Please allow for the fact that it's been a while since I last installed Windows 7 via Fusion: 1. You may use VO with Fusion. One feature of Fusion is that it practically automates the Windows installation process. However, make no mistake about this, one must still make one or two selections during the Windows setup process that VO cannot access. So, unless this has changed in the last month or so, one still needs a bit of sighted assistance. VoiceOver is a Mac product not a Windows product so when you have Windows running as a virtual machine, VO is inactive. At least, this was my experience. Perhaps I over looked something during the installation process. If so, I welcome correction on this.

How and what do I look for to play audio cd and books, things like that? I don't want it to use ITunes and that keeps happening. I thought quick player would work, but that didn't do it either unless I'm missing something, which is possible, smile. So any help with this part would be great as well.

You'll need to download this from: http://www.videolan.org/vlc/ You can also use QuickTime player, which is installed on your Mac, if you select a track and use the Get Info (Command-I) dialog as James outlined for VLC. Use item chooser menu (VO-I) to find Open with and VO-Right arrow to the pop up button. VO-Space and use your arrow keys to change the setting from iTunes to QuickTime player, or to VLC if you've installed it. Then VO-Right arrow past Use this application to open all documents like this to the Change all button and press with VO-Space. If you navigate to Open with and hear collapsed disclosure triangle use VO-Space to expand it so you can read the information under the Open with options. HTH. Cheers, Esther James wrote: Hi May, You could try VLC Player. I don't have a URL for it but you'll find it on Google. VLC will not play Audible books though as far as I know though so you'll need ITunes for that. Also, once you have VLC installed you can use Command I to bring up the Get Info dialogue on your audio file and change the default player from ITunes to VLC. This will play all your files in VLC after this at least it should do.

I received this device in the mail today, and there is no way one can connect it to the mini. So, I am back to square one. This means that I either take this computer back to the Apple store or purchase a chap monitor. I hope I can find a monitor that is not made by Apple that will work.

The braille display is the better part of the hardware, in my opinion. My experience with the pac mate and street talk, is that: 1, the gps receiver provided with the package can be far too tardy in tracking satelites, or being tracked by them, take your pick. 2, you need a blue tooth card installed in one of the cf slots, and your maps installed in the other, which means you need to do some jiggling around and setting up before you can get going. 3, I found that the entire setup was a hoffible drain on the pm battery.

On Jul 19, 2009, at 6:33 AM, patrickneazer wrote: Hello Simon and all: One question you might want to consider is the issue of expandability. I am a user of a nokia 6650 with Mobile Speak and I love it. However, the number of applications that will work with it is not as robust as the Iphone. Second, while both my Mobile Speak and voiceover upgrades are free, the method of upgrading is quite different. I do not know about talks because I have never used it. However, if it is anything like Mobile Speak I cannot upgrade it independently. The only reason I make a point of this is the ability of being able to keep up with the latest updates to a system rather than being one step behind. Furthermore, does it make sense to have to pay a transfer cost if you either lose your phone or decide you want or need a new one. In the case of Mobile Speak, if you change phones for whatever reason there is a transfer cost. I do not know how it works with Talks. If I want another Iphone I just get another Iphone without incurring any additional costs for things beyond my control which may have resulted in the phone's loss or just for the freedom of wanting something different. There are a few more reasons I can mention though I will point out only one more ... with this arrangement of the Iphone and ATT, the entire customer service flow is for the first time under one roof. If I have a problem with the Iphone I am able to take it to ATT and they can be of assistance without necessarily farming it out to someone else and if they do farm it out to someone else ... that would be Apple and they would know that I am on the way (smile). With Mobile Speak it could be a mobile speak issue which I would have to go to Code Factory, it could be a phone problem where Nokia would have to be called in, it could be a billing problem where the Phone company would have to be tapped and, if I had a problem with the actual purchase of Mobile Speak and I did not purchase it from Code Factory I then would have to deal with ATT's office of national disability concerns which is a completely separate operation from ATT. I like the one umbrella that the Iphone has the potential to provide. I have both and love both and see the advantages to each. Just my two cents contributed to the discussion. No matter what your final conclusion, it will be a good one. Take good care.

Hi May, No, you don't need to have a numeric keypad if you want to put Windows on your Mac. The usual issue is that people who put Windows onto curremt Mac laptops using VMWare Fusion end up having to remap the JAWS insert key to another key. On the older Mac laptops which had embedded numeric keypads, you would use the 0 key of the (embedded) number pad. There are a couple of ways to handle key remapping -- either you use a free program called Spark, which is basically a Windows registry hack, and allows you to choose a key from one list view window and map it to another key you select in a second list view to remap, or you can do this under Fusion preferences with a one-time connection to a full-size keyboard, where you physically press the key you want to remap. (The Fusion method works for remapping keys in any operating system -- could be linux, for example). This is only an issue with the Mac laptop setups where you're not using a full-size keyboard, and is easily solved. I don't have Windows installed on my Mac, but there are several other list users who do, and who could answer your questions in more detail.

Re: NLS digital books and future versions of iTunes,iPod, iPhone?
Hey, that would be a good idea. Then I could sell my victor stream along with my trekker. May off to Edmonton Alberta on the 25th. Am I ready to see some people there? - Original Message - From: Jenny Kennedy (Howard) blueskyes9112...@gmail.com To: macvisionaries@googlegroups.com Sent: Tuesday, July 14, 2009 8:26 PM Subject: NLS digital books and future versions of iTunes,iPod, iPhone? Hi guys, Well it looks as if the NLS here in the U.S. is going to be rolling out their long awaited digital talkingbooks and players in a few months program wide. For a while there have been beta testers that have used assorted aspects of the program's hardware and software. The digital talking books are going to be put on flash memory and people who have the victor reader stream have been able to download digital files of the books to play on their players for a while. You have to register for the service and receive a special file that you load onto the stream from what I understand and it pinpoints you as a registered NLS user and allows you to use the download-able files. Well I am wondering if it would be possible for Apple to team up with NLS like they've done with Audible and allow iTunes, future iPods and or the iPhone to play the NLS DTBs? I am thinking it would be the best thing in the world if I could put NLS books in iTunes and on my iPod. This can be done but it is against the law and cumbersome and time consuming. LOL and it would be just better in my way of thinking if NLS DTBs would just go on the iPod all on their own without much fuss or muss. Do you all think this could be done and is it something anyone else would like to see? How would people e go about telling Apple to look into this or like I said is it even possible?

My intention was to go and look at the iPhone, and probably walk out with one if I liked what I saw. However, due to the lengthy process of making a purchase, the apple store stopped selling iPhones about an hour and a half before they closed. I showed up 5 minutes after this cutoff time, but was encouraged to look at the display model as long as I liked until close. Upon enquiring about having a sales person turn on Voiceover, they called on another rep who had more experience with Vo. Turns out, he has some form of visual impairment, which causes him to have to use the zoom feature. He knew right where vo was, and turned it on for me. Now, the journey begins. My immediate observation was that of many other people. Vo is too quiet, even with the volume cranked. In a store with a great deal of background noise, I found vo somewhat hard to hear. Should have followed my gut instinct and brought a headset along with me. My first 10 minutes with the phone was met with some uncertainty. I was successfully able to explore the phone and open several apps. However, I found the sensitivity of the touch screen a bit strange. While dragging my finger along the icons, some would open at random. At first, I found myself quite lost inside of the apps I was opening. However, I soon found a consistent pattern to how these apps are laid out. Once I realized this, I was better able to navigate around several apps. I was soon successfully able to dial my own phone number, making my cell phone ring in my pocket. Then, using my cell phone, I was able to call the display model, answering and ending said call. In the iPod app, I was able to choose a playlist and start it playing. I was able to then pause, advance to next track, etc. I even found myself able to locate the transport button I wanted without thinking. I guess that's where muscle memory really starts to come into play. I was not, however, able to bend my head around how to drag a slider, such as the icon that allows you to advance through a song. I think there was a tutor message, which would have given me those instructions, but I accidentally interrupted it, and was unable to get it to tell me again. My cursory glance of mail yielded few results. I saw the messages, was able to open one and sort of read it. However, I was not fully able to bend my head around it's layout. I couldn't find the compose button, and I didn't understand the relationships between the message and the mailboxes. I would assume that the mailbox list would be on the left, and the messages on the right. I thought that's how it would look, but I'm not sure. Safari was a bit interesting as well. I didn't spend but a few minutes looking at it, and was a tad confused because I saw part of a web page, along

Then again, if your used to the Mac environment, the iPHone will appeal a bit more as well. So, I hear what your saying, but I'd have to at this point say the interface would likely be more to my liking. Other than that, as I said, it will come down to experience and like Alex pointed out, this is the closest you get to what a sighted user experiences as well. Now is that a qualifier?

When it comes right down to it, cost, cost, and cost. All the adaptive solutions you mention cost lots of money. I'm by no means unable to afford the adaptive solutions, but I also realize that the adaptive market is small and the cost will be considerably more do to the limited market. However, why should I pay oh, maybe $150 for the phone, $300 or so for the screen reader, and then another $895 for the GPS solution. So, now I have invested $1,345 into a phone that will get me around and generally offer me fairly accessible benefits to some apps. Where now with the iPhone I can spend $199 or $299 and get great access to pretty much anything I need, tight integration with my Mac without needing a third-party app that I would likely have to pay for, and a future of other capabilities that will not cost me nearly as much. So, really in my opinion I'd rather spend the money on other things and really to be honest, it always will come down to what works for you and fits within your budget. If you are happy with the setup you have, then that is great and I am pleased for you. However, the other thing here is choice and that is probably a close second in my book. Having choice is great and yes, it is also great that I can just go to the Apple store and buy the phone if I choose to do so and be up and running right away. I don't have to unregister and reregister a phone etc. Now of course don't take my message as picking on you or any of the developers of the software, I'm merely answering your question with my opinion.

All this to say if you decide to purchase a Mac, consider carefully all the things you will want to do. There is nothing worse than plunking down a chunk of change to find you didn't make the best choice. Good luck, p to an 80Gb or 160Gb drive.

Hi Mae, The iMac is the apple version of a full featured desktop computer. They have another desktop that lots of people use as a home entertainment hub called the Mac Mini. It's all the features of a CPU but you provide things like speakers, keyboard/mouse monitor. Then there are the notebook computers the macbook, macbook pro which has more power and some different options than the macbook and the macbook air which is a smaller lighter sort of notebook, I think they call them sub-notebooks? But not as small as these netbook things that seem to be all the rage.
