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

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).

Downloading public previews
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.

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

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

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

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.

Re: The best way of saving and editing documents with the new pages on the mac
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 format because it simply doesn't for me.

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
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.

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

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

Of course i am taking for granted that he ***wanna*** move the stuff from one computer too another, so scp that is . just found this . sandras-MacBook-Air:~ sandra$ man scp scp 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.

[[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.

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
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.

Re: Alex on IOS 8
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. On 1 Jul 2014, at 20:32, Jessica D jldai...@gmail.com wrote: Do you like Karen? I am using her temporarily.

Re: Command line question.
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.

Of course i am taking for granted that he ***wanna*** move the stuff from one computer too another, so scp that is . just found this . sandras-MacBook-Air:~ sandra$ man scp scp 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).

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. On 1 Jul 2014, at 20:32, Jessica D jldai...@gmail.com wrote: Do you like Karen? I am using her temporarily.

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.

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.
