Re: hybrid computing

[Mr. L. Alexander]

the whole point of this is a net based sub operating system for sighted users. 
this won't support screen reader technologies for 2 reasons, firstly the 
compatibility of the graphics chip on the device to a system like jaws and 
secondly the legal ramifications concerning the installation of JAWS on the 
developer's hosts to then be included to each installation. this is something 
which would cost the developer an absolute fortune.

from what I have heard through a fellow techie, it is actually possible to run 
windows XP directly on it's own on an ipad without using a server elsewhere. it 
requires some tweaking and a bit of technical knowhow but from what I 
understand it's completely possible.

from my years  in the IT sector, I've worked between windows, Mac OS, linux and 
unix and I have to say, there's always challenges, always different ways an OS 
will behave, it's limitations and inclusions, etc.

oh well lol.

Re: Still trying to get Fusion running

[Les Kriegler]

Okay, a question.  When our IMAC arrives, I will be installing Windows in order 
to run with VmWare Fusion.  Which should be installed first?  In other words, 
should I install VmWare Fusion and be prompted to install Windows or should 
Windows be installed first and then VmWare?  I have the latest version of 
VmWare, version 4, and Windows 7.  Thanks.

Re: Still trying to get Fusion running

[Mr. L. Alexander]

For the case of istalling VMWare, VMware is a mac app and run only in OS X. so 
install VMware fusion first. after VMWare is installed, create your new virtual 
machine, you can tune the VMWare machine to whatever spec you need, as long as 
you leave enough memory for OS X. so as an example if you're using a 4GB ram 
mac setup, your max for VMWare is 2GB. create a disk size about 50gb depending 
on the OS you wish to install. from there, it's pretty straight forward.

it's a good idea at this point to open bootcamp and create a driver CD only, 
not to set up bootcamp. this may help depending on the nature of the OS and 
installation.

The best Mac alternative to MS Office

[Deamon David]

Hi folks.
Since I myself aren't using Office suites that much, I'd like to ask
those of you who uses such much for the best solution for Mac?
Am I right that we have the options between OpenOffice, LibraOffice
and iWork?
There are two criterias here: (1) Accessibility, with VoiceOver and
(2) that it must handle these MS Office based format as good as
possible.
Hope there are some help out here :-)
Best regards David

Re: The best Mac alternative to MS Office

[David Griffith]

I personally have found Open Office completely unusable under Lion. I 
understand that there used to be some accessibility under Snow Leopard but 
under Lion I cannot get any typing echo at all.

If it is wordProcessing you are after I would stick to Text Edit perhaps 
supplemented by the Free Bean Word Processor.

I have bought Nisus Writer Pro and Pages but I must confess that I do not use 
them much, especially Pages which is a whole learning curve I have to get into. 
Unfortunately I do not currently have the time.
If you are after a spreadsheet i understand Tables is a more intuitive 
spreadsheet than Numbers. I have not really investigated this yet as I am still 
using Excel under Fusion.
I have heard Bento is an accessible database.

Some help with vlc

[.dan.]

I have installed vlc and want to use it from the command line in terminal.

As is no doubt known, it is a very complex application with many functions.

All I want to do at this point is to give a command and have a mp3 file 
played.  The same with a streaming audio source and podcasts is of 
interest.


I have tried to do the mp3 function using what I gleaned from the man page 
and some online discussion, no joy.


Can you help please?

Re: The best Mac alternative to MS Office

[Eugenia Firth]

Hi David. 
I am running my business just fine with Pages and Numbers. True, I ended up 
telling one of my customers that due to a computer thing she didn't want to 
hear more about, I couldn't do tables. I had this option available to me which 
some people don't. I am learning, thanks to Anne, some new things with Numbers 
which i wish I had been smarter about before. I just did the test to find out 
the location in a cell in Numbers, and it works great. 

I have no need for the fancy things like footnotes, so I can do ok with 
TextEdit most The time. As far as I can see, Pages works fine with Word files, 
as g as you don't need tables. I will say that I had a little problem setting 
up a template in Pages for envelopes, and this may be that I don't know what 
I'm doing. However, my sighted husband put in a filler so I could find the 
place to put in the address.

Gigi

Re: The best Mac alternative to MS Office

[matthew Dyer]

You can get open office from www.openoffice.org.  Libri-office can be found by 
doing a google search for it as I do not have a site for it off hand.

Re: select all command for the IPhone?

[Red.Falcon]

Hi Jessica!
OK I might have this wrong, but on your Iphone are you on the [all mail folder] 
if so this might be your problem!
That Gmail [all mail] can hold all of your history!
So if you can go to where you pick the folder you wish to be in, [Gmail 
account] if you are on [all mail] change it to Inbox!
And this might help!
If you are already on Inbox then I'm stuck!

Re: Still trying to get Fusion running

[Mr. L. Alexander]

in the case of a windows 7 platform, especially 64 bit, allocate 4GB ram. if it 
was as an example windows XP then you could manage at 1GB, 2GB ideal, the same 
with windows Vista  at 1.5 to 2GB ram due to it's graphical nature and added 
processes.

for windows 7, 4GB on an 8GB ram system. solves the problem straight away.

in my honest opinion, the very idea of using VMWare for intensive windows 
sessions isn't it's pure intention. VMWare fusion was designed as a windows 
platform host for general use and data acquisition, some graphical interface 
work, etc. not for Pro Audio Work, etc due to the requirements of the 
processors, RAM, disk management, etc and not the use of a virtual drive method.

Bootcamp drivers

[Bill Holton]

Hi.

I saw these on a knowledge base.  It seems to imply you cannot install the
bootcamp drivers as  a package on Win 7 64 bit.  Does anyone know if this is
still true or is this old information?

: The Boot Camp drivers setup wizard only works in the Boot Camp-supported
OSes:

Windows XP, Windows Vista, and Windows 7 (32-bit) (Boot Camp 3-only). For
other Operating

Systems, including Windows 7 (64-bit), you must install the drivers
individually

Imap Weather Radio Fwd: TAC Contact Request

[Shawn Krasniuk]

Hey guys. Esther, I did what you said to do about the Imap Weather Radio not 
working here in Canada. I find it odd that they can't fix whatever issues they 
have with their alert system for places outside the states. Anyway, here is 
what they said, and I guess that $9.99 has gone down the drain, eh?

Looking for a good English Dictionary for the iPhone that does just a little bit more

[Mike Busboom]

Hello everyone,

I recently downloaded the Merriam-Webster dictionary App for my iPhone, and I 
really like it.  There is one feature, however, that it either doesn't have, or 
I haven't been able to activate it.

Sometimes, when entering an unfamiliar word, I don't get the spelling quite 
right, and the dictionary accurately states that the word isn't in its 
database.  I am looking for an offline dictionary that automatically lists 
alternative words that it thinks might be the word I am actually looking for.  
My old Franklyn Language Master has this feature, and I am looking for 
something similar for the iPhone.  Any and all suggestions would be greatly 
appreciated.  In case you're interested, the word over which I stumbled, i.e. 
the word that made me wish for this feature was "potemkin."

Mike

Actually Advanced English Dictionary might be a better idea, since the way in 
which WordBook let's you look up any word in a definition by making each word a 
link makes definitions a pain to listen to. They're both pretty good.

Re: Looking for a good English Dictionary for the iPhone that does just a little bit more

[Mike Busboom]

Hello Aser,

Is the dictionary to which you referred in your second posting from Oxford 
University Press?  I frequently recommend the Oxford Advanced Learner's 
Dictionary to my students in Vienna.  This dictionary is great for both 
students of English and those of us who grew up with the language.  I will have 
a look.  I am sure that it is accessible. :)

Best regards and thank you,

Mike

VoiceOver on my iPHone suddenly gets silent

[Emrah]

Guys,

Is this also happening to you? Am I the only one to upset my VoiceOver?
I use the latest iOS and VO stops speaking quite frequently. I can still hear 
the clicks and so on so forth, but no more TTS.

Any idea?

Thanks!

Re: VoiceOver on my iPHone suddenly gets silent

It has been happening frequently on both my iPhone 4 and iPad 2 since iOS 5 
first dropped. Didn't someone back then posit a possible memory leak? It can 
occasionally be extremely annoying.

Re: VoiceOver on my iPHone suddenly gets silent

[Eugenia Firth]

I have had this happen sometimes when I have downloaded a lot of messages from 
email. I can get VoiceOver back by pressing the home key three times, waiting, 
and then doing this again. After a few times, VoiceOver comes back. This is 
annoying, but it doesn't happen enough for me to get too upset about it. I 
figure Apple will fix it eventually, and I'm having a lot of fun playing with 
it the evenings, and talking on it all day. I probably use my iPhone these days 
more than anything I've got. 

Regards,
Gigi

Re: select all command for the IPhone?

I don't know if this will help but you could set it so after you get mail from 
your server it deletes the copy it keeps or set ti to keep it for a day or

Siri and voice over coexisting not peacefully all the time

I just had an experience which I would like to bring up. I am having a lot of

Re: Siri and voice over coexisting not peacefully all the time

I actually noticed that as well, but didn't disable voiceover, because I didn't 
think that was causing it.  I always wondered what was causing it to get so 
hung up though; appreciate the tidbit.

Re: The best Mac alternative to MS Office

For those of you who use Open, How do you get VO to tell you what you are 
typing. It does it for all of my other apps but not this one. I hope there's a 
way since I like the setup Open has. Is Libre more accessible?

Re: Siri and voice over coexisting not peacefully all the time

[Becky Knaub]

Hi GIGI,
what about turning the speech off by using the three fingered double tap and 
then turning it back on. I don't have a 4s tet because VZ suddenly changed 
there contracts so now I have to wait til October to get Siri. But I have a 
friend who has it and she had the same problem. She does it the way you are 
doing it now.

Re: Siri and voice over coexisting not peacefully all the time

[Eugenia Firth]

Yes, I did a reminder; when I get time I need to delete all the extra ones I 
have right now. When I did this reminder with Siri without VoiceOver in memory, 
I was a little skeptical that I could get it done. However, luckily she said if 
I wanted it and responded to "Yes." I have had the screen come up and have ahd 
to split tap on Confirm. If she would respond to Yes, that would solve that.

Gigi

Re: Siri and voice over coexisting not peacefully all the time

[Becky Knaub]

Maybe for the next IOS they need to have a bridge since VO and Siri create a 
feedback loop just like Jaws and Dragon do if you don't have JSAY or the Old 
versions of Kurzweil and JAWS when you had to shut off the speech or it 
crashed. I would let apple know this happens often so they can fix it.

i love applescript

[Yuma Antoine Decaux]

Hi list,

I was just fed up with going through long stats tables and input everything 
manually. So i looked for scientific calculators which did certain specific 
functions for me. Then either they're not yet completely accessible, quirky or 
just don't have the function, or again are on the iphone and well, it's not the 
same speed of input right?

So back home, in an hour, i tested my applescripting knowledge to make a script 
which takes any number of variables x and their probabilities, and the script 
instantly calculates mean, variants and standard deviation.

It just freaking works.

So now i'm thinking of applying it to every different application, 
probabilities, NPRs NCRs, trigonometry, complex numbers, everything thrown at 
me i'll script the correct app and unify them all into one big applescript that 
will use some objective c elements for the UI.

Seriously folks, consider applescript as an advanced tool to do a lot of things 
quickly and efficiently. 

The headache lasts a few hours after a month or two reading up and trying 
different things in applescript, but the rewards are plenty.

Now i just wish apple would enhance the voice over dictionary for more power 

Best regards,

Yuma

twitter clients on mac

[Yuma Antoine Decaux]

Hi list,

I currently use yorufukuro, but it does not have a dictionary for applescriot, 
and though what i did using GUI scripting is fine, i don't like the mouse 
emulation method of doing things.

Does anyone know of an accessible twitter client on the mac appstore? I tried 
twitter and twitterrific but neither is accessible though both have 
dictionaries.

Any other alternatives greatly appreciated 

Best regards,

Yuma

Can't open an audio based DAISY book in in daisy worm

[Kevin Gibbs]

Guys,
Some of you may have been following my troubles on the viPhone list.
I'll summarize here by saying that I finally got the book I have,
which is in DAISY 2.2, into the file sharing section of the apps tab
of iTunes on my Mac.  However, for the life of me, I can't get the
book to open.  I can't get my iPhone to get past extracting book
archive followed by the title of the book.  How do i open the book on
the computer which should transfer it to the iPhone.

Curiously, I've messed up my ability to get into the indaisy server.
trying to get into 10.0.1.5 yields a message that the connection was
refused.  Also curiously, I did manage to get in once because of a
previous connection that I found in a list of previous attempts.
Unfortunately, I closed Fetch without logging out of that session but
having cleared the menu of previous sessions.  So, I guess I'm in that
session but, because I can't remember the name of the server, I can't
get back there, or something.  does anyone know the name of the in

Re: Still trying to get Fusion running

[Les Kriegler]

Lou, that's why I acquired 8GB of RAM.  Now one final question.  I'll run Jaws 
on the virtual Windows machine.  Jaws uses the numeric pad, and I understand 
the Mac Keyboard on the iMac does not have a numeric pad.  I'm considering 
purchasing a full-sized keyboard to replace the one that comes with the iMac 
and wonder if this is advisable?  I also recall reading about SharpKeys, think 
I got that right, in order to remap keys for use in Windows, so not certain 
which is the preferred option here.

 Hi,
 
 First, I have 8GB RAM.  So should I give 4GB to Windows 7?  Also, do I 
 already have BootCamp on the system I'll receive in order to create the 
 driver DVD you reference?  Thanks.

Re: Still trying to get Fusion running

[Mr. L. Alexander]

yep. use the extended pro keyboard for JAWS based use and sharp keys for 
remapping. that will do the trick. 8gb ram on your machine will really help.
