Status Report Question

[Marc Sutton]

Hi Listers,
I read somewhere about a way to get this program to update the feeds list. Can 
someone refresh my memory on this? I installed the ios app and it got all the 
feeds the first time but doesn't seem to update. Thanks.
Marc

I assume that you mean flick down with the same finger that is holding. This 
does not seem to work for me. I have tried flicking down a short distance and 
also to the bottom of the screen. Any finetuning tips?

Re: Status Report Question

[Marc Sutton]

Thanks. Got it to work. I was clicking and holding on the item at the top 
called status, not the first item in the status list. Too bad there isn't a 
setting to have it update on a regular interval. Perhaps that saves battery 
power though.

Muting Skype or Phone Call

[Marc Sutton]

Hi Listers,
Does anyone know if there is a way to mute a skype call so that you can be on a 
conference call and not disrupt things with your own background noise. Or, for 
that matter, a phone call. I haven't noticed a mute button but perhaps I 
haven't searched enough. Or maybe there is a gesture that I don't know about. 
Thanks for any help.
Marc

Enabling Chromevox

[Marc Sutton]

Hi List,
I installed the Chromevox extension in Google Chrome. I didn't notice any 
particular behavior different than before. Does someone know how to enable the 
extension? I want to try and use it without vo. In particular, to see how well 
it works with google docs, calendar, etc. And supposedly it works better than 
if you are using voiceover. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

Re: Enabling Chromevox

[Marc Sutton]

Hi Teresa,
It seems that chromevox is speaking now. But when i get to extensions and tab 
through there is no mention of chromevox. When i turn voiceover on all i hear 
is it saying "extensions" but it won't read any text. And I never did hear 
anything about a tutorial or gallery or anything like that. Are there hromevox 
commands other than tab that get it to speak certain detail? A command for 
increasing the speech rate? Thanks.

Re: Enabling Chromevox

Thanks Teresa. My vo right combination just keeps saying preferences extensions 
and will go no further. I will play with it some more. Even when i interact 
with that i get the same response. Interesting. Thanks.

Mirroring a Folder

[Marc Sutton]

Hi List,
Has anyone had VoiceOver success with software to mirror a folder to a 
harddrive or the reverse? I want to keep my music folder backed up to an 
external disc. I have tried File Sync to no avail. Would love to hear people's 
recommendations. Thanks.

Thank you for this tip. I downloaded an opml file of my podcast subscriptions

Thanks much.

Re: Podcast App for Mac

[Marc Sutton]

And it works great. I noticed that Quicktime stays open when the "return to 
normal spped" script is launched, so you have to go back to itunes to pause 
speech. Is this the behavior designed in the script, or is something amuck?

Re: Podcast App for Mac

[Marc Sutton]

Hi Esther,
Yes, it took me a while to tackle these scripts but it's not hard once you 
follow the good instructions that you provide. I will move them to the itunes 
folder and see what happens next. I assume you can assign a keyboard shortcut 
for these. Wondering where that might be done. Perhaps under system 
prefs/keyboard? Thanks.

Audio in Safari

[Marc Sutton]

Hi List,
It seems that now under Mountain LIon I don't have audio playback of youtube 
videos and other misc. audio. It may be flash related. Any ideas? I tried to 
install flash but can't seem to select the install button. Perhaps i am barking 
up the wrong tree but thought i'd try flash. Any suggestions. Thanks.

VO New Window Silence

[Marc Sutton]

Hi,
I am using a program called Decibel. It is an alternative to Itunes. Whenever a 
new song plays i get a Voiceover message saying that a new window has opened. 
Does anyone know how to silence such announcements? I tried the activities 
chooser but that didn't seem to work. Thanks.

Re: RSS

Hi Teresa,
Thanks for that tip. It doesn't appear that you can import feeds into either 
program. I have a bunch of them in an opml file that i would like to view on 
the mac. I will see if there are any solutions to this. The Mac Mail 
implementation of rss does look pretty good though.

Hi Traci,
Thanks for that recommendation. It seems to work with Voiceover, although a few 
buttons need labeling. The .opml file imported successfully and kept my folder

There was a topic about switching from Windows to the Mac. A related question I 
have is, what is the keyboard shortcut in Lion for moving to the top or bottom 
of a list. As in, you have a list of files and want to jump to either the 
beginning or end of that list. For that matter, how about navigating to the top 
or bottom of a Safari page. Thanks.
Marc

Audio Editing Software

[Marc Sutton]

Hi,
I was wondering what accessible software people use with Voiceover to edit 
audio files. Does Audacity work with VO? Or do people recommend others. I have 
used Studio Recorder on the PC side. I just need to do a little editing of .wav 
files. Thanks.

Pandora

[Marc Sutton]

Hi,
How do people on this list access pandora? Through the webpage or via an app. I 
tried the Pandabar app and it doesn't seem to be accessible. Thanks.

Re: Pandora

I went to their website and it requires flash to be installed. I noticed that 
the installation doesn't seem to work with Voiceover. Any tips?

Reading Conversations in Mail

[Marc Sutton]

Hi List,
When there are multiple messages in a conversation, i have noticed that you can 
use vo-j to get to all of them. If you press delete the first message is gone 
and the next one in the stack appears. How can I move between threaded messages 
without having to delete any of them? Thanks.

Dropbox

[Marc Sutton]

Hi,
This has already been discussed on the list before. Can someone point me 
towards information on using dropbox on the mac? I noticed that when i copied a 
file into the dropbox folder it doesn't show up on my pc's dropbox. I wonder if 
there are settings on the mac side that involve sharing, etc. How can i access 
the fropbox settings, for example. Thanks for any help.

Re: converting tapes to MP3

[Marc Sutton]

Hi,
Actually the 2011 models do not support this. The only choice available for 
input is the built-in mic.

Ios: Rearranging apps on home screen

[Marc Sutton]

Hi Listers,
I was reading that you can use Itunes to rearrange items on your iphone. When I 
select apps in itunes after making sure source is my iphone, i can't seem to 
move them in any way to change screens or move them into folders. Does anyone 
know how to do this? Thanks.

Re: Ios: Rearranging apps on home screen

[Marc Sutton]

Hi Tim,
Thanks for the useful explanation. I will stop tryint itunes for now. I noticed 
that sometimes it is really tricky to find a folder to drag an item into. But i 
guess that is just practice. I also imagine it is helpful to get a good idea of 
the page layout before dragging apps so you know where to move your finger. If 
you just use flick navigation then you don't have a good idea of where items 
are located.

Ical question

[Marc Sutton]

Hello,
I am just starting to explore the Ical program. I have it set to week view. I 
added some entries. When I move through the week using vo, i will hear about 
one event on a particular day. Does anyone know how to hear the time of that 
event and even hear all the events for that day spoken at once. I am trying to 
figure out how to quickly and efficiently use the calendar. This would be one 
feature that could make that possible--the ability to quickly scan events 
scheduled for the future. Any tips?
Thanks. Marc

Hi Kawal,
No problem. I suspected you might be referring to the addressbook. It seems 
like there is a lot of interacting necessary in order to browse a calendar. I 
will see if the iphone app is more efficient.

Re: Ical question

[Marc Sutton]

Thanks for this tip. I notice that working pretty well except that as i 
command-right-arrow through dates, if there is an event on a particular date, 
voiceover doesn't tell me that fact unless i move back to the events list. It 
would be nice if there were some indication. I wonder if there is some 
voiceover setting or other trick that could be employed to get this info spoken.

Calendar and Mavericks Problem

[Marc Sutton]

Hello Listers,
For some reason my calendar has stopped working. That is, when I Tab through 
it, I just hear "blank" "blank" etc. I have it set on week view and usually as 
I tab around it would tell me the event title and time and date. Any ideas how 
to get this back on track or to at least get to a mode in calendar that works. 
I don't know that I changed anything in particular.
Thanks.
Marc

Re: Youtube for Mac?

[Marc Sutton]

I use a program called Downie which converts Youtube and other video links into 
video or audio files. I set it to convert to mp3 and listen at whatever speed I 
want using VLC Media Player. The developer is always coming up with updates and 
seems aware of accessibility concerns.

Re: Itunes 11 and sorting (NOT)

[Marc Sutton]

Hi,
I looked on Applevis but found no results. I am wondering if anyone recommends 
an accessible Mac id3 tag editor other than itunes. That way tag info can be 
edited before import. Seems like that info isn't available in the finder.

Re: Accessibility of tax Filing process

 Hi all.
 
 I've been getting things to gether to do my taxes and was looking at the 
 process for my state. I see that after I get my acknowledgment back I have 
 to send them an attachment with files of my w2, rent certificate, and 
 other papers. I would imagine maybe the IRS requires this for the federal 
 return too. So I have two questions.
 
 (1) Does anybody know whether the transfer mechanism for sending these 
 files is accessible on the Mac?
 
 (2) Is this just a matter of scanning the files? My state says it accepts 
 tif, bmp, jpg and pdf files. But I'm wondering if just scanning them like 
 I do my mail and books is going to be okay or whether they could still 
 receive an attachment with unreadable files. I'd really like to be able to 
 do this but I sure don't want to make my tax experience a long, drawn-out 
 one or have to re-do everything and have to wait and wait for my refund.
 
 Any input would be appreciated.

Re: Mouse Overs

Unfortunately that didn't work on this particular page. Thanks for the 
suggestion. I will add it to the list of things to try next time.

Reading by Paragraph

[Marc Sutton]

Hi Listers,
I am probably missing something, but I haven't noticed a voiceover command for 
advancing to and reading the next paragraph. It is a good way to read through a 
document and not have to read the whole thing. Any suggestions?

Re: Zip files

[Marc Sutton]

If you highlight (bring focus to) the folder you want to compress then use the 
context menu command (vi-shift-m), arrow through the menu until you get to 
compress. Select it and you will have a zip file of that folder.

Re: Flac files inquiry

If you want to import the flac files into itunes and preserve their lossless

Logitech Media Server

[Marc Sutton]

Hello,
I recently installed this software to control my Squeezebox Classic. I am 
noticing some challenges with using Voiceover. Does anyone have tips for using 
it with the latest versions of both? For example, When I click on the different 
settings categories, nothing happens. Thanks for any help.

Re: Piano Pub Questions

[Marc Sutton]

My Pianopub started working again under Mountainlion once i updated to the 
latest version (1.55). I was running 1.52 and didn't know of the upgrade.

A work around for changing stations is to go to preferences and change the 
start-up station. You can do that in the table of stations under preferences by 
selecting the radio button in column 1. Then restart Pianopub and away you go. 
I, also have had no luck selecting a different station from the main window in 
this version.

Syncing or Mirroring Two Folders

Re: Logitech Media Server

[Marc Sutton]

Thanks for the tip about how to access classic mode. I was having trouble 
changing those settings using the default mode, so this should help. Right now 
I need a sighted person to switch the music source back to my Mac using the 
remote. So, once that happens I will be up and running. Unless you know of a 
way using the LMS software to switch sources.

Mog Question

I am using the Mac app and wondering how folks, when doing a search, select the 
album search-type instead of track. There is a list which contains album, 
artist and track. That list does not seem clickable. Any tricks would be 
appreciated. Thanks.

Moving a Folder in Mac Mail

Has anyone successfully done this with vo? Even if i am trying to do this with

Re: Moving a Folder in Mac Mail

[Marc Sutton]

Hi Teresa,
Thanks for the full-screen mode tip. That did the trick. It also seems to work 
better in classic than modern view but i am going to go back to modern view and 
see what the results are like now that i am getting success. And, yes, it was 
the old 5-key mouse-down command that made it work as well. Thanks again.

Re: Downloading audio from a web site

[Marc Sutton]

Hi,
There is a Mac app called Downie that allows you to type or paste a url
into the app and get a video or audio file as a conversion. It works on
many websites and the developer is keen on accessibility. If you want to
send me a specific link i can try it out or i bet they have a demo version.
