Zoom, and Voiceover accessibility information
Good afternoon guys. I haven’t written in a while so I thought I might field a question in hopes that somebody can help direct me where i need to go. I am a librarian for the Library for the blind and Physically Handicapped here in Alabama. I have a patron needing anything on voiceover and Zoom, things as far as how to use it, how accessible etc. I’ve given him some pointers and information but I don’t know how to host a Zoom conference, just join those when I get invites and such. Are there instructions on using Zoom with Voiceover either with Cattalina or IOS so he can get started? He may be hosting a few things from time to time so was just curious. Anything anyone can come up with would be great. Thanks. -- The following information is important for all members of the Mac Visionaries list.

Re: Zoom, and Voiceover accessibility information
ian and guys, my patron has gotten the book from Jonathan Mosen and is learning like a champ. Thanks for all the resources and responses I got on this. I’ve saved these in a folder for my future use as well later down the line.

Apple watch and new Apple ID
Good morning all. My wife and I have shared the same Apple ID for years for whatever reason. We're now using separate IDS. She's able to sign in on her phone fine. However, her watch gives a notification that in order to complete a purchase she needs to sign into my ID. Ihe's reset and re-pared the watch with the same results. We are using the family sharing. She has been added as a family member and I have allowed purchases and such to be shared between us. What's going on. Does she need to sign into my ID on her watch?she shouldn't but I wondered if I might be missing something. Any help here would be appreciated. Thanks guys. -- The following information is important for all members of the Mac Visionaries list.

Using FaceTime to make phone calls with your iPhone in Hand-off
Good morning y’all, I’m just loaded with questions today. I think we got the apple watch issue solved this morning but I appreciate the accessibility number I may need that later on. At any rate, I have another question. Since working at home I was thinking of using FaceTime and hand-off to make and receive phone calls while I’m working since I’m at the computer instead of juggling cell phone and mac back and forth. I went to do this this morning and dialed my voicemail fine, but I can’t seem to navigate to a keypad to enter the user id and pin to access my voicemail. I can place and receive calls great, but can’t seem to do the other. What am I missing. I used to play with this a long time ago and without practice I have totally forgot. Thanks guys for any help here, as always. You guys are an invaluable connection to have for sure. take care and talk to you soon. -- The following information is important for all members of the Mac Visionaries list.

Re: Okay, I Think I'm Addicted, to the New Apple Journalling App for iOS 17.2 or Later
Mark, this is Tim in Alabama. I agree. I hae become absolutely addicted to i and use it daily. So much so, that I have drifted away from facebook and am in the process of deleting my account because honestly that was what I wap uing facebook for, and all the ads and infrequent accessibility junk made it not worth it. The Journalig app came along and totally chaged the game for me. I really like i⋅ Glad to see somebody else enjoying it too. Between it, and starting to use Apple book exclusively for my reading and book consumption lately along of course, with Bard, I'm totally ensconced in the Apple ecoysem all the way.

Re: Braille displays
hey Becky, there are a lot of different ways to read braille, on the mac, using lion or snow leopard which I use at work, so it's a matter of personal preference. I use a refreshabraille on both my Ipad and now my mac, since it is interchangeable, but i have a focus 40 blue that I use on occasion that the state bought me for work, but I prefer the refreshabraille over that because of its size and the keyboard isn't as clunky as on the focus, but I digress. There are a lot of ways to translate files to read but it won't read straight brf files, you haveto translate them into epub files that willbe recognized by Itunes if you do it on anIdevice or translated into text to read on thedesktop, but it canbe done. If you have any questions about this let me know as I am a strong braillereader and was a little aggravated when Iwent apple until I found a work-around. but, like I said, it'sall a matter of personal preference as to what Sent from my iPad On Apr 5, 2012, at 7:17 AM, Becky Knaub wrote: > hi guys, > I didn't ever have the lap top just the old apple 2 e and I just had to cary > the perkins from class to class in middle and high school until I went to > overbook.

Re: How To Import WebBraille Books Into IBooks
Thanks Theresa, i appreciate this, this method is a lot easier than I was going through the steps with so if you don't mind I am going to share this with one of my patrons here at the library. I work with the braille collection here at the Library for the Blind and also handle technology and alternative reading methods and this goes right up there with what I do perfectly. Thanks for the trick and I'll pass this along if you don't mind. I've been using web braille on Itunes but I've been doing it the hard way using a braille translator, a book converter, like Stanza, and all that junk, but this makes it easier.

Conecting a Romeo pro 50 to a Mac Mini Using Louis Braille translator
Hi guys, this is Tim in Alabama. I'm still stumped on something and thought you might be able to help. I have a Romeo pro 50 here, with a serrial connection using a serrial to Usb adapter. I am tryng to use it with Louis Braille the free translator that was out for the mac, and I know it can emboss but I' not sure how to set up the printer to work. If anyone has any ideas on what settings I need on the printer, now to get to them, and what they need to be before Louis can recognize it and print from the serrial to usb adapter i have, that would be great. Thanks and take care, hope to hear from you soon. This is the mac Mni at work, running snowleopard by the way. Thanks and take care.

Re: odd question on mac sounds
Ricardo I have tried this, just to see and Ihave noticed a definite difference. VO is already snappy regardless of how you cut it but when you turn off those effects, if you have other things set right, the snappiness is right there. It's a nice contrast if you get tired of the sounds. And if you want them back on, then by all means you can go back in and turn them on. I love having those choices. Sorry had to chime in here and agree the snappy is definitely noticeable when the effects are muted or turned off.

Re: Looking for a good stereo bluetooth headset.
Hey Alison I use a Motorola HD10, which is a really good stereo bluetooth headset. The book Port does't have bluetooth capabilities, I wish it did but currently it does not. But, this particular headset works really well, batery life is great and the sound is quite nice as well. Not sure if it has two modes or not, but the buttons are very accessible and it is easy to pair with whatever you want to pair that with. Hope this helps and you might want to take a look at Amazon, Best Buy or something like that. But, it's the Motorola HD10, it's a step up from the motorola S9 that was previously released.

Downcast qustion
Good morning guys. I wanted to ask your opinion on Downcast for the Mac. Is it worth the $9.99 or would I be wasting the money. I’ve got a little on a gift card and was considering it but didn’t want to waste it if it was not worth it. Any ideas would be appreciated.

Blogging sites
Hey guys, I have a question and I sent this to both the Vi-Phone list and the Mac Visionaries list because I'm curious.

I'm not on twitter or Facebook near as much but would love to have a writing outlet to sort of keep going on occasion. Thanks for any help and I appreciate it.

Re: Blogging sites
I'm taking a look here now. Thanks for the direction guys, as soon as I decide to throw one up there and get started I'll let everyone know how to take a look if you like. I was a big twitter and facebook nut for awhile but I sort of got disenfranchised with both of them for different reasons and it seems like Wordpress allows for a little more control on things and the like, so I'm strongly considering this as an alternative and a good way to get some of my other writing out there as well, so who knows. Thanks for all that everybody has done to chime in and I appreciate all the help. You guys are awesome. Take care and I'll talk to you guys soon.

Blogging
Hi guys, I cross posted this because I'll take any assistance I can get. i just started a blog on wordpress. I know there are settings and such that you can adjust, namely putting an Rss feed to your blog. How does one navigate the settings and features, how accessible is it using Safari and the Mac, or is it best to use the iPhone app or is there an app that works with wordpres that gives you more accessibility than others. Just learning my way around so I'm curious. I would alos like to invite folks to follw and that sort of thing but not sure how to do that. I'm also interested in linking it to goodreads and audioboo, but haven't gotten there yet. I'm getting closer but the site seems to refresh a lot and I've gotten a little firather in the app itselfbut I'm still not familiar with how all the settings work. Any help would be appreciated.

Deleting messages from the server when you delete from mial
Hi guys, I am curious about something and I couldn't find it in the setting sso I'll take any help I can get.How do you go about deleting messages from the server either ronde you delete in mail or once they're downloaded so they don't keep coming back. I'm running mountain lion, 10.84 I believe is the update )I meant 10.8.4 I think is the way that is) with mail 6.5 I've got an exchange server set up from work, and my gmail account is set up on iMap. Is iMap the reason you can't actually delete the mail, does it keep showing up or is there a way to get rid of it as you finsih and delete it. Just curious. I definitely need more coffee, I'm thinking it has to be that it's iMap but not sure. any help would be appreciated. Thanks guys.

Another totally unrelated question
Thanks Sarai and folks for the answer on my mail. Got that straightened out. Now, I have one for you. See, I told you I would get coffee and find something else. How do you go about formatting a Usb drive, or Nls cartridge on the mac. I've missed this one and thought I had it and can't find anything to show me where I need to go and format a drive. I had a linux system that I had downloaded some Nls books on a cartridge and some other files. In the process Linux left a few unsavory somethings not he cartridge that I wanted to wipe clean and make it brand new again but I can't get in and find the formatting option anywhere. I used to be able to find it but i haven't had to use it in so long and MountainLion is a little different than snow leopard was at work when I had to use this then, so just a bit stuck. But, I can get info but I can't find where to format the drive. Thanks again and take care. I promise after this one I'll go back to my corner, Lol. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "MacVisionaries" group.

Re: Lost all iPhone sounds including voiceover locational sounds
Hey Mark, not sure if this has been tried or not but I'll v entire an idea. Try and do a warm reboot if you will, hit the screen lock key six times in rapid succession. This restarts the iPhone and should bring voiceover back to what it is supposed to do. I have had that happen a few times but this seems to clear it up without a problem. If anybody else wants to chime in, or if I've got this wrong let me know but this is what I'd do. Thanks and hope this helps. Take care.

Re: FCC seeks comment on Amazons request for waiver of accessibility requirements
Really? A friend ofmine and a patron, were discussing this earlier. Their excuse is, that it will make the device weigh more. how does addedda ccessibility in software make it heavier? I know it might effect the batery but not by that much. You can't rely on Apple to carry you folks, that's not how this thing works. i know this is why they focus so much now on the app and have left the devices out in hopes that Apple will carry them. I get the complaint that it will cost money, but so what. I as a blind onsumer want or would love a Kindle paperwhite, or a Kindle fire one day because it's just a little more affordable for my budget than say another iPad, but you're telling me you don't want my money and you're not going to make a device that I can use and you're going to not give me accessibility so I can help increase your market? oor thinking on their part. I heard about this this morning and can't believe it but then I can. Amazon is always good about making excuses and finding loopholes to get out of accessibility. In the same vain though, I have to say this much. Apple set a standard that we all expect now because it just works and is the right thing to do. Amazon has b een doing this thing a little longer, and they've got this cloud thing down, but they have always refused to make it accessible or sticking a bandaid over it and making it better. Don't get me wrong, I love the app, use it daily, on both my phone and iPad, but if one of those breaks I might want to go grab a Kindle from wherever and have it already set up to get my books and media content just like my sighted peer over there, or my wife. And, you're telling me no? I shouldn't have to find a workaround to get your prodcuts to work they should say, it should be made accessible. No questions asked, either get it done or close it up but we all know that doesn't work that way. Ok, I'm coming off my soap box and getting some braille books ready to send patrons this afternoon, my public is calling for the real stuff, but that's my take. They need to rethink this whoel thing and stop making sniveling excuses as to why, and just make it work. If we, as a public made excuses as to why we can't do our job, you know what would happen? Yeah. Gone. Outta here, close it up. Same principle should hold here, it should be mandatory for things of that nature, all access, all inclusive. Done. Ok, I stop now, take care guys. sorry for the rambble and getting off on a tangient but when Amazon and these other Ereaders go and do something like this and I'm excluded I'm a bit aggravated.

Best, Donna Request for Comment on Petition for Class Waiver of Accessibility Rules for ACS On August 1, 2013, the Federal Communication Commission (FCC) released a Public Notice requesting comment on a petition filed by the Coalition of E-Reader Manufacturers. The Coalition requests that the Commission waive its rules requiring equipment used for advanced communications services (ACS) to be accessible by people with disabilities. The Coalition states that, although e-readers are equipment that consumers can use for ACS, they are designed primarily for reading.

Re: How to add and remove friends/followers in YoruFukurou
Mark, when you have Yourufukuru open go to your followers, and ollowing tab, I think it's command L, I can't run the program at work they have me blocked from it at the moment, not sure why, but go there, and go to the name of the person you're looking to remove, and move over to column 4 or 5 one of those I forget whih, and there is a button that says menu button. click that, and activate the menu, and go down to unfollow or stop following. Hope this helps and if I got it wrong I apologize but I believe that's the procedure. Hope that helps.

Re: Radio player for Mac
Hey, Rod and anybody else using Radium. If I find a station say in iHeart Radio, or tune in and I want to add the stream, how do I go about it and what works. I've done the command equals thing, and get the place to add it, I add it give a short description but when I tap save it does nothing. Am I missing something? Any help here would be appreciated, this is going to quickly become my app of choice on the mac for radio especially if I can get this little p[ortion working. It's the best $7 I've spent.

Re: Weird login prompt appears on my Mac Mini
I have no thoughts at the moment but this happened with my mac Book Pr, that's just about a year old maybe just a little more but not by much. I ended up having to run a system restore not a complete reinstall but a restore or reset, basically creating a new user account, deleting the old one and starting not quite from scratch but close to it, and I've had no problems with it since I did that but I've seen this not sure why it did this and when you hit guest it goes belly up and everything flounders and dies. Voiceover would even almost freeze on me in the middle of this thing, but I had to basically go i9n, restart, and choose new user or guest from the main restart area, and log into the guest account that way and recreate and shift things around to reset everything. Hope this helps, trying to get coffee down me this morning but I've seen it, but only in ML so not sure what's going on or if anybody can explain it. I've not had this happen since the latest few updates so not sure what's up. Take care and talk to you soon.

Re: Kindle now accessible on IOS with Voiceover.
Nope, no joke, I thought the same thing too until I tried it and actually read a chapter and a half of a book I've been looking at on the other Kindle keyboard with just speech, with my bluetooth braille display connected to my iPhone. Talk about nice, and I hear that all the rest of the books are available, no matter if speech is enabled or not now, since we can read them with voiceover. I'm really excited, and being a librarian at the Regional Library for the Blind here in Alabama, I've got a few patrons who are kindle users to a degree and this is exactly what we and they have been waiting for. I'm pumpe because my wife and I have had a kindle for a while her longer than me, because they just a few years ago allowed for accessibility of sorts, in the Kindle Keyboard, so we've got a ton of books, now that the app is accessible I am going to be a reading fool. Have fun and take care.

Hulu, accessibility on both th phone iPad and APPLE Tv.
Sent from my iPhoneHi guys, I have a curious accessibility question I need some assistance with. I just started, or I shoud a, my family and I just go id of cable and ae uing Hulu, Neflix, ime, and oomarang for our cable services, and are pretty excited about it. However, I have some questions and a few issues. Hulu, for instance. I noticed I can't seem to navigate it on the IPhone 7 plus, or the IPad Mini. Are there some tricks that work with making it accessible with voiceover? Is it accessible on the Apple Tv 4th Gen? Also, Boomarang seems to have the same interface. Is there any suggestions you can give me on that?Ne!flix is great, and so is prime, but Hulu is my bump in the road as it were. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks for any help you can give.
