Putting a disk image on a USB drive

2013-06-06 Thread Bejarano, Rafael P.

Hi folks,

I want to put a disk image of Vinux 4.0 on a USB drive, using disk utility.  
Does anyone know if this is possible?  If so, how?

Thanks.

ABBYY FineReader Express for Macintosh and Hovercam T5 V

2013-02-25 Thread Bejarano, Rafael P.

Hi all,

The Hovercam Express app is indeed accessible with VO; thanks to Matthew for 
bringing that to my attention.  The only drawback I see is that it is not 
possible to access the camera from within ABBYY FineReader Express, so creating 
a multi-page file from multiple images is consequently not doable.  I had to 
scan several pages, making several separate images, and then I had to process 
them one at a time, using ABBYY.

Of course, I could be missing something, so if anyone knows how to do this more 
efficiently, please do let me know.

ABBYY FineReader Express for Macintosh and Hovercam T5 V

2013-02-25 Thread Bejarano, Rafael P.

Hello all,

I for got to mention in my last post that the Hovercam T5 V does not appear to 
work with ABBYY FineReader for Mac.  I believe Erik expressed an interest in 
using it.  ABBYY FineReader does not appear to detect that the camera is 
plugged in to the Mac, and the software that comes with the camera is 
completely inaccessible with VO.  Just thought I'd pass that on.

Scanner to use with ABBYY FineReader Express for Mac

2013-02-25 Thread Bejarano, Rafael P.

Just a quick note to all who replied to my request for information about which 
scanners work best with ABBYY FineReader Express for Macintosh.  After reading 
your posts and researching the products that you recommended, I have come to 
the conclusion that the Canoscan Lide 110 is a good option; it works very 
reliably with ABBYY FineReader, according to Anne Robertson, and it is 
relatively inexpensive ($55 through Amazon).

Anyway, thanks again for your replies.

I am in the market for a scanner or document camera compatible with the ABBYY 
FineReader Express, OCR software.  I would be most grateful for suggestions 
from those of you who use the software.

Also, can anyone on this list tell me if the Canon Lide 60 scanner has software

Thanks in advance for your help with these issues.

Hello Laura, Rafael, J.P., Kimsan, Gigi, and Others

You can manage both the type of your subscriptions (No Email, Email, Digest 
Email, or Unsubscribe to permanently leave the list) and the email address(es) 
that you use for all your Google Group list memberships by going to the 
following URL, which is the page for "Manage My Memberships"

http://groups.google.com/groups/mysubs?hl=en_US&pli=1

This page lets you select the email address used to receive list posts as well 
as your subscription type option from pop up menus for each list you subscribe 
to under Google Groups. However, this only lets you select the email address 
you use from among the valid (posting) email addresses that are already 
associated with your account.  If you want your subscription to go to a new 
email address, navigate to the link on the above page for "My Google account"  
to Change your email address, nickname, or password. VO-Space on that link to 
navigate to the "Account Overview" page.  Then use item chooser menu (VO-I), 
type in "Email", and navigate to the section with the Email information for 
your account.  You can activate the "Edit" link immediately following "Email" 
to make general changes to your account, including adding any Email addresses 
you want to under the "Change your associated Email addresses" heading by 
typing in additional Email addresses into the text box for "Add a new alternate 
Email" and then pressing the "Save" button.  Alternatively, if you simply want 
to change the primary email for the account, on the "Account Overview" page you 
can navigate directly to the "Edit" link immediately following the "Primary 
email address" info and activate that link.

list posts that were found from a search of this list's archives:

receiving mail from the list without unsubscribing?]
http://www.mail-archive.com/macvisionaries%40googlegroups.com/msg67853.html

These posts explain various other questions that came up, like reminding users 
that if you're prompted to log in with an email address and password, the email 
address you use is the one you used to create your Google Account -- it need 
not be your current email address.  Also, the above procedure of adding email 
addresses associated with your account assumes that you have not created 
multiple Google Accounts by multiple unsubscribes and creations of new Google 
Accounts.  You only ever need to modify one account to manage your 
subscriptions, and you cannot add  multiple email addresses that are already 
associated with different Google Accounts that you have forgotten about.  If 
you do add new Email addresses from the "Account Overview" page, you can 
navigate back to the "Manage My Memberships" page and change the pop up menu 
buttons for which address is used to receive mail subscriptions.  And you can 
post to the list using Email addresses from any of the addresses that you have 
added, and which appear in the pop-up menu.

If you want to read up or down the linked threads at the Mail Archive for this

Hello Rafael,

Do you only need English or do you use other languages? This makes a difference.

I hear that DocuScan is the best OCR solution but it requires an internet 
connection but it only works for English.

I use ABBYY FineReader Express for Mac and find it works well. However, if you 
want to do multipage scanning, it's best to use VueScan to capture the images 
as it can handle automatic page feeds, then give the resulting image file to 
ABBYY FineReader to process.

ABBYY FineReader comes from the Appstore, but VueScan has to be purchased from 
the developer:
www.hamrick.com

I can't tell you the prices as I'm in the Euro zone, but it should come to 
under $200 for the second solution. DocuScan is more expensive.

Cheers,

Anne

No, I do not believe it's a Safari issue.  Besides, I just did a search or two

RE: Pages and APA 6th edition style

If you are looking for software, such as that which works with Microsoft word 
to help detect formatting mistakes, I think you may be out of luck.I have 
never had any problems using Pages to format my own psychology papers, though, 
so you should be able to write papers in APA style in Pages without any 
problems, as long as you keep the APA style guide on hand.

Re: python development on the mac

I use TextEdit, although my programs are relatively simple, so I haven't really

I haven't found an easy-to-use python GUI solution for the Mac, so if you know

Re: Mac with blackboard

2012-09-25 Thread Bejarano, Rafael P.

On strictly practical grounds, I would advise you to have a couple of other 
browsers available for times like this.  I had trouble using Angel, which is 
course delivery software like Blackboard, with Safari, and what saved me was 
that I also had Windows installed in Bootcamp.  Unfortunately, one browser 
and/or one operating system is unlikely to meet all of the accessibility needs 
of the blind at this time.

Re:

Absolutely.  Buttons, radio buttons, and checkboxes all are accessible with the 
System Access screen reader.  If your student does not have this screen reader, 
the web-based version of it can be accessed as an online app.  Once the student 
has logged on to Windows, have him/her go to www.satogo.com.  There, the 
student will need to set up an account, but after doing so, he/she will be able 
to use the web-based version of the screen reader.

Cordially,

Is it possible to install another operating system on a USB drive with the Mac?

Hello, all,

My subject line says it.  I would like to install Ubuntu on a USB drive, and 
I'm wondering if it's possible to do so with the Mac.  If anyone on here knows 
how to do this (or whether it's even possible), please do let me know.

Thanks.

Subject: found scanning program for the Mac

Hi guys.
I wanted to tell y'all about the scanning program that I saw at the exhibits at 
NFB today. True, it costs $1200, but it comes with a camera sort of like the 
Purl camera.

I had to get it going for them because the guy that knew about it wasn't at the 
table at the time I showed up. He came right after I got it going. It wouldn't 
talk at first. Who knows where it was on the screen. Like OpenBook, you don't 
use the screen reader while it's running. However, I had to turn their 
VoiceOver on, press command q and get out of their program, and then call it 
back up again, after I turned off their track pad. The person that was sitting 
there keeping watch while the developer was gone for a little bit, I guess was 
a Windows user. Anyway, I got the program going.

The developer that came back was very knowledgeable. He told me they had a 
former Kurzweil engineer with them. When I did the scan, it reading was 
incredibly good, even in the light my husband said was glaring on the paper.

I have a Purl camera I am considering selling. It doesn't have much use on it, 
and maybe I ought to sell OpenBook while I'm at it. However, I don't know if I 
can. The state gave me OpenBook, but I bought the Purl camera myself. I'll have 
to find out what I can do about OpenBook.

RE: is a paid screenreader for the mac a option?

It would be nice to have a second screen-reading option.  Every screen reader

Subject: is a paid screenreader for the mac a option?

Hello,
After working for more than 3 years with the mac , it's my personal opinionthat 
more basic programs are accessible on windows then on the mac platform.

I find it more stable to work on the mac because of the integration of the 
screenreader voiceover with the osx.
The fact that the hardware is also adapted for us by the trackpad and the 
function-keys with the spoken values.
And of course the flexible way we can install , manage the system with 
voiceover support everywhere.

However, we can't e.g. configure dropbox with voiceover while this is possible 
on windows, office programs like microsoft office and also iWork's aren't fully 
accessible with lay-out tasks, in my opinion there are several usability issues 
with the browsers on the mac, some ellements of the os , like
Tables, on websites and on numbers and pages, are very difficult to navigate 
e.g. you can't search for edit-fields on websites while they are in a table and 
in pages, you can't work with tables on a comfortable way.
the icon's on the status bar, can't be reached on a normal way with voiceover...

My conclusion: a paid screenreader for the mac that makes program's accessible 
with scripts (like screen readers on windows do), should be very welcome I 
think.
With this kind of optional screenreader, blind users should be able to use all 
the equivalents on the mac of their windows favorites.  Perhaps it should push 
apple  to make their screenreader better on a faster speed.

Why such screenreader doesn't exist yet?
I see 2 reasons for this:
1. Apple should not be happy with this and the screenreader of apple should 
have more possibilities to integrate with the os then the external screenreader.
2. Other communities don't see a reason to make a screenreader for the mac 
while there is one built in.
If it should be the second reason, any people with accessibility frustrations 
on the mac , should communicate this to other companies like gw micro, freedom 
scientific, baum...

Any opinions about this meanings should be very welcome.
kind regards,
William Windels

Re: Tips for reading PDF documents on the Mac

2012-04-09 Thread Bejarano, Rafael P.

Those are very helpful suggestions.  I wonder, though: Have you ever tried 
reading pdf documents formatted in multiple columns?  I can do so using an old 
PowerPC iBook running Tiger, but I can't seem to do so with newer Macs and OSs.

Cordially,

Next, I press the delete (back-space) key to delete the cell's contents.

No Rafael, that's not what I asked for. I know how to enter data. But I want to 
change existing data in the cells.
Imagine you have an address of a friend in a cell. His telephone number changes 
and you want to change just the number. How to do this in Tables?
I don't see this important possibility accessible with VoiceOver.
Again: how to change specific data in a cell?
Not entering data in an empty cell. That's easy.
Hopefully my question is clearer now.

Re: numbers

2012-02-22 Thread Bejarano, Rafael P.

Tables has a data entry field.  That is where data are entered into each cell.  
If you cannot find the data entry field on your own, you may benefit from 
sighted help to find it the first time.  Place your cursor in the field, making 
sure VO is not locked.  You can then type or paste in data and formulae.  If 
you type in the data entry field, press the return (enter) key to get the data 
into the cell.  The arrow keys are used to move between cells.

RE: numbers

2012-02-21 Thread Bejarano, Rafael P.

If you are using an Intel-based Mac, then the first thing to do when you open 
the Tables application is to get the cursor out of the table.  Press Shift, 
Control, Option, up-arrow together, in order to get out of the table where the 
cursor is pointing.  Press this key combination again to get out of the 
spreadsheet.  Do these things first, or the following instructions won't make 
sense.

Basically, there are two ways to read a cell's contents in Tables.  The first 
way is to place the cursor over the field in which one enters numbers, 
formulae, and so on.  If you choose this option, make sure VO is not locked, so 
that you can use the arrow keys to move from cell to cell (i.e., left arrow to 
move to the left, bottom arrow to move down, etc.).  This is a simple option 
that allows you to navigate from cell to cell, to read each cell's contents, 
and to enter data into individual cells, all from the data-entry field.  

The second way to move around in Tables is somewhat more complicated.  To make 
things easier, first lock VO (by pressing control-option-semicolon).  Next, 
enter the spreadsheet, by pressing shift and the down-arrow key together.  At 
this level, you will be able to move the VO cursor with the arrow keys and read 
the letters designating the columns (i.e., Column A, Column B, etc.), as well 
as the row numbers (i.e., Row 1, Row 2, etc.).  To access the individual cells, 
navigate to the table (VO says "table when you've found it).  With VO still 
locked, press the shift and down-arrow keys together again.  That will put you 
in the table of cells, from which point onward you can just use the arrow keys 
to navigate from cell to cell.

I hope this helps.  Let me know if you have any other questions, and I'll do my 
best to try to answer them.

Cordially,
Rafael

RE: reading PDFs

2012-02-21 Thread Bejarano, Rafael P.

Locking VO is the only way I've found to read pdfs, too.  It's also possible to 
move left and right on a line, one word at a time, using the left and right 
arrows, provided that VO is locked.  There does not seem to be a way to read 
documents formatted in multiple columns, however, nor is it possible to 
navigate by sentence or paragraph, at least as far as I know.  If anyone else 
on this list knows more tricks, please do share.

Hi all,

THe only way I can read PDFs is to press control option and colon which locks 
the VO keys. This way you can just use down arrow to read the document or just 
press A for all. I believe you can also interact with the toolbar and go page 
by page. But it's not intuitive. I hope this helps.

Re: numbers

2012-02-20 Thread Bejarano, Rafael P.

If your spreadsheet needs are not very complicated, you might wish to consider 
Tables.  It's the spreadsheet app that I use on the Mac, and I really like it.  
It has all the usual functions, and you can enter your own formulae, as well.  
You can save your work as xl files, too.  Creating graphs is somewhat limited, 
however.

Strange wireless network problem

Hello,

I'm hoping someone on this list might have some insight into a problem I'm

SPSS for Mac?]

Hi Rafael and Al Puzzoli,

If either of you or the student that Al speaks of has access to an iOS device, 
there are currently some free math educational apps for iPhone, iPod Touch, and 
iPad that appear to be accessible and capable of doing statistics.  There may 
be others. but the one that I just tried out because it has currently gone free 
(usually $0.99) is called "Statistics Pro" by Larry Feldman:
http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/statistics-pro/id353217077?mt=8
I've tried the first few modules on Data Analysis and Linear Regression, and 
these seem to work accessibly.  I'd recommend using a Bluetooth Keyboard and 
turning QuickNav on for data entry navigation.  There are a few caveats.  
First, the data are limited in the number of points that can be handled, with a 
maximum of 30 data entries, and also a minimum number of data points for some 
functions (or you obviously won't be able to calculate some statistical 
measures like variance).  The "Data Points" text box will tell you the allowed 
range of number of data points.  You must enter a number here before you double 
tap the "Analyze" button (or activate it by pressing the up and down arrow keys 
simultaneously on a Bluetooth keyboard if QuickNav is on).  By default, empty 
entries will be treated as 0 (and this is announced at the start: "Data (blanks 
are 0)"). VoiceOver will announce the heading for the "Data Points" text box 
out of sequence if you flick through, because the data entries (x1, x2, x3, 
etc.) are in one column, and the buttons/text boxes for "Clear Data", "Data 
Points", and "Analyze" are in a second column in the top half of the screen.  
(You can verify this if you run your finger vertically down from the "Data 
(blanks are 0)" label near the top of the screen about a quarter to a third of 
the way across from the left edge; then when you are on the text box for "x1", 
move your finger horizontally to the right to the "Clear Data" button, and 
switch to moving vertically down.  You'll hear "Clear Data" button, "Data 
Points", "[4,30] text field, double tap to edit", then "Analyze" button.) So 
when you do a "read all" two finger flick up, VoiceOver will alternate between 
reading the two columns, and you'll hear the "Data (blanks are 0)" message, 
then "x1 text field", "Clear Data" button, "x2 text field", "Data Points", "x3 
text field", "[4,30] text field", "x4 text field", "capital S button", "x5 text 
field", "button", "capital R button", and "Analyze button".

I would just navigate with the keyboard to each field in sequence, and realize 
that in the previous instance I will be entering the first 3 data points (x1, 
x2, and x3) before coming to the text box for the total number of data points, 
then continue entering data values until I want to move to the "Analyze" button 
(last element in the screen, so do a four finger tap on the bottom of the 
screen to move there, or use Control+Down arrow on the keyboard).  You'll get 
announcements of the mean, standard deviation, median, maximum and outliers.  
The "capital S" button saves your entries, and "capital R" restores them.  The 
unlabeled "button" is an info button that tells you this.

There are a few other concerns.  VoiceOver reads out the text summary of the 
analysis quite well, but it won't read Greek letters (e.g., "mu" for the mean), 
or certain symbols for square root, etc.  On the Mac I handle this be sending 
the output to TextEdit.  I'm not sure  how to work around things here.  It may 
be possible to do an image capture and OCR with another app.  However, if you 
know what is going on, you can still follow the formulae results based on the 
written text summaries.  I've only done some quick testing, but this may be 
usable.  Each menu item listed in the app, such as "Data Analysis", "Linear 
Regression", "Normal Distribution", etc. has two sub menus: Solver (where you 
input values) and Tutorial (where there are general explanations of the 
concepts behind the calculation).  Try taking a look at this, and possibly 
other iOS apps for statistics.  As I noted,  this one is currently free, so you

I had the same question. Pdf to rtf service was the best I found. This app lets 
you open PDF documents in text edit. You install it by copying the .service 
file into a folder on your hard drive. The folder is specified in the readme. 
Your document is still a PDF, so you'll have to copy and paste to a new 
document and then save the new document in the format which you prefer. Here's 
a download link for this app.
http://www.macupdate.com/app/mac/17950/pdf2rtfservice

Another option is to open preview, hit command-a, command-c, and paste your 
text into text edit. This will work for most PDF's.

I have not tried it myself as I haven't got a multi-column document to test it,

Good luck.

PDF files

Hello all,

I am trying to use Preview to read a multiple-column, pdf file.  The problem is 
that I don't want to read by column.  I want to read line-by-line, from the 
left to the right of the document, but I can't seem to figure out how to do 
that.  In other words, I would like for VO to ignore the column formatting, and 
to treat the document as though it contained only one column.

If anyone on this list could give me some insight as to how to do this, I would 
be most grateful.

Hello Rafael,

I'm totally blind and have used both SayText and Prizmo with some success.

SayText seems to work best for reading envelopes, and Prizmo for reading a page
of a book or a sheet of A4 or the equivalent.

They both need good lighting, so I use Light Detector to gauge the level of
light.

With both apps, you place the iPhone with its camera in the centre of the
document, then raise it. With SayText, the autofocus mechanism tells you when
to keep still and wait for it to take the picture.

With Prizmo, the phone vibrates, then you say "Take Picture" and it does just
that. With Prizmo, you need to have a headset connected as it switches to the
phone speaker rather than the normal speaker as soon as the picture has been
taken.

Both apps require a bit of practice before you can get decent results.

Cheers,

which could easily do flash cards right out of the box and even formal

It is not now available for os 10 but a segment of the below discusses

RE: Outspoken VS. VoiceOver

2011-03-22 Thread Bejarano, Rafael P.

As I see it, the fact that VO only works with applications created in Objective 
C/Cocoa is a serious limitation of this screen reader. That's not to say that I 
don't appreciate Apples commitment to providing a free screen reader, but I do 
miss the simplicity of Outspoken, as well as its greater compatibility with 
other software.

Subject: Re: Outspoken VS. VoiceOver

Hi,
I'm an old outspoken user, and i can say that for its time it was the best 
screen reader i'd used on any platform, but then we'll have to remember that in 
Sweden we only used one screen reader for Dos, and it could be quite cumbersome 
to set up and so on. True enough we didn't have the control we have now, but 
there were a lot of innovative techniques used that i miss to this day. As 
there was no braille in the beginning, Outspoken used a pretty clever 
implementation of sound to show you where the cursor was. I could go on and on 
and on about this screen reader but just let me mention one thing more: You 
didn't need to worry if the app was accessible or not, the only apps that 
didn't work on the macs back then were the ones that were made in Hypercard. I 
wonder if the apps were simpler back then?

RE: Outspoken VS. VoiceOver

2011-03-21 Thread Bejarano, Rafael P.

I used to use Outspoken with Mac OS9. It was more intuitive than VO, in my 
opinion, but it also didn't give you as much accessibility as VO does (e.g., 
you couldn't navigate by paragraph vs. sentence with Outspoken).

That said, I wish Outspoken were still available. There are many APPs that are 
inaccessible with VO, which might be accessible with Outspoken, if a version 
existed for OS 10.

Re: blackboard and Safari

2011-03-02 Thread Bejarano, Rafael P.

If you install Windows on your Mac, using Bootcamp, then you can use System 
Access to Go (SA to Go) for your screen reader. SA to go is free and quite easy 
to learn. This is how I solved my problem.

Good luck to you.

Re: blackboard and Safari

2011-03-01 Thread Bejarano, Rafael P.

The problem is that Angel does not support Safari. In other words, it's not a 
VoiceOver issue. If Explorer or FireFox were accessible with VO, you would be 
able to use them, since Angel supports these browsers.

In the short-term, I'm afraid your only options are to use Windows or, maybe, 
Ubuntu Linux. In the longer-term, it may be worth our while to write to Angel, 
asking them to begin supporting Safari. Something to consider, anyway.

I also would be very interested to know if Blackboard can be accessed with 
Safari. Angel, another online course management system, is not accessible with 
Safari, so I am having to use Windows and the System Access screen reader to 
use Angel. If Blackboard is not accessible in Safari, perhaps your student can 
access it in Windows.

Re: the mac and productivity

First, Microsoft Office is not accessible on the Mac, as far as I can tell. 
However, you can partition your harddrive using BootCamp, so that you can 
install Windows on one of the partitions, if you absolutely must use Windows 
software.

Second, pdf files are very readable on the Mac, using Preview.

Third, an office suite for the Mac, called iWorks, is quite accessible, as are 
certain other word-processing and spreadsheet applications (e.g., Bean and 
Tables, respectively).

I hope this answers your questions.

Question about Unix commands

2010-11-03 Thread Bejarano, Rafael P.

Hello,

How does one get the ls command in Unix to display directories whose names 
consist of more than one word, separated by a space? For example,
ls /Users/Rafael/Documents/My Stuff
or
ls documents/my stuff

Thanks in advance to anyone with the ability and inclination to help me out 
with this one.

Hi
Is ubuntu/vinux trying to copy mac I wonder? Most programs for vinux except for 
qt4 and some webkit programs are currently inaccessible with vinux 3.0 but 
other than that most things just work. Does mac use something similar to At-Spy 
atspi to make its OS accessible I wonder? Reason I'm asking is because when 
both mac and vinux3.0 load websites they both say html content. They also say 
some other things that makes me think vinux has incorporated at least some form 
of apple's universal accessibility into vinux 3.0 itself.
