iBird

2012-05-10 Thread Eugenia Firth
Hi guys. 
After Esther put the information on about iBird, i got it and am having a lot 
of fun with it. Here's my question, though, if anybody knows. If you want to do 
a search for birds in Texas and Louisiana, how do you do it? I got the check 
boxes checked for both states, but I couldn't find the button or whatever to 
tell it to list them. I did browse the list of all 900 or so, but how, with 
VoiceOver on, that is, do you get just those in Texas and Louisiana?

The other thing is, can you get the range of the birds listed in words and not 
a map? 

Regards, 
Gigi

I have a question as well.  The information for the app stated you could search 
by bird sound -- but this implies there is a place in the app where one can 
browse bird sounds.  I cannot find such a place. Any help is appreciated.

Voiceover and Google Play Book Web reader

2012-05-10 Thread Teresa Cochran
Hi, all,

I've been trying to puzzle out Google Play for the web. Basically, the text in 
a Google book appears to have very strange large spaces. I've tried to press 
the "no justification" button with no effect.

VO will not read it very well, either. It pauses between words.

Has anyone had any luck with this? If you have a Google Books account, you can 
go to this site and see what I mean, perhaps.
http://play.google.com

I've tried it with Chrome and safari, with the same results.

Thanks,
Teresa

Re: anyone use Keynote?

2012-05-10 Thread Chris Blouch
Are you running a two-screen setup? In other words, you have your 
presentor notes on your laptop screen and your regular slide are runnon 
on some external projector? If you have just one screen then it will 
only show your slide content.

On May 8, 8:54 pm, Esther  wrote:

Hi Philippa, Chris, and Others,

I think the recommendation for presentations with Keynote is to export the presentation as a PDF file using the "Export…" option that can 
be selected from either the "File" menu or the "Share" menu on the Keynote menu bar, choose an output format of PDF, and then 
display the PDF output using the free app named "Skim". Skim has been described as "Preview on steroids".  It is similar to 
Preview, but has additional features.  One of these features is a "Presentation mode" for displaying presentation slides in PDF format 
created by applications such as PowerPoint, Keynote, Open Office, or TeX slide packages such as Beamer.  To enter presentation mode, use the shortcut 
Command-Option-P, or else go to the "View" menu to select this.  You can also set up your transition options with Command-Control-T.

Note that presentation mode correctly displays your slides, which the full-screen mode of 
Preview and Skim does not.  And you can read all content with VoiceOver using the PDF 
version of your presentation this way.  This subject was recently discussed on the 
Mac-access list, and you can read the posted discussions for the thread, "accessing 
power point presentation on the mac" at the Mail Archive web site for that list.  
I'll point you to one of
the relevant posts:
http://www.mail-archive.com/mac-acc...@mac-access.net/msg09136.html
Read down the thread using Control-N to access the next post. If you want to 
read up the thread use Control-P to access the previous post.

Skim is a Sourceforge project, but to find it, and most other Mac programs, do a Google 
search for this software at the MacUpdate site by using Command-Option-F to move to the 
Google search bar in Safari, then type "skim macupdate" and press return.  The 
MacUpdate site provides standard format listings of software that includes a short 
description, basic information on the latest version and its release date, information on 
whether this is a paid or free app, and direct links to download the program and to visit 
the developer's site.  You can also read comments about the app, and suggestions for 
alternatives.  The MacUpdate page link for Skim 
is:http://www.macupdate.com/app/mac/24590/skim

HTH. Cheers,

Esther

I found navigation while presenting to be buggy, at least with the usual 'dual 
screen' setup. I did find that after starting the presentation 
(command-option-p) that if I command-tab away from keynote and then command-tab 
back again VO focus seems to clear up and I can then navigate all the buttons 
and find the presenter's notes. Before that it was just weird and I couldn't 
find much of anything. Hope this works for you.

lefthand side of the screen is the various things you can search by, at least 
it's the lefthand side as best I remember. I found the options like melodious,

Hi,

if you go to the sources table and go to the playlist you created, interact, 
then press VO shift M to bring up the context menu the option should be in 
there.  There is more than likely another place to find the same option but, I 
never burn CDs so, I never really had reason to look for an easier or faster 
way.

How can I receive any messages that I post to this group so I know they go through?

2012-05-10 Thread Daniel McGee
Hi all, subject line explains it all. 
On other groups I'm on which are not google groups, how can I receive the 
messages that I post. For example when I get any messages on other groups I 
would get an email that says Daniel McGee date subject etc. This is how I know 
that the message went through to the list. 

Thanks 

Daniel

Hi, Daniel,

By default, Google doesn't send you copies of your own messages. I've found a 
way around this by going to the google mail site and creating a label and 
filter that puts all messages sent from me to various groups in those folders.

Hi there!
You can also make your own address book card and in one of the menus in address 
book is the option to make that card your card!
And when you've got that set up you can then in mail pref's under composing you 
can set the option to automatically bcc myself then any message you send will 
also go to you!
I recommend BCC instead of just CC because BCC does not seem to conflict with 
some of the lists I'm on when CC has been rejected some times!

Difficulties on iPhone 4S sending iMessages as opposed to 3G text messages

2012-05-10 Thread Mike Busboom
Hello everyone,

I have several friends who use iPhones, and I would prefer to send them 
iMessages as opposed to text messages, for which I pay.

The problem I am having is that for some reason, I am not able to send them 
iMessages.  I have gone into the Contacts app, as well as the Messaging app, 
but I can't find a place where I can specifically pick iMessage as opposed to 
"Text Message."  I must have changed something in settings somewhere, because 
this used to work.  I am still in the States and am using Wi-Fi only, with 
Airplane Mode turned on.  Since I'm not having problems with FaceTime, I have 
reason to believe that the settings pertaining to Wi-Fi and Airplane Mode are 
correct.

Any thoughts?

Thanks in advanced and best regards,

Mike

Open Office 3.4.0 not usable

2012-05-10 Thread Chris Blouch
Just found out about the new release so I downloaded and installed it. 
While some stuff in my word processing document could now be read, it 
was otherwise unusable. Text as I typed it was not announced and 
navigating a table was not functioning. In other words, Voiceover access 
is still not back so plan on using your bandwidth cap on more productive 
things.

Re: Difficulties on iPhone 4S sending iMessages as opposed to 3G text messages

2012-05-10 Thread chris hallsworth
The iOS device to which the message is being sent determines if it's 
going to be sent as a text or iMessage. If you have speak hints turned 
on, touch the send button and listen to the hint to find out what it is 
going to send as. What you may try however is to turn off iMessage, then 
turn it back on. Do this by going to settings, messages.

searching in iBird [was Re: iBird]

2012-05-10 Thread Esther
Hi Gigi and Christine,

There's an extensive set of help instructions under the "help" button, but I'll 
try to summarize. The search button (second button of five on the bottom of the 
screen) brings you to a screen with different search categories as well as a 
search field where you can type in criteria. As you add criteria and move back 
to the search page, you're told how many birds match your criteria, and then 
you can either continue to set search criteria until you double tap the "View" 
button in the top right corner, or decide to start an entirely new search by 
double tapping the "Reset" button in the top left corner.

Here's an example.  Double tap the "search" button. The search categories are 
grouped under headings "Basic Group", "Song", "Body Related", "Flight Related", 
"Pattern Related", "Head Related", and "Miscellaneous".  So let's say I wanted 
to search for birds that are observed in Texas during May, according to a 
particular song pattern.  Under the "Basic Group" heading there's an option for 
"Observed State/Month". Double tap this, and on the State/Month page, first set 
the state to "Texas" using the picker item on the top half of the screen.  Then 
flick down to select the month of "May" by double tapping to check this box.  
Once you set this combination, the heading at the top of the screen will change 
to "State/Month" (424).  The button at the top right is "Clear All" to reset 
your choices on this screen, and at the top left is "Search, back button" to 
return to the main search screen, which will now announce "424 birds matched" 
for the heading at the top of the page. For this page, the "Reset" button is at 
the top left, and the "View" button is at the top right.  

Now, let's add a search by "Song Pattern", which is one of the two categories 
under the "Song" heading search category on the main search page.  The options 
are "Falling", "Flat", "Rising", and "Sing-song".  Each time you double tap a 
category, you'll get examples of this pattern as well as checking the button, 
which you can uncheck either by double tapping the category again, or by 
flicking to the button and double tapping. Each specific search screen lets you 
clear all search criteria with a "Clear All" button in the top right, and 
return to the main search screen with a "Search, back button" in the top left. 
In addition, once you return to the search field, the number of matched birds 
in the heading at the top of the page gets changed, and the entry under the 
search category gets amended.  (For the "Observed State/Month" category this is 
only the number of birds, since you could have selected multiple months).  So 
let's say I choose "Sing-song" for the song pattern and return to the search 
page.  There are still 95 birds.  I select "Song" under the "Song" heading 
search category, and double tap "Quack-quacking". (I'm not going to list the 
song types on this screen -- this is a really long list). Again, this 
demonstrates the song and also checks the button, and if I want to uncheck it I 
flick right and double tap or just double tap the category again.  As before, I 
can use the "Clear All" button at the top right or the "Search, back button" at 
the top left to return to the main search screen.  You can check multiple 
categories, before returning to the main search screen, but I'll just choose 
one.  I now have 4 birds matched that are observed in Texas in May, with a 
"Quack-Quacking" song and a "Sing-song" song pattern.  Each of these selections 
is noted as I flick through the relevant search categories.

To view the matched selections, double tap the "View" button at the top right.  
I get entries for "Gray Catbird", "Northern Mockingbird", "Northern Shoveler", 
and "Reddish Egret", with brief descriptions.  To actually play the song and 
get detailed information, double tap on a selection, then double tap the 
"Speaker small" button in the bottom left corner.  There are multiple sample 
tracks for this bird, and also a list of similar sounding bird calls.

If you want to just type in a search entry to add in the search field on the 
main search page, just double tap the "Search" button in the bottom right 
corner of the virtual keyboard to add it.  The problem is knowing what 
categories to use.  If I type in "red", the matched entries go down to 1 bird 
(the "Reddish Egret".  To remove my typed search keyword I have to flick to the 
"clear text" button in the search box and double tap to remove it.

Hope this helps.  I learned on one of the free, lite versions for iBird that 
had many fewer entries!  I don't know how to get the range description if it 
isn't in the detailed description.


Cheers,

Esther

Re: Difficulties on iPhone 4S sending iMessages as opposed to 3G text messages

2012-05-10 Thread Mike Busboom
Hello Alberto,

Normally, I would agree with you, but, per your suggestion, I went into the 
settings and still did not find what I wanted.

iMessaging is turned on.  Nor did I didn't learn anything helpful when I 
clicked on the link that took me to the part of the manual that talked about 
the iMessaging service.  So I still find myself wondering why I am only being 
permitted to send text messages, though iMessaging is turned on and my phone is 
turned off.

Best regards and thanks for weighing in,

Mike

Re: Open Office 3.4.0 not usable

2012-05-10 Thread Steve Holmes
That's too bad too.  When I'm on Linux using Orca, Libreoffice
generally works pretty well.  To me, LibreOffice and OpenOffice are
the most powerful non Microsoft office products out there.  iWorks is
3 years old and God knows if it is going to be updated or not and with
OpenOffice inaccessibility, I gues if one is serious about office
productivity, then she better either stick to Windows or try out
Linux.  I don't get the impression that the iWorks suite is really
good for heavy office power users.

Re: Questions about switching from PC to Mac

2012-05-10 Thread Neil Barnfather - TalkNav
CV,

Well, collecting data, I personally said yes to the bit that said, can Apple 
collect, xyz, data in diagnostic form… There is a wide range of things that it 
says this includes, and you can be pretty confident it includes accessibility 
data.

its all anonymous anyway. Ultimately though, I have no grounds to complain, as 
with most, I agreed to this during sign up.

If you, on your Mac, go to the Apple menu, then about this mac, there is a 
section in the Universal Access section which is a long list of feature sets of 
the accessibility services in OSx.

Its a simple on / off list, yes / no, I bet a lot that this list is part of the 
data that Apple collect about my machine. thus, yep, right there in my list, 
Voice Over, yes.

There's a thought, Ricardo, though I am not optimistic. If that were a 
criterion, then other people's phones or iPads would need to be constantly 
transmitting this info to the network.  Nevertheless, for the sake of 
thoroughness and since you are probably right :) I will ask them to check this 
option.

Re: searching in iBird [was Re: iBird]

2012-05-10 Thread Esther
Hi Gigi,

I don't know how to get range information from the map display that shows up 
when you choose range. If you double tap the "Birdipedia" button at the bottom 
the screen for the detailed entry on a specific bird, there's a Wikipedia type 
description page that includes a verbal description of range.  It appears after 
a long list of links for the conservation status, scientific classification, 
and the binomial name.  There's probably an optimal way to navigate to the star 
of the verbal description.

Also, another important piece of information is that the detailed page for each 
bird contains more buttons at the bottom of the screen that you can access with 
a three finger scroll to the right to reach the second page of buttons.  This 
information was posted at the AppleVis site in an app review of iBird United 
Kingdom and Ireland.  I'm going to cc: this post to the viphone list, since 
there was a question just earlier about setting up a site for tutorials on how 
to use apps.  On the macvisionaries list I'd use the Mail Archive search 
function to locate these posts, but Mail Archive functions for the viphone list 
only got turned on in mid-April, so it's only searchable for content back to 
then.  And I didn't cc: my earlier post (listed below your post) on searching 
in iBird to that list.

HTH.  Cheers,

Esther

Subject: searching in iBird [was Re: iBird]


Hi Gigi and Christine, 


There's an extensive set of help instructions under the "help" button, but I'll 
try to summarize. The search button (second button of five on the bottom of the 
screen) brings you to a screen with different search categories as well as a 
search field where you can type in criteria. As you add criteria and move back 
to the search page, you're told how many birds match your criteria, and then 
you can either continue to set search criteria until you double tap the "View" 
button in the top right corner, or decide to start an entirely new search by 
double tapping the "Reset" button in the top left corner.


Here's an example.  Double tap the "search" button. The search categories are 
grouped under headings "Basic Group", "Song", "Body Related", "Flight Related", 
"Pattern Related", "Head Related", and "Miscellaneous".  So let's say I wanted 
to search for birds that are observed in Texas during May, according to a 
particular song pattern.  Under the "Basic Group" heading there's an option for 
"Observed State/Month". Double tap this, and on the State/Month page, first set 
the state to "Texas" using the picker item on the top half of the screen.  Then 
flick down to select the month of "May" by double tapping to check this box.  
Once you set this combination, the heading at the top of the screen will change 
to "State/Month" (424).  The button at the top right is "Clear All" to reset 
your choices on this screen, and at the top left is "Search, back button" to 
return to the main search screen, which will now announce "424 birds matched" 
for the heading at the top of the page. For this page, the "Reset" button is at 
the top left, and the "View" button is at the top right.  


Now, let's add a search by "Song Pattern", which is one of the two categories 
under the "Song" heading search category on the main search page.  The options 
are "Falling", "Flat", "Rising", and "Sing-song".  Each time you double tap a 
category, you'll get examples of this pattern as well as checking the button, 
which you can uncheck either by double tapping the category again, or by 
flicking to the button and double tapping. Each specific search screen lets you 
clear all search criteria with a "Clear All" button in the top right, and 
return to the main search screen with a "Search, back button" in the top left. 
In addition, once you return to the search field, the number of matched birds 
in the heading at the top of the page gets changed, and the entry under the 
search category gets amended.  (For the "Observed State/Month" category this is 
only the number of birds, since you could have selected multiple months).  So 
let's say I choose "Sing-song" for the song pattern and return to the search 
page.  There are still 95 birds.  I select "Song" under the "Song" heading 
search category, and double tap "Quack-quacking". (I'm not going to list the 
song types on this screen -- this is a really long list). Again, this 
demonstrates the song and also checks the button, and if I want to uncheck it I 
flick right and double tap or just double tap the category again.  As before, I 
can use the "Clear All" button at the top right or the "Search, back button" at 
the top left to return to the main search screen.  You can check multiple 
categories, before returning to the main search screen, but I'll just choose 
one.  I now have 4 birds matched that are observed in Texas in May, with a 
"Quack-Quacking" song and a "Sing-song" song pattern.  Each of these selections 
is noted as I flick through the relevant search categories.


To view the matched selections, double tap the "View" button at the top right.  
I get entries for "Gray Catbird", "Northern Mockingbird", "Northern Shoveler", 
and "Reddish Egret", with brief descriptions.  To actually play the song and 
get detailed information, double tap on a selection, then double tap the 
"Speaker small" button in the bottom left corner.  There are multiple sample 
tracks for this bird, and also a list of similar sounding bird calls.


If you want to just type in a search entry to add in the search field on the 
main search page, just double tap the "Search" button in the bottom right 
corner of the virtual keyboard to add it.  The problem is knowing what 
categories to use.  If I type in "red", the matched entries go down to 1 bird 
(the "Reddish Egret".  To remove my typed search keyword I have to flick to the 
"clear text" button in the search box and double tap to remove it.


Hope this helps.  I learned on one of the free, lite versions for iBird tha

Re: Open Office 3.4.0 not usable

2012-05-10 Thread Steve Holmes
When I first heard that OpenOffice was really good with OS X, it was
probably during the Snow Lepeard days; it was an older podcast so when
I began hearing about all these breakages, I was most disppointed. I'm
also somewhat dismayed that it has been over nine months and it's
still broken.  Mountain Lion will be along fairly soon and then where
will OO be? Probably require even more retrofitting to get things
right.

In the meantime, it works really good with Orca on Linux.

into icloud.

If any of you can answer this question I'll enjoy having that answer as well. I 
almost wondered if Apple got rid of that function.

Hi,

Keep in mind, it might not be you.  The person your sending messages to might 
have turned iMessages off.

Re: Difficulties on iPhone 4S sending iMessages as opposed to 3G text messages

2012-05-10 Thread Mike Busboom
Thanks for your responses.  I have never used iCloud, but am I correct in 
guessing that I would log in through my iPhone's settings and that the password 
I use for buying apps from the AppStore is the one I would use for the iCloud 
as well?

Thank you and best regards,

Mike

Re: Olearia

2012-05-10 Thread Steve Holmes
Is there any documentation available for this app anywhere? The link to the 
user manual on the site is broken and the zip file only has an .app file.  So 
how is one supposed to be able to use this thing?

I'm not one who likes to install an app and have no clue where to go from 
there. That's like flying blind so to speak.

Yes, that is right.  You use your same Apple-ID to hook up with the cloud.
