Re: Dropbox
Hi, yes. You need to navigate to the status menu, and with your mouse cursor over the dropbox icon, do an option click with your trackpad or a mouse. Keep in mind trackpad commander needs to be turned off. When you do this, the dropbox menu will open with the option to pause syncing. hth Ricardo Walker rica...@appletothecore.info Twitter:@apple2thecore www.appletothecore.info On Jun 28, 2013, at 1:10 AM, Garth Humphreys ghu...@gmail.com wrote: Hi all Under the latest version of Dropbox for the Mac, is there a way of pausing syncing?

Re: Mbraille new Braille keyboard iPhone app

Re: i phone users.
Hi guys When I started out thinking about an accessible phone, I never dreamed that I would get a device that would have a GPS like BlindSquare on it and that I could get a restaurant menu on it with a braille display. I never dreamed of a program where I could take pictures of an item in my refrigerator or a can in my cabinet and find out what the thing was. When people talked about the camera, I remember thinking Well, who cares! I remember Johnathan you doing a podcast or some kind of presentation for Freedom Scientific talking about braille displays with an iPhone and I was sitting there thinking about what a stupid idea this was to have a braille display hooked up to a phone of all things. I remember saying to myself: Why would anybody want music, email, etc. on a phone of all things? Of course, guess what I have on my iPhone these days! I just plain flat didn't get it what things I could do with an iPhone. I kept thinking of it as a phone instead of a little bitty computer with the ability to make phone calls. I have a blind friend who has decided she will an iPhone eventually, but she doesn't get yet either. She keeps saying to me: Well, I can do all that right now. I guess she won't get it either until she gets one herself. She would love BlindSquare, but she doesn't know it yet.

Re: i phone users.
I have a vague recollection of Jobs talking about how they don't do user testing because users don't know what they want until [Apple] shows it to them. That must be a difficult space to navigate as you're pretty much guessing what a user might want if they knew it existed. It also means this sort of leap for consumers that's hard to explain to people outside the 'club'. If you just did checklists and features you might (and people often do) that there is no difference between a Mac or an iPhone and their contemporaries in the market, but there is something different that is just subtle. Like trying to explain how something good tastes to somebody who has never tried it. Ahh, turned these up from Job's biography with some googling: At a 1982 planning retreat, someone on the Mac team, thought they should do some market research to see what customers wanted. 'No,' [Jobs] replied, 'because customers don't know what they want until we've shown them.' On the day he unveiled the Macintosh, a reporter from Popular Science asked Jobs what type of market research he had done. Jobs responded by scoffing, 'Did Alexander Graham Bell do any market research before he invented the phone?' Jobs: Some people say, 'Give customers what they want.' But that's not my approach. Our job is to figure out what they're going to want before they do. I think Henry Ford once said, 'If I'd asked customers what they wanted, they would have told me, A faster horse!' People don't know what they want until you show it to them. That's why I never rely on market research. Our task is to read things that are not yet on the page.

I am trying to install Jaws 14 under a virtual machine in Vmware Fusion 5 and everythhing seems to go quite smoothly but upon restarting Jaws after installation i keep getting an error message which i now very roughly will translate since it's in swedish: Freedom Scientific mirror driver not installed correctly. Restart your computer if you haven't done so already if that doesn't solve the problem try reparing the installation to install the broken driver. Run the installation package with the command line switch /typerepair. Only problem is i have repaired and repaired, i have even uninstalled and reinstalled and i keep getting this same error message. What obvious thing am i missing? What am i doing wrong? Vmware tools is uninstalled as far as i know, the anti virus program i use is disengaged, so what am i doing wrong? Any and all help would be much appreciated as i need this setup urgently. I could use another screen reader and would gladly do so if it could do what i have in mind which it can't Thanks for any and all help. /Krister -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups MacVisionaries group.

I also cannot find anywhere in the settings to get Alex to stop reading roman numerals, particularly the letter C or D when it is all alone on a website, Alex will say 300 or 500 and it took me forever to figure out that it was actually the letter C or D. Thanks for any help, I wasn't sure if I should purchase a new voice or something. I don't know. I really don't want to do that. I just want Alex fixed.

The dots are actually lined up as they appear in the Braille cell. Moreover, they fit on the iPhone screen much better that way and it allows you to hold the device at the same time as typing. If you had six fingers all in a line, how would you hold the device? You would have to put the device down somewhere and this is inconvenient when you're mobile, and being mobile is the main point of an iPhone. I can see how having the dots all in a row Perkins style would make sense on an iPad, but not an iPhone. I timed myself when I first got BrailleTouch before I had much practice and I was still more than twice as fast as I am using Flexy or the regular touch typing touch screen keyboard.

Re: Anyway to turn Password off In iPhone App Store
Thanks for this bit of info, but I don't seem to have anything stuck in a download cue. I do have apps that I haven't updated yet, but that is it. So strange. On Jun 27, 2013, at 9:43 PM, Alex Hall mehg...@gmail.com wrote: A quick search indicates that this problem usually happens when content (music, books, an app update, or something else from the Apple servers) fails to download. For instance, you might have an app that was updating but never finished and is now stuck, or a media file that got interrupted. If you find an app that says waiting after it, try double tapping to pause the download, then again to reactivate it. If that fails, google has other ways of fixing stuck app downloads. If it is media, just open the relevant app (like iTunes or Music) and see if you can force the download to continue or restart.

Re: i phone users.
Well the point is these days, does Tim Cook know what we want, he has a funny voice but I wonder if he has vision as Steve Jobs did. On 28 Jun 2013, at 15:34, Chris Blouch cblo...@aol.com wrote: I have a vague recollection of Jobs talking about how they don't do user testing because users don't know what they want until [Apple] shows it to them. That must be a difficult space to navigate as you're pretty much guessing what a user might want if they knew it existed. It also means this sort of leap for consumers that's hard to explain to people outside the 'club'. If you just did checklists and features you might (and people often do) that there is no difference between a Mac or an iPhone and their contemporaries in the market, but there is something different that is just subtle. Like trying to explain how something good tastes to somebody who has never tried it. Ahh, turned these up from Job's biography with some googling: At a 1982 planning retreat, someone on the Mac team, thought they should do some market research to see what customers wanted. 'No,' [Jobs] replied, 'because customers don't know what they want until we've shown them.' On the day he unveiled the Macintosh, a reporter from Popular Science asked Jobs what type of market research he had done. Jobs responded by scoffing, 'Did Alexander Graham Bell do any market research before he invented the phone?' Jobs: Some people say, 'Give customers what they want.' But that's not my approach. Our job is to figure out what they're going to want before they do. I think Henry Ford once said, 'If I'd asked customers what they wanted, they would have told me, A faster horse!' People don't know what they want until you show it to them. That's why I never rely on market research. Our task is to read things that are not yet on the page.

Re: Installing Jaws in Windows 7 in a virtual machine 7 hours no luck

Hello you all! Thank you Eugenia for this nice posting where you describe so well the level of independence an iDevice can make possible. If Apple develops their products with great vision without interacting with end user too much, I develop BlindSquare together with end users, bit by bit bringing it to the level you could never get by traditional development style.

Re: i phone users.
Hi there I am still too new to Blind Square to start saying what I want as features. There are some other programs that I can mention, like TapTapSee, just to name one, that I love. I do have a question, however, that I intended to put on the list anyway. Has anybody had trouble closing Blind Square? I have had a weird problem that if I want to close the program, and I go to the app switcher, and press double tap and hold to edit applications, the iPhone wants to open the program instead of going to edit apps. The reason I want to close it is because if I have put in a destination, and the program thinks I'm not there, it keeps talking and won't stop. This is because, for instance, my house is at 1019, but the program thinks I'm at 1015, which, by the way, is better than some GPS programs I've used.

Re: rss readers out there after google reader demise
Feeddler has been updated to support Google Reader alternatives.

blind square on android
How about a version for android? That would be awesome, and you would not have to include a TTS engine with it since Android allows the built in tts to be used.

Anyone know of a good alarm clock?
I have found many alarm clocks for IOS that work quite well. What I am now seeking is a good alarm clock for the Mac that I can run under OSX. I don't really need anything fancy at all. I don't need to be able to set multiple alarms, although that would be nice to have as a bonus. I don't need a snooze function, nor any ability to play a particular file from my ITunes library. I just need something with a few built in sounds I can choose between. I don't need to necessarily set recurring alarms. I already have a count down timer, so please don't steer me down that path. What I need specifically is just a very very most low end bottom of the line alarm clock. Just something real down and dirty that will get the job done. No, Terminal users... I'm not gonna do this as a cron job in my crontab. I'm sorry but that's a pain in my butt, and though I know how to do it, really... for something this easy... why? I just want to set the sound, set when I want it to go off, toggle the alarm from the off setting to the on setting, have the clock go in my menu extras so it's out of the way and not running in my command tab order, and just be done with it. Does such an app exist that would be Voiceover friendly, obviously? Chris. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups MacVisionaries group.

Hello All: So I went to the app store for the mac for the first time thinking that I would download dropbox and see if I can figure it out. I did a search for it but all that the results showed appear to be some programs that work with drop box. I am thinking perhaps it must be downloaded from the drop box site rather than the app store? Is there anything I need to know before installing it? Many thanks, Jean -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups MacVisionaries group.

Re: i phone users.
Hello! This has nothing to do with if it detects if you are home or not, it is just that you have set it to run in background and it will until you stop it. In iOS 6 there is feature that will stop it automatically after a while anyway (you will hear it announced when it does) so it will not take battery more than 15 minutes or so. There might be limitations on which device models it does this, I think it needs at least 4S model. You can always stop it from App Switcher and it is the best way if you want to use all background features. Maybe someone on this list can help you how to do it with voiceover. There are other options too, you can find more info from here: http://blindsquare.com/faq/#why-does-it-keep-talking On Sat, Jun 29, 2013 at 2:32 AM, Eugenia Firth gigifi...@me.com wrote: Hi there I am still too new to Blind Square to start saying what I want as features. There are some other programs that I can mention, like TapTapSee, just to name one, that I love. I do have a question, however, that I intended to put on the list anyway. Has anybody had trouble closing Blind Square? I have had a weird problem that if I want to close the program, and I go to the app switcher, and press double tap and hold to edit applications, the iPhone wants to open the program instead of going to edit apps. The reason I want to close it is because if I have put in a destination, and the program thinks I'm not there, it keeps talking and won't stop. This is because, for instance, my house is at 1019, but the program thinks I'm at 1015, which, by the way, is better than some GPS programs I've used. So far, this is the only thing that I had trouble with. Maybe I'm doing something wrong. Regards, Gigi On Jun 28, 2013, at 4:23 PM, Ilkka Pirttimaa ilkka.pirtti...@gmail.com wrote: Hello you all!

Re: blind square on android
Hello! I think Android will be interesting platform in the future. I'm building BSq alone without any investors and I'm investing all my time to bring new features to iOS version. In first year I released 12 versions with more than 70 new features. So, Android version is on plans but it will not happen soon.

That would be awesome, and you would not have to include a TTS engine with it since Android allows the built in tts to be used. We need more developers to spend time on android the way they do on IOS, especially because more and more blind people are starting to use this platform On Jun 28, 2013, at 4:23 PM, Ilkka Pirttimaa ilkka.pirtti...@gmail.com wrote: Hello you all!
