Trying to run Eloquent but getting nowhere.
Hi listers, After downloading Eloquent, I ran it, and all VO says is, Eloquent has no windows. I tried going to the menu bar with vo-M and don't get anything. What's going on here?

Recardo, I was trying to install it. Something is up, the app doesn't launch for some reason. It acts like it's downloading, but nothing happens.

Okay, what happened? VoiceOVer and the new mail
Okay, list. This is really getting on my nerve. Before I hop on my soapbox, I want y'all to know that I did find the classic view, and checked that at one point. But whatever happened to the ability to interact with the messages table and just look at one particular thing, such as subject? In other words, I liked the fact that in Snow Leopard, I could interact with the table, v o right to the subject field, then use my plain up and down arrows and only hear the subject read, and nothing else. Now, with this new view, I'm getting a bunch of stuff that I don't really care about. IS there eany way to view a particular field in the new view, and avoid extraneous speech? Thanks.

Can't access trackpad commander in voice utility on my mac book
Hi all, I've had my mac book for about a month now, and upgraded to snow leopard last Friday. I notice there's a trackpad commander which can be turned on in either the voice over utility, or with the clockwise two-finger approach on the track pad while holding the vo keys. However, I've tried both these methods, and neither of them work. I can drag my finger across the trackpad and hear where items are on the screen, or at least where I think they are, and then use my mouse button to click on them. But I thought you could double tap and use all the voice over gestures? Any help on this would be appreciated. All I see in the commanders category of the voice over utility are the numpad and the keyboard commander.

Re: How To Remove The Preview Pane in the Mail Client?
Actually, another trick to viewing messages in the preview pane is to just press the tab key when you are interacting with the messages table. So when you're on a message of interest, just press tab to view it, then when you are done, press shift tab. You will be back in your messages table, and at least with Snow Leopard, voice over will still be interacting with the table. I find this a great way to view messages, but to each their own. Take care. Jes On Sep 2, 2009, at 2:50 PM, Esther wrote: > > Hi Mark, > > M.

Voice Over with Apple Scripts, must get this off my chest
Hi all. I am greatly concerned that voice over now has support for scripting. Especially now that you can make voice over launch an application with a single script. I'm not talking about glancing at the time or seeing how many unread messages you have in mail. I'm talking about opening up apps like mail or Safari from within Voice OVer. I am concerned that voice over is starting to become a bit like Jaws, and that if we don't get a grip on it now, voice over will become Jaws for Macintosh. I, like Mike Arrigo, don't feel that launching apps is something that should be implemented in a screen reader. Also, I fear that the use of apple scripts will replace the responsibility of an application developer to make their application accessible right out of the box. On the Windows side, if something isn't accessible with Jaws, you just download scripts for it. What if you go to another person's computer and they don't have the scripts for the app you are trying to use? It's my belief that a certain article from the NFB prompted this scripting support. Folks, the thing I like about voice over is that it gives the blind user the same conceptual layout and information as it appears on the screen to a sighted user. No other screen reader does this, and we should keep voice over as a screen reader, and let it be. If we don't, eventually, when we try and contact an Apple developer, they will either ignore us, or will say, "Well, just download the scripts for my application and you will have access." Any thoughts? If someone disagrees with me, I'd love to hear your arguments, not so that I can persuade you to agree with me, but so that I can have a new perspective.

Re: Data detector present
Christina, This happens whenever Mail encounters dates or email addresses, so you can add them to either ICal or address book. It's just a way to have that particular data pasteD into a new entry so you don't have to type it in yourself. I'm not sure there is a way to turn that announcement off, but it's rather nice to have around.

For Mac newbies doing podcasts comparing voiceover and Windows, a suggestion.
Hi all, I bought my Mac in 2009, and while I still use Windows for three specific functions that are not accesible on the MAc, I will give anyone who wants to do podcasts comparing v o to Jaws or any other Windows screen reader a word of advice. Give yourself at least two months with the Mac and voice over. Abandon Windows. Unplug all your Windows boxes, and force yourself to do things the Mac way. Then, do your podcasts. Or, MAybe after your two month honey moon with the Mac and v o, then, there will be no need to do them in the first place.

Re: Ical help!
Scott, Not sure why the menus are not showing up for you in ICal, but if you start ICal and it says ICal has no Windows, press command-0 and you should hear "ICal, checked."

Telephone is a free VoIP application available in the Mac App Store. It is intended for people who have existing Internet phone services through a company such as BroadVoice. It provides a completely accessible softphone, with some fairly advanced features which I've admittedly not used very much. Account set up is easy with the right information from your phone provider. In searching the program I haven't yet found an unlabeled button. Dialing works quite well, and there are keyboard shortcuts to handle most functions. I was pleasantly surprised to find a program both this accessible and free. I don't know how many people might be in the market for a VOIP softphone, but this one certainly seems capable.

My 2 cents about the inaccessibility of the set up of drop box
Hi all. As far as I'm concerned, the complete inaccessibility of Drop Box on the Mac is inexcusable. And, I tell you this, if I was the CEO of Apple, developers would either write their code based on Apple's accessibility guidelines, or, there programs would just be rejected. IT's a black and white issue as far as I'm concerned. I mean, mercy! IT's bad enough that we couldn't access the drop box menu, but now that we can't even set the client up without sighted help? And honestly, I don't think petitions would do a lot for our cause. Individual complaints have been sent to drop box for over two years, and they've done nothing to show us that they hear our cries for accessibility. I'd sign the petition, but don't think it will help much. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "MacVisionaries" group.

Re: Reaper versus other sound editors on the mac
Reaper is similar to products such as pro tools on the Mac, but it's a lot cheaper. Unfortunately, there is really no accessibility to it for the Mac yet. Items such as the track list, arm status, outputs and effects used, etc, do not read. So, there's no point in trying it on the Mac. I've tried it on that other OS, Windows, and it works great, as long as you have the reaaccess bridge.

Re: Reaper versus other sound editors on the mac
Hi Krister, Actually, the basics of Reaper would include looking at meters, your track arm status, pan and volume levels, etc. IF you want to do anything really important with Reaper, for now, you can forget it on the Mac side. It just isn't possible yet. As a matter of fact, the only reason why it's possible to do things with Reaper on Windows is because of the reaaccess bridge, which are essentially a bundle of scripts or set files that each screen reader maker has put in place. Without that, the Mac and the Windows versions are really the same, only offering access to dialogues, menus and the like. Access to the track's routing matrix, plug in presets, input/output routing, etc, would not be there in Windows either.

Re: hot spot expiry?
The hot spots are automatically saved, until you either replace them or get rid of them. Unfortunately, you can only have up to 10 hot spots, from numbers 1 through 0. That's Apple's design. The hot spots are only active if the program associated with them is open because it's a quick way of returning to an area of the program, or a quick way of monitoring something within a program, such as a progress indicator. Remember, you can press vo-hot spot number twice to bring up your hot spot chooser menu to see which ones you haven't used in a while.

Re: hotspots again, might be doing something wrong
No, there is not a specific key to press to reactivate the hotspots. The hot spots have to be predictable to voiceover. In other words, they must be at the same place, at the same time, under all circumstances. I don't think what you are trying to do will work.

Re: hotspots again, might be doing something wrong
Once you set a hot spot, it should stay there until you remove it. I'm not sure why it's not working that way for you, and I don't think it's anything you're doing.

Re: the installation, and uninstallation of applications to the Mac
You are giving me ideas for upcoming podcasts. To install an app: 1. Open the .dmg file with command-O. (Most apps come in dmg files, which are basically virtual cds.) However, If the app comes with the extension .pkg, that's just like the setup.exe file that you've seen a billion times in Windows. Anyway, 2. Copy the name of the app, for example, skype.app, into your applications folder. You can quickly get to the applications folder by typing command-shift-a 3. Press comand-v to paste the app. And there you have it. 4. Go to the desktop, and you will see somewhere the name of the virtual disk. eject it with command-E. As far as blogging software, I would recommend marsedit. You can google for it. It's not very expensive at all, easy to use, and works great with VO. And go ahead and install Skype. It has an interface similar to ITunes. HTH Jes On May 5, 2011, at 12:02 AM, ShamelessFanGirl wrote: > Hi all, > > Subject covers it really.

Re: A jingle I recorded for a client. All done on a Mac in Pro Tools 9.
Only two suggestions from me. After you sing the line, "Hey everybody, ain't no more waiting", you take a breath. I, personally, would kill the breathing, as it doesn't appear anywhere else in the jingle, and is not really necessary. Second, I can't hear what you say before you say "Jackson". Other than that, very nice. On May 9, 2011, at 3:23 AM, Kevin Reeves wrote: > Hey folks. Just got through with this jingle I wrote for a client.

Re: Say Goodbye to Skype, Microsoft just bought it for 8.5 billion
Mark, I base this assumption upon past history of dealing with Microsoft for Mac products. When I purchased this MacBook, I, not knowing any better, also purchased Microsoft Office for Mac. The install button looked like it was there to VoiceOVer, and you could press on it and it would say install, dimmed. However, there was a little icon that you had to click on with your mouse, which was the actual install button. This is where I base my assumption. Once someone sighted clicked on the install icon, and got MS Office installed, the program crashed whenever I pressed command-O to open up any of the tools in the suite. Totally useless, and inaccessible. On May 10, 2011, at 11:29 AM, Mark BurningHawk Baxter wrote: > Upon what, other than past history, of course, are you basing that > assumption?

Re: Say Goodbye to Skype, Microsoft just bought it for 8.5 billion
Hi, this is Jes. First, I'm glad that some people on the list see my point, and that my concerns are somewhat valid. Also, keep in mind that Skype is being used by more and more businesses, so if someone is looking for employment in a virtual call center or something, they had better be able to use Skype as well as their co-workers. In this scenario, finding another voip is just not practical.

Re: Louis for the mac.
Thanks Eric for that, I've ben wondering about how to get Louis to work myself. To open up a .app extention, hilight the app and press vo-shift-m. Then go down to show package contents. You'll find a folder which says contents, and then press command-o to open it.

For the Mac: Podcast catchers other than Itunes?
Subject says everything. Are there any pod catchers that just download podcasts that I've subscribed to, and let me manage my subscriptions? Juice, for Windows is an example of exactly what I am looking for, only I would need the app for the Mac. Thanks.
