Unable to change voice settings
Dear all, I somehow am unable to change the qualities of the voiceover. Everything is read out really slow. VO-Cmd used with arrows doesn't work. although the percentages are changed, the voice still sounds the same. I tried to reinstall the voices, but I still keep having the same issues. So, please help!

Re: page wrap in pages
Hello Linda, Pages is not good for reading straight through a document. Sometimes it works but most often it doesn't. If this is a document created in Pages, then I'd just select all (Cmd-a), copy to clikpboard and paste into a TextEdit document which will read straight through just fine. I set a short cut for the Service New TextEdit Window Containing Selection. You can do this by going to System Preferences/Keyboard/Short cuts and selecting Services in the first table. You'll find this option under Text in the second table. It's a very useful command in many situations. Cheers, Anne On 30 Jul 2013, at 04:41, Linda C.

Re: to anne r.RE: page wrap in pages
Hello Linda, TextEdit is a simplified word processor which is very useful, but it isn't a professional tool. Pages, on the other hand, is much more sophisticated and can produce all kinds of professional documents. Everyone has different requirements. I couldn't work as a professional translator without Pages since MS Office isn't accessible. You can create templates in Pages which is a useful feature. It's handy to have a template for business letters, for instance. It can save a lot of time. However, until you're really comfortable with VoiceOver, Pages is likely to be more trouble than it's worth, and TextEdit is so easy to use. Cheers, Anne On 30 Jul 2013, at 16:33, Linda C.

Re: itunes sorting shortcuts
Hi Ian, VO-Shift-backslash works to sort any column of a table, whether you're in Finder or in iTunes. If you use it again, it will reverse the order of sort.

Re: itunes sorting shortcuts
sure. Vo shift cabk slash will do you fine, so hit that, then hit space on the button you want to sort by. It's a toggle so you will with one press sort down and the next press sort up. When you choose what you want to sort by hit vo shift back slash again to stop the process.

Re: opening an attachment in mail
Linda - When VO reads 'embeded', move the mouse pointer to that spot, by pressing and holding the VO keys, with Command and F5. Then, open the context menu [VO shift and the letter m] and then use the arrow keys to get to save to downloads, you can always move it from there.

You can also go to file and then save all attachments and then save them on your desk top as well. This for multiple attachments in an email and it's a fast way to do just that. Take care.

Re: Reading tables in Safari
What adds to the difficulty in reading these tables, is that VO will say column one, expanded across 5 rows. And then I arrow down, and I hear different co-ordinates spoken, but there doesn't appear to be a pattern to it. I was looking at some savings accounts that had fixed terms for investments, and different rates of interest determined by the term, but I couldn't make sense of which interest rate applied to which term etc, as I could only read horizontally, and not vertically. so, is there a way of reading up and down as well as right and left with VO? I know of course the up and down arrows can be used, but half the time, reading using the up arrow is the same as using left arrow, and down arrow does the same as using the right arrow. Puzzled, and need a bit of help.

RE: Reading tables in Safari
I think that probably what you may be experiencing is a non uniform table. As far as I am aware voiceover does not announce a non unified table layout to alert you to this problem. The non unified table layout will have varying columns and row arrangements throughout the table. Row one may have 3 columns and row 2 may have 6 columns for example. So when coordinates are read outs as you move through the table this may create a result which may not be easy to visualise without sight. A solution may be to decrease Voiceover verbosity so that coordinates are not read out which may make the table slightly more comprehensible. Mac OS is generally pretty dreadful at handling tables but in this instance Windows Screenreaders are little better though they will within documents indicate if a table is non uniform. The solution generally on other platforms is to copy the table off the web to a document format in which the table can be edited so that it becomes a regular uniform table . This is impossible to achieve in Mac Os Word Processors but may be possible in a Numbers or tables Spreadsheet. As I never bother trying to handle tables under Mac OS I will have to defer to other people's experience here as to whether this is a feasible work around. It is definitely a job which it is useful to have sighted support for. I used to use my DSA support for these sorts of problematic tables.

Re: Reading tables in Safari
Sounds about right I deal with tables all the time with safari and voice over. Never on other platforms unless I have to, and I just visualize those as I had to train myself how to do that because of a class lol! I guess all you can do is just imagine the space the table takes up on a piece of paper or vertically on a screen and imagine it expanding and shrinking to fi the table row and column's need. That probably does not make sense but the 3 years I've been using a mac this is what I've had to do and it works, but you will find your own way of thinking of these tables. Take care. On Jul 30, 2013, at 2:08 PM, David Griffith d.griff...@btinternet.com wrote: I think that probably what you may be experiencing is a non uniform table. As far as I am aware voiceover does not announce a non unified table layout to alert you to this problem. The non unified table layout will have varying columns and row arrangements throughout the table. Row one may have 3 columns and row 2 may have 6 columns for example. So when coordinates are read outs as you move through the table this may create a result which may not be easy to visualise without sight. A solution may be to decrease Voiceover verbosity so that coordinates are not read out which may make the table slightly more comprehensible. Mac OS is generally pretty dreadful at handling tables but in this instance Windows Screenreaders are little better though they will within documents indicate if a table is non uniform. The solution generally on other platforms is to copy the table off the web to a document format in which the table can be edited so that it becomes a regular uniform table . This is impossible to achieve in Mac Os Word Processors but may be possible in a Numbers or tables Spreadsheet. As I never bother trying to handle tables under Mac OS I will have to defer to other people's experience here as to whether this is a feasible work around. It is definitely a job which it is useful to have sighted support for. I used to use my DSA support for these sorts of problematic tables.

Re: Reading tables in Safari
I've found Chrome with VO handles some tables better than Safari. In addition, if you install the ChromeVox extension and take an hour or two to learn the ChromeVox navigation keys, you will have an additional TTS option when attempting to navigate troublesome tables.

iSangean, An App Full Of Surprises
Hi! Last week I wrote a brief introduction to the Sangean WRF-28D Dab/FM/Internet Radio, I've been playing with the set for a week now and here's my notes, comments and observations. This portable radio is thoroughly recommended as its feature packed and most features people without vision can easily use through either the radio itself, the iSangean App or through a web interface on a computer. Yes, you will need sighted assistance to set the radio up and no, you can't set alarms and you can't navigate through the menu system easily but those are small verses. The iSangean app allows near full remote control and interactivity with the radio to the extent that you can read the information displayed from Internet and DAB+ radio stations. For example, I tuned to the Sky Racing DAB+ channel and was able to see that the next race at Warrick Farm was at 3:15 this afternoon, tuning to the ABC News Radio DAB+ channel allowed me to view the current weather forecast for Melbourne, When I tuned to ABC Radio National I was able to read the currently airing programme and what was up next so we now have - all be it in a round about way - an accessible DAB+ radio. Using the App you can browse for Internet radio channels or search for what you're looking for, you can then save that station to 1 of the 5 preset buttons on the front of the radio or add it to your Favourites list. The Favourites list can be accessed via the web where it can be added to, edited and so on, the radio must be registered with the Radio Fronteer web site so that the site recognises the radio, this is done by creating an account on Radio Fronteer and then typing in a unique Access Code which is found in the radios Help menu. I will write a complete review of the radio shortly, when I've played with the set more. ** Dane Trethowan Skype: grtdane12 Phone US (213) 438-9741 Phone U.K. 01245 79 0598 Phone Australia (03) 9005 8589 Mobile: +61400494862 Fax +61397437954 ** Dane Trethowan Skype: grtdane12 Phone US (213) 438-9741 Phone U.K. 01245 79 0598 Phone Australia (03) 9005 8589 Mobile: +61400494862 Fax +61397437954 --- 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/.
