Re: Latest version of Icab is broken!!! please help!!!

[Piotr Machacz]

Has this started happening only after you updated? If yes it just could be that 
they dropped support for older versions of OS X. It might now require mountain 
lion, or mavericks. Check the system requirements, and then either just update 
your mac if you can, or try to find the older version and put it back in.

Re: odd email behavior on mac

[Anne Robertson]

Hello Don,

Having located Mail in the table, stop interacting and navigate right and 
uncheck the following check boxes: Show notifications on lock screen, Show 
message preview, and Show in Notification Center:.

That should fix it.

Cheers,

Anne

Re: yet more regarding youtube

[Chris Blouch]

As to #3, not sure how Apple could fix Flash as Adobe has refused to 
connect it to Apple's accessibility APIs. Instead, Adobe wants Apple to 
implement the same API Windows uses so they don't have to do any more 
work. Unsurprisingly Apple has not been to interested in implementing a 
second accessibility API when they already have a perfectly good one.

However, I disagree that it is entirely Adobe's fault or that they haven't done 
anything about flash accessibility.
1. Some flash, though unlabelled, is still accessible with JAWS on Windows.
2. Some flash on Adobe websites (Adobe Connect, for example) is implemented 
surprisingly well. Everything is fully labelled and all controls are accessible 
with JAWS on Windows. It is a little tricky as it uses custom keyboard 
commands, but if you read Adobe's help documentation it works just as they say.
3. Of course flash is completely inaccessible with VoiceOver. This, however, is 
as much if not more Apple's fault than Adobe's. I don't really blame Apple, as 
the web would be better off with HTML5 and getting rid of flash, but it's still 
hardly Adobe's fault. Apple could endeavour to make flash accessible with 
VoiceOver in the meantime while we're waiting for wider adoption of HTML5.
4. Adobe developed flash to fulfil a need on the web. Although it was not 
created with the blind community in mind, and is consequently a difficult type 
of content to make accessible to blind people, Adobe has gone to efforts to 
make flash accessible. The fact that many developers implementing flash don't 
take advantage of these accessibility features is not entirely Adobe's fault.
5. It's a similar situation with PDFs. Adobe has greatly improved accessibility 
of PDFs and provides great documentation explaining to PDF creators how to 
create accessible PDFs. If sometimes publishers don't follow these guidelines, 
again this is not Adobe's fault.

Re: Windows on a Mac

[Chris Blouch]

Unless you just have to have the absolute fastest performance I'd go the 
VMWare route. The alternative (bootcamp) requires you to partition your 
hard drive and then boot into Windows or OSX, so there really isn't any 
integration. VMWare just runs a virtual machine in a window which means 
you quit it when you don't need it and start it when you do. When 
running you can copy/paste between the Mac and Windows and set up the 
virtual machine to access files on your Mac desktop. The Windows disk 
space defaults to be allocated on the fly so you can give Windows 250GB 
but it will only use what you actually store on the Windows side.

You're welcome.

there is also a program called vmware fusion which allows you to run 
windows as a virtual machine.


this is what I use and a lot of others, too.

If you go the fusion route, you can switch back and forth between the 
two os's without rebooting your physical mac.  You can also file share 
between the two so you don't have to have two copies of things.

Hi Joe,
Wow, lots to cover here!
I'll have a go at some of this and I know others will chime in..
Yes, 250 g is enough space for both operating systems.   You can 
partition your hard disk in any configuration you like.

I'd personally allow 2 g of ram for windows.
The alt and command keys are switched, but I think you might be able 
to use something like key remapped, but I'm not sure about this.
For your cursor question, go into vo utility, and under the 
navigation tab, you want to change the option for "vo speaks 
caracters the cursor passes.  I forget exactly what the option you 
want is called..It might be something like, speak the character  to 
the right of the cursor or something like that.
I don't use boot camp, so unfortunately I can't answer boot camp 
questions except to tell you that you *might* need sighted help to 
set this up.  there is a program out there now that some have used to 
set up boot camp without sighted help, but this is way beyond my 
knowledge.

3. How much space should I devote to Windows using BootCamp?

Hi since were talking about youtube. :)
What are the other key commands for using youtube?
I know the "j" key is rewind, the "k" key is pause play, & the "l" key is fast

Are there more key commands for youtube such as "play next video" or play 
previous video" or so forth?

.BrL Files Disappearing in louis

[Teresa Cochran]

hi, all,

Most of the time Louis works for me, but there's an rtf file I'm trying to 
translate to brl format. I choose the file to translate, then the name of the 
brl file, then go to the processing tab and choose translate. It gives me the 
message that the file has been translated and the file path. I press ok and no 
file. It doesn't seem to place a file anywhere. I've tried spotlight searching 
on my mac.

Any ideas?

Thanks,
teresa

Re: Sending a file Directly to a serial Device in Louis?

[Teresa Cochran]

Sure, it's safe to download. You might have gotten a message not allowing it to 
install, because of the high security setting in oS X. You can turn this off in 
Safari or system preferences. In the meantime, you can go into the contextual 
menu and choose "open".

Hi Jessica.
I'm not a beta tester but I don't think it is free. Apple allows to test its 
betas just to who have subscribed its beta testing service.

Have a great day.

Re: Anyone can now test betas of OS X!

[Daniel Miller]

Yes, it's free, but I don't think it allows you to test betas of major 
versions, unfortunately. I do encourage people to do this as well, the more 
testers that use accessibility features, the better.

MBraille

[Brandon Olivares]

Hello,

Does anyone here use MBraille on the IPhone? I just started using it, and 
really like it so far.

I was hoping people might have some tips for using it. I have some trouble with 
the table layout, because the layout of the dots is a bit weird. The away 
layout is easier for me, but not as comfortable to hold.

I timed myself typing with MBraille and I was able to type at about 40 WPM, 
which I think is pretty good as far as texting speeds are concerned.

I'm considering getting the pro version since it can interact with many other 
apps, but not sure yet.

Brandon

Where to put Numbers Applescripts?

[Phil Halton]

Sorry, I lost the directions for where to put that Table renaming applescript 
so that it's accessible in the numbers app. I've put it in 
Philhalt/library/scripts/numbers/ (philhalt is my username)
but whenI look in the Numbers/services menu item, from within the numbers app, 
it isn't there.

Re: Anyone can now test betas of OS X!

[Alex Hall]

So far, 10.9.3 is the latest beta, and there won't be a 10.10 beta until June. 
I've seen nothing about restrictions as of right now, so only time will tell if 
*everyone* can access 10.10, unless I missed an article?

Re: Where to put Numbers Applescripts?

[Nicholas Parsons]

To my knowledge, it will never appear in the Services menu, as it is a script 
not a service. You can enable the scripts menu from the "General" preference 
pane of the AppleScript Editor utility. The scripts menu then appears in the 
menu extras menu.
To have it appear in the scripts menu, place it in 
/Library/Scripts/Applications/Numbers - I think there might be a better way 
than this but at least this does work - I've tested it.
If you want to make it a service, just create a new Service with Automator, 
drag in the Run AppleScript action and copy and paste my AppleScript into the 
appropriate field. Then you can set a keyboard shortcut in System Preferences.
I use Keyboard Maestro to execute the script, but you could just as easily use 
VoiceOver's Keyboard Commander.

Re: MBraille

[Nicholas Parsons]

Hi Brandon,

I use and love mBraille. Here are my tips:
Set it to always use "away" layout, table layout is only useful with the iPad, 
and even then it's no where near as easy as away layout.
Turn tutorial mode off, this only seemed to make things difficult for me.
Get the pro version, it's definitely worth being able to text, email and Google 
right from the app, though the fact that it automatically copies your text to 
clipboard when you close the app is fantastic and makes it easy to use.
Even with the added delay of having to use a different app to type, I'm still 
much faster with mBraille. It's an app I use all the time and really enhances 
my iPhone.

Best,
Nic

Re: Where to put Numbers Applescripts?

Thanks, I enabled the scripts menu and the script, which I placed in 
user/library/scripts/numbers, showed up as you said it would. I didn't have a 
"applications" subfolder, but that doesn't seem to matter. Maybe for the sake 
of organization it would be good for me to create it and place the Numbers 
folder in it.

Re: Where to put Numbers Applescripts?

[Nicholas Parsons]

Yeah, I've been getting a little mixed up because for some reason things aren't 
working as they should for me. Glad you got it sorted though. FYI, following is 
the link to the Apple Support page on enabling and using the scripts menu with 
iWork applications:
http://www.iworkautomation.com/script-menu.html

They say to create the applications folder. Not sure if it's just for 
organisation, or if it has something to do with making sure only the scripts 
for the front most application are visible.

In my scripts menu, none of the scripts from the ~/Library/Scripts folder are 
shown. Only the computer scripts.

App switching still takes too long when using activities

[Alex Hall]

Hi all,
Someone recently told me that low verbosity in Mail eliminates the "disclosure 
triangle" and other annoying announcements. It does indeed, so i set up an 
activity to set low verbosity in Mail. I tried activities a couple years ago, 
but they caused switching to and from apps to go really slow, as in at least 
five seconds from pressing cmd-tab to being able to use the app. Since then 
we've had two OS updates, and I went from 2gb to 8gb of ram, so i figured I'd 
be all set... Nope. It takes just as long today as it did two years ago. Is 
there anything i can do to fix this problem? Is this universal, or do only some 
people experience it? Thanks.

Re: App switching still takes too long when using activities

[Anne Robertson]

Hello Alex,

How are you switching between apps and does your Mail activity kick in when you 
switch to mail?

I have a Mail activity with low verbosity and switching is immediate using 
Cmd-Tab. I have a MacBook Air 11-inches with 8 gb of RAM.

Cheers,

Anne
