Hi there,

Don't mean to make a big deal about this, but just what do people want?  As has 
been point out, this is half the price and more of some of the other solutions 
out there and there is a demo which was very well done by Ricky Enger.

 Don't get too excited though, unless you have $299.00 to burn on it.

 you're seeing is most likely due to the remote OCR. That is to say, the

 you have to have an active Internet connection for it to work.

 first time, DocuScan defaulted to using the built-in webcam.  However, 
 once I properly installed the scanner, it gave me the choice between the 
 webcam and my scanner.  The recognition process took slightly longer than 
 my K1000 typically does, but the quality was actually slightly better.  
 Guess it's a trade-off.  In any case, I am loving it so far.  I need to 
 play around with it a bit to figure out how to edit and convert files,

 be an efficient solution for use on a Mac. I love K1000, but there is no way 
 they'll port their software to the Mac. So this could be a solution for folks 
 who don't want to futz with putting Windows on a mac or with the process

 I apologise for the contradiction, but you can, in fact, take a

 their solo model, but their PC model certainly allows two pages to be

 availability of the demo in the app store. I thought the rules were thatI 
 Apple wasn't going to let devs post demos, so I figured you couldn't get one
 there. I will undoubtedly get the demo and try it out for myself. With a
 bookedge scanner, I find I don't use two page mode all that much. I'm pretty
 sure you wouldn't be able to take a pic of two pages with that camera
 they're going to sell. You can't do it with the one from abisee, as I
 understand it. I am somewhat concerned about the seeming lack of ocr
 parameter adjustments, because plenty of documents aren't all that straight
 forward. The demo has a brief review of a menu that the demo's producer had
 scanned. I would love to have known how that menu came out, as my experience
 has been that menus are often quite difficult to get right without
 significant human intervention and clean up.

 I am debating wether or not I should get the apple care plan mostly because 
 of the cost.
 I know that this piece of equipment is very expensive and serves all of the

 I can't be anymore happier with the mac myself since I first got it. I'm 
 still learning a lot about the mac even though i've had it for 1 year.
 
 What do you think about the apple care plan. Should I go ahead and pay the 
 $249$ for the extension of the warranty which is 2 years or should I just 
 forgo that? What are the benefits of the apple care plan? When is it 
 necessary to have the extended warrantee? Is there a payment plan in case I

Why are you infuriated?  I think, overall, the price is great compared to more

Hi Lynn,

Yes, I did close the program and then reopened it again and I was thanked for 
activating it.  First, I click on Start, then go to the internet and find the 
file I want and download it.  It only seems to download a little bit of the 
file over and over again.  I have to abort the operation.  Other then that, 
whatwas there, sounded perfectly fine.  

Thanks for your help.

 Chris, here are a few of my thoughts on this.  After you authorized the 
 program, did you try exiting it and then reopening it?  Also, I'm not sure 
 what you mean when you say you clicked on a file.  Were you trying to record 
 something from the internet or were you trying to convert a file that was 
 already on your hard drive?  Of course, the way this program works is that 
 when you click the start button, its little nose sniffs around for media and 
 tries to capture it, and then when you are done, you click the stop button 
 and its little nose stops sniffing around for media.  One thing that confused 
 me was that when I tried to capture a Youtube video, a few seconds into the 
 capture, it made a sound like it was stopping, so I thought maybe I had the 
 same problem as you, but actually, it did capture the whole thing after all.
 
 I just purchased a license for this program yesterday.  I did use a program 
 called Replay AV on the Windows side made by the same company, but I admit 
 I've just started working with the Mac equivalent, so I have a few things to 
 figure out myself, but I was able to successfully record a Youtube video just 
 now.

Re: braille and voice over?

If you go to Sarotalk.com, there is a podcast where there is a demonstration of 
the Mac version of Docuscan with the camera done by Rickie Enger.  I just 
bought the software which is for Serotek customers $199 until the end of April. 
 The regular price is $299.  The camera is $499.00.  You can't go wrong with 
that.  The documentation for both Mac and PC is available from Serotek and you 
go to the help section.  Hope this helps.

 Hi Pricilla:
 Welcome!  I didn't notice your scan question before I replied about braille 
 displays.
 Scaning is an area that in my very humble opinion is not well addressed on 
 the Mac platform.  There are some applications that can  perform scanning.  
 But, they are not as simple as for example an openbook or krzweil interface.  
 Some people on list have successfully been using a combination of apps very 
 successfully.  That is, an app called Vuescan, which can scan well, but 
 doesn't address page orientation, combined with Abbyy Fine Reader, which does 
 excellent OCR, but is very scanner choosy.
 
 Top solution for scanning, albeit an expensive one is the eye-pal.  It is a 
 good system.  But, the Mac interface is currently being re-built.
 
 The two applications I mentioned run about $150 US, while the eye-pal is I 
 think, around $1200.
 Hope this helps a little.

 Hey all listers,
 I'm new to the Mac operating system being that I switched from windows after 
 I graduated from college.
 What made me switch is because of the cost effectiveness in terms of 
 accessibility out of the box. When I used a PC I used a screen reader called 
 jaws for windows and these can run from the range of $600 to upgrade and 
 $1000 to purchase the screen reader + the annual fee which is high in order 
 to maintain the SMA's. That is separate in addition to the cost of the 
 hardware itself based on research on the various costs of computers ranging 
 from 400 to $900 even more for quality computing. Another reason is the fact 
 that tech support is available for the computer in person and the time and 
 inconvenience in resolving the various troubles faced when using Jaws and 
 the added fact that you need sighted assistance which is not granted by 
 phone. With Apple I can go to the center which is near my house and have all 
 of my computer problems and even receive training on the accessibility 
 depending on the knowledge of the person who has experience with its use. 
 That and many other reasons most of them being financial and personal as 
 well as the added fact that the state refuses to pay for the upgrade or 
 purchase of new software to perform the appropriate tasks independently is 
 the factor that made me consider buying the mac being that I wanted to try 
 something different. Hence the long story I have questions regarding the use 
 of braille displays and the mac as well as scanning software that is 
 accessible for mac users using voiceover.
 Does anyone have experience using braille displays with the mac? If so, 
 which braille display do you use and what is your experiences with its ease 
 of reading, accessibility etc? Would the braille note be useful   a braille 
 display? Which braille displays are cheaper, the braille note or a 
 standalone braille display? I have an old braille lite millennium, would 
 that work with the mac? Because if it does that would be great and I won't 
 have to deal with the commission refusing to purchase anything and deal with 
 the stress of fighting them to get what I really need. If not I understand 
 the need for new equipment which I need for grad school or work anyway.
 Based on your experiences, which braille display or notetaker works better 
 with the mac? Also which scanning program works well with voice over based 
 on experience?
 
 Any advise is appreciated.
 
 Thank you very much.

Re: docuscan +

:
Another option to consider is the Btraillino.
I've worked with it only once with a mac and an iPhone. But, it left such a
strong and a good impression that I'm happy to say I will be getting one as
soon as Handytech NA ships. That is, assuming DVR placed the order on
Friday as they said they would.:)
I've heard no serious complaint about this display, and As erik points out,
displays and preference are pretty arbitrary.
Have fun with your search and check out as many as you can.

you don't want heavy customizations like the ssd drive the $200 for the

Hi Matt,

I could never get Vuscan to work.  I just received a notice from SAMobile

 Any thoughts on Vuescan an other OCR solutions would be greatly appreciated.

Re: will be starting my first mac class

2011-04-08 Thread Christopher Peppel

Hi Sara,

When I first went to the Apple store, you could feel that they were a little 
doubtful as to whether they could do the training or not.  Apparently, i 
impressed them enough with the little I knew about VO that they were willing to 
give it a go.  I'm sure they got as much out of the classes as I did.  If 
nothing else, I hope that I paved the way for some other blind person if they 
decide to take classes in the future.  By the way, the price couldn't be better 
$99.00 for the year, 50 classes.

A little while ago, there was some discussion about the Eye-Pal and possible

 Thank you very much for your reply. It is such a comfort to know that

 I applaude you on your use of JAWS. I have tried to use it in the past
 (when I used windows as my main operating system) but I could not get
 the hang of it because of all the keystrokes...I ended up going
 straight back to zoomtext.
 
 Anyway, I think you are right about forcing myself to use voiceover. I
 have tried it before but failed, which is why i only use it when
 reading long bodies of text. In the same instance with JAWS, I think a
 big part of the issue is not being able to memorise all of the
 keyboard shortcuts in order to function fully. I just cant imagine
 being able to do everything without a mouse.
 
 Do you know of a good way to learn all of the shortcuts? I mean I know
 basic VO commands but i couldn't do half of the stuff that i am used
 to doing with my mouse. Do you know of any good VO guides? and
 shortcut lists?
 
 Sometimes I laugh at myself. I am legally blind, however, I know I use
 my vision before any other senses at times...
 
 Do you use a mac full time? you mentioned that you still use windows -
 is it through bootcamp?
 
 Thanks again

 Hi Andre:
 Well, I guess another plot is in order then, since Watson isn't deducing 
 much on this front.
 
 I'm only running with 2gig memory, and I don't know that I need a lot more.  
 I think the standard now is generally 4.  But, so far it hasn't been an 
 issue.  It does cause me to clean things up more often, just to conserve 
 space though.:) And that's not a bad thing.

 the development engineers can ferret out the cause.
 
 Oh man! And I already sent an email to IBM to see if Watson wanted to share 
 a flat in Baker Street :-)
 
 Seriously, that does seem to point to a different cause. The hang doesn't 
 happen very often on my Mac, so I haven't really paid enough attention to 
 the MacOS state when it does..
 BTW, do you have 4 GB of RAM on your MBP or more?

 Yes, let's email accessibility about this, but let's not loose our sense of

 Though the problem is not limited to Mail, Voice Over just seems to 
 unload itself, and the only thing I can do is repeatedly hit Command F5

 random, i.e. I can't make it disappear at will.
 
 Has anyone else encountered this problem?  If not, what might be causing 
 it?  Any and all suggestions would be appreciated.

 Riccardo,
 
 It is quite common for types of communities to adopt nicknames or phrases
 for themselves that might not seem acceptable outside the community.  For
 example the black community have adopted the N word, the gay community have
 adopted queer or puff in the UK, and over here there are various
 descriptions used by the blind community such as blinky (I guess its because
 some blind people blink a lot), other words include gozzy, bindy, and total.
 I am sure there is a hell of a lot more out there too.

 unconscionable! they price us (the blind) out of the market solely based on
 ability to pay. one other thing I will say about freedom scientific: their

 now, apple has its share of bad items on the list, but accessibility
 isn't one of them. Apple realized that everyone (regardless of disability)
 needs accommodation. its why those who are like us (blinks) have speech and
 braille and why others who cannot read but otherwise can see use the

 While reading on tuaw recently, I came across a link to a very good
 article, written by a developer, listing the reasons why software is not

 price of software, usually involving people decrying the fact that a given
 app is not free or nearly so and somehow feeling that they are being gouged
 by developers, I thought I'd offer this link for folks to check out and
 think about. Remember, this author is not a blindness software developer.
 Everything she says in her article is common sense. But since it is coming
 from a small mainstream developer, not one developing for our small market,
 maybe it will go down easier with those of you who  post here and elsewhere
 the view that small developers working for a small market segment are
 somehow out to screw us over.

Magic Track Pad

Hey Everybody,

I just rejoined the list and it is great to still see a few familiar names 
here.  I bought a magic track pad and wasn't able to do to much with it.  I 
tried changing some of the settings to adjust the sensitivity but it didn't 
seem to make any difference.  So , I am just getting along with the keyboard.

Chris

 Hmmm how odd, I have one too and it seems to work fine.  What trouble are you 
 having exactly?  Had you used the gestures before on say an Macbook or iOS 
 device?
