It's called RiVO. We have seen blind people use their smartphones quite well with RiVO. I'm trying my best to make people know about the availability of this product. RiVO is a revolutionary keyboard-like remote originally made for Apple iOS VoiceOver users. The name stands for Remote interface to VoiceOver. Being about the size of a credit card, it is highly portable and yet comfortable with big keys. There are 12 keys in the middle just like telephone keypad, and there are 4 additional keys on the left and on the right, respectively. VoiceOver is an innovative technology from Apple and you can enjoy it like a breeze with RiVO. You can also type and edit text fast and easy, control music simple and handy. These features surely make RiVO users to use a greater number of apps easily every day compared to VoiceOver users without RiVO. RiVO supports iPhone, iPad and iPod touch. Android TalkBack is another innovative technology from Google, and Android version of RiVO is also available. Let me list some naive comments from RiVO users around the world: - RiVO is the most accurate and efficient tool for the blind to use smartphone. - I have 275 apps on my iPhone and RiVO is really valuable and helpful. - Alphabet typing becomes extremely fast with RiVO. - RiVO is a must-have accessory that many blind people will appreciate. - I have RiVO with me all the time. - Getting beyond different levels of the gestures are extremely faster with this keypad. - RIVO's smallQWERTY is superior to the old method of alphabet entry. - I use iPhone and RiVO every day, all day long. - RiVO is an indispensable accessory to the blind. - RiVO enables me use my iPhone precisely and quickly while on the move. - RiVO makes me use my iPhone without having to be conscious of the surroundings with my gesture actions. - RiVO gives me the convenience and freedom to use iPhone just like those who can see. - We really love this wonderful keyboard that you guys have made usable for us! - I love my RiVO! I keep it in my pocket all the time. - I am very happy with the keyboard's performance on both of iOS and Android platforms. - RiVO can provide relief to many users who are struggling with touchpad interface. - We were working with a customer who is blind, can only use one hand, and has cognitive disabilities. RiVO gave him better access than he had ever had before to a desktop or iOS device. - RiVO will become a true part of my iPhone experience, and will make the iPhone so much easier to use. You have brought a wonderful device into our lives

Accessible Lync Conference Software for the Mac?
Hi. I have been asked to collaborate with some software developers in the US on a project. They asked me if a Lync conference would be possible since they need to have visual, as well as audio communication. Since Lync is a microsoft product, as is Skype, there may be a cross-program solution, of which I am not aware. Skype is extremely accessible on the Mac and I may suggest to them that we go with Skype. However, if this isn't possible at their end for some reason, how can I still make the conference happen using my Mac? Is Lync even accessible on the Mac, provided it exists on that platform?

That's kind of what I was thinking. Personally, I can't see why one would want to carry this device around along with their phone.

Bear in mind that that's 10 hours of continuous use, not 10 hours of normal use. It goes into sleep mode after 10 minutes, so that 10 hours is, in practical terms, quite long, as I doubt anyone will be writing "War And Peace" on the RiVO. I don't know what the battery life would be for practical use, because I haven't actually run it down to nothing yet (I charge it first). Also, keep in mind the size. It really is the size of a credit card. I checked. It's only a very tiny bit thicker than the iPhone 5S, hardly enough to even notice.

RE: Recommendations For BT Keyboard For Mac Air With Page Up/Down & Home/End Keys
Hi look at the Logitech k750 it is sola powered and has all the keys you named and a number pad so hopes this helps -Original Message- From: macvisionaries@googlegroups.com [mailto:macvisionaries@googlegroups.com] On Behalf Of Eileen Misrahi Sent: Friday, February 14, 2014 6:19 PM To: macvisionaries@googlegroups.com Subject: Recommendations For BT Keyboard For Mac Air With Page Up/Down & Home/End Keys Hello All, I am seeking recommendations for a BT keyboard for my Mac Air that has a page up/down and home/end keys. I am concerned with the amount of use of the VO keys, command key, and FN key combinations with the arrow keys that in the future they will wear out. It would be nice to have full navigation with Page Up/Down and navigation with the Home/End keys, as one has on a full keyboard on the PC side. I do a tremendous amount of word processing and I need to edit my work before sending in the final copy to my job site. Recently, the Logitech 760 information has been posted to this list, but I could not ascertain if there were the keys listed above on this keyboard. Any assistance in this area would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance. Cheers, Eileen Î -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "MacVisionaries" group.

I would expect the times you give in a unit half its thickness. I have seen small bluetooth controllers which are smaller than the size you state with better battery life, and they do not break the laws of physics / current battery and power management technology. The thing is, these technologies are more expensive, not going against the laws of power dynamics. Again, the device is not powering a speaker, visual display, braille display, or speaker. It is only powering a bluetooth transceiver, basic keyboard circuitry, and a couple LED lights (which use almost no power). Compare this with my tiny bluetooth earpiece which has a mic, speaker, and a dim LED light. It is big enough to cover my ear, which makes it significantly smaller than a credit card, and it is just a little thicker than my iPhone 5. It has a continuous battery life of 8.5 hours.

Given the size and what it does, I would expect longer battery life if they were using the latest battery technology and power management firmware circuitry. I would expect the times you give in a unit half its thickness. I have seen small bluetooth controllers which are smaller than the size you state with better battery life, and they do not break the laws of physics / current battery and power management technology. The thing is, these technologies are more expensive, not going against the laws of power dynamics. Again, the device is not powering a speaker, visual display, braille display, or speaker. It is only powering a bluetooth transceiver, basic keyboard circuitry, and a couple LED lights (which use almost no power). Compare this with my tiny bluetooth earpiece which has a mic, speaker, and a dim LED light. It is big enough to cover my ear, which makes it significantly smaller than a credit card, and it is just a little thicker than my iPhone 5. It has a continuous battery life of 8.5 hours. So, no, I am not impressed with the battery life in that unit, It could be better.

Bear in mind that that's 10 hours of continuous use, not 10 hours of normal use. It goes into sleep mode after 10 minutes, so that 10 hours is, in practical terms, quite long, as I doubt anyone will be writing "War And Peace" on the RiVO. I don't know what the battery life would be for practical use, because I haven't actually run it down to nothing yet (I charge it first). Also, keep in mind the size. It really is the size of a credit card. I checked. It's only a very tiny bit thicker than the iPhone 5S, hardly enough to even notice. So it's *very* small, and unfortunately, no one's figured out how to modify the laws of physics yet. My first reaction was also that 10 hours wasn't terribly long, but I, for one, don't think i'd type on *anything* for 10 continuous hours.

I met Jaewoo, the CEO of Mobience, in December while at the dedication of the UN accessibility center, and I expressed some skepticism of how easy this would be to use, given that its default key layout is not ABC but rather a modified, though mostly, QWERTY. I'm no speed demon with it, but I'm certainly faster with the RiVO than I am with the on-screen keyboard. Look for an interview with Jaewoo on an upcoming Serotalk podcast (either Serotalk or Triple-Click Home, I expect), along with a brief demo of RiVO, which I have to edit this weekend. --Budd

Re: An accessible text editor for programming
Hi, I am a big fan of Textmate 2.0. I am specifically referring to this version because it has been made to be very accessible with VoiceOver. While the editor is still in alpha stage, it is very stable and, most importantly, is free and open source. Search the Internet for Textmate 2.0 and you should be able to find it on Github. There is actually a developer whose main focus is acceaccessibility for this editor. I use it for anything from editing files of for various programming languages to writing Markdown files. Good luck. Vic On Sunday, February 9, 2014 9:13:49 AM UTC-8, Jon wrote: > > I have heard that you can get EmacsSpeak to work with the Macintosh.

Re: Help Using Time Machine To Recover Mail

Switching From Gmail to iCloud
Hey all, With my latest disaster with gmail, and gmail having so many issues with Mavericks and Google obviously not planning on improving the accessibility to their web interface anytime soon, I am thinking about switching from gmail to iCloud as I already have a me.com email but never use it. A few thoughts as I know some of you have switched recently, and just want to see if there is anything I am not thinking of. Besides the obvious letting everyone know my email has switched and updating list memberships and websites with my new email, does anyone know if there is a way to change your Apple ID as my log in is my gmail user name. I use mac mail and have created what I thought were folders in mac mail for all saved messages, but now understand they are just labels. I had created these in gmail and noticed I can easily just switch all these folders to iCloud. Is your iCloud amount of storage for mail based on your iCloud plan? Is there a better way to save important messages? Until now I have never had a problem. Does iCloud have an all mail folder like gmail where I might run in to a problem of stuff getting deleted? The strange thing is I did not delete any of the messages I lost in all mail I deleted them from the server in sent mail and since they were messages I had received and labeled you would have thought they would have stayed in all mail since they were received and labeled, but for some reason that was not the case. Anything else I should be thinking about when switching mail providers? Thanks, -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "MacVisionaries" group.

Re: Switching From Gmail to iCloud
There's no charge for iCloud accounts. Also, you can use a different email alias for your email address and not use the Gmail username with your mail. so you can sign into Mail with your me.com address. You might check out iCloud's webmail site. It's not completely accessible, but many things can be done within your iCloud account in Mac Mail instead. the only thing you'll really need to do on the website is set your filters if you have devices other than the Mac. If you only have the Mac, it would be easier to set your message rules up locally in Mac Mail. here's the iCloud webmail site: http://www.icloud.com/#mail HtH, teresa "We're made of star stuff."--Carl Sagan On Feb 15, 2014, at 11:31 AM, Brian Fischler wrote: > Hey all, > > With my latest disaster with gmail, and gmail having so many issues with > Mavericks and Google obviously not planning on improving the accessibility to > their web interface anytime soon, I am thinking about switching from gmail to > iCloud as I already have a me.com email but never use it.

Searching in Mac Mail
Hey all, Not sure if there is any way to do this. I did a search in mail to pull up all emails from a sender, and found all the messages except the ones in a recovered mailbox from Time Machine. For some reason search in mail won't recognize the recovered mailbox. Is there any way to just search the recovered mailbox as pulling up all emails from a specific sender so I can delete them all would make my life so much easier rather than going one by one.

Re: Switching From Gmail to iCloud
actually, setting filters is one of the most accessible things there. Just don't try to add new mailboxes from the website. Best to do that in Mac Mail within the iCloud folders.

Re: Searching in Mac Mail
Focus on the recovered mailbox in the list, and then try your search. also, you could sort your messages by sender and group the messages that way. Hth, Teresa Visualize whirled peas.

strange ITunes issue
Good evening. I have a strange ITunes problem and hopefully someone can help out. If anyone is familiar with audio book converter great. I have that program and before today it was working just fine. I just tried to convert a book which it needs ITunes to do so. The problem is whenever it opens it it says ITunes needs to be opened in 64 bit mode and I need to uncheck it from opening in 32 bit mode. Well, under get info for ITunes that box is not checked. Any ideas? I'm stuck. May -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "MacVisionaries" group.

serious problems burning iso to disk on mavericks
Hi everyone, I wanted to experiment with bootcamp next to my mac os x so i wanted to burn a windows iso to dvd in order to try it out. I have an external dvd-drive that i have bought a few months ago and used successfully to read a few dvds in the past. I just bought some new dvdd and inserted one into the external drive. The mac recognized the dvd and i told it to open finder.I went to disk utility opened the relevant iso through option+cmd+o and selected burn from the files menu. Then i get a message cannot burn disk because the disk drive is not available. What might go wrong here? I am really peeved because i can apparently read dvds with this one but cant seem to write them. I also tried burning the file just from the finder window but the seem result. I also cant find where i can eject the disk on my macbook air 2013 since it does not show up on finder when containing an empty disc. Help would be appreciated since i need a bootable dvd (bootable flash wont work).

Installing Bootcamp On MBA: Any Tips For Success
Hello Everyone, I have made the decision to use Bootcamp and need some expert advise. I have listened to the podcast by Michael Hanson, Applevis editor. I do have some questions that those who have done this procedure in the past can answer. 1. For the download for the Apple support software, can this install on my external Window partition side or does it need to go on a thumb drive? 2. Of course I will do a Timemachine backup before starting the Bootcamp installation. However, should I use a disk cloner software to backup the entire OS to my external drive too? 3. I have a single disk copy of windows 8. Do I connect the optical drive before starting the Bootcamp Assist program with the Windows 8 disk inserted? I have been reading some different websites on the Internet but it's confusing me more on how to go about getting Windows 8 on the MBA. I would appreciate any specific advise and tips to utilize Bootcamp and get this up and running. I'm not worried about installing Windows 8 because I have sighted assistance if need be. There is also a tutorial on how to install Windows without sight on applevis. thanks for reading this somewhat long email and pointing me in the right direction on how to be successful with this task.

trying to install fusion
Hello everyone, So I'm currently in the process of trying to install fusion on my wife's laptop. However, after we told it to continue after putting in our license key it just sits there saying fusion busy. Anyone know why this would be or how we can find out what's going on so that we can finish getting it installed and get to installing windows?

Re: serious problems burning iso to disk on mavericks
Hello, Even though I can't help you with this, I am in the same predicament, as I want to install Bootcamp on my MBA with the OS of Mountain Lion. However, I will be using a Windows 8 disk, so I may have different problems that will arise. I wish you the best and hope you can resolve this issue.

Re: Navigating in Mountain Lion with VO
Ok now that I am back home, I am going to tackle this again. I dont recall setting a keychain password so this part confused me today and I should not have rushed into resetting the login password. So I need to understand this. What is the keychain for, and is it the same thing as the iCloud keychain on the iPhone? One of the options I saw earlier was to create a new keychain. I take it that is what I want since I dont remember setting one before. And hopefully, once I am done with this,, I can get to work. :) Quote of the nanosecond . . .

It is usually something that the user has little interaction with as it unlocks with their login password. Basically, it encrypts and keeps all of your secure data in one place.

Re: spl with fusion
I'm just beginning the process of getting sPL Studio to work in Fusion. I'm pretty clear about what needs to happen but just have one question that might make a difference. I don't use Direct sound in windows so have to have a sound card for the broadcast content. I want to buy a Soundblaster USB card for this purpose. The ones I'm interested say they are only for windows not for mac. But if I'm only using it in Fusion I am using it only in windows right? In other words, it should be OK. I think the only issue will be whether or not Fusion recognizes the card. It has been recognizing other USB things so I'm going. But any thoughts would be welcome. What if anything am I missing here?

Re: serious problems burning iso to disk on mavericks
Hi: The trick to this is not to open finder. When you insert the blank DVD, instead of selecting to open Finder, you should select the option to open Disk Utility. Then, when Disk utility opens, select the Burn option from the tool bar, navigate to the .iso image and then it will let you burn it. When you selected the "open Finder' option, it assumes you want to copy files to a burn folder which you will burn to a DVD. This is not what you want if you are working with a .iso or other image file. Hope this helps.

Re: serious problems burning iso to disk on mavericks
Hi: Let me also add one thing. I have read that, the slower the burn speed, the better. My own experience seems to confirm this. I'd rather wait a few mins longer and have a more readable disc.
