Re: music notation software

2011-09-19 Thread David Hole
Hi.
Yes, Sibelius is available for the Mac, but it anin't accessible.
I sent them a mail regarding that right after the 7.0-release, and
they said accessibility could be added in the future, but it isn't
right now.

 I've been wondering how I'm going to go about this, when I get the iPhone, 
 because I know my phonebook and addressbook are not going to match.  I'm 
 sort of thinking I should begin manually adding numbers to the 
 addressbook, and consolidating email addresses?
  
 How about when you only have a phone number for a contact, no email, such 
 as a business?
  
 All tips are welcome.

Re: List of mail recipients in Snow Leopard?

2011-09-19 Thread Red.Falcon
Hi Kevin!
OK the only thing I can suggest is to open the previous recipients and go 
through them that way!
The fastest  way I know is control+f2 for main menu, then type W for the window 
menu and just arrow down to previous [or just type P R ] and once on there 
vo+space!
In that window you can do a search or interact with the table to scroll  and 
there is options to remove and add to address book!

Re: Mail questions

2011-09-19 Thread Jon Cohn
Are you running Snow Leopard?  I  don't know theconfiguration of signatures
for Lion. 

To create a folder there is a button at the bottom of the list of folders.  
Clicking this button is the easiest way to create a folder.  I believe you can 
also create one  using a contextual menu on any folder.  The match patter for 
items with a completely blank signature would be "Subject" "is equal to" ""

Where the last item would just be a blank entry. (hit command-a to select all 
and then hit delete)

Best wishes,

Jonathan

Re: List of mail recipients in Snow Leopard?

2011-09-19 Thread Jon Cohn
Kevin,

What I do is the following:
After typing a bit of a name I stop.  Voice over then announces "new window" I 
then make sure quick nav is turned off and just use the down arrow key.  Also, 
if the name mentioned is the one you want, then it will be completed by typing 
a comma.

Best wishes,

Re: Your contacts

2011-09-19 Thread erik burggraaf
It's not difficult, but it took me a little while because I had to look up the 
procedure for each of my three devices.  I won't be able to do a step-by-step 
until the end of the week if it's still wanted.  My work schedule is really 
heavy until thursday.  Mark Taylor did a podcast on it last year though.  It's 
what got me all excited about google exchange.  You could start there and look 
up the instructions for your particular devices if you don't want to wait for 
me.

Hi Guys. 
I know I'm not an expert on braille music, but I can read some of it. I think 
you would need a computer braille option for VoiceOver if you're reading 
braille music. Do I understand it right that you want braille music software?

Battery life on Macbook pro if running Windows

2011-09-19 Thread Jared
I'm considering buying a Macbook pro and dule booting it. I will
probably use it half mac and half windows. I've heard that the battery
life with Windows is poor, but all the articles I've found stating
this are from 2009. I'm curious what people have found battery life is
like when running Windows with Jaws as the screen reader.

New release of pages soon???

2011-09-19 Thread Christina
Hello Macvisionaries,

I am very behind on the latest apple news.  Are there any rumors of a new 
release of Pages soon?  I am considering purchasing Pages from the mac app 
store but I'd hate to do that and then apple releases a new version in a few 
weeks.  I need to be able to open and read a few .doc documents.

Thanks so much,
Christina

Bootcamp or fusion and open office?

2011-09-19 Thread Ioana Gandrabur
Hi all,

Starting out with the mac I am turning to you with some question I hep you can 
help me with:

1. I have mid 2010 mac mini with 2 gb of ram with lion. I have windows xp and 
jaws 11. Should I go with bootcamp or fusion? I suppose I will have to upgrade 
ram in case 2?

Could I start out with bootcamp and change later? Any advice on this topic is 
very appreciated.
2. I understand open office is accessible on the mac. For basic letters in 
different languages with good spellcheck will open office do? Can I save 
documents in doc format for others to receive them?

Thanks,

Ioana

Re: Question regarding home networking.

2011-09-19 Thread Paul Erkens
Hi Allison,
One way to share files between windows 7, is what I think you have, and a mac, 
can be done, but it is a 2-way configuration. I haven't played much with 
accessing mac files from a windows computer, because I always work on my mac 
since I have it. Because once you go mac, you'll never go back. But the other 
way around is simple, as long as you have some information collected 
beforehand. So I will describe how to connect to a windows machine from one of 
your macs. The other way back, how to connect from windows to a mac share, I 
don't have enough experience with.

Before I tell you how you do it, here's what you are striving for to begin 
with. On your windows pc, you have a share. This is something like the my 
documents folder, an entire drive, or anything present for that matter. On the 
mac side, you have your finder. Where you would go into my network places on 
windows to find other computers, the mac does it differently. On the desktop, 
and in some other places, once you get file sharing working, you will have a 
new icon. If you open it, you will be accessing your windows files. It is that 
simple, but if you've never done it before, a little more to know before you 
have it working.

To access your windows machine from a mac:
1. You need to know the network name of your windows pc that you want to 
access. If you already have a network set up, this will be familiar. If you 
don't know the windows computer network name of the pc you want to get into 
from your mac, you will need is ip address. If you don't know how to do one of 
these and you need it, let me know.
2. You need to have an account on the windows computer to log in to. Because 
windows 7 is already set up on your side, you will indeed have a user account, 
possibly with a password. When you work in windows 7, you are logged in under 
your own account, that is usually created when windows was set up. 
You use the same name and password to log in to windows if you do it over a 
network This is the name and password you will have to have ready. If not, then 
you wil need to set up a password associated with your user account on the 
windows pc, because without a password, sharing will not work this way. 
3. Now that you know the network name of the windows pc, and you have a 
username and password, it is time to Connect. To do this, from your mac, in the 
finder, hit command k. This is a keystroke belonging to the go menu. It lets 
you connect to a server. From a mac perspective, a file hoster like your 
windows pc is a file server. A dialog comes up.
4. In the text field that you land in, fill in the protocol and the address of 
the windows pc and hit connect. The protocol that you always want to use is 
smb, as in server message block. Don't worry about what it is. The first five 
characters of the text to type in here, is always: smb://. That is s, m, b, 
colon, slash, slash.
5. Now say, that the pc you want to log in to is called Allison. Then the full 
line you type in is:
smb://Allison
That is all without spaces. So first s m b colon slash slash, those 5 
characters, and then the pc name, Allison for this example.
6. You can now select, which shares from windows you want to see on your mac. 
In this dialog on your mac, you may see somelike my documents, drive d, etc.
Just select one or more from the list and confirm. I think there's just a 
normal ok button.
7. Your windows share will now be mounted in finder. You can find it on your 
desktop and you can open it with command down arrow, and close it with command 
w.

Note: in windows 7, you may have to do a little bit more to set up file sharing 
to be allowed than you would on an xp machine. From what I understand, you have 
multiple windows machines. If one of them is windows 7 and another is xp, and 
you can perfectly see your windows 7 files from an xp machine, then you can be 
sure that file sharing for this win7 pc will also work from a mac.
Hth,
Paul.

Re: good (un)rar/(un)zip prog for os x lion

2011-09-19 Thread Paul Erkens
Hi Anouk,
You can have the unarchiver from app store to unzip unrar etc. But if you also 
want to create your own archives, an option is to install better zip from the 
app store. It does cost a little. But with better zip and with the command line 
rar tools in place, you can easily create your own rar files if you wish, and 
zip is natively built into better zip. I wish its interface were simpler, but 
it is very accessible and doable. So, to unarchive, if all you want is that, 
use unarchiver. To create your own, one option is better zip. At least this 
thing is accessible that I found.
Hth,
Paul.

Re: Scanning software like Kurzweil for the Mac?

2011-09-19 Thread Rachel magario
RFBD has a book reader for the mac free for the first year, and an app for the 
iphone, ipad and ipod touch for $19. 
There is a Kurzweil for the mac. But I am not sure how it works, I have not 
tried it yet. Also I believe a very popular one in the list is the Express 
finder reader or something like that. I am sure someone else can get you more 
details on that.

2011-09-19 Thread Caitlyn Furness
I'm interested in this as well, especially as I'm also "stuck" back in xp days. 
 I have WE 7.5, but if it's not going to play nice with version 4 of fusion, 
I'm totally happy to stick with version 3.  Heck, it took me long enough to get 
everything there happy together!  lol!

Thanks,
Caitlyn

Re: Scanning software like Kurzweil for the Mac?

2011-09-19 Thread Mary Otten
There is no Kurzweil1000 for the Mac. So far as I am aware, the kurzweil3000, 
which is their program geared for people whose difficulty with hard copy print 
doesn't involve blindness, is old and out of date. There are applications for 
the Mac that will let you scan and read, such as abbyy's fine reader express, 
vuescan etc. But none of them have anything like the array of features or 
flexibility offered by the K1000, admittedly for a higher price, of course.

Re: Scanning software like Kurzweil for the Mac?

2011-09-19 Thread Caitlyn Furness
Mary is right.  There is Docuscan plus, too, but it doesn't even come close to 
what k1000 can do, especially if you're already used to k1000.  You also need 
to be aware that you need an internet connection to scan with docuscan, which 
might be important.  On the other hand, if you can get it to work, it's nice to 
have a native app.  Lots also like abby and vu scan.

hth a litle,
Caitlyn(who is sticking with k1000 in a vm)

Re: Bootcamp or fusion and open office?

2011-09-19 Thread Rachel magario
 ;,

I started first with bootcamp and then switched to fusion. So that is possible. 
Now, I did like fusion better so I don't have to go through all the restart all 
the time. Of course, the greatest thing for me in bootcamp was the fact none of 
my short cut keys  conflicted. So,  there are advantages and disadvantages to 
every thing.
If you have xp 32, you should be just find with 1 gb of ram for running the 
windows side on fusion. But again, it is also a matter of preference if you 
want more ram. i have 8 gb on my mbp, so I can use 4 gb for each os if I need 
to.

Open office is liked by many. Although accessible, I think it's usability is 
not that great. Again, this is a personal opinion. You might like it. I would 
go with pages or some other editors. Unfortunately word for mac is not 
accessible. The plus of open office is that is free. But I still don't like it. 
And yes, you can send formats that everyone can view when you work in  open 
office.
HTH,
Rachel

Re: Fusion 4 and Window-Eyes

2011-09-19 Thread Keith Watson
Ok,

So I just had VMware tell me to uninstall my screen reader and reinstall. It 
seems that they think that because I am running JFW 11 and 12 on the same 
machine that it is conflicting with their video driver. I told the guy that I 
would do it and return the results, but that I was 100% sure that I would 
experience the same results. Friggin Voodoo trouble shooting if you ask me.


Daughter got home and helped me uninstall and reinstall only one version. Guess 
what, crashed harder than Charlie Sheen after a good binge. Back to the drawing 
board VMWare!

Re: music notation software

2011-09-19 Thread Karen Lewellen
Speaking of which.  Music publisher is supposed to work for mac, not sure 
as to  accessibility though as it is somewhat vague.
As for the program in question, I recall the company is rather cozy with 
freedom scientific / jaws.  Perhaps someone or several someone's should 
document to  them how many customers they would have for the mac, so they 
take the plunge sooner rather than well at the end of time as the  comment 
suggests?
The program in question prints music...period, not just braille.  ooh one 
more option if you are doing Linux as a virtual box.  Lillypond is 
accessible over there.

Hope some of this is helpful,

Hi All,
For those who want to subscribe to the Accessible World Tek Talk podcasts, such 
as the upcoming one on iOS Apps that Colin (aka Red.Flacon)  just forwarded,  
either through iTunes or through iOS podcatching apps, here's the feed URL:

• Accessible World Tek Talk:
feed://www.accessibleworld.org/category/site-categories/tek-talk-archives/feed

As far as I know, they don't have an iTunes podcast location set up, but you can 
automatically subscribe to it if you choose the "Subscribe to podcast" option 
in the Advanced menu on the iTunes menu bar, and then either type or paste in the above 
URL.  This also works for other podcatching apps.

HTH.  Cheers,

Re: Scanning software like Kurzweil for the Mac?

2011-09-19 Thread Mary Otten
Mike's and my responses to the question of whether there is a scanning program 
for the Mac that is like k1000 points out how important it is if the person 
asking the question has an idea what uses they want to make of the program or 
what their requirements are. For instance, as has been mentioned, docuscan 
requires an internet connection. It also is English  only, and it lacks a host 
of other features that K1000 has, such as the ability to make bookmarks in your 
file, to make notes and have your scans saved by default on your computer, not 
in the cloud. And you can adjust the scanning and ocr parameters and you have a 
choice of 2 ocr engines etc. Whether you need all that and the other features 
offered by the more expensive K1000 is up to you, of course.

Re: Scanning software like Kurzweil for the Mac?

2011-09-19 Thread Rachel magario
This is for Mary and any k1000 mac users, 

I am guessing you use the k1000? Is it really good with math, code and highly 
graphic text scanning? Thanks for any info. I am using right now abode acrobat 
pro, but I need something more accessible and that it is really good for 
complicated text scanning to improve my scan time and decrease editing.
Thanks,
Rachel.

HI RACHEL,

I DO NOT HAVE MUCH OF A NEED TO SCAN THE MATH AND HIGHLY GRAPHICAL TEXTS YOU 
WANT TO SCAN. I HAVE HAD SOME SUCCESS WITH COOKBOOKS, WHICH HAVE A LOT OF 
NUMBERS AND FRACTIONS; SOME SCAN BETTER THAN OTHERS. BUT HAVING HAD ADVANCED 
MATH DESCRIBED TO ME, I DOUBT THAT KURZWEIL OR ANY OTHER SCANNING APPLICATION 
WOULD DO VERY WELL WITH IT.

Re: Drag and Drop

2011-09-19 Thread Anne Robertson
Hello Dean,

The Drag&Drop feature using VO-, and VO-. are only available in Lion.

There is a way of doing Drag&Drop in Leopard, but it doesn't work from one 
window to another. The command is VO-Cmd-Shift-Space bar. This command picks up 
the mouse the first time you use it, and drops it the second time. You also 
have to remember to turn cursor tracking off for this to work.

Cheers,

Anne
