Re: Google drive

[Des Delgadillo]

When this happens to me, it's usually because the GoogleDrive app has stopped 
working. Try vo-m-m to bring up the menu and see if Backup & Sync is one of the 
options. If not, the app has been shut down somehow, so relaunch it from the 
Spotlight menu or from the applications folder. 


You can also check your Drive settings from that same Backup & Sync menu. The 
tab key is your friend once you get into the menu for B itself. Then make 
sure you're Mac is set to sync and that your desired folders are selected to 
sync.

Re: Subscriptions

[Des Delgadillo]

Hey there, 

You can manage your subscriptions in the Apple Id section. It's a little 
counter intuitive, but I access these settings through Apple Music under  "my 
account." Then "View Apple ID." If there's a quicker way to get there, would 
love to know.

Seeking a Good Budgeting App for either Mac OS or iOS

[Des Delgadillo]

Hey there,

I have been playing around with Mint, but I find a lot of the features cause 
the app to crash. I love everything about it in theory though. Can anyone 
recommend a similar app that will allow me to add different accounts and be 
able to keep track of expenditures?
For my small business, I use Freshbooks, but Mint was a great app for personal 
budgeting. I’d like to find a good alternative if anyone cares to share.

Thanks,

Hi Debbie,

Thanks for sharing that link. It looks like a great website. However, when I 
try and convert it gives me an error that says converting music from Youtube is 
not possible in my region. I’m in California. Where are you from, by chance? If 
it works for you, perhaps I can use a VPN.

Accessible Youtube to mp3 converter for the Mac?

[Des Delgadillo]

Hey all, 
Usually when I need some audio from Youtube, I have no problem using Loopback 
to record from Safari into Garage Band. Now, though, I'm working on a radio 
demo and I need to download songs, and I figure it will take forever to record 
each individual song only for me to end up using a 3-second clip. 
So, can anyone recommend a good way to download Youtube videos? I used to use 
anything2mp3.com but that doesn't work for me anymore. 

IF it supports batch conversion and SoundCloud URL's, that's a huge plus.

Re: Team viewer or what can we use?

[Des Delgadillo]

Hey Ramy, please do let us know how this ended up working out for you. I'd love 
to know that with Skype TeamViewer might be the solution I've been looking for. 
In the past I quit using it because of its lack of useability. Perhaps with the 
implementation of Skype it will be a different story.

Re: Suddenly I'm unable to adjust volume

Check out the system preferences under sound, output. When that happens for me 
it's because I somehow switched to a different audio output by accident.

Re: Collaborating on Google Drive

[Des Delgadillo]

I don't have any links for you off the top of my head, but there are Google
Docs and Drive shortcuts all over the web and lots of great shortcuts
already exist.

I would definitely advise you to use alt + slash on Windows or opt+ slash
on Mac as this brings up the search box for the shortcuts and you can type
the setting instead of looking for it in the menu. for example, you can
type "share" instead of tabbing up to the share button. This works all over
the Google suite.

Also, Chromevox is my go-to screen reader. Jaws can get the job done with
most Docs and Sheets, but Chromevox I find is much better with Google since
it's their screen reader.

Feel free to email me off list if you have any questions. I use GoogleDrive
and its assorted products every single day for work and pleasure, so i know
a lot of shortcuts and would be happy to help out.
desdelgadi...@gmail.com is my email.

Thanks,

Re: An accessible place to create my Website

[Des Delgadillo]

Hey there,

I think WordPress is the solution you're looking for here. If you plan for
your website to just be a static portfolio, meaning you won't be updating
it on a consistent basis, WP would have quite a few templates that would
suit your needs.

If WordPress and all its features are too intimidating, there are numerous
portfolio creators on the web where you just enter your desired info and it
makes a generic albeit well-presented page.

VoiceOver Compliant CRM's

[Des Delgadillo]

Hi all,

I’m wondering if anyone here has experience with CRM, Customer Relationship 
Management, software like QuickBooks or InToIt. I’m growing my small 
copywriting business and need something to help me keep track of the invoices. 
Right now I’m just using a standard invoicing Google template, but with more 
clients I’m looking to make this as streamlined a process as I can.

I don’t have any issues spending money on a program like QuickBooks but I want 
to make sure it’s accessible before I pull the trigger.

Can anyone share some advice with me on this? Alternatively, is there any blog 
posts or anything that may offer some insight?

Thanks in advance,

[Des Delgadillo]

Hi everyone. 

I'm hoping to add a few songs to a playlist but I can't figure out how to do 
this on Mac. I just have Spotify, no extra third party extensions or anything 
like that. Any shortcuts or hot keys I'm missing? I don't see how I can add a 
song to a playlist anywhere in the desktop app.

Re: Wordpress solution for Mac or simple html command creator, help please

[Des Delgadillo]

It does. MarsEdit reads out the size and orientation info of the image
you're inserting.


Another great benefit of MarsEdit is the developer is very responsive and
open to implementing any accessibility advice. Right now I would say its
entirely useable, but good to know the developer is on your side should any
trouble come up.

Re: Wordpress solution for Mac or simple html command creator, help please

Hi Daniela,

In my experience, Mars Edit from Red Sweater Software is a god-send when it 
comes to WordPress. Incredibly accessible and you can sswitch between HTML and 
rich text with one easy key stroke. 

It's a paid program but definitely a worthwhile addition to any blogger's 
workflow.

Off Topic: Seeking a Windows List

[Des Delgadillo]

To all my Mac friends,

I recently got ahold of a Windows machine and I’m learning that the Mac 
ecosystem has spoiled me indeed. I have a ton of questions that I want to ask 
and wonder if anyone here can direct me to a good mailing list or website?

To give an idea, the last Windows version I’ve used was XP. Now I’m on 10 with 
Jaws 18 and have little to no idea how anything works lol.

So any help is super appreciated. Please feel free to send the recommendations 
off-list to cut down on traffic, since this is an OT post.
My email is desdelgadi...@gmail.com .

Thanks in advance.

Partitioning External Harddrive to Work with Windows and Mac

[Des Delgadillo]

HI all,

I’m currently in the market for a Windows computer for work and I’m realizing 
that my trusty External HD is formatted for exclusive use with Mac. This was a 
lack of foresight on my part.

Well, now I’m getting the new laptop and I would like the drive to work with 
both Windows and Mac, but I don’t want to lose any data. I was thinking maybe I 
could create a partition, so that the partition would work across both 
platforms but the bigger partition would only support Mac. Does this make sense 
and does this sound like something that’s possible? If anyone has any links or 
tutorials on how to do this, I’d love to see them. Feel free to email me off 
list at desdelgadi...@gmail.com.

Thanks all.

Re: cross platform journal apps

[Des Delgadillo]

Hey there,

Not sure exactly what you’re trying to do, but I’ve heard good things about One 
Note. I think that’s a Microsoft product.

If you’re looking more to the blogging world, Mars Edit is the greatest and I 
would 100% recommend. Not sure how well this would work on iPhone or windows 
though as my experience is purely on Mac.

Hth,

Re: Saving photos with unique name outside iphone

[Des Delgadillo]

Personally I would also enjoy a way to name photos that are already stored on 
my iPhone. Much of my job involves content curation which requires me to be 
aware of what photos are and I find that a tough task with iPHone since I can’t 
rename the photos.

Does anyone have a good fix that they might be able to share? Some kind of 
third party app, perhaps?

Google Accessibility Mailing List?

[Des Delgadillo]

Hi all,

As a big fan of this list, I wonder if there’s a similar one for Google 
products? I have a few questions that I’d love to present but don’t want to 
veer this list away from its intended purpose. If anyone can suggest such a 
list, I’d be super appreciative.

Thanks,

Re: Braille Edge with Mac

[Des Delgadillo]

I’d love to see someone more knowledgeable take up this thread.

I used a BrailleEdge successfully with a Mac but all I really did was proofread 
and did most of my typing with the actual Mac keyboard. Granted, this was my 
first display I used this way and I don’;t claim to be a wiz by any stretch, 
but I could never figure out how to do the following things:

Successfully navigate a Pages or Word file using the BrailleEdge alone
Navigate web pages using only the display
Make edits using only the display; I had to use the keyboard.
If anyone sees this who has more knowledge, this makes 2 posters who would 
really value your insight. I’d love a resource to shortcuts or anything that 
might make this an easier experience.

Best regards,

Re: Express VPN

[Des Delgadillo]

I can vouch for this and agree that it’s super accessible on the Mac side of 
things, and this includes their Chrome and Amazon extensions. The price tag is 
a little high, I think $12.99/mo, but it’s so easy to use and speedy that I 
think it’s worth the price. And don’t forget the price gets cut down if you 
bite the bullet and get an annual subscription.

Glad to hear it’s also accessible on the iOS side. I’ll be checking it out soon.

Am I late to the party or is Garage band now a horror show to use?

[Des Delgadillo]

All,

What’s up with Garage band? Whenever I try and use it, I always end up quitting 
out of frustration. I’ll be in the smart controls, for instance, and it will 
suddenly jump me to another part of the window and won’t let me go back until I 
switch applications and then go back. I can’t even arm tracks for recording 
before it does this, let alone cut and move regions around.

Is there something I’m missing, or an alternative? All I want to do is find a 
nice recording program to get song ideas out of my head before I forget them, 
which happens often.

I do have PT but I’m looking for something a little more simplistic, at least 
for this stage of the writing process.

Thanks.

—-Des

Can anyone provide some assistance on Google Sheets or any resources?

[Des Delgadillo]

Hi all,

I’m using Google Sheets more and more for work and although I have a strong 
enough understanding, I’m still running into a few snags. I think a lot of it 
is that I’m missing some basic shortcuts.

The most frustrating issue right now is when editing a sheet with multiple rows 
selected, I can’t seem to edit each cell individually. So, for instance, 
Chromevox will read “cell A1-A4 selected” but when I go to edit, say for 
instance Cell A 2, it will automatically jump to A5, the first cell not in the 
selection. I’m not sure how I can go cell-by-cell when this happens.

Can anyone suggest a good resource to better familiarize myself with the 
shortcuts?

Alternatively, if someone is on here who is really proficient with Sheets, can 
you email me directly at desdelgadi...@gmail.com 
? This is a Mac list so I’d like to keep the 
Google traffic to a minimum if possible.

Thanks so much everybody.

—Des

Funny to think Voiceover has better support for Sheets than it does Docs.

Question About Google Sheets on Mac - Maybe Someone can direct Me to a More Appropriate Group for this Question

[Des Delgadillo]

Hi all,

I’ve been spoiled by numbers, I suppose, but when I use Google sheets on my Mac 
using Google Chrome and Chromevox, it doesn’t read the coordinates of the cell 
I’m in. I would really like for it to at least tell me which column I’m 
currently in so I don’t have to constantly go back to the top of the 
spreadsheet and check. I hope this makes sense.

Is there a way to get Chromevox to announce this information, either through 
Google Sheets’ accessibility settings or Chromvox’ own settings?

Thanks so much for any insight.

Re: Is anyone else having issues reading Kindle books on iOS using a braille display?

Hmm, strange. I’ve confirmed the setting is indeed set to on. I’ll try a few

I wonder though, is there a key command to get the display to advance 
automatically? This would be a great feature in my opinion.

Is anyone else having issues reading Kindle books on iOS using a braille display?

[Des Delgadillo]

Not sure if this is just my issue, but whenever I read on the Kindle app and 
reach the end of the page, continuing to pan doesn’t do anything and I’m unable 
to continue on in the book.

Any ideas as to what could be causing this?

Alternatively, is there a way to make a braille display scroll automatically?

Thanks guys!

Re: Discord?

[Des Delgadillo]

I’d be interested in an answer to this too, but it looks like the developer of 
Discord is aware of the lack of accessibility and isn’t acting on it at all. I 
found this thread quite interesting:

Quick Question about Using an Apple Keyboard with Bootcamp

[Des Delgadillo]

Hi all,
I’m sorry if this question’s been asked before if there’s a good tutorial 
available I’d love if anyone could point me to it.

I’m taking the plunge and installing Windows this afternoon, but before I do I 
have a concern about the Mac’s keyboard working with Windows. I’ve read 
somewhere that the applications key isn’t supported on the Apple keyboard. Is 
there a way to re-map the apple keyboard for use on Windows so I have an 
applications key and a modifier key for NVDA?

Seeking Tutorial on Numbers or Microsoft XL

[Des Delgadillo]

Hi all,

I’ve gotten quite used to Numbers because of work, but I’m far from a power 
user. I’d certainly like to change that.

Does anyone know of a tutorial that will acquaint me with all the necessary 
shortcuts and functions available in either Apple numbers or Microsoft XL? I 
have both on my Mac and just want to master one or both. I was particularly 
fond of Ann Robertson’s E-Book on Pages and wonder if something similar exists 
for Numbers?

Any direction is super appreciated.

Best,

—Des

A few questions about using braille displays to browse the web

[Des Delgadillo]

Hi all,

Please forgive me for the basic question, but up until now I’ve only been using 
my braille display with my iPhone and very occasionally to proof word docs on 
my Mac. I’m wanting to use it more for browsing the web, maybe even using it as 
a bluetooth remote of sorts when I’m too lazy to get up and walk to my laptop 
because it’s 2017.

I notice when reading web pages that links are grouped on the same line. Is 
there a way to navigate to a certain link and click it with only the display 
without having to use the keyboard at all? I notice this same phenomenon with 
the dock. Is this possible or am I just over-estimating the power of the 
braille display?

If anyone can point me to some beginners guides, that might be really helpful 
too.

Thanks in advance for all the direction.

Re: Question About Shortcuts While Interacting with Apple Music

[Des Delgadillo]

Jonathan,

Thanks so much for your direction on this. I really do appreciate it.

One more question, if it’s not too much trouble: Right now the script is set to 
download the current track, but if I wanted to not download it and simply add 
it to my Apple Music library, is there a command for that, or is downloading 
the closest thing? Most of my library is in the cloud.

Thanks again.

How is everyone making ring tones these days?

[Des Delgadillo]

Hi all,

Ever since iTunes discontinued ring tone support, I’ve been wondering how 
everyone’s going about making them? I used to just edit a quick tone and import 
it into iTunes, which would then sync to my iPhone. Is there still a way to do 
that, or is there an app I can download either on my Mac or on iOS? If I 
remember correctly, all the ring tone apps on iOS weren’t the best with VO, but 
that could have changed.

Fully Accessible Torrent Client (details inside)

[Des Delgadillo]

Hi all,

I’ve noticed that for the most part UTorrent is quite accessible on the Mac, 
with one notable exception. When downloading torrent files, the user is able to 
select which files in the torrent they’d like to download, so that if they’re 
downloading a particularly large file, they don’t have to download the entire 
thing but only what is selected. Unfortunately, there doesn’t seem to be an 
accessible way to do this on UTorrent. Does anyone have any tips and tricks for 
how to do this with the program, or are there any other programs that are more 
usable than UTorrent? Any help is greatly appreciated.

Question About Shortcuts While Interacting with Apple Music

[Des Delgadillo]

Hey all,

Not sure if this question has been brought up before, but I was wondering if 
there exists any sort of script or any way of creating keyboard shortcuts to 
better interact with Apple Music on the Mac? For instance, when I hear a song I 
like, I’d ideally like to be able to simply navigate to iTunes, hit one 
keystroke to mark it as “liked” and continue with my business. I’d like to do 
the same with adding songs to my library. Is this doable at all? At present, 
I’d have to navigate to the actions menu and select “like” that way, which 
isn’t the worst thing in the world, but I was just wondering if there was a 
quicker way.

Is it possible to Burn a Windows 10 DVD onto a Thumbdrive to Install on a New Mac?

[Des Delgadillo]

Hi all, please do bear with me as I’m not the most technologically-minded 
person around, but I do pick things up pretty fast.

I have a Windows 10 install DVD, but my Mac doesn’t have a CD drive. I was 
wondering if it’s possible to use a friend’s Mac to burn the DVD onto a thumb 
drive and install onto my Mac that way? If so, how big of a flash drive would I 
need to reliably achieve this task, and how would I go about actually doing the 
burning process?

Also, if anyone has any resources on VM Fusion or any other kind of 
dual-booting software for the Mac, please feel free to share all your knowledge 
and opinions, as I”m still deciding how to do this.

Thanks so much for all your help, and at risk of this ballooning into a large 
topic, feel free to write me off-list to minimize traffic: 
desdelgadi...@gmail.com .

Thanks in advance for all your help.

Re: Collaborating on a Google doc using an iPad mini, iPhone, or a Mac

Personally, ChromeVox is invaluable in learning Google Docs. I tried learning 
it with Voiceover and I got nowhere. Your iOS experience may be better, as I’ve 
heard lots of folks prefer it to the Mac with VO, but ChromeVox really isn’t 
all that hard to learn and works like a charm in Docs, Sheets, and Drive. You 
can even map the ChromeVox key to be the same as the VO key so you don’t have 
to learn all that much.

Getting a Clipping Effect Whenever I Record on My New Mac

[Des Delgadillo]

Hi there,

Not sure if this is the list for this sort of thing, but it happens regardless 
of the application I use, so I thought I’d take a shot.

I got a new Mac last month, a 2016 model that did away with the USB ports, so 
whenever I want to use USB I need to use a special adaptor. Thanks, Apple. When 
I record I use an XLR cable plugged into a USB interface. Whenever I record, 
though, the microphone sounds overloaded even before I talk into it. Could it 
be something with the USB adaptor not transmitting the signal fast enough or 
something? I’m not a techie person so I”m aware that this sounds dumb. I’m just 
not sure where to turn?

Feel free to ask for any specifics. I’ve tried recording on ProTools and Garage 
Band and even just monitored the mic through loopback, all to the same effect.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Best,

—Des

Disabling Voiceover Command for Trackpad Commander

[Des Delgadillo]

Hi all,

Was wondering if it was possible to disable the aforementioned command — Vo + 
counterclockwise turn on the trackpad? My trackpad is currently malfunctioning 
so that ever time I hold down the VO keys the commander turns on and clicks on 
everything. if there’s a way to disable this command from the VO utility or 
elsewhere I’d really appreciate the fix.

Best,

[Des Delgadillo]

Install the Selective Tweets app through Facebook:
https://apps.facebook.com/selectivetwitter/ 
<https://apps.facebook.com/selectivetwitter/>

Enter your Twitter screen name and you’re all done. Any tweets you send out 
that contain the #FB hashtag will also post to Facebook.

Free/Cheap Audio Editor that Works with VO?

[Des Delgadillo]

Hi all,
i’d been using Protools for a few years until recently, as my student 
subscription expired and buying at full price is out of the cards right now.
Looking for a good audio editor that works relatively well on Mac. I’m sure I 
won’t find anything as feature-rich as PT, but any suggestions would help.
A lot of my work includes radio production and imaging as well as small PSA and 
commercial production and occasional radio news packages.
And before anyone suggests it, the new Garage Band is really confusing me. Any 
walkthroughs or tutorials available on that?

Thanks in advance.

Re: Accessibility of cutting the cord

[Des Delgadillo]

Usually with Hulu the shows that need a cable login are made available no more 
than a day after it airs.
It’s not an Apple product but Chromecast has been my go-to lately, especially 
if you have TV shows downloaded to your computer and you use a Chrome plugin 
like Video Stream. That works really well on Mac and is super Voiceover 
compatible.

Re: iTunes next song AppleScript via UI Scripting.

[Des Delgadillo]

Hi,
I’m not too familiar with Apple Script, but what you have in the line you sent 
looks good.

Having it pause at end of song would be a great added function.

Thanks again for your help. I hope this script gets added to the repository.

Hi Jonathan,
Sorry for the delay in responding.
Thank you for the script. Getting the song information in a dialogue box would 
be fine, it would even be ok if VO just read out the song title without 
displaying a dialogue.
I have limited scripting knowledge but I will try to run this script today. Can 
I just copy and paste the text of your script into the script editor?
Thanks again for doing this.

Re: Looking for a VoiceOver Script

[Des Delgadillo]

Jonathan,
I’ve never used the mini browser but I’ll play around with it today. Shouldn’t 
be too much to learn.
Thanks for the recommendation. I’ll download the remote app shortly and let you 
know how that goes.

Re: Looking for a VoiceOver Script

[Des Delgadillo]

Thanks Tim. Yes I have tried your script. My only issue is I wanted to use a 
script like this in order to stream my iTunes playlist for a radio show, so a 
break in the audio wouldn’t work in this particular scenario.
I think I will be using your script for recreational listening though. Thanks 
again.

Looking for a VoiceOver Script

[Des Delgadillo]

Hi all,
Not sure if there is a Vo script that does this, but I would like to be able to 
hit a custom hot key and have Voiceover speak whatever track is going to play 
next on iTunes. I know there are several scripts that voice the current song, 
so I feel like maybe there’s an up next script out there? Maybe?
Any direction here would be appreciated.

Paragraph Styles in the New Pages

[Des Delgadillo]

I primarily use Pages for writing broadcast scripts and working on
screenplays, and not having to do either thing for a few months, I was
pleasantly surprised when I upgraded to the new Pages and found it
significantly less clunky than before. My only question is: Is there
still a way to create hot keys or shortcut combinations for specific
paragraph styles? I can't seem to find that functionality in the
formatter. Typically I use this to create shortcuts for elements of a
screenplay, since it gets very tedious very quickly to keep jumping
from formatter to page text since screenplay elements change so often.

If anyone can answer or point me in the right direction I offer the
sincerest gratitude.

Cutting and Pasting in Finder

[Des Delgadillo]

Hi:
I remember months back chancing on a post in this group that talked about an 
application that allows the user to cut files in the Finder, but I can't 
remember the name of it offhand. Does anyone remember? Please jog my memory.

Thanks,
Des

Re: Installing Mountain Lion on Partition (Probably a very basic question)

[Des Delgadillo]

Thanks, Chris:
I can grab that other external pretty easily. Would there be a way to come 
by a Lion installer? My Macbook came with Lion pre-installed so I wouldn't 
know where to get a hold of the installer. Is that a kosher question?

Best,

Installing Mountain Lion on Partition (Probably a very basic question)

[des delgadillo]

Hi, all:
This might be a very basic question, but I've never done this before. I want to 
install Mountain Lion on another partition of my internal hard drive. I'll try 
my best to detail my situation.
What I want to do is install Mountain Lion, but have lion around in case I ever 
decide to get ProTools. Right now, the hard drive has about 350 GB full and I 
have about 400 GB of free space left on it. So what I want to do is get 
mountain Lion installed on the second partition and get all my Lion settings 
restored onto the second partition from my Time Machine backup. I want the 
first partition, the one still running Lion, to take up as little space as 
possible, since I won't be using Lion for a while.

Does this make sense to everyone, and if not, please let me know what questions 
you have and I'll try and clarify. This is my first time doing this so I'm not 
sure what information is necessary to help.

Thanks very much in advance,

Mac Volume Dying randomly

[des delgadillo]

Hi:

I've been having this problem for a while, but it's been getting more frequent 
lately, so I figured I'd ask about it.
I'll be using my Mac with a set of external speakers, and when I unplug the 
speakers to take the Macbook somewhere else, all sounds will just be gone. The 
computer works just fine, but no sound, whether it's VoiceOver or any system 
audio, just doesn't come through. After I restart, everything works just fine. 
I had to restart my computer twice today because this happened.
Has anyone else had this problem or should I consult my local Genius Bar?
Update: It doesn't just happen when I'm going from external speakers to 
internal speaker. Today the audio died while I was using the internal speaker.

Thanks a lot,

Re: Couple iWorks Questions

[Des Delgadillo]

Thanks very much. This is working rather nicely. I do have one problem 
where at times I can't edit text where I should be able to, but using the 
VO-Shift-Space command seems to fix that. Just out of curiosity, has anyone 
else had that same experience? Why does it happen?

Thanks for the help.

Re: Convincing rehab services to purchase a Mac

[Des Delgadillo]

Hi:
An argument I presented in my proposal to California Rehab was the
added accessibility for Mac as compared to a machine running Windows
and Jaws. I'm a broadcast journalism major, so a Mac just made sense
in my case, because I'd need to do a lot of audio editing and
occasional video and photo work. Programs like that which also work
well with Jaws are hard to come by.
Although maybe your student isn't a broadcast major, but if you could
brainstorm some programs that would work better for them on Mac as
compared to Jaws, that may help to sway your Rehab people for the long
term.
Also present the other arguments shared here, though. My proposal used
a variety of arguments.
Also remember some counsellors have no idea about technology and how
far it has come. Sometimes this could be used to your advantage, but
sometimes it could also make it difficult to present your case. It's
about finding a balance.
Best of luck with this,
--Des

Re: Advice on live streaming a podcast

[Des Delgadillo]

BTR is a good option, but as I recall, it got pretty pricey if you
wanted a longer show, which is why I ultimately decided against it.
I'm not sure how accessible with VO the online switchboard would be,
but it allows you to see who's calling and basically screen your own
calls. If you manage to get it working, do drop us a line and let us
know how it went.
Another option I've tried is Spreaker radio. U-Stream is another
option. You can stream for as long as you'd like there, but your
viewers will see occasional ads during the broadcast.
What i ended up doing was found someone who didn't mind allowing me
access to his internet radio server and used NiceCast. Eventually I'll
link people to the stream on my site, but I haven't had the time to
actually organize a weekly live show as of yet. But it's nice to have
the option now.
Let me know if you have any more questions about the logistics of
doing the live setup.

Couple iWorks Questions

[des delgadillo]

Hello, all:
Few questions for you guys regarding accessibility and whatnot.
First, concerning Pages: As a broadcast journalism student we're required to 
start writing our news scripts in a two-column format, meaning I'll have to 
create a table and write certain information in each column. Thankfully I 
practiced before I got assigned an actual script, because when I tried this in 
Pages last night, I couldn't fill in the table at all. I couldn't even interact 
with it. Am I doing something wrong or do tables just not work with Pages? And 
if not, is there any other word processor I can check out that does support 
tables with VO?

Second, concerning Keynote: I love it a whole lot more than I liked Powerpoint. 
But I haven't created a presentation yet and I'll have to create one soon. Does 
anyone have a comprehensive list of shortcuts or tutorial handy? That could 
save me some time.
Thanks in advance,

Fading Out on Garage band

[des delgadillo]

Hi, list:
I've had this problem for a while, and I've largely learned to work around it. 
Still, if there's a way to actually do it, I'd love to know.
Is there an accessible way to fade out individual tracks on garage band? 
Whenever I select fade out from the track menu while positioned on a 
particular region, the entire project fades out.
Has anyone else had this problem, or is it just me? If anyone knows how to do 
this properly and with Voiceover, do let me know how you did it.

Thanks very much,

Re: Accessible blogging platform

[Des Delgadillo]

Hi:
I used Blogger for a long time, but when I wanted to give it an entirely 
new look and feel I moved to wordpress and haven't regretted it in the 
least. With Wordpress there are all sorts of great shortcuts for posting 
media, should you want to incorporate those sorts of things into your blog.
You can customize your front page on Wordpress with a number of different 
interactive widgets, something I had a lot of trouble with on Blogger. Just 
make sure to tick the Accessibility option or something under the Screen 
options tab. After that you should have no problems with wordpress.
Hope this helps,

Protools Primers or Other Tutorials?

[des delgadillo]

Hi everyone:
First time writing into the list, though I've taken quite a few gems from the 
discussions on here, so thank you for that.
I'm wondering if anyone knows of a comprehensive tutorial, be it in podcast or 
written form, on using Protools with Voiceover. I'll need to start using it 
soon for a class and I'd like to at least have an idea of how the basic things 
work before I jump in.
Thanks in advance,
