Re: download manager or any suggestions?

[Venkatesh Potluri]

Internet download manager also improves the download speed. Is there any 
alternative for the Mac to get that advantage as well?
Thanks.

looktel recogniser -- also a money reader?

[Venkatesh Potluri]

Hi listers.
Can the looktel recognizer also be used as a money reader? despite the
existence of a money reader, I am asking this question as it doesn't
recognize indian currency, at least to my knowledge. I wrote to
looktel a couple of times asking them about currency support for india
and got no response. :(
Thanks in advance

accessing Facebook info from command line

[Venkatesh Potluri]

Hi
I want to build a text-only Facebook client that can be used either
through an HTML interface or a command line interface that can be used
from the terminal. I wish to know if it is possible to access a user's
notifications, messages, request, etc and do small things like post
status updates using c, python, bash scripts, or html. It would be
great if you could point me to an appropriate resource to get started.
Thanks in advance.

Re: Solving a capcha problem

[Venkatesh Potluri]

Hi
yes, you can. in most of the popular sites, you find an option to try
an audio capture. you will listen a few numbers or, in some cases,
words along with a lot of background speech. you should be able to
type only the numbers that you hear.
I would suggest you use headphones while doing this for better results.
I would like to add to the question.
I often don't succeed in entering the words or numbers successfully.
well, am I not so good at it just yet, or are there any tips that
would make this process easier?
Thank you.

iPhone 4S: is it really awesome?

[Venkatesh Potluri]

Hi listers.
I am currently using an iPhone 3Gs. I am considering to get a new 4S.
I have a few questions. I am sorry for a long email. the 4S is an
expensive purchase so I wish to be very sure before I decide.


1. I watched many videos of siri. from that, I learn it is really good
in speech recognition. well, since you will be using it daily, what do
you think about it's recognition capabilities? How good is it at
texting? I also saw a couple of posts in this list about vo and siri
not working properly together. Does it really prove to be
inconvenient?
2. text dictation.
I read that there is an option to say the text we wish to type in an
edit field on pressing a microphone button on the keyboard. Is this
only in the messages app or works in any edit field (even in 3rd party
apps like Facebook and whatsapp messenger)? and, how is the accuracy
of the recognition?
3. Looktel apps on 3GS vs 4S
I am planning to purchase the money reader and the recognizer in the
near future. Is there a significant performance difference in terms of
recognition time and accuracy?
4. VO and battery in 3Gs vs 4S
since updating to iOs5, VO lags quite often. It responds late when I
move my finger on the touch keyboard and by the time I remove my
finger, it enters a different character from what I actually intended
to enter. Does this happen in the 4S too? and how is the battery life
of the phone after the 5.1 update?
Your suggestions would be of great value and will help me in making
the right choice.
Thank you for reading this long list of questions.
Regards
Venkatesh

A few queries related to programming: vim, configuration files, etc

[Venkatesh Potluri]

Hello listers. I have a few questions related to programming on the
mac. I frequently code in C, C++, Python and Java, and I often come
across situations where I have to edit configuration files for a few
applications, etc.
1. what is the best editor or IDE?
I have tried using vim from the terminal but, I face a difficulty in
navigating around the text  and editing it. VO reads some text, when I
take the curser to the place I want to edit and Hit the delete key,
text from else where gets deleted. Am I doing something wrong?
Is there any way to use xCode to open a blank file, code in the
language I prefer(at least C ), and run the code? I guess doing this
would help me use the auto complete features of xCode.
2. how do I edit configuration files using text edit or some other GUI editor?
sinse vim was not of any help to me, I tried to edit configuration
files in textedit using the open command from the terminal. but, in
come cases, after editing, I get an error while saving saying " you
don't own this file ". I am in the " sudo su " mode, stil I get this
error.
I request you to give your valuable suggestions or workarounds at the
earliest as I am unable to do my course assignments and loosing
grades.
Thank you in advance.
Cheers

Facebook chat and iChat

Hi listers.
Wish you all a happy new year!
I have a few doubts regarding chatting with Facebook friends.
as the Facebook chat is not accessible, Can you suggest me a good chat
client that is accessible and works well with Facebook?
I recently learned that iChat can be used for this purpose. however, I
am unable to view my friend lists in iChat. I setup my account such
that I always appear offline to a few lists. if I am using iChat, will
those people be able to see me online?
Thank you.

getting started with garageband

[Venkatesh Potluri]

Hi list.
I am very happy about the fact that the new garage band is accessible.
I am getting started with garageband. I wish to know the list of
things that can and can not be done with garageband and VO. For
starters, I tried to drag a loop into one of the tracks and the loop
got inserted after a few bars in the track. That is, the first few
bars are empty. How do i fix this? How do I go about creating new
loops? Is there any podcast or tutorial that explains using garageband
with VO?  These are just a few questions.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. :)

Re: getting started with garageband

[Venkatesh Potluri]

Hi.
Thanks for all your help. Im making my self familiar with garage band.
I have another problem.
I am unable to insert loops at specific positions   in tracks. I am
playing the arrangement until I reach the point where I wish to insert
the new loop in a new track. I am navigating to the loops, selecting
the desired loop, performing a mouse down(VO+command+shift+space). I
am releasing the mouse curser after i interact with the tracks
contents and VO says area below tracks. This does the job in most
cases but inserts the loop at the wrong place at times. What is the
correct way to do this?
Thanks in advance.
Cheers

accessible poker game for mac or iOs

I would like to know if there are any accessible poker games for the

I am looking for a free alternative.

Re: Setting pdf Files to Open in Preview?

[Venkatesh Potluri]

Hi.
Starting with mavericks, opening PDFs has not been accessible for me.
All the PDFs open in the adobe plugin. For this to happen, I have to
click some where in the centre of the screen and tell safari to trust
the website. How do I get safari to open PDFs like before?
I hope I made my concern clear.
Thanks,
Venkatesh Potluri

Hi list.
I am planning to buy a new macbook. I need your suggestion on
upgrading the macbook.
I would like to go for the 15-inch MacBook pro with retina display.
I am wondering if upgrading to 512 GB flash storage would be necessary.
I am also not sure if upgrading the memory(RAM) to 16GB would be necessary.
If I enrol for apple care, Will I have the warranty  valid in india? I
am talking about a MacBook purchase that will not need an  upgrade for
4 to 5 years.
I am a VO user and use my MacBook for basic coding, iOs and android
app development, occasionally playing light weight games. I will have
to run software like matlab, logic and garageband at times.
I am unable to decide between the following configurations.

configuration1:
*   2.3GHz Quad-core Intel Core i7, Turbo Boost up to 3.5GHz
*   8GB 1600MHz DDR3L SDRAM
*   256GB PCIe-based Flash Storage
*   Intel Iris Pro Graphics
*   Apple care protection plan for macbook pro
configuration 2:
*   2.3GHz Quad-core Intel Core i7, Turbo Boost up to 3.5GHz
*   16GB 1600MHz DDR3L SDRAM
*   256GB PCIe-based Flash Storage
*   Intel Iris Pro Graphics
*   apple care protection plan for macbook pro

configuration 3:

*   2.3GHz Quad-core Intel Core i7, Turbo Boost up to 3.5GHz
*   16GB 1600MHz DDR3L SDRAM
*   512GB PCIe-based Flash Storage
*   Intel Iris Pro Graphics
*   NVIDIA GeForce GT 750M with 2GB GDDR5 memory

Please suggest.

Using google docs with voiceover

[Venkatesh Potluri]

Hi list,
I have a few doubts about using google docs with VoiceOver.
I managed to read through google's documentation on using google docs
with screen readers and as suggested there, I use it in safari by
enabling and disabling QuickNav to do certain tasks. I am able to
create documents, name them, and copy-paste text into them from
textEdit. The reason behind using TextEdit to write the document is I
am unable to navigate in the document to make changes after typing it
in google docs. How do I do this? That is, How do I navigate to a
particular line or a word after typing it and edit it? How do I add
specific comments by selecting text in the document? As of now, I am
using the Docs app on iOS to select text and add comments. How ever, I
would be more comfortable to do this on my computer keyboard (if there
is a possibility).
I am unable to access the options in the menus. I just hear the sound
VO makes when a PopUp box is activated and the first few options in
the menu when I press down aero(QuickNav turned on) or VO+Down Aero
(QuickNav off) after activating the menu. How do I do this?
Specifically, I would want to export the document and share it with
others in most cases.
Any help or suggestions would be of great value.
Thank you.

Venkatesh Potluri

recording iPhone screen using quicktime

[Venkatesh Potluri]

Hi,

I am recording the iPhone’s screen using quicktime. I chose the iPhone as
the video source and my macbook’s internal microphone for audio. I intend
to record a video of using a specific app with voiceover and my narration.
I assumed that voiceover would speak out and it’s output will be captured
by my macbook’s microphone along side my narration. However, Voiceover
stops speaking when I am recording the video. What am I doing wrong here?

Is there any better way or app to do this?

Thank you.

Regards,

Venkatesh

Downloading music for offline listening on apple music

[Venkatesh Potluri]

Hi,

I was very happy to know that apple music is available at launch and hopped
on the minute I downloaded 8.4. So far, I have been very satisfied with the
service. However, I am facing a few issues with regards to iCloud music
library and downloading songs for offline listening on IOS and iTunes on Os
X.


IOS:



 I have been able to download entire albums and playlists on to my iPhone
by tapping the more button after opening the album or playlist. When i try
to download individual songs in an album or playlist for offline listening,
I am unable to do so. This is also the case when searching the songs from
the radio or any other screen in apple music. However, if I go to the new
tab, and then double tap and hold on a song, I am given the option to make
available offline, along with the other options to add to my music, etc. I
am also able to double tap and hold on the songs I search for from the new
screen. (No, double tapping on a song from an album or playlist does not
bring up any menu and plays the song). How can I add individual songs when
I am using an album, playlist or artist?

What is the difference between "add to my music" and "add to library”?



iTunes on Os X:

How do I download music for offline listening?

I am not sure about how to download tracks, albums, artists or playlists
for offline listening in iTunes. The only way I am able to do this is by
going to the my music option, searching for a song already added to my
music via apple music on IOs, interacting with the song and pressing the
download button. (I use list view for my music). I am able to download my
playlists with some additional songs from apple music by selecting the
playlist, interacting with a header by the name of the playlist and
pressing the download button.

How do I know if my iTunes library finished syncing with iCloud music
library?

 I haven’t used iTunes match or purchased any music from iTunes so please
excuse me for the long email. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you.

Venkatesh Potluri

error checking and playgrounds in xCode6.4

[Venkatesh Potluri]

Hi,

I have a few questions regarding Xcode 6.4.

1. How do I identify and navigate to the line of code that causes an error
while building and running an app?

I managed to locate the issue navigator and it says " Swift compiler error
" . How do I navigate to the exact line that is causing the error?
Moreover, how can I access and apply Xcode suggestions (when they are
available)?

2. When I use a swift playground, I understand that the code is run as I
type. Where can I find this output?

thanks in advance.

Regards,

Venkatesh

adding segWays and storyboard entry points using VoiceOver

[Venkatesh Potluri]

Hi,

How do we add segWays in xCode?

I have a demo app with 2 viewControllers (2 viewController scenes in
effect). My aim is to add a button to 1 ViewController that would take me
to the other. I could partially do this.

>From the library, I dragged a button on to the view inside the first
viewController in the main storyboard. From the connections inspector of
the button, I dragged the button next to action to the second
viewController. Here, I would want to select the show option. However,
VoiceOver does not speak any options in the small pop over that is
displayed. I was told about a popover being present with cited assistance.
How do I accomplish this with VoiceOver? I thought dragging a button next
to show in the connections inspector would help. However, under the trigger
segways, action is the only option.

also, How do I change the storyboard entry point from 1 viewController to
the other?

Thank you.

Regards,

Venkatesh

VoiceOver does not speak images in the UIImagePickerController

[Venkatesh Potluri]

Hi list,
I am trying to develop an app. a part of the functionality is that the user 
should be able to select a photo stored on the device. For this, I am using 
the UIImagePickerController. There are 2 issues I noticed when running the 
project on my iPhone.
1. After I hit the button and grant the app access to my photos, I am 
presented with different options (selfies, etc) each of these options is 
being spoken as an edit field. How do I fix this?
2. After I choose a category say, selfies, VoiceOver does not give any 
output. When I verified with cited assistance, I was told that the user is 
presented with a grid of photos from which he or she can select. My 
expected behaviour is that VoiceOver speaks details of each photo (date 
taken, etc) as the user swipes or explores the screen (similar to most apps 
that ask us to select photos).

As I am using a default UI element, should it not be accessible already? 
How do I make this view accessible?

I posted this earlier but was not sure if it reached the list. I am sorry 
if this post is a duplicate of my original.
Thank you and best regards,
Venkatesh

Re: Anyone else disappointed with the "big" apple event

[Venkatesh Potluri]

I’m very disappointed too.

To start off, there was nothing surprising about the event. everything (the 
iPhone, the iPad pro and one of the watch bands) were expected. They announced 
“folders” as a new feature in the event… seriously? it would have been ok if 
they demoed how entering passwords using siri would work on the appleTV. Though 
I don’t own an appleTV, i was disappointed to see features like that being 
announced at an event at that scale.

and the iPhone SE… Though it was expected to have similar features to the 
iPhone 6S with a 5 design, the whole presentation seemed very boring. and the 
phone costs $200 more in india when compared to the US. the price difference 
between the iPhone SE and iPhone 6S (from amazon and other online retailers) is 
around Rs1,000 (around $20). Very disappointing.

presenting with keynote

[Venkatesh Potluri]

Hello all.
I am just getting started with keynote. I have a few questions about
presenting with keynote.
Is there any way to read the contents of a slide when the slideshow is
playing? Using the aero keys is not yielding any result.
if not, What do you think is the best way to read the slide content in
case I have to recall what’s next on the slide?
Will there be a difference in the level of accessibility if I add
animations or transitioning effects in the presentation?
Any other useful tips with keynote would be appreciated.
Thank you

Re: probleming reading apple developer documentation

[Venkatesh Potluri]

Hi
I am getting back to this after a good few months. I ran into another
problem. How do I specify a delegate object for the text field?
according to the guide, one is instructed to control-drag from the
text field to the yellow sphere in the scene doc and select delegate
in the outlets section. I am unable to do this with VO, I tried
following similar techniques suggested in the previous mails in this
thread. Now that I have my winter break, I have decided to get through
the learning process at a good pace :)
 Thanks in advance.

typesetting LaTeX equations in pages

I am writing a document and I have to insert a few mathematic

this? what am I doing wrong here?

Re: xcode mavericks and busy

[Venkatesh Potluri]

hi.
I am  adding up to Nick's problem. Xcode quits when I try to expand
elements in the document outline view of a storyboard file in
interface builder. The same happens when I try to go to the inspector
section for some UI objects, A TableViewController in my case.
Any suggestions and workarounds would be of great help.
Cheers
Venkatesh

Swift playground question

[Venkatesh Potluri]

Hi,
I am running the GM build of Xcode.
How can I get voiceOver to read the output after writing a line of code?
I entered the following lines into the playground
var x=4
x=x+4
I also tried opening the assistant editor.
Thank you.

Urgent: reading PDF documents using preview in Os X 10.10

[Venkatesh Potluri]

Hi list,
I just updated to Os X 10.10 a few hours ago.
When I open a PDF in preview, VO says PDF Content group. When I
interact with the group, VO says pdf static text and thats all!
How do I get VO to read the content of the PDF file?
This is a very important and urgent task for me as I have a test to
give and all the preparation material is in PDF.
Thanks,
Venkatesh Potluri

[Venkatesh Potluri]

Hi all,
thanks for the help!
Yes, it is a PDF document i have been able to read previously. There
seems to be a bug in yosemite.
I quit the PDF, turned off VO, opened the PDF and turned VO back on.
When I interact with the PDF content, vo reads the PDF properly.
Once again, thanks for the immediate help.

iOs 8.1 performance on iPhone 4S

[Venkatesh Potluri]

Hi list,
I am using a 16GB iPhone 4S. I updated to iOs 8 and had a lot of
issues so had to downgrade back to 7.1. My phone got a lot slower,
apps like whatsapp and messenger kept constantly crashing and VO
randomly restarts it self. i had many accidental touches, accidental
calls, etc. I wish to know if these issues have been resolved in 8.1.
Another major reason for me wanting to upgrade is the Flecksy
keyboard. How good is it? I read that there are still problems using
it. are there any show stopper bugs? Is the Looktel money reader
working fine in 8.1?
Thank you.
Cheers,
Venkatesh Potluri

probleming reading apple developer documentation

[Venkatesh Potluri]

Hello all.
I am getting started with iOs app development. I am unable to access
all the text in this link.
https://developer.apple.com/library/ios/referencelibrary/GettingStarted/RoadMapiOS/chapters/RM_YourFirstApp_iOS/Articles/05_ConfiguringView.html
voiceover says " bullet image" at some places. when you move the mouse
curser using command-VO-F5, and do a mouse click, the text related to
the specific task is displayed. however, I am able to access just the
first occurrence or a " bullet image" in a page. I end up opening the
apple menu when I attempt to access the second occurrence of the
"bullet image".
Thanks in advance.
Cheers

Re: probleming reading apple developer documentation

[Venkatesh Potluri]

Hi!
thanks for the pdf link :)
The only problem is that the PDF was last updated on february 2012,
where as the website was last updated on april 2013. most of the
documentation seems to be the same, but, some info on making apps
accessible seems to be missing at a quick glance. The PDF will also
not have information about iOs6. are things significantly different in
the initial stage of app development?
the zoom in-zoom out does not seem to work for me. could you give more
info on how to do the window-resize technique?
Thank you
Cheers

Re: probleming reading apple developer documentation

[Venkatesh Potluri]

Hi.
Thanks for the info :)
I started reading the tutorial andnow I am facing another problem.
I am unable to add an action to the button. the tutorial says that I
have to control-drag the button from the interface builder to the
method declaration section in the viewControler's header file in the
assistant  editor. I tried to select the button in the table that
shows the hierarchy of elements in a view, go to the connections
inspector, go to the "unknown" next to action, move the mouse pointer
there, do a mouse down, go to the assistant editor and release the
mouse at the relevant place. This method works when trying to add a
referencing outlet but does not seem to work in this case.
Kindly suggest.
Cheers

Fleksy keyboard help

[Venkatesh Potluri]

Hi all,
I have finally updated to iOS 8.1.1 on my iPhone 4S and the experience
has been good. I am now using the Fleksy keyboard and have a few
questions.
When I use Fleksy with Voiceover turned on, VO does not interfere with
flecks. That is, it does not read aloud the keys i tap on the
keyboard. This has been a very nice experience. At times how ever, it
speaks the letters I tap on the keyboard and does not speak the
corrected word Fleksy enters when I swipe right.  VO says "bottom of
document" when I swipe down to listen to and choose a different word
from the suggestions. How do I prevent this?
How do I add new words to Fleksy with VO enabled?
Hope I made my self clear.
Thanks in advance.
Cheers,
Venkatesh Potluri

Hi all.
I need some help using auto correct in lion. if I type an incorrect
spelling, lion automatically corrects it. this feature is great, but
what do I do to get the actual word i typed instead of the correct
one? I would like to know what keystroke to press or what gesture to
use to listen to different suggestions in case of situations where
there are multiple suggestions?
Any additional tips in this regard would be very helpful. :)

Re: i pod touch question

[Venkatesh Potluri]

Hi rachel.
Does it prompt that you have not transfered purchased items from your IPod?
I suggest you to try the following.
1. connect your device and open ITunes if it does not open automatically.
2. if you usually sync it, please do so.
3. before updating the software, go to the file menu, and select the option 
that says transfer purchases from your IPod. the name of your IPod will be 
spoken instead of "your IPod."
4. you might be prompted to enter your apple ID and password on your computer. 
Please do so.
wait for a while, and you are good to go!
note:
you will be able to know the status of the transfer and the software update in 
the LCD section of iTunes, the area where you usually check the sync status, 
the details of the current song playing, etc.
Hope this helps.
Happy updating! :)
cheers

Facebook accessibility using safari on mac os10 lion

[Venkatesh Potluri]

Hello listers!
I accessed Facebook using safari on my mac. I was wondering if the
Facebook home page and other page layouts have changed. I was not able
to view my notifications, new requests, messages, post status updates,
write on friends walls, etc.
How well accessible is the Facebook chat? I would also like to know
how to go offline and online for chat. Is Facebook not accessible or
am I not navigating properly?
Please share your opinion regarding this.
Any additional tips for using Facebook will be of great help.
Thank you.
Cheers

Re: Facebook accessibility using safari on mac os10 lion

[Venkatesh Potluri]

Hi
the mobile Facebook website is quite accessible.
In the standard Facebook website, the notifications, requests and
messages are read as clickable numbers. when i click them and hit the
right arrow, VO says there is a dimmed button and no notifications are
read. any idea on how to go about with this issue?
Thanks a lot for the help :)
Cheers
Venkatesh

Re: installing win7 bootcamp from flash drive?

[Venkatesh Potluri]

Hi.
Are you using lion?
I recently read a support article about installing win 7 via USB drive  along 
side lion through bootcamp.
>From what I remember, u will find an option to do this in the second screen of 
>the bootcamp assistant  where it will ask you to download the support software.
You will require a bootable iso of win 7. 
Hope I'm correct and this helps. 
Cheers
Venkatesh .

bluetooth keyboard with iPhone and macbook pro

[Venkatesh Potluri]

Hi listers.
I use an iPhone 3Gs running iOs5 and a macbook pro 15 inch. I text
quite a lot from my iPhone and texting using a touch screen for long
duration is strenuous and time consuming. I am planning on purchasing
a bluetooth keyboard that works both with my mac and my phone. my
questions:
is there any other 3rd party keyboard that allows me to do both these
tasks? I find the apple bluetooth keyboard quite expensive.
if there isn't any other alternative, how is the apple bluetooth
keyboard in terms of use with the iPhone and battery life?
Your opinion will help me a great deal.
Thank you.
Cheers

Re: bluetooth keyboard with iPhone and macbook pro

[Venkatesh Potluri]

ok. so if I use a 3rd party keyboard with the iPhone, will the key
mapping be the same as how it is with other windows keyboards?
I was also wondering, is there a way to send messages from my iPhone
using my mac other than using the mac's bluetooth?
Tnaks.

Re: bluetooth keyboard with iPhone and macbook pro

[Venkatesh Potluri]

Thank you all for your responses and suggestions. 
The iogear multilink Bluetooth keyboard suggested by ioana sounds like a good 
buy. Is there any dedicated key to switch between divices? It will be helpful 
if you can explained the working of the feature a bit more.
Thank you.

aspiring apple developer -- help!

[Venkatesh Potluri]

Hi listers,
I am doing my Undergrad in Computer science. I have been using VO on
the mac since 2 years and VO on the iOS since 1 Year. I wish to
develop apps for the iOS. I would like your suggestions on a few
questions  regarding app development.
1. where do I start?
I visited the iOS dev center and found a huge volume of resources.
many books, and videos. but I am not sure about where to start and how
to proceed with learning the  required platforms  for development.
2. is the entire development process accessible?
what concerns me related to accessibility is the UI design for the
application and the mapping of the functions to various interactive
elements on screen.(interface builder)  From a video I saw, I
understood that one will have to drag various elements to a particular
area and map each element to a controller function. is my perception
wrong? of it is not, is there a workaround for this particular phase
of development that makes this process accessible with VO?
3. How do I test?
I learned that xCode provides a facility to test apps by running them
on an emulator and provides various statistics about resource usage.
is this accessible with VO?
4. when do I become a member of a developer program?
I wanted your say about the appropriate time to become a member of the
apple developer program.
 Is it better if I pay for It now or go ahead with it after I am
familiar with developing for the iOS platform.
I apologize if this mail was too long and I thank you for reading
through the entire mail :)
Any answers will be of great help.

Thank you.
Cheers
