Re: An introduction

[Anne Robertson]

Hello Brandt,

In Pages, as in almost all text editors in Mac OS X, there is a problem 
navigating tables. What you have to do is to interact with the text area, the 
body I should think in your case, and navigate just using the arrow keys. When 
you hear "Space, highlighted", open the inspector (Cmd-Option-i) and select the 
3rd button, Wrap. Then navigate right to the radio buttons and select Floating. 
Hide the inspector (Cmd-Option-i) and your table will be editable and shows up 
as an additional item on the page.

Cheers,

Anne

Radio player for Mac

[Brandt]

Hi their folks, 

I am looking for a radio player in the line of tapin radio for windows, or 
TuneIn radio for iOS. 

I know that radium works fine, but it is a paid app. If you have any ideas, 
please let me know.

Warm regards,

Re: Radio player for Mac

[Rod Skene]

For free solutions, I use the radio and iTunes and piano pub for Pandora. I 
also think TuneIn radio has a website that works pretty good with voiceover. I 
really like radium though as you mentioned it is a paid app, but it works 
great. I really like how it is not in the command tab sequence. It just stays 
up in the extras menu.
Sorry I don't have something more in line with what you were asking for. Good 
luck. Rod

Re: Radio player for Mac

[Jürgen Fleger]

Hey, thanks for the hint. Radium seems to be wonderful. Bought it right now. 
In the version information in the App Store they said they improved VO 
accessibility. Do you know if there are some special VoiceOver short cuts. And 
do you know how to in- or decrease volume?
Thanks and all the best

Facebook Frustration Revisited: Is It My Imagination, or . . .

[Christine Grassman]

Have both the iPhone FB app and the mobile site morphed  yet again into 
something unnecessarily problematic for those of us who use VoiceOver? I know 
several here have said that with some patience, they are usable, but you know 
what? I should not require any more patience and time to figure out the latest 
changes than the average sighted user, and I am about ready to deactivate my 
account. Much smaller companies with significantly fewer resources can make 
their apps and sites easily accessible  -- why not Facebook? It is more 
principle than anything else at this point. I have gone from using FB daily 
when I first joined, keeping up with far-flung family and friends, to feeling 
as if it is a chore each time. I doubt that is the user experience most 
companies are striving toward.

take a while for all accounts to be effected.  just wish they would pick

Re: Radio player for Mac

[ROD SKENE]

I don't know of any special VO  shortcuts, but there is a few in preferences 
you can activate. For example, anywhere, I can press command shift x, and it 
will pause/play the stream. You can change the volume in more options pop up 
button. Interact with headphones and VO right arrow. Interact with the volume 
slider. It has built-in air play support, so you can change the volume of air 
play speakers separately.
My favorite feature is SiriusXMsupport. Sure beats the online player. 
Good luck,
Rod

Re: Facebook Frustration Revisited: Is It My Imagination, or . . .

[Teresa Cochran]

Not to make light of the accessibility issue, but I can assure you that all the 
sighted folks I know who use it are constantly ticked off by the interface 
changes. My sighted husband is always grumbling about it all. I think that 
there's an uneasy balance between making it useable by millions of people and 
the amount of tweaking most folks will put up with before they give up. Because 
so many use it in their everyday lives, they grumble about it and keep using it 
anyway. I admit that I do this still.

The integration of interfaces, making the mobile sites and apps and the full 
sites more similar to each other, is something Apple is also doing with its OSs.

We'll just have to see how it all plays out. Facebook is a corporate entity 
that sells a service and they will do what they want with it, for the most part.

Re: Radio player for Mac

[Brandt]

Hi there,

I just went and bought radium from the Mac App Store. 

The latest version of radium is just such a beautiful experience. Everything is 
simple and smooth, with a very clean Interface.

The amount of buttons, is still the same, though, you would find that you have 
to interact quite a bit more than you use to.

For example, the stations table use to have two columns. On the left, you had 
checkboxes for adding or removing stations from the favorites. Now, you have a 
list of groups, with two buttons in each. One being a listen button, and the 
other being a button, which could be add, or remove station from favorites.

Warm regards,

Brandt Steenkamp

I love stanza

[Maria & Joe Chapman]

HI guys.

I found another use for stanza.  I have a pdf with recipes in it.  the recipes 
read really strange with preview.  The ingredients were in one column and 
amounts in another etc.  I think you kind of get the picture.  I was going to 
launch windows and see if I could get any sense out of adobe reader, but before 
that, I thought I'd convert the document to epub using stanza and see how it 
then read in itext express.  Ok, this isn't perfect everything is on one line 
instead of having blank lines between each ingredient, but at least I can now 
read it, do a bit of editing and perhaps put the recipes in paprika.  When I 
first got stanza I got it just in case, now I'm not only converting things to 
epub so I can read them on the iPhone/ipad but it's helping with troublesome 
pdf files.

 
Blessings! Maria Joe and loving guide Karly.

Prescription Labeling for Blind and Low Vision: Public hearings to determine our future!

[Nancy M]

 

*What:* The US Access Board Working Group on Accessible Prescription Labels 
is holding open meetings to determine best practices f­­or labeling 
prescriptions for the blind and visually impaired.  

 

*When:*  Monday, March 18 1:00 pm to 5:00 pm Eastern Time

 

*Where:*  Telephone 888-603-7094, passcode 6317703.  Dial in any time 
during the meeting; the public comment period is anticipated to start 
between 4:15 and 4:30 pm Eastern time.

 

*Why:*  Prescription information should be accessible to everyone, 
regardless of vision condition.  

 

The board is not, at this time, considering codes that can be read by 
mobile devices such as the iPhone or Android and it is not considering 
mobile technology as an option for label reading or recording.  We believe 
that this is an option that should be included in the recommendations 
because of its convenience, low cost of implementation, power and 
portability.

 

We encourage you to find out more about this committee and to consider 
giving some input on the topic because the results almost certainly will 
determine how your prescriptions are labeled in the future.  

 

For more information, read on!

 

*How does the Working Group affect you?*

The US Access Board Working Group on Accessible Prescription Labels is 
holding hearings to determine best practices f­­or labeling prescriptions 
for the blind and visually impaired.  

 

The working group is a public body and meetings are open to the public.  
So, if you want to participate and make your opinions known, you have a 
chance to do so!

 

The next meeting is scheduled Monday, March 18 from 1:00pm to 5:00pm ET. 
The Access Board will be specifically discussing audio labeling of 
prescriptions.  The document they are working from is here:

http://www.access-board.gov/drug-labels/practices-summary.htm

 

And the hearing will start with the line titled “*Practice of Providing 
Audible Labels -- Digital voice recorders attached to a prescription drug 
container”*

 

The committee typically discusses their document and then saves the last 30 
or 45 minutes for a “Public Forum” and open the phone lines for public 
comments. 

 

The dial-in number is 888-603-7094 and the pass code is 6317703.  You can 
dial in any time.  

 

We'd like to encourage­­ people who are interested in mobile solutions to 
attend the next meeting by phone and speak up for the option of including 
mobile technology as one of the audio options.

 

We recommend that you prepare a short statement to read to the committee 
that says something to the effect:

 

“My name is _ and my vision condition is .   I 
use the iPhone and other mobile technology in my daily life *(give examples 
as to why it is useful*).  I believe that the commit should include the use 
of labeling that can be read and voiced by mobile devices such as the 
Android or iPhone because (state your reason for wanting mobile technology 
included – we believe it is a useful solution because it means we don’t 
have to carry around a bulky reader or use a special recorder and can just 
use the same convenient prescription bottles that everyone else uses!)

 

It is not all that common for us, as citizens, to be able to influence the 
course of legislation, but this is a great opportunity to speak up and say 
what *we* want and how *we* want it!

 

*Using Labels Readable with Digital Technology*

At this time, the committee is considering only existing solutions such as 
bottle recorders and ScriptTalk. We believe that it is in everyone’s best 
interest to understand that there is no single good solution to making 
prescription labels accessible and that the range of solutions should 
include the use of labels (QR code and other) that can be read by devices 
such as the iPad, iPod, Android or iPhone.

 

Here is a sample pharmaceutical label that can be printed on a simple, 
inexpensive round label and fitted on the bottom of a standard 40ml 
prescription bottle.   
http://www.digit-eyes.com/graphics/pharma-see/sampleLabel1.png 

 

 

The code above can be scanned and voiced with any QR code scanning app on 
the iPhone, Android or other device that can read and voice QR codes.  You 
can, for instance, read it with the free version of Digit-Eyes:

https://appstore.com/digiteyeslite 

 

As shown in the sample label, the content can include personalized 
information about the prescription as well as a link to the authoritative 
source of information about the medicine in the bottle (in this case, a 
sample penicillin label, a link is included to the Medline Plus page for 
the specific formulation in the bottle.) 
http://www.nlm.nih.gov/medlineplus/druginfo/meds/a685015.html

 

The advantage of this type of labeling is straightforward:  for people who 
have a phone that can scan codes, no bulky reader or awkward addition to 
their pill bottle is needed.   The “reader” is

Re: I love stanza

[Annie Skov Nielsen]

Hi.

Stanza is good enough when you know its limitations, one of them is mobi files, 
not all of the text will be shown in stanza, and then be converted to epub, 
only to let you know.

I sometimes use stanza for PDF files, but it is old and will not be updated 
anymore.

Best regards Annie.

Re: Radio player for Mac

[ROD SKENE]

Yep, I really like Radium too. My only suggestion would be to make organizing 
the favorites with VoiceOver easier. I was able to do it,, but it took some 
time. Drag and Drop did not work very well. Small issue though compared to how 
much I use the app and how much I like using it!

 I also think TuneIn radio has a website that works pretty good with 
 voiceover. I really like radium though as you mentioned it is a paid app, 
 but it works great. I really like how it is not in the command tab 
 sequence. It just stays up in the extras menu.
 Sorry I don't have something more in line with what you were asking for. 
 Good luck. Rod

Re: accidental keystroke found with the logitech 811

[Kliphton A M]

If you don't have the keyboard manager from logitech installed, just push f1, 
f2, or f3. If you have the tool installed, then push fn plus 1 of the above 
keys, and you will switch just fine.

Re: [BlindTech] Tap Tap See.

[Eugenia Firth]

Hi guys
I really like the TapTapSee program. My husband wasn't home and I need to find 
out what was in this bottle in the refrigerator. After taking a picture, the 
answer came back that it was ranch dressing. I will add that I tried to scan 
for barcode, but couldn't find the thing.
Here's my question I wanted to give the TapTapSee people a $20 dollar donation 
as it suggested in this message that I got. I think they deserve it. However, 
when I activated the link that was in this message, it didn't work. Michael 
since you sent this message, what should I do if this link doesn't work?
Regards,
Gigi

 In the version information in the App Store they said they improved VO

 And do you know how to in- or decrease volume?
 Thanks and all the best

provides way to do this as part of the Google Groups service but a
