Re: getting started with pages
Hello Chris, I'm not a student, but I work as a freelance translator and most of the documents I work with are MS Word format. I use Pages and export to Word and the only formatting problem I have is with text boxes which do not stay in the correct position between the two formats. Styles and so on transfer just fine and by setting hotspots in the right places, you can check on the style of any piece of text easily. If you have to write papers in either APA or MLA format, let me know and I can send you the Pages templates for these as they do not appear among those provided with Pages.

Re: ColorVisor version 2.0 now available
Hallo Alex, I think there are two ways to achieve a calibration. First is a calibrated sensor connected via Bluetooth. The second is a samll scanning box in front of the camera where you include some known colors next to the scanning object. The camera measures both, the known colors and the object and the app could calculate correction values to calibrate itself. On the iPhone, you do not have the foll control and knowledge about the torch. Its strenght may change and you do not know the exact value. Additionally, one can not guarantee, that every torch on any device has axactly the same torch color. Greetings Jan --- ColorVisor - The app to identify colors.

Re: Best GPS for me?
Okay, thanks for this. Does it matter the distance to the place one wishes to track. In other words, I know places are identified by default at 490 feet. Let's say I wish to go to the bus stop that is around 4 or 5 miles away from my home. Can I set that as a favorite place to track? That may not be the best example, since the bus stop's intersection is identified. But my wife works at a store that is about a half a mile away, and I'd like to have that location tracked as I walk. Can that be accomplished? Thanks. Les On Oct 25, 2012, at 12:29 AM, Ilkka Pirttimaa wrote: > I'm glad you like it.

Re: Best GPS for me?
When you add your wifes workplace to "My Places" following happens: 1) When you get within selected radius, place is mentioned automatically when you get close (so, in a bus you get "warning") 2) When you are within selected radius, selecting "My Places" category lists this place and you can start tracking 3) When ever you go to Tools / My Places you get list of ALL of your places. You can start navigation or tracking from there even if you are outside of radius If you start tracking the place, it is not mentioned so often when you are more than 500 meters away. Distance and direction is reported more often when you get closer. Basically on main screen, everything is in scope of selected radius. When you go "sub screens", you get wider look (search, my places) -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "MacVisionaries" group.

VoiceOver and YOutube
Hi everyone, Sorry for two posts today. I have been bugged by this one for a long time now. Sometimes when I play videos from youtuube, VoiceOver will read out how much of the video is downloaded or something. like 9 out of 13 percent.

Recording From Tapes
Hello List, I'm wondering if anyone can help me. I am attempting to record from tapes using Audacity. When I plug tape player up to Mac, I can hear contents of tape going into the computer, but contents from tape are not getting recorded. Rather, my voice and movements are getting recorded. I have checked in System Preferences, Sound and Input for in-line, but only option is built in microphone. Do I need to purchase a USB cord for sound recording from tapes and other devices? Thanks, any help is greatly appreciated. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "MacVisionaries" group.

Re: question for my fellow fusion users
Good morning Kliphton: I've not gotten a chance to run Fusion from a NAS drive, however I have used a Windows 7 VM running on an SSD as well as an HDD with a a USB enclosure. The takeaway is: the performance is going to vary depending on your system as well as the drive. Spinning drives are going to be unbearably slow if you've gotten used to an SSD. That being said, I did not run in to any degradation issues using a VM with an SSD. Overall performance was quite snappy.

Re: Setting up mac mini?
Well, if mice and trackpads work with no setup, that explains it. You just click away until you are told to enter the password on the keyboard, and then all is well. Of course, this does no good at all for blind users as there is no mouse or trackpad command to launch vo, but it explains why sighted people hav no trouble.

Re: Automator, launch application
In the keyboard commander window, there is a popup menu to select which option key to use (left, right, or both). Select both and there you go. You get the usual warning that the option key will not work normally after doing this, but it works fine provided the keystroke you want involves one or more modifiers in addition to option. I is only keystrokes that are option-only which will be affected. On Oct 24, 2012, at 10:32 PM, "Christopher-Mark Gilland" wrote: > No, you're not odd at all. Hey, if it works for you, do it.

Re: Recording from tapes
Hello, I think you might need something called the Imike available from amazon.com for $24. . It's the only way I can record from tapes. It has both an audio in and out jack. You can plug a patch cord from your tape deck to the mac, and then connect a pair of headphones. If you change the sound input to Imike it will work. It has a USBcord to connect to the Mac. I have done this, but not using Audacity though. I've only used Amadeus. I hope this helps :)!

Hello! I'm developer of BlindSquare. There is no try-and-buy option
since TTS costs always. You can still use Apple's returning policies,
there is always possibility to return app and get money back.
About what BlindSquare does: It reports automatically street addresses
while you walk, next street crossing, automatic pedometer reading
("you have walked 700 meters in 7 minutes") and reporting of nearby
places by categories (it automatically picks most popular places
within selected radius, based on foursquare check-ins). This all
happens just by launching the app so it takes no time to start using
the app, even if you don't use FourSquare yourself.
If you take phone out of the pocket, you can search categories, set
reporting certain category on/off, "look around" (you get information
what kind of places and what street crossings are in different
directions), search with free search term, view information of places
(name, address, phone number, www-site, twitter feed), start
navigation to the place or do foursquare check-in.
When you jump into the bus, BlindSquare automatically notices it and
starts reporting street crossing while bus is making a turn so you can
keep track where you are.
You can also add placemarks for yourself. They are synced to iCloud so
if you have several devices (for example iPad + iPhone), you always
get informed when you get near that place. Some users use this to give
warning about bus stop they need to get off.

Re: Automator, launch application
Sure, I could do this under VO Commanders, but I enjoyed the challenge and learning something new about my Mac. I also thought, the service shortcuts would work when VO is off. I like to know the native Mac shortcuts as much as possible, in case there is a problem with VO. Extending the shortcut discussion a bit further… Have y'all noticed there is 3 flippin ways to get or to open the desktop? VO-shift-d, F11, then to open it command-shift-D. Lol, I think I'll reassign one of those.

Re: Best GPS for me?
For your knowledge, version 1.20 is sent to Apple for review. It will have following changes: NEW FEATURE: Works on background. You can disable this from settings. NEW FEATURE: FourSquare leaderboard announcements NEW FEATURE: Volume can be changed NEW FEATURE: Web page of the venue can be opened NEW FEATURE: Accessibility information is shown (Only Helsinki, Finland) NEW FEATURE: Full support for iPhone 5 NEW FEATURE: Support for iOS 6 navigation NEW FEATURE: If Speech switch is set to off, it's automatically turned on if you use any other function CHANGE: New version of Acapela speech synthesis CHANGE: Selected radius is saved CHANGE: Maximum speaking rate increased CHANGE: Better control for bluetooth speakers FIX: Upside Down orientation supported with iPhone 5 FIX: Minor fixes for iOS 6 NOTICE: Landscape usage is not supported anymore with iPhone because it caused some problems. Compass still works in any orientations if your screen is towards you. With iPhone 5 you can place your device to your pocket upside down and compass notices this. Usage of the proximity sensor is removed because it caused problems for people reading screen from short distance. It is not needed anymore since lock screen is now supported (background operation). Background operation is on by default. It is not possible to listen to music with background operation turned on. You can enable music listening from settings. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "MacVisionaries" group.

Re: Best GPS for me?
You can check-in to Home too, so you will get points :-) FourSquare will not publish location of your home outside of your friends. I just checked that when I'm not logged in, 4sq give overall map of the area with text "Since this is a home, the exact location is not shared here. This map is of the approximate area."

Re: VoiceOver and YOutube
That's easy, especially in Mactubes. I sy that because the buttons don't have labels, but they do have help tags, so you need only move to one and wait for the help tag (or press vo-shift-h) to know what it is for. Press vo-slash to bring up the "label element" dialog and type in the name (I uset use the same text as the help tag). It takes only a minute or two and then you don't have to worry about it.

nidus writer
Hi all. So i'm on a mission to find my favorite word processor for use in school. I'm currently trying nidus writer pro, or express. One question i have is, how can you stop voiceover from bouncing around in the document? I have interacted with the document, a 50 page or so chapter for school, and i will try to go to the next page and it bounces me back to the beginning of the whole document. Does anybody have suggestions for jumping to previous and next page?

Blindsquare (was Best GPS for me?)
Can this app be used without Foursquare entirely? It sounds useful when I am able to get an iPhone, but I don't use Foursquare and find those checkin tweets very annoying from others. Besides, I don't like the idea of my every move being broadcast to the world. Still, the app's ability to speak street names and mark commonly used locations seems perfect for my current navigational needs.

Re: Blindsquare (was Best GPS for me?)
It works totally without FourSquare. My initial idea was to make an app that you can use without any knowledge of smartphones. You don't even need to have FourSquare account. It can still access foursquare database and it get's information about other users check-in counts. That way it knows "what is the most popular cafe within 200 meter radius" where ever you are. I think this is kind of cool: People that likes to play game of FourSquare are helping you to find places that are the best (or at least most popular) of that category! No other data source of POI's has this kind of information about REAL popularity compared to other places. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "MacVisionaries" group.

Re: Best GPS for me?
Tammy, currently there is no way to use BlindSquare to add place to FourSquare. It's planned feature but now you have to do that with FourSquare client. BlindSquare will then show it in category "Shared Places" (I think it describes it better than "Private", since it's shared among your 4sq frends). In BlindSquare you can add your own places. They are totally private to only you. They are stored to iCloud and synced in real time to your other devices if you happen to have for example iPad and iPhone. I have planned a feature that you could sync your own place to FourSquare but I haven't done that for 3 reasons: 1) You can already do it by using FourSquare client 2) There is no way to delete own place from FourSquare via API 3) I have so much more interesting ideas under development so I think you would like them to be implemented first :-) -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "MacVisionaries" group.

Re: Blindsquare (was Best GPS for me?)
That is a cool idea, though my town is so small that I doubt I would get accurate readings.

Blindsquare is totally a stand alone app if you want it to be, and works really well on the bus or when you're walking to tell you street crossings etc. hth Tammy -Original Message- From: Alex Hall Sent: Thursday, October 25, 2012 4:58 PM To: macvisionaries@googlegroups.com Subject: Blindsquare (was Best GPS for me?) Can this app be used without Foursquare entirely? It sounds useful when I am able to get an iPhone, but I don't use Foursquare and find those checkin tweets very annoying from others. Besides, I don't like the idea of my every move being broadcast to the world. Still, the app's ability to speak street names and mark commonly used locations seems perfect for my current navigational needs.

Re: Best GPS for me?
Hhi, thanks for the information. Now all I have to do is figure out how to add personal places in foursquare and I'll be set! Tammy -Original Message- From: Ilkka Pirttimaa Sent: Thursday, October 25, 2012 5:32 PM To: macvisionaries@googlegroups.com Subject: Re: Best GPS for me? Tammy, currently there is no way to use BlindSquare to add place to FourSquare. It's planned feature but now you have to do that with FourSquare client. BlindSquare will then show it in category "Shared Places" (I think it describes it better than "Private", since it's shared among your 4sq frends). In BlindSquare you can add your own places. They are totally private to only you. They are stored to iCloud and synced in real time to your other devices if you happen to have for example iPad and iPhone. I have planned a feature that you could sync your own place to FourSquare but I haven't done that for 3 reasons: 1) You can already do it by using FourSquare client 2) There is no way to delete own place from FourSquare via API 3) I have so much more interesting ideas under development so I think you would like them to be implemented first :-) -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "MacVisionaries" group.

Re: Setting up mac mini?
Yeah, I had this very experience last year when I bought my Mini. I started out with a bluetooth keyboard and then I ran into the chicken or egg question. How do you pair the keyboard without speech and how do you start VO without a paired keyboard? So I went back to the Apple store the next day and bought a full sized USB keyboard and got through it. What happens for anyone not using VO is the dialog comes up saying that a keyboard is missing; you then get the opportunity to pair it and of course, a sighted person can just read the numbers and enter. We need VO to do that. Anyway, once VO is running, pairing the bluetooth keyboard is a sinch.

Re: MacMini
I suspect the problems are software, not hardware, so I don't think a hardware refresh will change anything. I could be wrong, though, and some people have said on this list that they had no trouble even with older Minis. I guess try it with no monitor and see if you end up needing one.

Now I don't know if this is still a problem. But the way he got around it was to buy a adapter that plug ins in to the USB and connects to your TV. But you don't need to really connect the TV, the adapter just fools it in to thinking that there is a monitor connected. Again I don't know if this is still necessary, but if she buys the Mini and dose have problems with it she could try this workaround.

Re: reading e-mail
Yes, that works best for reading, but I'm able to navigate and even highlight just fine. The only problem I've ever come across is that, if I move around with the commands and then decide to read from where I am with vo-a, vo reads from the top of the message instead of where my cursor is. Interacting fixes this, but I have no other problems.

Re: Rading messages and notifications with Skype on the Mac.
Hi Kawal, All new chat messages and other things will come to you in the side bar of Skype. You know to interact with this table, choose the person you want, or stop at the contacts category. You can stop interacting, and vo+right arrow to the table to choose a contact. But if the person you want to read a message from, has sent you one, they'll be in your side bar, below contacts and recent. You can then press vo+j to jump from the side bar table, to the HTML area of Skype, where you will find the chat, call, and other history related to that contact. Navigate this with vo+left and right arrow. You can then press vo+J, or just start typing to get to the edit area to respond to the current chat.
