If it's mandatory for some apps to be accessible, but not others, who will
determine which are to be accessible and which not? And if you talk about
feasibility, doesn't that start to become a little like inaccessible apps don't

I guess my ease of use is because of the way I have Voiceover/my Mac set up.

Why not have Apple hire an accessibility team which would consist of all the

accessibility: thus, no ambiguity. After all, who knows better than we how to

Hello,
I was listening to the garage band tutorials. My question is once I am
finished listening to a segment how do I return to safari from the player?
There is a back button in the toolbar, but accessing it takes many VO
keystrokes. Any shortcuts?

command left bracket, command left arrow, or the delete key should all do this

Thank you.
Has anyone figured out how to remove a widget from the Dashboard? I started

a voiceover user to remove a widget they no longer wanted that was in their
Dashboard I gave up on Dashboard. Would love to hear if anyone f
Hi,
if you want to close a widget, press VO command escape. If you want to delete

Yeah, I like the theory. I would just want to have more technical

I can think of some good uses for it. In no way would I expect it to

The usual problem with accessibility seem to fall in two buckets. First
is the developer uses standard controls which are accessible but forget
to label a button or leave out other tidbits of state/value information
which would make the control usable. The second bucket is that they made

Good luck getting an avi file to play whatsoever, unless unless you have a
3rd-party app like vlc, unless someone knows something I don't. I ended up
having to get it when I downloaded a boatload of files that I found out were in
avi format, and quicktime wouldn't play them, then did a google s
Also, if you really want an app that lists all the accessible apps, or at least
most of them, a friend recommended the "via," app that Braille institute

Has anyone on this list done so? If so, I will greatly appreciate it
Yes, you need to download the Learning Ally Audio book manager to do this.
When you run it, it syncs with the LA website and your bookshelf and gives you
the option of downloading anything on your bookshelf.
You will also need the Learning Ally read here app to play the books on your
mac. B
Yeah, I might go that route too. I figured that method would work easily. Just

This was interesting reading indeed. I also found a link in one of the reader
comments where OS X FUSE is an open source solution and is being actively
developed even up to and including Mavericks. It replaces the old Mac FUSE
package which hasn't been worked since 2009 apparently.
