Finding Unseen Items in Status Menu
Haven't been out here in a while, so please forgive me if this has already been covered. I went back through some archives, but saw no mention of this issue. I am currently using the latest version of Lion, and I have all updates installed. Is there a way to find the unseen icons in the status menu? I was able to do this in Snow Leopard, but can't seem to get it to work in Lion. It isn't very often that I need this feature, so it hasn't been an issue up until now. Like I said, I had no problems finding these icons in Snow Leopard. I'm trying the exact same procedure that I used to use in Snow Leopard, but I'm having no luck. Is there no way to do this in Lion currently? Any help would be most appreciated. -- Earle Msn: peterson...@sympatico.ca Skype, Twitter, Facebook, and Yahoo: rowdyamerican Aim: rowdyamerican28 --- Mac Access At Mac Access Dot Net --- To reply to this post, please address your message to mac-access@mac-access.net You can find an archive of all messages postedto the Mac-Access forum at either the list's own dedicated web archive: http://mail.tft-bbs.co.uk/pipermail/mac-access/index.html or at the public Mail Archive: http://www.mail-archive.com/mac-access@mac-access.net/.

Re: Keynote 5.1.1 Accessibility question [Was: Re: Top Ten list of tools and techniques I used to successfully complete my first college semester as a blind student]
Hi Bryan, To be honest I've noticed no discernible difference(s). however, I simply opened a powerpoint presentation, went into slideshow mode and then discovered that it was still lousy.

I'm interested in your comments regarding the accessibility limitations in Keynote.

Re: copying large chunk of text from safari.
Hi Dónal, You can speed this up even more if, after making sure that the New TextEdit Window Containing Selection option is checked under the Services menu option, you also assign this a keyboard shortcut. Then you only need to use Command-A to select all and apply your shortcut. You can find the instructions to set this up in the archived post I wrote for our list: • Re: Selecting a block of text from a website on Lion http://www.mail-archive.com/mac-access@mac-access.net/msg00659.html I'm using the shortcut Command-Option-Shift-W for this, and this works to send your selected text to TextEdit from any application. An added bonus is that it can also be used to read some web sites that are not accessible with VoiceOver due to bad HTML coding, since using the Services menu option strips out the non-text elements, as a simple copy and paste does not. For similar reasons, you can use this to read embedded tables and lists in documents in Pages, Nisus Writer Pro, etc. by selecting the page and applying the shortcut, since it transforms the embedded material to text, and lets VoiceOver read out the table directly. HTH. Cheers, Esther On Dec 19, 2011, at 06:36, Dónal Fitzpatrick wrote: Ahh Paul, the best solution is usualy the simplest! thanks very much indeed for this.

Re: copying large chunk of text from safari.
Hi Shannon and Others, I've been using this Services menu option to send selections to TextEdit since Tiger -- which is the very first version of Mac OS X to support VoiceOver. The main practical difference in using this in versions starting with Snow Leopard is that you have to check a box under a table in the Keyboard Shortcuts pane of System Preferences to determine which items show up under the Services menu. In Tiger and Leopard, the option automatically appeared under the TextEdit submenu of Services as New window containing selection. As Colin stated, my earlier post gives a link to step-by-step instructions to enable this Services menu option, and additionally assign a keyboard shortcut. HTH.

Re: copying large chunk of text from safari.
I'll have to try that. I added the shortcut but sometimes selecting with vo enter fails even after interaction with the area. Thanks for the tip though. On Dec 19, 2011, at 9:52 AM, Esther wrote: Hi Dónal, You can speed this up even more if, after making sure that the New TextEdit Window Containing Selection option is checked under the Services menu option, you also assign this a keyboard shortcut. Then you only need to use Command-A to select all and apply your shortcut. You can find the instructions to set this up in the archived post I wrote for our list: • Re: Selecting a block of text from a website on Lion http://www.mail-archive.com/mac-access@mac-access.net/msg00659.html I'm using the shortcut Command-Option-Shift-W for this, and this works to send your selected text to TextEdit from any application. An added bonus is that it can also be used to read some web sites that are not accessible with VoiceOver due to bad HTML coding, since using the Services menu option strips out the non-text elements, as a simple copy and paste does not. For similar reasons, you can use this to read embedded tables and lists in documents in Pages, Nisus Writer Pro, etc. by selecting the page and applying the shortcut, since it transforms the embedded material to text, and lets VoiceOver read out the table directly.

Instructions for clearing App switcher [was Re: Removing applications from App switcher in IPhone]
Hi Paula and Others, At the risk of adding to an already long thread, I thought I'd post instructions on how I remove apps from the App switcher window. 1. If you are currently in an app, click the Home button to return to the home screen 2. Double click the Home button, and you should hear VoiceOver say, App Switcher, then announce the name of your most recently used app, followed by double tap to open. 3. Perform the double tap and hold pass through gesture in the center of your iPhone screen. You should hear the burbly sound that indicates a successful execution of the pass through gesture, then VoiceOver should say, editing apps. Focus will be on the app in the bottom left corner of the screen. You don't have to locate this app before you do the pass through gesture, because it already had focus when you opened the App Switcher. So you don't need to worry about performing the double tap and hold gesture in any particular location on the screen -- I do this in the center of the screen. 4. Keep double tapping in the center of the screen to delete apps. As you delete apps, focus will stay on the bottom left corner of the screen, and the next app to be deleted will move into position here. (You don't actually have to wait for VoiceOver to announce each action's completed status as you double tap to delete.) 5. Eventually, VoiceOver will announce, App Switcher has no items. 6. Click the Home button to return to your home screen. You can also perform a variant of the above using a paired Bluetooth keyboard, but the double tap and hold pass through gesture must be performed on the screen, since there is no equivalent keyboard shortcut. The instructions would work as follows: 1. If you are currently in an app, press Control+Option+H to return to the home screen. On keyboards with a dedicated Home key (e.g. the iPad Keyboard Dock, and some third party keyboards, but not the Apple Wireless Keyboard) you can press that key to return to the home screen. 2. Press VO-H twice by holding down the Control+Option keys and tapping the h key twice to access the App Switcher. Again, on keyboards with a dedicated Home key, you can simply double click that key. 3. Perform the double tap and hold pass through gesture in the center of your iPhone screen. (This has to be done as a gesture, but you can do it anywhere in the center of your screen.) You should hear the burbly sound that indicates a successful execution of the pass through gesture, then VoiceOver should say, editing apps. Focus will be on the most recently used app, in the bottom left corner of the screen. 4. Use your keyboard to remove all the apps in the App Switcher window. I do this with VO+space bar, since I can hold down the Control+Option keys and just keep tapping the space bar until all the apps in the App Switcher window are removed and you hear VoiceOver say, App Switcher has no items. If you have a Keyboard without a Control or Option key, you can turn QuickNav on (by simultaneously pressing the right and left arrow keys), and then press the up+down arrow keys instead of using VO+space bar to delete apps. 5. Eventually, VoiceOver will announce, App Switcher has no items. 6. Press VO+H, or press the dedicated home key if your keyboard has one, to return to the home screen. I'll just add that the App Switcher window is really a list of your recently used apps, but doesn't tell you which apps are actively running. In the multi-tasking environment, as your iOS device requires more resources it starts dropping your previously used apps from its active list. If you happen to remove an app from your App Switcher window which is actively running, you'll stop it from running. Since VoiceOver requires more resources when it is running than the default iOS system without VoiceOver, users often want to release resources from currently running apps manually, hence the practice of clearing off apps from the App Switcher window. This is overkill in the sense that you're removing all your recently used apps in order to guarantee that the few that are still using resources are stopped. Another way to do this, without deleting apps from the App Switcher window, is to use an app that frees memory, like XSysInfo or System Activity Monitor. There are probab ly more updated versions of these apps that can be used to free memory. I usually use Activity Monitor Touch to check which apps are currently running. Another thing that may not be obvious: even when an app is not running, it still may locally store data in memory that gets used when you next launch the app. So even if you remove Safari from the App Switcher window, if you don't close additional tabs, or go to Settings Safari and use the options to Clear Cache and Clear History, that stored memory usage will still impact your resources. HTH. Cheers, Esther --- Mac Access At Mac Access Dot Net --- To reply to this post, please

RE: copying large chunk of text from safari.
Interacting did not work for me either, but It did work for me in safari at least after pressing VO spacebar on the shortcut field and then pressing the desired shortcut combination. -Original Message- From: mac-access-boun...@mac-access.net [mailto:mac-access-boun...@mac-access.net] On Behalf Of Sarah Alawami Sent: 19 December 2011 23:24 To: Mac OSX iOS Accessibility Subject: Re: copying large chunk of text from safari. I'll have to try that. I added the shortcut but sometimes selecting with vo enter fails even after interaction with the area. Thanks for the tip though.

Then you only need to use Command-A to select all and apply your shortcut. You can find the instructions to set this up in the archived post I wrote for our list: Re: Selecting a block of text from a website on Lion http://www.mail-archive.com/mac-access@mac-access.net/msg00659.html I'm using the shortcut Command-Option-Shift-W for this, and this works to send your selected text to TextEdit from any application. An added bonus is that it can also be used to read some web sites that are not accessible with VoiceOver due to bad HTML coding, since using the Services menu option strips out the non-text elements, as a simple copy and paste does not. For similar reasons, you can use this to read embedded tables and lists in documents in Pages, Nisus Writer Pro, etc. by selecting the page and applying the shortcut, since it transforms the embedded material to text, and lets VoiceOver read out the table directly.

I know ABBY Fine Reader is out there, but I don't want to actually scan books, just turn pdf images into text. ABBY can work from an opened PDF file.

Re: Instructions for clearing App switcher [was Re: Removing applications from App switcher in IPhone]
Thanks for that Esther, I will give this a go. Take care Paula On 20/12/2011, at 11:59 AM, Esther wrote: Hi Paula and Others, At the risk of adding to an already long thread, I thought I'd post instructions on how I remove apps from the App switcher window. 1. If you are currently in an app, click the Home button to return to the home screen 2. Double click the Home button, and you should hear VoiceOver say, App Switcher, then announce the name of your most recently used app, followed by double tap to open. 3. Perform the double tap and hold pass through gesture in the center of your iPhone screen. You should hear the burbly sound that indicates a successful execution of the pass through gesture, then VoiceOver should say, editing apps. Focus will be on the app in the bottom left corner of the screen. You don't have to locate this app before you do the pass through gesture, because it already had focus when you opened the App Switcher. So you don't need to worry about performing the double tap and hold gesture in any particular location on the screen -- I do this in the center of the screen. 4. Keep double tapping in the center of the screen to delete apps. As you delete apps, focus will stay on the bottom left corner of the screen, and the next app to be deleted will move into position here. (You don't actually have to wait for VoiceOver to announce each action's completed status as you double tap to delete.) 5. Eventually, VoiceOver will announce, App Switcher has no items. 6. Click the Home button to return to your home screen. You can also perform a variant of the above using a paired Bluetooth keyboard, but the double tap and hold pass through gesture must be performed on the screen, since there is no equivalent keyboard shortcut. The instructions would work as follows: 1. If you are currently in an app, press Control+Option+H to return to the home screen. On keyboards with a dedicated Home key (e.g. the iPad Keyboard Dock, and some third party keyboards, but not the Apple Wireless Keyboard) you can press that key to return to the home screen. 2. Press VO-H twice by holding down the Control+Option keys and tapping the h key twice to access the App Switcher. Again, on keyboards with a dedicated Home key, you can simply double click that key. 3. Perform the double tap and hold pass through gesture in the center of your iPhone screen. (This has to be done as a gesture, but you can do it anywhere in the center of your screen.) You should hear the burbly sound that indicates a successful execution of the pass through gesture, then VoiceOver should say, editing apps. Focus will be on the most recently used app, in the bottom left corner of the screen. 4. Use your keyboard to remove all the apps in the App Switcher window. I do this with VO+space bar, since I can hold down the Control+Option keys and just keep tapping the space bar until all the apps in the App Switcher window are removed and you hear VoiceOver say, App Switcher has no items. If you have a Keyboard without a Control or Option key, you can turn QuickNav on (by simultaneously pressing the right and left arrow keys), and then press the up+down arrow keys instead of using VO+space bar to delete apps. 5. Eventually, VoiceOver will announce, App Switcher has no items. 6. Press VO+H, or press the dedicated home key if your keyboard has one, to return to the home screen. I'll just add that the App Switcher window is really a list of your recently used apps, but doesn't tell you which apps are actively running. In the multi-tasking environment, as your iOS device requires more resources it starts dropping your previously used apps from its active list. If you happen to remove an app from your App Switcher window which is actively running, you'll stop it from running. Since VoiceOver requires more resources when it is running than the default iOS system without VoiceOver, users often want to release resources from currently running apps manually, hence the practice of clearing off apps from the App Switcher window. This is overkill in the sense that you're removing all your recently used apps in order to guarantee that the few that are still using resources are stopped. Another way to do this, without deleting apps from the App Switcher window, is to use an app that frees memory, like XSysInfo or System Activity Monitor. There are prob ab ly more updated versions of these apps that can be used to free memory. I usually use Activity Monitor Touch to check which apps are currently running. Another thing that may not be obvious: even when an app is not running, it still may locally store data in memory that gets used when you next launch the app. So even if you remove Safari from the App Switcher window, if you don't close additional tabs, or go to Settings Safari and use the options to Clear
Navigon 2.01 is out.
Greetings y'all, Navigon NorthAmerica 2.01 was released on Monday, and I would presume there are applicable updates for other world wide offerings. VoiceOver was specifically mentioned in their documentation of recent changes, so hopefully the sluggishness will abate for those who are not using the dual-core A5 chip. I can report that it is now possible to return to the main menu even when following a route. Since my experience using Navigon version 2.0 with voiceOver on a 4S was dramatically better than what others using older hardware reported, I hesitate to say: come on in, the water's fine. I can definitively assert, however that 2.01 is, if anything more voiceOver accessible than the last version 1 release (1.73 if memory serves). Happy downloading!
