Re: Bonjour de Paris
Hi Claude, Good to know there are other froggs in this list. I've been on the mac boat for a bit over 2 months now, and i don't think i will boot up windows for a while, at least until they make win screenreaders more intuitive and add the multitrack pad. Just can't praise this enough. Well, if your english isn't to par, it doesn't appear not to be :) A bientot Yuma --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups MacVisionaries group.

Re: Accessibility of Garage Band
Hi, Here is a little overview of what is VO compatible in GB5 with SL: You can do all basic recording, record enable/disable tracks, mute, solo, volume, punch-in, select software instruments, set and edit effects for each track and the master, select input source and monitor setting, use quantize function and tuning correction, set tempo and resolution for quantize and timing correction. You can add loops, but not move or edit them. You can not change the pan control from centered position, and you can not edit or move record events or notes. You will not be able to arrange parts of your music in the timeline. You can not see where you are in measures/beats, and you can not use the tuner lcd. You have currently to look at it like a tape recorder with effects and software instruments and the ability to add loops. I know this is just a simple overview, and do not cover many things you can do, but I think it will give you a picture. If you plan your recordings well, what you should always do anyway, GarageBand will work great, and even better when everything is accessible.

RE: songs appearing in iTunes?
Hi Esther, Thank you for all this info. It didn't occur to me to try CMD-I because I thought it would just give me title, author, that sort of thing. I wil try the Command-I option and see what it turns up. It seems really unlikely that I am sharing someone else's library, given that we're only talking about four songs. But if CMD-I yields nothing, I will check those settings out as well. Best, Donna -Original Message- From: Esther mori...@mac.com Sent: Monday, September 28, 2009 1:40 AM To: macvisionaries@googlegroups.com Subject: Re: songs appearing in iTunes? Hi Donna, If you want to check the source of tracks that are in your iTunes library that you think may have been purchased, you can do so. You can check when iTunes tracks were purchased (and by whom) by selecting the track and using Get Info (Command-I), and choosing the Summary tab. You'll be able to read off whether the track has DRM (the Kind field will include the word Protected -- e.g., Protected AAC audio file instead of Purchased AAC audio file), the size, bit rate, sample rate, play count, last played date, along with fields for Purchased by, Account Name, and Purchase Date. Even free tracks from the iTunes Store are registered as Purchased -- just for $0.00. On the other hand, tracks that you've encoded yourself won't have these fields. You can also check your complete purchase history on iTunes by logging in, and checking your account. If you've logged in, then the Store menu on the iTunes menu bar will have an entry for View my account (followed by your account name), and you'll be prompted for your password. There will be a button for Purchase History that you can press (VO-Space). You'll get a list of your purchases shown by date (most recent first), and a Previous Purchases menu where you can select a month and year period to check. I think that just querying the tracks you don't recognize with Command-I will tell you what you need. The other possibility, as others have mentioned, is that your iTunes Sharing preferences have been set to view other iTunes libraries on the same network, and that you're able to play songs that are in someone else's iTunes library. You can check your iTunes preferences with Command-Comma to bring up the preferences menu, then select the Sharing tab and see whether Look for shared libraries is checked. However, music tracks that are from shared libraries shouldn't appear mixed in with your own. The libraries show up (identified by name) in the source table, and you need to expand those libraries to view and play the associated music that is shared for streaming play.

Re: Accessibility of Garage Band
Hi Krister, Apple will always create different ways to do things, and even though if you do not have the ability to use the gesture features right now, you will probably do so in the future. By putting your ideas into it now, you will apply to the accessibility innovations. The features by them selfs will always be available through keyboard commands and VO interaction anyway when they are compatible.

using Mac with Blackboard
Hello all, I realize this is probably a long-shot, but I'm wondering if there is anyone on this list using Blackboard on their Mac, preferably from the faculty side. The problems I am having are in the gradebook. I can see all the columns for each item needing grading, but can't tell which column corresponds to which item. So, for example, I cannot find a way to figure out whether the column I am on is for the test they just took--worth one point total--or for an assignment they turned in last week, worth a very different point total. It does not seem to matter at all, whether I'm in DOM or groups mode, actually, the page looks very similar whichever mode I set it to. Appreciate any help anyone can offer.

Re: Accessibility of Garage Band
Hello again, I have a few GarageBand-related questions which I hope somebody can clarify: 1. How can I assign names to tracks so that in the mixer I can quickly find the track whose parameters I want to change? 2. How can I punch in so that from the moment I punch in the recording is replaced, and from the moment I stop playing the original recording is preserved? 3. How can I copy part of a track such that it would repeat, i.e. create my own loop? 4. How can I fade out the end of a production and control where fadeout starts?

Re: Using My 1Tb Hard Disk With My MacBook Pro
Your MacBook will be able to read the files you have on your drive, and can write to a FAT 32-formatted disc as well, so you shouldn't have any difficulties at all. That said, one could make an argument against continuing to use FAT 32 over the long term -- and in favor of another format -- but I'll leave that debate for another day. First, enjoy the heck out of your new computer once it arrives. The OS is different and it'll take a bit of getting used to -- it did for me, at least -- but once you begin to get the hang of a few things, you'll love the Mac, its OS, and VoiceOver, which will allow you to do things you never could have imagined. When I was using a PC running JAWS, I was always afraid that something would go wrong -- and it often did. Now, I'm actually having fun day to day, and accomplishing things, too.

You can add loops, but not move or edit them. You can not change the pan control from centered position, and you can not edit or move record events or notes. You will not be able to arrange parts of your music in the timeline. You can not see where you are in measures/beats, and you can not use the tuner lcd. You have currently to look at it like a tape recorder with effects and software instruments and the ability to add loops. I know this is just a simple overview, and do not cover many things you can do, but I think it will give you a picture. If you plan your recordings well, what you should always do anyway, GarageBand will work great, and even better when everything is accessible.

Latest version of iTunes (9.0.1) lets you delete apps with your screen reader [was Re: How to delete iPhone apps from iTunes?]
Hi all, I notice that it is now possible to accessibly delete iPhone and iPod Touch applications from your iTunes library in the latest version of iTunes (version 9.0.1 released September 22, 2009), at least on the Mac side. What's different about this version is that you can switch the default display format used for applications from grid view to either list view or cover flow view. In either one of the latter two views, and perhaps most simply in list view, you can simply use the delete key to remove applications from your library. So the procedure I use to delete apps in the iTunes application is to select Applications in the Sources table of iTunes, switch the view mode to List View with shortcut keys Command-3 on a Mac (or Control-3 in Windows), then navigate to the list and press the delete key to remove applications from my iTunes library. That's the quick summary. The rest of this post gives details about some other new features that are now supported through screen reader interfaces, such as check summary information about installed app versions, updating etc. as well as a more complete summary description of the new options (for people who might want to stop reading here). You can change the view by selecting the option from the View menu on the iTunes menu bar, by navigating to and pressing the corresponding view button in the iTunes application window, or by using the keyboard shortcuts for switching view. These are: List view -- Control-3 for Windows; Command-3 for Mac Grid view -- Control-4 for Windows; Command-4 for Mac Cover Flow view -- Control-5 for Windows; Command-5 for Mac (note: unless you have some vision or are displaying applications in iTunes for someone with vision there's probably no reason to select Cover Flow view, since it adds a visual area for each application that you'll need to navigate past in order to reach the list of applications and delete your selection). Once you have used the switched to either Context menu options also work for these entries, with support for Get Info, Show File Location, and Delete and also for their corresponding shortcut keys: Get Info -- Control-I for Windows; Command-I for Mac Show File Location -- Control-R for Windows; Command-R for Mac (this is called Show in Finder on the Mac) Delete -- Delete key If you can't remember the keyboard shortcuts, you can find the first two options under the FIle menu of the iTunes menu bar and the last under the Edit menu (though I think most people will try the Delete key automatically smile. The Get Info Summary tab pane identifies the version of the application in use and when it was purchased. Deleting works the same way as for music: there are two dialog windows, the first asking whether you are sure you want to delete the app from the iTunes library, and the second (if you indicate you do want to delete the app) asking whether you also want to move the app to the trash. You can cancel the process at either screen by pressing the Cancel button. (On the Mac you can also do this by pressing the Escape key; I don't know whether Windows supports this). If you use the Show FIle Location menu option or shortcut (Control-R or Command-R) on a selected app, a Windows Explorer or Finder window, depending on whether you are on a PC or a Mac, gets displayed with the file for an app highlighted in its current file location. Should you choose to delete an app from the iTunes table for an app, but NOT move the app to the trash, you can navigate back to this window, if you've displayed it with Control- or Command-R previous to doing the delete, and find the file with the option of moving or copying it to another location. Because of changes to accessibility interfaces of apps, I create a folder for old app versions, and store old versions of applications there. You could similarly store apps that you may not currently want on your iPhone or iPod Touch, but don't want to permanently delete. For example, before I got an iPod Touch and was able to check this for myself, someone reported that the NumberKey Free app from Balmuda that lets you use your iPhone or iPod Touch as a numeric keypad did not have labeled buttons. As far as I know, this app was not updated, but with the OS 3.1 software update all buttons are spoken by VoiceOver and I can use this app to both enter spreadsheet information and also (under the Mac's VoiceOver support of the NumPad Commander feature in Leopard and Snow Leopard) customize the numeric keypad of this app for VoiceOver commands to use on my computer, even though I'm using a laptop without a numeric keypad on the keyboard. I've also heard that Sibelius laptop users have successfully used this app to work with numeric keypad shortcuts. Anyway, you might not want to permanently delete all apps that currently seem to be not fully

(Mark Taylor kindly posted these on his Candleshore blog and to the VIPhone list). The first link is to the complete manual and the second is to the section of the manual dealing with accessibility features, which is probably of most interest to you, since it will describe usage and gestures. http://help.apple.com/iphone/3/voiceover/en/ http://help.apple.com/iphone/3/voiceover/en/iphddd0e033.html Mark also recently posted a link to the Apple video demo of the iPhone 3GS using VoiceOver: http://www.apple.com/iphone/iphone-3gs/accessibility.html#video Also, I pasted in a link to Josh's review of the iPhone 3GS when I meant to give you the link to the accessibile apps page at the Mac- cessibility web page. The accessible apps list can be found at: http://www.lioncourt.com/voiceover-compatible-iphone-applications/ HTH. Cheers, Esther Christina wrote: Thank you so very much.

I'm considering getting an iphone. Thanks, Christina I'm not sure which podcasts May referred to when she said that listening to podcasts about the iPhone before she got the iPhone helped her to learn about the iPhone, but there are a lot of these around. Shane Jackson came out with a number of podcasts on his new iPhone 3GS at the BlindWorld Blog and Podcast back in June, and there were some later podcasts by Dennis Bartlett and others at that site. The Serotek blog pages and podcasts have had some really good coverage, also including the new features (like copy and paste) that were implemented with the recent OS 3.1 update to the iPhone 3GS and iPod Touch. Mark Taylor has also covered a lot of iPhone tutorials and tips on his Candleshore blog and in his podcasts. There have also been round-table discussions in the mac-cessibility podcast.

There's also the viphone list at Google Groups: http://groups.google.com/group/viphone and you can subscribe to: viphone-subscr...@googlegroups.com HTH. This is not meant to be an exhaustive list, and someone who actually has an iPhone may be able to provide a better summary.

Re: iPod Nano fails to speak again. Help?
Hi Jenny, I remember that when you posted, Anne Robertson wrote back that the problem seemed connected with the firmware update for the Nano 4G, and that her husband had found a work around by using Disk Utility (which will basically erase the contents and allow you to start again as with a new device that will work correctly once you set it up). Did you try this? You can bring up Disk Utility under Finder with the Command- Shift-U shortcut. Just remember to select the iPod Nano as your device (and not your Macintosh HD) when you apply the fix. I'm appending Anne's post: begin excerpt Hello Jenny, You're not alone! My husband had the same problem this morning, so here are his instructions on how to rescue your iPod. Cheers, Anne Rescuing a sick iPod Connect up the iPod and open Disk Utility. Select the iPod in the table on the left, then select the First Aid tab. Click on the Repair disk button. If Disk Utility fails to repair the iPod, it will have to be erased. To do this, click on the Erase tab. It would be best then to click on the Security Options button and choose Zero out data, then click OK, followed by Erase. Once it has been erased, you should be able to eject and disconnect it from your Mac. When you connect the iPod again, it should launch iTunes, which should offer to reinitialise it and let you start again from scratch. end excerpt Let us know how you get along. I understand that the issue is not warranty, etc. but getting to the nearest Apple Store which is far away, since I'm sure the folks there could sort this for you if you took in your Macbook and Nano.

Re: A basic word processing question
I haven't noticed a reply to this yet. In Open Office there are three main regions. The toolbars at the top, scroll are which has the document and then a footer with general info at the bottom. In that footer the first item should read page X / Y which tells you you are on page X and that there are Y pages in the document. To set line spacing you can use the Paragraph setting from the Format menu. Under the indents spacing panel towards the end is a Spacing popup menu which just reads 'dimmed' as you arrow through it. But VO-A will read the current setting so you can switch it from single to 1.5 or double spacing (along with a few others). Hope this helps.

Tip: Creating a Wireless network for your iPhone or iPod Touch with your Airport card
Hi all, A week ago, when I was traveling with my MacBook and new iPod Touch, I made use of two features that allowed me to use my iPod Touch with my MacBook, even in the absence of a local Wi-Fi network: • creating an ad hoc network between Mac and iPhone or iPod Touch This lets you use free apps like the Apple Remote to control iTunes playback on your computer, or the NumberKey Free app from Balmuda to enter data into a spreadsheet program using your iPhone or iPod Touch as a numeric keypad. You can pair the two devices and work independently of any network connection. (You can also use ad hoc network creation to connect two Mac computers in the absence of a wireless or wired network.) Instructions on creating an ad hoc network accompany the description of each app. (Basically, you navigate to the AirPort menu on your Status bar and choose the option to Create Network… instead of selecting a network to join. Then you have your iPod Touch or iPhone join this network.) • using my Mac as a wireless access point for my iPod Touch and sharing my wired (ethernet) connection with the iPod Touch. This is also a more general way to share wired access with more than one computer through your Mac's Airport card by turning your Mac into a software base station. The best description I've read of both these procedures is in the Take Control of Your 802.11n AirPort Network guide from: http://www.takecontrolbooks.com/ They're actually side discussions to the main content of the guide, and the use of the Mac to share your internet connection with other devices and computers is described in one of the appendices of the Take Control guide under the subject of Setting up a software base station. However, if you want to read instructions on how to share your internet connection with an iPhone or iPod Touch, this is covered in a recent TUAW article, Mac 101: Create a wireless network between Mac and iPhone by Josh Carr, on Sep 25th 2009: http://www.tuaw.com/2009/09/25/mac-101-create-a-wireless-network-between-mac-and-iphone/ You'll want to read this web page in DOM mode. This saves me having to describe the procedure. Anyone who has the Take Control of Your 802.11n AirPort Network, check Appendix C for a more extensive discussion that describes other options. Note that you can also share your network with Windows computers, but you'll be told that when connecting to non-Apple Computers you can only assign a 40-bit WEP password. Again, the appendix of the Take Control guide gives a more extensive discussion. HTH. Main result is that I was able to use streaming radio apps, news apps, etc. even when I didn't have a Wi-Fi network. One caveat is that for location finding apps, like AroundMe, you need to type in your geographic location instead of trying to have the app locate you. This is because the wi-fi based location identification relies on Skyhook's mapping of wi-fi towers, and your local MacBook access point won't be in their mapped data base.

Re: iPhone honored by NFB
Right, so you either need to have sighted assistance to choose Settings - General - Accessibility - VoiceOver on/off. Or, if you have Voiceover turned on when you sync the phone to your Mac it will turn VO on in the phone. Once you have VO turned on, assuming you have or will updated to the 3.1 OS rev, you should also turn on the triple-click-home tap to turn VO on and off which is also on the Accessibility settings pane.

Re: torrents
I use utorrent for mac. I did a google search, and found it through the greatness of the search engine. It is accessible with the mac, the only peculiarity that I found was that you download the torrent files to downloads and when you open them up it launches the torrent client. Most stuff is accessible to set up through the pull down menus. Hope this helps. I am not aware of any podcasts that specificly deal with toorents and mac.

RE: quick nav problem
It seams as if there is more going on then I first experienced. Under the settings I was previously operating mail would let you vio keys left after selecting the mail box you were interested in. First it would say vertical splitter. Vio right again, and you would be in the message table. You would then be able to freely arrow up and down and voice over would read each of the messages senders and subject lines. Now it will only read the top mail and if you try to arrow up and down left or right it will read all of the splitters and not let you navigate the column that you were in initially . It acts if vio keys are locked and I have tried to turn the vio lock on and off again, with no resolve. It will not even let me navigate the menus correctly with out getting stuck in the first option with a sub menu. No matter the interaction you are not able to navigate even the sub menus.

In the Services table, select the File Sharing row and be sure it's checked. Stop interacting with that row and VO-Right Arrow to the Options button. ONe of the options is the Share files and folders using SMB (Windows) check box. Check this box. Then press Enter to activate the Done button, close System Preferences, and you should be all set.

Re: Another Text-to-speech product
sweet. I hope there are samples there! I'll check it out when I get back from class.

It appears you need to go to a Scottish school to obtain a free copy of Heather.

They have a few decent voices for Mac and Windows. The languages they have are Scottish, Black Country, southern British, Catalan, Spanish and Japanese. They even make some celebrity voices such as George W Bush, Arnold Schwarzenegger and Barack Obama. The cool part is that you can download the Heather Scottish voice for free for academic purposes. Just thought this might be of interest to some. Thanks, Blake --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups MacVisionaries group.

Re: very very off topic, dec-talk express.
You know this is way off toppic but post it anyway. What's wrong with you guys and girls posting offtoppic messages like this one? People must be either just plain stupid or just post offtoppic crap just to piss off all the subscribers to the list. - Original Message - From: Karen Lewellen klewel...@shellworld.net To: list voiceover macvisionaries@googlegroups.com Sent: Tuesday, September 29, 2009 1:08 PM Subject: very very off topic, dec-talk express. Looking for one of these, and thought you never know. If you are in Canada so much the better as I am a touch time limited. Will even consider renting one of these as I require it for travel.
