Refreshable Braille devices?

2017-07-23 Thread Sarah Amelia Sackville McLauchlan
Hi all! So am looking for some advice/guidance before I go out and start applying for assistive tech grant money. I used to use the BrailleNote, but mine died a long time ago. And even before it did, I was starting to run into compatibility issues between it, the program I used to transfer fi

Help from fellow academics out there? Desperate!

2015-11-01 Thread Sarah Amelia Sackville McLauchlan
Hi all! If any of you out there are also academics, do you know of any good citation-management software that works with Voice-Over? I’ve been trying Zotero, but it’s a complete nightmare! And I didn’t find Refworks all that accessible either (though that was with a different screen-reader be

Adding contacts to groups?

2015-03-27 Thread Sarah Amelia Sackville McLauchlan
Hi all! So, (I think) I’ve figured out how to create groups in my contacts on my Macbook pro. But (and I hope this isn’t too duh a question) how do I add people to the groups I’ve created? :-( It doesn’t seem to work like adding songs to a playlist in iTunes. Or, am I just missing something?

Question for fellow composers/arrangers out there.

2015-02-07 Thread Sarah Amelia Sackville McLauchlan
Hey all! A question for those others of you out there who write/arrange music, and who, therefore, find yourselves having to score stuff for sighted musicians to read. What software do you use? Is there anything out there that’s not horrendously expensive, relatively easy for those of us who

:-) Oh fabulous! I’m so glad we’re still on. That’s great! LOL Though, unless I find a stash of cash I didn’t know I had, I fear that, even if Mom’s feeling up to it, the Ikea trip’s going to have to be put off till the first of October or thereabouts. :-( Alas, I”m not as rich as I thought

Need a Tip for the new Garage-BAnd.

2014-08-27 Thread Sarah Amelia Sackville McLauchlan
Hi all! First of all, thanks hugely to the dude who gave me the tip a while back about using the comma nd period to do what the arrow-keys used to do even though VO doesn't speak it. That totally got me back up and going, and was a huge help! But now I'm kind of stuck again, and I'm hoping so

Why my contacts aren't synching properly?

2014-07-11 Thread Sarah Amelia Sackville McLauchlan
Hi all! Help again? For some reason, new contacts that I create on my Macbook Pro aren't being copied to my iPhone when I synch it, even though I have "synch all contacts" selected, and I can't figure out why not. Has anyone else run into this, and does anyone know how to fix it? I'm using t
