For me, when I type in any text field, assuming keyboard echo is set to character in voiceover, the characters are not spoken, and it happens on all of my macs. Original message: Now it’s interesting you should mention about the text not being spoken. Whenever I enter my user name in to the use

Re: I Mac Pro.

Hi Kawal, I am also thinking of getting the iMac Pro.. although my current 27 inch iMac, end of 2015 fully loaded and costed me 4000 euro, isn’t ready for replacement yet. The price is also very high and probably overkill for my needs. Before this iMac I had a Mac Pro, so I’m probably gonna wait

The chromevox key on a mac is control+command I think. Original message: So Tim, I looked at the video on Cromevox. What I ain’t understandin’ is this here. What key on the Mac keyboard works as the “search” key? I reckon that what they call the alt key is equivalent to the Mac’s option key but

I really do need to work for you, you’re talking tens of thousands to do that most likely. A maxed unit has 128 GB of ram, 16 GB of video memory, 18 cores, 4 TB of storage and so forth. That will be one hell of a machine. > On Jun 22, 2017, at 4:58 PM, Kawal Gucukoglu wrote: > > And Scott

Re: Safari Busy

Ray, The video you were watching probably was focusing on the use of ChromeVox on a ChromeBook. ChromeBooks are a totally different entity both from Mac and Windows. To finally get to your question though, using ChromeVox on the Mac uses the ctrl and cmd keys much in the same way as you use t

Re: Safari Busy

Hi Tim, Very cool. Would you happen to have a good link to get Chrome for my mac mini? I ask because I need a safe link because I am going to install it on my Work box and don't want to be guessing did I find the correct download link. Thanks again for all your diligent hard work. :) Chuck On Ju

Hi, Yes, you, as a blind person, can easily choose between which partition you'd like to start from. It's in System Preference, under the Startup Disk pane. Totally accessible. Really, there's not much you need to do in order to accomplish this. Create your partition on the drive, make sure

Hi, So, is it that when you send a message, you not only retain a copy in the Sent folder, and in the Archive mailbox, but a message also comes back to you within your InBox? If this is the case, then check in your Mail Preferences, under the Composing tab, and make sure that the checkbox for

Hi Michael, That's a really good question, Something I've never tried in this case but I can't see why it wouldn't be possible. It's a case of going into disk utilities and creating another partition to install the beta os to and then during the installation it would ask if you wish to migra
