Numers on the iPad?

2013-02-18 Thread Mario Lang
Hi.

I have recently tried Apple Numbers from the iWork suite on the iPad.
My experience has been quite limited.  I tried one of the example table
personal savings.  After a while I could at least read the table on
screen, but I did not manage to change any of its fields.  What are
other people experiences with Numbers on iOS?  Does it work reliably
enough with VoiceOver to be useful on a daily basis?  Are there any
VoiceOver specific tricks that I am missing?

A useable Crosswords puzzle for iOS?

2013-02-18 Thread Mario Lang
Hi.

Does anyone know of an accessible, classic, crosswords game for iOS?
Preferably internationalized so that I could play german crosswords
puzzle too?

ABBYY fine reader express.

2013-02-18 Thread Dónal Fitzpatrick
HI all,

THis is on sale on MacUpdate today for $49.  I've seen it before and been 
tempted but never bothered.  Is it worth it?  Is there anything better?

Work are paying, so cost (for once) isn't an issue.

Hello Dónal,

ABBYY FineReader is definitely worth it. It's the best OCR for Mac and can 
handle three languages in one document. It's also really simple to use.

Cheers,

Adium And Facebook Chat

2013-02-18 Thread Harmony Neil
Hellow,
I know this is probably off topic, but coudn't think where else to ask it.
I've managed to get MSN working with adium just fine, but trying to get 
facebook chat working is the issue.  I pressed allow and put in my e-mail 
address and password.  It then says that my account has been temporarily locked 
etc. I click comtinue and either nothing happens whatsoever, or I am able to 
see that someone in this area (me) tried to log in using a device it doesn't 
recognize. I click ok and we go round in circles with the same thing all over 
again.
Has anyone else had this problem or have any suggestions?  It didn't happen on 
my other computer, so I can't think what the problem could be.
Thanks,
Harmony.

Re: ABBYY fine reader express.

2013-02-18 Thread Anne Robertson
Hello Dónal,

You can now scan multiple pages into one file with ABBYY FineReader. However, 
if you have a lot to scan, it's quicker to use VueScan for the scanning part as 
it can be set to scan multiple pages automatically. With FineReader, you have 
to click the Resume button then switch windows back to the scanner window and 
click to scan again.

If I'm doing a whole book, I use VueScan, and then it passes off to FineReader 
for the OCR. But if I'm only scanning a few pages, I just use FineReader.

VueScan has to be bought from the developer and costs $39 for one year, or $79 
for life. You can use it for free, but it leaves a watermark.

The website for VueScan is:
www.hamrick.com

Cheers,

Anne

Re: ABBYY fine reader express.

2013-02-18 Thread Anne Robertson
Hello Josh,

You need a scanner or a very good camera for ABBYY FineReader or any other OCR 
program for the Mac unless you're getting image PDFs that need OCR.

If you're looking for an OCR app for the iPhone, I'd strongly recommend Prizmo 
or Perfect OCR although other people also recommend Text Detective. With any of 
these, your biggest problem is making sure there's enough light and holding the 
iPhone as still as possible when taking the picture.

Cheers,

Anne

 Hello,
 I know this is probably off topic, but couldn't think where else to ask it.
 I've managed to get MSN working with adium just fine, but trying to get 
 facebook chat working is the issue.  I pressed allow and put in my e-mail 
 address and password.  It then says that my account has been temporarily 
 locked etc. I click continue and either nothing happens whatsoever, or I am 
 able to see that someone in this area (me) tried to log in using a device it 
 doesn't recognise. I click ok and we go round in circles with the same thing 
 all over again.
 Has anyone else had this problem or have any suggestions?  It didn't happen 
 on my other computer, so I can't think what the problem could be.
 Thanks,

Hello.

1. go to the part where you see your side of the stuff.

2. hit cmd up arrow a bunch of times until you get to your part where the 
computers/drives are list. Cmd c will not work. Perhaps I need to contact the

3. brows to your external drive and find the stuff.

4. once you find the stuff make sure you are where ever on the ftp side you

 Hello Josh,

 You need a scanner or a very good camera for ABBYY FineReader or any other 
 OCR program for the Mac unless you're getting image PDFs that need OCR.

 If you're looking for an OCR app for the iPhone, I'd strongly recommend 
 Prizmo or Perfect OCR although other people also recommend Text Detective. 
 With any of these, your biggest problem is making sure there's enough light 
 and holding the iPhone as still as possible when taking the picture.

 Cheers,

   Saturday, my wife and I walked in to a local business
 that sells computers and entertainment electronics and I bought
 a shiny new iPad, a protective case and a second router to act
 as a WiFi repeater as the signal in the room I use for amateur
 radio and general tinkering only shows around 50% signal if you
 hold your mouth just right.
 
   I haven't set up the new router yet, but I did get
 started on the iPad. It is an iPad 4 and I already made one
 major mistake when going through the setup. Somehow, I set the
 language to what was probably a form of Chinese. Chinese is
 Greek to me as I don't understand a word of either one.
 
   I wasn't sure what to do so I did a google search for
 iPad and wrong language and I found out that some other poor
 bloaks have done the same thing. One had set his to Portuguese and
 some of the answers were not terribly reassuring such as getting
 in to iTunes, doing some sort of monster restore and then, let's
 see; the egg rolls down the shoot, hits the little man who falls
 in to a basket of ping-pong balls and one of them hits a switch
 which rings the bell.
 
   Just kidding about all that, but not about the iTunes
 interaction and the huge restore. The fellow with the Portuguese
 iPad had actually tried this and the download took several hours
 on his connection and been interrupted several times.
 
   One person suggested that he get back in to the language
 selection screen, find his language again and tap the blue icon
 in the upper right corner.
 
   Basically, keep trying that until the iPad starts
 speaking your language again.
 
   I wasn't sure which way the iPad is supposed to face the
 user so I started looking for something that might help on line.
 I ran across something that discussed changing your screen
 layout and it accidentally mentioned the speaker at the bottom.
 
   This was an aha moment and I realized that mine was
 upside down. Voiceover sounds the same when you read it upside
 down, especially in Chinese.
 
   I turned it right side up, found a link which said
 something in Chinese followed by American-sounding English and
 then double-tapped the upper-right corner.
 
   It was a miracle!! English began emerging once again and
 I was able to finish setup.
 
   One of the things I bought was a bluetooth keyboard. I
 really wasn't able to get to the settings screen to use it,
 however, until I had finished Setup. I even used the on-screen
 keyboard to enter the password for our WiFi network and I think
 it took ten tries. I am not sure if it was due to a weak
 wireless signal or what but I sure wished for that keyboard at
 the time.
 
   Sometime after I selected to use location services, the
 clock at the top of the screen switched to Central Standard Time
 indicating that the GPS receiver had locked on to enough
 information to work properly.
 
   I turned on the siri application and asked What time is
 it? It told me the time and said I was in Stillwater. That is
 kind of interesting in that it is perfectly true but there are
 several Stillwaters in the United States. One is Stillwater,
 Minnesota which is also in our time zone.
 
   A few voiceover observations;
 
   Voiceover in IOS is great sounding but even with the
 keyboard, it is not as comfortable to use as it is on the Mac.
 Is there a way to make it read at least a screen full of text
 at a time as continuously typing the right arrow for each line
 is kind of old-school.
 
   Also, how does one make major moves about the system? I
 remember adjusting voiceover but am not sure where that screen
 went.
 
   One neat thing about the touch screen is that it
 certainly gives a person a good idea of the layout. I also
 noticed another very nice thing. I expected to have to pair the
 bluetooth keyboard with the ipad each time I powered them down
 and back up but they seem to remember the pairing when I turn
 everything back on.
 
   I think I am going to really like the iPad especially
 when I know my way around it better.
 
   It is a true technological marvel when you consider that
 not so many years ago, one could spend over a thousand US
 Dollars to buy a hardware synthesizer that only spoke one
 language and only did that when you hooked it up to a computer
 with the right software.
 
   I had an Apple II in 1979 that had 1 millionth of the
 memory this ipad has and it cost about 15-hundred 1979 Dollars.
 It is amazing.

 started on the iPad. It is an iPad 4 and I already made one
 major mistake when going through the setup. Somehow, I set the
 language to what was probably a form of Chinese. Chinese is
 Greek to me as I don't understand a word of either one.
 
 I wasn't sure what to do so I did a google search for
 iPad and wrong language and I found out that some other poor
 bloaks have done the same thing. One had set his to Portuguese and
 some of the answers were not terribly reassuring such as getting
 in to iTunes, doing some sort of monster restore and then, let's
 see; the egg rolls down the shoot, hits the little man who falls
 in to a basket of ping-pong balls and one of them hits a switch
 which rings the bell.
 
 Just kidding about all that, but not about the iTunes
 interaction and the huge restore. The fellow with the Portuguese
 iPad had actually tried this and the download took several hours
 on his connection and been interrupted several times.
 
 One person suggested that he get back in to the language
 selection screen, find his language again and tap the blue icon
 in the upper right corner.
 
 Basically, keep trying that until the iPad starts
 speaking your language again.
 
 I wasn't sure which way the iPad is supposed to face the
 user so I started looking for something that might help on line.
 I ran across something that discussed changing your screen
 layout and it accidentally mentioned the speaker at the bottom.
 
 This was an aha moment and I realized that mine was
 upside down. Voiceover sounds the same when you read it upside
 down, especially in Chinese.
 
 I turned it right side up, found a link which said
 something in Chinese followed by American-sounding English and
 then double-tapped the upper-right corner.
 
 It was a miracle!! English began emerging once again and
 I was able to finish setup.
 
 One of the things I bought was a bluetooth keyboard. I
 really wasn't able to get to the settings screen to use it,
 however, until I had finished Setup. I even used the on-screen
 keyboard to enter the password for our WiFi network and I think
 it took ten tries. I am not sure if it was due to a weak
 wireless signal or what but I sure wished for that keyboard at
 the time.
 
 Sometime after I selected to use location services, the
 clock at the top of the screen switched to Central Standard Time
 indicating that the GPS receiver had locked on to enough
 information to work properly.
 
 I turned on the siri application and asked What time is
 it? It told me the time and said I was in Stillwater. That is
 kind of interesting in that it is perfectly true but there are
 several Stillwaters in the United States. One is Stillwater,
 Minnesota which is also in our time zone.
 
 A few voiceover observations;
 
 Voiceover in IOS is great sounding but even with the
 keyboard, it is not as comfortable to use as it is on the Mac.
 Is there a way to make it read at least a screen full of text
 at a time as continuously typing the right arrow for each line
 is kind of old-school.
 
 Also, how does one make major moves about the system? I
 remember adjusting voiceover but am not sure where that screen
 went.
 
 One neat thing about the touch screen is that it
 certainly gives a person a good idea of the layout. I also
 noticed another very nice thing. I expected to have to pair the

Hello Josh,

Theoretically, the FaceTime camera can be used, but for a blind person to get a 
good image is really difficult, and considering how cheap a portable flatbed 
scanner is, it really isn't worth the hassle.

Cheers,

Anne

 Oh I see, so there's no app that could potentially use the FaceTime
 camera? If I understand it right, the quality that comes from such a
 cameras perfectly good for it.
