Re: Apple App Store & Refunds for inaccessible Apps
If it's mandatory for some apps to be accessible, but not others, who will determine which are to be accessible and which not? And if you talk about feasibility, doesn't that start to become a little like inaccessible apps don't need to be accessible, but accessible apps must be accessible? Who is going to determine feasibility? I'm sure many developers would argue about this. Amazon et al would of course argue that e-readers would fall into that category of not feasible for blind people; they're designed for people who have eyes to see the written words on the page. We, of course, believe this to be rubbish. It would take too much time and effort to mediate all the disputes; I don't think Apple would ever take such an approach. Something should be done, yes, but it must be straight forward to implement. I think some kind of information in the app store about whether the app is built with Apple's UI elements or with custom UI elements could be useful and feasible. This could be misleading though as the custom UI elements may nevertheless be accessible. I agree, however, that Apple could be stricter on ensuring apps at least had properly labeled buttons and alt text. This would not necessarily make apps accessible, but it would be an improvement. I"m a little unsure about the accessibility rating system. There's the problems that Alex mentioned, and then there's also the issue that an app might become accessible in a new update but no one will test it because the rating says it's inaccessible, but I suppose this hasn't become a problem with AppleVis. Anyway, we probably don't need a separate rating system for this anyway as we could just make accessibility comments in the ordinary reviews section. Indeed, I believe one of the best things is for more of us to leave reviews with accessibility comments, both in the app store and on AppleVis. I must confess, however, that I don't do much of this myself as I find the process a little cumbersome and time consuming. This is both for AppleVis and the app stores. I've been meaning to go through my vast collection of apps and rate them all on AppleVis one day, but I never get around to it. I've been wishing of late for an app which would help me rate my apps. Ever since using iOS I've had less patients for websites; preferring instead the clean interface of mobile or desktop apps. One which would list all my apps and let me rate them for accessibility would be great. Sigh. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "MacVisionaries" group.

Re: Any dashboard fans?
Hi, I guess my ease of use is because of the way I have Voiceover/my Mac set up. Just pressing F12 opens dashboard so, no need to go to the dock or applications folder. I also already have a keyboard commander shortcut to bring up the application chooser so, no need to press VO F2 twice to switch widgets. Plus, dashboard opens to the last widget you were using so, I find myself rarely needing to switch. hth Ricardo Walker rica...@appletothecore.info Twitter:@apple2thecore www.appletothecore.info On Sep 12, 2013, at 9:58 PM, Alex Hall wrote: > I've never gotten into it.

I did click on the link, and it definitely looks interesting. I would like to be able to test it's accuracy and responsiveness before I spent that kind of money.

Re: An interesting technology!
Yeah, no kidding. The other thing is, I am always skeptical when I hear claims that sound too good to be true. There's got to be a limit somewhere. Now I know I am one of these people that tend to be skeptical at first. I mean, it took me a while to get on board with the iPhone. But I have spent a great deal of money on something that I got excited about, only to find out later that it didn't do anything like what I was lead to believe it did. I mean I would rather ask a computer any day the questions I want to know because they answer what I want them to answer instead of what people want to tell. Myself, I don't really need, really, a computer to identify my family members. That's one of the things mentioned, and I think that's going a little too far. I want a computer to enhance my blindness skills and not replace them.

Re: .avi jfiles to itunes format?
I was able to check one using QuicktimePlayer 7. I opened the file and then did command-I which brings up the movie inspector. The third line down was Format and the file I was playing with said 'IV41', 256 × 240, Millions. All that said, I ended up just running the file through the default settings of Handbrake and got a nice playable mp4 file.

Lol, I'm getting the feeling that many VoiceOver users aren't using Dashboard. I heard a podcast once from David Woodbridge, good podcast, but it didn't draw me to Dashboard. I do like the weather & conversion widgets though Ricardo, I went to the library/widgets but I only saw 1 widget there. Are the default widgets somewhere else?

Re: An interesting technology!
So I took a poke through the web site and what it seems to be is a little camera you clip onto the side of a pair of glasses which also has a bone-conduction audio thingy that goes against your cheek. It then is tethered to a small box which has a computer in it. What it claims to do is recognize a pointing gesture and the camera will read the text where you are pointing. Examples are pointing to the label on a bottle or a line of text in a book. They also claim to recognize things in the environment like the color of a crosswalk sign or faces of people you have trained it on. To train it you wave your hand in front of the camera and then give it a description. They say they made 100 units @ $2500 each and sold out. They expect another 500 to be ready and sold by the end of the year. All the reviews I could find seemed to be people excited about what this 'should' do but none of them seemed to actually have used the device. It's a ways out but I would expect them to make a showing at CSUN next March so folks can really try it. Could be amazing, could be snake oil.

Re: Apple App Store & Refunds for inaccessible Apps
The usual problem with accessibility seem to fall in two buckets. First is the developer uses standard controls which are accessible but forget to label a button or leave out other tidbits of state/value information which would make the control usable. The second bucket is that they made custom controls which are either invisible or can't be controlled at all by voiceover. So this is where it gets tricky. An app with a few buttons lacking labels can be difficult, but it is usable. I can even add my own labels to patch up things where the developer messed up. The impact of issues in the second bucket depends on what the feature is. Hence the rating system which, as a fallible human creation, will not be a perfect scoring system, just like any other review. Still, it would be better than nothing.

And if you talk about feasibility, doesn't that start to become a little like inaccessible apps don't need to be accessible, but accessible apps must be accessible? Who is going to determine feasibility? I'm sure many developers would argue about this. Amazon et al would of course argue that e-readers would fall into that category of not feasible for blind people; they're designed for people who have eyes to see the written words on the page. We, of course, believe this to be rubbish. It would take too much time and effort to mediate all the disputes; I don't think Apple would ever take such an approach. Something should be done, yes, but it must be straight forward to implement. I think some kind of information in the app store about whether the app is built with Apple's UI elements or with custom UI elements could be useful and feasible. This could be misleading though as the custom UI elements may nevertheless be accessible. I agree, however, that Apple could be stricter on ensuring apps at least had properly labeled buttons and alt text. This would not necessarily make apps accessible, but it would be an improvement. I"m a little unsure about the accessibility rating system. There's the problems that Alex mentioned, and then there's also the issue that an app might become accessible in a new update but no one will test it because the rating says it's inaccessible, but I suppose this hasn't become a problem with AppleVis. Anyway, we probably don't need a separate rating system for this anyway as we could just make accessibility comments in the ordinary reviews section. Indeed, I believe one of the best things is for more of us to leave reviews with accessibility comments, both in the app store and on AppleVis. I must confess, however, that I don't do much of this myself as I find the process a little cumbersome and time consuming. This is both for AppleVis and the app stores. I've been meaning to go through my vast collection of apps and rate them all on AppleVis one day, but I never get around to it. I've been wishing of late for an app which would help me rate my apps. Ever since using iOS I've had less patients for websites; preferring instead the clean interface of mobile or desktop apps. One which would list all my apps and let me rate them for accessibility would be great. Sigh. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "MacVisionaries" group.

Re: .avi jfiles to itunes format?
Good luck getting an avi file to play whatsoever, unless unless you have a 3rd-party app like vlc, unless someone knows something I don't. I ended up having to get it when I downloaded a boatload of files that I found out were in avi format, and quicktime wouldn't play them, then did a google search that led me to an article that pretty much stated that you'd need a 3rd-party app like vlc in order to play them, if I remember correctly. There was a lot more to it, but it was so over my head that I unfortunately couldn't even begin to explain it. On Sep 13, 2013, at 10:26 AM, Chris Blouch wrote: > AVI is a container like quicktime.

Re: Apple App Store & Refunds for inaccessible Apps
Also, if you really want an app that lists all the accessible apps, or at least most of them, a friend recommended the "via," app that Braille institute created, which I personally love, and use on a pretty regular basis, so that should at least be some help to those who don't already know about it. I personally find it a lot easier than just browsing the app store, and just take a gamble at whether or not an app is accessible before you spend money on it, sense with the Via app, you can find the description/reviews on the app, so it's all bundled together.

Re: Learning ally & VoiceOver-MAC
Yes, you need to download the Learning Ally Audio book manager to do this. When you run it, it syncs with the LA website and your bookshelf and gives you the option of downloading anything on your bookshelf. You will also need the Learning Ally read here app to play the books on your mac. Both of these apps are available from the learning ally website. The process can be a little cumbersome, but it is definitely doable. Good luck. Let us know if you have more questions. -Greg Greg Aikens, M. Ed.
