Scott, I read HSPA+ is a possibility though. I Believe that can take you way up in to the tens of megabytes. I think Apple has to release a 4G device because there are way to many good ones out there now from other companies. If I were sited I very well might go android especially do to it's opensource nature.

Read2Go is the most full-featured, accessible DAISY reader for the Apple device market. This very easy-to-use app for the iPad, iPhone, and iPod touch connects directly to Bookshare for immediate on-the-go reading. From within the app, individual users and schools supporting students can search, download, and read Bookshare books and periodicals and manage their books in a bookshelf. In addition, Read2Go reads DAISY 2.02 and 3.0 materials from some other sources. Based on reading preferences, users will have a wide range of options for font size, color and background color. Word-by-word highlighting with simultaneous text and speech enables multi-modal reading. The app includes high-quality Acapela voices for highly natural narration. Users will have options to turn the text-to-speech on and off and adjust the rate to their personal preferences. Further, Read2Go supports all levels of DAISY navigation that are included in the structure of the book. "The Read2Go app is so exciting for so many reasons," said Valerie Maples. "Both my husband and daughter have been loyal Bookshare users for years and have waited for the release of an app that would let us read Bookshare books on the iPad. The app should attract a large audience, the entire population with print disabilities around the globe!" "For many students who are blind, physically, or learning disabled, using their iPad, iPhone, or iPod touch means much more than access to the books they need for classes. It means they can read the same books as their peers on the same devices," said long-time Bookshare advocate Deborah Armstrong, Alternate Media Specialist for DeAnza College in Cupertino, California. "The Read2Go app will offer many advantages for people who are blind as well as those who have physical or learning disabilities, including many features not available on other DAISY readers for Apple devices; the fact that Benetech is releasing this app is a very good thing." "This new app furthers our Benetech Literacy goal of making printed content accessible to individuals with print disabilities however and wherever they want it. With Read2Go, we're offering a mobile reading solution based on strong demand from our users," said Betsy Beaumon, Vice President and General Manager of the Literacy Program at Benetech, the nonprofit organization that operates Bookshare. "The accessibility built-in to iOS devices and their widespread and growing use highlight their potential to help close the gap for students and other individuals with print disabilities." Read2Go will be available this quarter in the iTunes App store and will sell for $19.99. Interested users who would like immediate notification when the app is available can provide contact information on a secure notify list. Additional features, such as study tools, images, and multiple languages, will become be available in the coming months. For access to

Hi Rose, The file you should have downloaded is named moveAddict.dmg. It contains an accessibility folder as Esther described earlier.

Hi Jeff, I downloaded the paid version from the Mac app store. I thought about downloading it directly from the web, but I don't want to have to pay again. And who's to say I wouldn't just get the same .app file instead of the dmg I'm supposed to be getting? I'm still a bit lost. Sorry!

I then tried the suggestion I received from the support group, which was to launch the terminal app and enter: "defaults delete com.kapeli.moveaddict". This time it appeared to be successful (without any additional parms) since it was necessary to reenter my registration. I then took the following steps over both "unknown" fields: 1. Interact: 2. Even though Mouse is configured to follow VO I pressed vo-command-f5 for good measure. 3. Confirmed that the mouse was in the field (vo-f5). 4. Press the desired shortcut key (i.g. command-x for cut). 5. Stop interacting. As Chuck observed, the fields still show "unknown", but I am now able to cut/paste. Best regards.

Re: Facebook Fopa
Guess I did not explain the issue that Facebook is trying to solve. Apparently Facebook accounts have been hacked. Zuckerberg's account was one of the first and someone posted something to his wall that was not really bad, but it was there. So in order to keep our accounts safe from hackers they are implementing a Captcha schema so that their users have to pick from one of 6 or so pictures of their friends in order to gain access to their accounts. This is going to be implemented across the board. Doesn't matter how you access their site you will have to pick from a random set of pictures of whoever and a friend. This gives you a 1 in 6 chance to guess the right one. Not odds I would like to take to Vegas. Get it now? Hear the fear in my voice? If this is done fully without regard to our community it could mean the the most popular social medium for staying in touch with family and friends becomes totally inaccessible to us. Hope I am wrong and I intend to do some other sourcing of this action, but from last nights TNT it looks as though it's already being rolled out.

Re: Gmail via Pop?
Actually imap has been around longer than pop and is actually more stable than pop. Your issue is not an imap issue it's a google issue. They have your inbox set to not show you anything from yourself. You wrote it and know what you said so why in the world would you want to know that it posted to a list? Just another example of big brother holding your hand. Tied behind your back in my opinion. If you do like other listers have suggested and create a label for your lists and move all traffic from that list into that folder then you will begin to see your own posts. At least that's the way I solved it. HTH Keith On Jan 28, 2011, at 8:49 PM, Teresa Cochran wrote: > I really didn't intentionally set any labels.

Re: Facebook Fopa
Yeah, just stop using FaceBook, which in my opinion has proven to be a nefarious organization at best. Flame away boys and girls, but I calls them as I's sees them. It is what it is and those who use the service will have to wait and see how this security will be implemented. Scott On Jan 29, 2011, at 7:36 AM, Keith Watson wrote: >> What's not true?

That perhaps will be true, but we'll have to wait and see. What I read indicated something different, but of course not all 4G seems to be created equally either or so it seems.

Re: MoveAddict still vaporware.
Hi Rose, I've not yet purchased from the Mac app store; did they give you a key, or is it the iOS scheme where the file is specific to your device? If The former, and you have version 2 you would be safe downloading the current version and copying the moveAddict.app and moveAddict preferences.app files to your applications folder,. Overwriting these files would not kill your registration as this information is stored in the property list file (com.kapeli.moveaddict). To reiterate, this is only applicable if the Mac app store did not alter the packaging and like me you still have a key which you can get your hands on.

Re: MoveAddict still vaporware.
Jeff, The Mac app store uses the same scheme as the iOS one. I can delete and redownload all I want, but I still get just this one .app file. I don't have a key. I know the app is only $5, but I want to get my money's worth.

word processor for the itouch?
Hi guys, I need a word processor for the ITouch and don't have all day to fiddle with different ones. For right right now I just need the ability to type up 3 lines of notes for a 5 minute presentation, more so I can look the part of a successful access technologist than because I need pointers to keep me on track. Eventually I'd like to explore something more advanced like quick office and would appreciate any thoughts you might have on that score. But for now, can you get me up and typing so I can strap on my braille display and look cool at the presentation?

Re: Dropbox accessibility
I've said before and I'll say again, there's really only one thing in Dropbox which isn't accessible on the Mac and that's the preferences and by default Dropbox preferences work just fine, not much in there to change anyway so I think the tag here that Dropbox isn't accessible is an outright lie as only y the application isn't accessible. I've been using Dropbox for months across various platforms including Mac, my data syncs fine! I can retrieve files from my dropbox account on the Mac just fine! I can upload files to my Dropbox from my Mac just fine! I can copy public links from my public Dropbox folder using my Mac just fine! I can sync my Itunes folder from any Mac to any other computer running Dropbox in my house just fine! so given all that? Well I'd hardly call Dropbox inaccessible .

Re: word processor for the itouch?
Try iNotepad GN. It's accessible, stable, simple, and cute. It costs $2.99. Quick Office is not accessible, last I check. If you have dropbox, you might also consider Nebulous or Droptext. Both are accessible and are $0.99 each Hth, Rose.

Hello Erik, Why not just use the Notes app that comes with the iPod Touch?

Getting Mac app store version of Moveaddict to work, was Re: MoveAddict still vaporware.
I don't know if anyone had this problem, but if your app store version of Moveaddict did not come with a preferences app, this file should get your Moveaddict working. All I needed to do was run this app, configure any preferences I wished, and cut and paste to my heart's content. I highly recommend at least checking the run at login checkbox in the general tab. http://dl.dropbox.com/u/3819637/moveAddict%20Preferences.app.zip I hope someone finds this useful.

Hi there. Thanks for the reply. I will try mac the ripper to see how it works. Unfortunately, handbreak, although very accessible, it doesn't remove the copy protection of DVDS, and is unable to rip when copy protection is present. I will continue the search. Regards.

Ok, that's great info. I will certainly try this program and probably go for it. I also like to give my money to those who conceder accessibility and do something about it.

Re: word processor for the itouch?
Hi Ann, It seems the notes application is hiding in my finance folder. That must have happened when I first got the thing. Kinda like the way my mac is registered to eerik urggraaf, because I hadn't mastered the trick of editing on the mac yet. Good times. I've actually bought INotepad and quite like it.

Re: word processor for the itouch?
Thanks rose, Inotepad worked great. Only a couple of things bemuse me and maybe they are a result of lack of proficiency with IOS. 1, I can't find the open button. I've got save, email, and some other goodies but no open. So, if I save 3 or 4 things and want to go back and look at something other than the last file I edited, how do I go about that? I know it will bring up the last file I was working on automatically when I open the app. I notice that if I double tap and hold I get a popup menu with things like select, select all, cut and copy, but when I double tap one, the menu goes away with no apparent effect. What am I missing?

Re: dvd ripper for mac.
I've had dvds thought where you have to use dvd shrink as hand break would not see it. I was trying to put the dvds on my ipod andI could not do it until dvd shrink had done what ever it does for this to work. Now if dvd shrink would be made for the mac that would be nice!

Re: Dropbox accessibility
Well I contacted them and they told me the same thing as last year. We are aware of the problem and we are working on it. They came out wiht an update for windows a few month ago bot not as far as I know an update for the mac so I really won't believe that they are aware of the problem until I myself see some changes. I pointed them to my youtube vid I made so hopefully that gets the ball roling a bit more.

Re: Dropbox accessibility
Except the fact that you have to access the status of the files using a very odd work around if you are a beginner mac user like I am but that's not the fault of dropbox I don't think. If apple could make all the icons visible int he status menu then we would not have to use the track pad. As for the prefs I like to change them to meet my needs and right now I cannot do that. There is no way for example to change the bandwith for example to unlimited or a way to tell it to take all of my bandwith Not with out sighted help. s On Jan 29, 2011, at 8:37 AM, Dane Trethowan wrote: > I've said before and I'll say again, there's really only one thing in Dropbox > which isn't accessible on the Mac and that's the preferences and by default > Dropbox preferences work just fine, not much in there to change anyway so I > think the tag here that Dropbox isn't accessible is an outright lie as only y > the application isn't accessible. > > I've been using Dropbox for months across various platforms including Mac, my > data syncs fine!

Copied text to Dropbox Hello Dropbox team. I'd like to report a problem that I would class as a bug report my self. This has to do with the lack of accessibility within the Dropbox for mac application. When I launch the Dropbox app, I get no feedback from the built in screen reading software on the mac. VoiceOver is the free screen reading solution built in to every mac and Apple's developer documentation makes reference on how an application can be made to be accessible while using VoiceOver.

Re: scanning
Hi, The EyePal is a band-aid solution at this point, a very platinum band-aid if I may say so. I'm recommending it to clients because it's easy and it works and they won't have to pick up the tab for most of it. My clients are for the most part either elderly and fearful or studentish and in need of something quick and effective. The EyePal serves in both regards. If it had true mac software I'd have no reservations. As it is, it's fast, portable, effective, nice-looking on a desk, easy to use and easy to teach. And the price is slowly coming down. Doubtful it will ever be as cheep as an off the shelf product, but I've never seen an off the shelf product do what EyePal does. Some one prove it to me. I'd love to see it, and I'll be right there on the bandwagon as soon as it happens, but til then it's the eyepal.

Re: scanning
Hi Ann, I would love to see the tutorial. I've looked at some other documentation prepared by others on this list, and while it worked out for them, it doesn't meet the needs of my clients.

Re: Facebook Fopa
This was done for Tunisia where the goverment sstole peoples identity and then erased accounts. There is an article about this in The Atlantic. When Facebook discovered that a large store of accounts had their passwords stolen because they were sending them in clear text, they did 2 things 1. Create a query asking who is this person for anybody whose account had been comprimised by the goverenment. 2. Enabled HTTPS for facebook so that passwords could not be stolen. So if the entire reason for the queries is to ensure your account has not been hijacked, then just using the HTTPS should be sufficient.

Re: scanning
There is a take control of your paperless office book that is a bit down on my reading list, but probably a good idea for other folks on this list. I heard an interview with Joe Kissle who wrote the book, and one point he made is that the flat bed scanners that are so popular are not greate for OCR. He seems to like the Fujitsu line of scanners that can scan both sides of a sheet of paper and cost around $300 US. If anybody has some free cycles and would like to review the book here I would appreciate the knowledge.

Re: Solona nearly never available lately
Trust me, your hearing doesn't have to be compromised to screw those things up, mine's pretty good, but a certain large searchengine and it's e-mail service is just bad because of all of the backwards junk they play with it.Wouldn't say my hearing is great but by the numbers it's average and do have a pretty good ability to zone out a lot of noise and focus on what I need to hear, but some of those as I said are just bad.

Re: scanning
Hello, My Canon Lide 700F portable USB scanner does a beautiful job with VueScan and ABBYY FineReader. When scanning books, I flatten out the book as best I can, then press down on the lid of the scanner to stop the book jumping up and ruining the scan. It works great and the scanner hasn't complained yet. Of course, if you can bear to cut the book apart first, you don't need to apply pressure to the lid of the scanner. Let me know if you need my set up instructions for VueScan.

Re: scanning
There are mac beta drivers for the plusteck opticbook 3600 bookedge scanner. Last time I looked, they were in to beta 2, and that was a bit ago, so it is possible the driver is now out. But whether it is the sort of fully twain compliant driver that FR express needs, I haven't a clue. Given that their windows driver is apparently not exactly standard, I'd doubt it, but one never knows. The 3600 and its more recently released, more expensive and faster cousin the 4600 are wonderful book edge scanners. No pressing down on books required.

Re: Apple's online store reveals Verizon iPhone voice plans starting at $39.99
Hi Ricardo, I'm also concerned aboug the cost for the data plans going up before the next iPhone comes out. Remember, at least for Verizon customers, a data plan is required ven if one has wiFI. It's my understanding that the data plan, at least for a limited time will be $29.99 for unimited access, and that's appealing. It's a tough call, I'll acknowledge that. I just don't like the unknown factors here. Les On Jan 28, 2011, at 8:42 AM, Ricardo Walker wrote: > Right, > > Its not upgrading or not upgrading. Its the reasons one might use to do > either.

So, yes, there'll be a newer version of the iPhone released shortly after I buy the VZ iPhone. But if I don't have LTE here, it doesn't really matter. True, I'll be left out of some of the new features, but I figure I'll get a year out of the iPhone 4, and then when we have LTE out here, I'll get the iphone 5.

Re: scanning
What happens when you push the scan button the machine itself? That's what I do, then open the saved imagewith Abby then do my conversions, but my Kodak has a fairly accessible scangear, so I can interact with it and tell it where to save it and what file type I want which I now have them as defaults so the only thing I need to do with that is to just name the file, or leave it's on there. Push the button on machine and computer starts talking and I am still using Tiger, so your later aditions should work, the only thing I can't actually do is to fax something, part of that is missing since again I have Tiger here. Save up for a new machine I guess, maybe before the year is up can have me a new cat around here barring some sort of house repair, which I'm sure this place will come up with some for me to have to fix and pay for this year *lol.* On Jan 28, 2011, at 3:19 AM, Stephanie Mitchell wrote: There isn't anything else apart from file that I can tell.

If your only choice is "file" then either you don't have a Twane scanner, or the software supporting your scanner is not recognized by ABBYY. Once your scanner is selected, pressing a button such as: "convert to text document" should activate your scanner.

It's a gmail thing works with Mozilla Thunderbird on windows too. In fact heard about it on another list which is deffinitly predominantly windows users, but also worked here too. It will send you all you send out from that acount but then you know it went out. You should be able to do that simply by finding the acount in the table, clicking back to acount description or general tag, not mailbox behaviors or advance and eddit it in there in the user name, and should be good to go.

But for now, can you get me up and typing so I can strap on my braille display and look cool at the presentation?

Re: Alarm clock for Ipad
Here's one! It's free. Um, I don't know if you are in the US; don't have a link for other countires. Here's the link: http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/alarmed-reminders-timers-alarm/id371886784?mt=8 Or just do a search for Alarmed in the iTunes store. It says Alarmed~reminders. That's how it sounds anyhow.

Re: scanning
That's cool, I have to find them because, I have that scanner! I was thinking would have to put windows on my mac but, if this true, I won't! Heather - Original Message - From: Mary Otten To: macvisionaries@googlegroups.com Sent: Saturday, January 29, 2011 3:50 PM Subject: Re: scanning There are mac beta drivers for the plusteck opticbook 3600 bookedge scanner. Last time I looked, they were in to beta 2, and that was a bit ago, so it is possible the driver is now out. But whether it is the sort of fully twain compliant driver that FR express needs, I haven't a clue. Given that their windows driver is apparently not exactly standard, I'd doubt it, but one never knows. The 3600 and its more recently released, more expensive and faster cousin the 4600 are wonderful book edge scanners. No pressing down on books required.

Jailbreaking and some solutions?
Hi guys. Recently I Jailbroke my phone, but have run into an issue. I tried to start Cidia so I could go grab an app, but Voiceover doesn't seem to like it. Suggestions have been made to get Icy, but everything seems to point in the direction of downloading it with Cidia. Besides, Icy isn't being made anymore either, so I've heard. Can anyone suggest what I should do? If worse comes to worsed, I'll grab some sighted asistance. But still, something that was made by the apple Dev team really should be accessible. Anyway, thanks guys. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "MacVisionaries" group. To post to this group, send email to macvisionaries@googlegroups.com.
