If it's like the mac Alex will be a U.S. English voice only. Other 
languages should still use the Vocalizer Expressive voices as with the 
case on iOS 7. As for speak screen I speculate this would be useless for 
VO users; more for those with low vision such as Zoom users or those 
with a learning disability such as dyslexia. Just a disclaimer: I am a 
beta tester but can still only speculate.

yes, because if Alex comes to IOS8, must be present for all languages
and not only for English USA.
on the mac, alex only supports English / USA.
who assures us that alex on IOS8 will not be the same as the mac?

now speak about speak screen.
Can anyone explain in more detail what this tool is capable to do
specifically on the screen?
because it seems to me that for this purpose we have the selector elements.
with the selector elements can also view the screen and all the elements
that can be found in the screen ...
what makes this tool more?
is this not more of the same?
I do not understand what the speak screen will give us more than the
selector elements.
We can also read the entire screen with two fingers up gesture, that
informs us of what is on the screen.
anybody explain to me what the speak screen does most specifically?
thanks.

An Overview of iOS 8's New Accessibility Features


Since this year's WWDC keynote ended, the focus of any analysis on
iOS 8 has been its features -- things like Continuity, Extensions,
and iCloud Drive. This is, of course, expected: iOS is the operating
system that drives Apple's most important (and most profitable)
products, so it's natural that the limelight be shone on the new
features for the mass market.

As I've written, however, the Accessibility features that Apple
includes in iOS are nonetheless just as important and innovative as
the A-list features that Craig Federighi demoed on stage at Moscone.
Indeed, Apple is to be lauded for their year-over-year commitment to
improving iOS's Accessibility feature set, and they continue that
trend with iOS 8.

Here, I run down what's new in Accessibility in iOS 8, and explain
briefly how each feature works.


Alex. Apple is bringing Alex, its natural-sounding voice on the Mac,
to iOS. Alex will work with all of iOS's spoken audio technologies
(Siri excepted), including VoiceOver, Speak Selection, and another
new Accessibility feature to iOS 8, Speak Screen (see below). In
essence, Alex is a replacement for the robotic-sounding voice that
controls VoiceOver, et al, in iOS today.

Speak Screen. With Speak Screen, a simple gesture will prompt the
aforementioned Alex to read anything on screen, including queries
asked of Siri. This feature will be a godsend to visually impaired
users who may have issues reading what is on their iPhone and/or
iPad. It should be noted that Speak Screen is fundamentally
different from Speak Selection, which only reads aloud selected
text. By contrast, Speak Screen will read aloud everything on the
screen -- text, button labels, etc.

Zoom. Apple has made some welcome tweaks to its Zoom functionality
in iOS 8. The hallmark feature is users now have the ability to
specify which part of the screen is zoomed in, as well as adjust the
level of the zoom. In particular, it's now possible to have the
virtual keyboard on screen at normal size underneath a zoomed-in
window. What this does is makes it easy to both type and see what
you're typing without having to battle the entirety of the user
interface being zoomed in.

Grayscale. iOS in and of itself doesn't have themes like so many
third-party apps support -- and even like OS X Yosemite's new dark
mode. iOS does, however, support a pseudo-theme by way of Invert
Colors (white-on-black). In iOS 8, Apple is adding a second

2014-07-01 Thread Christopher Hallsworth

Hi all
I am in the Mac Developer Program. I've been receiving seed 
notifications by email. I ignored them thinking I could get the public 
previews from the Mac Dev Centre. Big mistake it looks like as could not 
even find the public preview. I was aware of 10.9.4 and wanted to test 
it but could not figure out how to download so left it until we got the 
update last night. What should I do in future? Any help greatly 
appreciated. Thanks!

Correct, speak screen already exists in iOS 7. It is a little harder to find. I

 I don't know, but the speak screen option seems more for occasional use by 
 people who can usually see the screen; I doubt it is intended for use by VO 
 users. I imagine Zoom users, or those with certain learning problems, will 
 find it quite andy, but VO users not so much. Again, this is all speculation

Re: The best way of saving and editing documents with the new pages on the mac

2014-07-01 Thread David Chittenden
Currently, you cannot do what you are attempting. Pages is designed to work in 
pages format. When one is completely finished with the document, one then 
exports it to word format should one desire to do so. This is all part of the 
competition between Apple and Microsoft for the office spaces of the world. I 
do not expect it to change any time soon considering Apple's new data 
continuity initiative where data will transfer seamlessly between Apple 
products. 

I remember how people had very similar complaints when Word's .doc format 
started encroaching on the then dominant Word Perfect. Given Apple's 
unparalleled commitment to universal access, I hope they are successful and 
unseat MS Word.

 Hello all, I want to start trying the newly released Pages that Apple 
 released last year for the Mac.
 Currently, my version of the app stands at 5.2 just so you know what I'm 
 working with.
 
 What I would particularly like your advice with, is how do you, as the user, 
 go about saving and editing your documents.
 
 I am trying to save my documents in word format. However, when I come to open 
 it again and do some more editing with the document and Command S to save it 
 again, it doesn't apply the save. I get a dialog box asking me to save it 
 again. As if I were performing the function, of save as the 2nd time. which 
 isn't what I want it to do. I just want to save the changes as I would 
 continue working with the document.
 
 Idealy, I'd like to Save in a format which goes between Mac and Windows hence 
 as saving as Word to preserve compatibility between the two systems. 
 
 So, any tips or advice from those who use the new pages on the Mac, in 
 regards to saving as word documents would be vastly appreciated!
 
 Thank you.
 
 Daniel

Re: The best way of saving and editing documents with the new pages on the mac

2014-07-01 Thread Anne Robertson
Hello Daniel,

What you need to understand is that Pages is an Apple proprietory format and it 
is just a concession to the fact that many people need to share files with MS 
Office users that we can save in Word format. So, no, you can never set Pages 
to save automatically in Word format and it will never happen. Perhaps one day 
Office for Mac will become accessible, but until then, you'll just have to do 
what everyone else does and export to Word when you've finished working on a 
document you wish to share with non-Mac users.

I hope this is clear, but I'm sure Tim Kilburn already explained this to you.

Cheers,

Anne

 It will pop up a dialog box forcing me to save it in a dot pages format. I 
 just don't get why Pages won't continue saving the file into word once I've 
 created the exported word doc file.
 
 So does it continue saving into word, once you've exported it into that file 
 format because it simply  doesn't for me. It stubbenly wants me to save in 
 its own format which to me kinds of defeats the purpose of word documents. 
 Either its me or I'm not getting it. :(

 now speak about speak screen.
 Can anyone explain in more detail what this tool is capable to do

 because it seems to me that for this purpose we have the selector elements.
 with the selector elements can also view the screen and all the elements

 what makes this tool more?
 is this not more of the same?
 I do not understand what the speak screen will give us more than the

 We can also read the entire screen with two fingers up gesture, that

 anybody explain to me what the speak screen does most specifically?

 An Overview of iOS 8's New Accessibility Features
 
 
 Since this year's WWDC keynote ended, the focus of any analysis on iOS 8 
 has been its features -- things like Continuity, Extensions, and iCloud 
 Drive. This is, of course, expected: iOS is the operating system that 
 drives Apple's most important (and most profitable) products, so it's 
 natural that the limelight be shone on the new features for the mass 
 market.
 
 As I've written, however, the Accessibility features that Apple includes 
 in iOS are nonetheless just as important and innovative as the A-list 
 features that Craig Federighi demoed on stage at Moscone. Indeed, Apple 
 is to be lauded for their year-over-year commitment to improving iOS's 
 Accessibility feature set, and they continue that trend with iOS 8.
 
 Here, I run down what's new in Accessibility in iOS 8, and explain 
 briefly how each feature works.
 
 
 Alex. Apple is bringing Alex, its natural-sounding voice on the Mac, to 
 iOS. Alex will work with all of iOS's spoken audio technologies (Siri 
 excepted), including VoiceOver, Speak Selection, and another new 
 Accessibility feature to iOS 8, Speak Screen (see below). In essence, 
 Alex is a replacement for the robotic-sounding voice that controls 
 VoiceOver, et al, in iOS today.
 
 Speak Screen. With Speak Screen, a simple gesture will prompt the 
 aforementioned Alex to read anything on screen, including queries asked 
 of Siri. This feature will be a godsend to visually impaired users who 
 may have issues reading what is on their iPhone and/or iPad. It should 
 be noted that Speak Screen is fundamentally different from Speak 
 Selection, which only reads aloud selected text. By contrast, Speak 
 Screen will read aloud everything on the screen -- text, button labels, 
 etc.
 
 Zoom. Apple has made some welcome

There are no views to choose from. When you're in iTunes, within your library, 
music, tracks, you have a large table with seeveral columns like: song name, 
artist, duration, year, gender and so forth.

Re: An Overview of iOS 8's New Accessibility Features – MacStories

2014-07-01 Thread mário navarro

 ok.
seems to me, that users of vo do not have new features in voice over on 
IOS8.
because if these are the new releases for IOS8 accessibility, nothing 
was done especially for vo.
jonathan moasen and some others blind users have made a list of the new 
features they would like to see the voice over on IOS8, but if these are 
the new accessibility to IOS8, we can consider that nothing of the 
desires we all have been met.

and there was so much to do and improve the voice over on IOS8.
I can not believe that apple has only this to offer us ...

I will prepare myself for another big disappointment ...

1) Just because Apple has not implemented the features you wish to see does not 
mean, in any way, that Apple has not added new features to VoiceOver.

2) Unless you are a beta tester, you do not know what Apple has or has not 
added. And, beta testers are not supposed to provide such information.

3) I listened to two podcasts which discussed some of the new accessibility 
features. As I respect the list position, even though I am not a beta tester, I 
am reframing from making any comments besides the one I made about the Alex 
voice. Also, I will not state which podcasts I listened to.

 An Overview of iOS 8's New Accessibility Features
 
 
 Since this year's WWDC keynote ended, the focus of any analysis on
 iOS 8 has been its features -- things like Continuity, Extensions,
 and iCloud Drive. This is, of course, expected: iOS is the operating
 system that drives Apple's most important (and most profitable)
 products, so it's natural that the limelight be shone on the new
 features for the mass market.
 
 As I've written, however, the Accessibility features that Apple
 includes in iOS are nonetheless just as important and innovative as
 the A-list features that Craig Federighi demoed on stage at Moscone.
 Indeed, Apple is to be lauded for their year-over-year commitment to
 improving iOS's Accessibility feature set, and they continue that
 trend with iOS 8.
 
 Here, I run down what's new in Accessibility in iOS 8, and explain
 briefly how each feature works.

Re: The best way of saving and editing documents with the new pages on the mac

2014-07-01 Thread Daniel McGee
Hello David and Anne, thank you both for explaining to me how Pages works when 
dealing with word documents. I pretty much thought this would be the case when 
Tim told me too. However, I'm glad I posted again to get more than one opinion.

I'd just like to ask another question which I'm sure I already know the answer 
to but I'll ask anyway just to clarify. 

When one receives a word document, say as an email attachment and the recipient 
wants to make changes to it, does he or she saves the doc as pages format and 
once there done, export the changed document back into word from saving in 
pages native format and sends it back to them.

A bit long winded at explaining it but I hope it makes sense.

One last question if I may and this one is certainly easier than the last.

Basically, when exporting Pages into word documents which file format would you 
recommend now between .doc or .docx 

I know that .doc is a lot older now,  I've been saving as that for as long as I 
can remember purely for compatibility sakes between systems that may still have 
the older office version around.

I really appreciate all your help and advice with this. It has made it a lot 
easier to accept and just I guess accept, how Pages works. I will get use to 
it. I just needed that more than one opinion.

Daniel  
On 1 Jul 2014, at 07:48, Anne Robertson a...@anarchie.org.uk wrote:

 Hello Daniel,
 
 What you need to understand is that Pages is an Apple proprietory format and 
 it is just a concession to the fact that many people need to share files with 
 MS Office users that we can save in Word format. So, no, you can never set 
 Pages to save automatically in Word format and it will never happen. Perhaps 
 one day Office for Mac will become accessible, but until then, you'll just 
 have to do what everyone else does and export to Word when you've finished 
 working on a document you wish to share with non-Mac users.
 
 I hope this is clear, but I'm sure Tim Kilburn already explained this to you.

 So does it continue saving into word, once you've exported it into that file

 Unless its just simply no one uses the app or I made an error in trying to 
 get across what I want to achieve, I have made an attempt at rephrasing my 
 question in the hope its more clear and will generate more responses. If 
 not, then I'm not offended or anything like that. So here' it goes.
 
 Hello all, I want to start trying the newly released Pages that Apple 
 released last year for the Mac.
 Currently, my version of the app stands at 5.2 just so you know what I'm 
 working with.
 
 What I would particularly like your advice with, is how do you, as the 
 user, go about saving and editing your documents.
 
 I am trying to save my documents in word format. However, when I come to 
 open it again and do some more editing with the document and Command S to 
 save it again, it doesn't apply the save. I get a dialog box asking me to 
 save it again. As if I were performing the function, of save as the 2nd 
 time. which isn't what I want it to do. I just want to save the changes as 
 I would continue working with the document.
 
 Idealy, I'd like to Save in a format which goes between Mac and Windows 
 hence as saving as Word to preserve compatibility between the two systems. 
 
 So, any tips or advice from those who use the new pages on the Mac, in 
 regards to saving as word documents would be vastly appreciated!
 
 Thank you.

Re: An Overview of iOS 8's New Accessibility Features – MacStories

2014-07-01 Thread Alex Hall
Apple has opened up third-party keyboards, so Fleksy can become your 
system-wide input method if you wish. They also added braille input directly to 
VoiceOver, letting you use braille on the screen anywhere you can type. By the 
way, that last one was on a WWDC Keynote slide, so it's public knowledge. 
Those, plus the Alex voice, plus all the features still protected under NDA, 
make iOS8 a pretty exciting release in my book. We have no idea just what to 
expect to see, so at least wait until iOS8 is out in the wild before saying 
that Apple has done nothing.

2014-07-01 Thread Tim Kilburn
Hi Daniel,

For your first question, I have two responses.  If you are two people using 
Pages in the first place, why bother putting the document into Word prior to 
the final product.  I suggest you leave it in Pages.  Now, my second answer to 
the first question is not exactly.  Since Pages easily opens Word documents, 
you can either set your Mac so that Word documents automatically open in Pages, 
use the Open With option in the Contextual menu or open it directly from within 
Pages.  After opened, you can edit and export to Word.

For your second question, I would 99 times out of 100 save it to the .docx 
format as it is the current standard.  When using the .doc extension, it's 
being saved in an earlier format and you're causing things to be unnecessarily 
converted an extra time.

2014-07-01 Thread Karen Lewellen

Hi Daniel,
Just another opinion.  Far less mac connected, but very much document 
sharing connected.
Because ms office tends to hold a grudge with some of  its other editions, 
not so much as sitting at the same table with them, I often suggest  two 
things.
First, if you can, ask the source what they desire.  i cannot tell you the 
countless times I had an associate still using a technically older, but 
much nicer edition of word in their office. but s they did not want to 
seem behind the times.
second, experiment with sending .rtf instead.   tends to work not just for 
office users but for those using open office, or wordperfect, or any of the 
various  programs on the buffet.  that format exists specifically for this 
reason  largely to let you share no matter the preferences desires or 
frustrations of those getting your work.

Just some thoughts,
Kare

 in Nuance voices have been addressed. Oh, and if you use iOS as well, 7.1.2 
 just dropped. Enjoy!

Re: An Overview of iOS 8's New Accessibility Features – MacStories

I think voiceover will be improved, as it always is. Every big release, 
and even some small releases, contain changes. I still remember my first 
big update, to iOS5. I loved the premium voices! Then in iOS6 we were 
able to underline and bold text in any app that supported it, not just 
in pages. And we all know all the awesome things in ios7, especially for 
multilingual people... So just wait, I'm sure we'll be delightfully 
surprised.

 sandras-MacBook-Air:~ sandra$ cat scp
 
 SCP(1)BSD General Commands Manual   SCP(1)
 
 NAME
 scp -- secure copy (remote file copy program)
 
 SYNOPSIS
 scp [-12346BCEpqrv] [-c cipher] [-F ssh_config] [-i identity_file]
 [-l limit] [-o ssh_option] [-P port] [-S program]
 [[user@]host1:]file1 ... [[user@]host2:]file2
 
 DESCRIPTION
 scp copies files between hosts on a network.  It uses ssh(1) for data
 transfer, and uses the same authentication and provides the same security
 as ssh(1).  Unlike rcp(1), scp will ask for passwords or passphrases if
 they are needed for authentication.
 
 File names may contain a user and host specification to indicate that the
 file is to be copied to/from that host.  Local file names can be made
 explicit using absolute or relative pathnames to avoid scp treating file
 names containing `:' as host specifiers.  Copies between two remote hosts
 are also permitted.
 
 The options are as follows:
 
 -1  Forces scp to use protocol 1.
 
 -2  Forces scp to use protocol 2.
 
 -3  Copies between two remote hosts are transferred through the local
 host.  Without this option the data is copied directly between
 the two remote hosts.  Note that this option disables the
 progress meter.
 
 -4  Forces scp to use IPv4 addresses only.
 
 -6  Forces scp to use IPv6 addresses only.
 
 -B  Selects batch mode (prevents asking for passwords or
 passphrases).
 
 -C  Compression enable.  Passes the -C flag to ssh(1) to enable com-
 pression.
 
 -E  Preserves extended attributes, resource forks, and ACLs.
 Requires both ends to be running Mac OS X 10.4 or later.
 
 -c cipher
 Selects the cipher to use for encrypting the data transfer.  This
 option is directly passed to ssh(1).
 
 -F ssh_config
 Specifies an alternative per-user configuration file for ssh.
 This option is directly passed to ssh(1).
 
 -i identity_file
 Selects the file from which the identity (private key) for public
 key authentication is read.  This option is directly passed to
 ssh(1).
 
 -l limit
 Limits the used bandwidth, specified in Kbit/s.
 
 -o ssh_option
 Can be used to pass options to ssh in the format used in
 ssh_config(5).  This is useful for specifying options for which
 there is no separate scp command-line flag.  For full details of
 the options listed below, and their possible values, see
 ssh_config(5).

 Hi Anders,
 
 You're not specific as to whether the copy is going between two computers or 
 simply between mounted volumes on the same computer.  If on the same 
 computer, your command should work fine, as long as, like Jason mentioned, 
 you've either quoted out or back-slashed out the spaces.  So...
 
 cp *.mp3 /volumes/my\ audio\ disk/
 
 or...
 
 cp *.mp3 /volumes/'my audio disk''/
 
 The back-slash tells the Terminal to not count the space after it as an 
 argument separator.  Similarly, the double or single quotes will can be used 
 when arguments have a space so that everything in quotes is counted as a 
 single entity.
 
 If you meant between computers, then the others suggestions would work as 
 suggested.
 
 Later...

Re: An Overview of iOS 8's New Accessibility Features – MacStories

2014-07-01 Thread Daniel McGee
I don’t know what to expect from IOS 8 but it would be nice if they could 
continue the trend of voices. In the form of downloading voices you actually 
want. Like on the Mac. 
By example, say for those in the US, by default you get Samantha but you 
actually preferred Tom for whatever reason. Or for UK folks, you get Daniel but 
you would rather use Serena. So at the end of the day, you get a choice. Of 
course, I don’t know if this will happen in IOS 8 but for me I know it would be 
a welcome addition.

Just my thoughts, for whatever its worth.

All, I am pleased to report, that as of Mavericks 10.9.4 with the combined

Things work as expected once I open the browser.

Re: Alex on IOS 8

2014-07-01 Thread Daniel McGee
I prefer, using compact Daniel. However, I will say that Karen does sound more 
pleasant to the ear in contrast to Samantha.

You mentioned you use her temporarily. I'm just curious, what is your 
preferred voice then?

For me, the reason why I use Daniel compact compared to the HQ offering is 
because I find that compact doesn't come across as croaky sounding. Also, in my 
own personal taste, I found that for me at least compact tends to pronounce 
words better. Words such as: in, two, the and her that he says in HQ form I 
find are either too quiet or in the case of the word her, I feel that this word 
gets cut off a bit early. With compact, I don't get these problems nearly as 
much.

 By example, say for those in the US, by default you get Samantha but you 
 actually preferred Tom for whatever reason. Or for UK folks, you get Daniel

 so it's public knowledge. Those, plus the Alex voice, plus all the

I believe you have given up on using Finder to quickly.
In Finder, Press command-1 for icon view.  Use the tab key  and Voiceover will 
announce the name of the file selected.
Press command-2 for list view and arrow through the list.  Again, Voiceover 
announces the selection.
You can also start typing the name of a file and the selection will jump to it.
Hope that helps.

 SCP(1)BSD General Commands Manual   SCP(1)
 
 NAME
scp -- secure copy (remote file copy program)
 
 SYNOPSIS
scp [-12346BCEpqrv] [-c cipher] [-F ssh_config] [-i identity_file]
[-l limit] [-o ssh_option] [-P port] [-S program]
[[user@]host1:]file1 ... [[user@]host2:]file2
 
 DESCRIPTION
scp copies files between hosts on a network.  It uses ssh(1) for data
transfer, and uses the same authentication and provides the same security
as ssh(1).  Unlike rcp(1), scp will ask for passwords or passphrases if
they are needed for authentication.
 
File names may contain a user and host specification to indicate that the
file is to be copied to/from that host.  Local file names can be made
explicit using absolute or relative pathnames to avoid scp treating file
names containing `:' as host specifiers.  Copies between two remote hosts
are also permitted.
 
The options are as follows:
 
-1  Forces scp to use protocol 1.
 
-2  Forces scp to use protocol 2.
 
-3  Copies between two remote hosts are transferred through the local
host.  Without this option the data is copied directly between
the two remote hosts.  Note that this option disables the
progress meter.
 
-4  Forces scp to use IPv4 addresses only.
 
-6  Forces scp to use IPv6 addresses only.
 
-B  Selects batch mode (prevents asking for passwords or
passphrases).
 
-C  Compression enable.  Passes the -C flag to ssh(1) to enable com-
pression.
 
-E  Preserves extended attributes, resource forks, and ACLs.
Requires both ends to be running Mac OS X 10.4 or later.
 
-c cipher
Selects the cipher to use for encrypting the data transfer.  This
option is directly passed to ssh(1).
 
-F ssh_config
Specifies an alternative per-user configuration file for ssh.
This option is directly passed to ssh(1).
 
-i identity_file
Selects the file from which the identity (private key) for public
key authentication is read.  This option is directly passed to
ssh(1).
 
-l limit
Limits the used bandwidth, specified in Kbit/s.
 
-o ssh_option
Can be used to pass options to ssh in the format used in
ssh_config(5).  This is useful for specifying options for which
there is no separate scp command-line flag.  For full details of
the options listed below, and their possible values, see
ssh_config(5).

 my own personal taste, I found that for me at least compact tends to 
 pronounce words better. Words such as: in, two, the and her that he says in 
 HQ form I find are either too quiet or in the case of the word her, I feel 
 that this word gets cut off a bit early. With compact, I don't get these 
 problems nearly as much.

 You mentioned you use her temporarily. I'm just curious, what is your 
 preferred voice then?
 
 For me, the reason why I use Daniel compact compared to the HQ offering is 
 because I find that compact doesn't come across as croaky sounding. Also, in 
 my own personal taste, I found that for me at least compact tends to 
 pronounce words better. Words such as: in, two, the and her that he says in 
 HQ form I find are either too quiet or in the case of the word her, I feel 
 that this word gets cut off a bit early. With compact, I don't get these 
 problems nearly as much.

 I know that Alex will only work on 64-bit devices. This means the iPhone
 5S and iPad Air, and iPad Mini, 2nd generation. Alex is 64-bit because 
 OS X
 is 64-bit. However, we have had Alex running on 867 MHz G4s with 512 MB 
 of
 RAM, ATA 5, and a system bus of 133 MHz. Why can't we have it on our 
 iPhone
 4S and iPod 5th gen devices as well? We've seen Alex run on 32-bit 
 MacBook
 Pros with Core Duos in them, and I still have these old vintage machines
 that I am talking about today. I just don't get it. More marketing...Hi,
 I'm pretty excited about having Alex speaking under ios 8.
 
 Will he work on the iPad 3rd generation as well as the latest iPad mini?
 
 Thanks

 I don’t know what to expect from IOS 8 but it would be nice if they could 
 continue the trend of voices. In the form of downloading voices you 
 actually want. Like on the Mac.
 By example, say for those in the US, by default you get Samantha but you 
 actually preferred Tom for whatever reason. Or for UK folks, you get 
 Daniel but you would rather use Serena. So at the end of the day, you get 
 a choice. Of course, I don’t know if this will happen in IOS 8 but for me 
 I know it would be a welcome addition.
 
 Just my thoughts, for whatever its worth.

 I think voiceover will be improved, as it always is. Every big release,

 able to underline and bold text in any app that supported it, not just
 in pages. And we all know all the awesome things in ios7, especially for
 multilingual people... So just wait, I'm sure we'll be delightfully
 surprised.

 Apple has opened up third-party keyboards, so Fleksy can become your
 system-wide input method if you wish. They also added braille input
 directly to VoiceOver, letting you use braille on the screen anywhere
 you can type. By the way, that last one was on a WWDC Keynote slide,
 so it's public knowledge. Those, plus the Alex voice, plus all the
 features still protected under NDA, make iOS8 a pretty exciting
 release in my book. We have no idea just what to expect to see, so at
 least wait until iOS8 is out in the wild before saying that Apple has
 done nothing.

 1) Just because Apple has not implemented the features you wish to
 see does not mean, in any way, that Apple has not added new features
 to VoiceOver.
 
 2) Unless you are a beta tester, you do not know what Apple has or
 has not added. And, beta testers are not supposed to provide such
 information.
 
 3) I listened to two podcasts which discussed some of the new
 accessibility features. As I respect the list position, even though I
 am not a beta tester, I am reframing from making any comments besides
 the one I made about the Alex voice. Also, I will not state which
 podcasts I listened to.

 seems to me, that users of vo do not have new features in voice over

 because if these are the new releases for IOS8 accessibility,
 nothing was done especially for vo.
 jonathan moasen and some others blind users have made a list of the
 new features they would like to see the voice over on IOS8, but if
 these are the new accessibility to IOS8, we can consider that
 nothing of the desires we all have been met.
 and there was so much to do and improve the voice over on IOS8.
 I can not believe that apple has only this to offer us ...
 
 I will prepare myself for another big disappointment ...

 If it's like the mac Alex will be a U.S. English voice only. Other
 languages should still use the Vocalizer Expressive voices as with
 the case on iOS 7. As for speak screen I speculate this would be
 useless for VO users; more for those with low vision such as Zoom
 users or those with a learning disability such as dyslexia. Just a
 disclaimer: I am a beta tester but can still only speculate.

Accidentally sent files

Hi guys 
Sorry for sending a whole bunch of files accidentally. I just discovered it. 
It's not a big secret; it's some of my work that I sent to the wrong email 
address. I'd do command z if it would help.
