Re: Dragging and Dropping a mailbox to Favorites

2013-05-20 Thread Nicholas Parsons 
Hi Jürgen,

Okay, so maybe there's nothing to be done about it. That would be strange and 
unfortunate though.

I won't waste your time with trying things you've already done, but one last 
idea – could it have anything to do with the view you're using in Mail? E.g. 
classic versus modern view? Whether the message pane is open or collapsed, 
etcetera?

Best,

Nic

Hi there Mike and others,

I find the new way Skype handles chat much more convenient to use. Have not 
encountered any links as of yet, but will attempt to test soon.

Re: Dragging and Dropping a mailbox to Favorites

2013-05-20 Thread Donna Goodin 
Hi Jurgen,

I just tried to drag and drop a mailbox, and got the same message, "Mailbox is 
not drag able, may be hidden."  I arrowed over to the messages table and opened 
one of the messages, then went back to the mailbox and tried again, and that 
time it worked, using VO-Comma and VO-Period.

Just something to try.
Best,
Donna.

don't know if the same can be done on Mac. Any thoughts or help on this would

Re: deleting mailbox from favorites bar

2013-05-20 Thread Jürgen Fleger 
Hi Donna,

at first: thanks for your suggestion for dragging a mailbox. I'll try it out 
and let you know what happens.

You can move or even remove a mailbox in the favoritesbar by drag and drop. 
When I used the feature in Lion most of the time it worked that way. To remove 
a mailbox completely just drag it from the favoritesbar to the mailbox table.

All the best
Jürgen

Hi Nic,

oh, please feel free to give me more ideas what to do to solve the issue. 

I tried your suggestions to change the view to the modern view. I actually 
prefere to use classic layout but just for this it was worth a try. 
Unfortunately it didn't work. 

My hope is Apple will develop VO further so that everyone can use all the 
features.

Sound on sound recording on garageband

2013-05-20 Thread Sauro Cesaretti 
Hi all,

I tried to use garageband to record some melodies that I'd like to print for 
sax and flute players of our group.
for this reason, I'd like to use sound on sound recording instead of overwrite 
when I record.
Do you know if it is possible?
should I change some settings on preferences to do so?
Thanks so much in advance
regards,Sauro

I'd like to ask if someone tried it already and could give me some indications

Re: maximizing windows on the Mac

2013-05-20 Thread Teresa Cochran 
You can use full-screen with command-control F for the native apps. Also, you 
can go to the Window menu and choose zoom or press the button at the top of the 
window.. I'm not quite sure what zooming does, but I'm told that it doesn't 
maximize the window the way Windows does. The window isn't as big as a 
maximized window.

Voice Dream Reader on sale for $4.99 today (May 20, 2013)

2013-05-20 Thread Esther 
Hi All,

Voice Dream Reader - Text to Speech has gone on sale today for $4.99 for a 
limited time, down from the regular list price of $9.99.  This is an excellent 
iOS app for reading a variety of document formats (Office, Pages, etc.), eBooks 
without DRM (including Bookshare books), PDFs, etc. with high-quality Acapela 
voices. The basic app comes with the Heather voice, and you can purchase 
additional voices, including those for other languages, for $1.99 - $2.99 each 
through in-app purchase.  Your settings for voice reading rate, language, 
position and bookmarks in each document or book are remembered. The app is 
frequently updated, and the developer is very responsive to new feature 
requests and supporting VoiceOver.  If you have been waiting for this app to go 
on sale, now is the ti

There's also a free, lite version if the app that you can try out first.

Here's the App Store URL link to Voice Dream Reader: 
• Voice Dream Reader - Text to Speech (on sale for $4.99, usually $9.99) 
https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/voice-dream-reader-text-to/id496177674?mt=8
This is the URL for the free, lite version for trial purposes:
• Voice Dream Reader Lite - Text to Speech (free) by Voice Dream LLC
https://itunes.apple.com/app/voice-dream-reader-lite-text/id563971853?mt=8

I'll also paste in the links for the AppleVis entries: 
• The App description entry URL is: 
http://www.applevis.com/apps/ios/education/voice-dream-reader-text-speech
• The AppleVis podcast entry is: 
http://www.applevis.com/podcast/episodes/walk-through-voice-dream-text-speech

I'm sending this to both the viphone and macvisionaries list.  This app has 
been extensively discussed on both lists, but you can also read a recent 
archived macvisionaries list post I wrote recommending it.  And for people who 
read in languages other than English, this app reads accented characters in 
PDFs correctly, although that's not one of the points I mentioned in my 
recommendation.

Re: maximizing windows on the Mac

2013-05-20 Thread Chris Gilland 
Yeah, I do it all the time.  Go to your menu bar, then to the window menu. 
See if there is an option in there that says Zoom.  If so, activate this 
menu option, and that should do the trick.  If it doesn't, let me know as 
there is another way you manually can do it, but it's ever so slightly more 
involved.  I'll write out the steps if necessary, but let's first see if 
that does what you need it to.

Re: maximizing windows on the Mac

2013-05-20 Thread Chris Gilland 
Hitting the zoom button just depends.  Usually, it does! actually make it 
the full maximized size.  If it doesn't though, as I said, there is another 
way to do it which will pretty much guarantee it to be the full maximized 
size, but I don't like resorting to that option unless necessary, as 
sometimes it can! visually make things look really stretched and a bit 
distorted.

Ideas for games?

2013-05-20 Thread Michael Babcock 
Ladies and gentlemen,
I am proud to announce that I have currently hired a team of application 
developers to create the next accessible great game! Now is your opportunity to 
have your own input, and help create one of the new, and exciting games for the 
blind, visually impaired, and sided communities alike!
I understand that there are presently audio games out there, and they work 
fairly nicely! However, I am looking to create a application that as I stated 
the blind, visually impaired, and siding can all participate in and enjoy at 
the same time!
Could you guys please throw around a few ideas for games that you one of mine 
playing on your mobile device?
I really think that this is a market that needs to be explored more!
And, there is potential for the application to make it to the desktop platform 
as well!
Please, any ideas that are excepted, will be included with the individuals name 
who originally brings it up as for crediting in the application.
Michael, excited

Hey all, so I just installed Skype and figured I would give it a try, I got 
logged in through Facebook, and now am getting a bunch of busy busy messages. 
Has anyone done a podcast or anything like that to getting started with Skype 
and Voiceover. I have played around with Skype a little before but got 
frustrated with it, and just gave up, as I am not sure how often I would use 
it. Would like to learn how to, as I think you can send messages to your 
Facebook contacts through it. Thanks

Re: Ideas for games?

2013-05-20 Thread Patrick Neazer 
Hello Michael:

While I am not necessarily looking for recognition or credit, I will actually 
drop two cents into the hat hear :).

I used to play nentendo sports games when I was a teenager. I am totally blind 
and could compete rather well playing both their version of baseball and double 
dribble, their basketball game … I just showed my age :). 

Making an accessible sports game might be worth exploring. I would buy it.

Take good care and I wish you enough.

Re: interesting observation with the newest skype

2013-05-20 Thread Brian Fischler 
Hey all,

Wow, it blows me away sometimes at the problems I have with Voiceover. I keep 
getting stuck in busy mode with Skype and having to force quit the program as 
it is not responding. Not sure how everyone else is able to use Skype, as I 
think this is why I gave up on Skype the last time, and since then I have done 
a complete reinstall of Mountain Lion and every other program works fine, so 
not sure what I am doing wrong with Skype. Would love to hear any advice. Thanks

Re: Ideas for games?

Hello Teresa and all:

For the purposes of satisfying the moderators, I need to say something like … 
yes, I would support hockey as well. I used to play the Intelevision version of 
hockey and it worked quite well. 

The true agenda of this email is to provide a forum to say … even though they 
are down 2 games to none … go rangers :).

Could not resist :).

Take good care and I wish you enough.

Re: Ideas for games?

As a big sports fan, and someone who could once see, I really miss all the 
baseball strategy games. Not sure why none of these games like Strat-o-Matic 
where you can use any player from any team isn't accessible, as this is a dice 
based game, and not a graphics game. There should be a fantasy like baseball 
game that is strategy based that should be made accessible. Thanks for the 
reminder of the Nintendo Games, wow did I love Baseball Stars.

Re: Ideas for games?

Hi,
There are lots of holes in the gaming market needing to be filled. How about an 
accessible pinball game that's so like ordinary pinball as you can get? or a 
slot machine, yes i know there's accessible fruit machine, but there should be 
others as well. Sports games like boxing, hockey, football (both american and 
european) and so forth? Rpg games?
Well there's my 2 cents in this subject.

voiceover's resize window command, and tell it to resize to the entire screen.

Original message:

Yeah, I do it all the time.  Go to your menu bar, then to the window menu.
See if there is an option in there that says Zoom.  If so, activate this
menu option, and that should do the trick.  If it doesn't, let me know as
there is another way you manually can do it, but it's ever so slightly more
involved.  I'll write out the steps if necessary, but let's first see if
that does what you need it to.

Subject: maximizing windows on the Mac




Hi listers. I wonder if there's any way to maximize windows, whether they
be application or document windows. I know there are ways to do this on a
pc, but don't know if the same can be done on Mac. Any thoughts or help on
this would be most appreciated.

 Okay, so maybe there's nothing to be done about it. That would be strange 
 and unfortunate though.
 
 I won't waste your time with trying things you've already done, but one 
 last idea – could it have anything to do with the view you're using in 
 Mail? E.g. classic versus modern view? Whether the message pane is open or 
 collapsed, etcetera?
 
 Best,

I used to play nentendo sports games when I was a teenager. I am totally blind

Making an accessible sports game might be worth exploring. I would buy it.

Re: interesting observation with the newest skype

Hi, brian,

Skype is working beautifully on my Mac Mini 2009 running Mountain Lion, and it 
is completely accessible. I get very brief "busy" messages when trying to 
access the home screen, but these go away within seconds. You might try a Skype

Re: Ideas for games?

2013-05-20 Thread Søren Jensen 
Hi Michael.

Sounds really great.
If you are thinking about multiplayer games, a pack of sports games would be 
really awesome. 
If you are thinking about single player games, Angry birds would be amazing. 
I'm not sure about what those games are about, but they must be very addicting. 
:)
If you haven't already done so, I'll highly recommend you to send the same 
message on the audio games forum at:
www.audiogames.net
There are many people who are really great when it comes to giving great 
feedback.
I look very much forward to hear more about this project.
Best regards:

I would definitely buy an RPG game that is actually based on true
fantasy like LOTR or DND.

Re: interesting observation with the newest skype

Hi again,

I did some testing on links, and have to say it is a pain in the rear, but they 
can be managed. Still need to figure the best way to consistently open them.

If anyone has any ideas, please let me know.

Re: Ideas for games?

hi there,

Something I have not found as of yet, is an accessible poker game.  .

I know this is not a big deal to most, but there are quite a few card junkies 
out there. I have to admit that I am one of them.

There used to be an online accessible poker game.  I can't remember
the name off hand.  But it used flash and was designed accessibly.

Re: interesting observation with the newest skype

2013-05-20 Thread Maria & Joe Chapman 
Hi.

I am not having any issues with skype either.

Just logged in to see if there was a problem.  I got busy when skype was trying 
to load contacts etc but after that it was fine.

Re: interesting observation with the newest skype

2013-05-20 Thread Brian Fischler 
Not sure what I could be doing wrong, as I just got the busy again and Skype 
isn't responding yet again. Also the few times I was able to send a message to 
a friend on Facebook they didn't get it yet it appears in history. I even tried 
doing the test call, hit return on it and nothing yet it also appears in 
history. Clicking VO sift m on a contact name completely freezes everything up. 
Can someone else try that command and let me know if it freezes up on them and 
they have to force quit Skype to start using it again. Thanks

Macros are not used in Numbers, nor even in Excel for the Mac. So, no, your

Chess clock, was, Re: Excell macros in numbers

2013-05-20 Thread Brandt 
Hi there,

What this macro does actually would be better served with an external 
application.

It is basically a chess clock. I am involved in two chess email lists that play 
tournaments over skype. A chess clock is required to time games, but Braille 
clocks are very rare and ungodly expensive when you can find one.

Does anyone know of a chess clock application that is accessible? I have seen a 
few, though none of them is accessible.

Warm regards,

Brandt Steenkamp

Re: Chess clock, was, Re: Excell macros in numbers

2013-05-20 Thread Alex Hall 
I don't know what a chess clock is compared to a normal clock, but why not 
simply check the time? If all you are after is a simple clock, would a talking 
one not work just as well, whether built into the Mac or otherwise? What about 
a simple stopwatch app (the one on iOS is great if you have an iOS device)? I'm 
not trying to be rude at all, I just don't quite understand what you're getting 
at. Also, a braille watch will run you $40 to $50 if analog timekeeping is 
important for this application. If you can explain more exactly what you are 
looking to do, maybe I, or someone else, can help more.

Hi Michael.

Sounds really great.
If you are thinking about multiplayer games, a pack of sports games would be 
really awesome.
If you are thinking about single player games, Angry birds would be amazing. 
I'm not sure about what those games are about, but they must be very addicting. 
:)
If you haven't already done so, I'll highly recommend you to send the same 
message on the audio games forum at:
www.audiogames.net
There are many people who are really great when it comes to giving great 
feedback.
I look very much forward to hear more about this project.

Please, any ideas that are excepted, will be included with the individuals name

Re: Chess clock, was, Re: Excell macros in numbers

2013-05-20 Thread Chris Blouch 
I'm not a chess player but I thought a chess clock has two countdown 
timers and two buttons. Each player gets the same amount of time to make 
their moves. So once you move your piece you hit the button and the 
other player's timer starts counting down. When they finish moving they 
hit their button and your timer starts counting down. So you can loose 
the chess match by either checkmate of their King or by running out of 
time, so you want to be able to flip on your opponents countdown timer 
as quick as possible.


For a spreadsheet-based one, how was this done? does each player just 
hit the space bar to start the other clock ticking down?


As far as scripting Numbers, it uses AppleScript just like other Mac 
apps. Here is one discussion on making a countdown timer using Numbers 
an AppleScript:


https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3248427?start=0&tstart=0

For me, since I know HTML and Javascript I would rather do it that way 
but I guess it should be possible in Numbers.

Hi there,

What this macro does actually would be better served with an external

It is basically a chess clock. I am involved in two chess email lists 
that play tournaments over skype. A chess clock is required to time 
games, but Braille clocks are very rare and ungodly expensive when 
you can find one.


Does anyone know of a chess clock application that is accessible? I 
have seen a few, though none of them is accessible.

Re: Chess clock, was, Re: Excell macros in numbers

2013-05-20 Thread Alex Hall 
It seems like this is something Automator or Applescript could do on its own, 
with the advantage that you could assign a hotkey to the script so you would 
not have to leave the email or chess application. Again, more details from the 
OP on how exactly this works and is being used would help.

VMWare Fusion questions

2013-05-20 Thread Alex Hall 
Hi all,
I'm thinking of using VMWare Fusion on my business Macbook instead of Bootcamp. 
Before I do, though, some questions:
1. I have a Windows 7 ISO. Can I use that? Is there a way to pay Microsoft for 
a valid user license without paying for the actual disk, since I don't need it 
(this is on an Air, so there's no disk drive anyway)?
2. How many computers can I run Fusion on? If I get it for the Air, could I use 
it on my personal Mini as well?
3. Are there any accessibility things I need to know, whether during setup, 
Windows "installation", or running common screen readers and other programs in 
the VM? I realize the Windows installation process will likely not be 
accessible.
4. This is on a 64-gb Air with no music or apps yet. How big should I make the 
virtual machine to leave OSX enough room?
Thanks in advance.


Have a great day,
Alex (msg sent from Mac Mini)

question, however, regarding your first two, I don't think that you 
can do either without a jailbreak, which I dont' wish to do on my 
phone. I did it for a short period of time, and though it did give me 
some cool functionality, I didn't get enough more to justify it, and 
frankly, I as expected, had nothing but problems afterward... why do 
you think Apple doesn't recommed you doing it? Not wanting to get into 
a debated hot philosophical discussion on that topic, but it's my two 
cents worth... and I understand my opinion is just one of many people, 
so don't chop off my nuts for voicing it. Each is to his or her own.


Chris.

Subject: Two questions related to iPhone 5



Hello all. Hope you all having a good weekend.

First, on my iPhone 5, how do I rename a photo once I have saved it 
to the camera roll or photo stream? I can't figure this out.


As corollary, how would I set a timer, so that I may place to camera 
at a certain distance, and have time to set up the shot before the 
photo was taken?


My next question concerns Sprint TV. Has anyone tried it, and is it 
accessible?


Have a great weekend. Thanks again.

Re: VMWare Fusion questions

2013-05-20 Thread Chris Blouch 
On #4, you can set the virtual drive quite large as it will only expand 
to what it actually needs. I typically set it to 40GB. Generally the 
virtual disk will expand as needed but won't shrink back down when you 
delete stuff. For that you'll want to run the VMWare tools and get it to 
shrink your virtual disk back down.


On #2, for personal use you one need one license foe all the Macs you own:

Hi all,
I'm thinking of using VMWare Fusion on my business Macbook instead of Bootcamp. 
Before I do, though, some questions:
1. I have a Windows 7 ISO. Can I use that? Is there a way to pay Microsoft for 
a valid user license without paying for the actual disk, since I don't need it 
(this is on an Air, so there's no disk drive anyway)?
2. How many computers can I run Fusion on? If I get it for the Air, could I use 
it on my personal Mini as well?
3. Are there any accessibility things I need to know, whether during setup, Windows 
"installation", or running common screen readers and other programs in the VM? 
I realize the Windows installation process will likely not be accessible.
4. This is on a 64-gb Air with no music or apps yet. How big should I make the 
virtual machine to leave OSX enough room?
Thanks in advance.

Re: Root User Issue

2013-05-20 Thread Chris Blouch 
In a similar vein, the few times I ever needed root access was in the 
terminal app to run certain commands. I never needed to log into the 
system as root. Would be interesting to know what you want to do.

1.  In the first place, aside what you say to appreciate the

2.  Summarize for me the process that you took to enable the root

that could explain why Voiceover isn't working.

Although one can accomplish most anything that is truly necessary
on the
Mac as an administrative user, in order to fully appreciate the
difference between an administrative user and a root user, I have
enabled the root user. Unfortunately, when I log in as the root
user, I
cannot turn VoiceOver on with command f5 as I might expect. When
I issue
this command, I continue to have a silent computer.
Any ideas as to what might be causing this problem would be greatly
appreciated.

Re: using keyboard

From what I could find, some USB keyboards can be connected through 
Apple's camera connection kit which includes a 30-pin to USB adapter:

other stuff.

Text Adventure Games on OSX

2013-05-20 Thread Harry Hogue 
Hello,

Is anyone familiar with how to play text adventure games on OSX under Mountain 
Lion?  I am interested in the Desktop platform rather than the mobile side of 
things, but either would work.

I looked on ifarchive.org and it looks like the interpreters are for much older 
versions of the Mac, like 10.3 and earlier.  I like text adventures and would 
like to check them out again.

Thanks,

Harry

the spare cash for that at the moment.
I want to be able to play music through our sound system and not hear Vo.
Thanks for any advice.
Max.

Re: interesting observation with the newest skype

Thanks for confirming that you are getting the busy busy when trying to VO to a 
menu. I hate to say it but I'm glad I'm not the only one. Gave up playing with 
Skype for the day, as what I would have thought took a fe minutes turned into 
hours.

 Hey all,
 
 Wow, it blows me away sometimes at the problems I have with Voiceover. I 
 keep getting stuck in busy mode with Skype and having to force quit the 
 program as it is not responding. Not sure how everyone else is able to use 
 Skype, as I think this is why I gave up on Skype the last time, and since 
 then I have done a complete reinstall of Mountain Lion and every other 
 program works fine, so not sure what I am doing wrong with Skype. Would 
 love to hear any advice. Thanks

Re: iPhone as a synth

2013-05-20 Thread Devin Prater 
I very much doubt you could do something like that. Oh , wait, you want to use 
the iPhone as a soundcard? You can try WebCamera, an app that lets you do video 
and sound, routing the sound from computer to iPhone and I believe it can do 
the other way around too. But using it as a speech synthesizer I don't think 
you can do. I don't think the mac even supports any hardware speech 
synthesizers.

Hi,

This depends.  Are you using iTunes to play music?  If so, you can use Apple's 
remote app to control iTunes from your IOS device.

Re: VMWare Fusion questions

Alex,
Setting up the vm is accessible.  I think as long as you have the key you can 
put it on three machines.  My vm is 40 gigs, but all I'm using my windows

I don't need a big one.
Hope somebody else can answer the other questions you have.

Re: iPhone as a synth

2013-05-20 Thread Chris Gilland 
I don't think that's possible, however, maybe there is an app that'll do it. 
I'd almost bet you'd have to jailbreak though in order for it to work.  Man 
would that be cool though if it could be done.

Hello all,
is there anyway I can use my iPhone5 as an external speech synthesiser for 
my iMac? I know i can use a usb sound card and rout VO through it but I 
don't have the spare cash for that at the moment.

I want to be able to play music through our sound system and not hear Vo.
Thanks for any advice.
Max.

Re: iPhone as a synth

2013-05-20 Thread Chris Gilland 
Yeah, but I'm the same way as the other person that posted initially, I 
don't want to just switch the voice, that kind of defeats what we're trying 
to do.  If it was that easy, we'd a already done it.  I have Samantha 
already installed, but would love to find a way to avoid software speech.

Re: Ideas for games?

2013-05-20 Thread Nicholas Parsons 
1. Texas Hold'em Poker. This should be relatively easy to develop, could be 
completely accessible to both blind and sighted, could be multiplayer and 
absolutely brilliant. AllInPlay is a fantastic platform but unfortunately 
non-existant on the Mac or iOS. 

2. Monopoly. There are some great Monopoly games on iOS which are really 
fantastic, but fantastically inaccessible. RSS Games on the Mac is great, but 
it's not playable by sighted people and doesn't exist on iOS.

3. I would love some kind of strategy game, whether turn based or real time. 
Something with pikemen, archers, and knights, castles, keeps and catapults and 
the like. This would be my favourite by far, but I think it would be difficult 
to develop. SoundRTS is an example on Mac/Windows, but I don't think it would 
work on iOS. Aegis is a text-based browser-based game, as is KingsSword, so 
they might be a better model.

MBP Drive issues.

2013-05-20 Thread Danny Noonan 
My 2011 MBP has been taking longer and longer to boot up so on Saturday I 
booted to safe mode and opened disk utilities and did the tried and true repare 
disk permissions and repare disk. There were lots of disk permission errors 
that seemed to rep are properly but when it had all finished, I did a check 
disk to find it needed to be repaired. Half way through the repair process, 
VoiceOver totally crashed. My daughter told me when it finished and exited 
utilities and restarted the system. It loaded once, voiceover didn't work at 
all and then on restarting once more, I got the mac version of the blue screen 
of death. 

Luckily I have a carbon copy clone bootable backup and a time machine backup 
but what ever damage was going on with the internal drive, the ccc bootable 
works to a point but I won't be able to copy it back onto the internal as it's 
not totally stable. With this in mind, I'm going to live off the ccc bootable 
and format and reinstall ml on the internal.

Any tips on where to start? Can I reinstall all my emails back into apple mail 
once I reinstall? Mail was crashing so I wonder if the files are even intact.

Anyway, any start points would be greatly appreciated as I've never done any of 
this before and although I can live with having to totally fresh install and 
set up my system, things like importing mail, finding the gigs and gigs of 
samples etc that I have from MainStage and installing them in gb etc would make 
life and my monthly ISP limit so much easier.

Thanks in advance.

 Danny.

Re: Ideas for games?

2013-05-20 Thread Jessica Moss 
I like the Texas Holdem idea as well, and maybe some more card games like Uno, 
more solitare games, especially something like Spider solitare,, different 
types of word games where you don't have to have an internet connection in 
order to play them, but can if you choose to, if you feel that playing against 
your friends is a must, and I was hoping, either for the Mac, or IOS, probably 
would be easier for the Mac, something similar to the Wild West table, that the 
ESP pinball table offered, sense that's something I've missed for years, and 
the silver Dollar game doesn't quite cut it yet.
