Sometimes you can add some functionality to an application. For example if you come across a button which says "button" and does not read out what the button actually does, then you can manually label that button.
First of all whilst on the button press control + option + shift + h to see if the button has a alternative help tag, if so then great we are in business and if not then ask someone sighted to assist you. Whilst still at the non labelled button press control + option + / (slash). you will now be prompted to enter a label for the button. Enter a label and hit return. Now the next time your VoiceOver cursor moves over that button it will be fully labelled and visible to you. You can also label images the same way. Failing that, email the developers of the product and explain the issues you are having with the product and how they could improve the product to enable you to operate it. usually you can find how to contact a developer by going to the About menu item within the product or sometimes it is in the help menu. Failing that use google to find the developers website, or www.versiontracker.com regards Chris On 7 Jul 2010, at 01:02, Cody Hurst wrote: > unlike jaws, voiceover is not controlled by scripts, this shouldn't be > confused with apple scripts which are not the same thing. simply put, if the > app is not accessible, the only thing to do is write the developers and tell > them to make it accessible. > > On Jul 6, 2010, at 7:41 PM, joseph wrote: > >> hi listers, >> >> how can i make applications accessible with voiceover? >> >> regards >> >> -- >> You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups >> "MacVisionaries" group. >> To post to this group, send email to [email protected]. >> To unsubscribe from this group, send email to >> [email protected]. >> For more options, visit this group at >> http://groups.google.com/group/macvisionaries?hl=en. >> > > -- > You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups > "MacVisionaries" group. > To post to this group, send email to [email protected]. > To unsubscribe from this group, send email to > [email protected]. > For more options, visit this group at > http://groups.google.com/group/macvisionaries?hl=en. > -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "MacVisionaries" group.
