Re: accessibility of MacBook Air
I also have good memories of the Braille 'n Speak and the Braille Lite. Besides them crashing and losing all of my data multiple times, I loved using them in class. I was extremely disappointed when I tried out the Pac mate. It seemed to me like FS took a step backwards. Once I have the budget for it, I look forward to working with a MacBook Air. The newer models definitely sound like a huge step up from the previous iteration. One thing that I really liked about the Braille 'n Speak and Braille Lite models were that instant on feature. It made it a breeze to keep up with real live. I'm glad to see that the Air is taking Mac in this direction. Another hooray for Apple and accessibility.

Re: switching from 64 to 32 bit version of OS
Hello. You are right, it says 64 bit kernel extensions no. However, I have another question. My macbook pro has 4 GB of ram, and it is expandable to 8. How can they do that, if it is 32 bit mode? If I expand my memory will it be used or it is a waste? Nektarios.

Re: Growl
well nothing works with adium and growl I didn't realise tat there was anther update, but everthing else works at least somewhat with growl...

Re: Growl
Well, Skype 5 beta doesn't seem to be working with Growl either. I've got all the display notifications set up for speech and all the notices are checked. Also, In Skype, display screen alerts or what ever it is is checked, and, Growl is set to be the means that Skype 5 beta uses. What the blases am I doing wrong?

Re: Growl
Hello Michael, If you do not like how Growl currently works with the Speech style, please consider fixing it yourself or wait until someone takes the time to do so patiently. I'm sure nothing is preventing you from changing it, either on a personal level or getting it bundled in a future release of Growl. I would fix it for everyone, but I sadly don't have time enough to do so, even though it doesn't actually take that much to change the behavior. it requires you read a lot, though, if you want the knowledge of completing the work. The Speech style isn't perfect. Bottom line is...if you don't like it now, don't use it. I strongly urge you to pick up the pieces and change the style slightly if you would like. I'm currently trying to re-write some of the speech style entirely, allowing you to have more control over the various styles in general, though that is currently on hold. Other developers of Growl (including me) will most likely tell you the same thing I'm telling you right now, given that Growl is an open-source project and everyone can contribute :). Please, don't complain. Everyone is currently working on their own projects and Growl improvements/bug fixes or enhancements, and not a lot of attention is being given to the Speech style at the moment. Unfortunately, sometimes other matters are much more serious than the Speech style. Don't get me wrong, because I understand your frustration. However, I will say this again...nothing is preventing anyone from changing the behavior. I'm sure we have some smart people on here...in fact, I know that is the case. I also know that someone is probably going to ask: "Well, if it's so easy...why doesn't anyone do it?" I'll answer in advance, and if I'm wrong in my predictions then you'll get the answer anyway. :) If you want the change badly, try to understand how to develop Growl. If you can't understand how to program, ask someone to help you who might have an idea or try to contact someone privately such as myself to guide you through the reading material. Of course, your third possibility is to just wait for a fix. I won't disagree that the fix is long overdue by now, and it should have been taken care of many releases ago. However, as I said above...regardless if it is a small matter or not, sometimes, no one touches that particular style for ages because there are more important bugs to be squashed, or more common feature requests to be implemented and polished. I'm not trying to be snappy, but I'm just tired of hearing the same complaint over and over when nothing is stopping you from changing all of Growl to your preference by getting the developer kit, then proceeding to build Growl. I'm sorry if you take this in any way that may seem offensive or belittling, as that is not my intent. :) Take care everyone. :) Regards, Nic GoogleTalk: chojiro1...@gmail.com Facebook Twitter Skype: Kvalme MSN Messenger: nico...@home3.gvdnet.dk Yahoo!

Hi CHad, Does your CD player support MP3 CDs? If not, you need to select Audio CD from the burning options tab. I had the same problem until someone on this list told me that. I hope this helps.

Re: Growl
some of us (like me) are not adept at programming. in fact, what programming skills I have belong to that ancient era of basic, fortran and cobble. Also, I am newly total (having lost what residual eyesight I had 4 months ago) and am still learning the ins and outs of how OS X and voiceover work. Now I know, that as open source programmers, you may not have a lot of time on your hands. frankly, nether do I and I don't have anywhere near the time I once did (trying to learn how to live as a totally blind person in a sighted world, getting job training, etc). I wish I had the time to learn a new programming skill, but there just isn't enough time available in the day and I don't have the funds to go back to school and properly learn. all I ask is that you (and other open source programmers) understand how it is that folks like me are forced to function and try to work around that (if possible). -Eric On Nov 12, 2010, at 4:50 AM, Nicolai Svendsen wrote: > Hello Michael, > > If you do not like how Growl currently works with the Speech style, please > consider fixing it yourself or wait until someone takes the time to do so > patiently.

Re: Growl
Hello Eric, I do understand your situation and your needs, and probably also your frustration with Growl and not being able to review previous announcements, etc. That would honestly be a nice feature, however, the issue is that the Speech style only passes it to the Apple Speech Manager. This means that the information sighted people would be notified of when using any other style is the same you will get, such as "Click to view" or "Click to undelete" notifications in Dropbox. Growl does not change the behavior of the notifications, which is why it may seem frustrating when you use the style. Occasionally, I am looking at this particular display style, but I also need to understand fully how speech works in Mac OS X to implement it properly so Growl can recall your notifications. Also, I'm not entirely certain yet if you can configure the way Growl handles notifications and controls them based on a style-basis, or if it is generalized and styles only change the way they are viewed. I'm confident in the former solution, though, but I'll obviously keep looking into that. Naturally, I prefer a flexible environment, and I'm sure with a few tweaks it's possible. Unfortunately, if you are not adept at programming, that's ok of course. It minimizes the possibility of the style changing anytime soon before someone does so, which I know isn't always preferable. I'm starting to get quite familiar with Growl, but do understand that I do not have the time myself at the moment to properly look into it, please! My previous post is not meant as a bash, or the start of a flame war as I prefer relaxed conversations. I hope you do not take it that way, as I pointed out in my previous posts, and do understand that I know how urgent you may need Growl to function the way you would like.

Re: Growl
heh. mine wasn't meant to start a flame war either, its only a measure of my current frustration. I use chat here for my irc stuff and I have found that it isn't as blind friendly as I would like (even with growl). I get told about every happening, on every chan, not just the currently focused one (that can be bad when things are busy). then there is the problem of growl being interrupted when I am typing (thats a problem with voiceover that I haven't been able to figure out yet). if I had a few extra US dollars sitting around, I would certainly be donating to the various projects I use (NVA, ORCA and others like growl) but living on a fixed income really precludes that. anyway, I hope this mail has been an eye opener to some of the problems I currently face and the level of frustration I am forced to deal with. by no means is it your fault. perhaps its time I made some time to learn how to properly program. -Eric On Nov 12, 2010, at 6:44 AM, Nicolai Svendsen wrote: > Hello Eric, > > I do understand your situation and your needs, and probably also your > frustration with Growl and not being able to review previous announcements, > etc. That would honestly be a nice feature, however, the issue is that the > Speech style only passes it to the Apple Speech Manager.

AIM for iPhone updated with VO support
Blog entry is here: https://www.ssbbartgroup.com/blog/2010/11/12/aol-releases-updated-aim-for-the-iphone/ I've been working with the AIM iPhone folks on this for a while so it's nice to see it finally fixed. For those not familiar, the very first screen where you select what kind of account to log in from (AIM, Facebook, MobileMe etc) was totally inaccessible. The region where all those buttons were just dinged. There still are issues but at least the front door isn't locked any more and some other voiceover problems past that are also resolved. Let me know if you stumble upon any problems that I should pass along to the AIM developers. CB -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "MacVisionaries" group.

Re: Growl
Well, Growl tells me absolutely nothing at all. Nothing. I've got it turned on and all my notifications set to the speech setting. Can't work out why Drop Box isn't telling me anything about file changes or Skype about anything at all. Isn't there supposed to be a Growl alert for when somebody downloads a file from your d Drop Box folder or something? I did once uninstall Growl but I put it back. Can't seem to work out what I might be doing wrong. Sincerely, The Constantly Barefooted Ray!!! Now A Very Proud and very happy Mac user!!!

Re: Growl
Thanks for making me think to go to Growl settings under system preferences. There, I found that under the Applications tab, there was a check box next to all my apps. The "Skype," app's check box was NOT checked, so I checked it. I'm still waiting to see if it made a difference. However, I found something else out which might be a conflict. When I pressed the "Configure," button with the Skype app checked, I found that the "play sound," menu was set to "none," even though, in the Skype preferences, I had set it to play a sound. This *MAY* be preventing the sound from playing, but that's just a theory. One possible work-around for this would be to transfer all the sound files into the system sounds folder (/system/library/sounds), but that would be a pain... • Mark BurningHawk Baxter • AIM, Skype and Twitter: BurningHawk1969 • MSN: burninghawk1...@hotmail.com • My home page: • http://MarkBurningHawk.net/ -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "MacVisionaries" group.

Im plus doesn't work on my iphone anymore!
Hi everyone. I wonder if anyone else has had some trouble with the im plus pro messenger for iphone. It used to be the most accessible messenger for the iphone. I tried a few and it was the best one. After the app was updated though, it isn't so accessible. All the features are readable by voice over except the instant messaging text edit field. When you are typing a message to someone, vo doesn't speak while you type. I use a bluetooth keyboard and can hear nothing when typing. It's a big disappointment because a $10 app failed me.. :( Any ideas on what to do? Either to downgrade to the more accessible version or what other messenger works? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "MacVisionaries" group.

Re: Any chance to get plain text with embedded tables announced by Vo correctly?
Hello. why not just save them at html to see if they came out right. I think that's an elegant solution until apple works out a solution.

Mac Journal
Hello all, Some time ago, I sent a cross posted message stating that I was having difficulty syncing data between Mac Journal on my iPhone and Mac Journal on my Macbook Pro. I was never able to resolve the issue. I was never able to resolve the issue, that is, until I purchased and registered Mac Journal on my Mac. Apparently, while it isn't mentioned in the documentation, syncing journals over a wireless network will not work if the Mac running Mac Journal is only running a trial version. Once I registered the Mac OS version, syncing worked smashingly. Btw, Mac Journal for iPhone, last time I checked, was $4.99. It will only sync text entries, but it is quite accessible. -Joshua -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "MacVisionaries" group.

Re: New scanner sounds interesting.
Hi. I have been scanning a lot for many years, I understand that it is easy to cut up a book, and put it into a scanner, but honestly we need help for that process, and we need to be sure, all pages has been scanned with good result, and two pages not been scanned as one. I do not know if it is worth. Best regards Annie. On Nov 12, 2010, at 9:19 PM, Jonathan C. Cohn wrote: > I just read a review of a Fujitsu scanner that scans double sided at a page > every 3 seconds.

Researcher looking for iPhone users
Hi All; the below is from a researcher looking for interested volunteers. Smiles, Cara :) Hello, iPhone users. I am looking for volunteers who have used an iPhone for at least 6 months, to participate in a short telephone interview in regard to their iPhone experiences. This interview is in support of ongoing research funded by the Department of Veterans Affairs. My current interest in doing interviews with people who are using iPhones is the result of our work on the Cellphone Best Practices project with the Department of Veterans Affairs. In earlier work, we evaluated 14 phones. We learned during this research, that the touchscreen phones can offer access, and the iPhone in particular has done far better than any of the traditionally designed cellphones at affording full access. We completed the first year of the project, and are now in our second year. We are now taking the data from the first evaluations, and developing an evaluation system for best practices in utilizing a touchscreen phone. Our initial evaluations had people using cellphones provided to them for a 3 week interval. We learned much, but we realize we also want data from people who have used the iPhone for 6 months or more. We want to know more about the long term iPhone experience, in order to include that data into our study. I have been asked to conduct short interviews with persons who are blind, and using iPhones for more than 6 months, in order to gain further insights into those long term experiences, and develop action statements that will address needs perceived by long term iPhone users, and not just those using the iPhone for short periods of time. The results will be used to engineer the interface of a touchscreen phone for evaluation, in order to determine "best practices" in designing an interface for persons who are blind. If you are interested in volunteering for an interview about your personal iPhone experiences, please do email me directly at: garywke...@samobile.net I will write you back so that we can establish a good time for the interview, which takes typically, 15-30 minutes. Thank you in advance for considering this volunteer opportunity. Gary W. Kelly New Frontiers, Inc.

Re: accessibility of MacBook Air
It depends on what kind of working your doing with the app. A air might be able to handle the task. I found it to be very efficient in it's management of its resources.

Re: accessibility of MacBook Air
Hi Marlaina! The problem of missing letters (or rather vo not keeping up with your typing) is the exact problem i have with my macbook pro. : ( I guess like you, i must either slow down or do tons of editing. I had wanted a macbook air but when i went to the apple store, the gentleman tried his level best to convince me that for a student in that price range, the pro was best. So thats what i got but i don't mind switching it for an air lol. (oooh please no hurt feelings to my pro, it's served me well.) :) The fact it doesn't have a cd drive is a bit annoying but not a deal breaker b/c you can get an external drive for a decent price at lots of electronic stores. When i was mac shopping though there wasn't a 11 inch air available though *frowns* i would have pushed to buy it no matter what the rep had said hahaha.

making youtube videos??
Hi list: I want to break into the world of youtube videos. I have no idea what I'm doing, though. If anyone's done any podcasts on the subject, particularly discussing any issues VO users may encounter, that would be great.

Solona questions
All: I have two Solona questions. 1. When submitting a screenshot, I received a response saying the VO cursor was blocking the Capchaa. Where is the best place to put the VO cursor when taking a screen shot? 2. When running the script, I cannot launch terminal and just type ./solona.sh. I first have to type cd Documents/solona enter. Then I have to type ./solona.sh enter. How can I just enter terminal and type in the ./solona.sh script?

Re: iPad WiFi issues delaying iPhone/iPad update:
If there is a problem with something as important as something with the wifi working correctly then I hope they delay til they fix it. I can't stand buggy crap pushed out the door. Why do people just have to have something not solidified released anyway? Then you have to wait til the next release to actually even possibly have it work right. Admittedly I have not yet rea the article, but the subject implies that it is a network connectivity issue. I don't want issues with that.

Hi Channelle: If you go to the abbyy fine Reader website, download the free trial. Once you do this, you receve several reminders and invitations to buy it. It's around $100.

Re: speakers for the i-phone/mb pro.
Hello Chenelle, Speakers are a personal choice. I think it's best to go listen to them. I like a set from the Apple store called "Bowser and wilkins mm1" but alas! they cost $595! So I can't have them on my budget. but then there's a set of Bose and those are only $99! So I can't recommend a thing! Best to go to electronic stores and look and listen...

Re: accessibility of MacBook Air
It does not have a cd drive so you have to go external. Good luck.

In fact, Apple's doing its level best to distance itself from the whole netbook thing. Of course, one could argue that it's a similar form factor and size, and a rose by any other name, etc. etc., but there are a couple of key differences: 1) They refused to compromise on the keyboard size, so the Air has a full sized keyboard for typing. I think someone said that function keys are a bit reduced, though. 2) The Air isn't using anything like the mobile Atom processor. It's using a standard issue Core2 Duo, admittedly one at a lower clock speed than the newest ones, but nonetheless, it's a full dual core processor, not one optimized for low power consumption with processing power sacrificed. 3) No netbook I've ever seen claims instant, or even near instant, powerup. -- Buddy Brannan, KB5ELV - Erie, PA Phone: (814) 860-3194 or 888-75-BUDDY On Nov 7, 2010, at 7:34 PM, Sarah Alawami wrote: > OH nice, but if apple says it is going to make it like the pc netbook > the price is sure wrong. the average netbook is around $300 the macbook > air is about $1000.

You have to move the whole set to the home dir that way you can type the script name. Good luck. On Nov 12, 2010, at 5:55 PM, Sarai Bucciarelli wrote: > All: > I have two Solona questions. > 1.

I read in either Apple Insider or Mac Rumors that another gold master was issued today. I'm guessing we will see it released next week.

Re: Researcher looking for iPhone users
ok how about solving the problem if the I hone data and voice costing way TOO much money lol that is an issue noone can fix. at and t and others want to build their oversold infastructure on the backs of those of us who don't have the money to afford it. It is sad that because we are blind if we want a truly accessible phone we have to go to the I phone or another just as expensive platform, when a sighted person can get unlimited voice text and data for 45 a month or less with an inaccessible phone, it costs over twice that for an accessible phone to have the same capabilities.
