Re: inserting an insert
Hi! Here is a post from Eric Caron about changing keys to do what you would like! Colin! I'm pasting the text below from my old message to the list. I cleaned it up a little. This is the information used to change your caps lock key to the VO or Control and Option keys held down together. I also use the added bonus of the caps lock working as the insert key in VM Fusion Running the Jaws screen reader. And, the KeyRemap4Macbook application also creates a built in number pad on the mac laptop and bluetooth keyboard making the num pad commander now more available. This has been one of the best changes I have ever made to my mac. I hope you and others are finding it helpful. Eric Caron info follows: Below I've written out the steps needed to have the Voice Over Keys, Control and Option, mapped to the caps lock key. This allows a Voice over user to use caps lock with keys that might be difficult to reach with the standard Control Option VO keys. In addition this new setting now automatically creates Caps Lock as the modifier in a VM machine. Finally the application creates a number pad on the standard keyboard centred around the letter i. This is a update to my earlier podcast. Takayama Fumihiko, the developer of these applications has changed KeyRemapper4Macbook, making it much easier to set up the computer to use the caps lock as the VO keys. Below I will write out the steps to complete the set up. I will also include a link to a recently completed podcast that walks through the new set up. this is much shorter then the previous podcast as it is much easier to complete the steps. The podcast is 25 minutes long but the last 4 minutes is for those who all ready use the applications and want to update. - Here are the steps needed to have a number pad added to your keyboard, have caps lock work as a Voice Over Key, and have the Caps lock work as the Jaws key or similar modifier in other screen readers used in VM Fusion. Go to the developer web site and download and install both KeyRemap4MacBook and PCKeyboardHack. http://pqrs.org/macosx/keyremap4macbook/pckeyboardhack-usage.html.en Be sure you restart your computer at the end of the install. Now go to System Preferences and to Keyboard. Change the behaviour of the Caps lock key to no action. Now also in System Preferences under Other you will find both PCKeyboardhack and Keyremap4Macbook. go to PCKeyboardhack and in the settings tab in the first table check the box for change caps lock behaviour then interact on the field that currently reads 51. Press enter after interacting, then change the number to 110. This changes the caps lock key to the windows Application key. then close the application Still in System Preferences and in the Other category go to KeyRemap4Macbook. In the Change Key tab move over to the search field and type in blind voice over without the quotes. then arrow right over to the table. Interact and you should be on the correct setting. arrow to the check box and select it. Close the application. The new setting name is Use Caps Lock as Voice Over key. Now if you press the caps lock key it will act as if you are pressing the Control and Option keys. You have the original VO keys to use. as this only changes the caps lock key. Also If you press the FN key and letter i you will find it is a 5 and the rest of the number pad is there. If you turn on num pad commander you can now use the Voice Over controls with this number pad. For VM Fusion users you have another bonus. The caps lock key will now act as the Jaws key if you are using a VM Fusion machine with windows. The Keyremap4macbook application can be used instead of sharp keys or the VM fusion key settings. they should not be used to try to control the same keys at the same time. The Keyremap4macbook needs to be version 7.8.17, or later. In VMware Fusion, the Help key will be interpreted as Insert Key. As this is often the screen reader modifier in Windows screen readers it will now work as the caps lock key. for more information here is a helpful link. http://kb.vmware.com/selfservice/microsites/search.do?cmd=displayKCexternalId=1001675 Here are the steps to update KeyRemap4Macbook if you followed the original podcast and used the Private XML. this is only for those who Please remember this is donation supported. You will find the donation link at the same location you downloaded the applications. Below is the link to the new podcast. that walks through these steps. http://www.applevis.com/podcast/episodes/new-updated-remapping-keys-your-macs-keyboard-enhance-voiceover-experience On 28 Jun 2014, at 08:40, Christopher Hallsworth christopher...@gmail.com wrote: Try the grave or accent key instead.

[Kosh Babylon 5 2258] On 13 May 2014, at 00:12, Jonathan Mosen jmo...@mosen.org wrote: Hi Gigi and all, I'd like to try and set some expectations regarding what customers should expect from what companies when it comes to Braille displays. Kawl wrote to me a few days ago, and once we got past some terminology, I established what he wanted was the ability to install Focus Blue firmware updates via the Mac. Freedom Scientific presently doesn't produce any Mac software, but I agree that it's not unreasonable to hope that if you've brought some hardware to run on your Mac, you can upgrade it via that Mac. I can't give any commitments at this point but I do want you and the list to know that the request has been passed on and it is being taken seriously. Certainly firmware upgrades are the responsibility of the Braille display manufacturer, whoever that manufacturer is. There is another issue, and that involves some displays apparently not working on certain variations of Mac. In this case, if the device is working properly in all other situations, this is most likely to be an issue for Apple to resolve. Any screen reader developer, in this case VoiceOver, writes their own drivers to interface with a Braille display. The only drivers Freedom Scientific write are for JAWS, which they also produce. From time to time, something may happen which breaks support for certain displays, and naturally this is highly frustrating for those affected. I'm using the Focus 40 Blue regularly on a Mac with no issues. This doesn't help anyone who is having trouble, but it does suggest that the problem may be isolated to certain kinds of Mac, or even certain kinds of Mac produced at a certain time, so Apple Accessibility is your best bet for this. Like any tricky software issue, the more data Apple can get, I'm sure the more likely it will be that they can isolate and ultimately solve the problem. I hope that's of some help.

Re: a few questions about VMWare Fusion
Hi Tristan! A old post here about getting a Num pad on a Macbook or bluetooth keyboard and a link to a podcast showing how to install! Other benefits for people using Windows in a virtual machine as well! Its all there to hear! HTH Colin I'm pasting the text below from my old message to the list. I cleaned it up a little. This is the information used to change your caps lock key to the VO or Control and Option keys held down together. I also use the added bonus of the caps lock working as the insert key in VM Fusion Running the Jaws screen reader. And, the KeyRemap4Macbook application also creates a built in number pad on the mac laptop and bluetooth keyboard making the num pad commander now more available. This has been one of the best changes I have ever made to my mac. I hope you and others are finding it helpful. Eric Caron info follows: Below I've written out the steps needed to have the Voice Over Keys, Control and Option, mapped to the caps lock key. This allows a Voice over user to use caps lock with keys that might be difficult to reach with the standard Control Option VO keys. In addition this new setting now automatically creates Caps Lock as the modifier in a VM machine. Finally the application creates a number pad on the standard keyboard centred around the letter i. This is a update to my earlier podcast. Takayama Fumihiko, the developer of these applications has changed KeyRemapper4Macbook, making it much easier to set up the computer to use the caps lock as the VO keys. Below I will write out the steps to complete the set up. I will also include a link to a recently completed podcast that walks through the new set up. this is much shorter then the previous podcast as it is much easier to complete the steps. The podcast is 25 minutes long but the last 4 minutes is for those who all ready use the applications and want to update. - Here are the steps needed to have a number pad added to your keyboard, have caps lock work as a Voice Over Key, and have the Caps lock work as the Jaws key or similar modifier in other screen readers used in VM Fusion. Go to the developer web site and download and install both KeyRemap4MacBook and PCKeyboardHack. http://pqrs.org/macosx/keyremap4macbook/pckeyboardhack-usage.html.en Be sure you restart your computer at the end of the install. Now go to System Preferences and to Keyboard. Change the behaviour of the Caps lock key to no action. Now also in System Preferences under Other you will find both PCKeyboardhack and Keyremap4Macbook. go to PCKeyboardhack and in the settings tab in the first table check the box for change caps lock behaviour then interact on the field that currently reads 51. Press enter after interacting, then change the number to 110. This changes the caps lock key to the windows Application key. then close the application Still in System Preferences and in the Other category go to KeyRemap4Macbook. In the Change Key tab move over to the search field and type in blind voice over without the quotes. then arrow right over to the table. Interact and you should be on the correct setting. arrow to the check box and select it. Close the application. The new setting name is Use Caps Lock as Voice Over key. Now if you press the caps lock key it will act as if you are pressing the Control and Option keys. You have the original VO keys to use. as this only changes the caps lock key. Also If you press the FN key and letter i you will find it is a 5 and the rest of the number pad is there. If you turn on num pad commander you can now use the Voice Over controls with this number pad. For VM Fusion users you have another bonus. The caps lock key will now act as the Jaws key if you are using a VM Fusion machine with windows. The Keyremap4macbook application can be used instead of sharp keys or the VM fusion key settings. they should not be used to try to control the same keys at the same time. The Keyremap4macbook needs to be version 7.8.17, or later. In VMware Fusion, the Help key will be interpreted as Insert Key. As this is often the screen reader modifier in Windows screen readers it will now work as the caps lock key. for more information here is a helpful link. http://kb.vmware.com/selfservice/microsites/search.do?cmd=displayKCexternalId=1001675 Here are the steps to update KeyRemap4Macbook if you followed the original podcast and used the Private XML. this is only for those who Please remember this is donation supported. You will find the donation link at the same location you downloaded the applications.

So just down to if you can afford them! HTH Colin On 6 May 2014, at 18:45, Christina C. blindmaclo...@gmail.com wrote: The Motorola S11-flex HD does. I wanted ear buds instead of headphones. I have to say, that these work great but I have a really tiny head and wished they were a bit smaller. They pair very nicely with my iPhone 5S. The range on them is super great and that is why I kept them even though they are not a perfect fit for me. I use them while doing chores around the house and so I did not want to always wonder if my phone or other bluetooth device is nearby. They also never fall out. I still need to try some other bluetooth headsets as I really prefer not to wear giant things covering my head. I like to be able to move one ear piece aside so I can hear the kids. :) Christina Sent from Christina's iMac :) On May 5, 2014, at 4:13 PM, Alex Hall mehg...@icloud.com wrote: The Aftershokz do this.

Re: setting up a commander
Hi Jessica! A old post here about getting a Num pad on a Macbook or bluetooth keyboard and a link to a podcast showing how to install! Other benefits for people using Windows in a virtual machine as well! Its all there to hear! I'm pasting the text below from my old message to the list. I cleaned it up a little. This is the information used to change your caps lock key to the VO or Control and Option keys held down together. I also use the added bonus of the caps lock working as the insert key in VM Fusion Running the Jaws screen reader. And, the KeyRemap4Macbook application also creates a built in number pad on the mac laptop and bluetooth keyboard making the num pad commander now more available. This has been one of the best changes I have ever made to my mac. I hope you and others are finding it helpful. Eric Caron info follows: Below I've written out the steps needed to have the Voice Over Keys, Control and Option, mapped to the caps lock key. This allows a Voice over user to use caps lock with keys that might be difficult to reach with the standard Control Option VO keys. In addition this new setting now automatically creates Caps Lock as the modifier in a VM machine. Finally the application creates a number pad on the standard keyboard centred around the letter i. This is a update to my earlier podcast. Takayama Fumihiko, the developer of these applications has changed KeyRemapper4Macbook, making it much easier to set up the computer to use the caps lock as the VO keys. Below I will write out the steps to complete the set up. I will also include a link to a recently completed podcast that walks through the new set up. this is much shorter then the previous podcast as it is much easier to complete the steps. The podcast is 25 minutes long but the last 4 minutes is for those who all ready use the applications and want to update. - Here are the steps needed to have a number pad added to your keyboard, have caps lock work as a Voice Over Key, and have the Caps lock work as the Jaws key or similar modifier in other screen readers used in VM Fusion. Go to the developer web site and download and install both KeyRemap4MacBook and PCKeyboardHack. http://pqrs.org/macosx/keyremap4macbook/pckeyboardhack-usage.html.en Be sure you restart your computer at the end of the install. Now go to System Preferences and to Keyboard. Change the behaviour of the Caps lock key to no action. Now also in System Preferences under Other you will find both PCKeyboardhack and Keyremap4Macbook. go to PCKeyboardhack and in the settings tab in the first table check the box for change caps lock behaviour then interact on the field that currently reads 51. Press enter after interacting, then change the number to 110. This changes the caps lock key to the windows Application key. then close the application Still in System Preferences and in the Other category go to KeyRemap4Macbook. In the Change Key tab move over to the search field and type in blind voice over without the quotes. then arrow right over to the table. Interact and you should be on the correct setting. arrow to the check box and select it. Close the application. The new setting name is Use Caps Lock as Voice Over key. Now if you press the caps lock key it will act as if you are pressing the Control and Option keys. You have the original VO keys to use. as this only changes the caps lock key. Also If you press the FN key and letter i you will find it is a 5 and the rest of the number pad is there. If you turn on num pad commander you can now use the Voice Over controls with this number pad. For VM Fusion users you have another bonus. The caps lock key will now act as the Jaws key if you are using a VM Fusion machine with windows. The Keyremap4macbook application can be used instead of sharp keys or the VM fusion key settings. they should not be used to try to control the same keys at the same time. The Keyremap4macbook needs to be version 7.8.17, or later. In VMware Fusion, the Help key will be interpreted as Insert Key. As this is often the screen reader modifier in Windows screen readers it will now work as the caps lock key. for more information here is a helpful link. http://kb.vmware.com/selfservice/microsites/search.do?cmd=displayKCexternalId=1001675 Here are the steps to update KeyRemap4Macbook if you followed the original podcast and used the Private XML. this is only for those who Please remember this is donation supported. You will find the donation link at the same location you downloaded the applications. Below is the link to the new podcast. that walks through these steps. http://www.applevis.com/podcast/episodes/new-updated-remapping-keys-your-macs-keyboard-enhance-voiceover-experience On 30 Apr 2014, at 11:42, Jessica jldai...@gmail.com wrote: I do not have a number

Hi! The method I like is make a empty playlist then go to the album if you want to add a whole album and in order just select all the tracks and bring up VO+shift+m and arrow down to the add to playlist sub menu, find the playlist and just hit enter! Also if you add music just going through tracks in order [but not the order you want them to play] after they are in the playlist when you go into that playlist and wish to change the order Cut and paste works!

Re: 30-second Delay Before Voiceover Speaks Time
Hi! You have not mentioned about the [control voiceover by apple scripts check box] So I was wondering if you have that checked or if it has become unchecked! VO utility [VO+f8 and you should be on general just arrow across to find that check box and if unchecked just check it! *smile* That should fix that problem!

Re: Inverting colours
Hi! I'm sorry I was not clear enough, so for any others reading this! 1, go to system pref's and select keyboard. 2, select the shortcuts tab. 3, select the accessibility category in the table. 4, in the table of key strokes find invert colours and interact with it until you hear VO say editing text, then press the key combination you wish to use [making sure that key stroke is not used for anything else] and VO should say selection replaced, arrow left and back to see if your selection is now there and if so just quit Pref's and off you go!

Ok! This one has me stumped, I've got a few music clips on the iMac somewhere but to find the files location seems to be impossible! The Trash is completely empty and doing a search using the correct spelling on the whole iMac brings up no results! But in things like Speakable items or even Skype the options to pick these clips are there and if picked will play! I would like to convert a couple to iPhone ringtones and I cannot get these clips anywhere else! So any suggestions on where to look? *smile* PS doing a spotlight search brings up no results either!

Re: Possible Fix for Busy Finder
Hi! OK just in case did you open the folder with Command+O or with the arrows? If with arrows you might find the items pasted like it did for you!

In column view, you can just highlight the folder you want to paste into and hit command v. In list view, you have to first open the folder. A good way to make sure you're on the right destination folder is to check what folder name finder shows in the title bar by vo left arrowing past the toolbar. Whatever name is reported there is the folder that will receive your pasted items. On Nov 14, 2013, at 4:21 PM, Alex Hall mehg...@gmail.com wrote: The only other view that seems usable is List View.

I know what I can do to work around it, but I just had a frustrating time trying to copy a folder because of this. Personally, instead of setting things over, I'm just going to keep going like I am until this bug gets squashed, I hope ASAP. I think doing work arounds is better than trying to redo your system to work around this. Greetings Eugenia, Thanks for contacting Apple Accessibility. Unfortunately this is an issue that our Engineers are already investigating. This only happens with VO enabled and browsing in Column view. It can occur if a folder has anywhere from 30 files or over 500. I apologize that there is nothing that can be done at this time to fix this issue. Not even a reinstall will help. You will have to browse the Finder in another view such as List. The only real fix for this issue will come packaged in a software update. I also apologize that I am unable to provide if and when this update will be released. I hope you're at least able to get used to List view until we can take care of this one.

So go to general, then accessibility, then voiceover, then language rotor, and select the languages you want to add to the language rotor. That way you can just switch between them and the date and time regional settings should be set to your default.

Ok, for those who were having the issue with youtube videos being muted in the browser, turns out it was an issue with youtube. Unfortunately, we will not be able to change the volume slider, so, you need to completely remove the flash player from your system and reinstall it. To do this, run the uninstaller that is in your utilities folder. Once that is done, restart your mac. Now open the hard drive and go in to the library folder, then go to internet plug ins. There was nothing still there related to flash, but if there is on your system, delete it. Now go in to your own folder and open the library folder within it. If you don't see this folder, press command shift g and type ~/library then press enter. Go to the caches folder and delete anything related to macromedia flash or Adobe flash. Once that's done, go back to your home folder and open preferences and do the same thing. At this point, flash should be completely removed from your system. You can now download the newest version from adobe's web site and install it.

I should say that I’m happy with what Apple does and I have no desire to use anything else. That said however, I certainly think that it would be a very good think if other companies would realise the importance of opening their products up to other segments of society and not excluding them. I just don’t think that this is going to convince them. I don’t want to completely let Apple off the hook as it seems to me at times that there are factions under their roof that don’t seem to understand the importance of accessibility or what Voiceover is even used for. On the other hand, I think that there is a much larger faction at Apple that definitely gets it and that the evidence to support this is over whelming. I realise that not every body can listen to them, but there were some very impressive sessions at WWDC on the importance of accessibility and how easy it really is to not only make an app usable to a blind person, but make it a nice experience to use. I would like to suggest, that just maybe, if a government agency needs to step in to private inderestry and dictate to a company how their product is required to function, the result probably won’t be something you are going to want to use. I think that we as a blind community have access to more information then at any other time in history.

Now that I've had it for a while, a short while to be true, I have a couple of ideas. First, I think the meet speech mode should be available on all BlindSquare screens. This is because I'm having to turn the volume down on my headphones, and voiceover is very low to the point where I can't hear it when I'm done that. Also, I got a phone call the other day, and I couldn't hear and I had to start raising the volume on the headphone before I could talk on the call. So, I'm not sure what all can be done about this completely, but that would be beneficial. Another feature, and I don't know if this is possible, would be to be able to choose a location that you heard when you were passing it so that you would be notified when you got there. Or, maybe you could put it on your favourites right then and there. This is just some ideas.

So, BlindSquare can work inside shopping malls pretty well. Like you know, positioning in iOS devices is not only based on GPS but also cell tower and wifi radios around you. It means, BlindSquare will know your rough position and adapt announcements according to that. If distance to the place is below current location accuracy, you will not hear direction and you will hear word about before distance. If you increase notification distance, you will hear more places with clock face information. You can also start tracking a place that is - let's say - 150 meters from you. You will probably hear distance and clock face for half of the way there. I'm pretty sure that in the future indoor positioning will get better and better. Couple months ago, Apple acquired a company (http://appleinsider.com/articles/13/03/23/apple-buys-indoor-gps-company-wifislam-for-20m) for 20 million dollars who had working prototype on Android devices. Their system uses knowledge of wifi radio signals to get location with accuracy of few meters. In Finland we have startup called Indoor Atlas (http://www.indooratlas.com). With their technology, one can record static magnetic fields inside buildings. You can then use your mobile devices magnetometer to calculate fingerprint and get your location inside that building. So within next few years, it becomes really interesting to have more navigation possibilities also inside buildings!

The Option key can also be used to force locked items into the Trash. An extra thing to try is to Restart your computer then retry emptying the Trash with the cmd-Option-shift-Delete combination. Occasionally, items that are locked will not be released from the Trash until after Restart. If none of this works, there is a way in Terminal to really force the issue, I will let you know that one if all else fails. In answer to your question about the items only being present when your external HD was connected, this is normal behaviour.

I have had a weird problem that if I want to close the program, and I go to the app switcher, and press double tap and hold to edit applications, the iPhone wants to open the program instead of going to edit apps. The reason I want to close it is because if I have put in a destination, and the program thinks I'm not there, it keeps talking and won't stop.

I just plain flat didn't get it what things I could do with an iPhone. I kept thinking of it as a phone instead of a little bitty computer with the ability to make phone calls. I have a blind friend who has decided she will an iPhone eventually, but she doesn't get yet either. She keeps saying to me: Well, I can do all that right now. I guess she won't get it either until she gets one herself. She would love BlindSquare, but she doesn't know it yet. It's a case of finding out you wanted something you didn't know you wanted until you got it. Regards, Gigi On Jun 27, 2013, at 5:51 PM, Kerri shalo...@shaw.ca wrote: *grin, seriously addicted grin.

I have somewhat figured out in IPhoto how to do this on the Mac, but I've had about three of four people on this list who have absolutely insisted that I am practically stupid for not seeing this, but they claim that I can use Image Capture to transfer photos from my IPhone. They told me they understand that this app normally is for capturing pictures from a scanner which is attached or from a webcam etc, but it also would do this as well. OK, well you all are gonna have to tell me what I'm missing then. I've looked everywhere that I know there is to look within the app, and do not see any way to make this happen. All that I see in my devices table is my scanner, and that's pretty much it. Yes, I did try to expand the devices category within the table up at the top, and yes, I made sure the disclosure triangle was toggled to show, and not to hide. I thought maybe I needed to enable something in the preferences to make it look for IPhones, but that didn't work, as there is no preferences dialog in this app to start with. I even quit ITunes wondering if that had something to do with it, and before doing so, I went to the photos tab of my IPhone in ITunes and insured that sync photos was unchecked, although frankly, that wouldn't really matter, as sync photos within ITunes is mainly only used to sync pictures from your mac to the phone, not the other way around. My thing is I don't want to use IPhoto either because I have about 12 pictures on my phone and obviously, neither IPhoto nor IOS gives them any sort of descriptive names by default. For this reason, I don't really know which picture is which, so now going back trying to rename them is going to be a major pain the ass. Not only that, but I'm not really very proficient with IPhoto, which doesn't help matters. I do have some pictures however that are very important I need to get out of the phone. Yeah, I could just e-mail them to myself, but that kind of defeats the whole purpose,
Please could someone say if this is getting to the list!

I agree, there seems to be something bigger going here and it's difficult to diagnose via eMail. Try holding down the Option key while iTunes is starting up. This will force iTunes to ask you to choose your Library file. At this point, tell it to create a new one. This will essentially create a second iTunes Library file for you while maintain the same list of media files, so no duplication using up space. It will, though, lose your playlists and such. Try creating some new ones and running iTunes from that new Library for a while.
