Unfortunately, the premium quality nuance voices don't allow pitch to be
adjusted. I really wish they did. The compact
versions allow for pitch adjustment, but the quality is horrible, at least
in my opinion.

You do have to choose Customize. One thing that frustrates me about Lee is
that unlike Alex, I cannot change pitch or
intonation for some reason: just rate and volume. Anyone know why this
is?

Hi
Yes there's Karen and Lee, and they are free.
Go into VO utility and choose the "voice" row of the table there. Look
around in there. YOu may need to choose "customise"
to find all the possible options. Karen premium is what I use. You need to
download her but she is worth the megabytes. No
charge though.

dumb mail question
Bill Holton <[email protected]> Aug 23 03:52PM -0400
Hi.
What is the best voiceover command to use that will get mail to
consistently open a web URL insight email?
Ricardo Walker <[email protected]> Aug 23 06:10PM -0400
Hi,
I would navigate by character to the url itself then press VO space. If
that fails you, do the same but instead of
pressing VO space, press VO shift M to bring up the context menu and
select to open link or something like that.

<[email protected]> Aug 23 04:15PM -0400
Well, they finally did it!
Now, when downloading the BootCamp Windows Support software, they
finally give you a progress report.
Not a big thing, but, it's a tiny improvement.
Now to try VMWare Fusion 5 and see what it can do.
Ray Foret Jr <[email protected]> Aug 23 03:18PM -0500
So, does this make it possible for a blind person to install windows
using bootcamp independantly; or, need we wait for
yet more work to be done?

You know, that doesn't sound like that half bad of an idea. I too
have vm ware 5, but have been really hesitant to install it and set
a vm of Windows
7 up on it as I was a little scared from the horror stories I
heard... but then again, I guess that was from Boot Camp, not from
Fusion, huh.
Anyways...
Chris.

I would doubt it. Installing windows really has nothing to do with the
bootcamp set up at that point. It would be up to
MS to make the installation of windows accessible.
Of course, as a parson who uses bootcamp, I hope I'm wrong. lol.

You're right. It'd be up to Microsoft to make windows installs
accessible, since that progress bar is only for installing the mac side
of bootcamp.
Unfortunately, Windows 8 will be the only version of windows for the
first time ever that's accessible during install.

Speaking rate in Voiceover
"Christopher-Mark gilland" <[email protected]> Aug 23 04:08PM
-0400
OK, I know about using vo+command+left and right arrow then when on
rate, I can move it up or down with vo+command+up and down arrows,
but here's the thing...
It's moving in 5% increments. I kind of remember a while back, it's
been quite a while, but I vaguely remember someone saying that there
was a little trick to actually adjust that in finer notches, where I
literally could move it just a percentage at a time.
Can someone refresh my noggin on how to do that? LOL!
Chris.
Esther <[email protected]> Aug 23 10:38AM -1000
Hi Chris,
It used to be that holding down the shift key as well would act as a
modifier to slow down the adjustment rate of various
items such as volume, rate, etc. This was a general Mac feature, not just
for adjustments in the VO controls. I'm not sure
this works now with the plethora of shortcut key controls and QuickNav,
but somebody else may be able to tell you how to do
this. It could just be that my current setup conflicts with being able to
do this, or maybe you can still do this on a full
size keyboard? It was certainly a feature in older versions of the Mac OS
X operating system. One of the gruesome details of
inadvertently pressing the Exposé key shortcuts back instead of the F key
combination you really wanted in Leopard was, that
not only could you not tell what was going on (e.g. visual windows moving
for selection -- analogous to using Window chooser
menu but turning your screen into a kind of icon view of windows) -- but
if you happened to hold down the Shift key as well,
this would all happen in slow motion, and it would take even longer to
recover response.
HTH. Cheers,
Esther

ok, but if I hit say a slider on the screen, and interact with it,
if I then wanna move it up in small movements, you're saying hold
the shift key down while doing it? Wouldn't that not work? Think
about that... to move the slider, you'd use vo+up and down arrow
after interacting. Well, if I wanna move it up a little bit, then vo+up
arrow, with the shift key... so...
vo+shift+...oops? I just stopped interacting with the slider. Bummer!
What 'em I missing?

Hi,
sure, this still works. The thing is, instead of pressing VO shift
up/down, you press VO shift left/right when you are
interacting with the slider. I do this many times a day to set the BPM in
Garageband projects.

Best GPS app for iPhone
Harry Hogue <[email protected]> Aug 23 01:49PM -0600
Hi guys,
I've heard mention of a couple of different accessible GPS apps on this
list for the iPhone, and I wondered which one
people prefer to use and find most useful and why?
Thanks for any help. Oh, how much might such an app cost?
Thanks, guys.
Harry
Anne Robertson <[email protected]> Aug 23 10:46PM +0200
Hello Harry,
The best GPS app for iPhone is a very subjective matter. It very much
depends whether you mind having a 3G connection
while using it or not.
I like Navigon because its maps reside on the phone so it doesn't
download data. The version I have works all over Europe
as long as I remember to download the appropriate maps.
However, I also like Ariadne GPS as an add-on, because it keeps me
updated as to where I am, and alerts me to the
favourites I've put in. It does need an internet connection, however, so I
can't use it outside my home country without
incurring huge charges!
These two apps work together since Navigon happily runs in the
background.
Quite a number of people use these two apps together, but I'm sure
others will have different suggestions since there are
several GPS apps that only work in the US.
Cheers,
Anne
1password accessibility
Robert Carter <[email protected]> Aug 23 03:41PM -0500
Hi Paul,
I don't know for sure but am going to assume that you currently have
the weak password stored in 1password. Making that
assumption, here is how I would proceed.
1. Open 1password go to file menu, down arrow to "new item" and press
right arrow to expand it.
2. Down arrow to "new password" and press enter to open the dialogue.
3. Use VO right arrow and you will see that 1password has generated a
strong password in this dialogue.
4. VO right arrow past the password and use VO space on the copy button
to put the password on the clipboard.
5. Open TextEdit and paste the password in to a blank document. I do
this because 1password only keeps the generated
password on the clipboard for 90 seconds or whatever you have it set to.
6. Highlight the password that is now in text edit and copy it to the
clipboard. This way you don't have to worry about
it disappearing from the clipboard.
7. Open safari and go to the site where you want to change the
password. Get to the point on the site where you are being
asked for the new password and paste it in from the clipboard.
8. Go back to 1password, to your logins and locate the login
information for the site that you just changed the password
for.
9. Interact with the scroll area in 1password and use VO right arrow to
navigate to the password field. Assuming that you
have show passwords checked in the view menu, you will see your old
password for the site. Press command e to allow you to
edit this entry. Delete it and paste in the new password that is still on
the clipboard.
10. Press command e again to tell 1password that you are finished
editing.
You now have the password changed on the site and also updated in
1password. You can trash the text edit document and all
is now right with the world.

Check key echo under vo utility, verbosity, keyboard (I think).
Also, as basic as it sounds, did you try a restart? I know the mac
reboots for the install, but sometimes an additional reboot after
the newly installed OS is up and running can help.

Just like anywhere, it's cmd-right. I think of cmd as the top/bottom
key, since:
cmd-left moves to the start of a line cmd-right moves to the end of
a line cmd-up moves to the top of the text cmd-down moves to the
bottom of the text
The option key is used with left/right to move by words. I have no
idea if control does anything, or if option with up/down does
anything... I should try that.
