Re: How do I play this interview?

[Anne Robertson]

hello Max,

Having opened the page, use the Web rotor and go to Links. Type MP4, press 
Return and navigate right until you hear HTML5 and do VO-Space. It should start 
playing.

Alternatively, you could download one of the MP4 files.

Cheers,

Anne

Bluetooth Barcode Scanners and Digit-Eyes

[Mike Busboom]

Hi.

Sometimes when I use Digit-Eyes, it takes me forever to find the barcode.  For 
me, this greatly reduces the utility of a program that I think is really good.

I have been looking at bluetooth barcode scanners, but I haven't purchased 
anything yet.

Any thoughts?

Kindest regards and thanks in advance,

Mike

Re: mp4 to avi?

[Kevin Shaw]

Hi Maria,

Try Miro Video converter. It's fairly accessible and will convert between 
formats. It's also free.

Re: Bluetooth Barcode Scanners and Digit-Eyes

[Mike Busboom]

Thank you for supplying this link, Isaac.  Have you used this particular 
scanner with Digit-Eyes and if so, how well does it work?  

I guess what I am really asking is if it is possible, in principle, to use such 
scanners with Digit-Eyes.

On a similar subject, is it possible to use such devices with other 
blindness-related apps such as TapTapSee as well.

Thanks, 

Mike

Re: Can't access system dialogs info

[Kayaker]

Hi,

You will need to use the function key as well, that's the one on the bottom 
left of your laptop keyboard.  Sounds as if in your Keyboard system 
preferences, you have checked the item that has the function keys performing 
the hardware controls. You can tweak it so either way will work depending on 
your preferences. 

Best,--K
Faith doesn't give you the answers, it merely stops you from asking the 
questions.

command-y and email attachments

Sorry, I buzzed through this discussion as I had no attachments at the time but 
now that I do have a couple messages to test this on, when I go into the body 
of the message, interact with it, and hit command-y, it says that there are no 
items chosen for Quick View. How does one choose the attachment to open?

Google chrome, ChromeVox, and VoiceOver

I've just started using chrome with chrome box for a video intensive site where 
the webmaster recommends either chrome or firefox. How are people using 
Chrome/chrome box? I'm leaving VO on and just use the chrome box navigation 
keys to get around on the page, and VO for menus and such. Any suggestions for 
best uses of chrome with box/VO? How about chrome settings?

fresh install versus update

[Jenine Stanley]

So, Ray mentioned something that gave me pause. 

I'd love to hear pros and cons for both approaches as I'm fairly new to this 
operating system and came in with Mavericks already installed. 

What is the difference, besides the process of course, of updating to 10.10 and 
doing a fresh install? 

I know one would backup the files and such to someplace like DropBox or an 
external drive but from an operations standpoint, what do I gain or lose from 
each method? 

I'll be very interested to follow this one.

Re: Google chrome, ChromeVox, and VoiceOver

[Tim Emmons]

Hey Phil, I use it as well. I have found that if you turn voiceover off and use 
the Chromevox navigation keys it's much easier, much more responsive and less 
of a hassle to deal with the two components fighting each other. Just my 
thoughts. If you need help let me know. Thanks and take care.

Re: fresh install versus update

[isaac]

The difference between doing a update and a fresh install is that if you update 
you can take all of you're apps documents and important things with you doing 
the upgrade process. A clean install would mean you would have to reinstall 
every thing including apps.

Re: Bluetooth Barcode Scanners and Digit-Eyes

[erik burggraaf]

Hi Mike,

The one you need is the kiamtac kdc410I.  You can have it on amazon for about 
330 bucks.  There are two versions of this scanner.  Make sure you get the I 
version.  The standard version pares with the iphone, but only as a HID device. 
 Essentially it acts like a keyboard and that is it.  The I version is fully 
intergrated with digit-eyes.  They are the same price too.

I have a sheet here that lets you adjust the scan time which I can send you 
once you have your kdc.  Default is two seconds and for me, I've found that I 
need a bit mor time than that usually.

Best,

Apple’s Swift is instant hit among top programming languages



by MacDailyNews 

[cfsp key="adsense_336x280"]"Apple's new Swift language, featuring
modern-day development capabilities for building OS X and iOS
applications, is likely to find swift, high placement in assessments of
programming language popularity," Paul Krill reports for InfoWorld.

"Both the Tiobe and PyPL indexes already have plans to accommodate
Swift," Krill reports. "'A preview shows that its first rating will
probably in the top 20 by [the July Tiobe index]. Swift is a natural and
long-awaited next step of Apple,' this month's Tiobe index description
said. The monthly index, which gauges language popularity via a formula
assessing searches on languages on sites like Google, Wikipedia, and
YouTube, has shown Swift's predecessor, the Objective-C language,
ranking not far behind C and Java in language popularity in recent years."

"In the rival PyPL index, which looks at how often language tutorials
are searched on in Google, a representative already has done a brief
assessment on Swift," Krill reports. "'Yes, it would come in ninth
position, based on the first week of data since its announcement,' said
Pierre Carbonnelle, who oversees the index... With a 6.6 percent share,
Objective-C ranks eighth on the PyPL index, which notes the language has
been climbing in popularity."

[cfsp key="adsense_336x280"]"Back in September we reported that Apple
was developing a feature to help users find their parked cars for its
in-house Maps app," Mike Beasley reports for 9to5Mac.

"While that feature wasn’t officially debuted during WWDC last week, new
icons found inside the Maps application indicate that the feature was in
development at some point and is likely still be worked on," Beasley
reports. "As we originally noted: 'Sources say that Apple is testing a
tool for its Maps app that, with the M7 chip, could analyze when your
car is parked. When you park your car, the iPhone will register the
car’s location.'"

Beasley reports, "Apple’s latest mapping software contains six images
dedicated to the parked car location feature, each a purple pin with a
car-shaped glyph."

by MacDailyNews 

[cfsp key="adsense_336x280"]"Apple on Tuesday was granted a patent for a
weightlifting tracking system that uses a standalone sensor to transmit
metrics to a remote display, which in some cases include a wristwatch,"
Mikey Campbell reports for AppleInsider.

"The U.S. Patent and Trademark Office granted Apple U.S. Patent No.
8,749,380 for a 'Shoe wear-out sensor, body-bar sensing system, unitless
activity assessment and associated methods' is actually a continuation
of multiple patents describing a fitness-related patent ecosystem,"
Campbell reports. "As granted, the patent covers a system in which a
sensor-laden device attaches itself to a weightlifting bar and counts
and displays repetitions. Unique to Apple's invention is the inclusion
of a watch for remote readings, possibly hinting at a future or intended
use case scenario for the company's much-rumored iWatch."

"Apple has yet to announce an iWatch, though many expect the tech giant
to introduce a wearable device of some kind later this year. With the
new HealthKit framework and corresponding Health app for iOS 8, which
can collect raw data from external devices, Apple is making a push into
fitness and health-tracking devices," Campbell reports. "As for its own
hardware, the latest rumors point to a form-fitting wristwatch device
with curved OLED screen."

Two arrested in Russia after confessing to Apple ID ransom scheme



by MacDailyNews 

[cfsp key="adsense_336x280"]"Russian authorities say two people from
Moscow have confessed to a 'ransomware' attack on a number of Apple
device owners, mainly in Australia, during May," Charles Arthur reports
for The Guardian.

"An official statement on the Russian Ministry of Internal Affairs
website says that the duo, who live in the capital, hatched the scheme,
which they carried out first by creating a 'phishing' site to collect
iCloud logins, and then locking the devices," Arthur reports. "People in
Australia woke up to find a message on their iPhone, iPad or Mac saying
"Device hacked by Oleg Pliss" and that to unlock it they should pay a
ransom of $100. Some users in New Zealand, the US and UK were also
affected. Apple had said only that the attack was not a break-in to its
iCloud system, and that the affected users' login details must have been
compromised elsewhere. It has not released figures on how many people
were affected, though data from Australia and Apple's discussions boards
seem to suggest that dozens were hit by it"

"The two perpetrators - who were not named, but who were said to have
been born in 1991 and 1998, which would make them about 23 and 16 - also
confessed to another scheme, where they would connect a new device to a
hijacked iCloud account, and then use it to acquire large amounts of
media such as music and shows – which they then advertised for sale
online. One of those arrested had previously been tried on hacking
charges, the ministry said," Arthur reports. "Russia has been a centre
for a number of criminal hackers, with organised crime sometimes
involved in schemes to break computer security systems around banks and
other high-profile organisations."

*Read more in the full article here
.*

*MacDailyNews Take: *The problem was/is that some people use one
password for everything they do online and, when one thing gets
compromised (eBay, for example), everything is accessible to criminals.

Use unique passwords and Apple's Keychain Access
 and iCloud Keychain

to create and manage them. When used properly, it works like a dream.

by MacDailyNews 

[cfsp key="adsense_336x280"]"Apple appears to be removing many of the
popular music downloading apps from the iOS App Store, including those
that allowed users to obtain files from third-party file sharing sites,"
Richard Padilla reports for MacRumors. "The move is likely in an attempt
to push the iTunes Store and iTunes Radio, as well as to clean up the
App Store ahead of an overhaul in iOS 8."

"A search for the term 'music download' in the App Store displays a
message inviting users to try out iTunes Radio," Padilla reports.
"Previously, the same search would show results for a number of apps
that could download music and audio files from websites such as
Soundcloud and YouTube, with many appearing on the App Store's 'Top
Charts' section."

Padilla reports, "Some developers have also noted that Apple has asked
them to remove audio downloading functionalities from their app, perhaps
to prevent potential piracy."

Hi all
Just want to apologize for the unnecessary clutter. I just thought the 
news I forward was ideal to share with the list. Will not do so from 
this point. No offence or hard feelings by the way.

Re: Bluetooth Barcode Scanners and Digit-Eyes

[Gene Baroni]

What makes this scanner the one to buy? I have a friend that lives by himself 
and he wants a Bluetooth scanner. He is 75 or there about and his dexterity 
isn't the best so I need some good info before I talk to him about this.

  Hi Mike,


  The one you need is the kiamtac kdc410I.  You can have it on amazon for about 
330 bucks.  There are two versions of this scanner.  Make sure you get the I 
version.  The standard version pares with the iphone, but only as a HID device. 
 Essentially it acts like a keyboard and that is it.  The I version is fully 
intergrated with digit-eyes.  They are the same price too.


  I have a sheet here that lets you adjust the scan time which I can send you 
once you have your kdc.  Default is two seconds and for me, I've found that I 
need a bit mor time than that usually.


  Best,

Hi.

Sometimes when I use Digit-Eyes, it takes me forever to find the barcode.  
For me, this greatly reduces the utility of a program that I think is really

I have been looking at bluetooth barcode scanners, but I haven't purchased 
anything yet.

Any thoughts?

Re: fresh install versus update

[Alex Hall]

Generally, a clean install is not required. Only if your Mac starts doing odd 
things or not working properly should you do this. Some people do a clean 
install for every major upgrade, but I say if you don't *need* to go through 
the hassle, don't bother. In other words, try a regular upgrade first. If weird 
things start happening, and no one else is having the same problems, and 
regular troubleshooting (permissions repair, PRAM reset, etc) don't fix it, 
only then do a clean install.

Re: fresh install versus update

Apple removing music downloading apps from App Store

 



by MacDailyNews 

[cfsp key="adsense_336x280"]"Apple appears to be removing many of the
popular music downloading apps from the iOS App Store, including those
that allowed users to obtain files from third-party file sharing sites,"
Richard Padilla reports for MacRumors. "The move is likely in an attempt
to push the iTunes Store and iTunes Radio, as well as to clean up the
App Store ahead of an overhaul in iOS 8."

"A search for the term 'music download' in the App Store displays a
message inviting users to try out iTunes Radio," Padilla reports.
"Previously, the same search would show results for a number of apps
that could download music and audio files from websites such as
Soundcloud and YouTube, with many appearing on the App Store's 'Top
Charts' section."

Padilla reports, "Some developers have also noted that Apple has asked
them to remove audio downloading functionalities from their app, perhaps
to prevent potential piracy."

   Well unless the list owner says to stop, why stop? But providing  a 
link to the site would probably work well so those who want the news can 
get it themselves.


   From what I read, some of the news should be of interest to the list 
anyway.

Well, it's definitely not spam as it pertains to the list.  And, it's certainly 
more interesting then hearing the same questions over and over again from 
certain people.

Re: embossing from a Mac?

[Robert C]

   I am waiting for Duxbury to port DBT over to Mac. And if that 
version uses Microsoft Word, which supposedly will be accessible on the 
Mac, it cannot be soon enough tho I may need the time to save up the 
pennies for both. :)


   But if there are other alternatives that would work, I would try those.

Re: embossing from a Mac?

[Cheryl Homiak]

I use an Index printer and Index has an application and driver. I use liblouis 
and liblouisutdml for translation but I also do a lot of editing along with 
that; there is also a louis program for the Mac but at least for the Spanish 
there were problems with it last time I tried it but the English may work fine. 
I'm just doing text files though, not Word files, but I don't need that for 
what I am doing right now anyway. If you have an Index printer, a quick google 
should bring up information as this was posted on the macvoiceover list and I 
think some other lists a little over a year ago.

Re: embossing from a Mac?

['Chris Blouch' via MacVisionaries]

I had posted this to the list a while ago:

Was emailing with the folks at ViewPlus and they say they have a beta 
driver for their embossers. They said it can emboss simple text 
documents and works with any current generation ViewPlus embosser. I can 
pass along their contact info if anyone wants to give it a whirl.

Re: fresh install versus update

['Chris Blouch' via MacVisionaries]

I can't recall the last time I did a clean install. Then again, I've not 
had much trouble with my Macs. I just checked my preferences folder and 
I files in there going back to 2007, which is probably the last time I 
did a clean install. Guess I should delete some of that cruft some time 
but disk space is cheap compared to the time it would take me to clean 
house. If you had a mansion with a million beds, would you ever make 
yours or just sleep in another one the next night?

Generally, a clean install is not required. Only if your Mac starts doing odd

the hassle, don't bother. In other words, try a regular upgrade first. If weird 
things start happening, and no one else is having the same problems, and 
regular troubleshooting (permissions repair, PRAM reset, etc) don't fix it, 
only then do a clean install.

I'd love to hear pros and cons for both approaches as I'm fairly new to this

What is the difference, besides the process of course, of updating to 10.10 and 
doing a fresh install?

I know one would backup the files and such to someplace like DropBox or an 
external drive but from an operations standpoint, what do I gain or lose from 
each method?

I'll be very interested to follow this one.

Bluetooth Braille Displays

[Daniel Smith]

Hi everyone,

I'm in the research phase of purchasing a bluetooth braille display, and 
I'm looking for advice from my fellow visionaries. I've never owned a 
braille display, so I'm not too sure which models and brands are most 
reliable, popular, etc. 

What would you recommend for one whose primary use will be reading Braille 
in other languages (I'm a biblical studies student at Yale) ). I'd like it 
to be bluetooth so I don't need to deal with the additional wires, and I 
don't mind it being a bit larger, since I'll be using it primarily at home. 

Any and all advice is welcome.

Regards,
Daniel

Re: Google chrome, ChromeVox, and VoiceOver

['Chris Blouch' via MacVisionaries]

That seems to be the big drawback with ChromeVox. Not that it isn't 
usable and such but that it only works inside the Chrome browser. So 
anytime you want to do anything anywhere else in your computer you have 
to go back to voiceover and switch mental models of keystrokes and 
navigation. Not sure it's worth the hassle just for a different 
experience inside the Chrome browser.

Yes, do it from the messages list, an attachment will be selected to view and 
there will be next and previous buttons and an index list if more than one

interact with it as HTML, headings and all

Re: Bluetooth Braille Displays

[Brent Harding]

The Focus 40 Blue is a pretty good display. It does both bluetooth and USB for 
if yo were going to use it with the computer as well. Also, they have recently 
added the ability to switch between the two so you could go from the phone to 
the PC and back easily. I think the big issue might be whether or not voiceover 
supports using braille in other languages more so than the display, as I would 
assume all languages still use the same 6 or 8 dots of braille.

Re: deleting a table from a pages document

[Tim Kilburn]

Hi,

When navigating through your Pages document, VO will announce when you come 
upon a table and say something like Table 1.  This should mean that focus is on 
that table, so, just hit your Delete key and it should go away.

Later...

Re: embossing from a Mac?

The embossers from Index work well. Your biggest problem, however, is not the 
actual embossing but the translation program.

Re: embossing from a Mac?

   I have not heard that, did not know there was a delay, for I never 
heard a deadline. Ok being funny here. :) I would play with Louis but 
the embosser is not close enough to the Mac anyway to be connected.

editing a bulleted list in Pages

[Jenine Stanley]

I was editing a document my husband sent me. It was a Word .docx file but came 
into Pages OK. 

He had a large bulleted list of things and each was several sentences long 
within its bullet point. As I tried to edit, each word came out as "list 
selected" or something like that before it said the word. There was a lot of 
unnecessary verbiage before each word which made editing tedious. Possible but 
tedious. 

Any thoughts on how to edit such lists? I'm almost sure you guys were talking 
about this earlier last week. I should just read every post because right after 
you discuss something, I usually end up having to do it. :)

Re: [New post] Apple removing music downloading apps from App Store

Well,

It is Apple related & saves me the time of going to look for it.  So, I vote 
yes.  Anyway, is it so hard to see the MSG header & deleting it, if you don't 
won't to read it?  Seriously?  Let's police everything, cause it might be

Again, seriously?

Re: embossing from a Mac?

[Georgina Joyce]

Hello,

I have just got an Index Basic going on my Mac.

Firstly I needed a USB to serial lead. I understand that there are 2 chipsets 
supported. I was lucky that one that I had for some time was a supported one. I 
had to find a Prolific driver and install it. It wasn't difficult. It generates 
a /dev/cu.usbserial device which you send the braille for embossing.

Not sure if I needed the Index driver too but I installed it.

I had used nfbtrans on a linux command line so grabbed that. However, it was 
not going to work on the Mac. There is a Mac patch copy floating about which I 
eventually found. This works OK but is limited.

Then there is Louis a GUI accessible program. This works too. However, only 
with text files. RTF and HTML etc files just seem to crash and don't work for 
me. It does enable the translation of different braille tables.

So check out nfbtrans if you don't mind working from the command line or Louis 
if you want a GUI interface.

   If THAT is all that annoyed some people, than asking Chris if he 
could clean up the posts would be the sensible thing to do.

is sharing information.

No Chris,

You don't have to stop it altogether. Just don't spam it :) You seem really 
keen on letting us all know about the news and that's great, but there are 
other ways to share it correctly without flooding the space. Like i said, a 
digest. Or even some kind of stream on twitter.

Cheers,

Hi,

I would just say that this list is pretty busy as it is, and anyone who wants 
can subscribe to RSS, Twitter feeds or whatever to get these kind of news 
stories if they want to, but if people want it to be for news on here as well 
then maybe I'll do some unsubscribing in other places :)

Re: embossing from a Mac?

[Tim Emmons]

 Gena, I have a Romeo Pro 50 a single sided braille printer from Enabling 
technologies. Can I get that to emboss on the mac side? I've not had luck with 
it yet but was just curious. Let me know what might work. This is for my office 
here at work, we're trying to get our braille printer back up and going and 
we've been down with it for a few months since they switched us here and I 
can't seem to get the embosser to work. Thanks.

Re: Bluetooth Braille Displays

[Eugenia Firth]

Hi there
If I had it to do over again, I would wait a while before getting any of the 
focuses. First of all, you have to use Windows to update them. That may not be 
a problem for you, but it is a pain for me. Second of all, right now some of us 
are experiencing really big problems. Focus display with getting the focuses to 
pair with the Mac. I hear that is going to be changed when next update comes 
around, and I sure hope so.
I do not have the same problems with my Braille edge 40. I had a  problem one 
time, and that took about two weeks to resolve. Just my two cents on the matter.

Sincerely,
Gigi

I can't even update my Focus with the new 1 2 3 update even though I bought it 
last year! I just hope that the Braille really improves when the next IOS 
update comes.

Re: Bluetooth Barcode Scanners and Digit-Eyes

[Eugenia Firth]

Hi there
I like Digit-Eyes, but I have found that for some things TapTapSee works 
better. For example, if I just want to find out what's in a can of food, or 
even a package, I found the TapTapSee is faster. Would this work for your 
friend? That would allow him to be a lot more flexible insofar as accuracy is 
concerned. Then he could just put the camera over whatever he wanted to know 
about.

Gigi

Re: Bluetooth Braille Displays

[Brent Harding]

They might've screwed it up a little in IOS 7. It did work good with IOS 6 
though. I would've assumed that most of them used windows-based firmware 
updaters, but the Braille Edge might have a way to load it by putting a file on 
the SD card with it. The one issue I did have is that if the phone goes to 
sleep, the bluetooth can't wake it, but that may be the way Apple devices are 
in general.

  Hi everyone, 


  I'm in the research phase of purchasing a bluetooth braille display, and 
I'm looking for advice from my fellow visionaries. I've never owned a braille 
display, so I'm not too sure which models and brands are most reliable, 
popular, etc. 


  What would you recommend for one whose primary use will be reading 
Braille in other languages (I'm a biblical studies student at Yale) ). I'd like 
it to be bluetooth so I don't need to deal with the additional wires, and I 
don't mind it being a bit larger, since I'll be using it primarily at home. 


  Any and all advice is welcome.

   That is exactly how the Braille Edge is updated. And its a smooth

   Hi there
   If I had it to do over again, I would wait a while before getting any of the 
focuses. First of all, you have to use Windows to update them. That may not be 
a problem for you, but it is a pain for me. Second of all, right now some of us 
are experiencing really big problems. Focus display with getting the focuses to 
pair with the Mac. I hear that is going to be changed when next update comes 
around, and I sure hope so.
   I do not have the same problems with my Braille edge 40. I had a  problem 
one time, and that took about two weeks to resolve. Just my two cents on the 
matter.

   Sincerely,
   Gigi

   Hi everyone,


   I'm in the research phase of purchasing a bluetooth braille display, and 
I'm looking for advice from my fellow visionaries. I've never owned a braille 
display, so I'm not too sure which models and brands are most reliable, 
popular, etc.


   What would you recommend for one whose primary use will be reading 
Braille in other languages (I'm a biblical studies student at Yale) ). I'd like 
it to be bluetooth so I don't need to deal with the additional wires, and I 
don't mind it being a bit larger, since I'll be using it primarily at home.


   Any and all advice is welcome.


   Regards,
   Daniel

For what it's worth, all the bickering back and forth has created more

emails from him to /dev/null via procmail, so it's not a bother any longer.

Re: Mac Daily News

[Eileen Misrahi]

Hi Monitors, 

It would be nice to have some clarification on this matter. The one that now 
seems to think it's okay to post from MacDailyationews is the one who 
complained that this type of spam was cluttering the list. I myself will choose 
which of these topics interest me or which ones I need to use the delete key. 
It would just be great to have some direction from the monitors.

Thanks in advance.

Kind regards,
Eileen

Re: embossing from a Mac?

[Cheryl Homiak]

I thought about replying within the message but decided that might not work so 
well for people who are trying to read fast. So I'll address each point here at 
the top.

1. My cable came with the Index basic and I didn't have to go find a prolific 
driver and cable. Maybe that is part of what the driver and application do 
though I do also happen to have prolific cables because of using brltty. Maybe 
it's been fixed but from Lion on, sometimes the official prolific driver caused 
problems; for instance, unplugging it without killing brltty first caused 
spontaneous reboot of my computer and I learned by searching online that this 
was not a brltty problem but was related to the prolific driver's interaction 
with the OS. And on one of my computers, installing the prolific driver did not 
result in a cu.usbserial or any other cu. device in /dev. So I looked around 
online and found that somebody had done a driver, though I had to directly 
install the kernel extension instead of just running an installer. The naming 
ends up being different from what the official driver did but it does start 
with a cu prefix. Btw I think that keyspan cables are no longer useable at all; 
I have a few of those too. The change in driver solved both issues. I'll post 
the links in case anybody needs them. But because I kind of went down a rabbit 
trail here let me again say that the cable that came with the Index Basic I 
have worked out of the box for me along with the driver and application.

2. Actually, I used to compile nfbtrans on my Mac in terminal just as I did in 
linux. I didn't actually use it for embossing but it could be done. I think I 
had help in doing a patch at one time for the Mac but I don't know if I still 
have it or if it would still work - this was a long time ago.

3. In addition to louis, which was done by Greg Kearney in order to implement 
liblouis on the Mac,, there are liblouis and liblouisutdml, which I use on the 
command line after compiling and installing. There are a few little quirks but 
I was able to install them on the Mac. I also now have them installed on an old 
powerpc Mac mini which I have turned into a debian linux machine. Unless Greg 
has fixed the problem in louis,, the right tables aren't being loaded for 
Spanish - I don't know about other languages. Part of the problem had to do 
with UTF8 character sets but I would have to go back and look at my notes and 
email exchanges with John Boyer and the related email lists to really give an 
accurate explanation. The result was that most of my accents were not being 
translated if I tried to use Louis but I would instead get these codes offset 
by single quotes if I remember correctly.

3. I think that somewhere with using liblouis and liblouisutdml and maybe other 
components, there is a program for doing rtf but I haven't ever tried it. While 
I do use liblouis and company successfully, it is not automatic conversion by 
any means. I have to do a lot of formatting within the text file to get what I 
want in the braille file and even then I have to do editing in the braille file 
too. Some of this may be my ignorance as to the proper way to do things but 
just be warned if you use it, there is definitely work and problem-solving 
involved.

Re: Bluetooth Braille Displays

[Jonathan Mosen]

Hi Kawal, if your Focus Blue was new last year when you bought it, you can 
update it. The only ones you can't update are the ones with whiz wheels, and 
they stopped being sold in  2012.
Power 1 2 3 is a really cool feature for seamlessly switching between a 
computer connected via USB and an iDevice connected with Bluetooth. Makes 
handling texts etc a snap.

Re: Bluetooth Barcode Scanners and Digit-Eyes

[erik burggraaf]

Hi Mike,  It's as I said.  The kdc is fully intergrated with digit-eyes.  Once 
pared it beeps the bar codes and instantly finds the information directly in 
digit-eyes.

Most other bar code readers act as a HID device.  That means the I device 
treats them as a bluetooth keyboard.  The digit-eyes web site can use them, but 
HID devices are not intergrated into the digit-eyes app.

I have only one issue with the kdc and that is it frequently has to be repared 
with the I device. I had planned to work on this, but I haven't had the time 
and now I'm going to lose access to the equipment.

Best,

Re: Bluetooth Braille Displays

[erik burggraaf]

Hi Daniel,

I've done some very in depth comparisons of the various braille displays that I 
have experience with.  You can find them in the archive and most of the info is 
still current.

I really like the braille edge and the brailliant BI, finding the build quality 
to be very high and feel of the cells and control surfaces to be very 
comfortable.

I despise the alva BC640 because I have ceen so many of them fail and because I 
don't like the feel.

I don't mind the focus blue, but have only provided training on two units.  One 
went back for cell repair three months out of the box.  The other wend back for 
cell repair directly out of the box and now six months down it is going back in 
because the keyboard won't work.  So, I am none too happy with focus right now.

Best,

Has Anyone Tried This Kids' Game, Ballyland? Where to Find Executable File in Demo?

[Teresa Cochran]

I was poking around, and found this game: ballyland.com . It's a game for kids 
with print disabilities, including visual impairment. there is a free demo, but 
the folder seems to have an app alias with no app. Anyone else get this to 
work? I'm stumped.
