Re: Web Creation and Voice Over

2012-02-11 Thread Krister Ekstrom
Hi,
Last time i looked at Rapidweaver it seemed very accessible, it's a bit on the 
expensive side, but maybe worth looking at. It's a web creation system where 
you can both use code and wysiwyg style editing. Both worked well as far as i 
can remember with VO. It's available in the Mac App store.

Problems with new extended keyboard

2012-02-11 Thread Frank Tom
My friend just bought  a 21.5 inch I Mac with extended USB keyboard. In key 
describer mode, the f1 through f4 and F7 and F8 keys do not work.  Is there  a 
special key combination to enable these function keys or did he just get a bad 
keyboard? 

Thanks.

RE: A few Chrome Questions

Thanks.
Are there any chrome extensions that do make reading web pages or navigating
the net a better experience with VO?

Hi, Bill,

Chromevox is basically a miniature screen-reader that reads the content of
webpages. You would need to turn VO off when you launch Chrome in order to
use it. Also, it doesn't read menus and preferences within Chrome. However,
it may have better webpage accessibility than VO in a few cases. Just be
aware that you can't use VO and Chromevox at the same time.

The way to install chromevox is to go into Chrome preferences with
command-comma. Find the extensions tab and go to the extensions gallery from
there. You can search for Chromevox in this area and download it. From there
you will have instructions on how to use Chromevox.

 My suggestion would be to leave Chromevox alone for a bit and try Chrome
with VO instead.

Context Menu on the iPhone?

2012-02-11 Thread Michael Busboom
Hello,

I am looking for the equivalent of a context menu for iPhone apps.  Somehow it 
is probably activated by tapping once and then holding but I could be wrong.  I 
am also wondering how to do a "select all" in an edit field.  The other day, I 
used Siri for text dictation and could have really used a "select all and 
delete" command on my iPhone.  I had dictated a text in English, but I had 
neglected to switch Siri to understand English.  It took me forever to delete 
the text since I could only delete one character at a time.

Any help on these issues is, as always, greatly and gratefully appreciated.

Mike

Re: Context Menu on the iPhone?

2012-02-11 Thread Aser Tolentino
The equivalent to a context menu for an element is typically activated by 
double tapping and holding, but this is neither universal nor as ubiquitous as 
you'd find on desktop operating systems. To select all; move through the rotor 
until you get to "edit" then flick up until you reach select all. You can then 
double tap to select and delete or replace as you like.

RE: Context Menu on the iPhone?

2012-02-11 Thread Daniel Miller
Hi,
To add to that, what one might think of as a context menu is more typically
found on the iPad, as opposed to the iPhone, since the iPad screen is
larger, therefore more realistate is available to the user.

Re: Context Menu on the iPhone?

2012-02-11 Thread Esther
Hi Mike,

If you're in an edit field on a text, mail, or note on your iPhone, you can set 
your rotor to "Edit".  Place two fingers on the screen and make a twisting 
gesture as though you were turning a dial. You'll hear options like "Typing 
mode", "Language", "Characters", "Words", "Lines", and "Edit". Then, once you 
have set your rotor to "Edit", flick up or down through the options. You'll 
hear options like "Select All", "Select","Paste", "Replace", etc.  Double tap 
when you reach "Select All".  

I'm pasting in the relevant instructions from the section on "Entering and 
editing text with VoiceOver" from the iPhone User Guide:
Select text
 Set the rotor to Edit, flick up or down to choose Select or Select All, then 
double tap. If you chose Select, the word closest to the insertion point is 
selected when you double-tap. If you chose Select All, the entire text is 
selected. Pinch apart or together to increase or decrease the selection.

Cut, copy, or paste
 Make sure the rotor is set to edit. With text selected, flick up or down to 
choose Cut, Copy, or Paste, then double-tap.

Undo
 Shake iPhone, flick left or right to choose the action to undo, then 
double-tap.

If you put an icon for the section of the accessible HTML user guide dealing 
with VoiceOver on your iPhone Home screen, you can click the Home button, then 
navigate to this part of the guide on your home screen, double tap, and read up 
the sections with instructions.  Then you can double click the Home button to 
go to the App Switcher, and return to editing your text.

Mike, I did a lot of this sort of looking up instructions when I got my first 
iPod Touch, which is why I suggested (in my post on the mac-access list) that 
users add either the section heading for VoiceOver or the one above it for 
Accessibility to their iPhone Home screen.  I'll excerpt the instructions from 
my mac-access list post:

My preferred way to learn the VoiceOver related material is to add a link to 
the copy of the section of the HTML user guide that specifically deals with 
VoiceOver or accessibility on my home screen.  For example, for the iPhone in 
iOS 5, this might be the section dealing with VoiceOver:
• VoiceOver (in the iPhone User Guide for iOS 5)
http://help.apple.com/iphone/5/voiceover/en/iph3e2e4218.html
or else the section one level above it dealing with Accessibility:
• Accessibility (in the iPhone User Guide for iOS 5)
http://help.apple.com/iphone/5/voiceover/en/iph3e2e2c13.html

There are different specific links to these sections in the guides for the iPod 
Touch and iPad. In Safari on your iPhone, double tap the "Utilities" button 
just above the Home button at the bottom of your screen. One of the options 
will be "Add to Home Screen".  Double tapping that button will put an icon on 
your home screen that will let you bring up the linked section of the user 
guide immediately from your home screen.  This provides quick access to reading 
about VoiceOver gestures, controlling VoiceOver using an Apple Wireless 
keyboard, etc.


If you double tap the link given above to the VoiceOver section of the 
accessible HTML user guide for the iPhone while reading mail on your iPhone, 
then Safari will open up at that heading.  You'll be able to get immediate 
access to the links for:
VoiceOver
Setting up VoiceOver
Using VoiceOver
Learning VoiceOver gestures
Using the VoiceOver rotor control
Entering and editing text with VoiceOver
Making phone calls with VoiceOver
Using VoiceOver with Safari
Using VoiceOver with Maps
Editing videos and voice memos with VoiceOver
Controlling VoiceOver using an Apple Wireless Keyboard
Using a braille display with VoiceOver

If you double tap the "Utilities" button above your Home button, you'll find 
the option for "Add to Home Screen".  That will allow you to immediately bring 
up the sections in the User Guide dealing with  VoiceOver from your home screen.

HTH.  For those who want the full, accessible HTML version of the iPhone user 
guide -- which can also be accessed from your bookmarks in Safari on your 
iPhone -- here's the URL:
http://help.apple.com/iphone/5/voiceover/en/
This information can also be found in the guides section of the AppleVis web 
site.

Cheers,

Esther

Re: voice over trackpad commander gesture preference file

2012-02-11 Thread Esther
Hi Yuma,

I don't have a direct answer for you, but here's a suggestion on how to locate 
the preference file you want.  Open up a Finder window and use the 
Command-Shift-G "Go to folder" shortcut, then type or paste in the location of 
the Library/Preferences folder for your account:
~/Library/Preferences
Have this set to view as list (Command-2), interact, then navigate to the "Date 
Modified" column and sort (VO-Shift-Backslash) so that you can view the most 
recently modified preference file.  

Then, go and set up a new custom gesture.  After you do it, Command-tab back to 
your Finder window display of preferences, and check which were the most 
recently modified files (there might be more than one).  

This was the method I used to find out that the different keyboard language 
setups were saved in a file named "com.apple.HIToolbox.plist" -- something that 
I would never have guessed.  The acronym stands for "Human Interface Toolbox".

Also, if you're paranoid about wanting to keep copies of your most recently 
modified plists, using the sort by modified date and copying the most recent 50 
or so may help if you want to track corrupted plists at a later time.  I used 
to periodically keep a few saved plists just in case I wanted to track down odd 
account behavior changes.  They don't take much room, but this ensures that I 
get the ones that are being modified by my actions -- whether I know  their 
names or not.

HTH.  Cheers,

Esther

Re: voice over trackpad commander gesture preference file

2012-02-11 Thread Yuma Decaux
Hi Esther,

Thanks for the suggestion. The preference file is the one i previously checked. 
Com.apple.VoiceOver4.local.plist 

For some reason the gestures still won't save.

I've also noticed that when creating a gesture in an activity, and changing a 
gesture back on the global commander settings, if there were no customizations 
on the activity, the change from the global don't reflect on the  activity 
itself. This can quickly become messy when using multiple activities  and i'm 
reporting this to apple as i don't think people want to be chasing down 
inconsistencies in gestures where global ones take precedence over non 
customized activity ones.

Best

Re: Braille editing/translation software for Mac?

2012-02-11 Thread Annie Skov Nielsen
Hi Philippa.

I am having the same question. I have contacted indexbraille, and they told me, 
that there hopefully would be a solution in about six month. I have a lot of 
problems with my braille printer. I only have a mac now. I have tried with 
vmware running windows, , but I can not get any braille solution to work that 
way too.

Best regards Annie.

A music Library without Syncing again!

2012-02-11 Thread Kawal Gucukoglu
Hello Everyone.

This may be a long mail so delete if you do not want to read.

>From time to time, we all have trouble with our music in our Itunes Library as 
>I had recently.

To cut a story short, I had purchased a lot of music from Itunes using my I 
phone 4S due to the fact I was at work and feeling a bit bored with what I was 
doing.  (Sh) do not tell the boss.  I was finding that all my purchased items 
were not showing on my I phone 4S so I must have reset my phone half a dozen 
times and this kept happening that all my music was not showing.

So today, I was talking to someone who has used the Mac for years with Voice 
Over and they were explaining how all his music was in the Cloud.  Prior to 
that, I had gone in Itunes to the Store tab to view my account information.  
Purely by accident, I was checking that my Icloud was on and my Icloud Match 
was on too. So I kept arrowing across and I came to a tab called add devices to 
my I Cloud and it asked me if I wanted to add my Mac Book Pro which I duly did. 
 Voice Over informed me that now all my music would be uploaded to the Cloud on 
my Mac.  I then thought that this would mean I did not have to sync my I phone 
4S with Itunes to get my music.

So again I deleted all my content off the phone and set my phone up again.  
Whilst I was doing that, a friend of mine said that I should make sure all my 
music was uploaded to the Cloud.  So he told me to do command J on my Mac as 
more columns would be shown where my music table was.  I could check and 
uncheck the columns and two of the columns were important, I Cloud status and 
whether each song was matched or not.  Once I had set up my columns, I went to 
each track in my music library and next to each track it either said download 
or local.  If it said Local, then it was in the Cloud.  If it said Download 
then it meant that I had to press the VO space bar to start the download.  If I 
then went to the right with VO right arrow, then the Icloud status would say 
matched, purchased.  So I went down the column with VO down arrow and made sure 
all the column was showing purchased, uploaded or matched.

So now I have aperfect library where I do not have to sync my I phone to as I 
only sync my podcasts, Apps and books.

Also, you can select all your music table, and do command I, go to the option 
tab, and slide your volume up to 100% and so when your music is played it's at 
maximum volume.

I do not know if this information is useful to anyone but now I'm hassle free 
from worrying about my I phone 4S being filled up too quick.  It even downloads 
the next trac ready to play when your track is finished.

Best of luck for whoever tries it.

Kawal.

Re: A music Library without Syncing again!

2012-02-11 Thread Scott Howell
Kawal,

I was a little confused when you said that if the track said "local" meant it 
was in the cloud and "download" meant you could download the file. As I 
understand, "local" indicated it is on your local drive and "Download" means it 
is not on your local drive, but is in the cloud. 
Perhaps I misunderstood? At least for me "local" means just that and the track 
is on my drive. I just went through a substantial cleanup of a totally 
unattended mess. :)

Oh sorry, I get your point, when I was doing this, for me it was just so I knew

How do I put Skype on my Mac?

2012-02-11 Thread Jennifer Perdue
Hi,

I've used Skype on windows but never a mac.  Do I go to some website to 
download it and if so which site?  If not, where do I get it from and what app 
will I need to use it most easily.  

Thank you all in advance.

utorrent accessibility redux...

2012-02-11 Thread Eric Oyen
well, I am not sure what I did, but it seems that the scroll areas are now 
reading desired information to me. 3 torrents and all complete (and seeding). 
all I need to do is start sharing VINUX (Linux free OS for the blind) and I am 
all set.

perhaps part of my confusion is the layout of the client. btw, DO NOT try 
transmission bittorrent client for OS X. the client starts with no windows and 
its menu is completely inaccessible. definitely will not work with voiceover.

another that will work with voiceover is an ncurses based (command line) called 
rtorrent/libtorrent. you will have to install macports to get this client. it 
works reasonably well, but can be a tad difficult to deal with using voiceover. 
you will need to interact with the scroll area in the terminal in text mode. 
reorient is useful for those cases where you don't want the complexity of a GUI.

Re: How do I put Skype on my Mac?

Jenny:

You can download Skype for Mac OSX from the skype.com page.  Once it downloads, 
open the Skype.dmg file you'll find in your Downloads folder and copy the 
"Skype.app," file to the applications folder (~/applications).  Let me know if 
you need further help with it.

all you need to do is go to Skype.com and download the client. then you can 
open the dmg file and copy the Skype application to your applications folder. 
then start up and fill in the username/password. one thing though, Skype 5.x is 
hard to use in some respects. you will need growl installed to be able to 
automatically read chats when they happen. I use Skype 2.8 simply because the 
5.x interface is a nightmare for me.

 Kawal,
 
 I was a little confused when you said that if the track said "local" meant 
 it was in the cloud and "download" meant you could download the file. As I 
 understand, "local" indicated it is on your local drive and "Download" 
 means it is not on your local drive, but is in the cloud. 
 Perhaps I misunderstood? At least for me "local" means just that and the 
 track is on my drive. I just went through a substantial cleanup of a 
 totally unattended mess. :)

Super frustrated trying to read table

2012-02-11 Thread Christine Grassman
Hello all. I am in one of those "about to toss this thing out the window" 
moods. I have tried reading the information on a table using Safari and Google 
Chrome, something I normally have no trouble doing. I am wondering if it is the 
site, but in every other way, the site seems accessible. It is
http://www.tassimo.com
I am attempting to modify an auto delivery order, but cannot read the cells in 
the table, and can only seem to find options to change the frequency or ship 
date of an order, rather than change the quantity of products. I can only read 
the frequency of the order -- no other cell information is accessible. Any 
ideas? Thanks much.
Christine

Hi Krister,

Thank you for the reference.  I'm afraid that I'll need to get a copy of Rapid 
Weaver for Dummies!  I couldn't figure out how to begin using the program.  Can 
you describe how to use the products?

Thanks,
Grant

Hi,
Last time i looked at Rapidweaver it seemed very accessible, it's a bit on the 
expensive side, but maybe worth looking at. It's a web creation system where 
you can both use code and wysiwyg style editing. Both worked well as far as i 
can remember with VO. It's available in the Mac App store.

Re: Super frustrated trying to read table

2012-02-11 Thread Esther
Hi Christine,

I tried out that site with Safari 5.1.2 (part of my very recent upgrade to 
Lion).  Here are a few observations.  If you are selecting Auto Delivery, start 
out by selecting the quantity on the product page, where you can check 
availability, select the radio button for auto delivery, and set the quantity 
before you press the button to add to cart.  When you press the button to add 
to your cart, you'll hear VoiceOver say "Just added to your cart" "Close".  
This is a window that comes up that overlays your screen.  If you use item 
chooser menu (VO-I), and first type "just" then type "but", you'll get "Just 
added to your cart, close button", "Just added to your cart, checkout button", 
and "Just added to your cart, continue shopping button".  Choose one of these 
options.  If you use the checkout button, you should be able to navigate the 
table of your order.  However,  I tried putting sample product in the cart with 
default quantity of 1, set the radio button to auto delivery, then got a 
message that auto delivery required at least a quantity of 2.  Then I tried 
updating the quantity within the table.  I finally managed to do this, but 
there's a problem because the button to update the changes you make to quantity 
is not labeled.  After the last row of your order, you'll hear voice over say 
something like "row 4 PRODUCT spans 5 columns button column 1".  That unlabeled 
button turns out to be the one that you need to press to update your changes to 
quantity.  That's why I said it's easier to start by setting the quantity when 
you make your original product selection, rather than trying to change it.  
However, if you use item chooser menu to navigate to the "Just added to your 
cart, checkout button" so you can press it, you should be able to read and 
navigate the table for your order.

HTH.  Cheers,

Esther

Yes, 

To label a button press VO+/ while you are on the element you want to label.
