Re: new iPhone user

2015-04-19 Thread Shawn Krasniuk

Hi Max. Welcome to the fun world of iOS. For me I use the native Facebook app 
for Facebook. Can't tell you about Twitter because I save that for when I'm on 
my Mac. As for Sirius XM, I use Radium. People say that the native Sirius XM 
app has improved in terms of accessibility, but I like the simplicity of 
Radium. If you don't need all the stuff that the native app provides like My 
SXM and on demand programming, then Radium should be enough for you. Also for 
Trivia Crack, you can purchase an ad free app inside the app. I can't remember 
where it was since I bought it already, but it's there.

Re: accessible adobe on the mac

2015-04-19 Thread Eugenia Firth

Hello Andrew
I thought I had answered you yesterday, but it seems that for some stupid 
reason the message never got sent. I think I got a phone call in the middle 
what I was doing.
If you have version 7.1 of PDF pen pro, when you first open the file you need 
to interact with each page as you go. If you interact with each page, and I 
have only been able to figure out how to do it one page at a time, you just do 
the VO a to tell voiceover to read everything from that starting cursor 
position.
You do have to have version 7.1 I think for this to happen.
Sincerely,
Gigi

Excel navigation issues

2015-04-19 Thread Sean Murphy


All,

If you come across bugs, I think it would be excellent to share with everyone 
so we can confirm the bugs. If more people report the same bugs to MS, then 
they can prioritise the bugs accordingly.

Excel Navigation 

Excel does not scroll correctly in normal or full screen mode. If you use the 
down arrow or right arrow. The cursor will eventually stop. To fix this issue 
you have to page right or page down depending on your direction of navigation. 
Page down is when you are moving down by rows. Page right is for moving across 
the column. Likewise you have to issue page up and page left if you want to 
navigate backwards.

Steps to reproduce:

1. Interact with the  spreadsheet sheet.
2. Press the right arrow key. Eventually you will wrap to the 1st cell on the 
next row.
3. Press the down arrow key. Keep doing this until you hear the beep. This is 
as far as you can go.
4. Press the page down key and the cursor will be on the next cell. You can 
press up arrow and it will beep.

Cheers
Sean

Re: accessible adobe on the mac

2015-04-19 Thread Jonathan C. Cohn

Adobe is aware that there are issues right now. Hopefully, the next version 
will fix things. remember that Microsoft just went though a similar process. it 
is even possible that Adobe is using Microsoft .net framework for Apple 
products and the entire problem with VoiceOver lie with something outside their 
control.

Maybe a stupid question, but does a web site service like this exist?

2015-04-19 Thread Christopher-Mark Gilland

Guys,

Even if I have to pay a small fee for this, I'm very much willing to do so 
within reason, and am totally 100% prepared to do so.

Here is the very most basic of the situation  without going into a lot of 
detail.  I need to send a letter to someone.  The issue is, they do not check 
their e-mail hardly at all.  This however is a letter that needs to be written. 
 Again, I would much rather not go into the specifics.  I will however at least 
give you this much information...  no.  It's is not legal related in any way, 
and there is absolutely nothing legally binding that says I cannot write this 
person.  It's nothing like that, as much as it's just that they most likely 
99.999% chance will not see my e-mail.  Trust me.  Physically mailing a hard 
copy letter would be more reliable.  I definitely do have their address.  The 
question that I have is, I don't have a printer, and even if I did, I don't 
have a very reliable way to address the envelope.  I'd have to basically have 
someone help me do so.  The thing is, due to certain circumstances, the people 
who would help me address the letter, as well as print it out for me are very 
very nosy, and have been known in the past to read my mail, without my prior 
concent.  Yeah, I know, downright illegal.  I'm not even touching that one.  
The point is of this message, does anyone know of a web site which would be 
accessible with Voiceover that I could use to either A, type my letter directly 
into the web site, or B, upload it as a word document, or text document, etc. 
then type the address to be sent to, pay a small printing/shipping cost, 
securely check out, then have this service basically print and mail the letter 
on my behalf.  I'd say on average, this letter won't be more than probably 2, 
maybe! pushing it, 2 and a half 8 by 11 pages long.  We're not talking a huge 
huge lengthy letter here.

I don't have very good access to a public library nor post office to ask for 
help.  I'm kind a in a rural area.  Otherwise, I would.

Does anyone have any thoughts?

Chris.

No not correct

Go to;

www.microsoftoffice.com

and you find the office preview which is in beta and thqat is becoming 
accessible.

You can download and install it and use it for free until the product becomes 
full time some time this fall.

365 is a monthly subscription to get license of a product and auto updates for 
a fee of 9.95 a month or 99.00 a year.

I love it I have office on my iPhone, Ipad, mac, and windows all for the one

Re: Maybe a stupid question, but does a web site service like this exist?

2015-04-19 Thread Christopher-Mark Gilland

OK, but after looking at this page you provided, I'm slightly confused. This
looks like I upload my documents, submit them, they print them, then I go pick
them up at my nearest location. That's not quite what I'm attempting to do. I
want to never have to leave my home. I want the whole thing to be done for me.
I type up the letter, submit it, fill out the shipping to address, make my
payment, then have them print it out, and mail it for me without me having to
do anything further.

If that is exactly what this does, then let me know and I'll look into it a bit
more thoroughly.

Sorry for the confusion.

Chris.

Re: Maybe a stupid question, but does a web site service like this exist?

2015-04-19 Thread The Believer

Never leave home? Well, if you do not know anyone you can trust to
do this, you have to search out your options. Like, call your local
office supply stores and ask if they provide such a service. There are
plenty of such services online but again, it comes down to that nasty
little thing called trust. If this is so important to you and you cannot
do it any other way, you will need to find some of that trust and bite
the proverbial bullet.

Guys,

Even if I have to pay a small fee for this, I'm very much willing to
do so within reason, and am totally 100% prepared to do so.

Here is the very most basic of the situation without going into a
lot of detail. I need to send a letter to someone. The issue is,
they do not check their e-mail hardly at all. This however is a
letter that needs to be written. Again, I would much rather not go
into the specifics. I will however at least give you this much
information... no. It's is not legal related in any way, and there
is absolutely nothing legally binding that says I cannot write this
person. It's nothing like that, as much as it's just that they most
likely 99.999% chance will not see my e-mail. Trust me. Physically
mailing a hard copy letter would be more reliable. I definitely do
have their address. The question that I have is, I don't have a
printer, and even if I did, I don't have a very reliable way to
address the envelope. I'd have to basically have someone help me do
so. The thing is, due to certain circumstances, the people who
would help me address the letter, as well as print it out for me are
very very nosy, and have been known in the past to read my mail,
without my prior concent. Yeah, I know, downright illegal. I'm not
even touching that one. The point is of this message, does anyone
know of a web site which would be accessible with Voiceover that I
could use to either A, type my letter directly into the web site, or
B, upload it as a word document, or text document, etc. then type
the address to be sent to, pay a small printing/shipping cost,
securely check out, then have this service basically print and mail
the letter on my behalf. I'd say on average, this letter won't be
more than probably 2, maybe! pushing it, 2 and a half 8 by 11 pages
long. We're not talking a huge huge lengthy letter here.

I don't have very good access to a public library nor post office to
ask for help. I'm kind a in a rural area. Otherwise, I would.

Does anyone have any thoughts?

Chris.

You expect me to trust the one person who last time I trusted them with my

2000 dollars?  Um?  I don't think so!  Case in point I hope.

Best video and audio streaming app

2015-04-19 Thread Joe Quinn

What's the best app for being able to stream your video and music collection to 
your iOS device from your mac? I'm thinking about a media center, but it says 
my router is incompatible. Does thus just mean I can't stream outside my home? 
Are there better apps out there? Vlc's ok but it crashes too often for me. 
Thanks for any info you guys can give me.

 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?

Thank you thank you thank you!  This is precisely the web site I was looking

I think what you need is

You type in your letter, including address, and they print and send it in 
the country nearest to where the recipient is.

I hope this is what you need.

Importance: High

Guys,

Even if I have to pay a small fee for this, I'm very much willing to do 
so within reason, and am totally 100% prepared to do so.


Here is the very most basic of the situation  without going into a lot of 
detail.  I need to send a letter to someone.  The issue is, they do not 
check their e-mail hardly at all.  This however is a letter that needs to 
be written.  Again, I would much rather not go into the specifics.  I 
will however at least give you this much information...  no.  It's is not 
legal related in any way, and there is absolutely nothing legally binding 
that says I cannot write this person.  It's nothing like that, as much as 
it's just that they most likely 99.999% chance will not see my e-mail. 
Trust me.  Physically mailing a hard copy letter would be more reliable. 
I definitely do have their address.  The question that I have is, I don't 
have a printer, and even if I did, I don't have a very reliable way to 
address the envelope.  I'd have to basically have someone help me do so. 
The thing is, due to certain circumstances, the people who would help me 
address the letter, as well as print it out for me are very very nosy, 
and have been known in the past to read my mail, without my prior 
concent.  Yeah, I know, downright illegal.  I'm not even touching that 
one.  The point is of this message, does anyone know of a web site which 
would be accessible with Voiceover that I could use to either A, type my 
letter directly into the web site, or B, upload it as a word document, or 
text document, etc. then type the address to be sent to, pay a small 
printing/shipping cost, securely check out, then have this service 
basically print and mail the letter on my behalf.  I'd say on average, 
this letter won't be more than probably 2, maybe! pushing it, 2 and a 
half 8 by 11 pages long.  We're not talking a huge huge lengthy letter 
here.


I don't have very good access to a public library nor post office to ask 
for help.  I'm kind a in a rural area.  Otherwise, I would.


Does anyone have any thoughts?

Chris.

Chanelle,

I think that all you have to do is to go to VoiceOver utility and go to braille 
and then choose as your Braille table Russian. I've just checked and Russian 
braille is certainly one of the options available.

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

2015-04-19 Thread Eleanor Roberts

Hi Grant 

The issue you report with word on an IOS device is correct, and it would be 
great if they could sort that. 

Having said that, it's much more accessible than it was. I don't quite know 
what's going on with pages on my IOS devices, but I've just tried it for the 
first time since the IOS8.3 update and it seems to have gone mad. I was trying 
to type a document that I need to send off tomorrow, but every time I tried to 
go through it and check/edit/correct it it just wouldn't let me navigate either 
by letter or word! It went mad and took me to really random places in the 
document, or it took me out of the document completely. Has anyone else 
experience this problem?? In desperation I turned to Word, and so far (touch 
wood) it's working perfectly! But would be interested to know if anyone else 
has encountered this issue when typing/editing in Pages since the update??

Automatically enabling and disabling Quick Nav when apps gain focus

2015-04-19 Thread Edward Green

Hi,

I want to set up my Mac so that the state of the quick nav toggle is changed 
automatically when apps gain focus.  I want it to be on in Safari, and off in 
Mail.

I tried to create an activity associated with the Mail program, in which I 
disabled quick nav.  However, when Mail gains focus, the status of quick nav 
remains unchanged.  I tried to create a second one that enabled quick nav and 
associated it with Safari thinking both might need to exist, but the state of 
the quick nav toggle doesn’t change when I command tab between the two apps.

Is what I want to do possible, and should I be using activities to try and 
accomplish it? If so, does anyone have any idea what I might be doing wrong?

Thanks,

Ed

Re: iCloud drive, is it accessable

2015-04-19 Thread Alex Hall

The one thing to remember is that Dropbox has a robust website which, for the 
most part, is accessible with a screen reader. The iCloud site doesn't exactly 
have a great track record as far as accessibility, so if you do a lot of 
web-based management, Dropbox may be a good choice still. Plus, nothing says 
you can't use both. Oh, and the dropbox app lets you browse your files and 
folders and preview/open documents; there is no such app for iOS, though there 
is for the Mac (the integrated iCloud Drive folder described in the below 
message).

You type in your letter, including address, and they print and send it in

I hope this is what you need.

Importance: High

Guys,

Even if I have to pay a small fee for this, I'm very much willing to do 
so within reason, and am totally 100% prepared to do so.

Here is the very most basic of the situation  without going into a lot 
of detail.  I need to send a letter to someone.  The issue is, they do not 
check their e-mail hardly at all.  This however is a letter that needs to be 
written.  Again, I would much rather not go into the specifics.  I will however 
at least give you this much information...  no.  It's is not legal related in 
any way, and there is absolutely nothing legally binding that says I cannot 
write this person.  It's nothing like that, as much as it's just that they most 
likely 99.999% chance will not see my e-mail. Trust me.  Physically mailing a 
hard copy letter would be more reliable. I definitely do have their address.  
The question that I have is, I don't have a printer, and even if I did, I don't 
have a very reliable way to address the envelope.  I'd have to basically have 
someone help me do so. The thing is, due to certain circumstances, the people 
who would help me address the letter, as well as print it out for me are very 
very nosy, and have been known in the past to read my mail, without my prior 
concent.  Yeah, I know, downright illegal.  I'm not even touching that one.  
The point is of this message, does anyone know of a web site which would be 
accessible with Voiceover that I could use to either A, type my letter directly 
into the web site, or B, upload it as a word document, or text document, etc. 
then type the address to be sent to, pay a small printing/shipping cost, 
securely check out, then have this service basically print and mail the letter 
on my behalf.  I'd say on average, this letter won't be more than probably 2, 
maybe! pushing it, 2 and a half 8 by 11 pages long.  We're not talking a huge 
huge lengthy letter here.

I don't have very good access to a public library nor post office to 
ask for help.  I'm kind a in a rural area.  Otherwise, I would.

Does anyone have any thoughts?

Chris.

Re: Russian braille table

Perhaps I am mistaken, but I thought if you change the voice on your Mac to a

but I believe that's how it works with iOS. Change to the Russian voiceover, 
and get the Russian braille out.

Really frustrated trying to get Netflix audio description to work on either iPhone or Macbook Air with Silver Light

2015-04-19 Thread Christine Grassman

This morning I signed into Netflix on my iPhone and was able to start audio 
description after a second go at the language options menu.  However, since 
then, I cannot get it to work. I have rebooted the phone, closed the app and 
gone back in, signed out and signed back in . . . the option simply is not 
showing up.
I decided to load Silver Light on my MacBook and it installed and played just 
fine. But I could not figure out how to get to the controls, let alone the 
language options menu, if this is indeed possible on the MacBook with Silver 
Light. My son is really excited about listening to Daredevil with audio 
description. Is anyone else having this issue, and can anyone offer a solution 
or workaround?
Thanks. 
Christine

Seems to me I recall somebody else here saying that they had to call Netflix 
customer service and customer service found a flag on that person's account 
which did not permit them to access audio description.  I don't know why that 
would be but you might try, as a last resourt, signing out of all devices on 
the web site then going back in again.

I have been following this conversation. Is a OS 10.9.5 user with Silver Lite 
in Safari able to access Language Options?

Thank you all from the bottom of my heart!

2015-04-19 Thread Christopher-Mark Gilland

Guys,

I really need to extend the most heartfelt statement of gratitude to all of you 
who helped me today with my question regarding sending a postal mail from a web 
site.

I was able to sign up for L-Mail, and it appears that the job was a success.  
From what I can tell, the letter is now in the print queue waiting to be 
printed and then mailed off.

Again, I'd rather not go into the specifics, but we'll just say that because of 
me not being specific, you all probably will never know the impact you've made 
for me.  All that we will say is there will come a lot of emotional healing 
through this letter I sent.  You all might have saved a family relationship.  
Let's just leave it at that.  So again, with tears in my eyes, not trying to be 
over theatrical or dramatic here.  I really really mean it!  Thank you guys!  
You all are the best!

Have a wonderful night.  I know I sure will sleep well, now knowing that by me 
sending this letter, as hard as it was for me to do both physically, and 
mentally, I did the right thing.

OK!  Back to mac topics!  Again, God bless, and have an excellent night/day, 
wherever in the world you may reside.

Chris.

Well, Chris, as I view the situation, that's what we're here for man.  IF our 
purpose is not to help our fellow Apple users, we serve no purpose.  That's how 
I see it.  You are, of course, most welcome.

Re: Automatically enabling and disabling Quick Nav when apps gain focus

2015-04-19 Thread Jürgen Fleger

Hi Ed,

just tried it on an existing Activity of mine and it worked fine. Did you check
1. Quick Nav on in the settings of this Activity?
2. the checkbox to enable the Quick Nav settings section?
So you need to check two checkboxes then it should work. Sometimes Activities 
seem not to work for I don’t know what reason. Restarting VO should help.

All the best
Jürgen

Night Owl

2015-04-19 Thread Jürgen Fleger

Hi,

is Night Owl the only accessible twitter client for the Mac you know of?

My issues with this app: 

1. The timeline scrolls always to the top automatically and it seems to be 
insignificant which settings I’ve set. I tried different settings but it had no 
impact on this behaviour.
2. I’m not able to find a support address except for twitter accounts of the 
developers. But I’m not able to send direct messages to people who don’t follow 
me and so there’s no way to reach them.

Any ideas?

All the best
Jürgen
