Re: equivalent of perky duck equivalent for mac?

[Don Breda]

Perky Duck is a free program from Duxbury Systems Inc. This program was 
developed many years ago at the request of the library of congress to  
make it possible for people to take the braille certification courses 
without having to use a braillewriter.


It basicly is a perkins brailler on your computer using the sdfjkl keys 
as the 6 dots of the braille keyboard.


After you type your document you can then save the file or send it to an 
embosser if you have one.

Re: braille translation for mac?

[Don Breda]

DBT for the Madc was discontinued many years ago but there is a new 
version in the works  that is coming along very nicely now. It will be 
accessible with voiceover however that is a very tuff project and a big one.


Voiceover works great if you code from start to finish for the mac but 
if you need to have a cross platform  program that runs nearly 
identically in windows as it does on the mac then you really have your 
work cut out for you and Apple is not of much help.


It will happen though.  Hopefully in the next six months  or so.

Don

Hmmm,  K, louis isn't going to work for you.  Braille blaster might

there's no installation script.  If you want to use it then you have to
manually install liblouis and the braille blaster libraries.  The
documentation doesn't really make that clear, but I just emailed the
developer and that's the case.  So apparently the next version of braille
blaster will have an installation script, which will make it a bit more
endearing to most of us.

Hi.

It has an USB port, it is not as old, as the old ones.

It also has an eithernet port, so the best thing would be, if it could
work as a networks printer, that should be possible. Indexbraille has made
a great manual how to set the printer up on a mac, I was very happy. It
could use pef, and there are an online service that can make the pef
files, if you can not get that braille interface to libre office to work.
I could not get that thing for libre office to work, that was
inaccissible, but the e2u program, that has been made for printing out pef
files, is a javaapplication, and I can do nothing when I open the app.
Brailleblaster is also a java app, I got the same problem with that app.
  Well many things has been tried, as you can hear, but with no further
luck.

Great idea. We need to get that problem solved on the mac. I have an 4*4

I need the option to print textfiles in danish and english grade two

I would be interested to do some work on it.

Re: Hi

[Don Breda]

Hi there.

I am new to the list and don't have a mac yet but my mac mini is coming 
tomorrow.
I have been concerned about this monitor issue and only just joined the 
list so my apologies in advance for a subject that has probably been 
beaten to death.


1. Do I need to have a nomitor connected?
2. If so does it need to have power applied and if so does it need to 
actually be turned on?


3. without a monitor how does the accessibility change? Does the screen 
layout in an application change, etc.?


Thanks very much for this because I need to do some testing to make sure 
a program is accessible on the mac for my employer.

Well, the only issue I see without a monitor connected to the Mini is
you have to force VO back on with the Commend+F5 key after logging in;
minur nusince but I can live with it.  For me, it was the money.  I
bought the Mini for $695 or so where the macbooks are well over $1,000
so I went the cheapest route possible for now.  I just got into the
Mac world about 3 weeks ago so maybe in the future with more money, I
would expand the mac collection to include a powerful macbook pro or
something.

Just to note though, the lack of a monitor with a mac mini brings up
only minor inconveniences in case you're trying to save some money.

Re: Hi

Wow! Thanks for all the responses. I really appreciate it.

For now  I guess I will connect my monitor and not rely just on an 
adapter being present.


Not the worst thing in the world but like others, I hope apple fixes 
this in a future OS release.


Lets hope it doesn't require different hardware but I doubt it.

 The general consensus is that it is best to have some kind of monitor

one could get away with having just a video adaptor connected, but 
apparently, at this point, especially using Safari, there seems to be 
a lot of lag and slow down to lead most to believe a monitor is the 
best solution.

Re: Airplay weirdness with iPhone running iOS 9 .2

I have had this happen.

Use your roter and you will find audio destination.

Swipe up or down to set the audio route for voiceover where you really 
want it.


This will fix the problem.

What might cause it? If I turn voiceover off and back on shall I expect it to

to be another aspect of the bug that has entered the iOS echo system with iOS 
9. Bluetooth doesn't act right. Sound volume fluctuates. Bluetooth earpieces 
stop working. It's just screwed up. Apple needs to fix it, but it is all over 
the place. And they always say it is device specific. I don't believe that for 
a minute.
