Re: Your First Mac App (Voiceover and XCode)

2013-07-06 Thread Yuma Antoine Decaux
Hi Barry,

Just as clarification, when you drag, what state is mouse pointer  on? Do you 
go to the unknown, vo command shift space with mouse following voice over 
cursor, then go to the header file, or do you first toggle cursr tracking off 
before moving from unknown to the header file?


Best regards, and thanks a lot for helping out

Re: Evernote?

2013-07-06 Thread Emilio


Hello everyone,


The primary issue with signing into EverNote is something with which 
sighted help will be needed. The “sign in,” button is not visible with 
voiceover, but once this button is pressed, entering the correct 
credentials will make the program as accessible as it will be.

The primary caveat with EverNote is that when scrolling through a list of 
already crated notes, one must return to the “scroll area” to view the note 
in focus.

In most cases I just upload notes using the iPhone, but I would like to 
start uploading notes from the iMac.

Additionally, it does seem that in my experience when uploading notes the 
title is announced by voiceover, but the contents of the note are an image, 
so this is something to contend with.

I hope my feedback has been helpful.

moreover, I would encourage all of those users thereof to write the 
company, so they can have more feedback and suggestions on how to improve 
with application for voiceover users.


Hope this has been helpful.

Re: accessing DropBox settings V 2.0.22

2013-07-06 Thread Phil Halton
Danny's suggestion of routing mouse to VO while on the dropbox menu and 
pressing option click on trackpad worked for me - it brought up the familiar 
dropbox menu with 9 items, One of which was preferences. I was able to navigate 
that dialog and switch my dropbox folder back to my user account on the main HD.


the other way, routing mouse to VO and pressing VO Shift space for a regular 
mouse click brought up a less useful dialog. It has a link to dropbox.com, a 
choice to open the dropbox folder, and a list of recently changed files. Then 
at the bottom of the dialog there is the word "settings", but it appears to be 
just static text that doesn't open anything like settings.

Hi emilio,

I'm a little confused.  You say that when scrolling through the list of titles 
you have to interact with the scroll area to view the note, which makes sense.  
But then you go on to say that the note is an image.  Does that mean that you 
can't actually read the note?
Thanks,

Re: Evernote?

2013-07-06 Thread Jürgen Fleger
Hello,
I'm not sure about signing in because I signed in a long time ago and it 
remembers this. But the App itself is very accessible. I'm using it quite a 
while now on two Macs and on my iPhone and it works great for me. Of course 
it's always a question of what to do with it but as far as I use it it's 
completely accessible.
What I don't like about it is using the editor of Evernote in iOS. But the sign 
in process might have changed, I don't know.
All the best
Jürgen

Re: What is vo-enter for?

2013-07-06 Thread Jürgen Fleger
Hi,
you can start highlighting text where it's not possible by simply using Shift + 
arrows by pressing VO + Enter and end it the same way. Then you can press CMD + 
c to copy to the clippboard. It worked fine until Lion. Since Lion and also in 
Mountain Lion I experience it as very unreliable. If I highlight text in a pdf 
file for example and copy it to the clippboard mostly it's a different part of 
the text I actually highlighted.
But that's what it's been supposed to be. So press VO + Enter to start 
highlighting, move the cursor by pressing VO + arrows and press VO + Enter to 
end highlighting.

 Hi Tim,

 I did exactly what you instructed me to do, but that also doesn't seem

 work.

 If there's an actual electronic  issue with the keyboard, then
 shouldn't the key appear  damaged/broken/stiff, etc.
 The funny thing is that the option  key is otherwise working perfectly
 normally.

Help Setting a Location Reminder

2013-07-06 Thread Brian Fischler
Hey all,

I have listened to a few podcasts on setting a location reminder, but can't 
seem to do it either through Siri or manually. With Siri, it keeps saying she 
doesn't understand when I say when I arrive at Family Dollar Store, and I have 
put the store into my contacts. Manually there just seems to be an address 
field with no way to enter a contact name. Has anyone done this?

Hi Shawn, 
Unfortunately, this has been the problem for as long as I remember on both the

the webkit engine, but most likely it's the former. 
Anyways, this has been annoying me for quite some time and its about time I let 
apple know about this as well. On Thursday, July 4, 2013 6:27:24 PM UTC-7,

I have a funny feeling that this problem won't come up when they'll

 I guess the problem is with the option key because this gets fixed
 as
 soon as  I press the option key after those weird symbols start
 appearing.
 But nothing seems to be physically  wrong with the  option key. I
 mean, it's not like it's stuck or anything. It's  working
 perfectly
 otherwise.
 So, what should I do?
 This problem is occurring more frequently now  than ever before.
 Furthermore, the web inspector thingy also gets automatically

 from time to time. I have to hide the web inspector in order to
 restore things back to normal.

Odd Problems with Focus 40 Blue in USB Mode; Firmware Update?

2013-07-06 Thread Teresa Cochran
Hi, all,

I'm increasingly having some problems when I charge my Focus 40 and use it with 
my Mac in USB mode. It seems that now, I have to first load the Bluetooth 
display, then switch to USB, otherwise, keystrokes aren't recognized.

This is a lot like the behavior I saw before Firmware Update 4.57 came out. Is 
there now a firmware update from Freedom Scientific?

Thanks,
Teresa

Hey Alex,

Not sure what the issue is with my phone, as I just tried both Remind me to buy 
soap when I get to the Family Dollar, and remind me to buy soap when I leave 
the Family Dollar, and then Siri says ok, when would you like to be reminded. 
It doesn't seem to understand the Family Dollar is a location and in my 
contacts, it seems to think get and leave are part of the reminder. Any ideas?

Re: Any Good Replacement for Newsrack?

2013-07-06 Thread Jonathan Mosen
Feeddler on iOS is supporting 3 cloud-based RSS services and plans to add more. 
I really hope there's a Mac client that will support at least one of the 
services Feeddler does. For me, syncing across devices is important.

 folders and one for articles in the selected folder, then an HTML content 
 area where the article is shown. There are hotkeys for a lot of things, 
 though there could be more, and nothing is unlabeled. There are even 
 keystrokes for next and previous article, so you could probably skip 
 through articles very quickly without leaving the HMTL content. Give it a 
 shot, at least - as I said, it's free, so you have nothing to lose. Thank 
 you, Nektarios, for the great suggestion. I've been looking for an 
 easy-to-use, free RSS reader for the mac for a while, and this one seems 
 to fit the bill beautifully. As I said, I am not just hoping it and Lire 
 will one day sync with the same service so I can keep all my feeds up to 
 date across devices.

Re: Your First Mac App (Voiceover and XCode)

2013-07-06 Thread Barry Hadder
First, just to be clear I never have mouse follows vo turned on in the utility.
Put vo on the unknown and then rout the mouse.  Make sure the mouse is where 
you want it with vo-f5.  If it isn't, some times the splitters can inter fear 
so you might need to try moving them around.  Same thing in the header file.
I lock the mouse with shift-vo-command-space then move vo to the header file.  
I've noticed that starting in Lion, the mouse follows vo when the mouse is 
locked and cursor tracking is on.  I have cursor tracking when I drag to a 
header file.  There are other situations when you will need to turn it off.

Last but not least, XCode can be buggy.  You just have to learn to deal with it 
if you use it.

On Jul 6, 2013, at 2:27 AM, Yuma Antoine Decaux  wrote:

Hi Barry,

Just as clarification, when you drag, what state is mouse pointer  on? Do you 
go to the unknown, vo command shift space with mouse following voice over 
cursor, then go to the header file, or do you first toggle cursor tracking off 
before moving from unknown to the header file?


Best regards, and thanks a lot for helping out

Re: Help Setting a Location Reminder

2013-07-06 Thread Alex Hall
It might not matter, but if your contact is "Family Dollar", don't say "the". 
So, try "remind me to buy soap when I get to Family Dollar". This seems odd at 
first, but it makes sense in many cases - you would not say "when I get to the 
Wal-Mart", for instance.

As I said, I have no idea if it will work better, but give it a shot. Also be 
sure to look at the text Siri transcribes so you are sure every word is being 
interpreted correctly.

Re: Help Setting a Location Reminder

2013-07-06 Thread Brian Fischler
Hey Alex, Yeah I already had tried it with and without the the in my dictation. 
I even deleted the contact for Family Dollar and found all the info again and 
manually entered it as a contact, this time adding the zip code, still it 
doesn't work. Just tried arrive at Family Dollar, Arrive Family Dollar, and 
Siri still says it doesn't understand. Even tried doing this with another store 
down the street, and it didn't work either. Amazingly, I tried setting a 
location reminder for my Mom's which is in another state, and of course that 
worked fine. I have also tried just listing Family Dollar as a store in 
contacts, and then with a First name of Family and last name Dollar so it would 
look like a person and neither works, very frustrating

Re: Any Good Replacement for Newsrack?

2013-07-06 Thread Brian Fischler
Hey Jonathan, I haven't tried it yet, but have heard good things about Read 
Kit. With the demise of Newsrack, I have decided in order for me to buy 
anything, that synching is also important to me. I bought Lire on IOS a month 
ago, and do really like it, but it doesn't seem to sync with anything on the 
desktop, so please do let us know if you discover a good synching across 
platforms. People seem to also like Feed Wrangler, and I have heard that all of 
these are pretty accessible.

Hello Ramy,

There is a tutorial built into the Mac. Press Control-Option-Command-F8 and it 
will start walking you through the basics of how to use your Mac with VoiceOver.

Good luck!

Ramey, there is an extensive help system that you can access by pressing 
Control+Option+H. The first item in that list is the online version of the 
VoiceOver manual. Try Ann's suggestion of using the VoiceOver tutorial

Hello,

That is the control option command f-8 that will start the VO training.
Anytime you accidentally close it out, etc. you can press that command to
have it start again.

Hope this helps!

Re: a piculiar problem getting Vue Scan to sequence file names

The thing is that my file name does not have .tif at the end of it.  I was just 
using that to show what extention I was using.  The file name actually looks 
like this without the quotes:

"Image+"  OF course, the quotes are not there so it really really looks like 
this:

Image+

Go to the app chooser by double tapping the home button. Now 3 finger swipe

Re: Same Page Links In Emails

2013-07-06 Thread BBS
Hi Vick. I haven't been running into the problems you say you're having on your 
iPhone. Last time I read an email on it and clicked a same page link, which was 
last year on iOS5, Voiceover jumped to the thread I wanted to read. The only 
annoying issue I'm having is when I do the 2-finger swipe down to read all, it 
registers the gesture as the three finger swipe left to go back which is not 
what I want to do. I only have two fingers on the iPhone, not three.

My upload speed is measured at about 1MBPS;  but, I'm lucky if Drop Box lets me 
upload faster than about 164KBPS.  That's unacceptible in my book.

Re: Any Good Replacement for Newsrack?

2013-07-06 Thread Nicholas Parsons
Hi,
ReadKit on the Mac is completely accessible, supports syncing with Feed 
Wrangler, FeedBin, and about half a dozen other services. It is very similar to 
NewsRack, even costs about the same. Only criticism I have is that it doesn't 
support feed management with Feed Wrangler from within the app itself. However, 
I'm hopeful this will change in future updates.
One fantastic feature of ReadKit is that it allows you to view articles in 
Readability mode by simply pressing the letter G. This presents you with the 
full text of the article minus all the annoying junk such as links to share 
etcetera. Readability mode is thus a lot like Lire on the iPhone.
There are a number of RSS readers for iOS that can sync with ReadKit using some 
of the services I mentioned earlier such as Feed Wrangler, FeedBin, Feva, 
etcetera. Personally I'm using Feed Wrangler on the iPhone, which is accessible 
and free. I've heard Mr Reader for iPad is also highly accessible and easy to 
use.

ReadKit

2013-07-06 Thread Nicholas Parsons
HI,

I'm using ReadKit on the Mac. When I use the down arrow to navigate down the 
list of articles in a smart folder or feed, VoiceOver begins reading the title 
of the article and then, after a second or so, cuts itself off and starts 
reading the title again from the beginning.

This is a little annoying. Does anyone know why this might be and if there is a 
way to fix it?

Also, I'd love to set up shortcut keystrokes for sharing to Facebook or 
Twitter, and for marking all as read. Does anyone know how I might do this? So 
far as I know these options don't appear in the menu bar so I don't think I 
could use the normal shortcut key options in system preferences.

Cheers,
Nic

Creating M4B Audiobooks

2013-07-06 Thread Nicholas Parsons
Hi list,

Esther gave me a lot of info on this list a while back about sample rates, bit 
rates and creating M4B audiobooks with apps like AudiobookBinder and 
AudiobookBuilder. I've searched for this thread in Mail and on Google but can't 
find it. So sorry for asking for old info.

What's the significance of the sample rate and bit rate when I'm creating M4B 
audiobooks, particularly their effect on the maximum length of one file? And do 
you have any tips for how I could know whether I'll be able to bind all files 
into one audiobook or whether I'll need to create multiple audiobooks?
