Re: Safari issues
Hi Carlene, As a test, I decided to open a couple pages in different tabs and see how VoiceOver handled them. I opened Safari and started a new tab with cmd-t, did a Google search in it with cmd-option-f, and then stopped interacting and went up to the top of the window and found the first tab. I clicked it with vo-space, and it did indeed just tell me the tab was pressed. I checked back at the HTML content and found, as I expected, the first page I'd started from. Are you possibly being tripped up by the fact VO isn't making a sound to let you know the HTML content has changed? As far as Facebook, I don't use it myself, but have heard on this list and other places that it has its own general accessibility issues. I wouldn't be surprised if it misbehaved more than average. I'm sorry VO keeps crashing for you. All I can say is that I don't experience the problem nearly as often as some people seem to, and I use my Macbook Pro extremely heavily. When I bought it a couple months ago, I decided to jump in and put my old Linux laptop in a drawer. I haven't pulled it out since. Hope this helps. I wish I had more concrete information for you. You mentioned redoing your setup from scratch, I suppose that included a complete OS reinstall? If not, perhaps it's time to try that, after suitable backups of course. But then again, that is a pretty drastic measure... Yours, Zack. On Mar 29, 2011, at 11:40 PM, carlene knight wrote: > Hi Zach: > > Thanks for your reply. I do use cmd+l to load pages also.

Navigon and GPS reception
Good morning, I found the podcast on BCT about the GPS options for iOS. It was helpful. I have been playing with Navigon on my iPhone 3G S and every time I try to start a route it tells me that GPS reception is not sufficient. It doesn't matter if I am inside, outside, or in a vehicle, reception has never been sufficient. It does seem to appropriately identify nearby POIs, so GPS must be working to some degree. Curious if anyone else has had this problem and if they know of a solution.

Re: Navigon and GPS reception
Hi Everett, Anna Dresner followed that procedure with her iPhone 3GS and reported that afterwards Navigon acquired a lock on the GPS signal much faster: typically within 30 seconds where previously it took her 10 minutes or more. This process not only resets your memory settings, but reorganizes the currently used memory from your back up. I suspect that it makes the process and timing of the GPS acquisition more efficient, since your iPhone is using assisted GPS to lock onto the signal. While it didn't affect GPS signal strength, it did improve the effectiveness of GPS acquisition speed. HTH. Cheers, Esther On Mar 30, 2011, at 03:31, E.J.

Hi Kevin. Yes, the textbook is a doc file but it has pictures in it.

Could it have to do with the fact that, after importing them, I'm multi-selecting them in the "music" table and then re-labelling the lot as audio-book-files using the investigator?

Re: Question about Itunes and audio-books.
Hi, I'm wondering if iTunes is treating your titles as text and thus sorting differently than if they were numbers.For example, when sorting textually, the following would occur: Track 1, through Track 20 would sort as Track 1, Track 10, Track 11, Track 12, Track 13 on through to Track 19 then Track 2, Track 20, Track 3, Track 4 until Track 9. This happens consistently when sorting textual data because of the placement of the digits. You can usually get around this by using 2 digit Track numbers if the highest track does not exceed 99. Therefore, Track 1 becomes Track 01 (zero-one not o-one as it may read) and all other track numbers up to nine also must be preceded by the zero. The way that iTunes itself gets around this is that the numbers precede the Song title in the filename but is not displayed in the iTunes Songs Table. So, the folder is named "My Book" with items inside that folder named as 01-Chapter 1, 02-Chapter 2 and so on. Using this method, music albums can be played in the order that they are on the album and the titles thus do not appear alphabetically in the Songs Table. Long explanation but I'm guessing that this is what's going on for you. If this is not the case, give me a specific example and I'll attempt to replicate the issue. HTH.

Getting used to the screen on a Macbook pro
Hi everyone I am struggling a little bit and just wanted to know whether anyone else is in the same situation. I have a 2008 iMac and a 2010 Macbook pro. With my low vision, i generally use the zoom feature on the macs but sometimes use the voiceover feature when reading long passages of text. My issue is this: I hate using my macbook pro and would rather be on my imac. I think its because the imac has the larger screen so when zoomed it has more screen to pan across than the macbook pros does. With the macbook pro being only 15 inches, i find it hard to use when i am zoomed because you have to navigate around the screen so much. Does anyone else have this issue? and how do you get over the feeling of hating the laptop??? because i really would like to use it more. I hope this makes sense and you can understand what I am getting at? Charlie -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "MacVisionaries" group.

Re: cross platform voice conference client.
I'd love to recommend Teamtalk. It is an awesome client, and there is a mac version. There is an early build of it which is almost completely accessible. However, if you are looking for complete accessibility on both platforms, Ventrilo is still the way to go. I hate to say it, but it's true. I used Ventrilo for a few years. It has quite a few cool features. Other than needing to pay for a server, there really is nothing I can say against the program.

Re: Hotspots
Simon, I'm not clear on how your post varies from what Colin already said? If you are attempting to add new information, you may want to rephrase it. If your intent was to rehashColin's answer, I would suggest that you consider responding privately so as to help minimize the time required for the 658 people subscribed to this list to follow it. I was about to answer Courtney's query, but noticed Colin beat me to the punch with a reply that seemed completely responsive, hence I decided not to waste everyone's time. Best regards.

Re: Getting used to the screen on a Macbook pro
Hello Charlie. For many, many years, I used a hand-held magnifier to read my desktop computer screen. Then, applications such as ZoomText came on the market and I was glad for I thought it would make things better for me. The issue was that in order for me to efficiently navigate the screen I had to keep Zoomtext at a level that was too small to read; thus, I continued to use my hand-held magnifier for browsing the web, etc. I also found that it took longer to read long passages with Zoomtext for it would beautifully scroll the screen but at a constant rate--not good for jumping around the screen. Then, notebook computers became very popular. the notebook screens were far too small for my hand-held magnifier so Zoomtext was really the only solution. To be honest, though, it was so very uncomfortable using notebooks with my residual vision. One day, I was visiting a friend who was totally blind. I was amazed at how fast he could navigate computer screens and browse the web using Jaws. Up until then, I never considered Jaws for it was a solution for the blind--not the low-vision of which I considered myself. Returning home I began using my computer but was struck at how much slower I was than he. So, I decided to install Jaws on my notebook. I won't kid you, I hated it for about 2 weeks. It was all I could do to keep from invoking Zoomtext. I felt stupid when I could not remember all of the commands that one needs to use Jaws well. Don't get me wrong, I continued to use my usual method on my desktop computer. In fact, I purchased a huge monitor but found that this did not help me as much as I thought because it forced me to lean further to one side or the other in order to track the Insertion point. One day, someone asked me a question and, without thinking, I went to my notebook and found the information more quickly than I had ever before. After that, I began using Jaws to read emails. I couldn't believe it, I was reading them so fast and without straining my eyes or my body. I realized that I could lean back comfortably in my chair and relax as I browsed the web. What was even more important, I could use my notebook without every sighted person in the room being abel to see what I was doing. It was fantastic. Letting go of my vision as a primary means of using notebook computers was the single best thing I've ever done and, I might add, one of the most difficult. Now I use Jaws and VoiceOver 70% of the time. In fact, I would not consider using Zoomtext or a huge screen on a regular basis, anymore. Don't get me wrong, I still enjoy my residual vision and when the proverbial bomb drops and I have to know what's going on the screen, I will use my vision but only in very specific instances such as when I am beta testing. My point: Force yourself to use VoiceOver on your notebook for doing so will free you from the constraints and headaches of using your vision. Making the change will not be easy or feel right until it just does. It's kind of like learning a foreign language. one day, out of nowhere, you will realize that you can speak the language. While I continue to use Jaws 12 and Windows 7 on a daily basis, I can tell you that VoiceOver is one of the most eloquent screen reading solutions I've ever used and given that I got my first screen reader back in 1986, I've seen them all.
