Re: solving visual captchas with mac and safari
Chris, Have you used opera? I installed, but could not make it read pages, I can read the bar and stuff, but not page content, do you think I might be missing some information? Also, I have the webkit installed, and safari keeps on crashing in several pages I need to view when hovering over a certain type of content that I cannot pin down exactly what it is. But if I use a sighted people's mac that does not have any thing, safari does not seem to crash in the same pages. Do you think it is one of those cases, of things that are broken with the webkit? Thanks, Rachel.

Re: accessible games and lion?
Hi Anouk. Have you tried the RS Games client. The RS Games client is free and contains games like Monopoly, Uno, Blackjack, Yatzee, 1000 Miles and Battleship. Unfortunately Monopoly and Yatzee don't work in Lion yet and I don't know if they ever will. I sent an email to them asking when they'll be fixed a month ago but I didn't get a response. Also, if you have some site, you should try some video game emulators. I have a few that I quite enjoy, Mame OS X specializes in coin operated arcade games, SNES9X as you may have guessed already specializes in Super Nintendo games, Mupen 64 Specializes in Nintendo 64 games, and PCSX specializes in PS1 games but you need Bios for them in order to work.

Re: solving visual captchas with mac and safari
the sad part is that loads of programers think firefox is the most accessible browser out there. They get shocked to find it does not work on the mac.

NTFS in Lion
Hi, since Lion I'm not able to connect my external HD to my Computer. It is formatted in NTFS. Unfortunately I'm forced to use NTFS on this HD because on my work we use exclusively Windows XP. So I know Express FAT works fine for Mac and Win7. But we don't use Win 7 on my work place. So I have to stick with NTFS. In Snow Leopard I used NTFS3G but that doesn't work for Lion. And as far as I could tell there's no update yet that allows to use it in Lion. I'm grateful for all ideas.

Re: NTFS in Lion
Hi, Yes I came across this seem situation as well when i wanted to use my external 1.5 tb disk with lion. The folks that have made ntfs-3g also have on their site a commercial ntfs driver that works well with lion and has a 14 day free trial. After that it will cost 25 euro though, about 30 dollars. If you search for ntfs-3g through google the first page will be the one you want and because they heavily promote this commercial driver you cant miss it there.

adium

I just want vo to actually read what the person wrote right after it arrives? Just like in good old windows live. Oh, and if any one knows how to make that happen in skype too, would be great!

Re: adium
Hi, Well, I guess you know you have to install growl first? Google for growl mac and you will find it. It will install and you will be able to configure it through system preferences. It will allow announcements by a lot of applications to be spoken by alex. For me i installed growl first and then adium and skype. With adium for me it automatically write to me in messages. for skype it is not automatic but people tell me it can be configured in growl to work.

Re: Weather / Temperature Apple Script
Johnathan, Tried curl. Unfortunately the dump is not plain text as in lynx. It more resembles xml than anything else. I am not far enough into learning Apple Script to be able to handle parsing text strings yet, so chose this method. Attempted to use python to do it, but it wanted to open a terminal every time I ran it. Got pissed off so went in another direction and wound up with what I posted. If there is anyone familiar with how to parse the curl output I would appreciate the input.

Nope, the intent was to only have the temperature read to you. Not the entire forecast. And I sort of like to have Tessa tell me what the temp is.

Re: Weather / Temperature Apple Script
What amazes me is that some missed the point of the script. Ricardo points out that hitting f12 drops him on the weather widget and that is just great; however, not everyone has that particular item there at all times. iN fact I tend to keep the calendar widget as the one with focus. The other point some have missed here is the learning opportunity of how such scripts could be very useful. Perhaps there are other ways to accomplish the same task, but you need to look beyond this specific task and see it for what it is and that is a learning opportunity. So, what more do "you people want?" Not much, but a new experience in how something simple can be used for other tasks. Of course if there is a way to use the applications available in the OS such as curl that would be great since it means just one less thing to load.

Re: Weather / Temperature Apple Script
Donna, you are making the assumption that someone would always have that widget always in focus. This may be a lot of work for you, but the ends justifies the means. Your entitled to your opinion of course; however, aside from the learning opportunity, you still are assuming that this widget is always going to be in focus. FOr me I always have the calendar available. Another point here to keep in mind is that you cannot control the sources of the weather widget; however, this script could conceivably be used to pull weather data from nearly any source. In fact you could even have your own weather station and use such a script to capture the information from that weather station.

Re: quickly going from window to window in one app?
Sure, it's command and the accent key. The accent key is located above the tab on the north american keyboard which I suspect is one reason why they chose it.

Re: reading unprotected pubs on the mac?
Hello Anouk, You can use either Stanza or Adobe Digital Editions (the new preview version) to read unprotected epub on the Mac. Adobe Digital Editions will also read some protected files, too. I've managed to read a book from Kobo with it. Cheers, Anne On 11 Sep 2011, at 16:04, Anouk Radix wrote: > Hi, is it possible to read unprotected epubs on the mac with vo?

Re: Weather / Temperature Apple Script
All, Like Scott said, this was an exercise in learning Apple Script and to facilitate the request of another list member. They did not want all the information that the weather widget gave. All they wanted was the outside temperature. If the weather widget works for you then by all means continue to use it and ignore this thread. I could really give a crap if you like or dislike the way myself or others wish to garner our information. So with that said, I have found that there is a way to do this with curl. Open your Apple Script editor and copy the following line into it. With this code you do not have to install Xcode or Mac Ports. And in the interest of full disclosure, I am also going to post the original Mac Hints snippet in case anyone is interested in whether or not it's going to be hotter today than yesterday. Oh and as before, make sure you substitute 33617 with your own zip code. *** Code starts on next line *** do shell script "curl -s http://www.wunderground.com/cgi-bin/findweather/getForecast?query=33617 | grep -A 2 tempActual | textutil -convert txt -stdin -stdout -format html | say -r 400" *** Code ends here *** Original Mac Hints code, with a pipe to say added by me. *** Code starts on next line. *** do shell script "curl -s http://www.wunderground.com/cgi-bin/findweather/getForecast?query=33617 | awk '/Today is/ || /Tomorrow is/' | textutil -convert txt -stdin -stdout -format html | say -r 400" *** Code ends here. *** If you have any problems or suggestions, please don;t hesitate to ask or criticize. I personally find that this method is slower than the other way, but it does not require any additional installs. Have fun.

Re: adium
I have never gotten Growl to announce the contents of messages in Skype as they come in; all I can coax from the events pane is an announcement of status changes or message arrivals. However, Growl WILL speak the contents of messages for Adium, and I prefer to use this app for texts and Skype for telephony just for this reason. So, if someone *does* have Alex speaking the body of incoming messages as they arrive, I'd appreciate the "for dummies," explanation of this. Thanks! :) • Mark BurningHawk Baxter • AIM, Skype and Twitter: BurningHawk1969 • MSN: burninghawk1...@hotmail.com • My home page: • http://MarkBurningHawk.net/ -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "MacVisionaries" group.

Java Script message boxes cause VoiceOver to say "busy"
Hello. I've noticed that since I upgraded to Lion, VoiceOver doesn't seem to like message boxes that are on some web sites. Java Script is used to create these message boxes. To see what I am talking about, open http://www.webteacher.com/javascript/ch01.html. Type something into the form. Then activate the "show me" button. Does VoiceOver read the box or does it say "busy?" I'm thinking about emailing accessibil...@apple.com, but I want to make sure it's not my machine first. Thanks.

Re: Weather / Temperature Apple Script
Hi Keith, I'll just add that if you want the say command in your AppleScript to announce the temperature in another voice, you can also set that as an argument and use any of your installed system voices (including the InfoVox voices if you have them). For example, if you're a French user in Snow Leopard with the InfoVox French voice you could change the last part of that shell script to a pipe to "say -v Alice", for example, or other valid voice on your system. It looks as though there's an extra argument to the "say" command in Lion that is not in Snow Leopard. Does the "r" switch allow you to specify a speech rate? (That's not something you can do in earlier versions of Mac OS X.)

The other point some have missed here is the learning opportunity of how such scripts could be very useful. Perhaps there are other ways to accomplish the same task, but you need to look beyond this specific task and see it for what it is and that is a learning opportunity. So, what more do "you people want?" Not much, but a new experience in how something simple can be used for other tasks. Of course if there is a way to use the applications available in the OS such as curl that would be great since it means just one less thing to load.

Re: Java Script message boxes cause VoiceOver to say "busy"
This is not a OS X Lion or Voiceover issue, but one specific to Safari 5.1. JavaScript pop-up hangs/busies have been fixed for a while in Webkit (engine Safari is based on and is updated constantly with new features and bug fixes). Most of these updates end up getting rolled into a later version of Safari. Download/install Webkit from: http://Webkit.org The user interface, experience and all is very similar to Safari.

Re: Question about Safari and reader
Safari reader has worked for me on all websites, where it should work, without any fail at all. If you are able to provide specific websites/URL's of where Safari reader is failing, this would allow list members to confirm/deny if reader is working, report it as a Safari bug, and/or suggest any work-arounds.

I am enjoying this thread. I agree that the weather widget isn't always up front in dash board.

Apple to the core: episode 4. selecting text on webpages

grade 2 Braille files
Ok, Teresa. I don't understand something. If the iPod also doesn't have a computer braille option, how are you able to read grade 2 files on your braille display without translating them? Since I'm a braille proofreader, translating grade 2 files is not workable for what I'm doing. A little confused.

Tax Program
Hi Guys. I am planning for next year's taxes. Maybe I am doing something wrong, but those pdf files the IRS puts up under those accessible tax forms don't seem to be working so well with Preview.

Re: solving visual captchas with mac and safari
I find that rather interesting. now why would the general public (and business professionals) get the impression that mozilla was the most accessible web browser for any OS? sure it works well with windoweeyes and jaws in the windows platform. it also works mostly with orca in linux. it does not work at all in OS X with voiceover (and I have even tried growl with it and still had a lot of issues). I have sent more than a few emails over the last few years and all I get back is nothing but a load of crapola and finger pointing. now I know we can't prevail upon a bunch of volunteer code monkeys and still have them do the work. if they were paid and we wrote the checks, that would certainly be a different case. -Eric On Sep 11, 2011, at 12:43 AM, Rachel magario wrote: > the sad part is that loads of programers think firefox is the most accessible > browser out there.

Re: creating extended journal encrypted partition on ntfs drive
Nope, you can't resize an NTF partition. However, if you don't have anything of value on that drive yet, you can create 2 partitions, 1 being NTFS and the other being Journal if you wish too! Yes, you will loose any data on that drive, but, you will only have to do it once.

Re: Facebook Issues
Thank you, apparently this photos system has been in place since summer 2010. Even sighted people are struggling with it because they might have friends they added just for gaming purposes, so they don't know what they look like. Also apparently the photos could be of anything. There just taken from a person's profile and so some people have been asked to identify inanimate objects as friends. Very odd. Goodness knows why Facebook can't verify who people are by asking the secret questions that you set up when you first sign up. On 11/09/2011, Rachel magario wrote: > I'll report that for you.

Re: Weather / Temperature Apple Script
It's just different schools of thought. Some mac users don't want to learn the terminal nor scripting as it is quite a complicated albeit powerful tool, while those who do have a comprehensive set of skills in unix and have delved into appplescript can actually find their ways into making their macs pretty unique in the way they use it. I can speak for those in IT as a lot of tasks are repetitive, involve many terminal commands, and those scripts are a real time saver. I'm in the latter school, and sometimes i need to tone myself down when i have a discussion with mates over beer and the subject of voice over, jaws etc, but most importantly the use of the computer hits the table. I get amazed by how some just don't google stuff they wish to know, or at least don't make it a form of extension of themselves. But i know that they will get to it one day, i just won't push them to. In the meantime, i prefer customizing my experience with a gesture and peter infovox telling me what temperature it is, nothing else. Just like the time script i wrote in my early days of scripting.

Re: NTFS in Lion
I am assuming your using the free version? if so, to my knowledge, there isn't an update for Lion. However, the paid version does have an update and it seems to be working perfectly. You can download a 15 day trial at: http://www.tuxera.com/products/tuxera-ntfs-for-mac/ if you have the paid version, updates are free for life.

Re: creating extended journal encrypted partition on ntfs drive
Even if you by the commercial driver, I am fairly sure that you can resize an NTFS partition with the built in drive utility, after all, this is a mac! You might be able to do it with a third party program, I am not sure about that.

Re: problems macfuse +ntfs3g
Yes, the free version worked under SL, but, not under Lion yet. I think, they will eventually get around to upgrading it, but, you know, it's something for nothing, it will happen when it happens. Besides, the free version caused some weird problems when using Lion, so, now, at least, if I have weird problems, I can get some support if needed.

Re: reading unprotected pubs on the mac?
Hello Anouk, Here's the link to download Adobe Digital Editions. I like it much better than Stanza and it works for Kobo books. It's not so good with Braille, however. The upside is, you can copy each page into a TextEdit document by using the "Copy the last spoken phrase to the clipboard" command (VO-Shift-C). Right arrow takes you to the next page. Here's the link: Cheers, Anne On 11 Sep 2011, at 20:11, Anouk Radix wrote: > Hi Anne > I thought stanza was not accessible on the mac or is this only applicable > where protected content is concerned.

Re: Weather / Temperature Apple Script
Ester, I did not know that the rate switch was not available in earlier versions of OSX. I actually found it by…wait for it…RTFMing. . Doing a man on say gave me all that info. The value for the rate is in words per minute according to the man page. Quite frankly I think they are full of it because I set it to 1000 and was able to understand every word. Maybe Alex tops out at around 600 or so. Anyway, having fun playing around with all this myself. Now if only I could get Tessa to cook me a nice dinner I would be in heaven.

Re: Weather / Temperature Apple Script
Tracey, Yep, all you do is copy that line into the Apple Script editor and then do a command r to run it. Once you see it is working you then save it off to a file and point the Voice Over keyboard commander at the file and away you go.

Hi all, someone told me that mac 2011 has trouble with runing xp. Can anyone confirm this? Should I try to get windows 7? Does jaws 11 work at all with windows 7? Thanks for your thoughts!

Re: This has brought up library questions
OK. Information in /System/Library is only supposed to be Apple items. Items in /Library/ are items available to all users of the computer. Items in /Users/myUserName/Library are generally only available to myUserName If the computer is only being used by the owner, then there is no real difference between items in /Library and items in those in your personal Library. In some cases like sound files it will search the 3 Libraries in order (I don't remember the order) and use the first file it finds. I believe with plist files like preferences it will read in all the files and have the later files override settings from the earlier plist files.

Re: VO reading message list?
Some Snow Leopard folks actually deleted all the fields in the messages table and then re-added them in order they wanted. Tables including this one have a column header that a sighted person can see, and that VO's trackpad commander can access if you go to the top of the column with a single finger. When you are in the column headings you should be able to drag and drop them in the order you want. I would try drop before / drop after commands. VO- less and VO greater respectively.)

Re: Ripping cps with Amadeus?
Thanks. Can Amadeus rip tracks from a cd and create mp3 files? I'm concerned about doing this with iTunes as every time I open an mp3 with iTunes, it thinks it should add it to my music library so that I then have to go in and remove them. Very odd since I never saw this behavior in windows. If Amadeus can't rip mp3 files from a cd, what would I use other than iTunes? As an example: I have the bar code reader from AT guys. There is a cd with a tutorial. If I rip the tracks from the cd or even open the resulting mp3 file with iTunes, it's going to add that mp3 to my music library for some reason. So, I want to create an mp3 file off of the cd so I can then transfer that to my book sense for listening. Can Amadeus rip those tracks from the cd; or do I need to look for some other program?

Re: Unexpected behavior with iTunes and playing mp3 files
Thanks. At least that way, when I open an p3, vlc will open it instead. That should keep it out of my iTunes library. Odd; because the windows version of iTunes doesn't do this.

Re: Ripping cps with Amadeus?
Hi there again, I'm not sure if you can rip the track directly, but it's worth a try. Amadeus should be able to import the entire CD and then copy it to another CD. I'm sure there is a simpler program for doing this directly, but Amadeus will give you the option of saving individual traqcks, and saving them in a variety of formats, including MP3. The manual gives a pretty good explanation of various file types and the pros and cons of each. Tom Frank vermont...@gmail.com On Sep 11, 2011, at 9:13 PM, Paul Henrichsen wrote: > Thanks.

Re: Unexpected behavior with iTunes and playing mp3 files
Hi. On further investigation, I have found that choosing other from open with and selecting vlc still only opens that particular file. If you open another mp3 file, it opens with iTunes. There doesn't appear to be a way on the mac to say only open mp3 files with vlc and no other app. On Sep 11, 2011, at 6:16 PM, Paul Henrichsen wrote: > Thanks.

Re: Ripping cps with Amadeus?
Hi. I don't want to copy tracks to a cd, but just rip them from the cd. Once I have the resulting mp3 files, I will probably transfer them to my book sense. I would use iTunes to do this, but it will then put the resulting mp3 files into my music library forcing me to search for and remove them. Under windows, I could use gold wave or easy CDA extractor, but I'm not sure there is anything equivalent on the mac.

Re: making a website on the mac?
Sorry for the additional post, my last one was a bit unclear. There is a program called sandvox sandbox but the b as in bravo has been changed to a v as in Victor. This program seems to allow some interesting HTNL editing, but I did not spend much time on it. You can download it for free, and I believe it is shareware.

I was looking at my iTunes music library last night and realized that every mp3 file I had played or opened was now in my library. Most of these were audio files or podcast files I had opened.

Since anything audio opened on the mac is going to be played with iTunes, is there any way to tell it not to add it to the library; just play it? I also have vlc on my system, but I don't see any way to Tell the mac that any mp3 file opened should be played with vlc rather than iTunes. You can use open with, but that doesn't mean that every mp3 opened from then on will be played with vlc. I don't want to have to keep cleaning out my iTunes music library. Any ideas?

Re: Unexpected behavior with iTunes and playing mp3 files
Hi. I didn't see any message from you earlier. Could you please send it again? I'd be interested in solving this problem. Thanks. On Sep 11, 2011, at 7:18 PM, Tim Kilburn wrote: > Hi, > > I disagree.

Difficulty reading a pdf manual in the viewer
Hi, guys. I'm having difficulty figuring out how to read a pdf manual in the viewer. Particularly, I am trying to read the Amadeus manual. I can't figure out how to read it line by line like I would do in windows by pressing down arrow. I have tried interacting with the text, but it seems that VO right arrow is the only way to read anything. What if you wanted to quickly peruse a manual by page without doing a search? If you find something in the table of contents, is there a way to jump to that particular section? I'm not even sure where the manual was stored. I would have thought it would have been in the documents folder, but it doesn't appear to be there. The only way I can get to it is through the help menu. Reading documentation seems much harder on the mac than under windows. Any help would be appreciated.

Amazon Subscribe and Save Weirdness
Ok, this is odd indeed. I am using Lion 7.1. when I go to amazon subscribe and save, I can't change or edit any of my orders. The links are there, but, when I attempt to click on change, edit billing and or shipping info etc. nothing happens. However, if I turn off VO, then, they work just fine. So, I turn off VO, hit enter to click on change, then, turn VO back on and it works fine. The other links on amazon, at least, as far as I know work just fine. I have tried, just enter, VO-spacebar and even vo-shift-spacebar. Any ideas on this weird behavior. This happens on both Safari and the latest build of Webkit. Any ideas or suggestions would be most helpful, thanks. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "MacVisionaries" group.

Re: making a website on the mac?
Thanks a great deal. I will try it. I basically need some kind of wizard interface which allows you to create a webpage even when you dont know html.

Re: reading unprotected pubs on the mac?
Hi, thats a pity that it doesnt work well with braille. I will have to see if I cant find a converter to convert epub to html instead.
