reading emails with braille
Hi everyone, I am exploring the new mail for the first time. I am a heavy braille user and while the message table and conversations itself work well with braille when I hit enter on a message while it is read by speech I can't seem to read it with the braille display. Is it still possible to read incoming mail messages with the braille display?

Re: Help excepting authorization requests in iChat
Hello. Go to the window menu and cursor down until you get to the authorisation request and press enter.

Re: Scanners and OCR
Hi all, I'm wondering in this regard, which scanner has proven to be a good device with accessible and non intrucive drivers. If you listers own a scanner, and you can work well with things like abbey fine reader, with image capture and so on, without being disturbed by an inaccessible driver window popping up while you work in those programs, then please share the brand and type of scanner with me and others. I now have an old cannon lide 25 scanner, but its latest drivers and add-on software, the older ones I have never seen, are not really accessible. I would like to buy a usb powered one, but if another choice is better, of course I'm also open to that. Any advice is much appreciated.

This makes me concerned that it won't work correctly. Plus I need it to come up talking. So, I have two machines available at the moment. I only on ant one but I can't get either one to work correctly. I really appreciate the tips and information. Even just knowing someone else has Lyon working with VM and JAWS is helpful.

Re: Scanners and OCR
Hi Paul. In my opinion abbyy fine reader express can be used. But I have for many years been using fine reader professional in windows. Compared to that product the express edition is a little frustrating. But of course you can use the program, with ok results. It depends on what your are scanning. I am scanning really many books. I am not satisfied with the results i get with fine reader express. But of course the fine reader express is a good price. I hope in the future that we will really get a scanning program, that really works great. Best regards Annie.

Re: Scanners and OCR
Hello Paul, I have a Cannon Lide 110 USB-powered portable scanner which you should be able to find for around €70. I use it with VueScan to get the images, which are then handed to ABBYY FineReader Express. I scan books this way because I find it convenient to scan a whole book into one file, and then have FineReader perform the OCR. I use VueScan to create a TIFF file containing all the images of double pages, and I have all TIFF files set to open with ABBYY FineReader by default. The results I get depend very much on how well I flatten out the book for scanning.

If you listers own a scanner, and you can work well with things like abbey fine reader, with image capture and so on, without being disturbed by an inaccessible driver window popping up while you work in those programs, then please share the brand and type of scanner with me and others. I now have an old cannon lide 25 scanner, but its latest drivers and add-on software, the older ones I have never seen, are not really accessible.

Re: Does VM Fusion work with JAWS?
Hi Eric, Last week, a friend of mine bumped into someone who had the same problem as you seem to experience, in that settings you make in jaws, don't hold from shutdown to next run of jaws. And it is now resolved. We, that is my friend and his friend, and I, have all been looking into the problem. We have checked the permissions on the mac hd volume. We have checked inside windows, to see if somewhere in documents and settings, where jaws stores its configuration data, a rights problem was sitting. Why, would jaws, on other systems, retain its settings, while on the vm it would not. We were starting to think that this was a fusion problem. Even one of the Belgian freedom scientific workers helped debugging the problem one entire afternoon, but no luck. Until my friend's friend, came up with the solution, found by accident. What you need to do, and this as worked for 2 people already that I know of, is that you reset jaws to its factory default, thereby destroying all your user settings. But, when you reconfigure jaws afterwards, you may find that from then on, jaws will remember its settings. Albeit spelling, autostart, and whatever. Please try that and report back on it, because it seems that this is a nasty jaws bug, but so difficult to trace. To be clear, my friend's friend encountered this same problem on a native windows pc. He passed it on, and now it works for my friend as well. Hth, Paul. On Sep 7, 2011, at 12:30 PM, Eric Caron wrote: Hi Kawal and Paul, thanks for this added info.

Re: Does VM Fusion work with JAWS?
I have it working in my VM flawlessly. The trick is to have it start at start up, and check the box that says always start up for this user.

Re: Scanners and OCR
Hi Paul. Well I scan two pages at a time on my old epson gt15000. I also use vuescan for the scanning, because it is rather difficult in fine reader express. I experience that fine reader express has its lacks in e.g. if you scan double pages, sometimes it works, but fine reader express will not recognize them as 2 pages, to me it is a problem, because I like that there are a new page when there are a new page in the text. And then I feel columns that's not always correct. The OCR is ok, but there are a little more words that can not be read than in the professional version, but again it is also another price.

Re: downloading running scripts
Hi, Here's what you do. Take the script and copy it to Mac HD/library/scripts. The next thing you will want to do is set up a keyboard command to activate the script. Open VO utilities with VO F8 and go to commanders. Select keyboard commander. Now select the add button. You will be placed in an edit field where you type in the letter or number you wish to use to activate the script. press VO right arrow once and you will be on a pop up menu press VO spacebar to open it. arrow down to custom and select and then go to scripts. A file browser will open up and you just arrow to the script you want and press enter. Now pressing option plus the letter or number you chose will activate the script.

Re: downloading running scripts
Hi, When you download it it should be in your downloads folder. From the finder, you can get to your downloads folder by pressing command option L. The file might be compressed into a zip file or something so you will have to just open this and copy the actual script with command C and paste in the location I noted before with command V.

Recommended .aiff settings
Hi all, I know to add custom sounds to Mac, they need to be in .aiff format. What is the recommended settings for the sound? The encoder options I chose were, sampler 16, rate 1600. It made the file a farely small size, 300k for one of them, and 500k for the other. Does this sound pretty good to y'all?

Re: Does VM Fusion work with JAWS?
Hi Kawal, Freedom Scientific would not be happy to hear this but at least three of the tech reps I talked to were very supportive of my Mac use. Two years ago I was uncertain about buying a mac and mentioned that when working on a unrelated JAWS problem. The Rep told me to get the Mac and I would love it. He was correct! The other day I had another issue and before I knew it the rep was asking me questions as she said she loved her iPhone and was considering getting a Mac. Most recently I called for help with my work PC and Jaws. I mentioned my problem with Jaws not starting in my VM and told him I didn't expect him to answer that question as it was not supported. In fact, he gave me a good idea to try and seemed familiar with the Mac. The Mac seems to, in my experience, be becoming popular with at least some of these reps. It really was one of these reps that was the final straw resulting in my purchase of my Mac. I've never looked back! In all fairness I was dealing with real JAWS issues when I called, but in all these cases the reps were supportive and either all ready knowledgeable about the Mac or curious about them. Even though I don't have all the bugs worked out of my VM yet I am convinced that the over all experience with Windows on my Mac will be better then my experience on a native PC.

Re: downloading running scripts
Hi, :) No, I'm not sure I'm looking in the right spot at all. Where is my hd library? I've found the library and scripts folders in my home folder, and this is where I put my script. However, when I go to set up a keyboard commander for it, I can't find it. The script shows up under the script menu. Looks like I need a bit more help.

Re: Does VM Fusion work with JAWS?
I rang up Freedom Scientific last year as I wanted a reset of my activation. I told them that I was running Jaws on my Mac under Fusion and as soon as the representative heard that he said he would not support me by giving me a new activation unless I wanted it for a native windows PC. This year I went to Site Village (an exhibition for all access Technology) and Eric Damerie was there and I told him that I was running Jaws on a Mac and he simply did not approve.

This has brought up library questions
Ok, so I've overcome the downloading and installing my simple battery script, however this has now brought up library questions for me. Do I always want to put items in the hd library instead of the home library? For example, I plan on adding custom system sounds. Would I put these inside the sounds folder of the hd library, not the home library? Why are there two? A bit confusing. :) Thank you, Traci -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups MacVisionaries group.

Re: -- SPAM --Re: Does VM Fusion work with JAWS?
Hi Eric, I am new in the list and I see you got lots of tips already. But for me, I just had to delete all my virtual machines, reinstall from scratch and configured my setting only after I had the full license of jaws running. And insure my fusion had the vmware tools installed and running. I also have full sharing setting between both systems. Every thing works well now. But I also made a shortcut to start jaws in case something goes wrong. My only big trouble is the keyboard, because a lot of my jaws short cuts conflicts with some of my mac ones. I hardly use jaws any more though. It was a freedom support person who helped me decided to finally switch to a MAC, but unfortunately every time I have called after, they always tell me jaws does not work in the virtual machine, since first I had parallels and I had lots of issues until I switch to fusion. It does work well for the most part. Hope this can be of help Cheers, Rachel On Sep 7, 2011, at 7:06 PM, David McLean wrote: I've had FS give me more activations to run VMWare.

Re: Save as on Pages
Hi Francisco, when you are doing a save as navigate side ways until you find a check box called save as just check it and the next tab will give you the list of what you want to save as, like .rtf or txt or .doc. If you set up to set as .doc by default, when you check the box automatically will save as a doc format. Hope this helps. Rachel.

Re: -- SPAM --Re: Does VM Fusion work with JAWS?
Hi Rachel, This support list is really a big part of why I love using my Mac. I have become a much more productive user because of the help of many people here. I've even made some great off list connections. Your tips here are a good addition to what people have offered. I've saved many of these messages in a special VM mail box. I think I will follow your example and eventually start over with a new installation. I'm going to get a 64 bit version of Windows 7 and see if I notice a difference in performance. Your comment about short cuts is helpful. I've saved a a description from Paul on how to use VM Fusion to change keys but I must admit it seemed like a real challenge. VM Fusion seems like it should be so easy but it is pretty complicated. I suspect these threads will be helpful to many listers. By the way Parallels is known for not being accessible to blind users.

Hello everyone. I just switched over to Mac Mail in preparation to update to Lion. By default the email is sorted with the oldest email at the top. I want it sorted so that the newest items are on top. I checked the help which told me to click on the header. Although Voiceover reads the headings, I can't get to them to click them. I looked in the view menu. I can decide what column to sort on but don't know how to change the sort order.

Re: -- SPAM --Re: Does VM Fusion work with JAWS?
Eric, thanks for the welcome! I have been using Mac for a while and very much discovering things on my own. I used to follow a list called I can work this thing when I bought my first mac. But I sold it 3 months after I bought since I could not get to far. Last year in my last job mac was the only computers around, so I had to learn! :) I am really glad I found this list and it is so active and the people really nice. About changing keys: I am not sure what Paul said, since I did not find the post. But I just used sharp keys a small software for windows that let you map your key board as you like and it is pretty easy and straightforward. I was afradi it was not going to work with windows 7 since it is an old program, but it works just fine. Installit on your windows side and then just open and you will have 2 areas one for the key you have and what you want that key to be. For example my right option key is my incert key in my windows side. Let me know if you want to know more about, I'll make a email just for that. With this program I also created my application key that helps me to right click on things when I am in windows. Therefore creating a shortcut to open jaws was very easy, just go to your programs, find jaws, right click or press the application key then click on properties and make your shortcut to open jaws.

But Eric Caron is correct that Amadeus Pro or its Lite version has a powerful batch processor that will also handle many functions besides simple conversions (e.g., fades, adding/trimming silence, conversion of sound quality, normalization, and lots more). This shareware audio editing program had a recent major upgrade, so the price is now $60. If you want to try the trial version, just Google the name together with macupdate, which will give you the link to the program and the web site. (It's also sold on the Mac App Store, but trial downloads are not supported in the App Store). The Blind Cool Tech podcast on batch processing with Amadeus Pro is Dane's podcast from two years earlier. HTH.

You can do single or batch conversions. There is even a tutorial on Blindcool tech on doing large numbers of conversions with Amadeus Pro. eRic Caron On Aug 30, 2011, at 1:08 AM, Paul Henrichsen wrote: Hi. I'm looking for an accessible audio converter. I need to convert ogg files into mp3 files. I have tunesify, but I find it less than intuitive to use. For some reason, even though I have selected the folder with its subfolders, it doesn't seem to want to convert the ogg files. I also can't tell whether it will convert the contents of subfolders in the original folder. Anything better out there? I'm use to using gold wave or the audio stripper from NCH software. However, I don't like the heavy-handedness of NCH when it comes to reinstalling their software or putting it on more than one machine.

Re: Looking for a good task reminder program
The mail app has a to do list? Interesting. I'm particularly looking for programs that can run on the mac and are like the task manager in outlook I guess that's part of their calendaring system along with the mail part of outlook.

multilingual use
Hello every one, but more in specific multiple language users. I am struggling a lot to figure out how to have other languages added to my mac. Do I just by a voice and install? Where do I buy that voice? Anyone using VisioVoice? I tried, but I did not see how it works and what advantages is there to it. Also, how to change the languages in the fly. Sometimes I read one document with more than one language on it and it is quite complicated having to go to preferences to change it. Anyone using languages such as Chinese, or arabic that requires different character typing? Would appreciate any information you can give me and clarifications of how to go about installing voices. ah also, I have been using my touch for different languages, but is also complicated to switch from one language to another, is there a way to do it on the fly? Thank you in advance for any help! Rachel -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups MacVisionaries group.

Re: Looking for a good task reminder program
Not sure if it is the same. But it does. command option y I believe opens a new to do. then just enter the info and it goes to your calendar in ICal. You cannot get to fancy with it, but when I used it it worked ok. I am using more and more though my google calendar and I sink my Iphone calendar with my google one so no matter, when I enter the info, it is always available in both sides. Sorry I could not be more helpful. Rachel On Sep 7, 2011, at 11:55 PM, Paul Henrichsen wrote: The mail app has a to do list? Interesting.
