Re: accessible spotify on os x? or alternative music service on osx

2013-08-03 Thread Chris H
Yup it sucks doesn't it? Would love to use Spotify as a music lover but 
can't due to the stupid accessibility or lack of it thereof on the 
desktop platforms. Can't stand listening to music on the iPhone with its 
built in speakers and don't want to be strapped to wired or have issues 
with wireless headphones. Am hoping to get a bluetooth speaker as a 
Christmas present for myself so may look into Spotify after then.

Sending a group text on the iPhone

2013-08-03 Thread Lisette Wesseling
Hi,
I know how to send the same sms to multiple people, but is it possible to save 
this collection of numbers as  a group in contacts and send a text to that 
group next time. I want to avoid choosing  the same 20 names each time I want 
to send the group text.
I know it's possible from the Mac side using contacts and email, but is 
something like this possible on the iPhone to send sms messages?
Thanks.

Hi,

name in the to field of your message?
Haven't tried that my self but wondered wether it might work.

Re: Accessible FTP software

2013-08-03 Thread Tyler Thompson
I’ve seen a couple posts asking for FTP software. I wanted to chip in my 2 
cents here. So I haven’t ever seen a fully functional FTP client for mac from a 
3rd party developer. Ignoring accessibility issues they tend to be buggy. It 
is, however 100% possible to send files via FTP using your terminal (not sure 
that’s been discussed). Attached is a link with a brief tutorial on how to do 
just that.

Accessible Speed Test?

Does anyone have any idea of an accessible speed test for the Mac? Our Internet 
has slowed down dramatically
 over the last couple of days and I want to run a test to see what we are 
actually getting.

problem reading brf files on mac

2013-08-03 Thread Greg Aikens
Hello all,
It's been a while since I tried to read a brf on my mac using a braille 
display.  I thought that I should be able to open it in text edit and turn off 
braille contractions and be good to go, but for some reason that isn't working 
right.

For some reason VO isn't representing the braille symbols correctly.  Dropped 
symbols, such as the symbol for con or in have a number sign in front of them, 
as if they were the numbers 3 and 9.  It mangles other contractions even worse. 
 As far as I can tell, this is a VO or braille display problem and not just bad 
transcription.  I can't actually navigate to the number sign in front of these 
symbols, which tells me there isn't actually a number sign in the brf file.  I 
tried it with two files, a book from BARD and a practice exam from the National 
Certification in Literary Braille Test.  Both had the same problems.  

I'm running the latest update of mountain lion with VO and a Brailleconnect 32 
bluetooth display.  My braille translation table is just plain english but the 
problem persisted even when I switched to UEB.

Has anyone run into a similar problem?  What settings might I change to fix 
this?

Thanks for any help.

Best,
Greg

Downcast on the MAc Busy Problems

2013-08-03 Thread Brian Fischler
Since I have been having iCloud sync problems with Downcast on the mac I 
decided to delete the app and reinstall it. Don't think this did anything as 
all of my podcasts were still there and the iCloud settings were all checked 
once I reinstalled. Now I am also having another issue as when I click on the 
playlist tab I get stuck in a busy busy loop that doesn't end and I have to 
force quit Downcast but when I restart the app and click on the playlist tab it 
gets stuck in the busy busy again. Any ideas? Thanks.

Re: problem reading brf files on mac

2013-08-03 Thread Teresa Cochran
Hi, Greg,

Go into vO Utility, Braille, layout tab and turn on eight-dot Braille. This 
should fix the problem. This checkbox only appears when contractions are turned 
off. Also, another reason contractions have to be turned off is that the file 
has already been translated. In the case of brf files from NLS, the text is all 
upper-case, so you may want to go to edit/transformations once you highlight 
all the text and make it lower-case.

HtH,
Teresa

braille commands and more

2013-08-03 Thread Cait and Maggie
Hi,
OK, I'm a bit confused now.
I turned on the status cells on my braille sense and don't understand what they 
mean.
Also, is there a command to use with a braille display that's akin to VO j?
Is there someplace I can go to read up on this stuff?
thanks,
Cait

No you cannot upload audio directly to Facebook but you can share links

Re: braille commands and more

Yep!
I'm thinking about turning the darn thing off for the time being.
Just about everything I read is underlined, too-I think this is showing that 
it's highlighted, but it's annoying.  Can I turn this feature off, too?
Since listening to a podcast recently, I've learned that I can do way more 
input from the actual display then I thought I could originally, so am using 
the display more these days.
Any help anybody can give, etc, would be great so I can use this more.

Re: Sending a group text on the iPhone

2013-08-03 Thread Tim Kilburn
Hi,

If you've sent the Group message one time, then when you go into Messages 
another time, and look at your history of sent messages, you'll be able to 
easily send to that same group.  Just double-tap on that message item and 
you'll be be brought to the list of previous messages that were sent between 
the various members and you can double-tap in the edit field to enter a new 
message.  I use this method all the time to send group messages amongst my 
family.  As far as I can tell though, there is no way of creating the group on 
the iPhone itself.

HTH.

Re: Sending a group text on the iPhone

Hi!
As with a few other things! There's an App for that :D
Or maybe a few apps *smile*
I think there was one one sale a little while ago and the free version has 
limit's on how many groups you can make!
Sorry I do not know what they are called!

Copying a Screenshot

2013-08-03 Thread Angus Mackinnon
I created a Screenshot with Command + Shift + 3. I have been interacting 
with the file after finding it. I then did Command + C and went to my SD 
Card using Finder in the Doc. I went to the second column after finding 
my cards name and iteracted. I pressed Command + V to paste and do not 
see the Screenshot file I copied anywhere. What am I doing wrong? Thank 
you for the help.

Re: braille commands and more

2013-08-03 Thread Les Kriegler
I think the purpose of the DOS is the show you where the cursor is. I've 
experimented turning that off as well. However, I find that I like having it on 
because then I know for certain where the cursor is actually located. The other 
option you have is to have a blank. That might be worth trying. And you 
wouldn't see the dots. I think I may have missed dictated. What I'm trying to 
say is the third option is a blinking cursor. I may try that myself.

Les,
How do I get the blinking cursor?
I've just been playing around the braille section of VO help and didn't see 
anything about this?
I'm using a braille sense plus as my display.
If I can get the constant presence of dots 7 and 8 to go away, my reading life 
will vastly improve!
thanks,

Kate,

I have the YouTube, so I don't know if it's the same. And my unit, this option 
is found under global settings. The three options are always out, off, and 
blinking. Hopefully, you have those options on your unit. Good luck.

Oh, so I set that from the sense unit itself!
thanks, I'll try that and see what happens.  I finally got rid of the 
continuous dots 7 and 8 by just turning off the "dots 7 and 8 to indicate

cursor is, like what character, etc, would still be good.

 Just about everything I read is underlined, too-I think this is showing

 Since listening to a podcast recently, I've learned that I can do way more

Re: braille commands and more

2013-08-03 Thread Les Kriegler
Yes, I would rather know where the cursor is it have a turned off completely. I 
do wish they had an option which would allow for all six dots to be displayed 
as the cursor. For me, there was no confusion when that was the case with the 
braille note. In any event, blinking is okay. When you going to global options 
and you find the choice for how you want to cursor displayed, just hit the 
space key to cycle through the options. When you find the one you wish to 
change, Press the enter key and your choice will be saved.

viva client (spotify on os x)

2013-08-03 Thread Anouk Radix
Hi everyone,
Someone tipped me about the viva client on os x, an apparently accessible 
although rather basic spotify client for os x. I downloaded the vivamaster.zip 
but this is just the source code (you can find the client if you google for 
viva spotify then follow th elink on the spotify page that links to the project 
page and then go to the download zip link).
I have no experience whatsoever with compiling sourcecode though and there does 
not seem to be a precompiled binary.
Is there anyone hwo can compile this client so that we can give it a go?

To the person wanting feedback on Kindle app and braille

2013-08-03 Thread Lisette Wesseling
I'mm using Kindle on an iPhone 5 with a Braille Sense OnHand from Hims. There's 
about a two second delay from pressing the panning button to the braille 
actually changing. I don't get this lag on iBooks so is it something unique to 
the Kindle app? Do people experience this sort of lag on other Hims displays?
Thanks.

Re: Downcast on the MAc Busy Problems

2013-08-03 Thread Steve Holmes
I had a lot of problems with that too. I've been in touch with the devs and 
given them numerous logs. I've also had the program crash on me several times 
when attempting to retry multiple downloads from the download pane.

In fact, you might wanna go into the download pane with Command-4 and see 
what's in there. Under ideal conditions, you should have no downloads pending.

I like the program in general but I'm having too many problems with it 
downloading the same files over and over again and leaving a bunch of broken 
downloads in the download pane. I think I'm gonna have to put this one on hold 
until they get a newer version out there. This is proving to be too buggy for 
me.
