Hello everyone. Thanks for sharing this with us Esther. I have a folder I 
access every day. How can I turn this command into a shortcut or place it on 
the doc?

Thanks so much.

Re: Option-click

2011-10-05 Thread Krister Ekstrom
That is the problem with all screen readers regardless of system, unless 
something has happened in later years that i'm not aware of, that there's no 
way of shift-, alt-, option- or control-clicking things. Apple might have 
solved the problem of dragging with modifiers down in the new Lion drag and 
drop feature, but to my knowledge you can't modifyer click without using the 
physical mouse or track pad. If i'm wrong here, please correct me.

Re: ChromeVox is now on the Chrome Web Store!

2011-10-05 Thread Krister Ekstrom
Hi,
As i said before, Chromevox has promise but their navigation key strokes need 
to be improved. Especially the table navigation key strokes are clumcy and time 
consuming when you only have control key on one side of the keyboard and no way 
of using an insert key cause there is none on the bluetooth keyboard that comes 
with the newer Imacs.

Re: accessing instant message while in a voice chat in skype

2011-10-05 Thread Patrick Neazer
Good morning Gerry and all:

I am certain that you will receive faster and possibly better ways to do this 
one. However, an effective way to do this is to navigate to the table to the 
left of the contacts list. If you interact with the table and arrow down you 
will hear something that says recents. Below that will be a list of recent 
activities. More to the point, the names of the persons you have had recent 
activity with. If you stop interacting with the table and continue moving to 
the left you will see the edit box and then you will come across the HTML 
content. Interact there and you will find the conversation. I have to use dom 
order instead of grouping to read the thread in an orderly manner.

Hopefully I have not confused you to the point of collapse :).

Let us know how it goes.

Take good care and I wish you enough.

Voice Over And Safari

I am using Lion on an iMac.

How do I get Voice Over not to start reading everything on a page, and just 
move along when I TAB?

The VO curser starts jumping all over the screen, and I can't figure out how to 
get it back to where I want it.

Thanks,

Re: Selecting in safari

2011-10-05 Thread Alex Hall
The way I've found to do it is:
1. Interact with the text and move to the start of the desired selection.
2. Hit vo-enter.
3. Use normal commands to move from the start to the end of the selection.
4. Hit vo-enter again, then cmd-c to copy.

There's probably an easier way, but that is all I could find on Google
when I tried selecting the other day.

Re: Option-click

2011-10-05 Thread Paul Erkens
Hi Austin and Christer,
Option clicking and control clicking something, can indeed be done using the 
trackpad, and it isn't a problem for voiceover users, although it is, with some 
other screen readers. 
1. With the vo cursor, find the element that you want to option or control 
click on.
2. Now, tell voiceover to get the mouse pointer over to this spot on the 
screen, using command vo f5. vo is the same as control option. So, the complete 
command to get the mouse pointer to where your voiceover cursor is, is to hold 
down 3 keys, being option, control and command, and then pressing f5.
3. Once the mouse is there, Perform the control, or the option click, as 
follows. First hold down either option or control, depending on what you need, 
and then press on the lower left corner of the trackpad to make the click 
happen.

If a sighted user wants to click on something, they do it with the mouse 
button. The left one, in windows. To do the same thing in voiceover, with the 
voiceover cursor on an object, we can hit vo space to perform the normal click. 
However, voiceover does not have a built-in command for an option click or a 
control click. That is why we need to do the same thing as a sighted user 
would, rather than having a dedicated voiceover command for it. Bring the mouse 
pointer to the spot, hold control or option, and while holding it, click the 
mouse, or the trackpad.

Re: Voice Over And Safari

I think lyon can amend this behaviour by going to the Voiceover Utility 
settings navigating down to web and then pressing tab to get to 
 tab settings. Vo right until you ghet to page loading and then uncheck the 
section which gets Voiceover to automatically read web pages.On 5 Oct 2011,

Hi Alex, I just tried, and VO didn't speak anything when I was selecting

Did you interact with the text? I also got no speech and nothing
selected, but it was because I hadn't interacted with what I wanted to
copy.

Re: ChromeVox is now on the Chrome Web Store!

2011-10-05 Thread Garth Humphreys
Hi Kevin

Thanks for the instructions for deleting the extension prior to reinstalling 
from the web store. It worked perfectly.  Do I understand correctly that one 
benefit of changing to the web store version is that the extension will auto 
update in the same way that Chrome does?

Once you interact, press vo-enter before selecting, then use normal
navigation (not holding down shift) to move to the end and hit
vo-enter again.

 There's probably an easier way, but that is all I could find on Google
 when I tried selecting the other day.

Re: Selecting in safari

2011-10-05 Thread Matthew Campbell
Hey Matt.
One thing that you might want to try is this.
First, get VO to where the text is you want to copy
Then, press VO shift C to copy the last phrase to the clipboard.
Finally, go to text edit or where ever and paste
Just keep doing that over and over until you have all that you want. It's kind 
of annoying way to do it but...
One thing to keep in mind is that when VO reads text in safari, it's reading 
paragraph by paragraph.
HTH.

Re: update on searching mailbox for specific messages in lion

2011-10-05 Thread Paul Erkens
Hi Ioana,

I'm using Apple mail on Lion in the new look, classic view off. I tried the 
suggestion, but when on the message table, without any interacting, it won't 
work. Each key press of the search text sends a bang from the speakers. Could 
it be that you are reading mail in classic view? 

Regarding the work around: I didn't know about that feature but if you are 
looking for specific messages it's not too big a deal to temporarily turn on 
classic view. Thanks for the idea. I'm hoping that outside classic view, 
there's a solution as well. I tried moving the mouse over to the message table, 
but that doesn't seem to make a difference either. I think I'll drop 
accessibil...@apple.com a line about it. 
Paul.

Re: The continuing adventures of David eagle and his Apple Mac computer. this time it's about Sendspace.

2011-10-05 Thread Garth Humphreys
Hi David 

As another new user to the Mac I can certainly understand your frustration. The 
Safari busy busy thing is seriously annoying. Stronger words would, of course, 
be called for if we weren't in polite company :) 

As for Finder, at first I called it Loser as I couldn't use it to find a thing. 
Now however after about 3 weeks it seems completely fine and I can be just as 
efficient in it as on Win 7 / XP. I pretty much ignore the side bar. It can be 
useful however the key board shortcuts seem quicker to me.  As someone else has 
said try using column view. Command+3 will get you into this view. When in this 
view you can navigate through folders in a standard tree structure. You need to 
make sure you have quick nab off. The up & down arrows will take through the 
folders at a given level and the left and right arrows can be used to collapse 
and expand folders.  Combine this with some keyboard shortcuts and all is good, 
at least in my opinion.
Command+shift+C will take you to the top computer level where you can see the 
various drives and network. 
Command+shift+H will take you to your home folder, i.e., inside the users 
folder. 
Command+shift+A will take you to your Applications folder. 
Command+Option+L will take you into your downloads folder. I'm not sure but 
maybe this is supposed to be the exception that proves the rule :) 
Command+shift+O will take you to your documents 
Command+shift+D will go to your desktop.

There are of course others as well.

anyway I hope this helps a bit. You certainly aren't alone with your 
frustrations. I am still glad I have windows at work where I need to get work 
done.  
So far I haven't found Safari on the Mac as good as it is on IOS, especially on 
the iPad where I think it is fantastic. Then again I got my iPad 1 on the day 
it was first released and I have only been using OSX for a few weeks.

Good luck 
Garth

 There's probably an easier way, but that is all I could find on Google

Re: Selecting in safari

2011-10-05 Thread Søren Jensen
Hi.

You can do the following which might work:
Use the latest version of webkit.
1: Find the text you wanna copy
2: press Vo command f5
3: press Vo command shift space to hold down the mouse button
4: Hold down shift and press the down arrow to  select the text you want.
6: Press command c to copy
7. Press Vo command shift space again to release the mouse button.
Hope that will work for you.

Safari in SL and popup windows

2011-10-05 Thread Neil Barnfather - TalkNav
Hi All,

Please forgive me if this has been picked up on previously...

I had originally thought this was the fault of one web developer who had 
adjusted something which had broke accessibility, but am now not so sure...

Using my iMac, which I've kept on SL for the time being, I have now found a 
reasonable number of sites which have had some issues with popup windows in the 
past few months or so.

One site has a popup which appears when you click delete on a message, the 
popup springs up, asking if you are sure you wish to delete the message. this 
used to work just fine on the iMac in Safari with VO, but now sends VO into a 
spin, with it constantly saying, busy, busy, busy, until finally, after about 2 
minutes or so of this, it brakes free and I can use the arrow keys to navigate 
to OK in the popup... and I'm free to continue to use the site.

What's interesting about this issue, is that it only seems to affect Safari, I 
can command/tab to another running application and VO works just fine, command 
tab back to Safari, busy, busy, busy... with me going, grrr, grrr, grrr.

then today, I was selling my old iPHone 4s on a web-site ready for next week 
when our new ones arrive, and I had to print a confirmation page, there was an 
in page link to click to trigger the print popup, rather than me having to 
print the actual Safari page itself... so it was an in page print link, I 
pressed it, and boom, busy, busy, busy, grrr, grrr, grrr.

this time though the busy did not stop for over three hours, when my daughter 
walked in, moved the mouse to the print button, left clicked once, and bang, 
back to useable... it was as if Safari and VO were in lock, but if I were 
sighted there'd have been no issue whatsoever.

anyone any ideas?

thanks.

Neil Barnfather

Re: The continuing adventures of David eagle and his Apple Mac computer. this time it's about Sendspace.

2011-10-05 Thread David Eagle
Well everyone, I am so glad that my rant has actually managed to prove
productive. So many great tips, thank you.
To make a short cut to a folder on your desktop: find the file and
press Command L to make an Alius. Then copy the Alius and paste it to
your desktop. YOu can then delete the Alius in the folder you copied
it from if you like.
I am a fan of the column browser which makes searching a lot easier. I
was a bit confused about Command Shift G when I first discovered it
because I thought you could type the first few letters of a folder
somewhere on your computer and it would find the folder. So for
instance to get my Podcasts folder in iTunes I could just press podc
and then enter and it would take me straight there without having to
go into Music, ITunes, ITunes Media, podcasts. Now I know it's for
file paths.

I have used Saphari on a friends IPad and it worked brilliantly, but I
wasn't uploading anything to sends pace. Thank god for my dropbox
which makes sending files so much easier, when it's not full.


Thanks for all the tips and for being so sympathetic towards my ranting.

Re: update on searching mailbox for specific messages in lion

2011-10-05 Thread Paul Erkens
I haven't found a way around this either. When I come across a conversation and 
I go over the headers, everything is marked as read. My preview pane is 0 
lines, off. Has anyone written apple accessibility about this? I thought it was 
something I didn't understand about apple mail, but I'll write them about it 
and see what I get back.

Questions

2011-10-05 Thread Becky Knaub
Hi all,
Do Focus 40 Blue braille displays work with the MAC?
If they do as I think they do Could anyone tell me how to make My MBP detect 
the display when its plugged in the USB port? It won't detect the display 
either way ad I have tried everything I can think of.
Since I really need the display to work so I can edit my papers for school I 
would appreciate if anyone could help.

Second Is it possible to play ogg files on the mac and if so what version of 
the software would I need to get for an MBP with Lion on it?

Thanks ,



Becky

Re: Safari in SL and popup windows

2011-10-05 Thread Neil Barnfather - TalkNav
I did try that, but interestingly have had a reply from Apple Accessibility 
about this, and would urge anyone else experiencing this issue to write and ask 
about this too, as they need to know its quite a significant thing if they 
don't hurry along and find a resolution.

Accessibility told me...

Thank you for your email. Safari 5.1 is available for Mac OS X 10.6, it was 
available through Software Updates. Due to changes in WebKit to bring it more 
in line with web standards if a single element on a webpage has an automatic 
refresh and does not report that correctly, Safari will continue to report 
“busy” to VoiceOver. Apple is investigating the issue, we are unable to comment 
on when it may be resolved. 

Apple Accessibility

Of course this does make the point that technically its the fault of the 
web-site developers in question, but they seem to accept that the problem 
wasn't there before they, so to speak, fixed it... :).

lion and safari really irritating me

2011-10-05 Thread Cody
Ok guys,

I've been using Safari on my mac pro with lion 10.7.1. Browsing is quite 
irritating, I use the arrow keys for the web rooter to navigate via links and 
headings and so forth.. I constantly get Safari busy busy busy etc. sometimes 
I'll see the html content but when I try to interact with it it just beeps at 
me. Then if the pad finally loads, and try to use my up and down arrows to just 
between elements it's set to, voiceover just reads the title of the webpage. 
close safari and turning off vo and starting both again, sometimes doesn't 
work, and I get a lot of busys. It seems like web browsing in lion is just more 
of a pain in the ass than anything, and snow leopard was a lot better, a lot 
more responsive. Anyone have any input?

 I found an interesting workaround for the time.
 If in the message table and not interacting with it you can type the text 
 you are looking for and it will find the first occurrence of the text in 
 what ever field it is. If you want the next occurrence you type the text 
 again and it finds it. Not ideal but works.
 
 HOpe they fix this.

watch this, I'm having a similar issue, its Safari v5.1 not Lion per say, I'm 
in the middle of talking with Apple to see if I can go back to Safari's 
previous version, and not be plagued to death about updating it...

Lion Growl no longer free

2011-10-05 Thread Chris Blouch
So I just had somebody ping me about upgrading to Lion and how they 
would need to update Growl but now it was $2 instead of free. This got 
me wondering. For many chat apps, or at least the ones I use often like 
Skype, AIM and Adium, Growl is the common way to get incoming messages 
read. If it's no longer a free solution for these otherwise free apps, 
should these chat apps now go back and start adding self-voicing to 
their incoming messages? I know AIM has this feature today but others 
got a bit of a pass because Growl could take care of it.

Re: iPhone 4s and Siri

2011-10-05 Thread Chris Blouch
Interesting. So it's like the Dragon iOS approach where they encode an 
audio snippet, send it off and the real work is done on some cloud 
processor? So what was all the claims about using the new A5 chip and 
being 4S only because of compute requirements? Maybe it's just compute 
intensive to quickly encode the audio snippet.


That said, spoken word audio is pretty small. 64 or 128kbs is only 8 or 
16 K per second. A typical command is probably only 5 seconds or 80K at 
the higher data rate. So just 1MB would handle about 12 transactions. So 
a 200MB a month plan would handle some 2500 Siri commands. Twice that or 
more if they are able to compress 64kpbs or lower and/or if the commands 
are less than 5 seconds.


All that said, there is a brewing storm over mobile data caps because 
all the new cloud, sync, mobile innovation is going to hit a wall soon. 
While I got grandfathered in on an unlimited plan for my iPhone, my wife 
has the paltry 200MB plan on hers and we've already been dinged once for 
$15 when she went over. Caps on home cable/dsl plans are much more 
liberal but today's expansive pipe is tomorrow's soda straw. It's a 
cycle that's happened a dozen times or so and I do recall the days when 
300 baud modems were 'fast' and who would need anything faster? Then it 
was 1200, then 2400, then 9600, then 14.4, then 28.8 then 56kpb then 
128, 256, 512, 1Mbps and today it's multiple Mbps. Difference is that 
back then when you bought a 256kbps DSL connection it was expected that 
you could use it all you want. Today you can get 25Mbps or higher but 
there is a cap. What good will new faster 4G networks be when you can 
consume your entire plan allotment in a day? This will start to get ugly 
soon.

Re: iPhone 4s and Siri

2011-10-05 Thread Mika Pyyhkala
I wouldn't really worry a lot about an unlimited data plan.  Even the
capped plans at 2GB a month, you'd be hard pressed to use 2GB of 3G
data in a month.

Some of the time you'll be using WiFi in most circumstances so the
WiFi use does not count against your data cap.

If you had say a 2GB or a 4GB data plan, I'm not sure e.g. how long
you would have to stream video to get close to the cap.

Of course unlimited is "better," but I know I've never gotten close to
2GB in a 30 day period and I do use the phone a lot mostly for data
related activities.

I'm currently grandfathered on the AT&T unlimited data, which by the
way, they've recently announced that if you exceed some usage meter
they will begin throttling down your "unlimited" data speed.  I
believe Verizon also throttles back users on unlimited plans that
reach some threshold.


Best,
Mika

Re: Safari in SL and popup windows

This could explain some busy behavior I've experienced with web-based

incoming events.

Accessibility told me...

Thank you for your email. Safari 5.1 is available for Mac OS X 10.6, it was 
available through Software Updates. Due to changes in WebKit to bring it more 
in line with web standards if a single element on a webpage has an automatic 
refresh and does not report that correctly, Safari will continue to report 
“busy” to VoiceOver. Apple is investigating the issue, we are unable to comment 
on when it may be resolved.

Of course this does make the point that technically its the fault of the 
web-site developers in question, but they seem to accept that the problem 
wasn't there before they, so to speak, fixed it... :).

Hi All,

Please forgive me if this has been picked up on previously...

I had originally thought this was the fault of one web developer who had 
adjusted something which had broke accessibility, but am now not so sure...

Using my iMac, which I've kept on SL for the time being, I have now found a 
reasonable number of sites which have had some issues with popup windows in the 
past few months or so.

One site has a popup which appears when you click delete on a message, the 
popup springs up, asking if you are sure you wish to delete the message. this 
used to work just fine on the iMac in Safari with VO, but now sends VO into a 
spin, with it constantly saying, busy, busy, busy, until finally, after about 2 
minutes or so of this, it brakes free and I can use the arrow keys to navigate 
to OK in the popup... and I'm free to continue to use the site.

What's interesting about this issue, is that it only seems to affect Safari, I 
can command/tab to another running application and VO works just fine, command 
tab back to Safari, busy, busy, busy... with me going, grrr, grrr, grrr.

then today, I was selling my old iPHone 4s on a web-site ready for next week 
when our new ones arrive, and I had to print a confirmation page, there was an 
in page link to click to trigger the print popup, rather than me having to 
print the actual Safari page itself... so it was an in page print link, I 
pressed it, and boom, busy, busy, busy, grrr, grrr, grrr.

this time though the busy did not stop for over three hours, when my daughter 
walked in, moved the mouse to the print button, left clicked once, and bang, 
back to useable... it was as if Safari and VO were in lock, but if I were 
sighted there'd have been no issue whatsoever.

anyone any ideas?

thanks.

When you plug it in it should automatically show something on the

appearing on your computer though, press one of the cursor routing
buttons. The two rows above your display. This works fine for me.

Re: Safari in SL and popup windows

2011-10-05 Thread Neil Barnfather - TalkNav
yes, I find it rather frustrating that Apple Accessibility appears to have been 
rather quiet about this, despite me asking them a few times over... still, 
perhaps they only have recently found out what is causing the issue.

the actual fault presumably lies with the web-site developers, as Apple point 
out that they have simply updated Safari to better keep in line with 
established practice and standard's in the industry... yet, they accept that 
for sites not doing this, it will apparently cause Voice Over to go crazy.

So for me, I've done the following, flattened my Mac, and when software update 
comes up, I'm going to simply not install the Safari updates for now.

I'll get on to the two sites I've had the issue with and ask them to fix their 
issues, and then update later.

Interesting. So it's like the Dragon iOS approach where they encode  
an audio snippet, send it off and the real work is done on some  
cloud processor? So what was all the claims about using the new A5  
chip and being 4S only because of compute requirements? Maybe it's  
just compute intensive to quickly encode the audio snippet.


That said, spoken word audio is pretty small. 64 or 128kbs is only 8  
or 16 K per second. A typical command is probably only 5 seconds or  
80K at the higher data rate. So just 1MB would handle about 12  
transactions. So a 200MB a month plan would handle some 2500 Siri  
commands. Twice that or more if they are able to compress 64kpbs or  
lower and/or if the commands are less than 5 seconds.


All that said, there is a brewing storm over mobile data caps  
because all the new cloud, sync, mobile innovation is going to hit a  
wall soon. While I got grandfathered in on an unlimited plan for my  
iPhone, my wife has the paltry 200MB plan on hers and we've already  
been dinged once for $15 when she went over. Caps on home cable/dsl  
plans are much more liberal but today's expansive pipe is tomorrow's  
soda straw. It's a cycle that's happened a dozen times or so and I  
do recall the days when 300 baud modems were 'fast' and who would  
need anything faster? Then it was 1200, then 2400, then 9600, then  
14.4, then 28.8 then 56kpb then 128, 256, 512, 1Mbps and today it's  
multiple Mbps. Difference is that back then when you bought a  
256kbps DSL connection it was expected that you could use it all you  
want. Today you can get 25Mbps or higher but there is a cap. What  
good will new faster 4G networks be when you can consume your entire  
plan allotment in a day? This will start to get ugly soon.

Re: iPhone 4s and Siri

2011-10-05 Thread Chris Blouch
Apparently the kids watching Sprout TV on her phone while away from a 
wifi network was the cause of overages in our case. Still, 200MB is 
pretty tiny by today's media standards. Of course that used to suffice 
quite well running the $15/month data plan. For $25/month we could have 
gone for the 2GB plan but it would mostly be wasted. Really should be a 
1, 2 and 4GB plan tier but I know they want to push people to a higher 
cost sooner.

Interesting. So it's like the Dragon iOS approach where they encode 
an audio snippet, send it off and the real work is done on some cloud 
processor? So what was all the claims about using the new A5 chip and 
being 4S only because of compute requirements? Maybe it's just 
compute intensive to quickly encode the audio snippet.


That said, spoken word audio is pretty small. 64 or 128kbs is only 8 
or 16 K per second. A typical command is probably only 5 seconds or 
80K at the higher data rate. So just 1MB would handle about 12 
transactions. So a 200MB a month plan would handle some 2500 Siri 
commands. Twice that or more if they are able to compress 64kpbs or 
lower and/or if the commands are less than 5 seconds.


All that said, there is a brewing storm over mobile data caps because 
all the new cloud, sync, mobile innovation is going to hit a wall 
soon. While I got grandfathered in on an unlimited plan for my 
iPhone, my wife has the paltry 200MB plan on hers and we've already 
been dinged once for $15 when she went over. Caps on home cable/dsl 
plans are much more liberal but today's expansive pipe is tomorrow's 
soda straw. It's a cycle that's happened a dozen times or so and I do 
recall the days when 300 baud modems were 'fast' and who would need 
anything faster? Then it was 1200, then 2400, then 9600, then 14.4, 
then 28.8 then 56kpb then 128, 256, 512, 1Mbps and today it's 
multiple Mbps. Difference is that back then when you bought a 256kbps 
DSL connection it was expected that you could use it all you want. 
Today you can get 25Mbps or higher but there is a cap. What good will 
new faster 4G networks be when you can consume your entire plan 
allotment in a day? This will start to get ugly soon.

Re: iPhone 4s and Siri

The original Siri iPhone App, before Apple bought them, ran on iPhone 
3GS or better:


http://webcache.googleusercontent.com/search?q=cache:LwmUTA-pMRwJ:itunes.apple.com/us/app/siri-assistant/id351778157%3Fmt%3D8+siri+personal+assistant+app&cd=5&hl=en&ct=clnk&gl=us&client=safari

They were also going to make Android and Blackberry versions. Dunno if 
they ever did.

Re: saving textedit in subfolder of documents folder

2011-10-05 Thread Esther
Hi Ioana,

There are Finder shortcuts that you can use to go to specific folders, and 
these work in the dialog windows as well.  One useful shortcut that I posted 
about yesterday is Command-Shift-G, which stands for "Go to Folder".  This can 
be used to specify a path to a folder on any mounted device, with any number of 
subfolders in the path.  It can be a folder under the main System directory, a 
subfolder on an external disk drive or one on an attached USB memory stick.  
For the case you outline of saving to a subfolder of Documents I would first 
press  Command-S to save, and then in the dialog window I would press 
Command-Shift-G.  In the text box I would type:
~/Documents/Papers
That's an initial tilde symbol (by pressing the Shift key in combination with 
the accent key at the far left of the row of number keys on an English language 
input keyboard), to indicate the present user's home directory, followed by a 
slash, followed by the word "Documents", followed by another slash, followed by 
the name of the subfolder, which is "Papers" in the current example.

The other way you could navigate to the folder if, for example, you didn't 
remember its name, or if you wanted to check the file names in the subfolder to 
use consistent naming syntax, is to navigate past the text field for the file 
name in the "Save as" dialog to the check box for "Disclosure" and activate 
this (with VO-Space, or by pressing the Up and Down arrow keys simultaneously 
if you are in QuickNav mode, or by double tapping on the TrackPad in you are 
navigating with TrackPad Commander).  This will expand to show you a window 
like the regular full, Finder windows where you can navigate through the 
contents of the selected folder.  So, if you are in the Documents folder (as 
noted by the pop up menu button selection), you can navigate (VO-Right arrow, 
using the arrow keys of QuickNav, or with right flicks on the TrackPad with 
TrackPad Commander) to the file browser and interact.  The view of Finder that 
you see here can be selected with Command-1 (icon view), Command-2 (list view), 
or Command-3 (column view) just as it can with Finder.  I use list view if I 
want information on the modification date, because I can easily navigate to 
that column and sort (with VO-Shift-Backslash on an English input keyboard -- 
for other languages you can use VO-H-H to bring up the Commands Window, 
navigate to "Tables" and select the entry for "Sort column").  This lists the 
files in modification date order instead of alphabetically by name, and is a 
quick way to find the most recently modified files.  Actually, you can sort on 
any column of information that is displayed in list view mode.  (Sorting is a 
toggle action, and when applied a second time will reverse the order of the 
sort.)  You can use column view mode display if you want to easily view and 
navigate to subfolders.  In all of these modes, you can navigate down folders.  
Then, when you save the file with specified name, it will be stored in your 
selected folder.

Incidentally, in the first example, after using Command-Shift-G, typing in the 
folder path, and with the name of the  file correctly filled in, I just press 
the Return key to commit the selections in the save action instead of 
navigating to "Save" buttons in the menu. Similarly, if I want to cancel an 
action, I press the Escape key instead of navigating to a "Cancel" button.  
This works more efficiently in many dialog windows, provided you are familiar 
with the menu contents.

In general, if you want to read up on Finder menu shortcuts, and many VoiceOver 
tips and tricks, a good place to check is Tim Kilburn's VoiceOver pages:
http://web.me.com/kilburns/voiceover/

This is a great source of information about the general layout of apps.  Look 
at his keyboard shortcuts link for the information I gave above.  The pages are 
written for Snow Leopard, Leopard, and Tiger.  I'm not sure whether everything 
is up to date, because Tim was away from the list for quite a while between 
Leopard and the release of Snow Leopard, and started updating for Snow Leopard 
when he came back some months ago.  I haven't seen many posts from him 
recently, but his information is excellent when he has a chance to post.

HTH.  Cheers,

Esther

Re: ChromeVox is now on the Chrome Web Store!

2011-10-05 Thread Kevin Chao
In Chrome preferences, there are three different settings that one can
select from that affect what happens when you open Chrome:
* default: open start page
* open home page
* open tabs/windows from previous session (this option is what I have selected)

For various feedback, such as suggestions, bugs, etc. I strongly
encourage communicating with Google accessibility who is very open,
interactive, and very rapid about addressing feedback.
Please use Google accessibility feedback page:
https://docs.google.com/support/bin/answer.py?answer=1631662

Yes, one of many benefits of using ChromeVox from Chrome web store
(aside from a newer version with several improvements) is that it will
like all Google products/services silently auto-update in the
background.

Re: iPhone 4s and Siri

2011-10-05 Thread Chris Blouch
Nope. Apple bought the company then everything fell silent until 
yesterday. All links and such that used to point to the app or the 
company now redirect to Apple's Siri pages. That's why my URL had to use 
google's webcache to pull up the original page before it got redirected. 
So I was just saying that after Apple bought it the app suddenly 
required only the latest hardware to operate. That said, it seems to be 
quite a slick and well integrated solution.

Re: editing html code

in order to see the results of your markup, you'll have to open the HTML in 
Safari. As you edit your text file, save it also as an HTML file and open that 
in Safari. You could simply save these over the previous one so youjust have 
two files with the same name, one with a txt and one with an hTML extension.

Yes, you can still get the app on the 3GS or 4,  but from what I gather, it
doesn't do as many things as the built-in voice assistant on the 4S.

Nope. Apple bought the company then everything fell silent until yesterday.
All links and such that used to point to the app or the company now redirect
to Apple's Siri pages. That's why my URL had to use google's webcache to
pull up the original page before it got redirected. So I was just saying
that after Apple bought it the app suddenly required only the latest
hardware to operate. That said, it seems to be quite a slick and well
integrated solution.

Hello list:

I frequently experience this bug as well on my mid-2010 MacBook Pro. Sometimes 
it will never be "free" (as opposed to "busy") and I will be forced to just 
turn off the computer (as it can grow quite warm if I leave it on at this 
point). Any other takers? Solutions?

RE: iPhone 4s and Siri

2011-10-05 Thread Robert Hooper
Hello Greg:

The iPhone 5 has the features of Siri integrated into the operating system, 
whereas the App available for the iPhone 4 requires one to be in the 
application. For example, if I were to somehow obtain an iPhone 5 by selling 
all my worldly possessions, I could hold down the home button, and, much like 
the "voice control" feature present on the current iPhone model, I could say 
"send a message to Greg professing my love", and it would send a message to 
Greg, after pausing for an awkward moment. The difference is the integration, 
which is nice. I will resist my urge to endure absolute poverty and wait for my 
next upgrade (October of next year). I will then acquire the next model of 
iPhone (if the arrival of such is imminent). The features of the new iPhone are 
nice, but they don't make me drool with desire or anything. I have my eye on 
the LTE version, whenever that may be.

Re: Lion Growl no longer free

If it's 2 bucks I'm gonna pay and be happy to have the service.  It's so useful

a change in the way Audible.com samples are handled?

2011-10-05 Thread Ray Foret Jr
Say,

Anybody here noticed what appears to be a major recoding in the way audible.com 
samples are handled?  Now, it looks like that when you go to:

www.audible.com

and find a sample, the link is coded so that Voice Over can see and use it.  IF 
you have click to Flash installed, you will need to press return to play the 
sample.  IF not, just press VO+space to hear a sample.  You can only pause and 
play but not move forward and backward within a sample.  Anybody else noticed 
that?


Sincerely,
The Constantly Barefooted Ray!!!

Now a very proud and happy Mac user!!!

Re: listening to and using loops in Garage Band?

2011-10-05 Thread CJ Daniel
Ricardo,

Any chance of downloading the Garage Band tutorials from some where, before the 
Mobile Access site is up & running again?  I'd really appreciate it, if it is 
possible.  I was hoping to get started with my learning curve, now that I have 
Lion installed.

Thanks,

CJ

Steve Jobs Passes Away Aged 56

2011-10-05 Thread Neil Barnfather - TalkNav
Dear All,

Many of you may already be aware of the sad news of Steve Jobs passing, for 
those of you who are not, sadly, Steve has lost his ongoing battle against 
cancer.

May I personally say that whilst the work involving Voice Over may not per-say 
have been under his direct control and influence, I'm sure that his overriding 
philosophies, expectations and essence shall have played a part, and made their 
unique way into the product that many of us use today.

A truly remarkable, visionary and pioneer has been lost to us all on this day.

Rest in peace Steve...

Steve Jobs 1955 - 2011

Kindly.
