Re: M1 Mac mini just beeps

[Paul Mimms]

it will probably be most effective to use something like AIRA or be my eyes, if 
not a sighted person, to tell you what’s going on by viewing the screen. Wish I 
could come up with an answer but I hope you can find one yourself soon.

Scanning software that works with Mac

[Paul Mimms]

I'm sure someone can advise me on what is a workable solution for scanning on a 
Mac. I have found recently that docuscan plus will not work with my new scanner 
printer combo. What is the software works with Mac, especially with the  
printer scanner combos that offer wireless scanning. Thanks in advance to any 
and all.

Re: Watching films on Ipad.

[Paul Mimms]

I hope I’m right here in saying that if you buy films from places like the 
iTunes Store you have them stored in the cloud and you can access them anywhere 
through your iTunes account. However if you’re doing Netflix you simply watch 
online. I don’t know what other sources you are using to get your films but it 
could make a difference. Hope this helps at least a tiny bit. also, whatever 
you can do on your phone, you can probably do on your iPhone, given that your 
phone is an iPhone.

Press the command key plus F5 to start a voiceover. If you accidentally muted 
the speech tap the trackpad twice with three fingers to unmute it.

Re: airpods pro

[Paul Mimms]

One thing to try is looking on Amazon for ear hooks. They attached to the stem 
of the AirPods, all three series. The hook goes around your ear and does pretty 
well and keeping them in your ear rather than on the ground. That’s especially 
useful if you’re only using one at a time

I definitely have noticed this behavior. I thought it was just me and that I

Re: VO bug logging in with Filevolt enabled

I guess I get the same results as the rest of you are getting when my 2014 MBP 
running Sierra boots up . it doesn't say anything until it starts up then it 
asks for username, and I found out that  after I  type the username, I can tab 
and it will prompt  for the password. Then I tap enter aget the three beeps and 
proceed into the syhstem.

Re: getting AirPods to switch to different devices?

[Paul Mimms]

I can believe that this is how they work. Otherwise, I can see walking around 
the house with an iPhone, and Apple Watch, going to my iPad, and have them 
switch to my Mac.! :-) Let's keep in touch as we work this out.

 Even with the volume as high as it will go, the sound on my AirPods just

 suggesting you cycle Bluetooth off and on on your iPhone, but this did not

Re: Opinions wanted: AirPods vs Aftershokz

[Paul Mimms]

Actually, I find the comfort can actually be a problem with the AirPods. They 
are so comfortable to me, that I can actually drop one and not realize it 
because they're not so noticeable when you wear them. As for music and call 
quality. They are much better than the aftershocks, in my experience. I also 
found the strap on Amazon so you could join the two if you do fear dropping one 
or both. You can also buy what they call ear hooks, but my first experience was 
that they didn't allow the AirPods to disengage when removed from the year. So 
I'm back to using a strap at times, but taking one out when walking.

Try going into Bluetooth on the particular device, and you should see the 
AirPods there and tap on it to pair.

I believe you can use option command plus down arrow to go to the bottom or

Re: word processing question

[Paul Mimms]

Office 2016 for Mac is accessible. I won't say it's perfect, but it is very 
usable, and that you access made the features you were used to when you were 
working with windows. I used interchangeably with pages, depending out what I 
need to do.

Re: new ideas that people think would be good ideas to program

How about a banking account program that will print checks, such as the 3-part

 Hello everyone.
 
 Due to past and recent posts on the subject, I’ve been recently inspired to 
 start a desktop bible project for the Mac.  I’ve even found a suitable data 
 set to use.  However, I happened to run across the sight of the company that 
 owns the rights to the Scourby narration and it appears that they all ready 
 have something in the works.  It is at http://scourby.com.  It appears that 
 they already have an IOS version that is usable with Voiceover.  I personally 
 own the CD set and I can say that Scourby’s narration is amazing.
 
 I would like to hear any feedback in regards to whether or not there is any 
 need for  pursuing such a project.  If their approach isn’t what people hear 
 are looking for etc.  If not, then what are people looking for in a Bible 
 app?  It certainly wouldn’t be practical for me to incorporate Scourby’s 
 narration into an app as they own the rights and even if I got permission, 
 they could revoke it any time they so choosed.
 Thanks.

Re: Bluetooth Headsets and VoiceOver

[Paul Mimms]

I have experienced the same frustrating and disappointing circumstances.
On 10/15/2012 11:17 PM, Timothy Hornik wrote:

I am trying to set up a bluetooth headset, LG Tone, on a Mac Mini with 10.8.2. 
My goal is to use the headset for VoiceOver, and an audio system for playing 
the various sounds like movies and music. I was able to have everything set up 
properly, but noticed every time I disconnected or turned off the bluetooth 
headset, I would lose VoiceOver altogether. The settings in VoiceOver Sounds 
has output to default. This theoretically means the bluetooth set and then 
internal speaker when the headset is disconnected. Additionally, I receive an 
error message stating that an error occurred with the audio headset and if I 
would stop using it. When I reconnect the bluetooth headset, I have to simply 
restart my system as Voice Over no longer is broadcasted through any of the 
speaker options.

The main system preferences sound output is set to the main external speakers. 
I had to additionally change my output in VLC, as it was set to default like 
Voice Over is.

Any Ideas? I am just not properly disconnecting something?

Subject: found scanning program for the Mac

Hi guys.
I wanted to tell y'all about the scanning program that I saw at the 
exhibits at NFB today. True, it costs $1200, but it comes with a 
camera sort of like the Purl camera.


I had to get it going for them because the guy that knew about it 
wasn't at the table at the time I showed up. He came right after I 
got it going. It wouldn't talk at first. Who knows where it was on 
the screen. Like OpenBook, you don't use the screen reader while it's 
running. However, I had to turn their VoiceOver on, press command q 
and get out of their program, and then call it back up again, after I 
turned off their track pad. The person that was sitting there keeping 
watch while the developer was gone for a little bit, I guess was a 
Windows user. Anyway, I got the program going.


The developer that came back was very knowledgeable. He told me they 
had a former Kurzweil engineer with them. When I did the scan, it 
reading was incredibly good, even in the light my husband said was 
glaring on the paper.


I have a Purl camera I am considering selling. It doesn't have much 
use on it, and maybe I ought to sell OpenBook while I'm at it. 
However, I don't know if I can. The state gave me OpenBook, but I 
bought the Purl camera myself. I'll have to find out what I can do 
about OpenBook.

I'm still a new Mac user, so perhaps I am just doing something wrong,

If Pandora is not accessible with VoiceOver, can other users recommend

Re: Mac feel natural

[Paul Mimms]

Most of us are more comfortable with what we have become familiar with 
using, therefore what is easier.  You may find you just need to stop 
making the decision whether to use the MacBook or the PC and remove the 
PC from consideration.  Make the MacBook the only computer you use and 
make it work for you just as you did with the PC at one time.

Re: Qwerty keyboard case for ipad 1

[Paul Mimms]

You might want to look at the ZaggMate from Zagg.com.  The keyboaard does not 
slide out but is stored beneath the iPad in a kind of clamshell configuration 
that allows the Ipad and keyboard to protect each other.  The keyboard is built 
into the ZaggMate and the  Ipad flips over and fits snugly on top of the 
ZaggMate and its built-in bluetooth keyboard.

Re: iPad (3G/WiFi) vs iPhone/iPod Touch

[Paul Mimms]

Nothing makes the iPad essential to blind users, but it is a viable 
alternative.  Many say they like the situation of having all the apps 
and functions on one device.  that works fine until the phone rings, and 
many times whatever ap you were working with is termainatted, and will 
need to be restarted after hanging up the call.

Hi folks.

I mean, we don't need to see the larger screen wich can be great for
those partially sighted.
So therefor we can get the same out of the iPhone or iPod Touch.
I don't know if I'm right or wrong in this, but I'd like to see a
constructive little discussion about why we blind should have an iPad

Life is a challenge, and meeting the challenge is my life.  Not everyone likes 
working in the limited space presented by the iPhone screen.  The iPad has a 
better sounding speaker.

I like the larger real estate, and I use iPad with the Zaggmate, which is an 
aluminum case in which the iPad stores and includes a built-in bluetooth 
keyboard.  It only adds .25 inch to the thickness of the iPad and about 7 
ounces to the weight.

I don't know that there is anything that makes the iPad better than an iPod 
touch or an iPhone, with the exception of the iPhone's ability to make phone 
calls.  for the user who likes phone service on Sprint, T-Mobile or other 
carriers, iPod and iPad are alternative additions to an arsenal of portalbe 
electronics.  iPad is a better choice for the family/couple that shares a 
device, particularly if one partner/member is sighted and would enjoy the 
larger image.

Just like there are Fords, Chevies, and BMW's, there are different choices 
among iDevices.  What matters is what you choose to use to get from here to 
there.

Re: macbook air vs ipad 2

[Paul Mimms]

Look into an app called USB disk that can work with iPad to export and 
import files.  That is assuming you need to access files for some reason 
while you are away from home.  You might also consider one of the eprint 
printers that will print from iDevices and other mobile devices 
wirelessly using Airplay.  Of course, there is still Drop box, Evernote, 
and the like that can be used for file sharing between an iPad and PC.

media like a usb drive, is there?
my other alternative is that i can get the macbook air. but its a little 
bigger. i really don't need a screen. but i would have a port for external 
media. of course i would miss all of those apps you can have on the ipad.
that can be negated by the fact that i have an iphone.
well, i would be interested in hearing from those with the air. i know the ipad 
2 is not out yet, but i'm sure there are some first generation ipad users here.

Re: macbook air vs ipad 2

[Paul Mimms]

It is true that the camera kit for the iPad cannot be used for transfer 
of data other than photos.  As for compactness, the ZaggMate from 
zagg.com is an aluminum case which combines a BT keyboard while adding 
only .25 inch to the thickness of the iPad itself, and there are other 
cases for iPad that include a BT keyboard


On 3/4/2011 10:17 AM, Mary Otten wrote:

Donna,
The original IPad does not have a usb port. You can get that camera kit as an 
extra, but my understanding was that you can't use external media evenfor file 
transfer or extra storage,  with the usb port provided by that accessory. If 
that's wrong, I'm sure somebody will correct me.
