Retrieving images from KNFB Reader
Does anyone know of a way to get the image files from the KNFB Reader app? There is a command to view original image but I actually need to get copies of those original images prior to OCR and conversion. I don’t see any way to do this but maybe I’m missing something.

Re: Help with Abby fine reader
Hi, To install the app, yes, copy the file to your applications folder and press command-o to open it. the app should then install itself. If you don’t have a scanning device plugged into your Mac, you will just see the computer itself listed under devices. First You will see an area called New Task. This will be at the far left. Your cursor and focus will land on the Title area which should show your computer. Use VO-Right arrow to move to the Convert to Word button. Once you activate this button, you will be taken to a standard Open file dialog where you can choose the file you want to convert. There are also several options in this dialog for how you want that file to be processed. Hope that helps get you started.

question about Google Docs and iOS 9.3.4
I updated my work phone, a 5S to iOS 9.3.4. I receved a document via email attachment and wanted to put it over in Google docs. This option no longer appears on my share sheets, either from email, DropBox or anywhere else. I can open google Docs and see the files I already have but can’t seem to transfer anything.

renaming or relabeling apps on the home screen
I have 2 apps with the same name and want to be able to tell them apart if I list them both on the Home screen. One is the stock Apple Mail app and the other is the Voice Dream Mail app. I’m using iOS10 beta 3. Is there any way to change what VO reads as the app name? Thanks.

Re: Using MS Word and Excel on the Mac
Thanks for this analysis. I need to try Word again on my MBP. I have Office 360, or is that 365? I can never keep that one in my head. Anyway, I tried Word initially and couldn’t get the VO cursor out of the header. I wasn’t making any progress with Excel either an d I use it daily for what I consider mini data bases, i.e., spreadsheets that are laid out as tables and that can be sorted and parsed like a database. I do like Outlook mail on the Mac but need to use it more often as it’s not exactly intuitive. The other thing I do is to access our network drive much like you would with windows Explorer, which is what I use now to do so. I just exchange files on that drive and draw from it current versions of my spreadsheets which are updated each night.

Re: Travel bluetooth keyboard recommendations?
Alex, short of the Apple bluetooth keyboard, I use the Logitech K480. It can pair with 3 devices, which I like, and is fairly sturdy. I’ve had no issues with mine and have dropped it at least once on a tile floor. the cover doesn’t feel particularly sturdy but it’s better than it feels. The key action is awesome as well and the way the spaces between keys are covered makes it hard to get stuff down in between keys. It also has a little stand area along the back top for iPad/iPhone if not in an Otterbox case. It’s about 11.5 inches wide, 8 inches long and about half an inch thick. It takes 2 Double A batteries, which last a ridiculously long time.

Re: Travel bluetooth keyboard recommendations?
The Logitech keyboard I mentioned has a mechanical, and very tactile, on-off switch on the back. It also can pair with iOS or Windows devices by way of a switch on the front.

Re: Here is the Text of the User Manual for the Nearby Explorer, for iOS, GPS Navigation App
Thanks David, you beat me to this one. Also, what we have to remember regarding GPS is that any app, yes even the blindness specific ones, used in real time assumes you are in the middle of the street, rather than on a sidewalk. This is how the maps are designed which are at the heart of every GPS program. There are apps, like Key Nav for the BrailleNote series of products, PC Maps and I’m sure others, that allow you to explore in a virtual mode which does put you on one side or other of a street to a point. again, these are only as accurate as the maps.

Re: Here is the Text of the User Manual for the Nearby Explorer, for iOS, GPS Navigation App
At the risk of also being condescending, I’ll chime in here. Nearby Explorer does identify which side of the street the destination is on if it can do so. There are some address schemes which do not make this possible. Sometimes it’s also recorded incorrectly when the mappers put in geocodes for things like points of interest. I’d wager that your other GPS solution gets it wrong at least a couple times, but maybe not in the immediate areas where you use it. to answer your question/train of thought though, Nearby Explorer does provide this information when possible.

Re: Here is the Text of the User Manual for the Nearby Explorer, for iOS, GPS Navigation App
Not to defend Mike, as he can do that himself, but he didn’t realize that the app does indeed identify POIs when possible with the side of street information included. He made a correction on the Nearby Explorer lists to his assumption. I’m sure he’ll go back in and correct the podcast or have an adendum for it.

Intro
Hello List, I'm Jenine Stanley from Columbus, Ohio. I've been using adaptive computer equipment since 1988 but got my first Mac, an MBP, about a month ago. I'm doing some word processing and want to resume audio editing and production with this machine. My husband is also getting an iMac this week. He is a combination large print and speech user and I am totally blind. Looking forward to tons of good info here.

MicroWave audio editor
Anyone out there using the MicroWave audio editor? I have a couple questions about selecting sound from a "document". I'm a Sound forge user from the PC world so am very familiar with audio editing but there seems to be no keyboard command for this task, or at least not one readily apparent to me.

iMac setup
We are now the proud owners of a just unboxed iMac. It needs to come back up to room temperature before I attempt to turn it on but is there anything I should know about the initial setup?

speaking keystrokes in password edit boxes
The iMac setup went fine, save for a few glitches when setting up the email accounts. My dear spouse only has 5 of them. :) He did ask me if there is any way to change the behavior of VO in the password edit boxes. He wants it to read what he's typing there instead of the security feature of just making sounds. I could not think for the life of me where in either the VO utility or system preferences I saw this option. Also, where do I check so that VO comes on automatically at startup? Thanks. Oh and he loves, loves, loves the retina display. Jenine Stanley dragonwalke...@gmail.com -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "MacVisionaries" group.

Re: speaking keystrokes in password edit boxes
Thanks Chris. Now I just have to get the password that was set for this machine to go in as Admin and life will be good. I understand the reasoning behind having no speech with passwords and generally I have my computers set this way but my dear spouse does not. His logic is that his computers remain in the Man Cave and no one goes into said Man Cave but me so why not be able to hear what one is typing? All righty then. Type carefully I say. :) Jenine Stanley dragonwalke...@gmail.com On Feb 13, 2014, at 2:49 PM, Chris H wrote: > Hi > I don't believe you can get VoiceOver to speak in password edit fields which > makes a whole lot of sense.

Re: Accessible PDF Files & MACBook PRO
Yes, it is. I've even filled out PDF forms on line using an MBP and VoiceOver so much more easily than using the Windows equivalent. If the PDF is created using accessibility features then Preview, PDF Reader Pro and I'm sure a few other apps, can read and interact with it quite well. The tough part is getting people to create PDFs in accessible formats.

USB keyboard issues
Let me see if this message goes through this time around. I'm installing a USB keyboard on the iMac for my spouse. When we plugged it in the first time, the keyboard identification utility came up and I followed the instructions. It did recognize the keyboard but none of the function keys spoke when using the VO K command to identify them. Only the F12 and VO F8 keys seemed to work. On the Apple bluetooth keyboard all keys worked as usual. The USB keyboard I was installing works on either Windows or Mac and the other keys for Mac identified readily and work fine. It seems as if any Usb keyboard I install now has this issue. Any wisdom out there about this?

USB keyboard issues
I'm trying to install a USB keyboard and when it is connected and I complete the keyboard installation utility, the function keys no longer announce themselves as they do with the Apple Bluetooth keyboard. This seems then to carry over to any USB keyboard I attach. I then did the really stupid thing of turning on the Apple Bluetooth keyboard and let's just say that things went downhill from there. All has been restored but I'm still curious about the function keys not working or speaking as they do with the Apple keyboard. All other Apple keys work fine. The USB keyboard I'm attaching works with either Windows or Mac.

Re: more questions about audio editing software
I'd grabbed Amadeus Lite to see what it was like and I think I need the Pro version to perform some of the things Mike shows in his podcast. They didn't quite work on my version of Amadeus Lite. I'm still looking for anyone using MicroWave. I've written to the developer asking about keyboard commands for selecting audio but no response as of yet.

Amadeus Pro question
I have question about Amadeus Pro. When I open the program I'm on a screen from which I can apparently record as I've done so. When I try to edit though, I can do one edit but then my audio doesn't seem to play. I also can't use the arrow keys to forward or rewind or change pitch/speed during play. Am I on the wrong screen? Also, is there a list specifically for Amadeus and blind users? Thanks!

Re: how to use a usb mouse with voiceover on the mac
This is true about the USB mouse. My husband just plugged in several of his to see which he liked best as he didn't like the Magic Mouse that came with the iMac. They just worked.

Quick way to get the time

Remote Desktop applications and Voice Over
Anyone out there using a Mac and Remote Desktop to access applications? I have two programs I need to access for work that run using Remote Desktop for both windows and Mac. In Windows these programs are inaccessible due to server restrictions on adding the screen reader needed. Anyone know how this works in Mac OS world? If Voice Over would work with Remote Desktop and these applications, it would be pretty much ground breaking for my job and that of my blind coworker. Thanks.

team viewer question

Can anyone give me info on it? Will it allow me to read the screens displayed once I'm logged into the work server? These screens include a start screen with Windows8-like tiles and then the individual programs. Thanks.

more on remote desktop
I'm thinking that maybe I'm beating a very dead horse here but I tried logging into my work server using Remote Desktop Connect. this worked fine but of course no speech on the remote screen. I'm assuming that some type of screen reader must be installed on the server side in order for any remote desktop access to work, be it windows or Mac? If anyone is using Team Viewer to log into a work server, please let me know how that works and what I need to get from my IT person in order to do this. I get the whole computer to computer thing with Team viewer. We do that all the time at work for things. It works well too. That said, logging into a server is apparently a bit different. Thanks to all who actually do this. Sadly these are some of the skills we need today to be productive in the workplace and I'm not seeing much beyond basic computer operation in so many vocational settings. then again, don't get me on that soapbox. :) Jenine Stanley dragonwalke...@gmail.com -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "MacVisionaries" group.

access to remote computers with Remote Desktop
The good people at Apple Accessibility have gotten back to my many questions about Remote Desktop. Basically VO won't read the remote screens using this program. I did not ask about Team Viewer in a server environment. I've used Team Viewer on Windows machines before and know it does work computer to computer but don't know about server access with it. If anyone does, give me a private shout but for those looking at Remote Desktop, sorry. I did let the Apple folks know that this kind of access is very important to many of us in the workplace so if they could make it happen, that would be huge.

Re: access to remote computers with Remote Desktop
Alex, I'm assuming this would work just fine, using Team Viewer between 2 computers and being able to hear what's going on with the remote machine using VO. It works fine that way in Windows when I've used it. I see there's also a way to connect to a server using team Viewer but I'm still playing with that one.

Re: Still Some Pretty Severe Bugs in Mavericks
I was setting up mail for my husband on the iMac today and had to hammer at it for a while but that's honestly the first time I've seen anything close to a bug or something not working as advertised. Not that this isn't happening for others, granted, but given the fights I've had with my Windows machine today over server access, email and transferring files, give me a Mavericks bug. :) Jenine Stanley dragonwalke...@gmail.com On Mar 6, 2014, at 5:19 PM, Teresa Cochran wrote: > I'd like to make a suggestion. before declaring something a "bug", it might > be a good idea to find out if other users are experiencing the same problems. > For example, I haven't experienced any of these, and I haven't heard of it > happening.

Amadeus question
I'm finishing up a project in amadeus Pro in which I have 3 separate files/documents and I want to turn them into 1 document by adding them together. I thought I could just go to the end of each file and append the next document but this is proving more difficult than I thought. Maybe I should do it in reverse, adding the earlier files to the beginning of each file as that seems to be where they end up regardless of what I do. Any thoughts?

Prismo for Mac
Is anyone using the Prismo app for the Mac? I got my scanner hooked up and running but for some reason even after enabling some of the accessibility features in the app, I'm not hearing the scanned text or able to see where it puts the OCR version.

braille production on the Mac
What software do folks use for braille production on the Mac? I'd like something that interfaces with say, Pages, rather than a stand alone program but I'll entertain anything.

tagging people in Facebook
OK so I've been told that if you put the # symbol before a name in an FB post, that will tag the person. For some reason it only adds a "link" to the first word. Also, when I use the Tag people in your posts feature, it doesn't tag them but says I'm with them. What am I doing wrong? :) Using Safari and Mavericks on the FB Mobile site.

Re: stopping programs from launching at start
Well, this just got a little more complicated but possibly I might have the answer. So bringing up the Mac today I had Amadeus open at start. I went first to the dock to see if the checkbox Tim mentioned was checked. Nope. Then I went to System Preferences and tried Alex's method but the only programs listed there were iTunes helper and DropBox. All righty then. I closed Amadeus and will now restart the machine to see what happens if it's not left open when I shut down. that may be the answer. Again, thanks all for your wisdom. It truly and sincerely doesn't cease to amaze me how helpful this list can be. Jenine Stanley dragonwalke...@gmail.com On Mar 22, 2014, at 10:20 AM, Alex Hall wrote: > 1.

database app for Mac
I'm looking for a database app for Mac that will import CSV files. and that is of course accessible with VO. Any suggestions? Right now on the windows machine I use Excel's "table" feature which used to be called "list". this allows a spreadsheet to be turned into a database with each row being a record. If there is such a feature in Numbers, that would be even better than a separate database program as I'm not doing major database type things, just moving and editing records.

Re: spell check primer
If you use Quick Nav, turn it off to use spell check features as outlined in all the instructions you are about to receive. Once Quick Nav is turned off, then down arrow once. If this does not yield the suggestion list, left arrow until back into the misspelled word then down arrow once. If there's more than one suggestion, right arrow, which is totally counterintuitive to what you do in Windows spell check. When you find the suggestion you want, hit enter. Hope that helps.

IOS apps and TV access
So we are going to buy a new, or at least new for us, TV. We're looking at a Samsung 55=inch, don't know the exact model but it's last year's hot Samsung TV. The salesperson, in typical salesperson hype, said that it has Apple TV built in. How does this work? Can I control it through my phone or MBP? He said there was an app, Samsung Smart Remorte, or something like that. anyone used this? Accessibility thoughts? the regular remote that comes with the TV scares me enough. Is there a universal remote app I can use with Samsung TVs? Help! :) Jenine Stanley dragonwalke...@gmail.com -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "MacVisionaries" group.

Re: Stability of the Mac
This is an interesting question. From just an average user point of view, I have been using my MacBook Pro since early February and use a Windows laptop for work. They literally sit side by side on my desk. I had used the iPhone since 2011 so was sort of familiar with how VoiceOver works and love it on the IOS platform that said, it's very different on the Mac or OS side. Speaking first to stability, I managed to crash the MBP twice in the first week but literally have not made the speech stop since then. Has my MBP slowed down or acted strangely a few times without explanation? yes, but it's come back to its original performance soon after these fits. My Windows machine frequently hangs up both in the operating system in general and because of screen reader/video issues. Outlook is really bad about this and I usually have to reboot at least once a day. Yes, I maintain my Windows machine well with weekly cleaning and such but ... The one thing that you will find difficult at first but which, if you continue to plug away at it will soon become second nature, is the whole concept of interacting with things. I hated it at first and still am not fond of it. Unlike the IOS realm, you have to take an extra step to access some things using Voice Over. Once you get used to it though and combine Quick Nav with the regular VO operation, and ask this list a ton of stupid questions, :) you'll be fine. I really like the variety of quality voices available with VO too. It's fast and responsive. I'm sold. Be sure though to give yourself some time and be patient. Beprepared to read over and over any and all instructions, podcasts and other things about switching, commands and apps.

getting to someone's email address
How would I find out the email address of someone in a message to copy it and use it somewhere else? Here's the situation. The "to" line of a mail message has the address from which the person sent the email but all I see is a name. When using Outlook for example, I could go up into the header and grab the email address. I went into message header in Mail and didn't see this detail but I think I'm missing it somehow. Thanks.

Prismo frustrations

mostly fixed my Prismo issues
It turns out that one of my issues with Prismo was that it wasn't recognizing my scanner due to a bad installation. I went in and cleaned out the scanners part of Printers and Scanners under System Preferences, reinstalled the scanner and Voila! Prismo is a bit clunky imho but it does work. I need to adjust the parameters for dpi as 600 doesn't really give me enough to get good recognition from the several items I've tried thus far.
