Re: Convert tect to table in new pages

2013-12-20 Thread Anne Robertson
Hello Daniela,

The Convert text to table feature has gone from the new Pages. However, you can 
create your table by copying it to the clipboard, then opening a Pages document 
and inserting a table. You then select all the cells in that table by 
interacting with it and doing Cmd-a. You then paste your table that you put on 
the clipboard into your Pages table.

I only tested this with a tiny table created in TextEdit with tabs separating 
the columns and new line characters separating the rows.

Cheers,

Anne

Re: tabs and pages

2013-12-20 Thread Anne Robertson
Hello Jim,

When you say you want your text to be right aligned, do you mean that you want 
your text on the right-hand side of the page, or for the right-hand edge of the 
text to be aligned?

To align the text down the right-hand margin, VO-j from the body of the 
document to the Formatter and select the Style radio button. Interact with the 
scroll area and navigate down to the Horizontal alignment group. Interact and 
check the Right check box.

If you want your text to be on the right-hand side of the page, jump to the 
Formatter and select the Layout radio button. Interact with the scroll area and 
navigate down to Indents and press VO-Space to expand the disclosure triangle. 
Navigate to First and set it to the number of centimetres or inches you want 
from the left-hand margin, not the left-hand edge of the paper. Go right to 
Left, and enter the same number. VO-j will take you back to your document.
Cheers,

Anne

Re: Equal Access to Library Books (Was: a word in defense of the Apple accessibility team)

2013-12-20 Thread Sandi Jazmin Kruse
hi Nicholas. I actually don't agree with you, or i should say i do up
too a point. When i started my education, it was clear too me from day
1 that i had too do something my self to get going. Like you i was
absolutely convinced that i would need about $2000 too make it work,
thank god that was not the case. I am not saying that the proof
reading is always perfect, but usually it works.
Now lets have a look at your other point.
Of course it would be absolutely gorgeous if we could lay hand on the
electronic copy of the book. no more scanning, no more working too
make sure that you get all the words right, i am most definitely with
you on that one.
Equal access would be nice, but i have a hard time seeing that
happening anytime soon. As others have said most likely the reason for
this is they are scared of loosing money.
David, true BookShare is absolutely fantastic. I wish i could use
them, but since i am outside the us, i can't.


Eric, there is a part of the copyright law in the us holding you from
scanning the books from your local lib? i gotta admit i did not know
that, if that is indeed the case the overall case about this is or
ought to be quite clear.
With the scanner i got now, i can scan over 400 pages on 2 hours, that
is is of course whilst reading at the same time, scanning,
proofreading.
Also i think it depends on other factors, if you have other handicaps,
of course trying too get the books in some other ways, might be more
enjoyable :)
have a gorgeous weekend! :)


best Sandi

No, actually I need to set some right-aligned tab stops.  So not all my text

the tabs will let me do that if I can figure out how to set them.

Re: 10.9.1 and brailledisplays

2013-12-20 Thread Eugenia Firth
Hi there 
I still had the same problem pariing my Braille Edge with my Mac after I 
updated Mavericks. Once I got it paired, it worked fine. 

With mine, I have to let it fail first, and choose the option button in order 
to input the code. Here's what worked for me. 

Make sure to turn the braille display off until you get to the VoiceOver 
utility. If you don't, you might get the computer demanding the code, never 
mind that it won't let you type it in. You might have to remove the braille 
display when the display is off and start over. Then if you let it fail and 
choose the option button, hopefully the computer will let you type in the 
access code. I hope yours is not complicated so you can type it in fast, 
although the last time when I got to the right place, the computer stayed still 
for me to type it in. I hope all this helps. 

Oh yes. I had to go through this process again when I did a hardware reset on 
my Braille Edge 40. I had to do that because for some reason, when I turned the 
Braille display on, the computer started demanding the code, which it wouldn't 
give me enough time to type in. 
Regards, 
Gigi

Hi,
does anyone here use this display with VO?
If so, where can I find documentaion for it’s use?
For some reason, the documentation that came with my unit only talks about 
windows and jaws.  sorry for saying that on this list, but that’s the case.

I did have a look on the humanware site, but didn’t have any luck myself 
yesterday.

new OS. I had been using OutSpoken for Mac in OS 6 through 9 and was 
interested in continuing to use the Mac as it evolved. In normal 
Apple fashion, no real concrete things were said but it certainly was 
hinted that they were working on something of their own instead of 
having an outside vender developing such an animal. My point is here 
that I don’t believe that it was the noise made by the blind 
community that got Apple on the screen reader and accessibility 
wagon, I’m pretty sure that it was in the cards for quite a while. I 
certainly know that magnification and other accessibility features 
were built right in to the MacOS back in the late 80s,. I don’t 
believe for a minute that accessibility is not a priority.


The old saying that you attract more flies to honey than you do to 
crap comes to mind. Constructive dialog and collaboration usually get 
better results than ranting and raving. Expressing frustration and 
asserting yourself and your rights are fine, but speculation and 
exaggeration seldom result in positive productivity.

Wow, such interesting arguments. When eBook readers do not have

holder has more rights around who can and cannot access the book 
than the potential reader has, accessing the book may not be legally 
possible.


If you want to just flail around ineffectually making lots of noise 
but not necessarily getting very far, your stated approach can have 
limited success. However, would it not be better to learn the 
specifics in any particular situation so you can actually become 
effective? For instance, the author's guild is focused on keeping 
the copyrights law strong since writing and controlling who and how 
the book is read specifically effects the author's income. Authors 
do not earn any money for books which are checked out of libraries. 
However, people who really like books they read in libraries have a 
greater chance of purchasing their own copy. The argument against 
text-to-speech in all eReaders has actually been, if text to speech 
is used, people will not purchase the recorded versions of books, 
and the recorded versions are much more profitable. This is why NLS 
is so strict about who can access their professional recordings.


When software is being designed, adding text-to-speech is 
significantly less difficult than adding TTS access at a later date. 
The same is true for wheelchair access to buildings.


Depending on how the code is written, adding TTS and screen-reader 
navigation may well be extremely complex. In some cases, the entire 
operating system needs to be rewritten in order to add TTS and 
spoken navigation. To rewrite an OS can take a few years. You have 
no idea how long the original software was being developed before 
the company released the product, so the blanket statement that 
adding speech is a trivial matter, is completely incorrect in most 
cases.


Bugs should be fixed quickly. I love this statement. It demonstrates 
complete and total ignorance. Bugs usually take a lot longer to 
track down and correct than adding new features. Operating systems 
are extremely complex. Bugs may have several causes. Changing code

Re: brailliant braille display and vo

2013-12-20 Thread Annie Skov Nielsen
Hi Kate.

Is it the brailliant 32 bi. It is one of the best working displays on both mac 
and IOS.

The best you can do is to pair your display and press vo+k on the mac, and when 
try to press the buttons, to hear what they are doing. You can also assign the 
commands for what you want the buttons to do.

On the IPhone you can press space+k and try different bottons, and hear the 
description of what they are doing.

Best regards Annie.

Hi Hope 
I have a different braille display, but many of the commands are the same for 
all displays. I have one question. If your display has input keys, and I 
haven't one like yours yet, I have a file that I can send you that should work 
for most of your commands. I can't do it right now, but I can send you one 
later if you want it.

I’ve used both the focus 80  and the braille sense 32 before, plus the alva.

Hi all,

Anyone out there that uses menuTab for Facebook?  Have you figured out how to 
tag friends?  I’ve been so close, but no cigar, as they say.

I have a feeling I really need to manipulate the mouse with VO; this is not my 
strength.  :)

Hi,

If you are using the desktop layout you type the at sign @ and then start 
typing their name. When you've typed enough, it will be filled in for you and 
you simply press return to enter it.

Re: Navigating iTunes Radio on the Mac

2013-12-20 Thread Traci Duncan
Hello, I’m not sure if it is any different between Lion & Mavericks….

Some tips to keep in mind is interacting and VO-J.  I find myself doing this a 
lot.  Once I have VO-spaced on my station, I interact with it and press play.  
Then I VO-J over into the lcd section.  This is where the station name and 
track info is.  There is an action button.  VO-space on this then arrow down 
and up for your options.  This is where you select play more like this or never 
play this song again, etc.

Good luck,

stopped bothering me. If I want to know if something is a conversation, I press 
right arrow. If  it opens.  it is  a conversation, and if it doesn’t open, it’s 
not a conversation. 

Cheers
Lisette

Re: tabs and pages

2013-12-20 Thread Anne Robertson
Hello Jim,

The easiest way to do what you want is to jump to the Formatter and select the 
Layout radio button. Interact with the scroll area, and the first item is 
Columns. Set the number of columns and expand the disclosure triangle. You can 
then set the width of each column and the size of the gutter between them.

Cheers,

Anne

Mavericks Safari

2013-12-20 Thread Lee Jones
Dear List I have safari set to open pages in new tabs not new windows in
preferences, and yet whenever I click a link on a website it opens it in an
untitled window ,it doesn't say new tab. Is there a shortcut for cycling
through tabs in safari and closing them? I struggle with closing windows
command tab doesn't seem to move me through all the windows it just seems to
take me to the first window of each application, and command w is
inconsistent,and usually brings up mission control, I just want to kill the
current window I don't want mission control. When reading something in the
untitled windowvoice over sometimes jumps  back to the previous
safari window for no apparent reason.

 

Many Thanks, Lee

Re: huge mail problems still

2013-12-20 Thread Robert Carter
Hi,

Perhaps I am not in quite as much of a hurry as some people. For me, however, 
having the information read in the order that it is presented works well for 
me. I hear the subject a brief preview and whether or not the message is part 
of a thread. I listen to as little or as much of this information as needed 
with the goal of making a decision regarding whether or not I want to read more 
of the message or simply move on.

This approach seems just perfect to me.

Java on the Mac

Dear List there is one particular website  that I need to access which uses

what the safest way is to get java on a mac, ideally without just searching
on google as I know there are fake plugins that have caused problems in the
past.

Re: tabs and pages

2013-12-20 Thread Jim Gatteys
What I really needed was to be ab le to set tab stops like I mentioned in an 
earlier email.  I finally figured out how to do it.  The column restraints 
would not work for what I need.  Tab stops will do the trick.  I can find them 
on the ruler then double click them to change the tab stop type to left, right, 
or centered or decimal for that matter.

I'm surprised I haven't seen the below article already mentioned on the
list. For those who aren't happy with the number of Voiceover changes in

Just days after 10.9.1 update, Apple preps OS X Mavericks for 10.9.2

Re: Java on the Mac

 java.com should work fine. Be sure that the  url do not have any strange 
letters. Downloaded java myself today. Go to safari preferences and place a 
checkmark for enable java script, checkmark for enable java. Turn off safari 
after download. After installation safari opens in the background. You will be 
brought to javas verification window. You may need sighted help to run the java 
tool to install the app in safari and verify.

Oracle is updating java now. Not Apple. Apple considered it to be more safe 
since Oracle developes java. According to statements in another forum.

Take care

Re: a word in defense of the Apple accessibility team

2013-12-20 Thread Joanne Chua
I think as far as the copyright law is concern, it only covers for educational 
purposes and if you want to scan the entire book out of the educational 
purposes it is still consider illegal. Legally, in common cases, you only allow 
to scan 10% or 1 chapter of a book.
As far as there is no equal access in the library is concern, there are getting 
more libraries using online ELibrary media, e.g. Overdrive media etc. You can 
easily browse, select, hold and borrow EItems from your fingers tip so do speak.
Overdrive media has been around for years. And, if you are active enough to 
request at your local library, there are more likely to have it. If not, keep 
requesting, all the numbers adding up at the end.

This is one of them laws that is there but really can't be  upheld 
unless you are scanning the book to keep around after you  turn it back 
into the library or redistributing it. Otherwise, noone really knows you 
scanned more than 10% of the book and you're at complete liberty to scan 
and read it. Unless you call the publishers and say "look here, I'm 
scanning the entire book" you should be fine.

Re: Navigating iTunes Radio on the Mac

2013-12-20 Thread Eileen Misrahi
Hello, 

Here's another issue I just ran into. I was going to apply the tips stated 
below in navigating the radio in iTunes. This is what I did and the results.

1. Opened iTunes and VO-space on radio.
2. Tabbed over to My Stations and interacted with it. 
3. Highlighted a station and VO-space on in. 
4. Interacted with that selection, but I received an error message stating that 
there was no selections. 
5. I repeated this with other stations and received the same results. 

Am I doing something incorrectly? Please advise and make suggestions on how I 
can get my stations to play. Since I couldn't interact with the station, I 
wasn't able to activate the play button after interacting with the station. 

Thanks in advance. 

Best,

 After all compare the number of apple screen readers there have been

 apple's input, , still can with the right equipment, then voiceover.
 because apple understood the importance of including speech for many
 populations.
 what always blows my mind though is the assumption that voiceover exists
 solely for , and benefits only individuals experiencing sight loss. The
 very idea is a limitation in and of itself.
 The broader the understanding that there can be more people and more
 definitions of successful interaction then the one you are personally
 using, the easier it is to draw others on board for inclusion.
 just my two cents having only read Tim's comments and not the rest of
 the thread.

Re: tabs and pages

Once the tabs are set you access the ruler with command-r and the tabs show up 
there.  then you can route mouse to them and double click the trackpad or mouse.

 Hi Anne!
 No, actually I need to set some right-aligned tab stops.  So not all my 
 text will be on the right edge of the page.  It needs to be columnar in 
 nature and the tabs will let me do that if I can figure out how to set 
 them.

Re: VM Fusion and Window-Eyes

Cool! I just had help Installing Windows 7 on my Mac yesterday and I have NVDA 
installed.

Since I’m really new to accessabilty, did you needed help installing Windows 7? 

Also do you know how to get more than two OS on a Mac? I heard that Bootcamp 
won’t allow you to have more than two.

Thanks!

File Path for Specifying icloud IMAP Contacts?

2013-12-20 Thread Teresa Cochran

Hi, all,

I've been able to import a CSV file into Alpine by making the email 
addresses into a distribution list. Alpine has a proprietary format 
for its address book fields, and I really don't want to edit 100 
addresses manually. This isn't the best of solutions, so 
now I'm hoping to specify a remote personal address book. I don't have my 
contacts on Gmail, but I do on iCloud. Is there a way to indicate the file 
path for this address book? It may not work either, but i want to give it 
a try.


Thanks,
teresa
