-11-09 Thread Nicolai Svendsen

Hi!

I'm on the developers list for Webkit. I'd be curious to see your crash 
reports, as well as extracts from the site which you say causes crashes in 
Webkit.

First, do you remember to update frequently? I have never actually seen Webkit 
crash, and not even on those sites particularly. I have seen it once or twice, 
and I've been using it for more than a year now. I'm curious about your take on 
this, as Safari seems to crash much more than Webkit in my case and seems to 
work harder to render webpages, especially certain element types which have 
been fixed, of course, in Webkit.

Re: blind note takers vs the mack book family products:Hi mary and marlana,

I tend to agree with Scott. An iPad, with a Bluetooth keyboard is much less 
expensive than a blindness specific note taker, and Mike Calvo reviewed a 
particularly nice case on a recent Serotek Podcast.
 An iPad may mostly be a media consumption device for our sighted counterparts, 
but, with the right accessories, it is a viable alternative to overpriced 
blindness specific products.

Most likely you have to make sure you have your cursors focused on the region 
and press control-option-shift-space to mouse click it before you do the 
command-T split.

Hope this helps,

Re: iPhone translation apps [was Re: English-Spanish translation redux]

2010-11-09 Thread Antonio M. Guimaraes Jr.

Hello Esther,

I have downloaded iTranslate, and am unable to switch the from and to 
languages. I only see a typing qwerty and cancel button on the bottom half of 
the screan, and no settings buttons.

The imgSpeakerTouch buttons are dimmed. The same goes for the English and Greek 
buttons. I am only able to do any translation from English to Greek, if any at 
all.

The switch language button is also dimmed, and I am left with something that 
does not function very well at present.

Are there suggestions from you on how to make this work?

Sincerely,

Antonio Guimaraes

Re: how do I click a link in an email message

Hi Marlaina:
Sometimes, a link simply won't work in a message.  When this occurs, best to 
employ the data detector.  Position your cursor at the start of the link, press 
vo-shift-m.  This brings up a context menu which includes open link and several

Hi Marlaina,

Do you know about the software product, "MoveAddict"?  It allows you to cut and 
paste files in Finder, and also allows you to merge folders instead of 
replacing them.   This was a MacUpdate promo offer at the end of October, and 
you can still purchase it at a lesser discount for $6.49 from the mupromo site 
for the next 3 and a half days:

http://www.mupromo.com/deal/1330/moveaddict

Here's a link to the MacWorld review of MoveAddict:

Note that if you purchase from the MacUpdate promo site, you'll need to 
initially create an account, which involves negotiating a CAPTCHA.  You can go 
to the Solona web site for tools to help you negotiate this:

Re: garage band 11 some simple step by steps?

Hi again,

What kind of controller would you mainly use for this?

I have a corgg nano control pad, an akai mpd26, and about to get a contour 
shuttle pro for editing.

I would like to use this on both garage band and logic pro, the latter as i am 
currently taking classes on it.

I know the accessibility isn't great on it, mainly for lack of feedback when 
moving around the arrangement window.


Anyway, there's an interesting part on velocity  settings in the score window, 
gotta unplug :)

Best regards,

Yuma DX®

Re: how do I click a link in an email message

2010-11-09 Thread Les Kriegler

Hi Carolyn,

Generally, I place the cursor on the link which is spoken as such in VO.  VO 
space generally works.  If it doesn't, I find if I return to the spot and try 
again, it will generally work the second time.

dropbox and file-up/download history

2010-11-09 Thread William Windels

Hi all,
I have installed dropbox on my macbook, a windows-computer and my iphone.

Also, I have shared some folders with other users.

As I understand well, a sighted user can see when and which files are uploaded.

Can we have a history of that (offline)?

I have seen something about rss but this is perhaps not for the changes in my 
dropbox?

So my question:
Can we, as voiceover users, be informed about changes in our dropbox because of 
other users?
I would like to receive a message or popup on my macbook without going online 
my self.

Thanx alot for your answers,

William

Re: how does one transfer previous downloaded music from either your external hard drive and your i-phone 3 gs to your mb pro?Hi everyone:

I had a number of music files on a Windows desktop that I wanted to transfer to 
my MB Pro. This is what I did.

1. I connected to my Windows desktop via my home network. Assuming you have set 
up a network properly, you can view what is available on your network by 
pressing cmd-shift-k from within any Finder window. You may want to do this for 
some of the music on your iPhone
, if the only location you have it backed up is on an internal drive in another 
computer. Alternatively, connect your external drive to your MB Pro.

2. I navigated to the files I wanted to copy to the iTunes library on my Mac.

3. I selected them, and pressed cmd-c to copy the files to my clipboard.

4. In iTunes, I navigated to my music table, but did not interact with it.

5. I pressed cmd-v to paste the files I had copied to my clipboard.

Because I had not changed the default in iTunes of copying new files to the 
iTunes music folder when importing new tracks, the tracked were simultaneously 
imported into my iTunes library and copied to my MB Pro. Of course, there may 
be a simpler way to do this if you have home sharing turned on, but I haven't 
messed with that, and that wasn't an option for me, as I had needed to reformat 
my main hard drive. Fortunately, my iTunes library was on a secondary internal 
hard drive which was not affected by what ever went bad with that particular 
machine.
HTH,
Joshua

Re: AppleScript to move files [was Re: problem moving files to another folder]

Wow, what a treasure chest Tim put together.  I hope it continues somewhere, 
though I nabbed a lot!
On Nov 9, 2010, at 11:51 AM, Esther wrote:

Hi David,

Yes, I use the original Automator script that Greg Kearney wrote quite a long 
time ago (when he was still in the U.S. and could host a web site listing the 
accessibility of VoiceOver compatible software).  However, since that site is 
long gone, your best bet to get a "Move" script is to go to the English version 
of the site of the Italian Mac User group that Rossy maintains at:

http://www.universalaccess.it/script-english/

Then get the "move" script.  And speaking of useful AppleScripts that are about 
to go away, if you have not yet picked up the "RestartAt" AppleScript that 
allows you move to an arbitrary time in any iTunes track (music, audiobook, 
podcast, movie, etc.), I would do so now from Tim Kilburn's VoiceOver Downloads 
page at:

http://homepage.mac.com/kilburns/voiceover/downloads.html

before it goes off-line TODAY with all the other original dot Mac homepages.  
The alternative is browsing in the Mail Archive pages for the old list and 
trying to read, copy, and paste it all from one of my very old posts.

Cheers,

Esther

Well I think you are very brave to tackle Logic, I used to tinker with it when 
I had sight, but now I find it pretty useless, maybe I should take another look 
at it?  Do you know if Apple are planning on making it more accessible?

I hope they add real time drum pattern recording for the drum plug in (Jesus

Re: garage band 11 some simple step by steps?

The sequencer is called big beat. That one is also simply inaccessible as of 
now, but i have found two concordant ways to make it possibly entirely 
accessible.

1-the extensive keyboard shortcut list. By default there are about 320 key 
bindings on a list of 1200 available functions, from timeline editing to mixing 
to preferences shortcuts.

2-THere is a logic script bundle made by a uk blind man which allows for voice 
feedback for all the inaccessible parts of logic pro.

It requires quickeys, a shortcut creator similar to keyboard maestro, and 
though logic 9 compatibility hasn't been journaled, it might be an alley.

So this is where i'm getting to Right now, and i don't think i need to stay in 
this course anymore as i've gotten a very good bird
S eye view of the program.

Re: Intro - soon to be new MAC user

Hi Vince,

I'm Allison from New York. I recently took the plunge and switched to the Mac 
in April. I can't say that I'm good at operating it yet, but I have learned  
from all the folks on this list. I still have my Windows PCs around just in 
case I need  to use Windows again. I don't miss viruses, spyware etc, but I 
have to use a Windows PC at work and rely on Window-Eyes. I think that Apple 
has done so much for improving and out of the box accessibility. I am happy to 
meet you, Vince, and I  hope you enjoy your journey.

Sincerely,
Allison

 Mary,

 I got the fattest 11 inch air I could get with 128 gb storage and 4gb
 memory.  Apple makes a great product, but you pay for it but then again,
 you get what you pay for.  So when I purchase an apple device, I only do
 it if I can get the most I can for what I want.  I concur, 64 GB is
 hardly enough.  Now the 13 incher goes up to 256 G; LOL I just wrote K
 instead of GB; hmmm, do you think I am tired from travel?

 I just cannot say enough about this Air!  but just as in the windows
 world a netbook is sexy, it might not be for everyone.  However, it
 surely is for me.

 I will find out more about methodologies for updating the OS; I'm not
 concerned, because I still have a macBook Pro to which I can hook the
 Air, but I realize I am unique perhaps in that, so I will find out and
 let folks know what I learn unless somebody else already knows how to do
 it for sure.

 Marlaina,
 Your comment about the IPad was interesting. I've been pondering the
 possible purchase of an IPad or the Air and seeing pluses and minuses for
 both. I assume you are using Pages on the Air for all that note taking?
 I'd be curious if others' experiences with the bluetooth keyboard and the
 IPad mirrored yours. What keyboard were you using? Did you say you got
 the air with just 64gb of storage? Or did you upgrade? the price goes up
 mighty fast when you do that, but 64gb doesn't seem sufficient.

Hi,

I have moved my pages from the HomePage portion of my me.com to what is now

Re: iPhone translation apps [was Re: English-Spanish translation redux]

Hello Antonio,

If you have double tapped in the "Translate from" text box to enter text, then either flicking right or doing a two finger flick down "Read
all" should give you an "IMG speaker touch, dimmed" button in the top right corner, followed by buttons for "Cancel",
"Clear", and "Translate" (appearing from left to right, across the center of your iPhone, just above the virtual keyboard in the bottom
half of the sceen). You'll need to exit this screen by double tapping either the "Cancel" or "Translate" buttons to return to the main
screen.
"Cancel" returns you to the main screen without erasing what you have typed, but doesn't perform the translation. "Translate" will return you to the main screen, and attempt to do a translation between your selected languages so that the translated text shows up in the text box in the bottom half of the
screen. If your text box is empty, either "Cancel" or "Translate" should take you back to the starting screen. The "Button Switch Lang" and the "Translate from" and "to" language buttons are announced as dimmed, but will work if you double tap them. This seems to be a common
problem, with apps, because VoiceOver doesn't update the status of the read buttons. First choose the "from" and "to" translation languages by double tapping. The default "from" language is set to English and the default "to" language is set to German. If you flick right across the app
you'll hear, "Translate from", "English, dimmed", "Text field, double tap to edit", "IMG speaker touch, dimmed, button", "Enter text or swipe to paste", "Button switch lang, dimmed", "to", "German, dimmed", "Text field, double tap to
edit", "IMG speaker touch, dimmed, button", "IMG action touch, dimmed, button", "Button Info big, dimmed." (This is for the free version of the app). To change the translation language(s), double tap on the language (e.g., "German"), then touch the bottom half of the screen, You'll
hear "Picker item, adjustable, swipe up or down to adjust the value".

There seems to be a bug in the current version of the free iTranslate app in that the languages are not announced when you swipe up or down the picker item wheel This is correctly announced to VoiceOver in the
iTranslate for iPad version of the app. (Since I haven't changed my settings on the iPod Touch for some time, I didn't catch this). The languages on the picker item wheel are in alphabetical order, and I'll paste them
in from the program description: Afrikaans, Albanian, Arabic, Belarusian, Bulgarian, Catalan, Chinese Simplified, Chinese Traditional, Croatian, Czech, Danish, Dutch, English, Estonian, Finnish, French, Galician,
German, Greek, Hebrew, Hindi, Hungarian, Icelandic, Indonesian, Italian, Irish, Japanese, Korean, Latvian, Lithuanian, Macedonian, Malay, Maltese, Norwegian, Persian, Polish, Portuguese, Romanian, Russian, Serbian,
Slovak, Slovenian, Spanish, Swahili, Swedish, Tagalog, Thai, Turkish, Ukrainian, Vietnamese, Welsh, Yiddish. It's a hack, but what I would do is find the language you want from the list. So, say that you want the
"translate to" language to be Spanish instead of German. You'd have to move down 10 more spaced from "Greek". After double tapping "German" (or, in your case, "Greek"), I would
touch the bottom half of the screen to hear "picker item, adjustable". Then I would set the rotor to "Adjust value" and flick up 10 times. Then I would double tap the "Set Language"
button in the center of the screen.. If you then flick right or touch the right side of the screen near the center, you'll hear the new language, which should be "Spanish". If you double tap the "button
switch lang, dimmed" button, the top of the screen should read, "Translate from", "Spanish, dimmed", and after the "Button switch lang" you'll hear "to" "English,
dimmed".

The "IMG speaker touch" buttons do not function unless there is text in the
text box to be spoken. If you want VoiceOver to announce the text, you'll need to set
the language rotor to that language (e.g., Spanish).

The normal sequence, after you have set up your translate from and to languages, is to double tap in the top text box, bring up the virtual keyboard,
and enter the text you want translated. When you're done typing, double tap the "Translate" button at the right side of the screen, just
above the virtual keyboard. You'll be returned to the main screen. Touch the translated text in the box at the bottom half of the screen. If you
want to purchase a voice to read this out in the translated language, flick right to the "IMG speaker touch, button" and double tap. A
text-to-speech screen will come up that lists the language options with the instructions "Click to hear a sample". Flick to the name of the
voice you want to sample and double tap to play the sample. If you want to buy a voice through in app purchase, flick right to the $1.99 button and
double tap. To leave the screen, double tap the "Done" button in th

Re: Intro - soon to be new MAC user

2010-11-09 Thread Eric Oyen

hello Vince.
I am also glad that I took the mac plunge last year. I did it quite a bit 
before the onset of total blindness. I went from reading large print to 
listening to my screen. the funny thing was, I was already looking at voiceover 
because I was getting nasty headaches from trying to read large print. all it 
took for me to switch from one to another was a 2 finger combo (command+F5). 
after onset, I was exclusively in read screen mode by ear. I haven't slowed 
down much. I have had to get a helper app for some apps that aren't entirely 
accessible. other than that, its been well worth the $800 I paid for the used 
mac and the $29.00 for te OS X 10.6 install disk.  on the whole, thats still 
cheaper than a windows box+OS+jaws.

Re: Intro - soon to be new MAC user

Welcome VInce. You're going to love your Mac. I love mine. It can take some 
getting used to, but once you get the hang of things, you'll be amazed at how 
quickly you can get things done.

Re: Fusion Question: Interactng with Virtual Machine

Sad to say, I tried command-option-enter, and nothing. I also tried command-g, 
and also nothing. I get a bonk sound each time. What might I be doing wrong?
