It is possible to set both description and name using AppleScript. Not sure if that would be any help though I could also get the file path of the photograph from AppleScript, so perhaps we could figure out how to sent the photo to Microsoft's AI engine and then read back the description. I ha

Oh, weird. That is very helpful, Grant. Thank you. I was meaning to look in Photos on my phone but haven't had a chance yet. Thanks for the tip. Cheers, Donna > On May 25, 2016, at 7:53 PM, Grant wrote: > > Hey Donna, > > I have discovered that the "title" and "description" fields are not tr

Hey Donna, I have discovered that the "title" and "description" fields are not treated consistently by VoiceOver across the Mac and iOS. In OS X, VoiceOver will announce the description field as you navigate from photo to photo, ignoring the name field. On the other hand, in iOS, the name field

Oh no, sorry. I don’t use these often but have you tried tagging the photo file? I believe that’s under the same menu. My tagged photos and folders end up in the side bar after devices. Jenine Stanley dragonwalke...@gmail.com > On May 25, 2016, at 2:53 PM, Donna Goodin wrote: > > Hi Jeanine

Hi, the photos themselves are packaged within the Photos Library, but I strongly suggest that you do not change the file name as it can corrupt your Photos Library database. What you are actually doing is changing the Description or title of the photo which is done in the Info window for each

Hi Jeanine, I thought there was a way to do it within photos. when I first tried this, I just ended up renaming the VO label, so that is what I want to avoid. I just took a quick look to see if I could locate the file outside of photos, and didn't have success. Cheers, Donna > On May 25, 2016

Donna, Do you want to rename the file containing the photo or video, or do some other type of renaming? To rename any file, once you’ve figured out what it is of course, find the file and go into the context menu with VO-=shift-m. Rename should be on the list of possible actions. This is h
