Re: Looking for an accessible audio converter
Hi Paul Henrichsen, Amadeus costs a lot more than a free program, because it can do so many beautiful things with sound. However, you don't need those amadeus features if it is only batch conversion that you want, so the comparison is not entirely fair. Neither max nor amadeus is just a batch converter. Hope you can find you way in max. By the way, something called adapter is another piece of free software you might like in this regard. Paul.

Re: downloading & running scripts
Hi Rachel, There's a script called movefile.scpt to move files in snow leopard, and there is also an accessible program called move addict. Depending on how long you want to stick with snow leopard, you could consider these. The move file script is free, but I've never used it. Move addict is something I bought for 5 dollars or so, and it worked great under snow leopard. However, the preference panel in move addict, is not accessible if you download the program from the app store. If afterwards, you go to the move addict website, you can download the accessible preferences panel there. I don't have the resources at hand for move file dot scpt and move addict, but I'm sure you can find them on google. Hth, Paul.

Re: FTP
Hi Rachel, The finder can be used to connect to an ftp site. Just use the ftp:// prefix, that is f t p colon slash slash, and then enter the ftp site url in the box, that comes up with command k in finder. Command k is connect to server and you can fill in the details there. Only problem I'm still having, is that I cannot write or upload to the server, but as long as you just want to grab stuff finder is okay. Command k, then fill in the details. Hth, Paul.

Re: -- SPAM --Re: Does VM Fusion work with JAWS?
Hi Rachel, I found Sharp keys thanks to a earlier post but I have not successfully mapped a key in Windows 7. I put Insert in the first column and Grave in the second then pressed the write to registry button but it didn't seem to take. I did restart as recommended. Is it possible I have the order wrong? It seems like many listers have gotten this to work but it has thrown me. I plan to give it another try so any tips would be welcome. I'm really pleased to hear you have it working with Windows 7 as that was a concern of mine as well. Anyone starting out on VM Fusion and following this thread would certainly have a big head start! I can relate to your first experience on the Mac. The learning curve is steep in the beginning. Luckily for many of us we stumble onto a list like this one. Only a few weeks into using my Mac I met a list member here and he contacted me with Skype. We now not only exchange Mac tips but both of us are learning French so part of my Mac success has been in both languages! Again, if you have simple clear directions on remapping keys in using Sharp Keys, that would help a lot to have VM Fusion work best. I saved Paul's directions on Using the VM Fusion option. they were excellent directions and I can repost them for anyone who wants them. But, they sounded a bit beyond my skill level at this moment.

Re: multilingual use
Hello Rachel, Lion has its little problems, but on the whole, it's working OK. For multilingual users, Lion is great! It includes languages such as Chinese, Russian and Greek that don't use the Latin alphabet. Upgrading to Lion is much cheaper than buying additional language packs.

Re: -- SPAM --Re: Does VM Fusion work with JAWS?
Eric, for sharp keys to work it requires 2 registrations per each key, you want to map. For example, if you want the right option key to be the insert, you would do two entries. The right option in windows would be the right windows key, therefore: 1. you make the right windows key go to insert and register. Then the sharp keys wonders: "hey where do i put this right windows key now? I cannot evict this guest and leave it on the streets!" :) Also sharp keys is not that sharp, because it says I have this room hanging open where insert used to be. It does not know insert never existed in the first place on the mac key board. So then you have to do a second entry. 2. if your sharp keys is still open just go to add key. and now make the opposite entry, now insert to right windows key and register. Then you can restart. In your case you just have to make a new entry for grave in the first column and insert in the second column, and register then restart and see if that does the trick for you. sharp keys really believes life is a give and take! :) Hope it made some sense and you can manage to make it work this time. Also, do you mind sending it just to me or posting in this thread Paul's instructions. I like to know more than one way of doing things, we never know when it can come on handy. I am glad French is working well for you. I was learning japanese and I had lots of trouble to find any thing on PC that was compatible with jaws and I did not wanted to buy a $1200 japanese jaws, plus a computer installed with japanese windows and all that jess. I am using windows 7, but to say the true I would have sticked with xp, just because I have to learn how to use windows in a new key board and it has some new features that I am not used to it and since my mac does most every thing, I feel lazy to learn all tips and treks of windows 7.

RE: new mac mini, monitor problem?

Introduction along with a first question
Hi Guys. I just got my Mac on July 17, so I hope you guys will forgive elementary questions and maybe some you talked about before. Although I am new to the Mac, I am not new to computers, my first having been an Apple 2 E. I'm far enough along that the good folks at Apple with whom I have been working can't answer them. By the way, some of the nervy ones that like to play with computers on with days off anyway are loving working with VoiceOver. Here's my first question. I got this PDF file that was filled in. It's a form. What's the best way read one of these things? I selected all the text and put it into TextEdit, but it kept telling me had imbedded things in there. I suspect that's the information she filled in, and if that's so, how can you read that?

Re: multilingual use
Hello Rachel, For Snow Leopard and below, the only voices that work properly without crashing the system are the Infovox iVox voices made by Acapela and sold by Assistiveware. They cost €99 for the first language pack and €49.50 for subsequent packs. That's why I said you'd be better off upgrading to Lion where you can get as many voices as you like for no extra cost. I've been enjoying being able to add German, Spanish and Italian to my collection of voices. Previously, I just had English and French. I still prefer the Acapela voices, but probably wouldn't have bothered getting them had French voices been available from Apple. I remember you asked about VisioVoice. This is software for low vision users. I'm afraid I don't understand it very well, being totally blind myself. But my husband helps low vision users set up VisioVoice to their liking.

Thanks Anne! I am totally blind my self too, maybe this is why I did not see much of a change when I installed visiovoice.

searching for programs like win7 start menu?
Hi all, I have come to realize that I really miss the start menu in win7. Ever since Vista, I stopped using keyboard shortcuts and desktop icons and would just go to the start menu and type in what I wanted. After a few letters, the program would come up and I would just hit enter. Does the mac have anything like this, whether built in or as an app? If it has this functionality built in, what is it and how do I access and use it? Thanks.

Re: searching for programs like win7 start menu?
Alex, use spot light. there are two ways to get to it. 1. command plus space bar 2. vo keys plus m 3 times You can configure to search in the whole computer, or you can get more specific about what you want and how you want to display the results. You configure that on spot light preferences. depend upon how your mac is configured to open items, when you find what you want in the results you either open by: command plus o or just vo space bar HTH, Rachel On Sep 8, 2011, at 9:21 AM, Alex Hall wrote: > Hi all, > I have come to realize that I really miss the start menu in win7.

Re: searching for programs like win7 start menu?
Wow! sure. The dock does this. Its pretty much like the start menu on windows. You put the apps, files and folders you use the most in there and you can access them quickly.

Re: downloading & running scripts
Hi Rachel, You asked: do you know if this problem gets solved in Lion? If you mean: the problem of not being able to move files using the keyboard, then yes. It is now solved. Here's how it works. 1. Go to the file or folder you want to copy or move. 2. Press command c, no matter if you are going to move or copy. 3. Navigate to the location where you want to have the files. 4. Here, if you want to copy them, hit command plus v as usual. If you want to move instead of copy though, hit option command v to paste. command v is paste copy, and option command v is paste move.

Re: top of table?
Hi Alex! Well I use a keyboard commander shortcut to stay in the same column like the subject column in mail! Just in case you might like to set one up and also if you do not already know how to set a shortcut! 1. open vo utility with vo+f8 you will be on general scroll across to the allow vo to be controlled by applescripts and check it! And then press command 8 to take you to commanders! 2. if you already have set up a shortcut before go to next number! Scroll to the enable keyboard commander and check it then choose which option key you would like to use [you can only pick one for all shortcuts] the right one might already be selected, but you could pick the left one if you prefer! If this is the first time in shortcuts in the table you will find some already there! Like say time or open safari! 3. Go passed the table and press the add button! 4. The first item is the field in which you put the letter or number of choice for your shortcut [you must put the choice in before going to the next bit] 5. Arrow to the commands menu button and open it and scroll down to the jump section and arrow into that! 6. Find the jump to top most item or bottom most item and vo space on it and your done! >From now on [for me ] To go to the top of a column I press right option and >number 1 and 2 for the bottom!

Re: top of table?
Hi Alex! Well there is! In snow leopard you have two choices you can try the option key and up or down arrow this will make a sound to say that's wrong [but it works ] if you hold the key down for a sec! The other option is to first press vo+shift+J then vo+shift+either up or down arrow [ of course without the vo/shift/J that command will either interact or stop interacting! This suggestion is to stay in the same column there is one to go to the beginning and end! hth Colin On 8 Sep 2011, at 18:26, Alex Hall wrote: > Thanks, I'll look into that.

Hi Tracy, Why not use the dashboard weather widget. Just press F12, and select the weather widget from the dashboard menu.

Re: Weather Script
Closest I could come up with was adding the weather widget in Safari, showing the widgets bar and then setting a hotspot to the current weather.

Re: new mac mini, monitor problem?
The Mac usually detects displays on waking up or restarting so if you didn't have the switch turned to the mac so it could detect the monitor it might be stuck in a weird state. You might be able to correct things by going to the Preferences->Displays and select the Detect Displays button which is supposed to re-run the hardware detection process. Sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't but more often than not it gets things straightened out. CB On 9/8/11 2:06 PM, Bill Holton wrote: Hey there. Any thoughts on this?

Re: ftp in finder is read only
Hi Chris Blouche, Thanks a lot for this piece of knowledge Chris. I tried it. I installed mac fuse, and mac fusion. Mac fusion seems to have a lot of issues though. I'll mention a few for the knowledge of the list and for the archives. In case someone googled this message: mac fusion is not VmWare fusion. Mac fusion is used to mount filesystems on remote machines, accessible via a protocol like ftp, on to your own mac as a regular volume. This allows editing directly etc. As of now, september 2011, attempting to connect to a server of which I have login credentials gave: process quit unexpectedly. When attempting to delete the entry in the main window where I try to connect to a server, mac fusion asks: are you sure you want to delete the file system, and then the name of the server I'm trying to connect to. This action cannot be undone. Okay button. I clicked okay and it keeps you waiting forever. Fortunately you can command q out of mac fusion. Lastly, when I try to click on the support item in the mac fusion help menu, I get a page does not exist. So for now, I don't think mac fusion is usable for an average user, but it is great that some folks stumbled on this great idea and are trying to make this work. Sorry to have no support page. Paul.

Re: new mac mini, monitor problem?
I know I'm probably going to get some heat for this, I know different strokes for different folks but, is owning a monitor that much of an inconvenience? I've seen this Mac mini monitor saga go on for years now. Literally. lol. I just don't get it. monitors are so cheap, and you can just use HDMI to hook it up to televisions as well. I mean, why try to reinvent the wheel here. Like, what if there is something going on on your Mac that requires sighted help. Your going to invite a sighted person over to assist and say " oh! Do you mind lugging your monitor over to my place? I seem to have misplaced mine.". :). Just my 2 cents.

Re: new mac mini, monitor problem?
Hi Anouk, James, Bill, Chris, Ricardo, and Others, To shortcut the Mac Mini without a monitor thread, and to save Chris from having to reproduce his earlier forum post from the archives, may I suggest that those of you interested in running one of the new model Minis without a monitor check John Panarese's blog post on his macfortheblind site? Here's the URL: http://macfortheblind.com/?p=591 However, if you lose the link, you can just do a Google search for "macfortheblind Mac Mini". The article is titled "Adventures With My Mac Mini" and it describes the experience of setting up a recent Mac Mini for the first time. It also describes the solution Chris Blouch mentioned, of using an Apple mini display port VGA adaptor and hooking this to a VGA to NTSC converter, and gives the link to the source for this device that Chris originally supplied in an earlier list post (along with credits and thanks to Chris.) This would seem to be the fastest and most effective way to find out about this solution for running without a monitor with recent generation Macs. HTH.

Re: -- SPAM --Re: Does VM Fusion work with JAWS?
Hi Rachel, Kliph, and others, I would never have figured out how to do Sharp Keys without these tips. I'm sure once I follow the directions and do the reverse in each column it will work. If I get stuck though I'm taking Kliph up on the offer of a Skype contact! Below are the amazingly detailed directions Paul sent for using VM fusion to re map keys. Hi Eric Caron, Your first question, what to do about a non-existent insert key inside a virtual machine, is quite a story if you want to know the ins and outs. Along the way, we will get there. Here you go. First off, it is true that you have no insert key on the mac, while you often do need one in windows. You can create a key mapping for yourself in 1 of 2 ways. Either using fusion itself, and there is no real down side as far as I'm aware, but it is a little trickey to set up because of an interface issue in fusion. The other way to get an insert key is to use the sharp keys program. Sharp keys lets you remap a few more keys than fusion will allow. For example, using sharp keys, you can even remap your right command, or your right option key, to the windows insert. If you do it via fusion, then all your virtual machines willl get an insert key. If you have windows 7 and xp like I do, creating the insert key using the fusion keyboard remapper creates it for all virtual machines because fusion only allows you to do it inside its global preferences, command comma, and not on a per machine basis, command e. If you create your insert key using sharp keys, then it is going to be a local setting for that windows installation only, because sharp keys modifies the windows registry to do the trick. Both methods will give you the same result: an insert key that is not just insert, but that can be held down as if it were a modifier key for other keys. This answers your other issue, where capslock cannot be used inside the virtual machine as a modifier. It works as a caps lock, but you can't hold it down and press a letter inside the virtual machine, in order to give commands to your screen reader. Sharp keys and fusion itself though, will give you an insert key like the one on a normal windows computer. This lets you use insert rather than caps lock for your screen reader's commands, so let's concentrate on insert, and I will leave caps lock for someone else. Now, let's look at the way you can do it inside fusion. I'm using fusion 3.1.3, which is the latest version as of today. To update, go to the menu bar in fusion, vo m, then once right, then down to check for updates, and then follow the instructions. First, fire up fusion and, just to be certain, have your virtual machines shut down. Then press command comma to open fusion's global preferences. At the top of this window is a toolbar. Interact with it and click keyboard and mouse. A new window will appear. The first thing you will encounter is a pop up button where you choose your keyboard and mouse profile. The window itself consists of 4 tab sheets, and all those settings together are stored in a keyboard and mouse profile. I don't think we will ever need a second profile, but that's what the button allows. Leave it at its default. The first tab sheet of this dialog, named, key mappings, is where you can swap your windows logo and alt keys. By default, fusion will map your command key to the windows logo key, and your option key to the windows alt key. This is not very intuitive for those of us who are used to windows and its keyboard layout, but it's easy to swap them. See below. In this window, you will also be able to create your insert key inside fusion, and if you want, give yourself a num lock toggle as well. If you look at this table, then many mac keys are mapped to some windows counterparts. Personally, I don't think that is necessary at all. For example, in windows, you use control plus c to copy an item to the clipboard. On the mac, we're used to pressing command plus c to copy. In fusion, there is a default key mapping that makes command c the equivalent of control c. In other words, pressing control c or command c in windows will do the same thing. This is non-standard windows tweaking I don't like, so what I did to begin with, is clear this entire list. To the right of this table, you have 2 unlabeled buttons. The left one is add, and the right one is delete and entry in this table. Just focus on the right button of the 2, and hit vo space until the list is empty. You will also delete the undesired alt and windows logo key mappings this way. Now, you must create your own mappings, so that your mac command key will become the alt key in windows, and so that your option key can become your windows logo key inside windows. Here's how to do it. First, click add, to add a new mapping to the table. This is the left unlabeled button, to the right of the table. A new window appears, that you will later close with an ok bu
Re: commands for editing and reviewing text?
Hello Alex, If you want the VO commands to work in a text document, you have to interact with the text area, otherwise, you can only use the native Mac commands. You can find all the VO commands by pressing VO-h-h (hold down the VO keys and press the letter h twice). The commands are organised into submenus, and each one is shown with its key combination if it has one. You can create your own shortcuts for any VO command using one of the commanders, which are to be found in the VoiceOver Utility, category Commanders.

Re: commands for editing and reviewing text?
But do those allow you to go there and edit that line or sentence or paragraph? Do they let you select a sentence and copy it? Unfortunately not, thus while it may be handy to have vo read the current sentence, that's not really what was asked for.

Hello Erik, Although the VO commands don't allow you to edit, they do offer more navigation options, and they don't prevent you from using the shift key with the arrow keys, so you get the best of both worlds.

Re: ftp in finder is read only
So according to the Google code page http://code.google.com/p/macfuse/ MacFuse hasn't been updated since December 2008. Wow, that's old. I found a site that claims to have a forked version called 2.1.9 and has an unofficial release for download which supposedly works with 64bit OSX. I downloaded his build and installed it. This build was from December 2010 so a good bit newer. Running the installer adds a MacFuse item to my preferences which said it was 2.1.9 beta. The docs said I had to reboot for it tow work which I did. Then I went and download MacFusion. After unpacking I had an app also dated December 2010 which I copied to my Applications folder. After launching it it said the agent wasn't running so I started it. Then I had an empty table with the common button, remove and another button. The first button is Add and I had to do a VO-shift-m to get the menu to pop up and then down arrowed to FTPFS. I was the presented with a form. First blank was a name which I called Bob followed by the expected stuff like host, username etc. My table now has one 'unknown' row with Edit and mount buttons. I hit Mount and after a bit it showed the volume but I couldn't write anything to it. G. CB On 9/8/11 2:14 PM, Paul Erkens wrote: Hi Chris Blouche, Thanks a lot for this piece of knowledge Chris.

Mac fusion is used to mount filesystems on remote machines, accessible via a protocol like ftp, on to your own mac as a regular volume. This allows editing directly etc. As of now, september 2011, attempting to connect to a server of which I have login credentials gave: process quit unexpectedly. When attempting to delete the entry in the main window where I try to connect to a server, mac fusion asks: are you sure you want to delete the file system, and then the name of the server I'm trying to connect to. This action cannot be undone. Okay button. I clicked okay and it keeps you waiting forever. Fortunately you can command q out of mac fusion. Lastly, when I try to click on the support item in the mac fusion help menu, I get a page does not exist. So for now, I don't think mac fusion is usable for an average user, but it is great that some folks stumbled on this great idea and are trying to make this work. Sorry to have no support page. Paul.

pear note for the ipad, is it accessible, pls help
Hello all, As student, I have used pear note for the mac while taking notes. This app can record while you write in the editor of pear note and, when you jump to a written word in the text, the recorded track is jumping to the moment that you where typing that text. So, for me very usefull. No, the app for thte ipad is out and it seems accessible but , I can't let it work like on the mac. I can record and play beck, rewind in the record and fast forward but, while pearnote is recording, the editfield seems to be ddisabled. I don't know if the edit-field is the rigtht one but it's the field where "untitled document" is written. If someone understands the program for ipad and can use it, It would be great to share it. I can also mail to the developer but, at this moment, I can't explain what is wrong.

Actually, I have found a use for these. They are clunky and I don't like them as much as the mac Os ones. But if I interact with something I'm typing they will let me navigate on my braille display. I've set up my braille connect 32 notetaker style, with the joystick mapped to the up down left and right arrows, then the following key bindings: next and prev letter: space + d4 and space + d1, Redundant but whatever. Next and prev word: space + d4, space + d2, Next and prev sentence: space + d6 and space + d3, Next and prev paragraph: space +d56 and space plus d23, Top and bottom: space + D456 and space + d123, Now I need to make it mark a passage where I tell it to and select that passage for copying.

Re: -- SPAM --Re: Does VM Fusion work with JAWS?
thanks a lot! Now in another note related to this tic, would you know how to chang the key which is assigned as the jaws key in the jaws it self? I mean I have trouble because in laptop mode sometimes the capslock key works as the jaws key and some functions only work with the capslock instead of the insert key. I asked freedom a while ago but they would not help. they just said if the key was not working it was because it was a virtual machine and jaws just does not work. Of course this is not a mac related question directly. But I read in version 11 and 12 we can reassign the jaws key to a few different options. I just wonder how?

Austin, I wonder how accessible this app is for the iPad and if the dev would work on that as well. Might have to contact that person and ask the question.

Re: downloading & running scripts
All, I have to point out that this was never a problem in SNow Leopard. As far as I know the move function is new and was introduced with Lion. So, that would mean then there was no problem, but instead an enhancement. On Sep 8, 2011, at 11:12 AM, Paul Erkens wrote: > Hi Rachel, > > You asked: do you know if this problem gets solved in Lion?

I'm anoy with vo text navvigation
Duh, What is this? I discovered I can add a function to my braille display called toggle selection. I added this and now when I am in text edit, I can start selecting on my braille display. Then I can use the nifty navigation commands I just set up to select words, sentences and so on. Then I can delete them, cut or copy them, and do all kinds of crazy cool stuff. So my annoyance arises when I start typing up a new email and in the message body edit toggle selection doesn't work. What happens? I get start selection. I select what I want. I get stop selection and when I turn selection off it either deselects everything or simply hasn't selected it in the first place. Anybody else run into this? It's really busted my bubble. I got so excited when it worked in text edit. Best, Erik Burggraaf This month in Ebony Promos: Two new gps systems for demo. Mac OS Lion When will it be supported?

Re: twiter client on the mac
hi Alex, thanks, it is working great for me! Paul, I am getting the hang of it. There are a couple of text boxes one changes according to what you are doing and the what is search. You also have a drop check box for attaching a picture tags and other things to your tweet, reply or whatever else you are doing and there is another column with all the people you follow. There is a button I am ot sure for what yet. And there is a way for your to see all the tweets of an specific friend. For tweeting, just do command n and just type and hit enter it will make a sound if it is successful. to DM just go where all your friends tweet are select the person you want and press d or command d, cant remember now. Pretty straight forward I think. Let me know if this is helpful. Can explain more once I figure it out well. HTH, Rachel.

Re: I'm anoy with vo text navvigation
Hello Erik. Ok, this brings up another question. A while back, me and a lady with AppleCare drove ourselves crazy trying to get assign VoiceOver commands to keys on my Focus 40. We never did get it to work no matter what we did. She got the answer from someone that this was not going to work and that it would need to be fixed in a software update to VoiceOver. Now it sounds like you got your braille keys mapped to dVoiceOver commands like delete, etc. How did you get it to work, or is this something that works with some braille displays and not others?

Re: I'm anoy with vo text navvigation
Hum, OK, for my tests I'm using a braille connect 32. As far as the delete goes, it's not possible in SL to perform a delete or a backspace or a carriage return from any braille display. I was able to assign all the navigation keys for paragraphs, words, sentences and such. There's also an assignable command to bring up the context menu. So, anything that's in the context menu such as copy, paste, and spelling suggestions can be accessed directly from the braille display. I was able to assign commands just fine with a focus blue, but I've never tried it with the classic focus. If you email me exactly what you were trying to assign and what steps you took, I might be able to spot something. Best, Erik Burggraaf This month in Ebony Promos: Two new gps systems for demo.

The apex problems were confirmed by an hw rep. Basically, I would select or add a command, then hit cmd-b and hear the sound that indicates it is time to press the braille keys.

Re: I'm anoy with vo text navvigation
Well, key assignment in Lion for the Focus 40 is now broken, darn it. This is the one regret I have on upgrading to the current OS X. I used to be able to assign keys, even backspace and delete, and now they are neither listed in the default assignments, nor are they or anything else able to be assigned.

grade 2 braille files
Hi Guys. I promise this is my last post of the day. However, I just tried a suggestion that was given to me earlier today on this list. Unfortunately, it didn't work. Luckily, this is not something I meed right now, but I will need it if I ever have to send my PacMate in for repair. I tried turning off braille translation and putting it on uncontracted braille. It is translating into grade 1, so any braille file that is already in grade 2 will not read on the braille display properly. If anybody finds out how to read a grade 2 file on the Mac without translating it into anything else, please let me know. I am a braille proofreader, so translating a braille file is not something I usually need. I need to see a braille file exactly the way the transcriber did it, just like you would in Web braille.

Re: more system sound feedback?
Hi Paul and others, I finally got around to playing with Growl. I followed this thread and checked out the applications table in ?Growl. For me right now all there is in the table is Skype and Dropbox. I saw others mention mail and even getting sounds for power being unplugged or for USB mounting. Can someone give me a tip on how to get more of these options.

New User Mac Mail Question
Hi All I have a new Mac Book Air 11Inch. I have my gmail account working well. But can't seem to get my windows live account working. I went into Mail,Calendars and Contacts in system preferences and added the account as an exchange account however it doesn't seem to appear in mail or contacts. There were some errors when I first set it up but I think I have fixed these. At least I go back into check the account it seems to be there and all the fields seem to be filled out. I have ensured that the ticked boxes are ticked to enable Mail and Contacts. Has anyone got any ideas as to what I have done wrong.
