Re: Airdrop again.

[Krister Ekstrom]

Hi, Airdrop doesn’t work properly on my mid 2011 IMac either. I have Do not 
disturb off or rather i have it in scheduled mode so it starts at 9.30 PM CST 
and goes until 9.00 AM CST but even when do not disturb is off, nothing happens 
and i can’t even tell my mac to communicate with all or only with older macs, 
there’s simply no button there, only a text that says that in order to 
communicate with another Mac i have to tell the other mac owner to go to the 
finder and turn on airdrop there.
On my Macbook Air from 2012 however, Airdrop works with no problems whatsoever.

Re: Airdrop again.

[Alex Hall]

Okay, have Airdrop on the iPad enabled, and set to "everyone" just in case. Now 
find the zip file on the Mac, vo-shift-m, open the Share menu, and choose 
Airdrop.

As to supported Macs, Google has tons of lists that will tell you if your 
device can handle Airdrop.

does Firefox work for us

[Scott Berry]

Hi there,

I was wondering does Firefox work for us?  If not what other browsers besides 
Safari do?  I have a college web site I go to crashing out on me when I put 
discussions in to their edit box and I have notified Apple and also the school.

Re: bootcamp question

[Jonathan C. Cohn]

 I know there have been some recent posts about bootcamp and startup so I won’t 
answer those. If you want or security of FileVault for your Macintosh disk than 
every time the computer power is turned on, you need to login via File Vault 
because the encryption key for the disk must be opened. Note that file vault 
does not really protect your system if it is running and I believe sleep mode 
is also non-protected. 

Best wishes,

Jonathan

Re: bootcamp question

[Jonathan C. Cohn]

Sorry, now I remember what else I wanted to say. 

If you turn off file vault, then the macintosh will start decrypting your 
files, and once that process is done then the Macintosh will prompt for 
UserName / Password after the OS is running so that VoiceOve and other services 
are available on the login screen.
HTH

Best wishes,

Jonathan

I have used both Firefox and Chrome with speech. Sometimes ChomeVOX  the chrome

Re: Airdrop again.

[Jonathan C. Cohn]

Could this type of transfer also be done with the new iCloud functionality? 
Perhaps we could get VoiceStream developers to create a Macintosh version that 
allows continuity transactions to transition reading from Macintosh to IOS. I 
have read a bit about the  process continuity uses to transition from machine 
to machine and certainly one of the requirements was that applications on both 
sides of the transfer require the same Vendor code.

Best wishes,

Jonathan

Re: Big news for all Microsoft Office and or iOS fans!

[Grant Hardy]

Hello Chris and list,

It’s obvious that Microsoft has put some thought into how VO accessibility 
should be implemented throughout this suite, so I hate to be too picky. 
Nevertheless, here are my first impressions of the iPhone version of Microsoft 
Office. I do not currently have access to the iPad version so I cannot comment 
on its functionality. I do, however, have an Office 365 subscription, so I have 
full access to the suite.

In the iPhone version of Word, I haven’t figured out how to do too much beyond 
basic text editing. For example, I am unable to work with tables as I can in 
Pages. I also found that navigating by line with VO could sometimes be 
unreliable in that VO would stop speaking the contents of the line under the 
cursor, but I am also experiencing this problem in some other apps while 
running iOS 8.1 so it may not be a Microsoft Word issue.

Microsoft Excel seems to be the most accessible app in the suite. There are 
custom voiceover hints built-in as well as a custom gesture: a two-finger 
double-tap to open an edit menu for a cell. I am quite impressed with my first 
tour of Excel.

Microsoft PowerPoint has clearly also had some accessibility built in, but on 
my iPhone 5s running iOS 8.1 it simply crashes too much to be usable. It is 
clear that both playing and editing presentations have great potential to work 
with VO as most of the controls speak well. I was able to open a large 
PowerPoint presentation and move through the slides and see the content of each 
slide. I was also able to select one of the text boxes in my presentation to 
begin editing it. Unfortunately, before I do much I am usually faced with the 
app crashing. At that point you have to re-launch the app and start afresh, 
only to find, at least on my device, that it crashes again before too long.

These apps integrate with a number of places for storing files including 
Dropbox, which I am very impressed with. The menu options also appear to be 
quite accessible. In short, the apps have a great foundation and with some 
improvements may turn out to be a wonderful productivity suite, but I can’t 
rely on them yet, with the exception, perhaps, of Excel.

Grant

Hi all
Yes, Microsoft Office is now available for iPhone, iPod Touch and iPad at a 
right price, absolutely free! You can download the individual apps Word, Excel

very accessible! I tried both Word and Excel and can get the basics at least 
done with full VoiceOver support! I congratulate Microsoft on their efforts, 
and hope they keep it this way and is a good sign for things to come, such as 
an accessible Office for OS X.
Enjoy!

Re: latest osx upgrade

[Shawn Krasniuk]

Hi Deedra. I have no problems here with Yosemite, just the occasional slow 
down. It's what you're comfortable to use that matters. People might recommend 
though that since you're new to the Mac, you shouldn't upgrade and then be 
learn be forced to learn another operating system.

Re: latest osx upgrade

[Phil Halton]

Deirdre, there's absolutely no need to upgrade to Yosemite yet. I'm using 
Mavericks and intend to stay with it for a while at least until Yosemite is 
upgraded and some of the bugs are ironed out. Again, don't bother worrying 
about upgrading from Mavericks yet.

Re: does Firefox work for us

[Scott Berry]

Jonothan,

Does Firefox bring up a blank window once installed and ran?  Usually in 
Windows, for example, it will bring up a page about Firefox itself.  I can 
certainly try it again.  I have reported this error to Apple twice already.  I 
am going to have to do this again.

how to add a 100 MB partition to my other partition

[Scott Berry]

Hello there,

I have a dangling 100MB partition.  I’d like to add it to my Yosemite

Re: does Firefox work for us

[Michael Marshall]

i spoke to a developer in the accessibility Department of Firefox and basically 
he told me that Windows development has priority at Firefox in terms of 
accessibility at the moment.
Personally I do not think Firefox will ever be accessible on the Mac.
Talking of browsers and accessibility has anyone noticed the reduction in 
accessibility of google crome under the new mac OS? it just seems harder to 
move around pages mind you, I think in some small ways safari has gone 
backwards, an example you ask? Try hitting command left bracket to go back 
a page, Safari never remembers your position and Voice over talks a lot of 
nonsense.

Re: latest osx upgrade

[Tim Kilburn]

Hi,

I upgraded right away and had no issues at all.  It’s entirely your choice 
though.  You don’t “have to” upgrade if you prefer to wait.  There is nothing 
other than promotions and such from within the AppStore that suggest you 
upgrade, but, you decide.  I doubt anything would “break” in your upgrade but 
you could find a few things to be a little different, most things in your day 
to day use have pretty close to the same feel though.

Later...

Decibel from sbooth.org

[christopher hallsworth]

http://sbooth.org/Decibel/#decibel

What is Decibel?

Decibel is an audio player tailored to the particular needs of audiophiles.

Decibel supports all popular lossless and lossy audio formats including FLAC, 
Ogg Vorbis, Musepack, WavPack, Monkey's Audio, Speex, True Audio, Apple 
Lossless, AAC, MP3, WAVE and AIFF.

For lossless formats such as FLAC and WAVE, and for Ogg Vorbis and specially 
tagged MP3 files, Decibel supports gapless playback with seamless transitions 
between tracks.

Decibel processes all audio using 64-bit floating-point precision, providing 
the highest possible playback quality for files sampled at all bit depths.

Decibel has an intentionally minimal user interface designed to be instantly 
intuitive and non-intrusive:



For audiophile users desiring more control over their audio, Decibel can take 
exclusive control of the output device (using hog mode) and send audio in the 
device's native format. Additionally, Decibel can automatically adjust the 
output device's sample rate to that of the playing track, preventing audio 
quality degradation associated with software sample rate conversion.

Finally, Decibel can load and play files entirely in memory, eliminating audio 
glitching associated with disk access.

Download 

The current version of Decibel is 1.3.1, released on 22 June 2014.

Decibel.zip (23 MB)

Purchase 

The full version of Decibel is available for $33. Orders are fulfilled through 
FastSpring, Feisty Dog's e-commerce provider.

 

Release Notes 

You may view the release notes in HTML.

Requirements 

Decibel requires Mac OS X 10.7 (Lion) or later.
