Re: New to the the Mac, and the dictation program.
Hi Daniel, I understand totally. Speaking and listening are exhausting to me. Which is one reason VoiceOver will be so difficult to learn. My State Representative thinks I'd do good for call center from home.Yeah. I comprehend about 1 word out of 10 from most people. And lately sales reps on the phone have been so hyper auctioneer fast, that after telling them to slow down three times, I often have to give up. The main reason I need Dictation to work, is my fingers don't work well on the keyboard anymore. Even though I hear the letters pressed, half don't show up, or sometimes, odd letters end up in the middle of words that I know I didn't push. And yeah. My jaw hurt from spending the day trying to get Dictation to work yesterday. As for my writing, I write young adult adventure novels, with little to no romance. I also have a cookbook and a memory loss workbook. Planning to self publish soon, though waiting on a novel in a contest. Have a great day!

Re: Using Dragon Experience On The PC Side
Hi Eileen, I had version 11 when it first came out. The last try - we took the computer back to the store and had them install it. (Now remember, I've reformatted hard drives, and set up many a computer). After training it the recommended nine hours. It worked about an hour. Several lost days of work. Speaking is exhausting. I think with my hearing loss, programs jut cant understand me, even if people still can.

Does Dictation have a page limit in Pages for working?
Although I my have to limit my use of Dictation to non-novels, I still need to know if Dictation has a page limit. It works well in social media, email, and Page documents under 5 pages. If the Pages document is more than twenty pages long, I only get the color wheel, and it crashes and won't reopen. It also doesn't try to add words to the document. Is there a page limit in Pages?

Re: New to the the Mac, and the dictation program.
April, Hmm since you are having problems with typing with your hands. Have you looked to I think called sticky keys? Just an idea and I never looked into it. Have you looked into special keyboards. Also, have you tried or used a Perkins keys for braille? Just some ideas. But if you have already considered these, please disregard those ideas. I for one am 29, and I have stiffness in my hands, especially my left hand. Holding shift and hitting keys q, w, z, x, and the number rols, tab keys and the keys on the right side I can’t hit on a typical typing fashion. And when my hands get cold I find it very very hard to type or flex my fingers and sign in American Sign Laguage. So, I really do hope you can find a solution.

Re: Does Dictation have a page limit in Pages for working?
April, I don’t think there is a limit. But there could be a possibly that it depends on your hardware. If you have more RAM and have SSD it would be more reliable and quicker for your Mac to keep up. So as to elimate the buffering done to translate to text. Just an idea, and hope someone more experienced can chime in. Daniel Hawkins - Posted from my Macbook Pro 2012 15in.

Re: VO Choppy in Mavericks
Hi, While I agree with Terje that the SSD HD does amazing things for your computer performance, I only have a spinning HD in my MBP and don’t experience the choppiness with VO. I don’t experience it with my 2009 iMac running OS Server either, which has a spinning HD as well. In both cases, my units were upgraded to Mavericks, not clean installed.

Re: editing a pdf
Hey again Paul I have, as I said, PDF Pen Pro on my computer, and have had for some time. I just kept letting it update itself. I did some experimentation with the IRS web site, and here's what I think I have figured out, and I think we have it at least as good as blind Windows users. PDF Pen Pro is even faster than Windows, at least with Adobe and JAWS. I tried using a form that had not been altered for screen readers, and forget it. It would read but not edit, at least I couldn't get it to work. However, the accessible versions that have been altered for screen readers work fine with PDF Pen Pro, using the tab key to go from field to field, just like in Windows. This makes me happy, although I may have to bother the Alternative Media Center to get out that Schedule C. Regards, Gigi On Jan 7, 2014, at 2:20 PM, Eugenia Firth wrote: > Hey Pauul! Guess what!

Re: Useing The Calendar With Mavericks
David, Thank you for this and sorry for the delayed reply. When I went back to the Apple store your instructions did not work and it was the same machine I had used previously. However, swapping machines produced the cresults you described. At first I found it slightly confusing but when it was explained to me what was happening on screen it made sense.

Problem with Voices when setting an Activity in Mavericks
Hey all, Is anyone else having a problem when setting a different voice for an activity in Mavericks? For some reason my activity works perfectly with all of my settings but doesn’t seem to accept any of the new voices in Mavericks for the activity. I can select the new voice in the pop up window under Voices and it selects and saves it as a default but doesn’t actually use it when using the activity. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "MacVisionaries" group.

Mini sadly not running
Is there a reliable way to know if you are at the space to put in the password on the Mini? Many things could be wrong I know, but my Mini is not giving a signal when to put password in. I have had to force a shutdown twice after trying to add my password. Afraid it will crash so have not tried again. Thanks for any assistance. I have the Mini going through the TV for sound and have a bluetooth keyboard from Apple. Of course bluetooth could have dropped, TV may not have come on for some reason or maybe I am in the wrong place to put the password, understood, but any thoughts on how I can try and get it running? reggie and Allegra -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "MacVisionaries" group.

Hi Brian, I get some confusion with voices sometimes. I choose Susan for my web browsing, and sometimes she doesn’t go away when I go back to something else where I have a different voice set.

Inserting Formulas in Numbers Under Mavericks

ibooks and braille.
Hi all. I have missed something here I am afraid. When I am trying to read an ibook with braille on the mac, I often get stock, and I get the same line again and again. I recall that there need to be changed some settings to get braille to work correctly in ibooks on the mac, but I can not figure out which settings I need to change. If anyone can help I will be very happy. Thank you an advance. Best regards Annie. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "MacVisionaries" group.

Re: kindle
Does it work on the Mac now? Hopefully my previous info is outdated? :) I’ve tried reading with Cloud Reader and VO seems to behave strangely. Previously, on the Mac, VO hasn’t recognized the text in the Kindle app itself. Admittedly, I haven’t tried it in the last few months. Teresa Slow down; you'll get there faster.

Re: Useing The Calendar With Mavericks
Hi Jessica, I just had a 1:1 session at the Apple Store last Sunday on this very topic. However, I am using Mountain Lion, but I would think that the concepts would be the same as in Mavericks. this is what I do and thanks to David he has answered one of my problems that occurred last weekend in navigating the date in the calendar. Open the native calendar on your Mac. Everyone has their way of doing this. I preferred to open the doc with VO-D. and then type CA to get to the calendar. When the calendar opens, the title stated January. You need to interact with this and then use VO-right arrow or VO-left arrow to highlight the date you want to use. Next, I pressed VO-spacebar to open the date. It will state "New Event." I used my tab key once to get to the event edit field and interact with it using VO-Shift-down arrow and typed the name of the event. Next, tab over once and you will land on a pop-up button stating "event Details." You will need to interact with that with VO-Shift-down arrow. VO should state something like a list of 26 items. At this point, you can turn on QuickNav if you like by pressing the right and left arrows at the same time. For each item you will need to arrow over to the right and either interact with the edit field or press VO-spacebar to open the pop-up button. If you are in a pop-up list, arrow up/down to the item you want and then press enter. In the from to area, this is where you specify your time frames for your appointment. this can be tricky, but I equate the selection of the time like using the picker on the iPhone, but use the up arrow to change the number and when you tab over once use the up/down arrow to select AM or PM. Again, there are loads of tabbing, interacting, and selecting with VO-spacebar with the native calendar app on the Mac. When you have completed interacting with the "Event Details," stop interacting with it and tab over to the "Done" button and press VO-spacebar. this will save the appointment to the calendar. HTH.

Re: Renaming A File in ML
Renaming a file isIn a file list in Finder just press enter on the file, erase the old name and type in a new one, but that would not change the format, only the name. If you want to change the format of a file, how you would accomplish this depends on the type of file you are dealing with.

PDF Pen
Hi guys Below is information I received from the developers of PDF Pen. It's very good. We can't use the program for everything that it will do, but it's a definite improvement from before. Greg Scown JAN 08, 2014 | 01:45PM PST Hi Eugenia, We did do past work to make fields accessible. I'm sure that works better with forms designed for accessibility in the sense that such forms have sensible field names rather than "field_00835" or something helpful like that. I do not know if the work we did will be sufficient to meet all of your needs, and we do welcome any feedback on that.

IBooks
OMG, well I was mistaken. My text book is on Ibooks and not kindle. So, now to the drawing board for Ibooks. Thanks again to all those that helped with my kindle question. Now any word on how to use Ibooks? *smiles* I do have the text book now and I’ve at least figured out how to open the book and that VO reads it great, but I’m stuck on how to use it for now, ha.

Re: rhapsody help!
The website is somewhat trickier than the IOS app. You can go to the “my music link” then go to “library” from there. If you tab to the title of a track or album, then shift-tab, you’ll reach “options”. For whatever reason, you can’t forward tab to this link. Press VO-space on “options” and then VO-shift-end to the bottom of the text VO displays. There you will find the “add to library” etc. choices.

Re: Mini sadly not running
Hello, I for one never used the password login part. But maybe a few advice that can help you on the reliability. If you get a headphone and if needed a splitter, you can just plug the headphone or earbud in and hear what is being said on the Mac. That can elimate the problems if tv hav a problem. And maybe it would be good to have a usb keyboard for those rare cases that blooth don’t work. Have you tried to hit cmd and F5? Sometimes Voiceover crashes or just don’t work. Just press cmd F5 once. Wait a min and redo the command and wait a few min. Daniel Hawkins - Posted from my Macbook Pro 2012 15in.

downloading files from sendspace
Hi all, I downloaded an audio file someone had shared on sendspace. It’s an mp3 file, but when it was downloaded, the mac saw it as a safari file and not as an mp3 file. I tried opening it, but when I extracted the mp3 file, it was only 15 kb instead of 129 mb. In the future, how do I get files from sendspace to show up as their proper mp3 format or what ever format they are in?
