Re: Is there a trick to using VoiceOver to read mail messages in the Mail application?
Hi. I've disabled the preview window and to read a message I just press enter on it, when finished reading, either delete or cmd+w to get back to the messages list.

Re: iOS 7.1.1 and some problems
Hi William, Yes I have found the same as you. Sometimes, touching different parts of the screen and trying to find the start date etc manually helps sort things out. But I agree it is a bug and will report it to apple myself.

This seems the case in all time/date fields in the native calendar app. 2.And a second problem that occur in different native iOS apps: I swipe to a button, the button is spoken and when I do a double tab on the screen, I hear the sound like there is no element selected for activation.

Re: Focus Blue 40 and the Mac.

Re: good o c r for mac
Thank you, Anne. I've been following these discussions on FineReader for a time and I know you've been asked these questions before, so I do apologise for the repetitive nature. The thing is I can't find show all button. However, having read through the help files and having fiddled some more this morning, I have at least found the .txt option which appeared only after invoking the export document dialog. Maybe that's what is intended in the first place. I will try to look for the show all' button again. When I open Finereader with my scanner attached, I see the table from which I choose the source of the images to be added, i.e. mac, my scanner, and then to the right just 4 choices of scanning to pdf or word or excel or html and then I come across new document section and various choices for that but no show all button. I will ask a sighted friend to have a look for me too. I like FineReader Pro very much indeed. I have plenty to learn but it is worth it. Thanks again for your response.

Re: Is there a trick to using VoiceOver to read mail messages in the Mail application?

Re: problem after most recent Mavericks update
The only speech loss I've been seeing is only with Vocalizer voices and activities. If VO switches activities while you're using a vocaliser voice, it seems to take a few seconds to load for a few reason. Apart from that I haven't seen anything else relating to losing speech.

Re: Which Mac?
Hi, You should be all set. But I have to admit I’m puzzled why you went for the 13 inch instead of the 11 inch Air? The screen seems like a silly place to invest dollars if you can’t see it. Regardless, the specs will serve you well for quite some time for what your stated needs are. Think hard about using bootcamp or VMware Fusion as your Windows solution. Pros and cons both ways. Check the archives here for lots of tips. Best, —k Faith doesn’t give you the answers, it merely stops you from asking the questions.

So my CPU will be taking a nap while Windows does who-knows-what on the hard drive. In other words, Windows is an I/O bound not CPU bound process. Sure, if you're doing something CPU intensive on there like encoding audio or calculating 10K digits of pi the CPU might matter but generally spinning disks have not kept up with the leaps in CPU performance. So I would drop more money on SSD than CPU. Of course, then, there's RAM. If you don't have enough the system will swap least used chunks of memory to disk to make room for stuff you actually need. This swap to disk process can turn any fast drive and CPU to sludge. Now days machines ship with 4GB of RAM or more and that seems to work pretty well in most cases. If you're running Windows in a virtual machine that is going to suck up a good chunk of RAM and keep it as long as it is running. So for virtual machine users I'd bump up the RAM to avoid going into swaps-a-lot mode. I just upgraded a Mac Mini from 4 to 16GB. Cost was about $160 which, as an old computer geezer, is just crazy cheap. CB On 5/4/14, 12:46 PM, David Taylor wrote: It's plenty.

Re: Which Mac?
I got the 13 inch for the battery life. 11 inch has 9 hours, compared to the 13 inch which has 12. While using a virtual machine -- or -- Windows in general, it's important to have as much battery life as possible, as Windows lacks the excellent power management that OSX has. That three hours could mean a large difference in terms of how much battery life is taken off from virtual machines. On 5/7/14, Kayaker sea...@me.com wrote: Hi, You should be all set.

My business has an elve-inch, but if I ever have the money, I'd do the thirteen. The battery is indeed better, but I'd want the SD slot. There is a device called a Nifty Mini Drive, which is a micro SD card holder that sits flush with the MBA's body. It gives you up to 64gb of storage on the card, but is flush so you never even know it's there. Also, the function keys across the top are larger on the bigger model, and I use them enough that I'd like them to be big instead of tiny.

Re: Focus Blue 40 and the Mac.
Sorry about that. I wasn't aware there had been a further update. I haven't had any trouble with 4.57, even since I upgraded to mavericks.

Re: LastPass and Safari - Major Problem!
Ok, I stopped using last pass a long time ago because of the focus problem. So, I appreciate this helpful info but I don't understand this full screen mode. I have avoided full screen mode in Safari because it keeps saying something about spaces and I always end up loosing that page somewhere in spaces It also seems that when I go into spaces mode and then move over to my messages app my computer does all kinds of weird things. For example, I can be typing in the message text box and suddenly, I start hearing VO make announcements about spaces and my screen completely changes to something else. :( I have looked for a setting to turn spaces off but I never found one. Anyways, I don't understand this spaces thing, I don't understand what they are for or the benefit of them, nor do I understand why full screen mode in Safari always means I go into spaces.

Re: Rformatting my Mac
Hi, As Chris mentioned, you must do this from the Recovery Partition. The reason everything is dimmed out is that you are currently running the MacOS from that HD, so you are not allowed to erase the blessed running system. So, restart your computer and as you hear the Startup Chime, hold down the cmd and r keys simultaneously for about 5 seconds then release. Wait for a minute or so then press cmd-f5 and see if VO activates. If it does, then you can erase the HD and install the OS to base system. If VO doesn't start, wait another minute or so and try again. It shouldn't take longer than that to bring up the utilities. Later...

Re: FS: Sony deluxe flat panel monitor with built in speakers, Mac and windows compatible...
Hi. Honestly, I don't know if it looks better, but, it has good specs compared to more current flat panels I checked out online. It's only been used for a few hours. I'm totally blind and only bought it so I could have sighted assistance once in a while. I bought it four years ago but as I said, it's only been turned on for a few hours in that time... A sighted friend of mine says that the image quality is very good and he sees no issues with it. *Shrugs* That's all I can tell you. Cameron.

Re: Rformatting my Mac
OK. Duh, I do feel stupid. This time nothing was greyed out and I agreed to all of the agreements.

question about pram
Hi, I have a keyboard that won't be recognized by my i mac. I've tried everything else suggested except resetting the pram. I know how to do this, but can't remember exactly which settings, etc, it clears. What will I have to re enter or reset after resetting the pram?

Re: keyboard question
Hi, Yes, I've tried other keyboards and they get recognized. I did try this particular one with my mac air as well and got the keyboard assistant. I went through the assistant and after I followed all the prompts, it said that the keyboard was ready to use. However, when I tried to use it, not all of the keys were recognized. For example, I was unable to use the vo keys. I haven't tried resetting the pram on my imac yet, so I might try that. At this point, I am beginning to think that wanting an ergonomic keyboard might just be too much trouble. boo.

sudden mail problem
Hello listers, I do not know what is going on. This just started today. I have not changed anything. I do have a gmail account and I'm using the apple mail client on latest version of Mac. Nothing that I do in my mail program is sticking. If I delete a message from my inbox, it appears that the message was moved to my trash label/folder. However, a few minutes later, the email re-appears back in my inbox. This is happening in all of my folders. Also, if I move an email to another folder/label it also re-appears a few minutes later back where it started. :( I have shut down apple mail several times, I have completely shut down my computer for an hour and rebooted everything. The problem has not gone away. :( I have checked my wifi connection and that seems to be working perfectly fine.

Re: keyboard question
I haven't been following all of this thread but a common issue with non-Apple keyboards is the command and option keys get swapped. So when you say the VO keys didn't work, you might want to try control+command instead of control+option to test if those keys have shifted around.

Re: Rformatting my Mac
Yes, it was looking for the ID and wasn't bringing focus to it. Next it didn't recognize the Apple ID although I confirmed it using another device. I've backed out of all and starting over. I actually didn't do erase first last time and think this is actually what needs to happen. I'm OK to proceed with that assuming I'm erasing the MacinTosh HD from the options? But not sure what to do about my apple ID. Definitely typed correctly and all that. My ID changed at some point so I even tried entering the previous one which is still active. It says it's an ID but not one I purchased Mavrix with. But Mavrix was free, LOL. I know what they mean though. I was able to use this ID to go into the App Store and verify my purchases etc. Didn't think this would become this complicated. To confirm, I want to erase the Macintosh HD? And any thoughts about how to get it to accept this ID which I know is valid. Can I restore ack to Mountain Lion which came on the disk and then upgrade again if necessary? Just trying not to get caught with no PC at all somewhere down the line. Deb On 5/7/14, Tim Kilburn kilbu...@me.com wrote: Hi, Did it ask you for your Apple ID and password?

The reason everything is dimmed out is that you are currently running the MacOS from that HD, so you are not allowed to erase the blessed running system. So, restart your computer and as you hear the Startup Chime, hold down the cmd and r keys simultaneously for about 5 seconds then release. Wait for a minute or so then press cmd-f5 and see if VO activates. If it does, then you can erase the HD and install the OS to base system. If VO doesn't start, wait another minute or so and try again. It shouldn't take longer than that to bring up the utilities. Later...

Re: keyboard question
Chris, I did try using alt tab to go between the finder and mail, which were the two open apps. It didn’t work. So, I am assuming that the keys just don’t work, rather then them being switched. I am aware that with non mac keyboards, the command and option keys can get switched around. If this does happen, is there a way to remap them to the mac ones? This is, of course, assuming I can get the stupid keyboard working on my desk top machine? Thanks!

Re: Headphone jack Not Working
Yep, you'll need to have the entire logic board replaced. No way to put a new jack on because the jack is in fact printed directly in to the logic board.

Re: Rformatting my Mac
Hi, You shouldn't need to go to Mountain Lion first. Apple should have a digital record of your computer being acceptable to use Mavericks. Try restarting your Mac again, holding down the cmd and r keys thus ensuring into recovery mode. Click on the Disk Utility option and continue. Yes, it is the Macintosh HD you wish to erase. Erase it again with the default options of Mac OS Extended Journaled as your formatting preference. Quit out of Disk Utility after it's done which should take you back to the screen where you can choose to re-install OS X. Choose that option and continue. Agree to everything except your first born, then if it takes longer than about 3 seconds to come up with your Apple ID entry window, use the Window Chooser to find it. Enter your Apple ID and password as usual and see what happens. I'm wondering if the wait caused an issue. Hopefully, that does the trick, otherwise we're going to need to do something in a round-about way. Later...

But not sure what to do about my apple ID. Definitely typed correctly and all that. My ID changed at some point so I even tried entering the previous one which is still active. It says it's an ID but not one I purchased Mavrix with. But Mavrix was free, LOL. I know what they mean though. I was able to use this ID to go into the App Store and verify my purchases etc. Didn't think this would become this complicated. To confirm, I want to erase the Macintosh HD? And any thoughts about how to get it to accept this ID which I know is valid. Can I restore ack to Mountain Lion which came on the disk and then upgrade again if necessary?

The reason everything is dimmed out is that you are currently running the MacOS from that HD, so you are not allowed to erase the blessed running system. So, restart your computer and as you hear the Startup Chime, hold down the cmd and r keys simultaneously for about 5 seconds then release. Wait for a minute or so then press cmd-f5 and see if VO activates. If it does, then you can erase the HD and install the OS to base system. If VO doesn't start, wait another minute or so and try again. It shouldn't take longer than that to bring up the utilities. Later...

Re: Headphone jack Not Working
When your headphones are plugged in, if you go to System Preferences then Sound and then the Output tab, does the output device say Internal Speakers or Headphones? If it says Headphones then at least the Mac has noticed that headphones are plugged in. In that same control panel make sure the mute checkbox is not checked. The setting sticks so muting the headphones doesn't mute the speakers and vice versa. If it says anything about Digital Out then somehow the Mac things you've got a fiber optic cable connected instead of headphones. That can sometimes be because of a stuck switch inside the headphone jack or a software thing. One way folks have cleared the digital optical output sticking is by having the Sound Output system preference open while switching from headphones to speakers and back. Apparently it polls the headphone port and can get it un-confused, if it's just a software thing. If it's a hardware things you might be in the land of toothpicks and other dangerous fixes.

Fwd: Update from Voice Dream
Hi, I thought this might be of interest to IOS DAISY book readers. Keep in mind that the app works well with BookShare. CJ Begin forwarded message: From: Winston Chen wins...@voicedream.com Subject: Update from Voice Dream Date: May 7, 2014 at 1:59:43 AM MST To: cj_dan...@cox.net Reply-To: Winston Chen wins...@voicedream.com Hi, Voice Dream Reader 3.0 was released recently after many months in the making. We went from 2.X to 3.X, because the new version represents a big change in the app's evolution. The biggest change is support for graphics, starting with PDF. This required a rewrite of the guts. Before 3.0, Voice Dream Reader threw away all original files after extracting text from them. Now, you can read PDF files in the original layout with voice and text synchronization. Try swiping right from the left edge of the screen: you can switch between text-only view and original layout view effortlessly. Secondly, the highly regarded Ivona voices are available. Now, with Acapela, NeoSpeech, Ivona, and iOS's built-in Nuance voices, Voice Dream Reader offers more voices -- and at lower prices -- than any other text-to-speech product in the market. Finally, we now support almost every major variant of DAISY around the world: DAISY 3.0 and 2.02 in full-text or full-audio mode. Expensive dedicated DAISY reading devices can be hauled to museums. Our work continues. Right now, we're busy working on supporting graphics for eBooks, so that EPUB and DAISY books with images can be displayed in Voice Dream. The built-in Web Browser will be rewritten so that you can listen to web pages in it directly. Since Voice Dream Reader came out 2 years ago, we have never charged for upgrades. We want to continue adding substantial new features and release them to everyone for free. You can help us continue this journey, and benefit everyone around the world who reads differently. How? Spread the word. This is the single most important thing you can do to help us. Tell your friends and colleagues about Voice Dream Reader. The app will be half-priced from Wednesday May 7 to Sunday May 11. So take advantage of this opportunity! Many people in the past asked if they can donate to Voice Dream to fund development. I wasn't comfortable with that. Now, on the verge of hiring a developer to help build new features faster, I had a change of heart. I created a Paypal page to accept donations: https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr?cmd=_s-xclickhosted_button_id=3SV2PVR5JZJVQ Please, do it only if you can afford it. And donate based on the value you're getting from the app, whether it is 1 dollar or 10 dollars a month. The donated funds will be set aside and used only for developing features and enhancements that will be released for free. Thanks for your support and feedback over these past 2 years. Reading is for everyone, no matter how you read. We have a long way to go before we get there. You're a part of that journey. Thank you.

Mystery control
Hi. I have a control in an application that has a button labeled Details. It is supposed to call up a list of advanced settings not usually covered in the one tab of settings that is open. I have tried spacebar, a double tap on the trackpad, a left click, VO shift and VO Shift spacebar. Nothing seems to open this other group of tabs, at least not that I can see. Anyone have any ideas?

Re: Headphone jack Not Working
Remember that f11 and f12 lower and raise the volume, respectively. You may need to press function along with the keys, but they can let you quickly adjust the volume. F10 mutes, I believe.

Re: Kenwood software for Mac
Was checking the Chirp site and apparently they wrote the app in something called GTK or the GIMP Tool Kit which is an open cross-platform widget toolkit for making graphical user interfaces. GIMP is the open source Gnu Image Manipulation Program, a competitor to the commercial Photoshop app and they developed GTK to implement the UI for GIMP. So GTK's roots are in Linux. GTK does have an Accessibility Toolkit or ATK but that was maintained primarily by Sun and those folks were laid off when Oracle acquired them. So it's now maintained by volunteers but it also has its roots in Linux. Unlike some other projects they have written their own accessibility API and nobody currently involved is going to be motivated to port it to OSX. So the short version is that Chirp chose to write on top of a library which is cross platform but not cross-platform accessible. Seems like the only way to fix it would be for somebody to throw a bunch of money at the ATK folks to get a Mac port done but who would do that? I'm sure the Chirp guys are fully reliant on whatever GTK/ATK does for them as they are not going to re-write the platform and they aren't going to rewrite the whole thing as a native OSX app just for accessibility. So I wouldn't hold out much hope. It's like asking Flash developers to re-create their inaccessible stuff in HTML5. When your only tool is a hammer, all problems look like a nail.

However, I have either been ignored (for the most part) or had one of the other users on that mailing list try to argue that we (as blind hams) are a too specialized population and too small to consider changing some interface elements just for us. what we need to do is find every blind ham who are interested in being able to program their own radios and just barrage the list with the same request: enable accessibility features. If they get enough list traffic with this one subject, it may make the developer realize that we are not an insignificant population. This basically means we need to find, contact and convince every blind ham (quite a few of us are mac users) and have them start this campaign. The only other way I can see to get him to do what we want is to throw some money at him, post proof to his list and request that he make the changes needed to allow us to use his software. These are just 2 suggestions and both have their strong points. Frankly, I am more than a little frustrated with software developers who are lazy and refuse to do something the right way.

Re: good o c r for mac
Hello, I am very interested in abby fine reader pro for mac but I can't download it somewhere. I have a key of abbyy fine reader express (for mac) and should think that I can download a trial and register later, if it is ok for me. I find some links but the result is a .exe-file that is downloaded... can someone suggest me to download the abbyy fine reader pro for mac?

Maybe that's what is intended in the first place. I will try to look for the show all' button again. When I open Finereader with my scanner attached, I see the table from which I choose the source of the images to be added, i.e. mac, my scanner, and then to the right just 4 choices of scanning to pdf or word or excel or html and then I come across new document section and various choices for that but no show all button.

Re: keyboard question
Hey there! Well, i’ve done a coupleof things. I reset the pram on my imac. When I plugged the new kb into it, I didn:t immediately get the set up assistant, but it did in fact, know that a kb was connected. The option and command keys were switched, as you guessed. I fixed that in system prefs in the keyboard section. So, it’s sorta working, but some of the keys are changed around. My apostrophe is now a shifted 7, for example and the at sign is to the right of the p. i’m not sure what technical layout this kb might be, but I suppose I can get used to it. The only real bugger right now is that it doesn:t seem to recognize either the right option key or the right control. This is a full sized keyboard, so it would be nice to use those keys. Any suggestions on accessable key remapping apps? One was suggested to me by a guy at the office store called usb overdrive, but I don’t know if it’s accessible and it’s $23, so I don’t want to spend the cash if it’s not. Thanks!

Re: Rformatting my Mac
OK. got through the ID prompt this time. There is now one window which says to choose a start up disk. But the scroll area for this is empty. The only button is restart.

Re: Which Mac?
Okay. I wasn't going to pipe in, but I purchased my Mac Air last Labor Day weekend and got an 11?. You must have big, fat fingers because the keys are just fine for me. As far as battery life concerns, the 13 inch does have the 11 inch beat, but my decision was to put the money into the SSSD to 512. To me, this was more important especially when I knew I would need some of this precious disk space for Win 8 installed in bootcamp. When thinking about either using bootcamp with Windows or VM Ware decide which programs need to be install and how much power you will need to run it all. I took the bootcamp route and I'm glad I did after reading the threads others have posted in the past related to a program that wouldn't install, problems with JAWS, or just other silly stuff. I wanted to have full power on the Win side. HTH.

Sure, if you're doing something CPU intensive on there like encoding audio or calculating 10K digits of pi the CPU might matter but generally spinning disks have not kept up with the leaps in CPU performance. So I would drop more money on SSD than CPU. Of course, then, there's RAM. If you don't have enough the system will swap least used chunks of memory to disk to make room for stuff you actually need. This swap to disk process can turn any fast drive and CPU to sludge. Now days machines ship with 4GB of RAM or more and that seems to work pretty well in most cases. If you're running Windows in a virtual machine that is going to suck up a good chunk of RAM and keep it as long as it is running. So for virtual machine users I'd bump up the RAM to avoid going into swaps-a-lot mode. I just upgraded a Mac Mini from 4 to 16GB.

Re: heading levels
Thanks for the info, will have a look in Getting Started Guide for Activities. Just to say though, I have read a lot of the Getting Started Guide and learnt much from it, but it doesn't always suit people's learning styles to sit and read a guide like that from beginning to end. I do learn stuff that way, but even if I'd read the entire guide that's no guarantee that I would have absorbed all the information. I've also explored the utility and a lot of the menus in full but that's no guarantee of understanding everything I find there. It takes experimentation, confidence, time and effort to learn things, not just looking and reading. That's why groups like this one get formed - so people can help each other out. Please don't assume that people haven't read the guides or that reading them would make these questions unnecessary. When I asked the question I thought maybe there was a podcast demonstrating this feature - and yes I could search applevis for activities but that would most likely yield a huge amount of results and so sometimes the most efficient way to get a pointer is to ask on a forum such as this.

It is one thing that I do not like with the focus 40. Another thing is that you can not ajust firmness in the mac, you must connect to windows if you wants to have it set to 100 %. Thank you for providing the link. Best regards Annie.

Before upgrading your Focus braille display to have it work with your iMac, I suggest that you should try removing the pairing of the Focus with the iMac, and then try to pair it again.

Focus Blue Firmware Update Procedure Before You Begin * Review this procedure before attempting to update your unit * Make sure you have the supplied Focus Blue USB cable * Press the unit's Power button and verify the current firmware version. The unit's name and firmware version display when the unit turns on. * Download the appropriate Focus Blue firmware file and copy it to a location on your computer where you can easily find it later * Updating the Focus Blue Firmware * Using the link above, download and save the appropriate firmware file (ZIP) to a location on your computer where you can easily find it, for example, your Downloads folder. * Open the file and extract it to a folder where you can find it, for example, your Downloads folder. * Plug the braille display into your computer's USB port and wait for the unit to turn on.

Ok, I've tried this on my Mac, and on a Win 7 machine. I cannot choose a delivery date, nor type in my zip code.

Re: shortcut key navigation in Web pages
You only have to do this once, but open the VO Utility with vo-f8 (you might need to add the function key). Arrow down to Commanders, vo-right to the Quick Nav tab and select it, then find and check the allow single letter navigation on web pages checkbox. You can now close the VO Utility and go back to a webpage. Press the left and right arrows together to turn on Quick Nav, and you're all set.

IPhone 5 running 7.1 Messages broken?
I have been using messages on my iPhone 5 fine, up until this afternoon. Lately, however, when I open the app, voiceover goes silent, and screen appears to freeze. I am hoping a simple upgrade will fix this, but cannot otherwise figure out what I will maybe. Thanks again. PS: Amy Three Deer and I were married on Monday, May 5, 2014 is all over Amy's and my Facebook pages, Amy is putting up her amazing photography and videography on YouTube as we speak.
