[MACVISIONARIES] accessible twitter clients?

2011-02-27 Thread Eric Oyen
I have tried Syrinx for OS X and found it wanting. it speaks the updates, but I 
can't seem to interact with the individual tweets to get links, etc.

are there any other accessible twitter clients that allow me to do more?

Interface builder accessible?

2011-02-27 Thread Zachary Kline
Hi All,
  I've recently become interested in Coco and Objective C, which among other 
things means that a 
lot of tutorials recommend the use of Interface Builder. I've done some 
experimenting, and can't 
seem to do very much with it.
  So I thought I'd ask here, is it useable for us? I don't know of an easy way 
to drag 
controls, for instance. Might I be able to do something with the inspectors?
Any advice would be appreciated.
Best and thanks,
Zack.

Two questions about Audio Hijack

2011-02-27 Thread Michael Busboom
Hello everyone,

A very kind person on this list helped me create a macro that automatically 
starts Audio Hijack and selects Skype to hijack.  Though the macro still works 
perfectly, and I use it almost every day, two things have started to occur that 
I don't understand.

1. In the component session, there are now two entries for Skype, and I never 
know which one of these components is actually hijacking the Skype audio.  I 
used to be able to determine this, but no longer.

2.  Voice Over no longer interacts with the Audio Hijack toolbar in either 
Skype entry in the components table.

Thus: Is it possible to erase one of the Skype entries?  And can I do something 
to once again make VO interact with the toolbar so that I can split recordings, 
etc.?  Lastly, if I can somehow erase one of the Skype entries in the 
components table, will my macro still work? 

Thanks a million,

Mike

Hello,

Interface builder has many accessibility problems.

Here you can read an article about how to design a hello world using Interface 
builder and VoiceOver. It is in my old blog: 
http://programaraciegas.weblog.discapnet.es/articulo.aspx?idA=1599


it is a unproductive solution. I preffer design and create the interface from 
code. it's a hard work but it's very accessible for me.

Re: Mac OS X Lion

2011-02-27 Thread Keith Watson
Sara,

The reason your Mac slows down has nothing to do with the amount of ram that 
you have in your system. It's the bottleneck in the IO system. You want to 
increase your productivity, buy a SSD instead. This will increase your 
throughput and make the same system appear to now scream.

Just my 2 cents.

Hello Michael!

1. I don't know. I haven't seen this before, sorry!

2. You can get around this if you look in the menus there you'll find hotkeys

hotkeys, but that, however, is a personal preference. So sorry, but it might be 
a workaround which you will like in the long run.

Line-Wrap Settings In Mail?

2011-02-27 Thread Teresa Cochran
Hi, folk. I'm just curious about what the default line-wrap settings are in 
mail. Is there a way to change them? I haven't noticed any thus far. I don't 
need to change them as far as I can tell, but there are rumblings on some 
mailing lists (not these) that people have hard line-breaks in quoted text, 
which makes for a lot of gobbletygook.

Thanks,

my library has books through overdrive. i know these books are in protected WMA 
format and adobe. but i think some may be unprotected. is it possible to 
download these books to my mac in itunes and even transfer them to my iphone?

I'll respond both to this (macvisionaries) list, and also cc: to the viphone 
list, since this post gives information about the OverDrive app that allows you 
to transfer downloadable audiobooks that you borrow from your public library 
directly to your iPhone.  To briefly summarize, OverDrive is one of two major 
systems used by public libraries in the U.S. and Canada to provide 
electronically downloadable content for borrowers, and is the only one that 
allows you to transfer and play this content on an iPhone, iPod, or iPad.  
OverDrive is also used internationally -- in Australia, New Zealand, the UK, 
Ireland, Singapore, Taiwan, Venezuela and by a few locations in Germany, the 
Netherlands, and other places.  International users can check their public 
library coverage at the OverDrive site, using the "Search Libraries by Name" 
category:
http://search.overdrive.com/classic/
This post only covers audiobooks, and there is not, to my knowledge, any 
accessible means that can be used for downloaded Adobe protected eBook content. 
Bryan Jones has pasted in two recent posts (appended to this post) about using 
OverDrive, either in the Desktop version for your library's downloadable 
audiobooks, which can then be transferred to your iPhone either through iTunes 
or the OverDrive app.  I am following up by forwarding a later reply about my 
experience with the OverDrive app that was made off list, but which was 
intended for general list information (thanks, Christina, for pointing this 
out.)  That post presumes that you also have access to the desktop version of 
the OverDrive Media Console for Mac or PC, which allows you to both download 
and play audiobooks on your computer, as well as transfer them to an iPod or 
iPhone. The desktop software is not required if you choose to only use the free 
OverDrive app for downloading, but be aware that the OverDrive app will only 
permit direct downloads of audiobooks of the kind marked "MP3".  Most libraries 
have both "MP3" and "WMA" versions of audiobooks.  Because of the Digital 
Rights Management and copy protection, the larger class of "WMA" audiobooks 
cannot be downloaded without the additional Windows media copy protection in 
the computer program, which means that they can only be transferred to an 
iPhone or iPod through a Windows desktop version of the OverDrive program 
(which must be run on a PC or either a Windows installation on Bootcamp or on a 
virtual machine on the Mac).  The app will let you borrow both types of 
audiobooks, since it directs you to a general web site interface, but 
downloading "WMA" versions and transferring to an iPhone (if permitted), would 
have to be done through the desktop version, then synced to the iPhone or iPod. 
 The general site for downloading the free OverDrive desktop software is:
http://www.overdrive.com/Software/OMC/accessibility.aspx 
The link to the OverDrive App is:
http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/overdrive-media-console/id366869252?mt=8 
Sorry for the lengthy preface.  You also must have a public library card with 
your local branch so that you can use the account number to check out 
downloadable audiobooks.   

I found that the most efficient way to use the OverDrive app was to browse the 
available collection using the web interface to my library on the computer, and 
place possible selections into my "cart", then to review the "cart" in the 
OverDrive app on my iDevice (within 30 minutes of placing the item into the 
cart).   This is because the computer's web page allows you to go to an 
"Advanced Search" link that lets you filter results only for "MP3 Audiobook", 
and also optionally check a box to only display titles that are currently 
available for borrowing.  This can save you browsing through 30-40 titles 
before you come to the first one that you can check out and download through 
the app.  OK, I'll proceed to the pasted in reply (below my signature), which 
gives a tip on how to play the sound samples.  This is followed by Bryan's post 
with the two previous list posts on the subject.

Cheers,

Esther

Re: overdrive books

2011-02-27 Thread Esther
Hi Jonathan and Denise,

I think you're speaking about the Bluefire reader app.  I tried this out, and 
as far as I can tell, the contents are not accessible.  It's like the case with 
the Kindle app -- you can view the items in the catalog, but when you open the 
actual books, you won't be able to read the contents of the pages with 
VoiceOver. I think the experience was the same with the Barnes and Noble app, 
and  This is, perhaps, not unexpected.  Bluefire is meant to work with Adobe 
Digital Editions, which handles copy-protected emedia (eBooks -- not 
audiobooks, although OverDrive tries to handle both formats). Audiobooks are 
handled through OverDrive Media Console.  I think that for library eBooks you 
have to get Adobe Digital Editions and a password.  This is not accessible to 
VoiceOver, and I believe that none of the eBook protected files that use Adobe 
Digital Editions are accessible to any screen reader program on either Windows 
or the Mac.  Greg Kearney wrote to the FIctionwise.com eBook vendors about the 
eReader app, and got a reply that the "being able to scoop the text out, into 
another program, would allow for easy duplication of copyrighted materials.  
Our software cannot be used with screen-reader software."   See Greg's post in 
the archives:
http://www.mail-archive.com/macvisionaries%40googlegroups.com/msg06200.html

I think this is the TidBITS article you were speaking of (about Bluefire?):

This ID is something that gets used with Adobe Digital Editions.  It's meant 
for you to create a unique identifier that can be associated with 
copy-protected eBooks that you purchase commercially, or that you download from 
the Library, and that are protected with Adobe Digital Editions.  I don't 
believe that any content that used the ADE copy protection can be read 
accessibly with any screen-reader program on any platform.  I went through the 
exercise of setting up an ID and trying this with the Adobe Digital Editions 
application (separate download) for the Mac. I've also tried this with the 
Bluefire ereader app for the iPhone, iPod Touch, and iPad.  In all these 
instances you can hear the books announced, but none of the actual book content 
gets exposed to VoiceOver.  I believe this is also true for all screen readers 
used on other platforms (such as Windows), too.  Maybe this is something that a 
low-vision reader could use, but I couldn't get any feedback with VoiceOver of 
anything within a book.  It's like working (or rather not working ) with 
the Kindle app on the Mac.

Cheers,

Esther

Hi,

1.  Go to Music in your Sources List.
2.  Interact With the Music Table.
3.  Navigate to the Album column.
4.  Press VO-shift-back slash to sort by Album.
5.  Navigate to the first item in that album.
6.  Hold down your sift key as you arrow through the rest of the album.
7.  Press the Delete key to remove it.
8.  You can press "m" to tell iTunes to Move the items to the Trash when the 
dialog appears.

Note:  If the Album column is not displaying, press cmd-j to bring up the View 
Options and check the Album column.

Thanks.

Re: deleting a compilation album from my itunes library?

2011-02-27 Thread Esther
Hi Donna,

In addition to Tim's very complete answer, you can also use your (column) 
browser to locate compilations.  In the "View" menu on the iTunes menu bar, the 
"Column Browser" sub-menu lets you check categories to view (e.g. "Artists", 
"Albums", "Composers", etc.), position ("On top" or "On left"), and you can 
also check (or not) entries for "Group Compilations" and "Use Album Artist".  
If you check (VO-Space) "Group Compilations", then if you toggle on the column 
browser with Command-B, and browse under the "Artists" list, the first entry 
will be "Compilations".  Selecting this entry will show you all tracks 
associated with "Compilations", which are basically albums that cannot be 
associated with a single artist (e.g. "Cinema Classics of 2004").  If you 
further tab to the "Albums" section of the browser, you'll find a list of 
albums that are classified as compilations.  Select that album, and then 
navigate to the sources table.  Do a Command-A to select all and then delete.  
Toggle off the column browser again with Command-B.  Incidentally, I keep my 
column browser position set to "On top" -- the way this was set up for numerous 
previous versions of iTunes before they decided to make this a "column" 
browser.  I also keep my iTunes libraries set to display in list view 
(Command-3).  These are no longer the default settings for iTunes.

The other alternative you have is to select all the tracks in your compilation 
and then, instead of deleting, use Command-I ("Get Info") and enter a value in 
the "Album Artist" field. Then, for your column browser sub-menu, check the 
option for "Use Album Artist".  That will preserve artist information for the 
individual tracks, but allow you to search for this album as though it were a 
work by your designated album artist.

HTH.  Cheers,

Esther

Re: deleting a compilation album from my itunes library?

2011-02-27 Thread Ricardo Walker
Hi Donna,

What Tim said works fine but, I think their is an easier way.  Just go to music 
in the sources list and then press command option F to take you to the search 
field.  Now type in the name of the album.  All you have to do now is navigate 
to the songs table, press command a to select everything and hit backspace.  
Note:  You will want to make sure only songs from the album you typed int into 
the search are in the songs table.  I just feel avoiding interacting with 
things is a faster way to go about tasks like this.

Re: deleting a compilation album from my itunes library?

Hey Ricardo,

thanks!  I share your aversion for interacting with things, so I'll definitely 
play around with this.  It hadn't dawned on me to use the search function.  
It's amazing how many different ways there are to accomplish things on the Mac, 
and how, even after using a Mac for a year and a half, you realize how much 
more you have to learn.
Cheers,
Donna

Re: deleting a compilation album from my itunes library?

2011-02-27 Thread Esther
Hi Donna,

I'll comment on Ricardo's suggestion to use the Search field, which you can get 
to with Command-Option-F (or Control-Option-F in Windows).  It's a good one, 
provided you know that the search doesn't pull in items from other fields.  The 
thing to realize about the Search text field is that it works as a filter on 
everything that you choose to display for a track in the "View" options for 
that library.  So as long as you type a search field that matches only the 
items in your album, it's fine to do a command-a to select all and then delete. 
Let's say you typed "Abbey Road" into the search field.  It will match all 
instances where these words appear in the Album title, song title, comments, or 
any other field that is views in the songs table -- so you may pull out the 
same song from other albums.  Unless you're very sure that you've typed in a 
unique search term, you'd be better off at least navigating to the songs table 
after your search and doing a sort (VO-Shift-Backslash) on the Album column 
(and yes, you do need to interact), and check that the same album name is at 
the top and bottom of the list -- no interlopers of music tracks that you don't 
want to delete.  If you're clean, do the Command-A to select all and then 
delete.  If not, go up to the last matching album list entry, press your shift 
key and arrow up to the top (or to the first matching entry) and delete.

The trick to working efficiently in iTunes is to work in large blocks with each 
action, and a combination of the file browser and the search box can quickly 
get you to many combinations, since they can work together. With the browser 
you can separately select by artist, album, genre, composer etc. in any 
combination (e.g., first select an artist to filter out all works, then select 
one or more of the albums you want, then use command-option-F and type in 
search text to filter the remaining results).  If that doesn't work, you can 
also use "smart playlist" rule criteria to find things --- e.g. the songs by 
artist so and so that I played more than 50 times in the last 3 months.

Just some things to think about.  Cheers,

Esther

Re: Two questions about Audio Hijack

Ok for those that want the older version go here. you will still need your 
license though and if it is too old contact them for help lol.

http://www.rogueamoeba.com/legacy/ I got the older 2.9.2 version I think it was 
and I can now hijack my system via sound flower. Yee! I hope they fix the newer 
version as now I can't upgrade until they get sound flower back. I also use 
nicecast and I need sound flower for that as well.

Take care.

converting pdf with the command-line

2011-02-27 Thread William Windels
Hi all,
I am looking for a way to convert pdf's to text: rtf, txt.

It should be something on the command-prompt, if possible.
On this way, I can convert very quickly , different files.
The included program textutils, can do such convertions but , unfortunately, 
not for pdf.

Or, another option , perhaps already available on a mac, should be simply to 
print a pdf to a file:
command :
printcommand file.pdf >>outputfile.txt

All hints are very welcome,

best regards,
William Windels

converting pdf-files in terminal

2011-02-27 Thread William Windels
Hello,
I was wondering if there is a way to convert pdf-files to txt/rtf from the 
command line?

With textutils, I can convert doc(x),rtf(d),txt,html, odt to one of this 
formats.
Pdf seems not possible...

Is there a option to e.g print a pdf to a file from the terminal or another 
commandline tool to convert pdf's?

I should be able to convert a pdf to rtf/txt, htm(l).

Thanx for your answer,


best regards,
William

Re: converting pdf with the command-line

2011-02-27 Thread Tim Kilburn
Hi William,

Try the pdftotext Shell tool found at:

http://www.bluem.net/en/mac/others/

I've had success with this tool.  It will place a text version of your pdf into 
the same location as the original pdf document.  It will not translate 
protected PDFs.

HTH.

Later...

If someone recognizes this situation, it would be very nice to know how I can

Of course, when a reminder is coming up, I would like to see that reminder.

Re: Two questions about Audio Hijack

Hi Mike.  That script will hijack the first item in your sessions list that 
includes the name skype.  So as long as you have one session called skype, it 
will work.  As for VO not interacting with the toolbar, that's a puzzle.  What 
happens when you try to interact with it?

Re: Mac OS X Lion

2011-02-27 Thread T wood
I highly doubt it. I would really like to actually see all 4 gb of ram with sl 
being used. I've tried and the most I can get it up to is 2 point something. 
Fusion, I can see if you had a virtual machine, but even then 2 for each gets 
me by just fine.

Yet again, the price of the ssd was absolutely rediculous. Considering I have a 
lot of things I like to bring with me, going to the 512 gb ssd for over 500 
dollars was crazy. Yes, I did want a bad (insert language here) computer, but I 
just couldn't justify it, battery life increase or not.

Hmm, how exactly did you downgrade? As ever since I have, when I "highjack", I 
lose all sound - could I have muted soundflowers output?

 Hello everyone,
 
 A very kind person on this list helped me create a macro that 
 automatically starts Audio Hijack and selects Skype to hijack.  Though the 
 macro still works perfectly, and I use it almost every day, two things 
 have started to occur that I don't understand.
 
 1. In the component session, there are now two entries for Skype, and I 
 never know which one of these components is actually hijacking the Skype 
 audio.  I used to be able to determine this, but no longer.
 
 2.  Voice Over no longer interacts with the Audio Hijack toolbar in either

 Thus: Is it possible to erase one of the Skype entries?  And can I do

Hi,
does someone know if there's an accessible jabber client which would let do a

Any suggestions?

RE: Using CD Drive with another computer

Not 100% sure as you are using a mac but when wanting to install a program
on say a netbook which do not have a drive I copy the contents of the cd
onto a usb drive and then plug it in to the netbook and find the setup or
install file and install from there.

Re: deleting a compilation album from my itunes library?

2011-02-27 Thread Donna Goodin
Thanks again, Esther.  You've given me a lot to think about and explore.  It's 
kind of funny how quickly we get used to our way of doing things, whether or 
not it's actually the most efficient way.  I'm going to spend some time 
exploring all this and sorting it out.

I know that I and others have said this before, but thank you so much for all 
you contribute to the list.  I've learned a great deal from you in the time 
I've been using a Mac.

Help Needed Reading/Writing Documents with Word for Mac

2011-02-27 Thread Christine Grassman
Hai, folks. After consulting with Apple, several veteran Mac users, both 
sighted and blind, (none of whom use Word on the Mac), and attempting futilely 
to figure is out for myself, I am here to grovel for assistance. When I open a 
document (those imported from my PC, and those I have downloaded since 
transitioning) in TextEdit, all is well. However, any attempts to figure out 
Word meet with failure. I keep winding up in a "document pane view" and I am 
told that the text is available on the screen, but VO will only read the title. 
 I've tried using VO commands, the command key, the right arrows alone and with 
VO and command, interacting attempts, the tab, checking out the Word menu -- I 
don't know what else to try to write or read documents in Word. Please help. I 
need to be able to do this for Work, otherwise I wouldn't care. 
Thanks in advance.
Christine

Re: Help Needed Reading/Writing Documents with Word for Mac

2011-02-27 Thread Zachary Kline
Hi Christine,
I'm afraid Word for Mac, along with the other Office programs for Mac, are not 
accessible with VoiceOver last I heard.  Now, I've not tried them myself, so 
someone who knows differently feel free to correct me.  Is there something 
specific in Word you need to do?  TextEdit is good for basic word processing, 
or if you want more power you might look into Apple's Pages.  If you don't mind 
a system which isn't quite as well integrated into the Mac, OpenOffice is 
another possibility.  Is there a compelling reason you need Word and no other 
program will do the trick?
Sorry to disappoint you,
Zack.

As already mentioned, Text Edit is good for getting text in, working with it, 
and limited formatting. Pages is accessible to a degree, but will get job done 
when working with Word files.
I've worked in Pages quite extensively and will be able to help.

Microsoft Office isn't accessible on Mac.

Re: Help Needed Reading/Writing Documents with Word for Mac

2011-02-27 Thread carolyn Haas
Hi Christine:
You in theory should be able to edit word documents with pages without a hitch. 
 But, let me try to help, albeit clumsily.:)
Pages will often put you in a header or footer, or outside the document 
somewhere.  Try approaching the document by selecting it, and then going to 
menu, file, open with, pages.  This should set you within your document.  If 
that isn't helpful, simply try starting and stopping VO with command f5 a 
couple times.  I really find that seems to get Alex's attention.
As a last resort, some people use Open office for mac, and some actually run 
that other unmentionable operating system using virtual machine or boot camp.
Good luck here.  I'm sure someone with more pages experience can offer other 
ideas.

ripping audio book from cd

Hi guys:
Ok, I checked this in archives, and it seems like there's not a simple way to 
rip a multi cd book using just itunes.  What I tried to do was to import the 
CD's and then change their track names and sorting.  But, no luck there.  If 
anyone can suggest the simplest and most foolproof way to do this, I'd be ever 
grateful.

I like max for this.  Either use max to integrate with your ITunes library, or 
use it to rip the audio book cd's to one file per and then use audiobook 
builder to get them into your library.  Then there is my solution which is to 
bypass ITunes altogether and have full control over my files, but that's just 
me.

Re: Help Needed Reading/Writing Documents with Word for Mac

Thanks so much for your prompt replies. Here's the thing: The computers at work 
are ancient PC's which still use Word 97. I need to be able to read documents 
sent to me, which will likely not be an issue with text edit seemingly working 
so well.  However, I need to be able to write lesson plans, projects, reports, 
and other work-related materials in a program which can be read, sent to, 
attached, etc., for use by colleagues, supervisors, students, etc. If I send 
attachments formatted with text edit, will this be all right? Is there another 
program I can use that will migrate between my Mac and PC's? What is Apple 
Pages. Can't locate it on the Mac; is it something which requires purchase? I 
certainly wish the Apple folk knew that Office for Mac was not VO-friendly. 
Hopefully, I can get a refund for this useless software.

Re: ripping audio book from cd

2011-02-27 Thread Sarah Alawami
There is  a script that will then merge the audio files at least the ones you 
select and convert them to m4a. you can then use another script to make them 
book markable  and it will reimport them in to the audio books playlist. I 
found both scripts on the net.

Take care.

Re: Help Needed Reading/Writing Documents with Word for Mac

2011-02-27 Thread Kevin Chao
Hi Christine,

The fact that Microsoft Office for Mac isn't accessible with Voiceover is 
mainly in Microsoft's court, where they decided to not use Mac OS X development 
tools and use non-standard controls, which don't work well with VoiceOver. I do 
hope that you are able to get a refund for a non-accessible Mac OS X 
productivity suite.

Text Edit will work as longas there aren't a lot of formatting, which you'll be 
importing/exporting. Nice thing with Text Edit is that it will even 
import/export .docx formats, which are used in Word 2007 and 2010. 

Pages is part of Apple iWork productivity  suite, which also includes Numbers  
and KeyNote. You can find it in Mac App Store, which requires at least Mac OS X 
10.6.6. If you need to work in documents, which are more involved in area of 
formatting; this is your best bet. 
Please do keep in mind that iWOrk 09 is Apple's first attempt in making it 
VoiceOver accessible, which means that there's quite a bit of room for 
improvement.

Kevin

Re: ripping audio book from cd

have liked it quite a bit so far.
