some really handy Facebook shortcuts

[Donna Goodin]

Hi all,

this week's issue of Flying Blind mentioned an AccessWorld article about FB 
accessibility.  I didn't know about many of these shortcut keys, and boy do 
they make using FB a lot snappier!  The link to Accessworld is:
http://www.afb.org/aw/main.asp 

 
Then just navigate to the FB article.
Cheers,

Re: Help needed with DJay pro

[Bill Gallik]

I want to post a sincere “Thank You” to Scott for directing me to the DJAY 
Podcast, that helped tremendously!

In addition to this though, I want to confess my temporary mental meltdown upon 
initially launching DJAY Pro; seems I got myself into “System Preferences” for 
DJAY and totally spaced out that I was not in the main user dialog window.  One 
big “DUH” for me!

Re: Ableton for mac.

[Yuma Decaux]

Hi Anders,

Logic pro is accessible. You can go to the logic VIP google mailing list to get 
more information about it.

I’ve tried contacting ableton a few years back to ask to make it accessible, 
but I have no idea where it is right now. It would be something of a revolution 
if that was indeed accessible.

Cheers,

audio description for HBO Now?

[Jenine Stanley]

This may be a silly question but I’m enjoying my free month of HBO Now and 
would also like to take advantage of any audio description available. I know 
that there’s audio description for Game Of Thrones as the audio is posted to 
the Blind Mice Mart Movies site shortly after the season ends. Is this just a 
feature for our British friends or can I access it here? If so, how? I’m using 
an Apple TV and iPhone to access HBO Now.

Re: some really handy Facebook shortcuts

[Buddy Brannan]

One small correction. The shortcuts, where the article says to access with 
ctrl+option+whatever, just press ctrl+shortcut key. Ctrl+option+shortcut 
doesn't work...it's just ctrl. This definitely makes Facebook somewhat less of 
a pain in the ass.

Re: Help needed with DJay pro

[Scott Davert]

Bill.
Glad it was helpful. This has me reconsidering my now defunked mixing
career. I was quite heavily involved with DJing and electronic music
several years back, before we had all of these options that were
mainly accessible and before I ever used VoiceOver on the Mac. All my
mixing was done on Windows software, but there wasn't the braille
display support I needed to continue working with the software options
I was looking at.

Best of luck,
Scott

Converting from pages to office for submission in college classroom

[Pamela Francis]

Hi folks,
I'm asking this question in my daughters behalf.
She has had a Mac for the past three years  recently purchased a new computer 
in order to have access to  office  in order to submit her schoolwork online to 
her respective  teachers. My question is twofold   Does office for Mac come in 
a student edition as does the Microsoft equivalent? If not, does anyone know of 
extensions that will allow her to convert her work from pages to word? I may be 
a bit late with these questions as she went out to purchase an HP computer for 
the sole purpose of gaining access to Microsoft office. Hopefully I can find 
the answers for her in order that she can ultimately take it back, allowing her 
to use the copy of pages she has to continue her schoolwork. Accessibility is 
not an issue as she is  cited..  She called me yesterday totally unfamiliar 
with Windows 8, frustrated; etc. I couldn't help her, as I know nothing about 
Windows 8.  Any help anyone can offer would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in 
advance

Pam Francis

Re: Navigating safari in iOS.

[Tim Kilburn]

Hi,

For #1, down in the lower right of the Safari screen is a button labelled 
Pages, activate that then you will have all the open pages listed for you.  
There is a close button connected with each.Regarding all the FaceBook 
questions, I find the FaceBook app much easier to navigate than doing it on the 
web, so can’t really answer those questions other than to say that you’d have a 
much easier time accomplishing those tasks in the iOS FaceBook app.

Hey all. So, continuing my whacky experiments with a Bluetooth keyboard, I 
fired up safari in iOS. Any docs/podcasts on working in it? In case there 
aren't, here are a couple specifics.

1. How do you close a page?

The rest of these are all Facebook:

2. How do you get back to a page? For example, suppose I click on the 
notifications button and it says I have comments on three of my posts. I click 
on the first comment somebody's made, then I want to get out of that and back 
to the notifications, to see the next comment somebody's made.

3. Can you use edit fields? I tried to write a comment on a post. When I click 
in the field, either with up and down arrows or VO-space, it says "quicknav 
off" like it should, but when I start typing, it tries to jump me around the 
page, I think 'h' was doing a heading navigation for example.

I know there are other features in safari on iOS I've forgotten about like the 
reader thingy, because I honestly haven't used safari much. So a general guide 
would be handy, if anybody's got one. Thanks!

Re: Converting from pages to office for submission in college classroom

[Tim Kilburn]

Hi,

Yes, at least in Canada, there is education pricing for the Office for Mac 
suite and it is considerably less expensive.  I can’t imagine that US customers 
would have it any different.  Regarding exporting Pages documents to Word, this 
functionality is built right in to Pages.  Make sure that your Pages document 
is saved, then go up to the File menu, down to Export, right and down to Word 
in the sub-menu.  Follow the prompts and you’ll have a Word (.docx) document 
just as simple as that.

a student edition as does the Microsoft equivalent? If not, does anyone know of 
extensions that will allow her to convert her work from pages to word? I may be 
a bit late with these questions as she went out to purchase an HP computer for 
the sole purpose of gaining access to Microsoft office. Hopefully I can find 
the answers for her in order that she can ultimately take it back, allowing her 
to use the copy of pages she has to continue her schoolwork. Accessibility is 
not an issue as she is  cited..  She called me yesterday totally unfamiliar 
with Windows 8, frustrated; etc. I couldn't help her, as I know nothing about 
Windows 8.  Any help anyone can offer would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in

Re: audio description for HBO Now?

[Brent Harding]

Hi there! How accessible is HBO Now on iOS? I don't know if Game of Thrones 
is described for HBO in the states because the only thing that has working 
description is my parents' DirecTV, and they don't subscribe to HBO. I 
thought about going with this trial since it would be at least $12 cheaper 
than Time Warner per month when you factor in having to pay that for a box 
each month.

This may be a silly question but I’m enjoying my free month of HBO Now and 
would also like to take advantage of any audio description available. I know 
that there’s audio description for Game Of Thrones as the audio is posted to 
the Blind Mice Mart Movies site shortly after the season ends. Is this just 
a feature for our British friends or can I access it here? If so, how? I’m

Re: audio description for HBO Now?

[Jenine Stanley]

The “Play” button is not accessible with VO on the iOS app for HBO Now, in this 
version anyway. You have to turn off VO and tap the screen to get things to 
play. thanks to the other lister who gave me that tip. 

It’s much more accessible on the Apple TV. 

On the phone though you can binge watch as episodes of a series will play in 
order without stopping. I haven’t figured out how to do this on the TV yet. 
Other than the play button issue, the iOS app is accessible as far as I’ve used 
it. I haven’t gotten Air Play to work
 but that’s not anything new. Jenine Stanley

That's an OS X bug, or perhaps a poorly implemented feature. What you have to

Re: audio description for HBO Now?

[Brent Harding]

Maybe from the control center it will work. I've been able to airplay 
Meerkat streams this way, but it might be some copy protection junk at play 
there. As for Netflix, you have to rangle with getting audio description 
turned on with each episode, and sometimes it quits appearing. I wouldn't 
advise trying to find it on Spanish, French, or German over there because it 
just might make the screen that language, and then you have a real mess.

Re: They did it! They did it!

[Rich Ring]

This is great news! It’s not that pages isn’t a fine app, but work places for 
whatever reason generally use Microsoft products and, if this progress is 
meaningful, and thus far, it appears to be, it could lead to more Macs in the 
work place. My four sighted friends who are Mac users all use Microsoft office 
for the Mac, I’m just happy to see the needs of blind users are at last being 
considered.
One question for  you all, how does one access the ribbon? I am not seeing a 
ribbon, and I have used the toggle ribbon command with no results. I see no 
ribbon on the screen.

certainly by ab, suh, lootly! no means up to par with ProTools.  That, I'll 
give ya, but don't go around saying Logic doesn't work.  I've used it in a 
studio environment, and though it was limited the things I could accessibly 
do, I was indeed independently able to bang out a session.  Did I say it was 
fun?  Heavens no!  But! it was doable, and that is the point.


I've never heard of the software you suggested, but how about Reaper from

http://www.reaper.com

in combination with Asara and SWF.

http://www.reaperaccess.com

Put all 3 together, you're only looking at $60.00.

And, Reaper is quite accessible on the mac, once you get SWF and Asara both 
installed.


I'm still primarily a ProTools guy, by far and away, but I have been 
exploring Reaper quite a bit more, and to be frankly honest, I'm incredibly 
impressed at what I've so far seen.

Re: Office 365.

[Christopher-Mark Gilland]

We've had this discussion on list with about 5 or 10 people answerring this 
question.  Yes.


Let me just for the record make something clear again for the 10th or so 
time.  Not that I mind doing so, as much as I'm just stating the fact that 
this has been answered already not just once or twice, but quite a few 
times.  Anyway, remember, Office 3 65 has absolutely nothing! and did I 
mention nothing! to do with accessibility.  Ab, suh, lootly? nothing!  All 
Office 3 65 is is simply a cheaper way for you to get what you'd normally 
pay several hundred dollars to get Microsoft office up front.  Instead of 
paying for an office license, you're basically renting your license for a 
monthly $10.00USD fee.  In other words, as long as you keep paying that $10 
fee, your license will keep working.


It's tied to your Microsoft live ID, and if you don't have one, then you can 
create one for free.  This is the same e-mail and password you use to sign 
into all other Microsoft products and services.  The term Office 3 65 is 
nothing more than the name of the flat rate monthly subscription.


Whether you pay monthly for Office via Office 3 65, or! you simply just pay 
outright for a license, nothing as far as the actual software is concerned 
will change or be any different.


It's kind of like saying you're on a 200 minute plan with free nights and 
weekends no data, no texting, vs. your on the 2GB data family share value 
plan, unlimited text unlimited talk.  Whether you're on that 200 minute 
plan, or the data family share value, either way, you're still on the same 
cellular network.  It's just a plan difference.  The plan difference though 
isn't going to change how you use Talks, Mobile Squeak, Talkback, Narator, 
Voiceover, etc.  Same principle concept here.  Office 3 65 is the name of a 
plan which gives you Microsoft Office software for one month for the cost of 
$10.00.


Does that make more sense?  I hope so!

Re: audio description for HBO Now?

[Christopher-Mark Gilland]

I actually have quite a predicament.  I signed up for a trial to HBO Now, 
using my Apple TV.  The issue is, it never when creating the account and 
setting up the ITunes subscription asked me for a password.  Now, I can't 
log in from the I O S app, because I don't know what my password is.  It's 
not my ITunes password.  I already tried that.  I think they e-mailed me a 
randomly generated password, but I never got the e-mail.  When I go to 
forgot password, they e-mail the reset link to me, but apparently my e-mail 
provider keeps eating it.  No, this provider I use isn't GMail.  For 
security reasons, being I normally only use this e-mail address for my apple 
ID, I'd rather not reveal which provider it is, but I will say I've gone in 
on the webmail side and have made sure it wasn't in spam or junk, and it's 
not.


So, how do I fix this issue?  I can't just create another trial 
subscription, and if I cancel this subscription, then, I won't have the 
ability of getting another trial down the road.


Is there any way I can contact HBO Now and have them help me out?  It's 
looking like I'm gonna have to somehow change the e-mail address I used when 
registerring.  But, I can't do that, if I don't have my password.

The “Play” button is not accessible with VO on the iOS app for HBO Now, in

It’s much more accessible on the Apple TV.

On the phone though you can binge watch as episodes of a series will play 
in order without stopping. I haven’t figured out how to do this on the TV 
yet. Other than the play button issue, the iOS app is accessible as far as 
I’ve used it. I haven’t gotten Air Play to work

That's really weird, as the ribbon definitely is there when I use it.  Stop

tried it over here after running the software udpater, and let me tell you all 
what!  Oh! my? god!  I was able to navigate both the menu bar, and the ribbon 
both perfectly, and also was able to read and edit a word document as well.  I 
even! managed to add some formatting, and do a vo+T to read font and formatting 
style.  Even? that! worked flawlessly!  Guys? if you haven't already done so?  
As much as we all bitched at Microsoft to get this working, they've? done it!  
We so! so! need to call their accessibility helpdesk, I don't care if you're a 
Microsoft hater or not.  I can't say I'm the most fond of them myself, however, 
this is exceptional!  I know we had to beat 'em over the head, but that's not 
the point.  The point is, they finally did it, and for that reason alone, we 
need to let them know how much we appreciate it, so that they don't lag on 
things going forward.  This could be a wonderful! wonderful! step moving 
forward.  I really mean it guys!

Let's all call them, and thank them profusely! for there efforts.  I 
wouldn't let them off the hook about them not listenning in the past, but don't 
rub that in their face.  Let's move forward.  It sounds to me like maybe? 
they're finally getting the hint.  This gby far is the best update I ever! have 
yet seen them do.  The guy I spoke with today at the accessibility desk was 
tickled to death to hear such great news, and said he'd pass on the good news 
to the devs.  I told him, what ever! they do, do? not! touch that document 
preview window in Word.  They have it working flawlessly now.  Don't! break it! 
 He told me he promised me he would put that plee request in the note to them.

If you all call them, I'd be very very curious what they say to you, if you 
don't mind sharing.

Anyway, they are opened at this department 24/7, and out of all the times 
that I have called them, never even once! have I gotten a foreigner who 
couldn't hobble english.

Suffice it to say, I'm jumping for joy!  Pages is great, don't get me 
wrong, please please don't, but the fact that now Office is becoming accessible 
too?  You can't begin! to know the doors this can, and probably will! open.

Does that make more sense?  I hope so!

nothing!  All
Office 3 65 is is simply a cheaper way for you to get what you'd 
normally

pay several hundred dollars to get Microsoft office up front. Instead of
paying for an office license, you're basically renting your license 
for a
monthly $10.00USD fee.  In other words, as long as you keep paying 
that $10

fee, your license will keep working.

It's tied to your Microsoft live ID, and if you don't have one, then 
you can
create one for free.  This is the same e-mail and password you use to

into all other Microsoft products and services.  The term Office 3 65 is
nothing more than the name of the flat rate monthly subscription.

Whether you pay monthly for Office via Office 3 65, or! you simply 
just pay
outright for a license, nothing as far as the actual software is 
concerned

will change or be any different.

It's kind of like saying you're on a 200 minute plan with free nights

Re: Office 365.

[Christopher-Mark Gilland]

I know one thing:  I just submitted a bug report.  At the end, it says this 
survey is conducted by Com Store marketting research.  I damn well hope they 
don't start calling me trying to market things to me, or give me those 
stupid phone calls like Do you wanna go back to school?  Apparently they 
collect data on behalf of Microsoft, so God only knows where things are 
really first hand going before MS sees them.


I gave my phone number, just in case they need to follow up.  Now, I'm kind 
a wishing I hadn't done so.

VoiceOver volume is down

[Antonio Guimaraes]

Hello,

My Voiceover speaking volume is going down for no apparent reason.

I have  an earPod headset plugged in.

The volume seems to come back when I press back space, as when typing this 
message right now. I am not sure what makes it go in and out. I am in a noisy 
environment. I can only imagine some noise-canceling feature is activated.

However, only the VoiceOver speaking volume is affected. Media, and effects are 
not.

Perplexed,

Antonio Guimaraes

About Garageband Mac

[Daniela Rubio]

Hello:
I have some questions for GB experts.
Question 1.
Can we, in an accessible way, establish a certain region, from bar x to bar y 
to reproduce as a loop?
I can see that it might be done by the ruler, but I can’t see that Ruler. If I 
want to do it, the loop always is set up in the region from bar 1 to bar 4. How 
can I move that?

Question 2.
Is there a way to go to the end of the project with a shortcut as we could do 
before?

Question 3.
How can we set ut an area of track automatization, for example, to change pan 
or volume? Is this accessible?
Thank you for your helpful aid!

Re: Navigating safari in iOS.

[John Schucker]

I probably would, but I can't get the FB app, as the minimum 
requirements are iOS 7, and I'm running 6.whatever. That's the latest my 
iPod touch will take. I tried clicking the "all versions" link in iTunes 
or whatever it is to see if I could get at an older version, but it 
didn't really seem to actually change anything. If you know of a way to 
get an older version, I'd surely appreciate it.


Thanks for the Safari tip, see I totally forgot about that. Is the 
reader just a button as well? You know the thing that strips links and 
such out of articles?

Hi,

For #1, down in the lower right of the Safari screen is a button labelled 
Pages, activate that then you will have all the open pages listed for you.  
There is a close button connected with each.Regarding all the FaceBook 
questions, I find the FaceBook app much easier to navigate than doing it on the 
web, so can’t really answer those questions other than to say that you’d have a 
much easier time accomplishing those tasks in the iOS FaceBook app.

Hey all. So, continuing my whacky experiments with a Bluetooth keyboard, I

1. How do you close a page?

The rest of these are all Facebook:

2. How do you get back to a page? For example, suppose I click on the 
notifications button and it says I have comments on three of my posts. I click 
on the first comment somebody's made, then I want to get out of that and back 
to the notifications, to see the next comment somebody's made.

3. Can you use edit fields? I tried to write a comment on a post. When I click in the 
field, either with up and down arrows or VO-space, it says "quicknav off" like 
it should, but when I start typing, it tries to jump me around the page, I think 'h' was 
doing a heading navigation for example.

I know there are other features in safari on iOS I've forgotten about like the 
reader thingy, because I honestly haven't used safari much. So a general guide 
would be handy, if anybody's got one. Thanks!

Re: Help needed with DJay pro

[Yuma Decaux]

Hey Scott,

Never stop it. I used to Deejay before I lost sight but couldn’t stop going. 
Now my rig’s quite messy because of the number of things I’ve connected to my 
setup but I use Logic pro x and deejay in concert with a bunch of controllers 
and instruments. Deejay can be placed as a channel in logic pro x with 
controllers assigned to deejay controls and others to logic pro x controls. I 
would recommend to anyone to use controllers. The initial mapping setup is a 
nightmare to do, test and retest but once you got it, there’s nothing more 
entertaining and fun + you can do things very quickly instead of voing around 
with standard keys.

Controllerizm beats typing everytime.

Cheers,

Eloquence for the Mac.

[sadamahmed1992]

I know there are ways of running the above synthesiser on a Mac. 

But it's horribly unstable. 

Putting aside the Infovox voices are there any text to speech products that can 
be used on OS X that rival eloquence for responsiveness? 

Kind regards,

Re: the reminders app

[Robin]

Are you or anyone using Siri able to have Siri 
Set a Reminder such as, Remind Me to say "Happy 
Birthday" to "my sweety" (insert your sweety's name)? Just Wondering


You could interchange "Happy Birthday" for 
anything such as, "Happy Mother's Day", "Congratulations forr ...", ETC.


I know for a fact this can be performed on other 
MobilePlatforms with their respective Personal 
Assistants at least 1 MobilePlatform

you can paste the loop at the 4 bar instead, by going to the control bar  then 
control bar then interact to play head position .

How To Make Your Mac Chime When You Plug It In

[Alex Hall]

Hi all,
I saw this today and thought it was pretty cool. I tried it, and it worked; my 
Mac now plays the familiar chime we all know and love from iOS when it gets 
plugged in. In other words, my phone and Mac now play the same sound when I 
hook them to power. No, it's not necessary, but I really like it and it's just 
one command I could undo if I ever wanted to. Here's how to do this (remember, 
you need OS X 10.10.3 or newer):

What on earth is going on with verifying billing info in iTunes store on my Macbook with Yosemite?

[Christine Grassman]

I purchased and downloaded a few things from the app store on my iPhone earlier 
with no problem. Just now, however, when I attempted to renew a subscription, I 
was asked in the iTunes store, on my MacBook, to verify the billing info. It is 
showing the correct final  four digits for my credit card, and is giving me two 
pop-up menus for month and year. Nothing I do is enabling me to select month 
and year; there are a series of bullets in each field, so I don’t know whether 
they are filled in already and just not showing. Then there is an empty edit 
box for the security code. Am I supposed to assume the month and year are 
correct, tab past and just fill in the security code? 
TIA.

I understand that, but there is no way for me to tell whether what they have is 
correct if I cannot read the month and year, and/or cannot move to the correct 
month and year because the pop-up menu is not working.

Re: audio description for HBO Now?

[Brent Harding]

Of course not, but since I have the preferred package, or whatever it is 
that likely would have few channels that aren't available without a box, it 
doesn't make sense to pay extra for the box if all I wanted beyond my 
package was HBO since HBO Now is available online. Another benefit lots 
didn't think of is that you can, through iTunes, cancel and resubscribe any 
month you want without the $5 setup fees cable might charge, so if you watch 
for specific things that come and go, you can do that.

Yeah, but HBO now isn't gonna necessarily have all the same content that
you'd find with Time Warner Cable.  For example:  I highly highly doubt that
you'd find Dr. Phil on HBO Now.

Hi there! How accessible is HBO Now on iOS? I don't know if Game of Thrones
is described for HBO in the states because the only thing that has working
description is my parents' DirecTV, and they don't subscribe to HBO. I
thought about going with this trial since it would be at least $12 cheaper
than Time Warner per month when you factor in having to pay that for a box
each month.

This may be a silly question but I’m enjoying my free month of HBO Now and
would also like to take advantage of any audio description available. I know
that there’s audio description for Game Of Thrones as the audio is posted to
the Blind Mice Mart Movies site shortly after the season ends. Is this just
a feature for our British friends or can I access it here? If so, how? I’m
using an Apple TV and iPhone to access HBO Now.

Help please! My MacBook is not turning on

[Ezzie Bueno]

Hello friends:

The subject says it, my MacBook is not turning on, despite the charger being 
plugged in. The last time I used it, I only shut the lid for the night and the 
next day it wouldn't power on. I plugged it into the charger thinking that it 
might have died, but it still doesn't turn on. I've tried using different 
outlets, and different chargers and I get no results. What advice do you have 
for me that I could try? And by the way, this is a MacBook Pro 2012.
Any help is greatly appreciated. :-)

Thanks,
Ezzie

Are you sure it's not turning on? Could speech just be muted?
Do you hear anything when you command tab around?

Re: Converting from pages to office for submission in college classroom

[Grant Hardy]

Lately, Microsoft has been giving Office 365 subscriptions away to students for 
free, provided you attend an eligible school. You generally need to enter your 
school’s Email address to confirm eligibility. My understanding is that this is 
supposed to be a worldwide offer. Details may be found here: 
http://products.office.com/en-us/student?tab=students

The current shipping version of Office for Mac is not accessible with VoiceOver 
but it appears that the next version of Office will be more accessible. 
Microsoft is offering a public preview of the next version of Office for Mac 
right now, and the latest preview build offers pretty good, basic VoiceOver 
accessibility in Word. If your daughter wants to switch to Office, give the 
Preview a go and see if it meets her needs. You can find more information about 
the preview here: https://products.office.com/en-us/mac/mac-preview

That said, as Tim stated, you don’t have to switch away from Pages for the sole 
reason of wanting to save in Word format. You can export to Microsoft Word 
format from within any Pages document. The option is under the export submenu, 
found in the file menu.

Lastly, if for whatever reason you need to fall back to Windows in the future, 
you don’t need to purchase a separate computer. You can install Windows on the 
same Mac machine you already use. You might have to buy Windows from the 
Microsoft Store if you don’t already have a license, but this should be cheaper 
and more convenient than buying a whole new PC. Here’s an article from 
Microsoft explaining Boot Camp. The article references Windows 7, but it 
includes a link to the Microsoft Store where you can buy Windows 8. 
https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/kb/2647609

Best,

Grant

Hi folks,
I'm asking this question in my daughters behalf.
She has had a Mac for the past three years  recently purchased a new computer

her respective  teachers. My question is twofold   Does office for Mac come in 
a student edition as does the Microsoft equivalent? If not, does anyone know of 
extensions that will allow her to convert her work from pages to word? I may be 
a bit late with these questions as she went out to purchase an HP computer for 
the sole purpose of gaining access to Microsoft office. Hopefully I can find 
the answers for her in order that she can ultimately take it back, allowing her 
to use the copy of pages she has to continue her schoolwork. Accessibility is 
not an issue as she is  cited..  She called me yesterday totally unfamiliar 
with Windows 8, frustrated; etc. I couldn't help her, as I know nothing about 
Windows 8.  Any help anyone can offer would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in 
advance

Re: Help please! My MacBook is not turning on

[Tim Kilburn]

Hi,

It could be stuck in state that doesn’t recognize the power on request.  Hold 
down the power button for 5 to 10 seconds then release.  Wait at least 30 
seconds after that then try to power it on again.  See if that does the trick.  
Let us know the results and there are other things to do before giving up.

Later...

Matt, remember that you need to be running 10.10.3. You also need to have the 
syntax precisely right, including the ampersand at the end, the semicolon, the 
capitalization, and so on. It may well not work on older machines, I'm not

For clarification does the syntax include the Greater than and less
than symbols that are shown? I know sometimes symbolsare there to set
it off but not part of the syntax so asking before I jump into this.

RE: How To Make Your Mac Chime When You Plug It In

[M. Taylor]

Hello Alex,

Thanks for this.  It's pretty nifty.

Now, if we could only get VoiceOver to say, "Screen Locked" when one locks the 
screen on the Mac; making it consistent with the iOS experience. (smile).

When the bottom row of apps, in iOS, began being preceded by the word "doc" I 
thought it would only be a matter of time before locked screen would be 
announced in OSX.

I know there are ways of running the above synthesiser on a Mac. 

But it's horribly unstable. 

Putting aside the Infovox voices are there any text to speech products that can 
be used on OS X that rival eloquence for responsiveness?

Re: Help please! My MacBook is not turning on

[Ezzie Bueno]

Hi:

I've tried the suggestions that you guys sent me, including everything that's 
in the online support article. Unfortunately, my MacBook will still not turn 
on. The speech is not muted, as I can tell that the light on my screen is it 
coming on. I also have the control F 11 and F 12 Comanced make sounds when I 
increase and decrease the volume, as that is how I can sometimes tell whether 
my computer is on and I'm just turned off voiceover for the use of someone 
else. I hear no chime or anything when I try powering up the computer. I guess 
I'm going to have to visit the Apple Store, which is always a nightmare! LOL.

Any further suggestions would be appreciated. :-)

I don't recall seeing those symbols in the command. It should be on its own

Re: Help please! My MacBook is not turning on

[Tim Kilburn]

Hi,

One last thing before going to the Apple Store.  Try an SMC reset.  To 
accomplish this, plug in your power adaptor to the wall and to your MBP.  Hold 
down the left-side shift-control-option keys at the same time as pressing the 
power button.  Release them all.  Wait about five seconds then try the power 
again.  If that doesn’t do anything, then it sounds like it may be the logic 
board and that means a trip to the Apple Store or Apple Authorized Service 
Provider.  Not good news either.  I’ll stop there.

Later...

Re: How To Make Your Mac Chime When You Plug It In

[Tim Kilburn]

Hi,

It works on an early 2011 MBP.  Now if I could figure out how to make it chime 
if it got unplugged too, just in case it accidentally gets pulled out.

Later...

Re: Eloquence for the Mac.

[Joe Quinn]

I don't think this will be doable because I can't  get the wine.app.  Anybody 
have it? Even when I go to the homepage, the download link for the wine app 
don't seem to exist. And the one that is in the README file simply isn't found.

Cant' access help menu in Microsoft Word for mac

[Andrew Lamanche]

Hi Listers,

I've successfully installed Microsoft Word on my macbook pro.  When I go to the 
menubar and voiceover to the help menu, I can find the search field, I can type 
the search term, but I can't seem to read any results.  There's a table there 
but it appears to be empty or voiceover reads just "image"  and I can't 
activate anything there.  By the way, I don't see the "check for update" item 
in the help menu either.  Is this regular?

Many thanks

Andrew

RE: How To Make Your Mac Chime When You Plug It In

[M. Taylor]

Hello Joe,

ON a Mac notebook, running Yosemite, you may lock the screen by simply pressing 
the power button for approximately one 
second.  There is no audio feedback, indicating that the screen has been 
successfully locked.  Please note that pressing the power button for longer 
than one second will cause the Shutdown prompt to appear.  

Press almost any key on the notebook to unlock the screen.

Re: Eloquence for the Mac.

[sadam Ahmed]

This is for Joe  who asked about elequence for the Mac earlier. 

I found the Wine app in my dropbox. 

URL: 

https://www.dropbox.com/sh/55upammgeigwvq8/AADX6J8-EPrqnxwvWDOMOgUca?dl=0 
. 

I’ve given him feedback so here’s hoping he fixes some of the latency. 

Kind regards,

Re: Eloquence for the Mac.

[Sabahattin Gucukoglu]

The Wine translation is so fragile as to be pointless IMO.

I agree: I wish Apple would just acknowledge that formant synthesis has some 
merit, and let third parties join the fun.  Tell Apple you think so, and 
perhaps they’ll listen.  Somehow though, I feel fairly sure that politics 
and/or stalwart loyalism will keep it from actually happening.  Hey, there’s 
already Fred if you insist on staying in the past, and Alex is really awesome …

How do I go about installing Microsoft Office on to my Mac?

[Eleanor Roberts]

Hi list 

Please forgive my ignorance and hope you can help me. I've currently got Office 
365 running on my IPad and IPhone so I can use Word etc. However, having read 
recent e-mails and seeing how accessible Office for Mac seems to have become 
I'm quite keen to try and install it on my Mac tooo. So was wondering if anyone 
could send me sone instructions on how I go about installing it please? Also, 
bearing in mind I'm already paying for Office 365, will I need to create a new 
account for my Mac?, or will I be able to use the same one? 

I'm also quite keen to do this as I have an interview on Monday, and think it'd 
be great to be able to tell them that I can successfully use Word etc on my Mac 
as well as my IPad. 

So any help anyone can give with this on how to install the programme would be 
much appreciated. 

Many thanks. 

Eleanor

Re: How do I go about installing Microsoft Office on to my Mac?

[sadamahmed1992]

Hi Eleanor, 

You can access the preview at the below link: 

http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/p/?LinkId=523849. 

Once it's downloaded open the file and proceed with the regular software 
installation. 

Then open word and use your screen reader commands to check for updates. 

Relaunch word from the doc or applications folder and you should be good to go. 

Regarding Office 365 I don't believe you need to pay again. 

Kind regards, 

Sadam Mohammed Ahmed

Re: How To Make Your Mac Chime When You Plug It In

[christopher hallsworth]

I did it just now. You paste in the window that has keyboard focus when 
Terminal first opens. I had to look it up in the edit menu, since on the other 
platform with its own command prompt the paste command there doesn't work. On 
the mac, it's different and in fact easier. The regular paste command, 
command-v, does work.
