Ah yes, that's another can of worms. I can use it with system speech from the 
edit menu, but Braille is now shot for me. It only navigates through one 
paragraph per chapter in Braille, but i can read the entire chapter with system 
speech.

 Hello again,
 
 I'm taking everything I suggested back.
 What fooled me was that I had three options: an iPhone, a home phone, and an 
 email.  Messages would allow me to select the iPhone an email, but not the 
 home phone.
 I can confirm that this bug exists after removing the iPhone number.  I 
 think that there are many work-arounds for this and it isn't worth losing 
 any sleep over.  What I find most bothersome is the fact that it is very 
 hard to nail down bugs with Apple software due to very strange behavior.
 I personally find the iBooks situation much more serious.

Re: Accessible and Automated OCR Workflow

Hello! Regarding the script you use, can it be changed to use, for example, 
ABBYY fine reader to OCR a document? Could that be posible of doing?
It sounds very interesting!

 Nick,
 
 Below I will paste a copy of the AppleScript that I use in a Hazel rule that 
 will open a pdf, check to see if it needs to be OCR'd, OCR it if necessary 
 and then move it to another folder to be sorted by other requirements.
 
 In PDFPen Pro you can set the preferences to OCR upon opening. I have 
 disabled this as I let my script handle it.
 
 Anyway here is the script and if you have any problems feel free to ask.

 HI list,
 
 I get tens if not hundreds of scanned documents at work which have not been 
 OCR-ed. I've been trialling a number of OCR programs recently. I've been 
 really impressed with ABBYY Fine Reader, which seems to produce much better 
 results than Prizmo or even Docuscan Plus. However, manually converting each 
 document takes far too much of my time.
 
 I've heard much in the mainstream media, particularly from the Mac Power 
 Users podcast, about automating the OCR process. They use PDFPen, Apple 
 Script and Hazel to automatically OCR things. However, I just tried to OCR a 
 document with PDFPen Pro and couldn't even do it manually. The OCR Document 
 button was greyed out, and forcing it with command-option keys didn't seem 
 to work.
 
 So, does anyone else have any ideas for how to automate the OCR process? 
 Ideally using ABBYY Fine Reader as that seems to be the most accurate engine 
 I've tested.
 
 Many thanks for any ideas.
 
 Cheers,
 Nic

According to VoiceOver help you can announce the llink you're on with 
vo-shift-u then copy the last phrase spoken to the clipboard with 
vo-shift-c. This may or may not directly answer your question but hope 
this helps anyway.

Hello,

I halfway agree.  But, before we go off banishing those who are stubborn and 
resistant to change, let's remember that blindness is not the only disability 
in play hear.  I know a few who depend on peripheral keyboards because they 
have motor difficulties.  To those people, this is probably a bigger deal to 
them than someone who has no such physical limitations.

Just my 2 cents.

 You can get access to iTunes Radio in Europe.  You just need an iTunes

 your mobile devices with it as you might inadvertently lock yourself out of

 You could probably access Pandora if you use a proxy server or a VPN.

 Unfortunately, for me at least, I learned that Slacker Radio is not

 purchased the Premium subscription and would have been very satisfied.  
 To my knowledge, iTunes Radio still isn't available over here and as I

 Any thoughts would be appreciated.

free software for solving capchas on mac

2014-03-14 Thread Jessica
hi,
Sometimes, I get those capchas that nobody likes to solve.
I want to know what, if any free software exists to help blind and visually 
impaired people like myself with this task.
I heard about Rumalla, but could not find it online. Does it work with 
voiceover? Does it cost?
If so, what do you folks use?

Fwd: OpenOffice/Seeking Beta Testers to Test accessibility

2014-03-14 Thread erik burggraaf
 MONDAY MAR 10, 2014
 Seeking Beta Testers for Apache OpenOffice 4.1
 We're looking for users interested in test driving our new Apache
 OpenOffice 4.1 Beta Release. The beta can be downloaded from our
 website (use the yellow box).
 We release Beta versions of OpenOffice to get early feedback from users.
 Beta versions may have more bugs than our final GA releases and may
 not be suitable for tasks which require the highest level of stability.
 Beta versions are recommended for experienced users who are willing to
 share their feedback with the OpenOffice project.
 The 4.1.0 Beta features:
 *Mac OS X version is now 64-bit and requires OS X version 10.7 or above.
 *Integrated iAccessible2 support, offering better integration with
 screen readers.
 *Annotations of text ranges in Writer.
 *In-place editing of text fields in Writer.
 *Interactive image crop feature for Impress and Draw.
 *Enhanced support for 3D charts.
 *New language translations: Bulgarian, Danish, Hindi, Norwegian Bokmål
 and Thai.
 *Many bug fixes and smaller improvements as detailed in the Release Notes.
 Bug reports can be entered in our Bugzilla database at:
 https://issues.apache.org/ooo/. Questions and other feedback, good or
 bad, can be sent to our users mailing list at us...@openoffice.apache.org.
 Thanks in advance to our Beta Testers!

 for this little thing. So now maybe my problem will solve yours. I'll let 
 you know.

Re: Apple Script saving .aiff file

2014-03-14 Thread Traci Duncan
Thank you,

I’m not actually inputing any text file; I’m writing something like this:
beep
delay 0.5
say “You have a new message.” Using “Will”

My goal is to have this be an audio file that I can use later.  On the last 
line would I type -o will.aiff

I’ve been reading documentation, but much to my annoyance, I’m still doing 
something wrong.

Thanks for the help,
Traci

 there are lots of other parameters to the say command which you can find by 
 doing a

Re: copying a url to the clipboard

2014-03-14 Thread Traci Duncan
I confess, I haven't been following this topic too closely, but I've recently 
come across an app for both Mac  iDevices called cloudClip manager.

This might be a perfect solution for someone that wants to copy URLs.  Whatever 
you copy to the clipboard, is available across all your devices.

Here is the Mac app store link:
https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/cloudclip-manager/id563362017?mt=12

The app lives in your menu extras toolbar.  I'm not sure how many clips it'll 
hold, but so far I've seen half dozen.

HTH,
Traci

 Hi Mike,
 
 You can get access to iTunes Radio in Europe.  You just need an iTunes

 your primary account but it is doable.
 
 You could probably access Pandora if you use a proxy server or a VPN.

 Based on some of the discussions about my query, I logged on to

 have a strong feeling that this applies to many, if not all, EU countries.  
 So that leaves Spotify unless, of course, they are subject to the same

 iTunes radio, or whatever they call it, isn't available over here, either.

 Hello Everyone,
 
 I had a very enjoyable conversation with the folks at Slacker Radio 
 yesterday and am really happy that the app is now accessible. 
 Unfortunately, for me at least, I learned that Slacker Radio is not 
 available here in Central Europe.  Had it been, then I would have 
 purchased the Premium subscription and would have been very satisfied.  
 To my knowledge, iTunes Radio still isn't available over here and as I 
 just wrote, nor is Slacker.  So I am wondering what music service 
 people over here are using that is both accessible and reasonably 
 priced.  I would do 100% of my listening on an iPhone.
 
 Any thoughts would be appreciated.
 
 Thank you very much,

 We release Beta versions of OpenOffice to get early feedback from users.
 Beta versions may have more bugs than our final GA releases and may
 not be suitable for tasks which require the highest level of stability.
 Beta versions are recommended for experienced users who are willing to
 share their feedback with the OpenOffice project.
 The 4.1.0 Beta features:
 *Mac OS X version is now 64-bit and requires OS X version 10.7 or above.
 *Integrated iAccessible2 support, offering better integration with
 screen readers.
 *Annotations of text ranges in Writer.
 *In-place editing of text fields in Writer.
 *Interactive image crop feature for Impress and Draw.
 *Enhanced support for 3D charts.
 *New language translations: Bulgarian, Danish, Hindi, Norwegian Bokmål
 and Thai.
 *Many bug fixes and smaller improvements as detailed in the Release Notes.
 Bug reports can be entered in our Bugzilla database at:
 https://issues.apache.org/ooo/. Questions and other feedback, good or
 bad, can be sent to our users mailing list at us...@openoffice.apache.org.
 Thanks in advance to our Beta Testers!

Re: Apple Script saving .aiff file

2014-03-14 Thread Chris Blouch
Ahh, I think we're on different platforms. I'm thinking of a shell 
script in terminal while I think you're doing it via an AppleScript. 
Both apparently have a say command. Since I don't know Applescript, 
all problems are solved by shell scripts for me :) That said, you can 
use AppleScript to run terminal commands. So something like:


set bob to You have a new message. do shell say -o 
~/Desktop/outputaudio.aiff   bob


Then you can use all the fancy terminal say commands:

https://developer.apple.com/library/mac/documentation/Darwin/Reference/Manpages/man1/say.1.html

This Apple developer note covers most of the glue needed to connect 
AppleScript with shell scripts:

Re: The bug for Messaging on the I phone.

I agree with you, Ricardo. I use a Braille display about half the time and the 
touchscreen the other half. If I can meander off and speculate here, I really 
think that a keyboard on a touchscreen is just a transitional input method, 
because it really isn't as efficient a method as it could be. I'd be willing to 
bet that dictation or some sort of virtual keyboard will replace the 
touchscreen keyboard. Yes, I'm a science-fiction fan, and love to speculate, 
but time will tell.

 we like it or not. I can't be doing with people who are just plain stubborn 
 and hate change. I do use a bluetooth keyboard sometimes, or be it an 
 emulated one on the mac, and I do heavily use MBraille and Fleksy for 
 typing, but again these apps expect you to type on the touchscreen and 
 offers no facility for bluetooth keyboards and or Braille displays. I 
 understand some on here may have issues with my statement but this is 
 reality so if I can be polite here put up or shut up.

 People are inherently lazy. I only use my braille keyboard for typing. I do 
 everything on the touchscreen itself. This is because I know everything 
 will eventually go to touchscreens, so I want to be as comfortable with 
 touchscreen as possible. Most people appear to hope that this will not 
 ultimately be the case, even though every trend and all the research 
 indicates it will be, so people keep trying everything they can to keep 
 things at the haptic comfort levels they have known from the past.
 
 The fact is, however, that as of 2011, touchscreen panels have become less 
 expensive to manufacture than static screen panels with separate physical 
 control buttons.

 Hello.
 
 The bug for Messaging, I messaging is still on the I phone, you type 
 your contact and you still can't arrow across to type your message 
 unless you touch the I phone some where else. Is this a bug or is there 
 another way of getting to the messaging field where you type the content 
 of the message?
 
 Jonathan is absolutely right about typing with the Focus blue as I 
 haven't been using mine very much but its lovely. The only problem is i 
 can't write true UEB as Apple have strange ways of writing Braille which 
 jonathan explained once in his article. Writing on the Focus blue is 
 better than writing on the Apex!

Re: OpenOffice/Seeking Beta Testers to Test accessibility

2014-03-14 Thread Chris Blouch
Hmmm. Doesn't mention much in the way of Voiceover bugfixes, but I guess 
that wouldn't be a major feature. Just 64-bit support for OSX. 
iAccessible2 is a windows/linux accessibility API so that's not going to 
matter for OSX/Voiceover.

.Mac OS X version is now 64-bit and requires OS X version 10.7 or 
above.

.Integrated iAccessible2 support, offering better integration with
screen readers.
.Annotations of text ranges in Writer.
.In-place editing of text fields in Writer.
.Interactive image crop feature for Impress and Draw.
.Enhanced support for 3D charts.
.New language translations: Bulgarian, Danish, Hindi, Norwegian Bokmĺl
and Thai.
.Many bug fixes and smaller improvements as detailed in the Release 
Notes.

Bug reports can be entered in our Bugzilla database at:
https://issues.apache.org/ooo/. Questions and other feedback, good or
bad, can be sent to our users mailing list at

Re: free software for solving capchas on mac

That's interesting. I use it constantly. there's a bit of a process involved. 
Check out the instructions on the webpage. I'll refresh my memory for how to 
set it up and give you pointers if necessary. You have to buy credits, but it's 
something like 50 for 0.99 cents US. I believe the site is based in Europe. 
anyway, I think it's worth paying a small fee for.

adding people to Skype

Hello All:
I am often required to host Skype calls comprised of several people.  I have 
found that in the most recent updates of Skype for mac, the usual key commands 
to ad people to an existing call do not work.  Does anyone know how this is now 
accomplished?

Yes, it works fine for me too. Just used it yesterday; have been using it for a 
little over a year. Once in a while there is a site where it doesn't come up 
and once I had a site where it was trying to put a captcha solution in where 
the blank actually wasn't a captcha entry but 99 per cent of ! time is works 
for me with absolutely no problem.

Re: adding people to Skype

2014-03-14 Thread Ray Foret Jr
When you are on a call, you need to open the shared menu.  From here, there is 
an option to add people.  Find the people you want and then when you find the 
contact, press return twice.  Now, let's say you have three people on a 
conference.  Each person has their own special menu.  Open the menu asociated 
with that person and, from there, you can get rid of that person from the 
conference.

Question about Nemeth Code on the iPhone

2014-03-14 Thread Eugenia Firth
The subject line says it all, I guess. I have a friend who wants to know so she 
can do Nemeth Code on her iPad. I suggested she get on this list since she is 
contemplating getting a Mac and using Windows on it, too. This is a blind gal, 
and I thought I could figure it out. However, no matter what I do, I can't get 
that setting for displaying equations in Nemeth to work on the iPhone. How do 
you do it? I will see her tomorrow, so if I find out I can tell her.

I haven't done much experimentation with this, but I can tell you where the

braille. There's a button which says equations, nemeth code and it's a

Scripting VoiceOver

2014-03-14 Thread Greg Kearney
Just in time for the CSUN Convention.

For some time I have heard from Windows based screen readers users and vendors 
that one omit ion in VoiceOver is the lack of the ability to script the 
functions of the screen reader on the MacOS.

As it turns out VoiceOver does indeed include the functions needed to script 
its use. These options are part of the AppleScript scripting environment that 
ships with every Macintosh computer and can be used to automate the actions of 
many Macintosh applications. The issue has been that there has been no 
documentation as to how to work with VoiceOver with AppleScript.

to address this I have started to document the use of AppleScript with 
VoiceOver. While this is a fairly technical topic some you you may find the 
following pages useful:

http://www.cbtbc.org/tools/asvo/index.php

This documentation is very much a work in progress. There is still much to 
learn about the implementation of AppleScript and it's control over VoiceOver. 
There are, for example over 200 VoiceOver English commands for the perform 
command action alone. However I have already been able to write several test 
scripts

I hope some will find this information useful please feel free to pass this 
along to those who might benefit from this information.

Re: Resizing objects in the latest version of Keynote

2014-03-14 Thread Chris Blouch
Is this different than the old version? I haven't upgraded to Mavericks 
yet so I can't get the new iWorks. On the old one you could add a text 
box by going to the Text Box button in the toolbar or choosing TextBox 
under the Insert menu option. Once inserted it's basically an empty box. 
I get dropped into the new text box and can type some text which 
stretches the box to contain it. To set the width or height of the box I 
would pull up the Inspector with Command-Option-I and then navigate to 
the Metrics radio button and select that. Tabbing into the Metrics pane 
there are several input fields including Width and X Y position. I think 
the height is not changeable as that is derived by the quantity and 
formatting of the text contained by the box. Doe it not work like that 
in the new Keynote?

On 3/13/14 3:26 AM, Daniela Rubio wrote:
You just need to interact with the text box and move the handlers. By 
default, VoiceOver scales it, and in this new version, you listen to 
accurate information regarding the sise, which was not OK in past 
versions.
Also, you can look where in your slide the text box is going to the 
Disposition formatter.

Hope it helps.

Voiceover Accessible Cross-reference Apps?

2014-03-14 Thread Emilio Hernandez
Hello everyone,

Does anyone know of an accessible Voiceover cross-reference app for the Mac?
I know about Devonthink, but it is not accessible.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks for any help anyone can provide.

Re: Adding a Skype Contact

Go to the contacts menu in Skype and from there, put in the e-mail address or 
Skype name of the person you wish to add.  Click find and, if that person is 
found, they will show up in the table on the right.  Add them as normal.

Questions About Running Windows On my Mac

2014-03-14 Thread Ezzy Bueno
Hello, List!

I am now running Windows on my Mac, through Bootcamp. My question is
how to select which system to run at start-up: Mac OSX or Windows. As
of now, my sighted friend holds the OPTION key down when the computer
starts up, in order to get the list of options. Is there anything I
can do so that I will get an audio option prompting me with a list of
options to select fom?
Also, what key do you all use fas the INSERT key with JAWS? How can I
check the battery status of my Mac while running Windows?
And finallly, do you all have any tips that you can offer me to get
strated with running Windows on my Mac? FYI, I am familiar with using
JAWS, as I use to have a PC years ago.
Thank you all for any tips you can offer! :-)

Cheers,
Ezzie

Re: Questions About Running Windows On my Mac

2014-03-14 Thread Alex Hall
First, download and install the free Refit Boot manager. This nifty bit of 
software gives you first-letter navigation of your startup disks, and 
automatically prompts for one. When I used it, I could hit the power button, 
press W right after the chime, and Windows would boot. Or, I could press M, and 
Mac OS would boot.

As to using Windows, I would personally dump Jaws - it's expensive and 
resource-hungry. Go to www.nvda-project.org and install NVDA, a free screen 
reader that does everything Jaws can in most situations. It handles MS Office, 
web browsing, and most everything else. The default speech takes getting used 
to, but it can be done, and eventually you may come to love that speech, as I 
do. NVDA has help documentation (NVDA key with N, arrow to help).

charts in pages

Hi all.
I am trying to figure out how to do charts in pages. When I hit the edit data 
button, I get a dialog with unlabelled buttons, an image, and two edit boxes 
with numbers. How can I go about actually, typing in data for the chart? This 
is for every single chart option in the list.
thanks.

Re: Voiceover Accessible Cross-reference Apps?

2014-03-14 Thread Jim Gatteys
Emilio, what about iData
Kind of hard to tell because I'm not sure what kinds of things you want to do 
with it.
iData is a freeform text database.  I used one as part of my word processor 
under windows for years and kept track of all sorts of info that way.
I haven't really used iData but have heard it is good for this purpose.

Because you have to pay and they need some way to attached credit to you.
Beware though, the ten free credits expire the next day so make sure you have 
something lined up to practice on. I wasn't that smart and they don't tell you 
that the trial is only one day, just that it's ten credits.

Re: Questions About Running Windows On my Mac

There are tons of voices, ranging from about $25 to $100. NVDA works with Sapi4 
or 5, plus the Nuance package ($100) that Shawn mentioned. These are the same 
voices that Mavericks comes with for free, excepting the two Siri voices - the 
Mac does not yet have those.

Where are you trying to drag it? Copy and paste works much better for moving
