Re: multiple personality ipod shuffle
Hi Jorge, that male voice you hear when you sink the shuffle to the Mac is called Alex. Unfortunately that voice is only available when you sink it to the Mac. When sinked to a PC, you hear that female voice you speak of. There's a youtube video that explains that entitled MS Sam Vs. Mac Alex. There are 2 episodes, and the first episode has 2 parts to it. Wish the author would make more episodes. Here's the link if you want to check it out. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5SnrK8Ow4aQ Shawn -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "MacVisionaries" group.

Nisus writer pro 2 is out.
Hi all. Nisus writer pro 2 is out. It seems rather accessible. There is a lot of new functions, it has been made easier to make a table of content, save it as epub or HTML. One interesting thing that has been added is a function in the spell checker that lets you correct all. I will recommend you to download the trial for free, and try it. You can use the program for free for 14 days. Best regards Annie. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "MacVisionaries" group.

Re: what is up with the Facebook mobile site?
Facebook changes it's interface pretty regularly: in my experience, about the length of time it takes a blind computer user to become familiar with the previous incarnation of the interface.

Re: what is up with the Facebook mobile site?
Hi all! Ok I do not know how many of you have use m.facebook on your phones! So I was wondering could you set that link on the phone and then when you go to it on your Mac you should be ok! If this is one of those things that change back after logging out! Then that wouldn't be much help either! But if this works and it stays in place try it!

Re: Nisus writer pro 2 is out.
Hi. It is a wordprocessor. It was the first wordprocessor I bought for the mac, and the wordprocessor that I like best. In my opinion most functions are easy to use. Another thing is that nisus writer pro can handle really many formats, that I often have difficulties with e.g. in pages. Best regards Annie.

Hi Thomas. I think you should install the demo, and we can try to figure it out together.

My Itunes question
With all this talk about adding files to itunes I thought i would mention the little problem I'm having doing that. Maybe you guys have some ideas how I can fix it. I had a *large* music collection, about 35 GB at the moment, and always growing. I moved it into an external TB drive that we have on our wireless home network. When I got my Mac, I just copied and pasted my music into a new subfolder under "music" from the network drive, to my Mac. then I copy and pasted it into the empty music selection table in itunes. Not all of it copied over though. I have at least 12 gigs missing. I have no idea why. I've deleted the music from Itunes completely and re copy and pasted it several times. I've tried pasting the "transferred music" folder directly in the itunes media music sub folder and nothing seems to work! I'm always just getting the same 22 gigs of music and it's over looking at least 12 gigs of other music and I can't figure out a way to fix this. Any ideas are welcome. thank ou very much for any ideas.

terminal and voice over
Hi Ester, When entering terminal mode, I'm having problems with VoiceOver focusing on where my cursor is. Would you say terminal is accessible? If it is, then what am I missing that makes operating it so difficult? I'm a starter in terminal mode on the mac, but I do know of complex command line syntaxes from my DOS years. The cmd shell in windows is still my friend. What do I do to work nicely in terminal? Any usability suggestions? I'm very interested to start off with it. Kindly, Paul.

You can access them directly from the command line in the Terminal app. I use Terminal so frequently that I have it as one of the default apps in my dock. (The dock can be useful as a quick way to navigate to apps that you use frequently -- you can customize it to remove the apps that you don't often use, and add ones that you do.) The Terminal app is located, not in the applications folder (which you can reach in Finder with the shortcut of Command+Shift+A), but in the Utilities folder, which is a sub-folder of Applications, and which you can reach with Command+Shift+U. Then press "T" to navigate to "Terminal" and launch/open the app. I use Command+Down arrow to do this. By default you'll be using the bash shell. To use ssh, to log into your account on another system you can simply type: ssh AT for example, if your login account name is "scott" and the machine name is "computer. granados.net", you can type: ssh sc...@computer.granados.net and press return or you can use the IP address in place of the domain following the AT sign: ssh scott@168.10.1.2 and press return then type in your password. Use a similar syntax for sftp. Macs use "Open SSH" as the protocol. If you have some Unix/Linux background, there's an old web site: "Top Ten Mac OS X Hints for Unix Geeks": http://www.macdevcenter.

pages the program and columns
Hi Listers, This one is for all of you pages experts out there. I have recently gotten a mac and love it for email and the web!. I am a converting windows user and usually use ms office. Some of my documents require columns (I am a pastor and need this feature when doing church bulletins.) Unfortunately textedit doesn't offer this one. How well does pages do that and how accessible is that feature. Such as can I know when I am in column 1 or column 2? Are there any free and accessible word processing programs which offer such formatting. Thanks in advance for all of your suggestions. rick -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "MacVisionaries" group.

Re: terminal and voice over
First note that the terminal gives you a UNIX shell and accepts most BSD UNIX commands with no major issues. In terms of cursor tracking as long as you "interact" with the text you should not have many problems especially if you read my note from last week.

Re: what is up with the Facebook mobile site?
On the first night that I encountered the big change with FaceBook I got lucky and noticed the having trouble go to the nontouch site link. So, it works as it used to for me. Someone posted a suggestion for the busy busy busy problem and it has worked wonderfully for me and in fact I prefer to do it this way because I can much easier go back to the place where I left off. I was doing the turning VO on and off again but that was extremely frustrating for me. So, what I do now is when I'm on a link be it to comment or see more stories, I access the context menu and select open in new window. Then I add my comment or read the page. When I'm done with that window, I simply close it. This works great when I just want to make a quick comment and after I close the window I am back where I left off on the last page of posts I was reading. As far as the "like" button I just vo space that since I do not need to go to a new page. Have a super day and I hope you all can find the "nontouch" link. Have you all tried the item chooser and seeing if VO can find that link and navigate to it?

Re: terminal and voice over
Hi Esther, It feels like the terminal is way more technical than DOS used to be, but wanting to get to know it means I'll have to start somewhere. The post from Jon doesn't make that much sense to me at this time. Hopefully, you can explain some about the following things: 1. What are scroll back items? I assume this Is your own command history with the command outputs. True? 2. What is the VoiceOver text block? Is it the item in the VoiceOver cursor or something else? 3. Why does Jon make a difference between the terminal window contents and the VoiceOver text block? In other words, if I clear screen my terminal window, could VoiceOver still be reporting things that are already gone for sighted folks? 4. What is curses mode?

Tables in nisus writer pro.
Hi all. I will encourage you to send the feedback to nisus, that we need tables to be accessible. I have just done it myself. The way I did it was to download the program, and go into the help section, there you have a send feedback option.

Re: terminal and voice over
Paul, As I mentioned in the last post, the terminal gives you access to commands in a UNIX shell. Except for the addition of Mac control commands like default s and open mostly what you can do in the terminal is the same as on Linux or BSD UNIX> Ester's book reference is quite good. In the Terminal a sighted person sees about 23 lines of text. On the Macintosh in the default terminal configuration the computer will keep the output of every command in the terminal session to be scrolled back to. So if you have thousands of lines stored up then it makes finding a more recent item difficult. The VO system does not specifically indicate with Keyboard commands what is visible. The trackpad commander does provide this feedback if you are interacting at the lowest level (text).When you start a terminal session the voice over cursor contains the entire contents of the text buffer both visible and scrolled off screen. If you "Interact" with a two finger swipe right or control-option-shift-down you will then be able to view the text line by line or word by word. You also asked about curses... Curses is a UNIX library that allows programs to take advantage of the entire screen of a terminal no matter what brand of terminal is in use. (Remember that UNIX is 40 years old and there were not many graphical computers then.) So with the curses library programmers did not have to write code for every terminal, they just gave calls like clear screen or move cursor to line 5 column 30 , and curses would do it the most efficient way for that terminal. THis was also important when most connections to computers were 1.2 kbps. Most text editors and terminal based chat programs use the curses library.

Re: terminal and voice over
Hi Paul,
I'm going to let Jon respond to some of these points, but some of the details
you reference are in response to a previous question and not specific to your
question. Terminal configuration will make more sense if you read Travis' post
(that I linked) and go through setting up your preferences (Command+comma),
with the "Settings" menu selected from the preferences title bar menu, and the
various tabs ("Text", "Window", "Shell", etc.) set up with the parameters that
Travis recommends. You probably want to change your terminal emulation under
the "Advanced" menu from "xterm-color" to something like vt100 or vt102, but
there's a whole list of setup options, which is why I sent you the link.
Scrollback refers to the fact that the Terminal window is a scrolling window
that by default keeps an unlimited number of rows. It's different from your
"History", which in the unix and linux sense is a list of the commands that you
issued, since the Terminal window also contains the system's response, which is
what you surmised in your question 1. Command-K clears the window of previous
text. Presumably, when you issue a command, you only want to read off the
information that comes back, and not the entire scrolling window, with the
previous commands, hence the distinction about the VoiceOver text block.
VoiceOver will not be reporting things that are already gone if you clear the
window. Curses is a terminal control library for unix-like systems. If you
were a programmer constructing text user interface applications you might use
this. Sorry, but most of the questions we get about Terminal are usually
either from people with a linux or unix background, or people who work in
Information Technology. I'm not an IT professional or programmer myself, so
you'll probably get better answers on some of these details from others. And
even in Travis' post you can skip over the first paragraph, since it's in
answer to programmer specific questions about emacs and gcc (loosely speaking,
an editor -- with a lot of other capabilities, and a compiler collection).
Just start reading the specifics about the terminal setup.
HTH. Cheers,
Esther

Re: what is up with the Facebook mobile site?
Thanks, Christina, for this suggestion. Actually, I rather like it. Since the big change to their page, I still cannot comment or "like" statuses if nobody else has, even with going through the context menu to open a new window. There simply is no link to open, even if I go directly to the person's page. I will keep poking around at it though and see what I can come up with. I do think I will continue to utilize the idea you shared. It really does make it easier to get back to your original position, and definitely eliminates the "Safari busy" message.

Re: The Productive Macs Bundle
Hi, Interesting review. I'd have said that the apps in this bundle were mostly geared to intermediate level users, though TextExpander is something that can work very well even for doing simple things -- like custom-defining signatures, or almost anything that you would spend time typing. It's a real boon for iOS devices (in the form of the separate TextExapander Touch app) where you can minimize the amount of keyboard entry you need to do, and it's especially nice for typing accented character combinations in other languages. I haven't experienced the problems you described using Pathfinder, though admittedly I don't use it all the time. It came as part of another bundle purchase. The nice feature about Pathfinder is the organization of folders separately from the files, and other configurable options. I'm using MoveAddict (separate app, not in this bundle) to cut and paste files since MoveAddict also has the ability to merge folders when you paste in files that are duplicates. I do use it in list view mode, and VoiceOver reads everything. I don't recall whether I restarted my Mac after the initial install before using this, but I wonder whether the issue you had was that the display didn't update current information when it was first launched. The Mail Act On scripts have often been mentioned in the Take Control guide on Apple Mail, and they're generally a good source of information. I have Keyboard Maestro, too (from another earlier bundle purchase), but have only done a few things with it. I have an older version of TextExpander, and didn't update because the first comments about version 3.0 were that some users preferred the old Preference Pane in System Preferences as being more accessible. I'd been thinking about getting the bundle in lieu of just updating TextExpander so I could also get the Mail Act On scripts. It would be nice if the Productive Macs bundle let you designate another license holder for duplicate software the way that the MacUpdate bundles let you do. As you can see, over time you can acquire a lot of software that came from bundles that you bought mainly for one or two items. Thanks for the review, and I'd be interested in learning whether others have had problems with PathFinder of the sort that you report. (I'm running the most recent version).

Re: Nisus writer pro 2 is out.
Hi Christina. I simply can not figure out to use pages. To me nisus is much more easy to use. I know that is different from person to person. Another thing that nisus has made in the new release is a function, so you easily can navigate between items in your toc, that is great. You can setup a hotkey that lets you navigate to the next iten in the table of contents. It is very easy to make a epub book, that I also use much. It is annoying with the lack of accessibility in tables. If that worked I would never use other wordprocessors. Best regards Annie.

Hi there! I suggested to have a look on the site with your phones! Someone rightly said it was made for phones! So could that link show up better on the phone? I do not have a Iphone and the layout could be different than my nokia! If you already tried this then I'm stuck! I'll have to try your suggestion to open a new window!

issue with Skype 5 during phone calls
I'm running the latest everything. When making a Skype call out to a phone line, or when receiving one, about five minutes or so into the call, the person I'm talking to reports that I start breaking up with an intermittent, regular clicking sound. Has anyone else experienced this or know what might be causing it?

Re: abby fine reader express question
Actually, I didn't think it took terribly long to process, but I just don't know if I want to drop $299 on it right now. I just wish there was another solution on the Mac that didn't require using to applications to get a scanned document, as is the case with needing to use Vuscan and then ABBYY Fine Reader. Isn't ABBYY Fine Reader $99? I wasn't successful getting it to work during the trial period, but I kind of put it asside and forgot about it. Now, I'm loathe to put down $99 for it, and then find out I still can't get it to work. My desktop PC I was using to scan with an old Dell all-in-one and ABBYY Fine Reader version 5 has just died, and I don't have a scanning solution at all at the moment. I do have a sighted husband, so it is not terribly urgent. Guess I"m just biding my time here.

Re: abby fine reader express question
Hi Kimberly: Melissa, my Apple partner is going to get a copy of Abby, trial version and check it out for me. I did the same thing you did and lost my trial. I don't mind paying for a good scan/OCR program, but I don't consider the mac solutions offered to be worth it. To pay for an internet dependent program, or link two programs together seems like not such a great deal to me. Before I'd do that, I'd probably upgrade to iPhone 4 and work with one of the scan apps offered for the iDevices. I had to write because you hit a nerve when you said your pc is no longer available to scan with.:) I'm constantly worried about my old Dell giving up the ghost.:) Take care.

Re: abby fine reader express question
Yes, Abby Fine Reader is $99. Hmmm, what type of problem were you having with it? I am assuming you already have the correct driver and software installed for your scanner? And you're right, it would be ideal to have access to a program that would allow you to scan, recognize and read all in one. Unfortunately, other than Docuscan, I don't know of any such program just yet. I have been rather impressed with the scan quality of Abby so far though. :-) -- Jenny Wood Phone: (972) 989-3894 Email: kc5...@gmail.com Facebook/Twitter/Skype: kc5gni On May 20, 2011, at 7:27 PM, Kimberly thurman wrote: > Actually, I didn't think it took terribly long to process, but I just don't > know if I want to drop $299 on it right now.

Honestly Jenny, I don't really remember what my issue was with ABBYY Fine Reader.

Re: BrailleSense with iphone
Glad to hear that. I am going to be working on my project this weekend. I hope I have just as good luck. - Original Message - From: "Donna Goodin" To: Sent: Thursday, May 19, 2011 9:31 PM Subject: Re: BrailleSense with iphone Hi David, Well, good news. I re-paired it again this afternoon, and now all is well. Not really sure what happened yesterday, but at this point all is working as expected.

I thought I had had better luck with this a couple of months back. Anyone have any suggestions?

Re: abby fine reader express question
If I remember correctly, people often used a different program to scan because Abbyy is not good at making friends with a lot of scanners. So, people find it easier to scan with iPhoto or Vuescan and use baby for it's superior OCR and multi-lingual capabilities.
