100 I HP Mobile printaer
Hello. I got my printer to work on the Mac but had to get a replacement due to the first not feeding paper through. I then deleted the first printer off my Bluetooth list and at the moment can't connect the new printer but am having it looked in to as a sighted friend of mine is looking at the leaflet for me. However what I want to ask is can you print via the I phone using Buetooth? I have heard that you can't but is this true?

windows on macs
Hi there. Does anyone know how to migrate windows from the pc to mac where it only will pull over your settings with windows and not the whole darn computer? Is that possible? I can figure out how to migrate, but I don't want my whole pc on my mac, lol.

Re: Capital Letters
HI Anne, The problem isn't that the pitch doesn't change. The pitch does change. The problem is that in addition to the pitch changing VoiceOver still says the word "capital" before the letter. PERHAPS THE BEST EXAMPLE IS FOR YOU TO READ SOMETHING IN ALL CAPS SUCH AS THIS SENTENCE BY CHARACTER. YOU'LL SEE THAT VOICEOVER SAYS THE WORD CAPITAL BEFORE EACH LETTER AS WELL AS CHANGING PITCH WHICH MAKES IT VERY TIME CONSUMING TO SPELL A WORD.

Re: Using the Mac for doing legal work
Wow, thanks for going to such lengths looking stuff up for me. Yes, the Supreme Court of New South Wales here in Australia has 50 lines on each page not including headers or footers. I guess each court probably has their own specifications but they're all equally precise. Seems I will have to check out Nisus. I was planning on checking it out anyway. Thanks again for your efforts. Cheers, Nic -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "MacVisionaries" group.

Re: Capital Letters
Hi Nic! Sorry you miss understood what Anne said! I've change my voice to Alex and with him Capitals at as they should! even in this example when I arrow through and it is set to change pitch all that happens is the pitch changes! And with speak all that happens is Alex says Cap X and nothing else! So Anne is right with what she said!

Re: manage dashboard widgets
Hi. What I'm looking for is a way to remove widgets I don't want from showing up on the menu. All my google searches say that there is a button on the dashboard to press, and when you do there is an option to manage widgets, where you can then see a list of your widgets with a check for each to show or not show. This button is what I can't find, I'm beginning to believe that it is inaccessible. In any case, what I really want is a way to show/hide widgets that appear on the menu.

Thanks Esther and Ricardo, I tried all these solutions and nothing doing. It's like this one icon on the site is simply not there.

Re: manage dashboard widgets
Hi, There explanations are providing the answer you're looking for. This process is accessed differently when using VO. • VO-f2-f2 brings up the Widget Chooser menu. • Arrow to the Widget you wish removed then press return. This will bring focus to that Widget. • Press VO-cmd-esc for which VO will announce "Return Yes, Esc No". Therefore, simply press return and that Widget will no longer appear in the Widget Chooser and not be displayed on your Dashboard. HTH. Later..

Re: A Fun Action Game Playable on the Mac: AudioDisc
You can do a command-i on the file and have it open with Safari. Or you can right-click and choose open with, then other, then make sure you have all apps specified and choose Safari. You can also in both cases check the "always open with" box.

Re: Downloading from tantor.com
Well, Honestly, I'd rather have lynx just to download audiobooks on my mac than trundle out my windows vm for the process.

Re: Nisus writer pro VS anything else
Hi Nicholas, at first: I'm using Preview in OS X 10.8.3 Mountain Lion and it's a catastrophy. I'm really experienced how to use programs on the Mac but I can't understand why some people in this list say it's good to use. I also discussed the issue with an Apple Senior Adviser and he confirmed all my issues in a phone call. We went through the issues step by step. I guess the satisfied users use Preview in Snow Leopard or Lion. Here's what I criticize on Preview in Mountain Lion: When I interact with the text area and use VO + arrow up or down, right or left, the VO cursor jumps around in the text. It's especially obvious in the head area of a letter where you have the addresses. When I read a normal text line by line it works partially but at some point VO beginns to read ends of the former line once more and mixes lines completely. Not to speak about pdf files with a certain structure like columns or tables. It doesn't matter what view I use. I'm not sure wether this might be an issue of the german version of Preview but a lot of my friends also complain about that. They are as annoyed as I am. That's what I don't like about Preview.

Re: VoiceOver: Using VoiceOver on a Mac without a display attached may cause applications to be slow or unresponsive
Never noticed a reply to this. Did you ever experience any sluggish behavior or other odd stuff from running without a monitor? Generally the VGA to NTSC adaptor can run very high resolutions so you should be fine if you still need that. Would be nice to find out my little contraption is no longer necessary. In reality, we just need the VGA connection to have certain pins connected to make it think a monitor is there. Companies used to sell "VGA terminators" which did this but I couldn't find anybody who still sold them, so the VGA to NTSC adaptor was the cheapest equivalent I could find. From that perspective, it doesn't even matter if the converter really works, just that it makes it seem like there is a monitor attached. CB On 11/16/12 7:27 PM, Vic wrote: Thanks Esther. I wonder if John is listening on this discussion. I wonder if HDMI adapter will work the same way and whether the NTSC converter takes much space on one's table. Thanks a lot for the help.

Re: Nisus writer pro VS anything else
Hello Jürgen, For the jumping around problem, have you tried turning cursor tracking off or setting the mouse cursor to ignore the other cursors? Do you also find that in Preview, letters with an umlaut have the umlaut separated from the letter? This is a problem with accented letters in French. It's also true of accented letters in file names. My husband and I put together a very comprehensive report on this problem a couple of years ago, but nothing has come of it. I think we'll have to dig it out and send it to Apple again. Sometimes I think that other languages are a low priority for Apple.

Re: Reading .epub books on mac
Thanks, Esther, for your comments comparing the Kobo and Nook web pages. The Nook page is rather messy/cluttered, even when just purchasing books. But I find it worthwhile because of the Nook app's superior accessibility on the i-devices, as compared with Kobo. Reading with Digital Editions will be a nice breakk, since I happen really to prefer the Alex voice to anything on my iPad. But you can't beat the convenience of continuous reading that the well-designed Nook and i-books apps offer on the i-devices.

Re: menu items and voiceover

Re: Nisus writer pro VS anything else
Hello Anne, I agree that one can have the impression you described below. Fortunately There are no issues concerning german umlauts, not yet on the Mac. There are issues in iOS. Since version 6 VO can't read umlauts anymore and nothing happened so far to solve it. Yes I've already tried to play with the cursor settings, without any success. Once a member of the accessibility team told me they changed the pdf engine of Preview what could cause the issues. But next time another member told me no, he wouldn't think so. Sometimes I have the impression there are no blind members in Apples accessibility team. To me - who uses the Mac nearly exclusively - there are some problems totally obvious but when I ask the accessibility team for help they are not even aware of the issue. Once we tried something out. We sent the same bug report twice and received two completely different answers. Very strange, isn't it? Really, I love my Macs and I don't want to switch to Windows again. And so I'm so interested in making the Mac even better. And so I just hope, they'll take our reports more serious in the future.

Re: VoiceOver: Using VoiceOver on a Mac without a display attached may cause applications to be slow or unresponsive
Hi all, I was using a ntsc adaptor. Now I connected it to our tv via HDMI and find the Mac mini mid 2010 very slow. I tried plugging in the adaptor at the same time but it was messing up the resolution for the HDMI. Will still see if I by any chance have a problem with some app. When I get to unplugging it from tv and using it with old ntsc I will let you know if it goes faster. BTW I use Mountain-lion.

PDF reading on the Mac and in iOS [was Re: Nisus writer pro VS anything else]
Hi Jürgen, Anne, and Others,
I also generally keep my mouse cursor set to ignore other cursors for more
stable behavior, unless I'm working in an app with transitioning accessibility,
where having the cursors track can help in the navigation. Anne, I'm surprised
that input from French Mac users, who are a pretty large community, hasn't been
given more attention at Apple with regard to the pronunciation issues of
accented characters in PDFs in Preview. I recently suggested to Mike Busboom
that he might want to get Voice Dream Reader on his iPhone in addition to
Read2Go, when he posed a question here about continuous reading. Although I
gave him a number of reasons that I thought this would be of interest to him,
since he likes to read German books and documents using the Infovox/iVox
voices, I didn't mention that one advantage would be having the accented
characters in PDF documents read correctly! There was a post a month ago on
the AppleVis forums from a Brazilian iPhone user who was complaining about the
fact that accented characters for Portuguese and Spanish PDFs weren't read
correctly in iBooks, and hadn't anybody noticed this. He'd already spent a lot
of time trying to solve this by performing conversions to ePub format, without
much success in getting this simply and successfully done, and was annoyed that
this problem persisted. Were there any PDF reader apps for the iPhone that
didn't have this problem? I told him to contact accessibil...@apple.com, and
that unfortunately, I didn't have a good solution short of using an ePub
version of the text in iBooks, or getting Voice Dream Reader to read the PDF
content on his iPhone with Portuguese and Spanish voices obtained through
in-app purchase at $1.99 each.
If you look in the archives, you'll see that Rafael Bejarano raised the
question a few times whether people found the original Preview running in Tiger
to work better than the versions that ran in Snow Leopard and later versions of
the Mac. The changes in reading order of columns and tables (where VoiceOver
reads all the elements in the first column, then all the elements in the second
column, etc.) came in the later operating systems. If I use Preview on my G4
PowerBook that dates from 2005, columns read find, and the navigation is
stable, although there are far fewer options. I used to wonder whether Apple
switched the default format of the "VoiceOver Getting Started Guide" on their
accessibility web pages from PDF to HTML, because it would have been
embarrassing to have the columns of VoiceOver commands listed in the Appendix
tables read out of order with VoiceOver in the later operating systems, when
the PDF version of the guide was used instead of the HTML version.
For simple cases of tables, such as the ones listed in the Appendix, I can use
the free, third party pdftotext program from Carsten Blüm's installer packages
pages:
http://www.bluem.net/en/mac/packages/
(This is not signed for Gatekeeper, so you need to OK it's installation on
Mountain Lion systems) Three months ago I had some off-list exchanges with a
member of the Mac-access list who wanted to read his PDF bank statements on the
Mac, and sent him the following AppleScript to test, based on the pdftotext
program. This uses switches to keep strings in stream order ("-raw") and
maintain the original physical layout ("-layout"). The AppleScript is just a
wrapper around the "pdftotext" command so it can be used from the GUI, since
"pdftotext" runs from the terminal command line:
---Cut Here---
(*
Use pdftotext to create a text version of the selected PDF file in steam order
Created 26 January 2013; modified from PDF to Text AppleScript of 17 May
2011
*)
on run
tell application "Finder"
set chosenFile to the selection as alias
end tell
do shell script "/usr/local/bin/pdftotext -layout -raw " & quoted form
of POSIX path of chosenFile
end run
---Cut Here---
This did work for Paul's banking statements, but not for some other, more
complicated PDF documents. You're welcome to use it if you want. You can
either paste the sample AppleScript code into an AppleScript Editor window,
with the option of playing around with the code, and just Command-tab between
AppleScript Editor and Finder to select a file in Finder, then use Command-r to
run the AppleScript in the AppleScript Editor. Then you can save the final
AppleScript to the Library/Scripts folder of your account (e.g. Command-Shift-g
then type or paste in "~/Library/Scripts" for the folder location. Or
alternatively, you can just save the script directly into the ~/Library/Scripts
folder under your user account after testing it with Command-r, without making
modifications. Either way, the script will then be available from the
"AppleScript" menu of your services menu bar (accessed with VO-m-m or
Control-F8), assuming that your preference menu for the AppleScript Editor ha
Re: best way to produce high quality sounding youtube video
For short clips syncing the video can work. They just tend to drift apart over time so longer form stuff might not work. Official NTSC video is 29.97 frames per second but some software will just round that up to 30 (or gets close but not exactly 29.97) so then the audio eventually doesn't align and gets more out of sync as things progress. So was the echo in your recording all natural ambient? Wonder if you could even get close with the filters in GarageBand. One of the craziest echos I ever heard was going into a dry concrete cistern which was hard walls on 6 sides (other than the small opening to get in through the roof). The slightest sound would seem to go on for a minute. CB On 4/18/13 5:08 PM, Ioana Gandrabur wrote: Thanks Chriss and Danny.

Re: VoiceOver: Using VoiceOver on a Mac without a display attached may cause applications to be slow or unresponsive
hi all. So lets see, as i understand it and i might indeed be wrong would not have been the first time, if i go out and buy the Mac mini server, i can use it happily with out a monitor, but if i just get the usual mac mini the special kid is still needed?

Re: baring the magic track pad
baring the magic track padHi Ramey, I think you have your P's and B's mixed up. The word is "pairing" not "baring", and "appreciated" not "abbreciated". Maybe someone switched keys on you when you weren't looking. Seriously though, pairing the trackpad is quite simple. I believe you just go into the bluetooth menu from the extras menu and take it from there. in the bluetooth menu, you should see the trackpad listed (remember to press the button on the trackpad first). You'll find an option to connect to it in there somewhere. Sorry I wasn't more specific, but I know you can fill in the blanks. - Original Message - From: Ramy Moustafa To: macvisionaries@googlegroups.com Sent: Thursday, April 18, 2013 5:42 PM Subject: baring the magic track pad Hi all: I have a magic track pad, how can I bair it to my Mac mini?

Re: Capital Letters
lol, So, you feel that this issue would have a meaningful impact on the education of a large number of kids who might be using a Mac? After all, unless they are speaking a language not english of course, they could use Alex where the problem doesn't seem to exist. Keep in mind, 2 years ago, this is what they would have been doing regardless? To be clear, I'm not saying the new voices don't need work. But honestly, I would put that pretty low on the list of accessibility issues I'd like to see addressed. For example, I think accessibility on Safari could be tightened up a bit. I would love to not to be bounced out the html area into the toolbar 50% of the time I click on a link.

Re: Capital Letters
hi Ricardo, sure the mac have come a long way in 2 years. And do i think it is an issue? well i doubt i would waste time pressing keys if i did not think so, about computers, and education, i am a totally clinically and cold girl. If you are living in norway you might have that issue as well. But else yes you are right you can do as the most might have done just used fred and alex for a none-english language, and train your brain too understand that :) I honestly dont care much for what we might have done 2 years ago, it is about 24 months back, it is basically the same going to look at the 2011 peugeot ion, when we indeed write 2013. you give pound-sign 3 for both cars, but i will assure you that the electric car from 2013 is better equipped. I got the most of my sight back and i will absolutely assure you that with out the danish Norwegian and sweetish voices on the mac my education as a nurse would never have been an option. Not with jaws anyways, it would simply have been too costly for me. Jaws, books etc. nope i would not have been able too do it do to the high price-tack on both books, and jaws. im the other fella not rocker fella smiles...
