Re: Downcast on the MAc Busy Problems
Hey Steve, will check out my downloads tomorrow or I guess later today. Have you been able to get iCloud sync to properly sync your episodes between your mac and iPhone?

reading wikipedia efficiently with a braille display
Hi everyone, In most cases i can read webpages just fine with my braille display and safari. Not so with wikipedia however. I was wondering with other peopes experiences are who mostly use braille for reading. I often get text repeated or hear a sound htat i reached the end of the line an dif i move down with the display nothing changes. I can use the item chooser but i often just want to jump to a certain point of the content and then this does not work any more. Furthermore the item chooser is rather inefficient because then you cant tab out of safari and it does not fill the whole braille display with content.

Re: What I think Apple needs to change: was: Re: best way to navigate Mail when Quick Nav is on?
I'm thinking of Garage band and how often you interact and stop interacting over and over again. There are some key strokes but it's still such a time sink. I don't know how it could be done away with fully but better use of interaction by software would certainly make life easier. Have it be more universal across apps both native and third party. Making vo j work in most if not all multi interaction situations. Some times now it's vo j, other times, vo command shift t to switch between tables and other times like in the Sendspace wizard, you have 3 or more levels of interaction and have to move up 2 levels, vo right and then interact in another chain of levels. Arg. I love the mac but this is 1 of those things that makes the experience far sloppier and less consistent and is a major stumbling block on many coming to love using the OS despite its many advantages over windows.

Re: What I think Apple needs to change: was: Re: best way to navigate Mail when Quick Nav is on?
But interaction makes so much more sense. Its basically telling VO, this is what I want to focus on, and not like windows where it reads you every single thing and half the time you have to read it anyway, and with VO you can choose to or not.

Re: Downcast on the MAc Busy Problems
I'm still checking this out. After all the failed downloads and all, I went into the iOS version this morning and it went and downloaded all the same stuff over there so I think the iCloud part may be working OK. I think what I saw in the past when using iPod and iPad was a similar problem where the iCloud feature didn't always pick up stuff that was on a previous device before coming on the scene if that makes any sense. The iCloud feature may only work totally right with current changes; I don't think it is a historian.

Re: reading wikipedia efficiently with a braille display
In the Braille displays tab of the Braille options in vO utility, I assigned a key command to bring up the web rotor. Once i'm in that, i can switch between rotor items with dots 4-space and dots 1-space. In this case, I pick headings and scroll through the various headings on the page with the wheels on my Focus 40, then use the routing cursor to go to one. (I believe this is the VO-down command, incase you need to find out which command on your display does this.) I do this with Facebook a lot, too, Sometimes while simply reading a page, the Braille freezes and won't pan. In most cases like this, a dot-4-space will move to the next element. It is the same as pressing VO-right-arrow. Hth, Teresa On Aug 4, 2013, at 4:17 AM, Anouk Radix wrote: > Hi everyone, In most cases i can read webpages just fine with my braille > display and safari.

Re: Downcast on the MAc Busy Problems
Hey Steve, Yeah I think you might be right as the iCloud feature might only work moving forward once the app is installed on IOS and/or Mac. Thanks for letting me know how it works with you.

Audacity is free and pretty accessible. There is even a mailing list if you get stuck, and the help includes a keyboard reference.

Re: Seeing Eye GPS
It has its merits and its downsides. It really depends on what you want to do with it - it might fit the bill, or a cheaper solution like Blindsquare might work better. How do you plan to use a navigation app, in general? We need more information before we can provide accurate and relevant information.

Re: Seeing Eye GPS
Hi there I would like to give an example. Suppose you were going to do mostly pedestrian work with a GPS. I think the Seeing Eye GPS has a definite advantage in that mode. This is because it will tell you whether a street crossing goes through or not by saying crossing right and left. That way you know the street is not a dead-end street which comes in on the one side.

Re: Seeing Eye GPS
True, but my understanding is that Blindsquare does this as well, plus it runs in the background. So, you open Blindsquare for intersection/POI announcements, find your destination, have it tell Apple Maps or Google maps where you want to go, then follow the mapping app's directions as Blindsquare continues to tell you what's around. Yes, you are now suing two apps, but you have a lot more features in Blindsquare and it is far less money (and not a yearly fee either). I'm not saying the Sendero app does not have its place, but for basic navigation I'm not convinced it is the best option. Unfortunately, you can't try out either app, you must buy up front and hope you didn't waste your money. Blindsquare is $24, and Sendero's app is $70 for one year or $129 for three years.

Re: Seeing Eye GPS
Here is a very basic and probably stupid question, but with blind Square, am I able to enter a destination address and have it take me directly to that address as a pedestrian? Or is it limited to intersections? An app that has very precise pedestrian walking directions would be incredibly Useful for me personally, as anyone who has ever lived in Philadelphia can quickly tell you, the streets here are absolutely crazy.

Re: What I think Apple needs to change: was: Re: best way to navigate Mail when Quick Nav is on?
In my opinion interaction really is very efficiant because it's so logical. But on the other hand it's not obvious to people who are new to this on the Mac when to interact and when not. There are to many different names for things you can interact with: groups, scrol areas, tables sometimes but not on the web with DOM, lists sometimes but not on the web with DOM, toolbars, sidebars, browser etc.. And what makes their confusion even worse is that you actually should interact with for example the browser in a finder window but you don't have to. But if you don't interact some functions are not available like clicking on a file by pressing VO + Spacebar to open it. So I met quite a few beginners who were very unhappy of this inconsistency. I'd rather have hot spots fully functional. With them the more experienced users wouldn't have to worry about interacting or not. Unfortunately they are quite buggy in many ways.

HI. I think after a while you get used to what you need to interact with and not.

Re: Seeing Eye GPS
Hey Matt, Thanks for the info, how much is the second app you use? I guess I am a bit confused as to what these apps do, I would think that a GPS app would be able to give turn by turn directions.

Re: Seeing Eye GPS
Hi Randy. MotionX GPS drive is $0.99, and voice guidance is $10 a year. Blindsquare is not a turn by turn application. So therefore, using both is a great. HTH.

Re: Seeing Eye GPS
Isn't the voice guidance $10 a month not just $10? That would mean $120 per year for turn by turn and the whole set up is not as convenient as having it all in one app, which is what you get with seeing Eye, which ends up being cheaper, if my supposition about cost for Motion X is right.

Re: To the person wanting feedback on Kindle app and braille
I dont know if it's unique to Kindle. In some iBooks, I can get lag when panning. I use a RefreshaBraille 18. I notice that in the Kindle app in particular there is a delay if I make the font size very very smal. I like the size to be small so more text can fit on a page, but I get very frustrated with the delay when trying to read with Braille that way. I either have to turn the font size up to a bigger one, or only listenwith speech.

Hi everyone, Since i have my new laptop and when using utorrent i get this write to disk error: too many open files an awful lot. I have never had this happen before and find it extremely irritating. I have googled and see that tthere are some commands that i can run from terminal but that you then also want to start the program that you want to use from the seem terminal window and if you restart the mac the settings will be void. You can also change some configuration files but i am not htat good with neither terminal nor config files. Is there anyone hwo has a script or something for this that will make this work for the whole system all the time?

With Seeing Eye, I don't seem to have consistent access to POIs. Finding them is inconsistent. However, when I am in Sacramento, rather than my small town of Sutter, Seeing Eye works better. Not sure what this means. I too think one gets better info pedestrian-wise with Seeing Eye. However, I'm not sure it's worth the dollar difference currently. I'm looking forward to the next update. I really like the Seeing Eye interface best. Hoping the map situation gets resolved. Hope this Helps. PJ.

Suppose you were going to do mostly pedestrian work with a GPS. I think the Seeing Eye GPS has a definite advantage in that mode. This is because it will tell you whether a street crossing goes through or not by saying crossing right and left. That way you know the street is not a dead-end street which comes in on the one side.

Re: Downcast on the MAc Busy Problems
It is a fun program to work with and I have seen both via private email and twitter that they plan to put in a fix very soon so hopefully these problems will go away.

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.

Re: To the person wanting feedback on Kindle app and braille
I have also seen this a lot with the NFB newsline reader. I wonder if it has something to do with large buffers of text for the Braille display to pan through.

CMS on Mac
Hi all, I have been ask by several different VO user now. all who are working in a Non profit and community service sector. Are there any CMS )Client Management System) software out there that is accessible on the Mac? These people found that is getting harder to work on their office PC, as they keep changing the CMS on the network, and wish to have some other alternative way to o so on a Mac. If so, they would like to persuade their employer to allowing them to use Mac at work instead. Any help is very much appreciated.
