Dear BusyCal Support Team, I downloaded the trial of BusyCal for Mac. I absolutely love the features in BusyCal, which are so sadly missing in the native OS X Calendar.
However, unfortunately I haven't been able to use BusyCal properly. I use VoiceOver—Apple's built-in screen reader for OS X—to access my Mac. Voiceover is a utility for people who are blind or have low vision. It reads out information on the screen and allows users to control the Mac with the keyboard. All the controls, preferences etcetera of BusyCal are accessible with VoiceOver, but sadly the actual calendar part of the application—presumably listing the days of the month and events etcetera—appears completely inaccessible with VoiceOver. From a VoiceOver user's perspective, the calendar part of the app is invisible. It would be fantastic if you could make your app accessible with VoiceOver. Thankfully, Apple makes this much easier than one might expect, given the support for VoiceOver it builds into the Mac. Apple provides an introduction for developers on accessibility in OS X, including VoiceOver, at the following link: https://developer.apple.com/library/mac/documentation/Accessibility/Conceptual/AccessibilityMacOSX/OSXAXIntro/OSXAXintro.html Apple provides a general overview of VoiceOver for consumers here: http://www.apple.com/accessibility/osx/voiceover/ Additional information for developing apps that are accessible to VoiceOver users can be found on the AppleVis website at: http://www.applevis.com/information-app-developers I would gladly welcome any news from BusyMac if/when you improve its accessibility so I can spread the word among the community of VoiceOver users. Additionally, if there are any settings, configurations or the like which you believe might assist VoiceOver users in accessing BusyCal please let me know. Many thanks for your time and consideration. Kind regards, Nic -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "MacVisionaries" group.
