audio and voiceover

[Gene Baroni]

I want to know if there is a way to have voiceover use my Mac and have audio 
use my speaker system? I spoke to the accessibility team and they were of the 
opinion it isn't possible unless you use a third party app. What do you guys 
think?

  Hi all,
  I just saw this on Twitter: Apple is now letting anyone test OS X, starting 
with 10.9.3. Please consider doing this to provide more accessibility feedback. 
I'm off to figure out how to run off a USB drive (I don't have a spare mac to 
play with and can't afford major problems on my machine). Here's the link:

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 
good.

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

Any thoughts?

Kindest regards and thanks in advance,

mac minny wireless keyboard again

Thanks to everyone's help with my keyboard problem. I had to do a remote

up the chain. He said they would probably fix it in an update.

Re: Pairing Bluetooth keyboard and Mac in Mavericks

It is a bug and the only way to fix it is to have apple remotely interact

and the tec said they would address the issue in an upcoming update.

Hi,

I'm trying to pair my Apple wireless keyboard in Mavericks. I've done all 
the obvious things like turning all other Bluetooth devices off etc, but 
when I enter the code, which is always 12345678, and press return as 
expected, I get an error saying wrong code. Am I missing something really 
obvious, or have they broken access to this?


Thanks

please either tell me about dashboard or provide me with a link to instruct me

It started out by telling me the temperature but that was all I could find even 
after I went threw the menus.
