Re: [Audiogames-reflector] Need help with my smartphone.
Re: Need help with my smartphone. @SLJ:Im not sure if your post was directed at me or to A Little Gamer, either way...my issue isnt limited to just the messages ap. It refuses to let me hold down delete to clear out an entire block of text in any edit field.Also, I cant believe I forgot about this! My Talkback speech volume is linked to the music volume. Every time I plug in headphones and want to turn up my speech, the warning about listening to music at high volumes appears and if I cant find and double-tap on the OK button fast enough, the message goes away and I have to make it come back up again. I have searched for ways to disable this and there are several fixes such as rooting your phone and getting some custom modification ap so you can disable the warning. There is also supposed to be a setting under the google music players settings called Smart Volume, but that is apparently on a Samsung Galaxy S4 running stock firmware because my Moto G doesnt have tha t option. On the Motorola forums, someone posted that you need to hold down the volume up key at the same time you tap the OK button. Unfortunately, the message disappears too fast for me to do this. Besides, even if I were able to do this successfully and it disabled the warning, it apparently comes back after a device reboot. This is particularly annoying to me because I am totally blind save for light perception and have a moderate hearing impairment. Oh well. I suppose after some more trial and error Ill learn exactly where the OK button is, then I wont even be bothered because Ill be able to get to it quickly and just tap the message away like any normal person would.

Re: [Audiogames-reflector] Need help with my smartphone.
Re: Need help with my smartphone. I like my Android, having recently switched after using an iPhone for three years. Editing typed text was so easy on the iPhone. On Android, I cant tell where the insertion point is, ever, and I can change navigation granularity but I can never remember how to do that. Talkbacks gestures are not intuitive at all and often times I have trouble with them.Anyway, that is why this Jellybean Keyboard attracted me so much! There are two entries for it in the play store. One just says Jellybean Keyboard, listed as free. The other one says Jellybean Keyboard 4.3, also listed as free, both by the same company...so Im wondering, which one should I get? Maybe the one that says 4.3, but I guess Ill just try both since theyre apparently free. I see nothing that says, Pro however, implying that version isnt free, ...so...Ill just play around with this.The issue of you being unable to send SMS messages definitely sounds like something your cellular service provider will have to take care of.URL: http://forum.audiogames.net/viewtopic.php?pid=169661#p169661 ___ Audiogames-reflector mailing list Audiogames-reflector@sabahattin-gucukoglu.com http://sabahattin-gucukoglu.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/audiogames-reflector

There is a really good article somewhere on the web that discusses the specific issues that VO has when it comes to braille. All I really remember from the article, though, is something about if you pause too long when entering a letter, such as P, it will expand the letter P to the word People. You have to then delete the word and start over, making sure not to pause too long between key presses. Other than that, I dont know.

Re: I'm considering Android, what do you guys think? I have a Moto G running KitKat. Ive had it for a few weeks and find the accessibility to be much less fluid than an iPhone. While doable, I am much slower than with an iPhone. Typing is especially problematic because if I accidentally touch even just a tiny bit above the keyboard and slide my finger even the slightest bit left or right, the keyboard freezes. I have to take my finger off the screen for a few seconds and sometimes I have to even press back to get the keyboard to hide so I can reshow it. This particularly seems to happen in the messaging app. Editing is impossible. I cant even figure out how to do it. I like the global and whatever that other context menu is called that they introduced in Jellybean but still cant seem to find any way to edit text messages, for example.

It doesnt work as well as TalkBack for exploring the screen and I dont like the way it forces me to use its home screen. I cant figure out how to get back to my regular home screen when its running.

Some things like the App here for local city bus schedules work if you explore the screen but swiping through items would make you think nothing is there or a lot of things are missing.

It is used for emergency communications when other things such as phones go down in bad weather, but since I cant really be a storm spotter since all I can rely on is other sources like radio etc. giving updates about the weather in my location is a bit pointless since it would just be repeating information already given by others.Also, since Im only a technitian class operator, a lot of the international communication pathways are closed to me.

I want the expressive driver, obviously, and if I can indeed just purchase just one voice and obtain the driver along with it, how much would that cost in US dollars?URL: http://forum.audiogames.net/viewtopic.php?pid=162674#p162674 ___ Audiogames-reflector mailing list Audiogames-reflector@sabahattin-gucukoglu.com http://sabahattin-gucukoglu.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/audiogames-reflector
Re: [Audiogames-reflector] getting the new siri voices for voice over.
Re: getting the new siri voices for voice over. I got the Alex UI sound theme to work on iOS 6. I have a post on AppleVis somewhere detailing the exact steps I took to do this. However, the theme relies on Winterboard which even in iOS 6 was kind of iffy. So, if you cant get other Winterboard themes to work on iOS 7, then this one will not work either.I would also like to know where I can obtain the Vocalizer expressive driver so I can use these voices with NVDA because my iPhone 4S got stolen on New Years eve when two people broke into our house and stole my phone, an HP Sleekbook, an HP tablet and our Clearwire modem along with all the cables and wires they possibly could find. The criminals are known around this area for selling electronics to other people for drugs, so the police have informed us that the likelyhood of us getting our devices back is well, not likely at all! So, I want to use these voices with something! LOL. Im thinking that the Vocalizer expressive driver will have to be purchased or ill egally downloaded, but I really hope Im wrong on that one.URL: http://forum.audiogames.net/viewtopic.php?pid=162509#p162509 ___ Audiogames-reflector mailing list Audiogames-reflector@sabahattin-gucukoglu.com http://sabahattin-gucukoglu.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/audiogames-reflector
Re: [Audiogames-reflector] urgent skype help needed
Re: urgent skype help needed Yep, and the day that the Skype API will no longer be able to be used by third-party applications will be a sad one, indeed. I managed to murge my Skype and Microsoft accounts using NVDA and the version of Skype that comes with Windows 8. I even figured out how to use it successfully with NVDA. Its a bit of a clunky interface, but it works.URL: http://forum.audiogames.net/viewtopic.php?pid=159905#p159905 ___ Audiogames-reflector mailing list Audiogames-reflector@sabahattin-gucukoglu.com http://sabahattin-gucukoglu.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/audiogames-reflector

[Audiogames-reflector] CDesk by AdaptiveVoice
CDesk by AdaptiveVoice Hi all:I just found out about this fully functioning screen reader distributed with twenty custom applications thanks to Access World. I have gotten the 15-day trial. Ive messed with the media player a little. The interface is simple but as an every-day screen reader, even though it costs $400 US, still has a very long way to go. The only keys that seem to intorrupt speech are the control and arrow keys. This means as you cycle through controls with tab, unless you want to hit control after hitting tab each time, you must wait for the speech to finish. I can find how to change the SAPI 5 voice, but not its rate or anything else. I know that this could be done through the control panel, but it should be able to be done through the screen reader itself. Interestingly enough, the setting to change the voice is found under advanced settings and it gives you this nice little warning that the advanced settings should only be accessed by technical support staff and you must press continue to get to this page. I also do not like that there are only help videos, no text documentation that I can find. The audio quality of these videos is awful! Also, its voice recognition features can only be use if you have a certain type of USB headset. I cant remember exactly what the help video said. I will be speaking with the adaptiveVoice folks on Monday, as I am considering purchasing the software if I like it enough, but I want them to help me get it optimized for my use as I am what they would probably consider an advanced computer user.I was just mainly wondering if anyone else has used this screen reader recently and what, if any thoughts, comments, etc. anyone may have.Thanks for any hints, suggestions or comments in advance.JamesURL: http://forum.audiogames.net/viewtopic.php?pid=158362#p158362 ___ Audiogames-reflector mailing list Audiogames-reflector@sabahattin-gucukoglu.com http://sabahattin-gucukoglu.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/audiogames-reflector

Re: game stream This site is very difficult to use because it has so much dynamic content on it and it makes NVDA so sluggish that I cant find a link to play the video/audio.

Re: [Audiogames-reflector] CDesk by AdaptiveVoice
Re: CDesk by AdaptiveVoice Oh, Dear. I didnt consider that my post would cause multiple people to get the idea that Im new to screen readers. This is not the case, which is exactly why I talked about all of its limitations. I have used JAWS since version 3.7 and Window-Eyes since 4.5 although not as regularly as JAWS. I am currently using NVDA on this Windows 8 laptop only because video intercept refuses to install or uninstall. The JAWS installation doesnt come up talking even after multiple complete uninstalls. When I try to repair video intercept, I get a message that VideoAccessibility.msi cannot be found. I have the 64-bit version of Video intercept as a .exe file, and when I try to run that, it installs the admin tool then closes. I tried running it again after a restart and it just installed the admin tool again. I tried to use NVDAs keyboard object navigation but eventually just gave up and used the physica mouse to uninstall those preloaded Norton Internet Security programs. I just happened upon CDesk and wanted to try it out. I would say that this company will not be around for long. It sounds like it might be more useful for those with low-vision since it has high-contrast etc.It does have a way to interface with Skype somehow. It says that Skype doesnt even need to be installed on the computer. Also, it lets you search NLS BARD titles but I cant figure out how to do that exactly and Im not sure if their included media player will actually let you play them. These are the only two uses I really see for this screen reader and it is definitely not worth that price tag! I think it is a little less than $300 but I know it over $300 LOL. I messed with it a little bit more this morning and couldnt find any way to make it less sluggish. It is sluggish to do everything. Start up, check for updates, respond to keystrokes. It also doesnt read anything outside of itself that I can tell. It starts up and says good whatever time of day it is then your name. So, cute, but definitely not my cup of tea. Ill take muy JAWS cursor any day. I dont like NVDAs keyboard review commands. I find the layered structure too annoying. I much prefer JAWSs approach. Actually, I like the Virtual Mouse toggle from system access the best, actually, but JAWS reads quite a bit more than System Access does. It is still a very nice screen reader especially with all the extras. Since Im probably going to become primarily a windows user since my Mac seems to be dead, I am once again considering purchasing SA along with SAMNet. I need to read Access Worlds review fully again. Still, its way too slow for me.URL: http://forum.audiogames.net/viewtopic.php?pid=158415#p158415 ___ Audiogames-reflector mailing list Audiogames-reflector@sabahattin-gucukoglu.com http://sabahattin-gucukoglu.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/audiogames-reflector

Re: [Audiogames-reflector] urgent skype help needed
Re: urgent skype help needed You might try CallGraph Recorder for Skype. The web address is:http://scribie.com/free-skype-recorderIt says it is only for Windows XP and higher, so it might be too old to work with Windows 8, but give it a try if you want. I would also like to get rid of the Skype app that comes with windows 8 because it is trying to force me to use my Microsoft account. I do have a Microsoft account, but I dont want to use it with Skype because I have a standard Skype account and dont want to have to add all my contacts to a new account. I dont appreciate not being able to use my regular Skype account just because Im on Windows 8. If anyone knows how to get around this, please let me know.ThanksURL: http://forum.audiogames.net/viewtopic.php?pid=158243#p158243 ___ Audiogames-reflector mailing list Audiogames-reflector@sabahattin-gucukoglu.com http://sabahattin-gucukoglu.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/audiogames-reflector
Re: [Audiogames-reflector] touch screen: NVDA or jaws?
Re: touch screen: NVDA or jaws? I am writing this post from an HP Sleekbook with 10-point touch, whatever that means. It sounds as though you can only touch the screen at 10 different locations, but I really have no idea. I just got this thing the other day. I have both NVDA and JAWS on it. I am using JAWS 14, though, not 15. It should also be noted that, for what its worth, Windows 8s own Narrator has excellent touch screen support as far as performing the same gestures one would be used to on an iPhone or Android device. I dont find the ability just to touch a particular area and get spoken feedback very useful since this screen is much bigger than my iPhone screen and add to that the fact I have no useful vision. I also hate Windows 8 and would love to downgrade this powerhouse to 7, but that requires not only buying a copy of Windows 7 but also finding the exact drivers for this particular machine. Interestingly enough, the touch screen would still work after the downgrade. Apparently, 7 ha s generic touch screen drivers built in and there is also something called the Windows 7 Touch Pack that you can get. If you Google How to downgrade from windows 8 to 7 as I did, you will find all these things and more!URL: http://forum.audiogames.net/viewtopic.php?pid=157286#p157286 ___ Audiogames-reflector mailing list Audiogames-reflector@sabahattin-gucukoglu.com http://sabahattin-gucukoglu.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/audiogames-reflector
Re: [Audiogames-reflector] Goodbye Windows XP, i still get nistalgic over you.
Re: Goodbye Windows XP, i still get nistalgic over you. I find this amusing. Ever since the release of Windows Vista, there have been continuous roomers with each new OS released that XP support will be dropped on such and such date. I run XP in a virtual machine on my Mac and I can tell you that security updates for the OS are still actively being released. I usually see about two or three a month come through windows update. They might not be quite that frequent, its not like I keep update logs or anything, but its enough to show me that ...Ill believe XP support is dropped when I see something official instead of what weve been seeing since the release of Vista.It is very true that a lot of businesses are still running XP, so I find it really hard to believe that Microsoft would be dumb enough to quit releasing security updates for it unless, that is, they want to pay the costs for all businesses to upgrade. LOL!I do think that the dropping of XP support is getting closer and closer, though. I h ave a friend that works for the AAA emergency road service and they are being forced to move to 7, not by Microsoft, but by the AAA division in California. Although, for companies like AAA and the IRS that store mountains of highly protected data, this comes as no surprise.URL: http://forum.audiogames.net/viewtopic.php?pid=157287#p157287 ___ Audiogames-reflector mailing list Audiogames-reflector@sabahattin-gucukoglu.com http://sabahattin-gucukoglu.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/audiogames-reflector
Re: [Audiogames-reflector] Mavericks
Re: Mavericks I have a lot of items in my Doc. Still running Mountain Lion. I didnt realize that used up Ram even though the apps arent running...Will have to research this to know for sure.Browsing in Safari just sucks worse. Thats ok. Safari and VoiceOver havent played nice for a few OS X versions now. Ive been a Mac user since Leopard. I hate the column view bug if it is indeed true that it exists. I much prefer column view over the other two views.The keystroke to add items to the doc is not undocumented. If you have VoiceOver set to speak access keys after menu items (I dont remember how I got mine to do it,) the add to doc menu item says command+shift+t after reading said option. Just wait, folks! Downgrade if you want to. Apple was pushed to go free with this version? Interesting. Lion and Mountain Lion were both only $30 to upgrade. Not too shabby, in my opinion, considering a copy of Windows 7 from Amazon is still $128/$89 f or Home Premium and $179/$99 for Professional. I included the sale price along with Amazons price to illistrate just how awesome Amazon is because you save money! Haha. I am a prime member and will continue to be for as long as Amazon sticks to its level of customer support and prime features stay the same. Ive returned a couple things to them and got my money back in a timely manner and I didnt have to hastle them for it!
