Re: Where do the sounds go?

2011-02-02 Thread Dane Trethowan
Yep thanks! that's where they are .

I've only just received this email but I found an easier way to locate the 
sounds and I write it here for anyone's future reference, I just launched 
spotlight with command-space and typed in the name of one of the sounds I knew 
my system had, glass.aif

Re: Here is what I have done with garageband

2011-02-02 Thread Krister Ekstrom
Hi,
I'm sure the song is impressing, but i can't get it to play on the Mac no 
matter what i do. My Mac suffers from SRS, (Screen Reader Syndrom), which is a 
disease that shows in that the screen reader, voiceover in this case, reports a 
link, you press the link but nothing happens, the page isn't even loaded, and 
nothing happens when you click the link and when you right click on the link it 
opens the wrong menu, because the screen reader doesn't see a link even though 
it reports a link as being present. This is a common disease amongst screen 
readers with virtual buffers, but apparently Voiceover can suffer from that as 
well. I don't know of any remedy for this, so in short, i couldn't hear the 
song, i'm sorry.

I enjoyed it, could you perhaps give us an example of the analog samples you

What sort of keyboard did you use?

Re: Accessible games in the Mac App Store

2011-02-02 Thread Jude DaShiell
Save the following script to a file then run the script.  Remember to 
chmod 755 the file name first to make it executeable.  It will make an 
ifarchive folder tree on your system the first time you run it and 
expect it to take a while the first time you run it.  Then you run it 
later and it will synchronize your collection with the archive.  You go 
into the ifarchive/starters/ folder among others and start searching for 
files with .zx where x is a number and these are the games.  You also 
downloaded several game playing engines to use too, so do a little 
searching and experimentation and you should at least be able to get the 
frotz games going on your mac.  Cut here.

#!/bin/bash
rsync -rlptDv --bwlimit=0 --timeout=300 --partial --delete \
ibiblio.org::pub/docs/interactive-fiction/ ~/ifarchive

 Hi,
 Are you thinking of maccessibility.net?  They're still around, as far as I
 know.  Their podcasts have made for very interesting listening over the
 past while.
 I agree, a compendium of accessible games for the Mac would be very nice.
 There are quite a few for the iPhone, but the closest thing to a
 compendium for the Mac I know if is the Mac section of www.pcsgames.net.
 THere is, naturally, a much larger Windows section.
 Unfortunately, my own search for accessible games for Mac has been largely
 fruitless thus far.  I'll keep the list posted if I find anything.
 Best,
 Zack.

I don’t have a Mac at the moment, but am thinking of getting a MacMini in a

Can the MacMini be used without having a screen connected?

Re: MacMini Without a Screen

Unless things have changed since I used a Mac Mini, I would say that you cannot 
use it without a screen affectively.  In some programs, VoiceOver will keep 
saying "busy" whenever you try to use the program.

Re: mHow to turn numpad on & offm

2011-02-02 Thread Colin M
Hi Kevin!
ahh ok you wish to change between using numbers and arrows!
Well I do not know that key stroke!
But you could try putting on keyboard help, vo+k and press different key 
combinations on the numpad to see which combo does what you need!
to stop keyboard help just press escape!
Or someone will tell you the key stroke!
But have a play with vo+k anyway for fun!

The short answer is no, not effectively.  You should plan to connect a

I'm still having issues sharing volumes on my server. Do you know if the

Thanks for all of the help you've provided.

Re: MacMini Without a Screen

I've accidentally unplugged my monitor while using the Mac Mini and VO got 
extremely confused, especially in Safari. I really wouldn't recommend it. There 
used  to be a way to plug a dummy cable in, but since the new video connections 
have become standard, it doesn't seem to work anymore.

Ok, so I have lots of questions. :)

What does it mean to chmod755 a file?  Also, I went to the site given in this

 Hi,
 Are you thinking of maccessibility.net?  They're still around, as far as I
 know.  Their podcasts have made for very interesting listening over the
 past while.
 I agree, a compendium of accessible games for the Mac would be very nice.
 There are quite a few for the iPhone, but the closest thing to a
 compendium for the Mac I know if is the Mac section of www.pcsgames.net.
 THere is, naturally, a much larger Windows section.
 Unfortunately, my own search for accessible games for Mac has been largely
 fruitless thus far.  I'll keep the list posted if I find anything.
 Best,
 Zack.

Hello guys,

I have two questions I hope some of you can help me with. (1. How do I reply to 
a specific question within a message threat, so my feedback can appear under 
particular questions and/or comments? (2. What is the process of connecting my 
Braille Sense 32 to my iMac so it can be used as a display. I currently have my 
device connected via bluetooth, but I am unsure of what to do from here. I have 
reviewed the archives, but i was not finding sufficient responses.

Thanks to anyone who can help with these questions - stay warm across the

Re: Braille Sense 32. Display Help.

2011-02-02 Thread erik burggraaf
Hi, to connect your braille sense first remove the current paring you have set 
up.
Then switch on your braille sense and turn on terminal for screen readers which 
is located in the utilities section if memory serves correctly.
Press control option f8 to open the voiceover utility.
Press the letter B or arrow down to braille.
Press control option right arrow until you get to displays tab, then press 
control option space on it.
Tab to the add bluetooth display button and press space.
Press enter to initiate the pairing and enter your passcode which I believe is 
4 0's on that display.

You're done.  The sense should come up  brailling.

Editing in Audacity, can someone help?

2011-02-02 Thread Krister Ekstrom
Hi,
I'm using the accessible version of Audacity for the mac, probably a quite old 
and possibly obsolete version, i don't know but anyways i'm trying to make the 
application understand that i want to select only a tiny bit of the audio and 
not a chunk of several kilometers. The zoom in command doesn't seem to have any 
effect although it should. I wonder if there's some kind of scrubbing feature 
or otherwise an audible feature to select things with? No pressing play then 
pressing whatever keys you press to do a start/end of selection won't cut it, 
because the piece i want to select is short.
Could anyone help with this?

Re: Acapela voice purchasing [was Re: Where Is Samantha, on the Mac?]

2011-02-02 Thread Courtney Curran
Hi,
I did purchase the acapella voices, I got a confirmation order, but no email 
with my key yet. I did opt for an email instead of a CD, so that's not the 
problem. It's been almost two days, how long does it usually take for the order 
to be processed? Since the order confirmation, I've heard nothing. Does anyone 
have any suggestions?

Hi courtney,

It takes usually a business day to receive the serial. I had a few occasions 
where ittook longer but because i purchased over the weekend so the delay was 
comprehensiblle.

Hope you get that soon, but just send support@infovox your order receipt and 
tell them you didnt get it yet.

Hope that helps

Re: sharing folder on mac os server for mathew

2011-02-02 Thread Yuma Decaux
Mac OS doesn't play nice with FAT32 partitions, they need to be at minimum NTFS 
in order for them to work with mac os systems. However, if you don't see an add 
share point or volume button in your server admin panel, the issue is 
altogether different as you should be able to share your system volume but you 
said your sharing is either greyed out or just isn't there.

I had my server on before a few days when my partner plugged it off because the 
quote unquote white flashy thingy (which is incidentally my external disk) 
probably takes a lot of energy. So now i have lost remote access to my server 
not due to viruses or other data centric circumstances but human implication in 
the most intimate order :)

So i can only navigate blindly here. 

Here's a list of things to check:

1-your server is reachable at yourservername.local

2-DNS is in order for all network related services.

If not, go to terminal and type sudo changeip -checkhostname , type your admin 
password then if there are no error messages you're good to go.

3-Check your volumes and if necessary change them to ntfs or HFS+ journaled.


If all these are go, there is no reason you can't see a list of available 
volumes or share points after you vo right in the sharing tab on either your 
server or on the afp item in your sever list.

Hope this helps

Garag Band Question, Possible Screw-Up?

2011-02-02 Thread Phantom.Vader
Hi people!

First of all, I'm new to this list.  So hi all!  You've already been a
huge help!  I've only had my Macbook Pro since November, and this list
has already been invaluable - LOL if not to say a life-saver!

Anyway, the Garage-Band question.  I pasted a loop into my song and
stretched it out to the length of the other track so that they should
match, but I'm still only hearing it for the first four bars.  What am
I missing  Plus, I seem to have lost the ability to re-size and I'm
not sure why.  But, when I try to resize my track, loop or window with
the arrow-keys, it just dings at me and doesn't seem to be doing
anything, regardless of whether VO-keys are locked or not )I lock them
to perform the re-size command as that's the only way I can reach all
those keys).  Anyway, what did I do??

Also, on a side-note, is it possible to permanently lock the VO-keys?
This happened to me once before where the keyboard is acting as though
the VO-keys are locked even when they're not, and I can't figure out
why it's doing that or how to undo it  And needless to say it's
playing havoc with my navigation and editing!

Anyway, thanks in advance, and all help appreciated!

Re: Forget wireless networks

2011-02-02 Thread Jonathan C. Cohn
1.  make sure that you have the network panel of system preferences unlocked. 
((click the lock  to make changes)
2. Select the airport service from the table.
3. Click the Advanced Button.
4. Under the AIrport tab there will be a table of known networks. Select the 
one you want to remove.
5. There will be a button called Remote Airport Network. Just click this.  

I suggest using the item chooser to find all the above mentioned buttons and 
fields as some are hidden in "groups".

Olympus DS 40 to Mac Help

2011-02-02 Thread Tom Frank
Hello all,
I have an Olympus DS 40 recorder/player that I use all of the time for 
recording choir practice sessions and other audio.

The Mac software that came with the player does not work with Voice Over, nor 
can my wife get it to work at all. She downloaded Flip for Mac and I can now 
play the files using Quick time. However, I can not save them.

Also, when I used Quick Time to record the audio output from my player and then 
saved them to my mac, I cannot open them, and therefore, cannot edit them, in 
Garage Band.

Does anyone out there use and Olympus recorder, and if so. how do you get the 
files to your mac?

The Olympus is great in that it is totally accessible with voice navigation and 
it's small size and high quality sound make it an awesome player.

But, where do I go from here.

Thanks for any ideas.

Re: Olympus DS 40 to Mac Help

2011-02-02 Thread Hai Nguyen
Hello Tom, 
When you connect the DS40 to your Mac, the device should show up in the finder 
as a removeable disk. If you open this drive, you will be able to view the 
various folders on the disk. Your files should be under the recorder folder.

Re: Olympus DS 40 to Mac Help

2011-02-02 Thread Matthew Campbell
Yes the recorder will show up as a drive in the finder.
For editing the files, I'd suggest amadeus pro. You can also use amadeus to 
convert the .wma files to .mp3 quite easily.

Well I've resolved the file sharing issue. I just got off the phone from Apple

share points because of the ACLs and poxix permissions.

Re: Garag Band Question, Possible Screw-Up?

2011-02-02 Thread Ricardo Walker
Hi,

Lets deal with your side note first.

To lock the VO keys press VO semi colon.  Also check to see if you have quick 
nav activated.  This allows you to navigate and interact with just the arrow 
keys.  You can toggle this on/off by pressing the left and right arrow key at 
the same time.  Now,  To the garageband stuff. :).

Do you have cycle region on?  this is toggled on and off by pressing the letter 
C.  When dealing with looping and stretching regions, I suggest making sure 
this is off.  I have done a few audio tutorials you might want to check out.  I 
think it will show, better than I could explain, how to work with regions.

You can find all my garageband tutorials here. http://goo.gl/AKjSa

Hi Phantom!
First if you can find them Ricardo has posted links to gb6 they might be useful 
to you!
As far as your nav problems you might have quick nav on!
To stop this just press the left and right arrows down at the same time!
Vo should say quick nav on or off!

Re: Braille Sense 32. Display Help.

2011-02-02 Thread Donna Goodin
Hi Erik,

I finally got around to trying this out, and I have a few questions.  So far 
I've only been playing around with using the mail app, so my questions pertain 
to that.

1.  I seem to be interacting with things a lot--like the messages 
table--without actually issuing the command to interact.  Have you seen this?  
Any work around?

2.  On a similar note, Quicknav also seems to be being activated without me 
deliberately activating it.  At least, my scroll buttons start behaving as 
though Quicknav is turned on for no apparent reason.  Any thoughts?

3.  How do I read email messages?  I can see the messages in my  message table, 
but so far have not found a way to actually read a message.

I have looked at the Commands in the Commands table, but I'm not finding 
answers there.  thanks for any help.
Best,
Donna

Re: Turning on voiceover on the 6th gen Ipod nano?

2011-02-02 Thread Kawal Gucukoglu
Hi.

When you plug your nano into your mac, make sure that the I pod Gen isn't 
acting as a disk.  If it is, and you see it in the Finder, press command E and 
once it rejects, you'll get the voice.

Re: Jailbreaking and some solutions?

2011-02-02 Thread Scott Granados
Well if you have a hotspot enabled you'll use more bandwidth.  What's wrong 
with paying for that?

I'm with you, I know the carriers can nickel and dime with the best of them but 
this doesn't seem unreasonable.  What they charge for texting is unreasonable 
now that they should reduce.:)

Re: use of djay 3.

2011-02-02 Thread Yuma Decaux
Hi,

I have about 6000 vinyls myself and countless Cds which were all baught with 
sweat and tears. I think you misjudge those who do it for play and those who 
think they need to live on DJing which in itself is pretty accurately not a way 
of earning unless you produce tracks and beats which themselves are dope.

As for mp3s, if i buy tunes on itunes, buy them from such places as bleep, 
boomcot, alpha pup, stones throw and other online mp3 sales places, i'm 
definetely not buying some tracks coming out of commercially oriented, play on 
the radio till you shoot yourself in the head tracks.

Its for personal use first and foremost, to play music for oneself, then for a 
smaller crowd. I'm not speaking for those who lug their crates around nor those 
with hard drives with extensive material which might or might not have been 
downloaded their own way.

This said, its rather much beyond better to just carry a digital dj set than 
all the crates, cd pouches and all that stuff when quality is just the same on 
mp3s and a fraction the weight.

As for the license to DJ, it used to be like that back in the days. If you 
wanted to try some vinyls, either you just baught it or you had a license and 
showed it to the sales person. It'd be miserable though if everytime someone 
djayed and they were sent to jail cuz 1 mp3 out of 200 was downloaded from an 
illegitimate source.

Things evolve, and no one has a clear crystal ball over this, but you now 
usually get rights to do things with other's productions through contact, 
exchange and such. 

Don't know what type of muzak you used to spin but would be interested to 

Best regards,

Yuma

 Just thought I'd come in and give my first impressions of the new Skype.  
 for the most part, I reckon it seems to work well enough.  I love that one 
 can read the status of people in one's contact list now.  Very good.  Most 
 of my custom sounds work, all but one that is; and, no matter what I try, 
 I can't get Skype to use that sound.  It's the third party hang up sound.
 
 Thing is this.  How does one read the profile of a person in one's contact 
 list?  Also, how does one access the history?  If, in fact, the history 
 can be accessed at all.
 
 
 Sincerely, 
 The Constantly Barefooted Ray!!!
 
 Now A Very Proud and very happy Mac user!!!
 
 Skype Name:

That's a matter of opinion, just done a different way that's all and a 
developer is quite entitled to change a layout of a piece of software if they 
want to, just as accessible to use the conference feature I've found thus far.

2011-02-02 Thread Brianna Snyder
I agree. Besides, isn't it easier to have a keystroke to do that anyway, rather 
than going all the way to the contact list, and going to a contact's context 
menu? Just my thoughts.

 Hi.
 
 I have ran the beta of this version, and it took me a while to get used 
 to. However, I really love the final release.
 To inable the video, you have to find the video button in the confrence 
 window. This leads me to something weird and pretty annoying I have  
 discovered: It seems like Voiceover sometimes lost the focus and jumps 
 over some part on the screen, which might be the reason for you have 
 missed the Video button. Because of that issue, I don't remember if the 
 video button is in the toolbar or if it is at the confrense screen.
 
 I have seen the option to add an incoming call to a confrence, but it have 
 never worked for me, and I don't remember where I found it. I think it's 
 somewhere in the menubar.

Re: Garag Band Question, Possible Screw-Up?

2011-02-02 Thread Phantom.Vader
Hi people!

Wow!  Thanks for the fast responses!  Awesome!

Ricardo.  :-) Yes, I've listened to your tutorials.  They're awesome!
Thanks so much for doing them!  They were a huge help getting
started!  LOL otherwise, I don't think I'd have had a clue what any of
that stuff meant!  I tried re-sizing with the cycling both on and off,
though, and it still went all whacko.  Could the Quicknav thing have
had something to do with it?  Because that does sound exactly like
what was wrong with my keyboard.

And thanks, both of you BTW, for the Quicknav tip.  It seems that I
did indeed turn it on unintentionally, and now that I've turned it
back off things seem to be back to normal.  Phew!  LOL I'll have to
watch that though!  I don't even remember accidentally pressing both
arrow-keys at the same time, but apparently I did!

Anyway, thanks hugely for all the help, and keep it coming!

This new vision of journalism is a blend of multiple traditional news mediums

of course, a little negative publicity will certainly not hurt.

Re: Jailbreaking and some solutions?

2011-02-02 Thread Scott Granados
facilities cost money.

These carriers are spending over a billion per year at an absolute minimum and 
some like ATT in the tens of billions.

Some thing else to remember is Spectrum is easily used up.  With the newer 
technologies like LTE you can fit more in the same frequency spectrum so costs 
in theory should drop.

Think of it like T1 lines used to be.   They  used to cost $1000+ per month for 
1.5 megabits.  Now you can get 100 megabits for $179 per month.  The facilities 
have to grow and if you look at like a supply and demand curve as the supply 
increases the costs drop assuming that supply outstrips demand.

Well, I tell you what, I'm having a major issue with my Skype audio.  No matter 
what input device I use, my audio gets all choppy and stuff.  All kinds of 
noise in the background.  I'm going to try completely removing Skype and all 
traces of it from my Mac and then doing a clean replacement.  IF that doesn't 
work, I'm going to scream to them about this

 Hi.
 
 I have ran the beta of this version, and it took me a while to get used

 To inable the video, you have to find the video button in the confrence 
 window. This leads me to something weird and pretty annoying I have  
 discovered: It seems like Voiceover sometimes lost the focus and jumps 
 over some part on the screen, which might be the reason for you have 
 missed the Video button. Because of that issue, I don't remember if the 
 video button is in the toolbar or if it is at the confrense screen.
 
 I have seen the option to add an incoming call to a confrence, but it have 
 never worked for me, and I don't remember where I found it. I think it's 
 somewhere in the menubar.

 To inable the video, you have to find the video button in the confrence 
 window. This leads me to something weird and pretty annoying I have  
 discovered: It seems like Voiceover sometimes lost the focus and jumps 
 over some part on the screen, which might be the reason for you have 
 missed the Video button. Because of that issue, I don't remember if the 
 video button is in the toolbar or if it is at the confrense screen.
 
 I have seen the option to add an incoming call to a confrence, but it have 
 never worked for me, and I don't remember where I found it. I think it's 
 somewhere in the menubar.

Course they don't, they've better things to do and they've done it well, the 
new product's a damn good one not just for accessibility reasons but 
performance reasons, works so much better than the older versions did, I've 
only been using it for a couple of days, the interface changes are taking a 
little getting used to but I'm finding I like the way things are presented now 
and things are less cluttered and presented in a more logical order in a lot of 
cases.

Re: first impressions of the new Skype

2011-02-02 Thread Doug Lee
Speaking as someone who personally visited the Skype development
headquarters in Estonia, met many of the developers along with a
number of managers that came from the UK to attend those meetings,
and who was there at Skype's request to provide information on
exactly how to improve accessibility of Skype on both Windows and
MacOS platforms, I can somewhat authoritatively assert that Skype
does care about accessibility. :)

I believe there are two basic problems here, neither of which is
carelessness:  First, the changes in Skype itself, which are driven
not by us but by the sighted world like it or not, sometimes require
wholesale rewrites of accessibility support code, which of course
takes time.  Second, we the blind are, pretty much by definition,
more equipped to tell Skype what's wrong with their accessibility
support than they are, which means that the likelihood of a Skype
change breaking accessibility is pretty high unless we find a way
to tell them in a timely fashion what happened.

The first of those problems is both inevitable and common to most
software out there that we might want to use.  The second, though,
is a problem we can certainly address individually:

Skype has a bug reporting site where any Skype user, blind or sighted,
can file bugs.  The URL for that site is 

https://developer.skype.com/jira/

If you have a problem with Skype and you go file a bug explaining
in detail what the problem is, your report will reach the Skype
development team.  Of course, a well-thought-out and detailed bug
report like, "In Skype version 5.1.0.104, there is no apparent way
to add an incoming call to an existing call to create a conference
without using a mouse or typing a lot of keystrokes," is far more
likely to cause things to happen than a report like, "I can't add
people to a conference."

Finally, a confession:  For many months, I was in more regular
communication with the Skype developers, filing bugs of my own and
talking to them about how to fix them - that's my business, assistive
technology programming. :)  But more recently I have not found as
much time to do this, so I have started more directly encouraging
other blind people to step up and be heard by Skype directly.  Also,
since I maintain the JAWS scripts for Skype on Windows, I am more
well-versed in the Windows Skype interface than in the Mac Skype
interface.

So in summary, the best way I know for people to help Skype fix
accessibility problems is to let them know that such problems exist
by filing specific bugs on their bug reporting site.  Fortunately for
Mac Skype users, the way to make things accessible on a Mac is more
well defined than how to do that on Windows, which means you probably
don't have to know how to answer questions about how to program
accessibility in order to file a useful report.

Thanks; I downloaded Amadeus Pro and have been able to open and save files from

Re: garage band nitty-gritty little things i keep misunderstanding

2011-02-02 Thread Brent Harding
I thought I'd try it just for kicks, "remixing" midi files I downloaded off 
the net. Well, those get querky, some of the tracks can't solo, the organs 
really stink built into GB as you can barely hear them, and I tried the 
sound font trick, download a bagpipe.sf2 I threw in, DLS Music Device 
recognized it, but using that effectively muted the lead guitar I replaced 
it with. Yeah, I know it would probably sound stupid anyways, especially 
with the amp simulation stuff on it, but not sure why it wouldn't let me 
hear it anyways.

Hi,

I can answer these for you.  First you are correct.  Regions are segments 
of audio or midi recorded on a track.  To record on to a region you must 
first turn on the cycle region which can be done by pressing the letter C 
to toggle it on and off.  Then interact with the arrange layout area and 
navigate to multiple indicators ruler time line and interact again.  Now 
navigate to the cycle region layout iTem.  Here you can resize the size 
of the cycle region, as well as move it a long the timeline.  To start 
moving the region press VO command accent.  Now use the left and right 
arrows to position the region in the timeline.  Press escape when done. 
Now you might want to stretch or shrink the size of the cycle region. 
This is done by pressing VO command shift accent.  You will be given 2 
choices.  Move the left border or the right border.  So for example,  If 
I wanted to add to my verse region on my guitar track and it started on 
bar 5 and ended at bar 21 I would first move the cycle region to bar 5. 
Then I would move the right border so the cycle region is 16 bars long. 
Now I can go to my guitar track, hit record, and play my little heart 
out.  lol.  I just combined all your questions into one example.  I 
thought it would be easier.  I can create a basic audio

tutorial if enough people are interested.  Let me know.

Hello,

I have been playing around in Garage band for a couple of weeks now
but there's a few things I just don't get . If someone can walk me
through this on skype or IM or iChat that would be awesome, but maybe
answering these general questions will help:

- First, the whole idea of regions. I understand a region is a portion
of recorded audio on one track. Is this true? Or does it encompass
more then one track?
If the former theory is correct, is it possible to add onto one region
but not on another? For example if you have three regions. An intro, a
chorus and a verse region. How can you easily add a second part to the
chorus region without affecting the other two? For example add a
different instrument or background vocals or so?
-Second thing is the so - called cycle recording. I understand this
creates a sort of region that lets you basically record ov er an
already done piece, possibly adding to it. But how can i see what
selection is indicated?  I mean, how do i know what part is being
cycled? Also people tell me to resize regions using voiceOver resizing
commands. I have two questions about that.
1. What are these commands?
2. I understand resizing the cycle region increases the amount of bars
it is encompassing, therefore increasing the length thats being
cycled. But why would you want to resize another region? Wouldn't you
be just adding empty bars?

Sorry if these are newbie questions, its just things i never really
understood.

Any help apreciated,
Florian

how to add people to a Skype conversation

2011-02-02 Thread Ray Foret Jr
For those of us who have been wanting to know just how to add a person to a 
Skype conversation, I've worked it out.

1.  Make the first call.

2.  Once the person answers, focus on the conversation by either 
command+option+left or right.

3.  Now, Vocus on the tool bar and from there, VO+right till you hear, "Add 
people".

4.  Press this with VO+space.

5.  Now, VO+right till you get to the table of contacts.  

6.  Now, interact with this table.  Note that Voice OVer will not read you this 
table until you do so.

7.  Now, Press VO+command+F5 to rout the mouse to this table.

8.  VO+left or right until you reach the contact you wish to add.

9.  Now, cease interacting with the table.

10.  Now, VO+right until you see, "Add button".  Press it.

Note that if the add button is grayed out, this is because Skype does 
not notice that you've made a selection from the contacts table.  I still have 
yet to work out how to remove a person, but, at this point, I imagine it's done 
by going to the source list and focusing on the contact from that point.

HTH.

Re: how to add people to a Skype conversation

2011-02-02 Thread Ray Foret Jr
Critically important step missed.  After routing the mouse, VO+shift+space to 
click.  This will cause the mouse to focus on the table thus Skype should be 
able to see where you select from then on.

mac mail assistance

2011-02-02 Thread Carolyn Haas
Hi everyone:
I'm having a frustrating issue with mail.  I prefer to have mail sort my 
messages by date received.  I'm setting this in the view menu.  But, the minute 
I go to another task, even another mailbox, the sorting defaults to by subject. 
 I looked in mail prefs, but found nothing to correspond with that.  Anyone 
have other suggestions as to making the "sort by date received" stick? (other 
than smacking Alex upside the head:)?

TIA and goodnight/day/smiles to all.:)

Hi Trahern,
Yes back in the OS 9 days I did use DP, but currently  I believe that it is not 
accessible.  Both Slau and I contacted MOTU and didn't get very far. I don't 
know if they have made some changes, but if you hear anything new, please let 
us know.
Thanks,

Re: iWOrk: VoiceOver Falls Short

2011-02-02 Thread Tim Kilburn
Hi Kevin,

I spent some time listening to your suggested podcast and am a little annoyed 
with your approach and attitude presented within it.  While your comments below 
suggest a welcomeness to constructive comments and/or workarounds, your tone 
within the podcast itself is very critical of VO.  Much of this criticism, in 
my opinion, is due to a lack of experience with the product itself.  You and 
your partner appear well versed in the use of JAWS and are using that wealth of 
experience to attempt a comparison with a product that you do not have the same 
familiarity with.  Therefore, your conclusions seem rather tilted.

Now, I do appreciate your efforts in providing the podcast episodes, as such 
comparisons are useful.  Simply to eliminate the judgemental comments would 
make them more palatable from my prospective.  As I've noticed from much of the 
suggestions supplied by Anne Robertson, much of what you criticized with 
respect to VO is actually doable.  I might also add, that many of these are not 
necessarily "workarounds", but really just a different way of approaching 
things.  For the most part, we all have to realize that VO and the MacOS is not 
Windows, nor do I want it to be, so if we must do things a little differently, 
then so be it.

Now for some specifics:

• In Numbers, you made fun of Numbers saying "B4" with the word "Cell" and 
quipped about not needing to hear the word "Cell" since you knew that you were 
in a spreadsheet.  You also mentioned that there was no way that you could stop 
it from saying the word "Cell".  In this case, you are inaccurate, simply set 
your default verbosity to "Low" and VO will not say the word "Cell" anymore.

I will readily admit that JAWS handles MS products very well and I'm not trying 
to say that VO handles iWork just as well, my objections are with your 
perceived expertise with VO during the comparison and your over-critical tone.  
Your obvious comfort level with JAWS allows for the ease of use whereas that 
same level of comfort is not apparent for VO.  These inconsistencies are 
brought home considerably when I read the comments/suggestions from Anne.

Maybe, instead of making such judgements, you could preface your comments with 
phrases like, "In my experience with VO thus far", or " I haven't figured out 
how to do whatever yet, but there may be someone who's more familiar than me 
with it".  I feel that this would give your podcast a more professional tone 
and consequently, add validity to it.  In it's current state, I would not be 
inclined to listen to further episodes.

Just my thoughts.

Later...

 VoiceOver is silent and doesn't read first line of following page.
