Finding highlighted text in Safari with quick notes and VoiceOver

[Brett Campbell]

Hello,

I’m getting around to exploring the new quick notes feature in Monterey. One 
feature is to highlight text on a web page in safari. Once a quick note is 
created, only the link to the site appears in the note. To get to the 
highlighted text, one hits the link, the page opens, and the highlighted text 
appears on the page. I can’t figure out a way for VoiceOver to find the 
highlighted text. Does anyone know how to do this?

Brett

Re: PDF pen question

[Brett Campbell]

I purchased PDF pen with the purpose of being able to read documents within the 
app. I was hoping for a solution to the double line reading I experience in 
Preview. I’ll keep your suggestion in mind, thanks.

PDF pen question

[Brett Campbell]

I am new to PDF pen. When I open a document, it will show there are six pages, 
for example. I’m able to read the first couple of pages, then VoiceOver says 
the remaining pages are blank. When I open the same document in Preview, I’m 
able to read all pages. I’m hoping someone here can tell me what I’m doing 
wrong.

Thank you,

Brett

 Hi all,
 
 Ever since upgrading to WatchOS 8, I am unable to dictate messages.  I can 
 get dictation to start, but I can rarely get it to stop, and I can’t get 
 VO to read back to me what I have dictated, so I can make sure it’s right 
 before sending the message. Anyone have any idea what might be going on?  
 I use the watch for messaging a lot, so this is a major inconvenience.
 Cheers,
 Donna

Re: Notifications

Check your Do Not Disturb settings. Look for the button that says “allow calls 
from”. If you have favorites or another group selected, their texts and calls 
will go through even when you have do not disturb enabled.

Re: bluetooth headphone issue since latest software update

Yes, I periodically have this experience with both my AirPods and Bose QC30. 
Sometimes I have to put my Mac to sleep, turn off the headphones, and try

is something you can help me with, contact me at the Emil provided under my

Hoping someone can check a web page with VoiceOver

[Brett Campbell]

Hello Mac visionaries,

If someone has a moment to spare, I’m asking you to check out a web page with 
VoiceOver. This page is the locations and hours for the Salt Lake Community 
college Disability Resource Center. There are 3 tabs, Taylorsville Redwood 
Campus, South City Campus and Jordan Campus. I’m told that visually selecting a 
tab shows the info for the campus. I can’t read anything with VoiceOver after 
selecting a tab. I’m wondering if the info isn’t seen by VoiceOver or is there 
a  setting or command I’m not aware of to read the text. The link follows.

Re: Another Dictation Breakthrough

[Brett Campbell]

Hello Mark,

This news is good to hear, yet perplexing. I installed Air Dictate on my phone, 
along with the software for my Mac earlier today. I found the iPhone app to be 
unresponsive with VoiceOver. I couldn't activate the prompt to connect my phone 
with the Mac. With VoiceOver off, sighted assistance performed the connection 
instantly. Following the connection, I activated VoiceOver again. As I felt 
around the screen, it sounded like a keyboard was present, but my borrowed eyes 
said there was not a keyboard present. I managed to find the mic button, and 
completed one dictation. After that, the mic button was allusive, and when I 
managed to come across it, it was unresponsive.
Please share how you found success with this app. I've contacted the dev, and 
they opened a ticket. They said perhaps it can be made VO accessible in the 
future.

Thanks,

Brett C.

Re: Problem in the address book

[Brett Campbell]

It's been my experience that there is no resolution.  I type the phone number 
without feedback, move out of the edit box, then move back.  The number should 
then be read.  You most likely will be able to interact with the edit box to 
make any corrections.

Re: working with the previous recipients table?

Hello Donna,

In both instances, I use VoiceOver's last phrase copy to pasteboard feature, to

address.  If you need more information on copy last phrase to pasteboard, let 
me know.

Re: working with the previous recipients table?

[Brett Campbell]

Donna,

The copy last phrase to clipboard is one of my favorite features.  It's helpful 
when traditional copy and paste doesn't seem to work.
When you use control, option, shift C, the last thing VoiceOver spoke will be 
added to the clipboard.  You can then paste the text anywhere you can paste 
using conventional copy and paste.
I find the VO, shift C combination to be a little tricky, so I have setup a 
simpler hockey through the VoiceOver utility.
HTH

Re: calendar help needed

I definitely recommend using the VO and arrows to move among the appointments.  
To delete a calendar from the calendar list, select the desired calendar, and 
bring up an options menu, with VO shift M.  You will find an option to delete.

Re: GPS Apps

[Brett Campbell]

Hi everyone,

I just purchased Where to?  My first concern is there is a message selling 3D 
that gets in the way.  I can't find a way to dismiss it.  The message says the 
window will be skipped after purchasing.  If I purchase the 3D just to get rid 
of the message, do you think the 3D will mess with VoiceOver?
I also have a question about the Bus stops.  I'm able to find the stops just 
fine, but I'm not able to get additional information on bus times.  When I tap 
on the more information button, I seem to just get the stop labeled as a map 
pin.  I don't appear to get more information by double tapping the map pin.  
I'm not seeing the Next Transport option Esther mentioned.  I'm also not seeing 
the next or previous menu mentioned.  I'm wondering if the 3D sales pitch is 
getting in the way.  I usually do quite well at figuring apps out, but I'm a 
little stumped here.


Brett C.

On Feb 14, 2011, at 12:43 PM, Esther wrote:

 Hi Neil and Others,
 
 Where To? by FutureTap is certainly worth the $0.99 (U.S.) Valentine's Day 
 sale price.  It was the first of the helper applications for GPS points of 
 interest (in the same class as the free AroundMe app by Tweaker Soft) to add 
 the capability to send results to GPS apps such as Navigon and TomTom, as 
 well as to the default Maps app.  AroundMe only added this feature later.  As 
 Geoff described, the primary difference between Where To? and AroundMe is the 
 more detailed divisions of categories and sub-categories for Where To?  This 
 can make it easier to locate specific points of interest more quickly -- for 
 example, Geoff gave the example of restaurant food sub-categories.  Also, the 
 feature access can be set up differently.  Here's an example of where I'd use 
 Where To? in preference to AroundMe (and where Navigon's POIs falls short).  
 For my location, Navigon doesn't bring up any bus stops among the public 
 transport POIs, although these are easily found in the Maps app.  In 
 AroundMe, I have to type in bus stops into the search field, and I'll be 
 presented with a list of matches ordered roughly (but not exactly) by 
 distance.  In Where To?  if I first double tap on Travel and Transportation 
 and then double tap on Public Transport, and the bus stops will be exactly 
 ordered by distance.  Moreover, I can double tap the next menu or previous 
 menu buttons and be taken to the next or previous menu in the list, and the 
 page for each stop has a link to the web home page that shows the next bus 
 scheduled arrival time.  This is not available through AroundMe.   The point 
 here is merely to show that the Where To? app can provide information that is 
 different from, or complementary to what you get from AroundMe.  
 
 Where To? is also an international app, and with both AroundMe and Where To? 
 it is possible to search for points of interest in different locations.  For 
 example, after selecting search categories, double tap the Search button in 
 the top right corner of the screen, and then enter either the postal code or 
 the name of the city into the search field and double tap the Search button 
 at the bottom right of the virtual keyboard.  (If you use a Bluetooth 
 keyboard, just press the Enter key to start the search.)  Your search 
 results will come up for the postal code or address you entered in the search 
 field.  (Note that this works for zip codes in the U.S. and postal codes in 
 the U.K., but not for lengthy French postal codes -- you have to type in a 
 more complete address.)  To return the search to your present location, 
 double tap the Start Tracking button in the bottom left corner of the 
 screen.
 
 Since Neil is in the U.K., I'll just mention that a check of a U.K. location 
 brought up reasonable search results (though I can't verify how up to date 
 the entries are, if there are recent changes.)  This app has been used by 
 U.K. members on other lists.  I'll also mention that I've never understood 
 why the Navigon MobileNavigator app for Great Britain requires a separate 
 in-app purchase for searches by postal code (or the use of a dedicated third 
 party app for this), when it's simple to enter the postal code in AroundMe or 
 Where To? and then send the address location to Navigon.
 
 As Geoff noted, the URL in the App Store for Where To? is:
 http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/where-to-discover-your-next/id314785156?mt=8

Re: Emoticons with VO pronunciation

[Brett Campbell]

I have been attempting to create a labeled pronunciation  for :D for over a 
year, with no luck.  No matter how many times I try, VoiceOver just says D.  
Like you, I can create labeled pronunciations for most everything else.  I'd 
like to hear from you if you find a solution.

 Hi,
 I've been trying to add some emoticons in the VO pronunciation dictionary.  
 But it's not working.  For example, I do :D (Collin D), for a laughing face.  
 I put :D in the first box, then laughingface, in the second.  And all Apps 
 is checked.  I even hit enter.  Is there something I'm missing?  Can someone 
 try it out and tell me if there is something that I am missing?  Thanks.  
 BTW, if I put names in there, and sub it with the correct pronunciation, it 
 works.

Re: Travelreporter GPS milage log

The theory behind this app sounds great, but the few reviews available, are

 Description of app: 
 Do you have to keep a mileage log but thinks it is a bore.Travelreporter 
 makes it as easy as it can be. Tap start trip when you enter the car and then 
 tap
 stop trip when you are at your destination. Travelreporter will automatically 
 log your start address, end address, distance travelled, time for the trip,
 and, if you want, place/customer and what car you have used.You don't have to 
 enter any text, but if you want, you can add a note. And if you should forget
 to stop your trip you will be reminded after standing still for 10 
 minutes.You can create different reports, which you can send by e-mail, save 
 to your
 computer (via iTunes) or print (iPhone 3GS or iPhone 4).You can also follow 
 up your fuel consumption per car. The only thing you have to do is enter the
 amount, when you refuel your car.The trip can log Date, Start address, End 
 Address, Start time, End time, Total time for the trip, Distance travelled,
 Place/Customer, Car used and Notes.You can sort the reports, with subtotals 
 on Place/Customer and Car.You will get an abbreviated report on the iPhone
 and a full report that you can email, print or copy to your computer both as 
 an HTML report and as a .csv-report for MS Excel etc.When you stop a trip
 you can, if you want, get a list of Places/Customers sorted on Start or End 
 place, to choose from, for easy finding.You can also get a list of cars to
 choose from.If you have an iPhone 3GS or iPhone 4, Travelreporter will log 
 everything in the background, so you can make a phone call or user other apps
 during your trip or you can lock the screen to save battery.If you have an 
 iPhone 3G, Travelreporter will stay in the foreground during the whole trip.
 However, if you get a phone call, Travelreporter will restart itself after 
 the phone call has finished and continue the trip.You can see your trip and
 your places on a map during the trip, to help you navigate to the 
 destination.Continued use of GPS running in the background can dramatically 
 decrease
 battery life.

Re: Update on SEE Finance

[Brett Campbell]

Thanks for this Les.  I tried See Finance a year or so ago, but couldn't quite 
figure it out.  Following your recommendation, I gave it another try.  I found 
it to be quite accessible and much easier to understand, compared to my prior 
trial.  The application's tools and ease of use make it well worth the $29.99 
price.  Thanks again.

Re: pages and the Ipad

[Brett Campbell]

The documents are transferred through iTunes.  One first imports the documents 
into iTunes, and then when the device is connected, transfer the documents to 
the device.  Following this procedure, an additional step is required.  When 
Pages is open, go to documents, and select import documents.  There will be a 
list of the documents that were transferred, and they have to be selected, and 
imported, within the device one by one.  It took a little practice for me to 
feel comfortable with the process.

Re: creating groups in apple mail

[Brett Campbell]

This task is actually accomplished in the Address Book application.  You will 
create a group, and then you can add the desired contacts to the group.  When 
composing a message in Mail, you only need to type the name of your group, and 
the addresses will be added.  
Creating a new group my be problematic if you're using Snow Leopard.  It can be 
done by turning VoiceOver off, or something like that.  There are others on the 
list better qualified to describe the process.

 persist if you log out of your account, or quit an app, or restart your 
 machine.  A good example of setting a hot spot would be if you're reading a 
 book or document in Preview, but need to switch to another application for a 
 while, but want to return to the same reading location.  Although Preview 
 lets you set bookmarks, and you can also return to the app by switching 
 through your currently active apps with Command-Tab, this only gets you back 
 to the same page that you were reading.  If you want to return to the same 
 point on the page, you would set a hot spot before you left the page, and 
 then use the command to return to that hot spot when you got back to the app.
 
 Hot spots can also only take you to places that VoiceOver can navigate to. 
 It's possible to use other accessibility features of the Mac, such as Mouse 
 Keys, to move your mouse cursor position independently of VoiceOver.  I've 
 used this to play sound samples on the Audible web site, by figuring out how 
 many pixels to move from a control that VoiceOver does recognize to get to 
 the player controls and click.  (This keeps changing, incidentally, as they 
 re-design their web pages).  You can't save this position as a hotspot, 
 because VoiceOver doesn't know how to get there independently.  The hot spot 
 is basically a temporary snapshot of your use configuration in an app.
 
 As far as easily getting to different web sites, such as the ones for Twitter 
 or Facebook with a single keystroke, Safari will already let you do that.  If 
 you bookmark a web page with Command+D, and use VO+Space to press the pop up 
 menu for the location to be saved, then select  Bookmarks Bar, you'll be 
 able to access the first 9 bookmark entries by pressing Command+the number of 
 the bookmark.  So in Safari, Command+1 takes you to the location of the first 
 bookmark on your Bookmarks Bar, Command+2 takes you to the location of the 
 second bookmark on the the Bookmarks Bar, etc.  The only thing to watch out 
 for is that when you add bookmarks to the Bookmarks Bar, your newest bookmark 
 becomes the first bookmark, and all the others get bumped up by one.
 
 HTH.  Cheers,
 
 Esther

 Hi Ezzy,
 
 I'm not sure if I understand your question, exactly. Think of it as having 
 10 points available to you, anywhere on your Mac, in any application. You 
 can use any number hot spot in any application but you can't use number 1 
 twice, that is, in one application and also another application at the same 
 time.
 
 If you wish to change a hot spot, you needn't necessarily delete the old hot 
 spot. You can simply set a new one with the same number and now that'll be 
 the new hot spot for that particular number. If, however, you simply wish to 
 get rid of a hot spot, pressing VO and the hot spot number a second time 
 will unassign that hot spot.

 Trahern,
 
 1.  Navigate to any field, object or control you wish to set as a hot spot.
 2.  Use VO-Shift-with 1 through 0 on the numbers row to set a hot spot.
 
 Once you've set a hot spot, you can use VO plus the number to instantly 
 move the focus to and speak the status of the hot spot.  If you want 
 VoiceOver to read the hot spot without navigating to it, use VO-Command and 
 the number.  If you want VoiceOver to automatically speak the contents of 
 the hot spot whenever it changes, use VO-Command-Shift and the number.
 
 HTH,
 
 Slau

Re: iWork: Numbers specifically

[Brett Campbell]

Anne, in regards to your suggestion of using the trackpad to find a cell, this 
does work great.  However, when I locate a desired cell on the trackpad, and 
then use the keyboard to enter data, the focus isn't in the cell I had focused 
on with the trackpad.  Is this your experience?  Are you able to type in the 
cell you located with the trackpad?

 Hello Joshua,
 
 Here's what I posted elsewhere on how to find specific information in a cel

 First of all, here's how to locate a specific value in a cell:
 
 Numbers
 
 To find specific content,
 Turn cursor tracking off;
 Press Command-f and enter search term;
 Navigate down and interact with scroll area;
 Interact with table:
 Find desired result;
 Bring mouse to VO cursor and do a mouse click (VO-Shift-Space);
 Stop interacting with table and scroll area;
 Navigate up to next scroll area;
 Interact with scroll area, Layout area, and Layout item;
 You will be on the selected cell;
 Press VO-Shift-T to identify the cell.
 
 Cheers,

Re: mag track pad pairs with macbook pro but not mac mini

[Brett Campbell]

Unfortunately, I've found the bluetooth devices often don't like to play with 
other devices when they are paired with another.  This is often, but not always 
true.  Sometimes they will work if the first device is turned off, or bluetooth 
is turned off.  I think the Magic Trackpad only likes to be paired with one 
device at a time.

Re: iDisk not in sync? Need help please.

[Brett Campbell]

Hello Jenny,

I think I have an answer for you.  Go to Mobile Me in your system preferences.  
Select the sync tab, and look for advanced, and select it.  You will see a list 
of your computers syncing with Mobile Me, and a place to select a percentage of 
data change to be alerted to.  Following that you'll see a Reset Sync History… 
button.  Select this button.  You will be presented with the options of 
replacing On this computer with sync info from MobileMe., or Replace All Sync 
Info on MobileMe with sync information from this computer.  If everything is 
how you want it to be on your Mac, I suggest replacing Mobile Me data with the 
data on your Mac.  It may take a while.  I had to do this one time in the past 
year, and it cleared up my issues identical to yours.

 MacBook it says I've used 2 GB worth of space and then it says iDisk not in

 What do I do?  I am confused and for 100 dollars a year I want my service to

Seeking enlightenment in regards to iTunes equalizer

[Brett Campbell]

Hello,

I've noticed that a few list members use DJ apps etc.  I'm hoping someone can 
provide tips tweaking the equalizer settings in iTunes.  I recognize listening 
preferences is entirely individual, so I'm asking that someone explain what 
each setting changes in the sound.  I count a total of 11 boxes to adjust 
settings.  VoiceOver only reads a number along with hertz.  Can anyone explain 
what each box changes in the music or a DVS movie audio track?


Thanks,

Brett

Re: Exercising and iPod

[Brett Campbell]

It's the strangest thing.  I also couldn't find it in a search, so I googled it 
and found a direct link to it through a couple of reviews.  The links brought 
up a message in the iTunes store saying the app is currently not available in 
the U.S. store.  My   uneducated guess is that the developer is about to submit 
 an update.  It really is great, and an update just came out a week or so ago.  
The developer has been quite mindful of VoiceOver.  I'm guessing it will show 
up soon.

Re: Can a mini be connected to a TV and work with VoiceOver?

[Brett Campbell]

As I stated earlier, I'm a novice when it comes to cables.  My early research 
shows that one can purchase a mini DVI to HDMI cable.  For the sighted people 
in the household, the HDMI is supposed to provide better picture quality over 
the VGA connection.  Rumors state that future Macs will move to HDMI, which 
will enable one to transfer picture and sound through one cable.

Mark,

I'm certainly not Esther, but here is a link, in case you don't wish to wait.  
You're looking for Infovox.  In my opinion, Heather is the best of the U.S. 
voices, but they require you to purchase multiple voices as a package.

 Hi Marie,
 
 I've changed the subject line, since we're talking now about the  
 Infovox voices from Acapela.  One additional piece of information is  
 that you get the Heather voice with every voice pack you purchase.   
 So, if you purchased the Spanish voices or the U.K. English voices,  
 you'd also get the U.S. Heather voice.
 
 Cheers,
 
 Esther

 yes, i think there should be an option to buy individual voices. I

 consider it an option. haha, and then again, maybe not.

 Hi,
 
 See, I asked them about this. APparently, Acapela does not permit  
 sales of separate voices. THis is apparently because of agencies.  
 They seem to find it a better solution to just buy a package that  
 suits your needs so you can choose, rather than agencies and such  
 having to buy multiple times.
 
 I guess I can see that, but it would be nice. I don't want a lot of  
 those voices taking space on my computer. The only ones I really  
 care about are Peter and Heather. let's complain!

Can a mini be connected to a TV and work with VoiceOver?

[Brett Campbell]

Is it possible to connect a Mac mini to a HD TV, and have the mini recognize 
the TV as a monitor, so VoiceOver will be happy?  The TV has a VGA and a HDMI 
connection.  It may have others, but I'm not sure what they are yet.

Re: A mobile Me question

[Brett Campbell]

Yes, it is a service.  When you purchase from the Apple site, or Amazon, you 
are sent a code in the mail.  When you receive the code, you enter it on your 
mobile me account.  I don't know why it's less expensive on amazon, but I have 
purchased it myself with success.  You can also get the $69 price with select 
purchases through Apple.  The price provides Mobile Me service for a year.

Thanks Wes and Charlie.  Forgive my ignorance, obviously I require a HDMI

I have next to know experience with cable connections.

Trying new Echofon twitter for Mac, I can't read tweets.

[Brett Campbell]

Is anyone on the list trying the newly released Echofon for Mac?  It seems 
quite accessible with VoiceOver, with the slight exception that the tweets 
aren't being read.  I'm wondering if my tweets aren't being downloaded for some 
reason, or if VoiceOver can't read them.  If someone else has taken this 
twitter client for a spin, I'd be interested in hearing about your experience.

Re: Itunes

[Brett Campbell]

Are any of you using the Genius Mixes feature?  I'm not talking about selecting 
a song and instructing iTunes to create a playlist.  I'm talking about the 
feature that enables iTunes to automatically create various playlists for you 
based on your library and it's online data base.
When I select the Genius Mixes in the source list, and VO right, nothing is 
read by VoiceOver.  The behavior is the same as we experienced with the 
applications source list prior to the previous update.
I have confirmed with sighted assistance that the Genius Mixes playlists are 
indeed there, and apparently they're quite beautiful to look at.  Anyway, my 
borrowed eyes confirmed the situation is the same of the previously mentioned 
applications source list.
I'd be thrilled to hear that it's working for you.  Either way, please let me 
know.

 If I type in the artist name such as Genesis, then tab I go directly to the

 takes me to the album field.
 If I then arrow down I can read the various albums however if I either tab

 Itunes crashes.
 If I type in the artist such as Genesis then vo left arrow I can get to the

 Itunes.
 I also left the search field blank and pressed vo right arrow from the 
 sources table to the songs table where I'd normally get a list of all my 
 music but again this resulted in Itunes crashing. 
 I have tried disc repair with no joy. 
 For my sins I'm using a Macbook 13 inch with 4gb of ram. 
 Hope this info will help someone figure what the issues might be. 
 
 If anyone knows of a way to roll back Itunes to the previous version I'd 
 love to hear how. 
 
 Kind regards

 Good afternoon,
 
 I received the following response from an Intuit representative in the U.S. 
 regarding Quicken accessibility.  They declined a request for a trial version

 Sorry, but we do not offer free software for testing outside of our Beta 
 process(es).  If you and/or your clients purchase Quicken Essentials and 
 discover that it is incompatible with your application, you can return it 
 within 60 days for a refund.
  
 Quicken Essentials was not specifically designed with VoiceOver  in mind, but 
 if VO is capable of converting text to speech regardless of what application 
 is generating that text, then I would expect at least some of that same 
 functionality with Quicken Mac product(s).  Where I see concern is where the 
 VO would encounter graphic images such as bank logos, scanned attachments 
 and/or Graphs (from Reports  Graphs).
  
 Hope this gives you at least a little more information.

Re: latest Quicken apparently written in Cocoa

 The latest version of Quicken has been released, and apparently it's be 
 completely re-written from the ground up using cocoa.  I don't know if this 
 means it will be VO friendly or not, but I would guess that the possibility 
 exists.  Unfortunately they don't offer a demo, and at $69 it's a little 
 pricy to try as an experiment, but they do offer a two month money back 
 guarantee, so it might be worth it for someone to try it out. 
 At any rate, here's an article from The Unofficial Apple Weblog about the new 
 Quicken.
 Darcy
 
 
 Begin forwarded message:
 
 Date: February 25, 2010 8:00:00 AM CST
 Subject: Quicken Essentials for Mac now available
 Source: The Unofficial Apple Weblog (TUAW)
 Author: Michael Grothaus
 
 Filed under: Software
 
 
 
 After a four year absence, the next version of Quicken for the Mac is here. 
 It's called Quicken Essentials for Mac and is a ground up Cocoa rewrite. 
 I've been using the program for a few weeks now. Is it worth the wait? Well 
 that depends what you need in your financial software.
 
 When I interviewed Aaron Patzer, VP/GM of Intuit's Personal Finance Group, 
 he was quick to point out that it's called Quicken Essentials for a reason: 
 It's called Essentials because it's what we consider to be essential for 
 most users - about 80% of users. We went to people's homes and watched them 
 use it. The majority of them just want to know: How much do I have? How much 
 do I owe? How much do I spend on gas and food? How many times do I go to 
 this restaurant? How many times do I go to Starbucks? What investments do I 
 have? Let me set a budget to control my spending.
 
 If an easy overview of your financial life is the goal Intuit had in mind, 
 they've outdone themselves. The first thing you'll notice is the completely 
 redesigned interface. Gone is the horrible toolbar navigation with multiple 
 windows. Quicken Essentials has got that familiar streamlined iTunes/iLife 
 look and feel with all your accounts, reports, budgets, and tools nicely 
 displayed in a source list. It's single window interface makes it easy for 
 the user to get a complete snapshot of all their finances. The interactive 
 pie charts are snappy and responsive, and the built-in reports make it easy 
 to view your checking, savings, and investing accounts.
 Perhaps the most standout feature of this revamp is the improved 
 categorization that takes a ton of work off the plate of the user. The guys 
 at Quicken have developed a learning algorithm for Quicken Online that 
 allows users to self-tag, with the Quicken Online software remembering those 
 tags and then applying them to other people's data. The more people who use 
 it, the smarter the tagging gets. In my tests, the automatic 
 categorizing/tagging works exceedingly well. Though Quicken Essentials takes 
 a lot of cues from Mint.com, it's method of categorization is different (and 
 superior). Mint obtains its categorization by performing a relatively simple 
 Yellow Pages look-up. Later in the year Intuit will be combining the two 
 approaches and hopes to achieve 95% categorization accuracy (Intuit bought 
 Mint in 2009).
 
 Out of the box, Quicken Essentials supports 12,000 US and Canadian banks. 
 That will grow to 16,000 banks in the next 2-3 months. That's full coverage 
 of every credit union and bank in the country. Transferring and converting 
 your data from Quicken for Windows to Quicken Essentials worked pretty well 
 in my tests. I just saved a copy of my Quicken for Windows file, moved it to 
 my Mac, and double-clicked on it. All my data was easily imported without 
 any errors. Keep in mind that I was only working with two years of Quicken 
 data though. Quicken Essentials allows for conversion from previous Mac 
 programs, Quicken for Windows 2007+, and the now defunct Microsoft Money.
 
 If you're like me and just want a simple program to view all your financial 
 accounts, see where your money is going, and keep track of balances and 
 upcoming bills, I highly recommend Quicken Essentials. If, however, you're a 
 Quicken power user who needs investing and planning tools, investment buy 
 and sell tracking, TurboTax integration, or in-app bill pay, then QEM is not 
 for you. Think of this edition of Quicken Essentials as iPhoto for your 
 finances. It presents a snapshot of your finances and transactions in a 
 simple to use interface. If you need more than that, it's best to look at 
 iBank orQuicken Premier for Windows running under VMWare Fusion or Parallels.
 
 Quicken Essentials for the Mac goes on sale today for $69 and requires Mac 
 OS X 10.5 or 10.6, an Intel-based Mac, and 1GB of hard disk space.

Numbers, jumping to start or end of columns and rows

[Brett Campbell]

Is there a way to jump to the start or end of a column or row with VoiceOver in 
Numbers?  I've been using Tables, but I am now giving Numbers a try.  In 
Tables, I can use command along with arrow keys to quickly get to the start or 
end of a column or row.  This doesn't appear to work in Numbers.
In addition to the answer to this question, I would appreciate any helpful 
hints for a beginner, to master this application.


Thanks,

Brett

Re: Requesting help with combining .avi files and burn to dvd.

Thanks Chris.  I think I'll have to get a friend to take a look at these with

start with the originals senders name, followed by the word wrote, followed by

this automatically, I ask that someone will explain how to do it.

 When you press Command-R to reply to a message, you'll see the original

 highlight the parts you want to remove and press Delete to get rid of them. 
 Type your contribution in the appropriate places.
 
 So, for instance, navigate past the when and from whom, then hold down the

 want to delete, and press Delete.
 Then start navigating without the Shift key until you are past the part you

 You can delete the rest of the earlier message by pressing Shift-Command-Down

 I hope this makes sense.

Re: Importing audiobooks into Itunes continued

I thought the join files option would do the trick.  Another idea that comes to 
mind is going into iTunes, select your created audio book, use command I to get 
info, select options and check the box that says Part of a gapless album.
.  If this doesn't work, I'm wondering if the space between the tracks is dead 
air on the actual file, rather than space between the files.

Re: weird can't rename contact group in address book

Hello Yuma,

I just want to let you know I am experiencing the same issues.  I first 
encountered them when I updated to Snow Leopard.  I contacted Apple and they 
confirmed that it is a bug.  I was hoping for a fix with 10.6.2, but not for 
me.  This is a VoiceOver issue.  With sighted assistance, the groups can be 
created and renamed with no problem.
According to other responses to your message, other lucky ones are not having 
this problem.  I just want to let you know that you're not alone in this.

Question about adding folder to dock with command shift T

I quite like the add folder to the dock with command, shift, T.  I learned the 
command from this list.  I started wondering what other commands I might be 
missing out on.  I found all kinds of keyboard shortcuts with a google search, 
but I can't find the command, shift, T command.   I also searched high and low

This isn't imperative by any means, but thanks for indulging me.

Re: viewing suggestions in spell checker

[Brett Campbell]

I apologize if this is common knowledge.  I just thought I'd mention  
that I like to use the command, shift, semi colin.  This brings up a  
full dialogue that works quickly for me.  VO will highlight the first  
misspelled word and you VO down arrow twice to see the suggestions  
table.  Hit enter on the desired suggestion.  I've experienced that  
sometimes the suggestions table has the word ready to hit enter on,  
and other times I have to interact with the table.
Exploring the spell check dialogue, one will find ignore and learn.   
The learn button will add your chosen spelling to the dictionary.  You  
can hit escape anytime to exit spell check.  If you are presented with  
a misspelled word that you're unsure of, hitting escape will land the  
VO cursor at that word in your document., so you can edit from that  
point.
This spell check feature is available most anywhere there is an edit  
box, Text Edit, Mail, Safari etc.
Nothing new here, just thought I'd elaborate in case someone reading  
this is new to the feature.

 HI Donna,

 For one brief shining moment, just before Snow Leopard, I could press
 Command-Semicolon, then VO-Shift-M in just about any program and get a

 pressing VO-Shift-M doesn't work in most places anymore. That means
 the only way to see suggestions, as far as I know, is through the
 spell check dialog accessed with Command-Colon. The suggestions are in
 a table, so you can move to them with VO-Command-T.

Requesting help with creating a new group in Address Book with SL

[Brett Campbell]

Hello,

I'm trying to create a new group in my address book for the first time  
using Snow Leopard.  I can't seem to figure it out.  When I select  
create new group, a group titled Unknown group appears in the groups  
table.  I have selected rename group from the edit menu, but nothing  
seems to happen.  I've hit enter and interacted with the Unknown  
group, but I can't change the name like a file or folder.
In leopard, when creating a new group, a dialogue appeared with a edit  
box for the name along with an OK button.
The funny thing is that It's now simple as can be to create a smart  
group in the address book.  The problem here is that the smart groups  
aren't syncing to my iPhone with Mobile Me.
I'm hoping someone can give this a try and point me in the correct  
direction


Thanks,

Brett

 Hello Everyone,

 As the title suggests, I am looking for a all-in-one step commercial  
 DVD
 ripper for my Macbook Pro.  In the best case scenario, I would  
 launch the
 program, insert the DVD, select what type of output such as .mp4,  
 iPhone,
 etc, select start, and that's it.

 The application does not have to be free.  I simply want a simple  
 app and
 not one in which I have to become a video editor.

 Oh, as many of my DVDs contain television episodes, I need an app  
 that will
 allow me to manually select which episodes to rip.

 I have such an app on my Windows computer but it is not Jaws  
 accessible and
 my PC is significantly slower than my Mac.

 I would appreciate any help on this.

 Thank you all in advance,

 Mark

Re: Pronounciations

[Brett Campbell]

Go to the VoiceOver utility with VO F8 and go to verbosity.  Select  
the text tab.  VO right arrow until you reach speak numbers as.  If  
you select as words, it will pronounce the way you desire.

 Hi List:

 How do I change VO to pronounce 100 as 1 hundred instead of one zero

 I'm running SL.

Re: Snow Leopard and mail preview pane

[Brett Campbell]

I prefer to turn off preview pane when I'm going through the junk  
folder.  This way the message isn't triggered as read before I  
delete.  I don't even know for sure if this is necessary.  I've just  
read posts that you will receive more spam if it appears read.  I have  
no personal knowledge of this.

 Thanks for your observations.

 Try to do it with the physical mouse click by routing your mouse
 cursor to voiceover cursor with vo+command+f5. I think that is how I
 had switched the preview pane as it was driving me crazy.

 Hi all,

 I received and installed my copy of Snow Leopard last week, and now

 Is there a different procedure for doing this in mail now?
 clicking on the horizontal splitters doesn't seem to work.
 I have mouse cursor ignores VO cursor set in navigation

 Any suggestions ire appreciated.

Turning off Maiol preview pane

[Brett Campbell]

Hello,

I visited the archives and believe I followed the instructions  
correctly, but I can't turn the preview pane on and off.  I like to  
use the preview pane for the most part.  However, I like to turn it  
off when I examine the contents of my junk folder before deleting.
This is what I've been trying.  I navigate to the horizontal splitter,  
route the mouse with VO, command F5 and double click the mouse with  
the num pad commander.  I've tried the same sequence with VO, shift,  
space double click with no results.
I had no trouble turning off the preview pane with Leopard.  This is  
not a complaint about SL, just letting you know that I'm capable of  
doing it.
I'd appreciate suggestions and apologize for bringing this up again  
after it was already discussed not too long ago.
Thanks,

Brett

Re: Turning off Maiol preview pane

[Brett Campbell]

Thank you.  I connected a mouse to my mini and that worked.

 Hi there

 I think the problem here is with the VO mouseclick command.  It
 doesn't work here.  You have to do a real mouseclick with the mouse
 button.

 If you don't have a laptop, this may be a bit harder, but it can be
 done.  Go to universal access, click on the mouse and trackpad tab.
 Check press the option key 5 times to turn mousekeys on.  I had to
 click this with the mouse, not sure why, but the second time I checked
 it it worked with vo space.  Then route the mouse to the horizontal
 splitter in the mail window, and press function+I  or function+5 if
 you imagine an embetted number pad on the laptop.  Hmm, I should think
 that on a desktop this would just be numpad 5.

 I hope that works.

Interact with the table and use VO, shift, home or end respectively.

 Hi everyone,

 I have been hurdled by this one for a bit:

 When i restart the mail application, i usually have the selection to
 appear on the first row of every mailbox i have. I have a big numberof
 messages on my main mailbox from which relevant mails are dispatched
 to different smart mailboxes. I was wondering how one goes about going
 from let's say row 1 to 400 with a command? i've tried command up
 arrow, option up arrow, page up. etc but none work.

 Can anyone point me to how to do that?

 Thanks, and best

Re: [Mac-cessibility News] FaceBook iPhone Application Updated With Accessibility Fixes

 Hi all,

 I personally agree with Anna on both points.  I'm not on the viphone  
 list, so appreciate that this news gets posted over here.  And I  
 think that since the iphone is running a version of VO, Iphone news  
 is appropriate and relevant.  I do also agree though that it would  
 be nice if Josh could just paste the article rather than simply  
 including a link to the maccessibility website.

 Hi,

 Since the lack of accessibility of the iPhone Facebook application has
 been discussed frequently in the past few days, I thought this news
 posting was completely relevant. The news updates in general are
 interesting and of high quality. Keep bringing them on, I say. It
 would be nice if they included the whole article, rather than a link
 to the rest of the story, though.

 Best,

Re: speech muted

[Brett Campbell]

Are you using the track pad?  If yes, perhaps you need to perform a  
threE finger double tap, just like on your iPhone.
