Re: Any accessible games for the mac

[Chanelle Allen]

Letterfull is an iOS game that works really well on the Mac. I have configured 
my Numpad commander to do a few things like the magic tap for submitting words 
which makes the game a little easier. There is also an iOS game I recently 
tried called Words Command Line Jumble that is completely usable with VoiceOver 
despite a few unlabeled buttons. If you enjoy Scrabble type games, WordVoyance 
is a good option.
Regards,
Chanelle

Re: Reading DAISY books on Mac os Sonoma

[Chanelle Allen]

For Bookshare books, it is possible to rename the XML file to HTM for reading 
in Safari. Otherwise, there is Voice Dream Reader for Mac, but I think you have 
to purchase a subscription.

Hi,

Is there a way of reading DAISY books on the mac M1 chip?  I mean reading using

Track Changes in Word for Mac with VoiceOver

[Chanelle Allen]

Hello,
As the subject says, I would like to know if reviewing/accepting track changes 
in Word for Mac is accessible with VoiceOver. I am working with a student who 
has been told that Jaws is better for that task, but I'm sure there is a way to 
accomplish the same thing on the Mac.
Thank you.

Chanelle

Re: Concerned about the future Mac accessibility

I use Numpad Commander on my Apple Magic Keyboard with Numeric Keypad. 
Interacting is so much easier. Interact with Numpad 9 and uninteract with 
Numpad 7.

 That must be exactly why I don’t encounter the issue. I always use VO

 So far as I remember, this is what the documentation recommends.
 
 Also, the command to move keyboard cursor to VO cursor is VO-Command-F4,
 just to be sure you’re trying the right function. Moving the mouse
 pointer there won’t do it.

 You can avoid this issue by, after navigating to a Heading in an email
 message, rather than using arrow keys, use VO navigation to navigate from
 that point onward.

Hello,
One work around is to paste the link into a plain text document in TextEdit and 
then copy it into an email, message, or whatever you need. When you open 
TextEdit, press Command-Shift-T to toggle between rich and plain text and vice 
versa.

Re: pdf's that are images

[Chanelle Allen]

Voice Dream Reader for Mac has a feature to OCR Pdf image files. I forget what 
the option is called and in which menu it may be found, but I used it once or 
twice.

Re: Moving through headings on web pages?

[Chanelle Allen]

Make sure that single key navigation is enabled. Press VO-Q to toggle it on. 
Otherwise, with QuickNav off, use VO-Command-H to move to the next heading and 
add shift to go to the previous heading.

Chanelle

RE: Emojis on the Mac

[Chanelle Allen]

Hello,
I use an app called Rocket for emojis. You type a character sequence followed 
by the first few letters of the emoji you need. The app uses the system voice 
to read suggested emojis. There is a free version.
Here is the link.

Subject: Emojis on the Mac

Hello all,

I’m wondering how to consistently use emojis on the Mac. When I go into the 
emojis window with CTRL+COMMAND+SPACe, sometimes I am presented with a search 
box and a button called “switch to large window.” When this button is 
activated, various tables are presented, but no emojis appear even when I 
select a category.

Thanks for any assistance,

Re: pages on a Mac

[Chanelle Allen]

Hello,
I am a bit late to this conversation. My curiosity was piqued though, so I 
decided to investigate. Oddly, opening a Docx file in TextEdit retained the 
font type, style, and size for body text but not headings. The Docx file also 
seems to strip links but retain bulleted lists, although tabs are used instead 
of traditional formatting. I then converted the file to Doc using Microsoft 
Word for Mac. The links and font changes are retained. I am not sure if the 
list formatting is changed in the Doc version because there seems to be no 
reliable method for obtaining text position information. VO-F5-F5 only goes so 
far--especially when I can't get the mouse cursor to the exact location of the 
VO cursor. A VoiceOver equivalent of the Jaws alt-delete would be extremely 
helpful.
As a general question, since TextEdit does not have traditional heading styles, 
is there a work around? I decided to use the copy style command and chose to 
keep paragraph spacing, font, and ruler position when defining/saving a heading 
level 1, so I will see if that works.

Re: Why does VO say Direct Touch Area?

[Chanelle Allen]

Hello,
I have also experienced VoiceOver saying "direct touch area" in a couple of 
games. Besides turning VO off and back on again, turn your rotor to direct 
touch. Then, swipe down and it should say "Direct touch on."
Hth,
Chanelle

Re: Dropbox on the Mac

[Chanelle Allen]

Hi Lucy,
To begin, your Dropbox folder should appear as a regular folder in the Finder. 
From the Desktop or any Finder window, press Command-Shift-H to open your Home 
folder. Your home or user folder contains other folders including Desktop and 
Documents (unless they are stored in iCloud Drive), Music, Downloads,
 Movies, iCloud Drive itself (if it is being used for storage), and others. You 
should find the Dropbox folder as well. You will be able to copy and paste 
files in the Dropbox folder as if you were copying, pasting, and saving to any 
other location on the Mac.
Dropbox settings for how files are synced by default (online only or local) may 
be found in the Dropbox menu in Menu Extras. If Dropbox is installed correctly, 
you should be able to press VO-m twice, VO-Right arrow over to Dropbox, and 
press VO-Space to open. You will find information including available space, 
and the status of downloading/uploading/indexing. There are also options to 
pause syncing, turn off notifications, customize preferences, and Quit Dropbox.
Please let us know if you want more detailed, specific instructions.

Regards,
Chanelle
