Re: VO and tables in Lion
Hello Jürgen, Thanx for this announcement. I'll report this for shore because this seems simply unacceptable in 2011. I hope a lot of others will do so. But also a litle remark: It isn't perhaps macosx that needs this feature but the particular programs like textedit and pages. I mean, perhaps they will add this functionality in iworks 11, (the next major version). So, for all, pls , report what you think about it to accessibility. Best regards, William Op 6-apr-2011, om 22:40 heeft Jürgen Fleger het volgende geschreven: Hi All, a friend told me VO still doesn't work with tables in text documents in Lion beta 2 what came out these days. As you all surely know tables in text documents are a huge issue working with VoiceOver. I think this is awful and unworthy to VoiceOver. VO is really a great screen reader but it seems not to be tolerable in 2011 that a screen reader doesn't work with tables. So I'll ask all of you to write an e-mail to accessibil...@apple.com to show that a lot of people are waiting for the ability of VO to recognize tables in text documents. In lots of discussions people told me What? VoiceOver doesn't recognize tables in text documents? So VO might not be a serious screen reader. But that's not true, as we all know. And so my hope is when enough people write an e-mail to Apple and ask for that functionallity, Apple might see that it is really important to us.

RE: accessible install of snow leopard in VMWare Player
Hi Hmm seems that an accessible install of snow leopard under VMWare isn't a viable way for me to try out snow leopard and voice over. I'll give virtualbox a try and hope that I get better results. I would only try a duel-boot install of snow leopard using something like IHazard (which includes voice over) as a last resort; I haven't found out either way whether Snow Leopard would install on an Acer Aspire 4750G. I'm not sure how well snow leopard would react to the fact that I'm using a core I7 quad-core sandybridge processor, which includes an integrated intel HD Graphics 3000 chip. I wouldn't expect things like gestures to work even if I successfully get mac installed. -Original Message- From: macvisionaries@googlegroups.com [mailto:macvisionaries@googlegroups.com] On Behalf Of Ben Mustill-Rose Sent: Thursday, April 07, 2011 12:40 AM To: macvisionaries@googlegroups.com Subject: Re: accessible install of snow leopard in VMWare Player This is against apples eula, even *if* you have purchased snow leopard. To get the dvd to boot, you'll first have to boot the vm using boot132, wait for some text to appear on the screen, eject the disk, insert snowy, complete the install potentially without voice over and then get audio plus some other things working post install. Its not something you'll be able to do on your own. It would probably be easier (But still not accessible) if you were to set up a duelboot depending on what computer you have at the moment.

Either voice-over doesn't start (which shouldn't be happening since I have a snow leopard retail dvd) or there is problem with sound during boottime in the vm.

Eye-Pal
Hi Everyone: A little while ago, there was some discussion about the Eye-Pal and possible Mac software. I looked on the website and it is available by itself for$150.00. From what I can tell, the manual only mentions software for the PC. The website is: HTTP//WWW.absiee.com. As soon as I have the money, I will definitely get an Eye-Pal. Hope this helps.

Re: Eye-Pal
I have one here, and I have to say the current hardware rocks my world. The accuracy is outstanding. The software interface for the mac needs to be completely rebuilt but I've been told they are working on it. Basicly the mac software is just the windows software, only hacked to run in a virtual environment. It's not pretty but it does get the job done.

Re: esys braille display and cardreader
Hi William. I too have an Essys 40 braille display and thus far I haven't been able to connect via bluetooth as the display was recently upgraded. However I know I can connect it. When connecting the display with the USB then I see the display as a disk but the volume is unnamed. I haven't tried going into the volume as yet. I haven't done much with the display using the Mac as yet so can't help you on your second part of the question. I am more familar with the display connected to my I phone. Kawal.

Re: VO and tables in Lion
Hi William, thanks for your responds. I don't think that it's very likely that VO will recognize tables in iWorks 11. Also: VoiceOver should work with tables in all accessible editors.

Hi there! Well Courtney when you've got a call running, you should be in a window with that contacts name and stuff! If you vo left arrow you should pass a splitter and come to the source field that way! And Chris in the same name field when you've got a call running, if you scroll right you should come across the end call button! If it is not there and you come to a splitter first you might have to move it to reveal the button! Interact with the splitter and right arrow so it says something like 60% or more! Then stop interacting and you should now find that button! As for switching on the cam whilst in a call I'm not sure that can be done! Although trying to find out! Colin Qapla!

Re: Two really annoying problems with Skype version 5.0
One other thing you can do is use windows chooser; VO F2 twice quickly, arrow through the list until you hear incoming call.

Re: VO and tables in Lion
Hi, can you clarify just what you mean about text documents and tables? As I see it, there are no tables in text documents. there are elements of text with elements of white space between. Are you talking about some sort of smart column recognition as in OCR programs? No Screenreader does that, and I'm not entirely sure it should. If, however, you mean properly rendering table markup as in xml/html ... and other file formats, then it is definitely a step backward for this feature to not be implemented in 10.7 since it works better in VO than in most other screenreaders I've used. Doubtless my confusion. Joel On 4/7/2011 7:35 AM, Jürgen Fleger wrote: Hi William, thanks for your responds. I don't think that it's very likely that VO will recognize tables in iWorks 11.

Re: Two really annoying problems with Skype version 5.0
Hi. I installed the new version of Skype two or three days ago and must say that's so much better than the old version of Skype. I did leave someone a message the other day and thought I might be able to press the tab key to end the call, but I did VO right arrow as the tab didn't work and found a Skype menu button. I pressed that button as the splitter and the percentage didn't make sense. When pressing the menu button, I VO down arrow and found the end call button. There was a hold call button there too. I'm glad these questions came up as I was going to ask the same question about ending calls if I'd not found that menu button. Thanks for the replies as all have been helpful. Kawal.

RE: accessible install of snow leopard in VMWare Player
Good point. Perhaps I would need to use the OSX86 mod cd, which includes legacy colonel. I'm holding off on doing that for now, since I haven't really seen instructions of installing snow leopard alongside an existing windows installation using the OSX86 mod cd and the snow leopard retail dvd. -Original Message- From: macvisionaries@googlegroups.com [mailto:macvisionaries@googlegroups.com] On Behalf Of Ben Mustill-Rose Sent: Friday, April 08, 2011 12:47 AM To: macvisionaries@googlegroups.com Subject: Re: accessible install of snow leopard in VMWare Player Standard retail snowy won't though because it won't support sandybridge.

Re: VO and tables in Lion
Hi Joel, sorry for confusing you. That might be because of my lack of english. Imagine a normal bill for example. There you have normal text of course. But usually there is also a table with columns and rows in what you find for example Name of Article, Prize, Tax and so forth. Isn't that just called a table in english? I'm not sure. The direct translation is table. I hope I could clarify what I ment and you are going to write an e-mail to accessibil...@apple.com to tell them that this is not acceptable for us users. Thanks Jürgen Am 07.04.2011 um 17:32 schrieb Joel Zimba: Hi, can you clarify just what you mean about text documents and tables?As I see it, there are no tables in text documents. there are elements of text with elements of white space between. Are you talking about some sort of smart column recognition as in OCR programs? No Screenreader does that, and I'm not entirely sure it should. If, however, you mean properly rendering table markup as in xml/html ... and other file formats, then it is definitely a step backward for this feature to not be implemented in 10.7 since it works better in VO than in most other screenreaders I've used. Doubtless my confusion. Joel On 4/7/2011 7:35 AM, Jürgen Fleger wrote: Hi William, thanks for your responds. I don't think that it's very likely that VO will recognize tables in iWorks 11.

All the best Jürgen Am 07.04.2011 um 08:47 schrieb William Windels: Hello Jürgen, Thanx for this announcement. I'll report this for shore because this seems simply unacceptable in 2011. I hope a lot of others will do so. But also a litle remark: It isn't perhaps macosx that needs this feature but the particular programs like textedit and pages. I mean, perhaps they will add this functionality in iworks 11, (the next major version). So, for all, pls , report what you think about it to accessibility. Best regards, William Op 6-apr-2011, om 22:40 heeft Jürgen Fleger het volgende geschreven: Hi All, a friend told me VO still doesn't work with tables in text documents in Lion beta 2 what came out these days. As you all surely know tables in text documents are a huge issue working with VoiceOver. I think this is awful and unworthy to VoiceOver. VO is really a great screen reader but it seems not to be tolerable in 2011 that a screen reader doesn't work with tables. So I'll ask all of you to write an e-mail to accessibil...@apple.com to show that a lot of people are waiting for the ability of VO to recognize tables in text documents. In lots of discussions people told me What? VoiceOver doesn't recognize tables in text documents? So VO might not be a serious screen reader. But that's not true, as we all know. And so my hope is when enough people write an e-mail to Apple and ask for that functionallity, Apple might see that it is really important to us.

RE: accessible install of snow leopard in VMWare Player
After doing some research, the latest snow leopard update does have support for sandybridge processors and the intel HD graphics 3000 chips. There are several methods of installing snow leopard alongside windows 7, but I'm not sure if despite the fact that I am using the retail dvd, whether I will be able to get sound during the snow leopard install. The OSX86 ModCD 0.3.1 looks to be my only option of install snow leopard as I don't want to have to reformat my hard drive to convert my partition table to use the GPT scheme. -Original Message- From: macvisionaries@googlegroups.com [mailto:macvisionaries@googlegroups.com] On Behalf Of Ashley Cox Sent: Friday, April 08, 2011 12:11 AM To: macvisionaries@googlegroups.com Subject: Re: accessible install of snow leopard in VMWare Player it will run on that machine. jestures won't though. ash On 07/04/2011 08:44, Dickson Tan wrote: Hi Hmm seems that an accessible install of snow leopard under VMWare isn't a viable way for me to try out snow leopard and voice over.

Re: accessible install of snow leopard in VMWare Player
As you said, the latest update to snow leopard does support sandybridge, but since that won't be the same version that your DVD has, you still have to find a way of installing it. At the end of the day, if snow leopard doesn't have the correct audio drivers by default, you won't get speech in install. I know theres some curnel hack for people that want to run it on AMD CPU's, but the DVD's that incorporate it ahhem aren't exactly retail. I sware I've scene people add leopard at least to existing os installs so snow leopard should be possible. If I remember correctly, gparted can do stuff to the partitioning so perhaps that might be worth a look? On 07/04/2011, Dickson Tan dickson.j...@gmail.com wrote: Good point. Perhaps I would need to use the OSX86 mod cd, which includes legacy colonel.

Re: Help with Safari locking up constantly please
I hate that too. The only way I've found to work this is before I click on the link such as the see more stories I switch to dom, then click the link. Then I VO arrow to the right a few times or so so that I know I am in the newly expanded info. Then I switch back over to groups. If I don't follow this exactly I'm back at the top of the screen or something weird. I prefer groups but if someone is using DOM then I don't think they're having any difficulties with the expanding pages. I still feel this expanding is very unstable though and causes all kinds of problems for me.

Re: Eye-Pal
Hi Chris: I just spent a good portion of my morning trying to get Vuescan to work for me. It is capable of scanning, and is supposed to be easy to use. However, this is my third time spending hours with it, and getting very poor results. I scanned a page, but could not set where it saved to, nor could I preview what I'd scanned.Also, it took at least 25 seconds to scan and recognize a page. I'd love my $$ back, but others have had better luck with this app. There's also Abbyy Fine Reader. Abut $100 us, which I'm told works well. But, it's very choosy which scanners it will accept. So, I'd have to say the offerings for scanning software for the mac could use some sprucing up, for sure. I actually committed the sacrelig of booting my Dell to use openbook. (which crashes about every 40 pages or so. What a great day!

will be starting my first mac class
Hi List, If the guy at the Apple store in my area gets back to me this evening; I will be starting my first Mac with voice over classes. I will have one-on-one instruction and am really looking forward to it. Also my niece's birthday is coming up. She'll be receiving an I-Pod touch. So Aunt Sarah is going to purchase an I-tunes gift card for her. I never had the kind of technology that is around today for music at her age. She'll be nine years old. I guess times are changing aren't they? *smile* Sarah -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups MacVisionaries group.

Re: looking for an external hard drive compatable for both mac and pc
Have any of you used xfat as a formatting option? I'm in the same boat as it were, and according to my research, xfat works as fat32 does, but sans the file-size limitations. I don't yet have a Mac to try this on, but thought I'd pass the info along just the same.

Re: Turn pages Stanza or Kobo
Hi Jim, On Apr 5, 2011, at 03:05, James Nuttall wrote: Is there any was to turn pages or mark your spot so Stanza or Kobo will start reading where you left off? Sent from Jim's iPod Touch If you're trying to mark pages in Stanza and Kobo, I assume that you have these ebook reader apps successfully configured. If not, I'll describe the configuration for Kobo with numbered instructions in the next paragraph. (I'll cc this to the macvisionaries list, since this is a long post that is more easily found in the secondary Mail Archive, which is not available for the viphone list.) Two different answers, one for each eReader: you can turn pages, mark your spot with a bookmark, navigate by Chapters using the Table of Contents of a Book and run a Find Icon search to navigate to a page which matches your search in Stanza. In Kobo, if you have set up your book to use a Page Transition Style of Scrolling in the Settings menu, you can navigate to different pages within a chapter with a three finger flick up or down to scroll forwards of backwards, and if you exit the current book by double tapping the center of the screen to bring up page controls, and then double tap the Library button in the top left corner of the screen to return to your Library, a bookmark will be placed at your current page location. Both these apps read through continuously by chapters. At the end or beginning of each chapter with Kobo, provided you use the Scrolling page transition style, there will be link images that let you navigate to the next or previous chapter. Double tapping the link images at the top right and bottom right of the page advance you to the start of the next chapter. Double tapping the link images at the top left and bottom left of the page take you to somewhere in the middle of the last page of the previous chapter. You can also navigate using a table of contents, which is accessed with an Icon tock button (pronounced this way -- actually the last word is TOC, the acronym for Table of Contents) that shows up when you double tap the center of the page to bring up page controls. (If you're on the first or last page of a chapter, make sure that focus is not on one of the link-images before you double tap -- touch the center of the screen first). Then you can access this Icon tock button either by flicking left twice from the first control on the page (the Library button in the top left corner of the screen) or flicking left from or touching the button immediately to the left of the Icon Gear button in the top right corner of the screen. (I haven't updated to the latest OS yet, so I usually do a four finger flick up to get to the first element of the screen -- this is now a four finger tap on the top half of the screen -- and then flick right twice, and double tap.) If you haven't set up Scrolling mode which is necessary for accessible Kobo ebook navigation, here's the way to do it: 1) If you're reading a book, double tap the center of the screen to bring up page controls 2) Touch the Icon Gear button in the top right corner of the screen and double tap. (You can flick right to it from the Library button at the top left corner, but you should be able to locate this by touch, just below the Battery Power announcement on the status bar at the top right of the screen). 3) Double tap the Icon Gear button in the top right corner of the screen to bring up the other configuration icons in the bottom half of the screen. 4) Move your finger down along the right side of the screen from the Icon Gear button in the top right corner of the screen. As you approach the bottom of the screen you should hear increase brightness, button, and then Toggle Night Reading Mode, button at the bottom right corner of the screen. 5) Double tap the Toggle Night Reading Mode, button in the bottom right corner of the screen. Note: do not try to flick to this position. There are problems both with the screen updating correctly, and the fact that this button is now one of three buttons that are all labeled as Toggle Night Reading Mode. This introduced labeling error arises from a sloppy code update and has persisted as an unfixed problem for over 6 months! The button actually gives you access to settings for page presentation style, page transition style, font type, and text alignment, and is the only way that you can access the Page Transition Style category to set this to Scrolling mode -- which is what you need to navigate books in the Kobo app accessibly. There is no other way to get to these settings except by using the incorrectly labeled button. You cannot set this in the main Settings menu of the iPod Touch for the Kobo app, for example. 6) Flick down to the Scrolling button under the second category of Page Transition Style to select this by double tapping. 7) Double tap the Back button in the top left corner of the screen to return to the book page. 8)

Re: looking for an external hard drive compatable for both mac and pc
No, you can do this in windows by connecting it and opening the context menu in the computer window, choose format and choose fat32 for the format type. You can do this on a mac using the disk utility, although it calls it erasing the drive instead of formatting. On Apr 7, 2011, at 7:04 PM, Sarah May wrote: Hi Mike, Thanks for the information.

Tables in Safari Question

Makeup would be row 2, column 1, dogfood row 3, column 1. The other columns would have titles like daily, once a week, once a month, never. Each row in these columns would have check boxes or radio buttons, and you check the box corosponding to each product. With Jaws, I'd press alt control right arrow, and alt control up and down to navigate by columns and rows. I could check the appropriat check boxes. I'm having problems on the Mac.

VO and Text in Stanza
Hi, I am using Stanza ebook reader to read my epub books on my Macbook. However, there seems to be a problem with the way Voiceover pronounces words. It sounds as if it is pronouncing either all uppercase letters or spaced characters. Consequently, the flow of wisdom is disturbed or lose the sense of it. What's surprising though is that when I open, say a PDF file in Preview or any other PDF viewer, the text is pronounced well. I end up reading PDF and other formats in alternate viewers, but as for Epub, I have no option. My question is that is there any setting in Stanza which can help not to alter text case or fonts or whatever? I want it to behave like any other viewer by trying to apply any extra styles. BTW, what Epub readers are you using on the desktop? as for the iPhone, I use the iBook as I find it consistent and super.

Re: Tables in Safari Question
Dear Sara, I have encountered these tables taking customer surveys for Chase's online banking system. It is cumbersome. What I have found helpful is the FIND NEXT CONTROL command vo-command-j. this takes me to all the check boxes one at a time. The other command is vo-F3. this command describes the item in the voice over cursor. In this case whether or not the check box is checked or not. I hope this helps.

Hi Sarah: I just completed a year of one on one instruction. It's an awesome way to learn.

Re: will be starting my first mac class
Cheree Heppe here: Despite the fact that I am learning a ton by reading on the lists, this is exactly what I ought to do. I haven't migrated over completely to the Apple platform, but, as things stand, it's only a matter of time. Let us know how the classes proceed. I have also found that the Apple reps are very open to helping us, even the ones who barely know how to use VO. It does say something about how Apple thinks and how it expects its reps to think. Or maybe I mean that it says a lot about the calober of the reps, etc. Regards, Cheree Heppe Sent from my iPhone On 07/04/2011, at 17:18, Christopher Peppel chris.a.pep...@gmail.com wrote: Hi Sara, I hope you enjoy your Mac class.

Hi Sarai, When I've encountered these sorts of tables, I've often had to Interact With the specific cell to activate the radio button. Toyota sends me surveys occasionally and they work in the manner you're speaking of. Just navigating across the cells does not tell you that there is a radio button or checkbox, but Interacting With it usually does the trick. HTH. Later...

RE: will be starting my first mac class
Hi Carolyn, I hope my experience with the one-to-one training will be positive like yours. I like it if the person I work with and myself will be able to exchange ideas Like what happened with yours. It seems like Apple really wants to , or is trying to, make their products ver accessible to the blind and visually impaired community. I think it's awesome that they have all the instructors or reps be familiar with voice over and hopefully they are familiar with other software that helps the deaf hard of hearing community and those with other disabilities.

RE: will be starting my first mac class
Hi Chris, I'm located in Minneapolis, Minnesota. I am very surprised and excited about how willing the people at my Apple store are willing to work with me and how friendly and accommodating they seem to be. This past December I went into the Apple store near my home and looked at voice over on the Macbook. The sales person I worked with, who worked with me for two hours and I made an appointment to come in, was so helpful and friendly. I learned a lot in those two hours. If it wasn't for the cost I would have purchased a Macbook right there and then. Luckily, my family purchased one for me a little over a month ago for my birthday.

RE: will be starting my first mac class
Hi Zack, It should be interesting and fun. I had some formal training from assistive technology people from my State Services for the Blind when I started using jaws years ago. I didn't like their style of teaching because a lot of them would talk or teach so technical. I did a lot better once I had someone who wasn't formally trained in assistive technology, or IT, and used the software on a daily basis. They were blind themselves and so were able to show and explain how to use the software to me on a lay person's level. You know what I mean? So it will be interesting to see what this trainer's style of teaching is like.

I've never had formal training from any tech company, so it'll be interesting to get your perspective as you go through the process. I can't wait. Welcome to the Mac. Best, Zack.

I am very surprised and excited about how willing the people at my Apple store are willing to work with me and how friendly and accommodating they seem to be. This past December I went into the Apple store near my home and looked at voice over on the Macbook. The sales person I worked with, who worked with me for two hours and I made an appointment to come in, was so helpful and friendly. I learned a lot in those two hours. If it wasn't for the cost I would have purchased a Macbook right there and then. Luckily, my family purchased one for me a little over a month ago for my birthday. I hope my first session will go well tomorrow and I'll tell everyone how it went.

Apple TV in the UK Voice Over
All, Just a quick note, and sorry, I suspect its been covered before, but am having trouble finding the basics to what I need to know online. Does Apple TV offer Voice Over support, and if so in what manner, i.e. can you control Apple TV using just a blue tooth Apple keyboard with Voice Over being physically utilised by the product itself, or is the product purely controlled from something like your iPhone etc, which means that Voice Over is produced by that device enabling you to control it...? If this is the case, can the Apple TV initially be setup and configured for the first time by a blind user? specifically a UK question, what services and TV options can I get out of an Apple TV here? One assumes you can physically browse the internet using Apple TV? does anyone know if you can connect Apple TV to, for example; an NAS network attached storage unit which stores an iTunes library, or is it necessary to have a Mac computer always on so that Apple TV can stream using AirPlay etc... many thanks for any advice.

RE: will be starting my first mac class
Hi Cheree, I will tell you how my first session goes after tomorrow. I'm very lucky that my family paid for a year's worth of this training. If it wasn't for that I would be learning as I go and from what I would have read from the list as well. I don't know how expensive the training is, because I didn't have to pay for it. If it's kind of expensive I can see why we'd have to learn as we go and from others. Yes, so far the reps that I have dealt with through Apple have been so nice and friendly. It's a breath of fresh air because other tech support people I have dealt with in the past from other companies, they will remain nameless, haven't been so. Thanks for the good luck and I hope to learn a lot tomorrow.

I haven't migrated over completely to the Apple platform, but, as things stand, it's only a matter of time. Let us know how the classes proceed. I have also found that the Apple reps are very open to helping us, even the ones who barely know how to use VO. It does say something about how Apple thinks and how it expects its reps to think. Or maybe I mean that it says a lot about the calober of the reps, etc. Regards, Cheree Heppe Sent from my iPhone On 07/04/2011, at 17:18, Christopher Peppel chris.a.pep...@gmail.com wrote: Hi Sara, I hope you enjoy your Mac class.
