Re: got Apple TV

[Scott Rumery]

Hi just tell your husband to mute the TV when he is going through the menus and 
then he will not have to deal with hearing Voice Over while he is looking for 
something to watch.  This is what our kids do hear because they do get 
frustrated with hearing Voice Over when they are trying to find something to 
watch.

VLC Help Needed

[Scott Rumery]

Hello, I have just installed the VLC app on my Mac Mini and I am trying to 
listen to an Audible book with it but every time I open the file in VLC I 
cannot seem to hear anything.  I have checked to make sure that mute is not on, 
and I have also checked to make sure that the volume is turned up.  Does anyone 
have any suggestions as to how I can get this file to play within VLC?

Re: Setting to not automatically add files to iTunes library.

[Scott Rumery]

Hi, you could use  a different program to listen to your song.  If I am not 
mistaken, iTunes only adds the file to your library because you are using it  
to play that file.  So if you were to use something like VLC to play your 
files, then it should not be added to your iTunes library.  If I am wrong, I am 
sure someone else on the list will let me know.  I just thought that this 
approach might be worth mentioning.

Re: Setting to not automatically add files to iTunes library.

[Scott Rumery]

Wow, I didn't even think of that, please let us know if this approach works for 
not adding a file to your iTunes library.  The Mac is such a wonderful 
platform, and I am constantly learning everyday.

Re: Garage band and ringtones

[Scott Rumery]

Hello, you don't necessarily
 have to use Garage Band to make ringtones out of your own music.  You can very 
easily do this with iTunes.  I recently did a presentation on this very topic 
last Wednesday night for an iPhone Discussion conference that my friend Beverly 
Hunter and I have on the Conversation Station every Wednesday and Saturday 
night.  These conferences oar held at 7:00 P.M. Eastern Time on Wednesday, and 
6:00 P.M. Eastern Time on Saturday.  If you would like to listen to my 
presentation on the Conversation Station just call: 616-883-2999, press pound 
to skip the welcome message, then press the number 5 for recordings, and then 
enter the recording ID 17379.  I give step by step instructions on how to use 
iTunes to make your own ringtones.

Re: Garage band and ringtones

[Scott Rumery]

No, unfortunately there isn't.  I didn't record it myself, it was recorded by 
the Coversation Station system, and as far as I know the only way to hear it is 
to call the line and go into recordings and enter the recording code of 17379.  
This was the first time I did a presentation like this and I had fun doing it, 
so I plan on doing some more of them in the future.  I know that some people 
don't like the idea of calling one of these coversation lines, but if just give 
it a try, I think that you will like it.

Drop Box

[Scott Rumery]

Hello, I am trying to use Drop Box on the Mac and I am having some trouble with 
it.  When I launch the Drop Box app, all Voice Over will say is "Drop Box has 
no Windows".  I can go to my home folder and find the Drop Box folder, but 
there is nothing there.  I have been able to set up a couple of folders via the 
Drop Box website, but doing it this way is a bit cumbersome. Does anybody out 
there use Drop Box on the Mac, and if so could they let me know if they are 
using the app, or are they using it from the home folder.  Any help would be 
greatly appreciated.

Re: Drop Box

[Scott Rumery]

Hi Steve, I didn't have to enter in my user name and password during the

Drop Box Problem Solved

[Scott Rumery]

I have solved my Drop Box problem.  Steve was correct in  saying that you need 
to install Drop Box outside of the apps folder.  What I did was, locate the DMG 
file, I opened it and when presented with the .app file, instead of copying it 
to the apps folder, I instead opened it and was presented with an installation 
dialogue which did indeed ask me for my log in information.  After logging into 
my account I now see all my folders that appear when I go to the Drop Box 
website.  Thank you Steve for mentioning this crucial detail about having to 
install it outside of the apps folder.

Learning To Use Fission

[Scott Rumery]

Hello, I am trying to learn how to use Fission with Voice Over and I am having 
some trouble.  For those of you that don't know what Fission is, I will let you 
know that Fission is an audio editor for the Mac.  It can be used to make 
iPhone ringtones, and this is what I am trying to use it for.  I know that you 
can make your ringtones with iTunes and I have become very good at making my 
ringtones this way, but a friend of mine told me a few days ago about Fission 
and that it is very easy to use for making ringtones, so I thought that I would 
give it a look.

The trouble that I seem to be having is that when I open an audio file 
in the program and then try to set the beginning and end points in the file, 
the beginning and end points seem to be in synch with each other.  By this I 
mean that when I move one, the other moves right along with it.  I have been 
through every setting to see if there is something that I am missing, and I 
can't seem to find out what it is that I am doing wrong.

Is there anyone on the list who knows how to use this program, and if 
so would they be willing to post some basic instructions for me.

Thank you very much,
Scott

Re: question about iPhone training

[Scott Rumery]

Hello Eugene,
If your friend is interested in getting some training or I would rather 
call it teaching help with an iPhone or for that matter anything to do with 
assistive technology, I would like to offer my services.  I am part of a new 
firm here in Georgia that offers low cost support and training or teaching for 
all of Apple's products.  I am also very knowledgeable with Windows screen 
readers so I could also help with that as well.

If you or your friend are interested let me know and we can talk about 
rates and what services that your friend might be interested in.  If you go to: 
 http://www.fedoraoutlier.com you can learn more about our company and what 
services we offer.  As I said we are a firm that specializes in Apple 
accessibility and I am sure that once you and your friend look at our website 
that you will agree that we are the ones to come to for teaching skills such as 
you described.

Re: question about iPhone training

[Scott Rumery]

I completely agree Les.  That is why our firm specializes in One To One 
training, and we also offer group training for those clients that would like to 
have 3 to 10 people trained at the same time.  This group training takes up a 
full 8 hour day in a specific location that we and our clients agree on and of 
course costs more, but as I said, with this service we can train/ teach a group 
of individuals at the same time.

Re: is a paid screenreader for the mac a option?

[Scott Rumery]

Hello,
I have not been on the Mac as long as you have, but after using a 
Window computer for 20 years or more, I am extremely happy with my Mac.  You 
are correct when you say the Mac screen reader is more stable than the Windows 
screen readers.  I agree that this more than likely due to the fact that Voice 
Over is part of the Mac OS which helps it to run more dependently.  I however  
do not agree with your statement that on Windows more basic programs are 
accessible.  First of all, what do you mean by basic programs?  You mentioned 
Drop Box.  It is true that using Drop Box on the Mac requires a certain level 
of expertise, but once you understand how you need to use it on the Mac, it 
works just fine.  I think you must be referring to the fact that when you 
install Drop Box and you launch it all Voice Over will say is "Drop Box has no 
windows".  This frustrated me to no end until I realize that on the Mac you can 
just go to your home folder and arrow down to Drop Box and then access it like 
any other folder on your Mac.  I put an alias icon right on my desktop and now 
all that I have to do is to open that, and then I can work in my Drop Box.
My point with all of this is to illustrate that even though at first 
Drop Box may seem inaccessible on the Mac, it really isn't

As for your question about a paid screen reader ever being made 
available on the Mac.  I seriously doubt that this will ever happen, and I 
probably wouldn't use it anyway.  I would not for one, want to go and pay 
several hundreds of dollars for something that in my opinion would give me a 
sub par experience on the Mac, especially when the beauty of owning a Mac is 
that once I purchase my Mac, all I have to do after turning it on to have 
accessibility is to hit command plus F5.

Just my opinion.

Hidden Functions In F1 Through F12

[Scott Rumery]

Hidden Functions in F 1 through F 12



People say that you should not take shortcuts in life, but when using my Mac I 
can appreciate a great shortcut that makes my work easier. Your F 1 to F 12 
keys are fast and easy ways to change settings on your Mac without allot of 
fuss, but what about a shortcut to the shortcut?

Here is something you should keep in your mental arsenal when wanting to change 
master settings on your Mac. Adding the Option Key to the Function that you are 
trying to toggle opens its respective preference pain and tab within System 
Preferences. This proves useful when you need to change sound schemes, update 
video displays or a host of other settings easily. Hidden Functions of F 1 
Through F 12- Full Article

Hi I just checked and the update that you are talking about came out last month 
and as far as I can tell nothing has changed, so it is safe to update.  I hope

Audio Highjack Pro

[Scott Rumery]

Hello everyone,

I would like to know if anyone on the list is good at using Audio Highjack Pro. 
 I have recently purchased it with the intention of using to produce a series 
of Mac and iPhone how to podcasts. Can I use this program to record my voice as 
well as the Voice Over from my computer at the same time, or will I have to 
record them separately and then join them together post production?  I hope 
that I can record both my own voice from my microphone and the system sound at 
the same time.

Does anyone know of any good tutorials for this program?

Thank you,
Scott

Re: Audio Highjack Pro

[Scott Rumery]

That is what I thought, but if I set up two component sessions won't I get two 
separate files?  I guess what I am looking for is a way to record both my 
system sound and my own voice all in one file.  Will I have to just merge the 
two files after I record them?

Garage Band

[Scott Rumery]

Does anyone know how to use Garage Band on Mountain Lion to record  a podcast?  
I have been looking through the manual and it says to choose Podcast when 
creating a project but I can't seem to find where I would do this.  Any help 
will be greatly appreciated.

Re: Garage Band

[Scott Rumery]

Hi Mike,

Thanks for the help.  Let me explain to you what it is that I am trying to do.

I am using Audio Highjack Pro to record both my voice and my system sound.  The 
problem with this is that the program is making 2 separate files and I wanted 
to use Garage Band to join these files, but when I try and open these files 
with GB the Open File button is dimmed.  Do you know what I am doing wrong, and 
if you have a better idea how to record my voice along with my system sounds, I 
would be open to hearing about it.

Re: Garage Band

[Scott Rumery]

Hi Mike,

I think that I understand what you are saying, but I must still be doing 
something wrong.  If you have some time free this evening and you are willing 
to help me figure this out, maybe we could hook up on Skype.  I would greatly 
appreciate the help as I need to learn how to do this for the company that I am 
working with.  Plus it is something that I have wanted to know how to do for 
quite some time, but I just haven't tried to figure out how to do it yet.

If you will send me your Skype information I will send you a contact request 
and maybe tonight at about 7 or 8 Eastern we could talk and you can help teach 
me how to do this.

Got A New Keyboard

[Scott Rumery]

Hello I just got a new keyboard for my Mac and I am having a problem with the F 
keys.  It seems as though that the F keys are mapped to perform hardware 
functions and I want them to do software functions.  I can't seem to locate 
where to change this setting in Lion.  Is there anyone out there that can help 
me with this?

Logitech Solar Keyboard for Mac

[Scott Rumery]

Hello, I recently purchased a Logitech Solar keyboard for my Mac and I really 
do like this keyboard except for one thing.  It seems as though that the F keys 
perform hardware actions, and I need them to perform software actions, but I 
can't see anywhere on my system where I can make this change.  I know that it 
is suppose to be in System Preferences under Keyboard within the keyboard tab, 
on my Mac there is no place where I can tell my Mac I want the F keys to 
perform software functions.  My question is; is there anyone else on the list 
that has this Logitech Solar keyboard, and if there is were you able to change 
the way this keyboard handles the F keys?

Bookshare on the Mac

[Scott Rumery]

Re: Bookshare on the Mac

[Scott Rumery]

I never even thought of that.  But doesn't that make reading a long book 
problematic because if I am not mistaken, by reading it in Safari there is no 
way to bookmark where you leave off.  If I am wrong, please let me know.

Re: Logitech Solar Keyboard for Mac

[Scott Rumery]

Yes you did answer this question a couple of days ago, but as I said in my 
latest message on my Mac when I go into system preferences, keyboard, and   
then the keyboard tab there is no check box for using the F keys for software 
functions.  That is why I asked if there was anyone on the list that was using 
this particular model keyboard, and if so if they were able to enable the F key 
functionality.

Re: Logitech Solar Keyboard for Mac

[Scott Rumery]

Ok I just went to system preferences on my Mac, and I am not finding this 
option but I know that I have seen this check box before.  I am at a loss as to 
what could be going on.  I changed keyboards so that I could make sure that 
this option is not keyboard specific and it is not because with the other 
keyboard the option is still not there.  I know that with this other keyboard I 
was able to change this option when I first got my Mac, so I do not know where 
this check box has gone.
Here is what V o is finding in my keyboard system preferences.  
Keyboard selected tab.  Keyboard Shortcuts tab one of two.  Key Report.  Delay 
until repeat.  85.7 percent key repeat slider.  40 percent delay until repeat 
slider.  Off.  Slow.  Fast.  Long.  Short.  Show keyboard and character viewers 
in menu bar checked check box  Input Sources Change Keyboard Type, Modifyer 
keys, Setup Blue Tooth Keyboard, Help.  This is everythin on my Mac within the 
keyboard tab in System Preferences.  If anyone has any idea as to what I could 
do to remedy this I would greatly appreciate it because I would really like to 
have my F keys work normally.

Logitech Keyboard Problem Solved

[Scott Rumery]

Hello I wanted to let the group know that I have a solution for the issue that 
I was having with my new Logitech Wireless solar keyboard for Mac computers.  I 
was having a problem with the F keys on this keyboard.  It seems as though when 
you first begin using this keyboard that the F keys are set to perform hardware 
functions, and that means that in order to do some of the much needed V O 
commands you will have to hold down the F/N key in combination with the V O 
keys in order to have them work properly.  Well it turns out that by going to 
the Logitech website and downloading a program called Logitech Control Center 
for Mac and installing it that then the F keys work correctly.  It is still 
interesting that the check box is still missing in the System Preferences 
keyboard tab, but the important thing is that it works the way that I need it 
to.  Thank you all for the help with this.

Re: Logitech Keyboard Problem Solved

[Scott Rumery]

Hi I have not had any trouble with the battery on this particular solar 
keyboard.  Logitech does have a small app to monitor the charge that your 
keyboard has but it is not accessible with V O.  As far as the size, it is  a 
little larger than the aluminum keyboard that Apple sells, and no it is not 
foldable.  I got this one from Amazon and it cost me around 60 dollars.  That 
may seem a bit expensive, but for me it was well worth it because I was not 
happy with the one I got from Apple because I didn't like the form factor.  I 
have large hands and this keyboard is much better for me as the keys are a bit 
larger than those on the Apple keyboard.

Mac Mini Headphone Jack not Working

Hello, I forgot and left my Mac Mini on last night and when I put my headphones 
on this morning to begin using it there was no sound.  I checked to make sure 
that these headphones were still working and they are.  I even connected them 
to my usb sound card and that also didn't work.  Does anyone on the list have 
any suggestions as to what I cqan try next?

Yes the internal works just fine.  I am not getting any sound from the line in 
jack, and I am also not having luck with my usb sound card which I did have 
working last night, but when I woke my Mac  this morning was no longer working. 
 I did a Lion restore this morning and still no luck.  What should I look for 
in the sounds system preferences?

Safari Does Not Like This Site

[Scott Rumery]

Hello, I am having some big time trouble getting Safari to do anything on my 
library's website.  I get the irritating busy signal over and over again.  I 
was wondering if someone would be willing to go to 
http://www.sequoyahregionallibrary.org and let me know if you have the same 
result.  I am very happy for the most part with my experience with my Mac since 
I got it, but I sure hope that Apple will do something about this busy signal 
on Safari, and Google Chrome.

Help with Vocal for Mac

[Scott Rumery]

Hello, I have installed Vocal for Mac on my Mac and I also have the iPhone app 
installed on my iPhone.  I can see my Mac, but when I double tap on it I hear 
Voice Over tell me that my system has a new window.  I assume that this is a 
window that contains a passcode that I need to enter on my iPhone, but I cannot 
seem to find anything in this window.  As a matter of fact, even though Voice 
Over says that my system has a new window, there doesn't seem to be any window 
when I start navigating with my VO keys.  What am I missing?

Drop Box with Voice Over

[Scott Rumery]

Hello, I am trying to use Drop Box with my Mac Mini but when I open the program 
all that I hear is "Drop Box has no Windows".  Is there any way to use Drop Box

get it to work.

Captcha Solving on the Mac

[Scott Rumery]

åHello, I am trying to set up a Google Group for a Mac discussion group that I 
am starting but I cannot seem to get past the Captcha.  Is there any way to get 
past a Captcha on the Mac?  I know that one can go to www.solona.net, but 
whenever I try to go there Safari just shows me a message that says that Safari 
could not locate the server.  I am not sure if this means that Solona is no 
more, or if maybe I have the wrong url.  Any help will be greatly appreciated.

It's Days Like These

[Scott Rumery]

Hello, as the subject says it's days like the one that I just had that reminds 
me why I have made the switch from using a Windows computer to a Mac.  I spent 
today at my mother in laws house trying to disinfect her computer.  Let me tell 
you that it was a mess.  I know that the Mac is not completely immune from 
getting an infection, but it is far less likely to happen on a Mac than a 
Windows system.  I also like how stable my Mac is as compared to my Windows 
computer.  I have been on a Mac for about 3 months now, and even though it was 
a bit of a challenge learning my way around Lion, once I got comfortable with 
it, I must say that I don't even think twice about which system I am going to 
use.  It is Mac for me.  Now if I could only convince my mother in law to get a 
Mac.

Re: Audio hijack pro

[Scott Rumery]

If you go into the Audio Highjack menu look for something like License. 
Otherwise you can probably just go back to the website and purchase it from 
there.

3 Type:  /Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration 
4 Click Go. 
5 In the Finder window, locate the file named "NetworkInterfaces.plist" and

Using FaceTime Audio

[Scott Rumery]

After updating to OS 10.9.2 yesterday the first thing that I wanted to try was 
making an audio only call from my Mac. It took me some digging around to figure 
out how to place the call and then when I did figure this out my call kept 
failing.

After doing several searches on Google I stumbled across an Apple Support 
thread on the failure of FaceTime calls and I was able to follow some 
instructions that someone had posted to get it working on my Mac.

Here is a blog post that I wrote about this. I hope that if anyone else is 
having this issue that this will help them to fix it.

Can you enlighten the list as to how to do this? I looked all through the 
FaceTime interface yesterday and I didn't see anything about making a FaceTime 
audio call from there.

I just made the edit to reflect the fact that you can place the call from the

Re: Stability of the Mac

[Scott Rumery]

Hello Scott,

You will probably get a lot of varying opinions on this topic so you will have 
to decide which ones you will take seriously or not. Having said this let me 
first tell you that ever since I switched to using a Mac more than 3 years ago 
I have become probably one of the biggest Apple fan boys that there is, so my 
thoughts on this subject are going to have a strong Apple bias to them.

If you are wanting a computing environment  that is very stable compared  to 
what you are currently getting on the Windows platform then in my opinion you 
would be very happy with a Mac.

The instability of my Windows computer is exactly what helped me to make the 
decision to make the switch over 3 years ago.

I used to have to restart my Windows computer several times a day and now that 
I am on a Mac I hardly ever need to reboot.

You will notice that I said "hardly." I have had to restart my Mac once in a 
while due to lost speech or something, but as I stated with the use the word 
hardly this does not happen with any regularity.

Now having said all of this let me give you a little word of caution  about 
switching platforms. I teach blind people who make this switch how to use their 
Macs for a company called Fedora Outlier, LLC and one the biggest mistakes that 
people make is thinking that switching from a Windows computer over to a Mac 
computer is going to be easy.

It isn't as easy as one might think. After all you are going to have to learn 
how to use a totally different operating system and a new and different screen 
reader.

Now having said this if you are determined to learn the new platform and you do 
it correctly by this I mean that you don't try and learn everything in one day 
you can definitely  learn how to use a Mac very quickly.

One more thing. In response to your question as to whether or not a Mac is more 
stable than a Windows computer. Remember earlier when I said that when I was 
still using a Windows computer I would have to restart the computer several 
times a day, well with my current Mac which is 2012 Mac Book Pro with 4 
Gigabytes of ram I haven't had to restart it in about 2 weeks. My Mac is on 24 
hours a day. During the day when I am working I am actually using it, and at 
night the Mac will just sleep, but it hasn't been turned off in at least 2 
weeks now and VoiceOver is running flawlessly .

I hope that all of this helps you with your decision and if you need anything 
else please just ask.

Have a great day,

Scott Rumery

Re: Is there a trick to using VoiceOver to read mail messages in the Mail application?

[Scott Rumery]

I use the Jump command which is VO-J and it works every time. When you are 
finished with the message just press VO-J again to jump back to the messages 
table.

A WordPress Question

[Scott Rumery]

For those on the list that are experienced with using the hosted version of 
WordPress I have a question for you.

I am currently working on a project at work that requires me to write up blog 
posts that have a video recording in them.   I then  upload this video to our 
YouTube page. Now I know that I can just put the link to this video link the 
post, but I would actually like to have the video embedded on the page so it 
will show up as a frame. This was working a few days ago but for some reason it 
no longer works. I have tried using a YouTube plug in but still it doesn't work.

In reading some of the WordPress documentation for our installed version of 
WordPress which is 3.9.1 I have learned that this should work automatically by 
just pasting the url on its own line in the post but again this doesn't work 
for me.

My question to those who have experience with using the WordPress back end is: 
does the pasting of a naked url in a post on your site automatically embed the 
video in the post?

Thank you for any help with this issue.

Re: type2phone question

[Scott Rumery]

You have to make sure that VO is turned off in order for the arrow keys to work 
with your connected device.

Oh yeah, make sure that Type2Phone is the app that is in focus when you turn VO 
off.

Confirmation Of A VO Bug

[Scott Rumery]

 hello everyone,
I've been sitting here all day playing around with the new Mac operating system 
mavericks and I have just discovered what I believe is a VO bug and I just want 
some confirmation. Can someone try for me a noncontiguous selection in a list 
view?
Previously, I was able to do this by pressing VO command on an  item to add to 
my selection now all that  I received is in audible beep when I do this. Does 
anyone else find this to be true?

 Thank you, Scott

Stopping VO Speech

[Scott Rumery]

Hello,

I am having a bit of trouble with stopping VO when it gets too verbose. I am 
running Mavericks on a 2012 MacBookPro with Retina.

Whenever I try and stop VO from talking by pressing the Control key nothing 
happens. Does anyone have any suggestions as to what the problem may be. I have 
already tried resetting VO to the defaults but this doesn’t change the behavior 
.

Thanks for any help,

Evernote On Mac

[Scott Rumery]

Good morning all,

I am trying to use Evernote on my Mac and I can’t seem to locate the Sign In 
button. When I launch the application I am presented with 3 edit fields, Email, 
username, and password. After the password field I have some unlabeled buttons 
and a Register button. I already have an Evernote account so the Register 
button does not do me any good. Does anyone on the list know which of the 
unlabeled buttons might be the sign in button? After this I am going to contact 
their support staff about their lack of accessibility with their Mac app.

Thank you,
Scott Rumery

The FN Key

[Scott Rumery]

Hello,

I have just received my new wireless keyboard that I am loving except for one 
thing. On the right side of the spacebar the 3 keys are: Command, F/N, and 
Control. Now me being right handed and all I would prefer to have an option key 
on the right side of the spacebar so that it would make using VO a bit easier 
when I need to press a key combination that is on the left side of my keyboard.

Does anyone know if there is a way to change the F/N key into an option key?

Thank you,

Scott Rumery

Help From The Community

[Scott Rumery]

Hello everyone,

I hope that you all had a great Thanksgiving holiday and that now that we are 
all back to reality with work and all of the other things that we do on a daily 
basis that you will allow me the opportunity to let you  in on a little project 
of mine.

I recently learned of an accessible ebook reading application called Q-Read. 
This is currently only available on the Windows platform but I have been in 
contact with the developer who is blind and he has told me that if I can gather 
at least 40 Mac users who will agree to purchase the program once he builds it 
that he will indeed build it for the Mac.

My question for you all is, would you be interested in such a program on the 
Mac and if yes would you please let me know if you will purchase his 
application for $30 once it is built? His ultimate goal is to create cross 
platform software for the blind on Windows and Macs so once you buy one license 
you can use his software on whatever platform that you need it on.

 Please let me know privately at blindfait...@gmail.com if I can add your name 
to the list of participants for this project.


Thank You,

Scott Rumery

Re: Help From The Community

[Scott Rumery]

Again, all great points and thank you for putting the information up about the 
different formats. I agree, we should not simply dismiss the potential of this 
program just because we may not agree with things that the developer has done 
previously. Having said this I would hope that people would at least give it a 
look and make an educated decision on whether not they want to back the project.

Re: Help From The Community

[Scott Rumery]

Okay just to be clear on this. I am not asking anyone who has already purchased 
this program for Windows to purchase it again, if fact this is one of the 
reasons why I would like to get this project completed because Christopher the 
developer says that he would have a model in which if you owned one version 
such as the Windows version that you would also be able to use that program 
license on the other platform without having to purchase another license.

When I first approached him about making a Mac version of Q-Read, my intentions 
were completely selfish because I would like to have something like this 
available to us Mac users but as he and I talked via emails and he told me what 
it would take for him to put the time and expense into this project I told him 
that I would try and get him the 40 Mac users that he said he would need before 
getting started on this.

If you are not comfortable with agreeing to purchase a program sight unseen I 
am sure that we will have an opportunity to beta test this application before 
it is ready for release but don’t hold me to that one because I haven’t yet 
asked him if this will be the case or not. I am just assuming it is so because 
most software developers do like to have their software tested before they deem 
it done.

Again, I am only trying to get someone who has a talent for crating accessible 
software to realize that there are a lot of us on the Mac platform that would 
probably enjoy the chance to use some of his soft ware on our Macs and I 
thought that if I put the message out to the community that I would be able to 
round up the 40 Mac users that he has requested.

If after reading this you would like to be involved in making this project a 
reality just let me know and I will add you to my list, if not then that is 
fine as well, but please don’t bash someone for trying to do something that he 
believes would be a good thing for the blind Mac users out there. I am only 
trying to come up with a solution to a problem that I have on a daily basis and 
that is the lack of a truly accessible eBook and PDF reader on the Mac platform.

Thank you all for your indulgence and letting me get this out.

Re: Help From The Community

Not true. There are thousands of free ePub books available on the Internet if 
you are willing to just look for them, and those of us who self publish our own 
writings usually create drm free eBooks that can be read with such a program.

I am not saying that Q-Read for the Mac will be the only solution for this type 
of thing but as of right now I don’t of any other programs that do this that 
are completely accessible.

Re: Help From The Community

I agree that the ability to read Kindle books and iBooks on the Mac would be 
great and I know technically we can read iBooks on the Mac but until Apple 
improves the accessibility of it I do not consider it a real option for us. At 
least for Kindle content we do now have good access to these on iOS, I just 
wish that we would get one of these companies to pay attention to the Mac 
platform as well.

Re: Help From The Community

Lets remember that just because you can’t justify this type of program, that 
doesn’t mean that there aren’t others out there that would like to have such a 
solution. These are the types of people that I am looking for. I do however 
very much appreciate all of your comments on this because it does give me some 
ideas about what the potential market for such an application might be.

Hi Hope

This is Scott from the All In Access podcast which by the way you haven’t  made 
your debut on yet. I have a document with all of the VoiceOver keystrokes I 
will put this in my public DropBox folder for anyone who might want it.

If when you get your new Mac you find that you are having a difficult time 
learning the new platform I work for a company that teaches people how to use 
their Apple equipment and if you would like to have some one on one teaching 
just contact us at http://www.fedoraoutlier.com and we can work out the details.

I definitely  agree with your comment about the similarities and when I teach

make comparisons  to Windows because this is what they know.

Skype Issue

[Scott Rumery]

Hello,

I am having an issue with Skype lately in which the keyboard command for 
hanging up a call does not work unless I go into the menu bar and arrow over to 
Conversation. Once I do this I can dismiss the menu bar by pressing the escape 
key and then my keyboard will work properly. This has been going on for several 
weeks now. Is anyone else our there having a similar issue with Skype on their 
Mac? If so, have you found any way to make the command work the way that it is 
suppose to?

Thank you for any help that you can give me.

Mission Control

[Scott Rumery]

Hello All,

I am exploring Mission Control on my Mac because I have heard that you can set 
up multiple desktops in it. For instance, I have a work related Safari website 
that I need quick access to during my workday and I would like to be able to 
use Mission Control to make this a desktop
 so that I can quickly flip over to it when I need it.

My question for the group is, has anyone used Mission Control on their Mac, and 
if so, would they be willing to point me in the right direction for learning 
how to use it?

Thank you for any feedback,
Scott Rumery

Re: Announcing the Beta of Talking Dashboard

[Scott Rumery]

Hi Alex,

Thank you for these. I want to at some point learn how to write my own Apple 
Scripts but as of yet I haven't started that task.

As I clicked on your link Safari opened but all that I had was an empty html 
content area, so thinking that something went wrong, I clicked on it again, and 
again, and then one more time before I got the bright idea to check my 
Downloads folder to see if what I was actually doing was downloading this file 
over, and over again.

Sure enough, I had about 4 copies of the file which brings me to my question 
for you. Would it be possible for you to write an Apple Script that could give 
the user some confirmation when a download had actually started and ended? This 
would be a great piece
 of information to have.

Thanks and have a great day,
Scott Rumery

VM Ware Help Needed

[Scott Rumery]

Hello,

I have a  client who is trying to use VM Ware with a Windows 7 install on their 
Mac Mini and he has run into a problem. When he tries to use his Virtual 
install of Windows whenever he presses a key on his keyboard Windows is 
registering the key press several times. This is  making it unusable by my 
client. I instructed him to check the Ease of Access Center on the Windows 
install to check and see if Sticky keys is enabled, but beyond that I am not 
sure what else could be causing this problem. Is there anyone on the list that 
has had this happen to them? I would really like to know how you resolved this.

Thank you,
Scott Rumery

Re: Anyone Using a Logitech K750 or K760 Bluetooth Keyboard

[Scott Rumery]

I would like to say that I have been using the K750 for almost 2 years now on 
my Mac and I love it. I tried using the Apple usb Mac keyboard but for me it 
just wasn't comfortable enough for me.

I am however very interested in trying the K760 keyboard as this one is a solar 
BlueTooth keyboard that you can pare to up to 3 different computers/iOS devices 
at the same time.

Re: Anyone Using a Logitech K750 or K760 Bluetooth Keyboard

[Scott Rumery]

Thank you for letting us know what you think of this keyboard. David 
Woodbridge's podcast on this keyboard is where I first heard about it and it is 
the ability to quickly switch from one device to the other that has me thinking 
of getting it.

Accessible Speed Test?

[Scott Rumery]

Hello,

Does anyone have any idea of an accessible speed test for the Mac? Our Internet 
has slowed down dramatically
 over the last couple of days and I want to run a test to see what we are 
actually getting.

Re: interacting

[Scott Rumery]

Try to press VO+J instead of using the Enter key. This is the jump command and 
when you do this the VO cursor jumps from the message list into the message 
content area and it interacts automatically
. To jump back to the message list just press VO+J again and you will go back 
to your list of messages.

Re: And where on earth have they put the search box in Safari?

No you don't. The location bar is now a unified search and url edit field. This

in the location bar and then press Return or Go, I can't remember which one it 
is.

Odd Problem With Amadeus Pro

[Scott Rumery]

Hello,

I am having an odd problem with Amadeus Pro.  I installed the 30 day trial of 
the program and I was having an issue where every time I launched the program 
the previous sound file that I was working on would always open on launch.  
That in and of itself is not unusual but the problem is that I cannot close 
this window.  When I press command Q, or command W all that I get is a buzzing 
sound.  The only way that I can exit the program is to force quit.

The other problem is that I cannot open a new sound project or do anything with 
this open project.  All of the items are dimmed.  

I have uninstalled and reinstalled with no luck.  I have also repaired disc 
permissions thinking that this would fix the problem, still no luck.

Does anyone out there have any suggestions as to what the problem could be?  I 
would love to get this fixed as I would like to be able to use this program.  I 
should also mention that I did purchase the program thinking that maybe the 
problem was some kind of limitation that the demo version had, still no luck.

Thank you,

Drop Box Issue

[Scott Rumery]

Hello,

How do I remove someone from a shared folder?  I have been trying to do this 
from the Drop Box website but I can't seem to get it done.  I am hoping that 
someone on this list has done this before and maybe will help me to do this.

YoruFukurou

[Scott Rumery]

Hello listers,

I have been using YoruFukurou  since I moved over to the Mac more than a year 
ago.  I tried several Twitter clients since I have been using a Mac and I find 
that YoruFukurou  is about the best when it comes to accessibility, but I do 
have one problem with the program.  When I am trying to reply to someones tweet 
by pressing the return key on my keyboard for some reason YoruFukurou  is 
selecting a different tweet than the one Voice Over is reading.  The only way 
that I can seem to get YoruFukurou  to reply to the correct tweet is to 
interact with that specific tweet and then press return.  My question to the 
group is, is this the way that YoruFukurou  is suppose to behave or am I doing 
something wrong?

Re: YoruFukurou

[Scott Rumery]

Yes this was the issue here.  I found the solution just after posting my 
message.  Another thing is that you need to have quicknav turned off and you 
need to use the dedicated arrow keys instead of using the number pad.  This was 
my problem, I have a keyboard with a number pad and I use numpad commanders for 
using VO.

Amazon Cloud Player

[Scott Rumery]

Hello,

Has anyone here had any luck using the Amazon Cloud Player either through 
Safari or with the Mac client?  I would like to be able to import my music up 
to it so that I can access all of my music using the iPhone app as I like the 
iPhone app.  Every time I try and do this from the browser I am told that Flash 
needs to be updated even though I have downloaded the latest version from 
Adobe.  Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Re: Virus invasion

[Scott Rumery]

Mary,

There is no need to pay Apple $200 to do something that you can do yourself at 
home.  Remember that unlike on Windows we can reinstall the operating system 
ourselves without any sighted assistance what so ever.

What makes you think that your Mac has an infection?  I believe that it is 
highly unlikely that your Mac has a virus but as we all know just because we 
are using a Mac does not mean that we are immune.

I would like to invite you all to listen to our podcast that Mike Milarcy and 
Marcy Weinberg and myself are doing. Some of you may already be aware of Mikes
