[Traci Duncan]

Lol, insert face palm. I can’t believe I wrote alt instead of command. :)

Apple cord extension

[Traci Duncan]

Hi all, do you remember when the older MacBooks came with the charger plus a 
cord that would slide onto the charger block to extend it?

Well, do you think it is ok to use that extender with my new MacBook Air? It 
came with my MacBook Air 2011. This is my MacBook Air 2020.

Duolingo on Mac

[Traci Duncan]

I don’t know if anyone here does Duolingo via Safari on Mac. I learned today 
that you can reorder words with the mouse. You know those lessons where you 
need to form the sentence buy selecting the words. Well, it is annoying when 
you realize you made a mistake a few words back. It works to move your mouse to 
the word, mouse down on it, then go to where you meant to place that word. Set 
mouse focus over that space, then mouse up.

I’ll have to see if I can move mistaken words like this on iOs. My guess is not.

Hope you find this useful,
Traci

Photos in Time Machine

Hi all, I’ve pulled out an old portable drive that has Time Machine back ups 
from my old Mac. I have never gotten used to using Time Machine, let alone

Oh, how I wish I could search it like a regular folder system.

Any guidance is appreciated.

[Traci Duncan]

Hi, is it still possible to listen to radio internet streams via the music app? 
I’m trying to search for a particular station.

Thanks,

Siri Nicky

[Traci Duncan]

Hi all, remember when I was asking about voices for RS games? Well, I’m trying 
out Siri Nicky. I quite like her except I cannot speed her up. Not via Mac 
settings or RS game settings. The voice does not respond to the rate slider.

Any idea why?

Thanks,
Traci

MacoS RS games voice

[Traci Duncan]

Hi all, could you share which voice you use when you play the rs games? I’ve 
been using Alex on there for a long time, but occasionally I have a hard time 
understanding words in the chat.

For now, I’m trying out Eloquence Read. Gosh, he sounds terrible! It is so 
weird that he is all I use to listen to. I’m hoping he’ll sound more precise 
though during the chat.

All suggestions welcome. :)

Not upgrading Macbook Air

[Traci Duncan]

Well, color me pleasantly surprised. I contacted Apple Accessibility about 
upgrading my Mac and the not responding messages I am receiving. They don’t 
recommend I upgrade my Mac for this issue. They say it is a software issue and 
will hopefully be addressed.

I’m pleased and surprised at this response. I would be super disappointed to 
spend this amount of money on a new machine that I don’t really need. I just 
want the messages to stop. :-)

Onto researching ad blockers and the like. I believe someone on this list said 
that that might help in safari.

Thank you for all your advice and suggestions. I appreciate it.

Ok guys, then you are probably recommending…

Sheesh, this is $1599! Thank goodness, I have my current model to trade in.

8 gigs or 16? Memory.

[Traci Duncan]

Hi all, I was just doing a little more reading on MacBook Air M2, and a buying 
guide suggests upgrading to a 16 gig memory isn’t necessary for the average 
user. What are your thoughts on this?

My MacBook Air from 2011 lasted me ten years, before I considered buying new. 
This 2020 model I am using, I’m disappointed to feel the need to purchase new 
now.

So, in short, this m2 model I’m considering, I want it to last me a good while. 
:)

Thanks for your input.

Remember? Mac mini portable?

[Traci Duncan]

Hi guys, remember when I wondered if the Mac mini could be used like a laptop? 
*Grins, I’m not the only one. There are links and youTube videos on using the 
Mac mini on the road with power banks.

I probably wouldn’t go this route, but nifty all the same. I’ve always been 
drawn to the small Mac mini, but alas a laptop is a better fit for me. I need 
that cordless concept.

Ok, this is mostly good feedback. Thanks. I want to stick with Mac, just

Concerned about the future Mac accessibility

[Traci Duncan]

Hi all, it seems like we are having more than a few messages on this list about 
the disappointment in Mac’s VoiceOver performance.

Are quite a few of you thinking of switching back to windows? Or are a lot of 
you overall still happy with the VoiceOver experience?

I think I am mostly curious about this, because I have been talking about 
updating my MacBook Eyre. I guess part of me is beginning to wonder, should I 
get a Windows laptop instead? I would be very disappointed to spend $900 on a 
MacBook Air, and still have a lot of performance issues.

What are your guises thoughts?

Thank you,

Inserting horizontal line

Hi all, I was just composing an email where I was pasting an example letter. I

Is there a way to insert a long line divider?

Has anyone used a Mac mini as their laptop replacement? I’ve been curious about

Reminder, how to move music library to new Mac?

[Traci Duncan]

Hi all, I am looking to upgrade my MacBook Air and will need to move my music 
library. Could you guys remind me on how I do this? I still have a lot of music 
that comes from CDs. You might have heard of them? Flat shiny discs. ;) 

Thanks, I appreciate it. Other than my music, I’m not worried about much else. 
Although, I’ll miss out on part of my Clean my Mac subscription. *frowns

Is it better to create rules and filters on gMail’s site, or create them in the

Recommendations new MacBook Air m2

[Traci Duncan]

Hi all, I’m considering getting a new Mac in the back to school sale. Could you 
please advise me on specs?

I am probably a light user. It is the VoiceOver not responding message that is 
driving me crazy! Lol! Even simple Safari searches get the not responding. I 
get it in music as well.

So, some Mac uses I do: surfing (ie searches), music app, rs games app, mail, 
pdfs. That sort of thing.

Thank you for your feedback. I don’t want to buy something less than my needs, 
neither do I want to buy something far more robust than I need. Looking for 
Goldilox here. *Grins

Scanning & ocr options?

[Traci Duncan]

Hi all, I don’t know much about full scanning OCR options. I was just reading a 
bit about pearl and open book from Jaws. Does the Mac have solutions like that?

One main thing I want is the ability to know if my reading material is right 
side up. I also like the idea of the layout of the page remaining intact. 
Tables, columns, etc. 

Thanks for educating me. :)

Re: Just a Quick Hello To Everyone on the List from Moderator Mark

[Traci Duncan]

Hello, 2 little things I’ve thought would be useful:

A VoiceOver gesture, (say a 2-finger swipe right) in the messages window to 
send the composed message. Instead of locating the send button.

A VoiceOver gesture to spell the current word in focus. Often I’m on the web 
and want something spelled out. It takes many little steps to turn the rotor to 
word, flick to the one I want, then turn the rotor to character, flick letter 
by letter. A simple shortcut would be super useful.

Those are two little things off the top of my head. :)

Take care,
Traci

Re: Board Game Arena

[Traci Duncan]

I think so, because it goes off browsers. They mention Microsoft Edge, Google 
Chrome, etc.

I don’t know if it is accessible and I couldn’t get through the contact us 
questions.

Re: Navigating app store

[Traci Duncan]

Hello, thank you for your reply.

I just tried what you suggested, and it didn’t work for me. :) However…

What worked twice in a row was moving the mouse focus to the app and left 
clicking on it. So if Voiceover is on the app pages, I VO-command-f5 to move 
the mouse over, then VO-shift-space to mouse click. To let you all know, I was 
doing this with a search result of apps.

Hth,
Traci

QuentinC's Play room?

[Traci Duncan]

If anyone has experience playing games in QuentinC’s playroom on the Mac, could 
you pass along tips? Navigation? Voiceover settings, quicknav etc. 

Maybe some general tips on the platform. Settings you may find helpful.

Thank you,
Traci

Favorite mailboxes help

[Traci Duncan]

Hi all, I am trying to fix my favorite mailboxes. I want for Command 1-3 to be 
inbox, Macvisionaries, ViPhone. Somehow Command 2 and Command 4 are blocked. 
They each have a dimmed version of MacVisionaries and ViPhone. I tried the 
option of removing them, but that removes the nearest favorite mailbox. I also 
tried the rebuild option, but that didn’t seem to do anything.

Any suggestions on how I can fix this.? 

Thank you,
Traci

Safari debug and videos

[Traci Duncan]

Hi all, in my continued quest to stop videos from playing and Voiceover 
counting down this ad will stop in so many seconds, I came across this idea. 
What do you think?

>From Mac World. 
Safari has a debug menu that can be used to stop autoplaying video, but first 
we need to activate the debug menu using Terminal.

defaults write com.apple.Safari IncludeInternalDebugMenu 1

Close Terminal, and reopen Safari. You’ll see a new option at the righthand end 
of the top menu bar: Debug. Click this, then select Media Flags > Disallow 
Inline Video.


That’s it! (If you want to get rid of that Debug menu option, go back to 
Terminal and enter

defaults write com.apple.Safari IncludeInternalDebugMenu 0

Safari Extensions and passwords

[Traci Duncan]

Hi all, I’ve been looking at Safari extensions this morning and notice that 
most of them say they can read passwords and credit card information. This 
doesn’t sound safe to me. I wanted to install an ad blocker and rss reader 
extension.

What is your advice on these privacy settings?

Thanks,

Hi all, I am frustrated when reading a website and VoiceOver continuously 
counts down a video ad. Will an ad blocker prevent this from happening?

Thank you,
Traci

Navigating app store

[Traci Duncan]

Hi all, How do I get into the app’s description? It seems like my only option 
is to get it or purchase it. I’ve tried interacting deeper and deeper, but this 
doesn’t open up the description, reviews, etc.

Thanks,
Traci

Re: Alaska Airlines on Safari

[Traci Duncan]

Hi, I can read the buttons for the days and prices. Once I click on one, the 
results appear to be in a table. There should be several flight options 
throughout that day.

It works better on my iPad mini via the Alaska app. I’d like to do my searching 
on my Mac. :)

Thanks,
Traci

Hi, you don’t need an account. I’m searching for possible flights.

Alaska Airlines on Safari

[Traci Duncan]

Hi all, I have a heck of a time with Alaska Air on Safari. Safari often doesn’t 
respond, and I cannot figure out how to navigate flight results.

Any accessibility tips for navigating their site?

Thank you,

Revisiting Safari not responding

[Traci Duncan]

I am frustrated with Safari not responding. It happens on a daily basis. I am 
doing nothing intensive. Simple Google searches, webpage reading. Please, is 
there settings I can change to improve things?

My MacBook Air is less than 3 years old. Processor 1.2 GHz Quad-Core Intel Core 
i7. Memory 16 GB 3733 MHz LPDDR4X. Shouldn't this be enough power for simple 
web use?

Thank you, I appreciate the help.

Mac Image Descriptions

Hi all, can the Mac describe images like the iPhone and iPad? I was on 
Petfinder, in an image carousel and when on my iPad each image is described. 
This wasn’t happening on my Mac.

Duplicate Music playlist

[Traci Duncan]

Hi all, there is this annoyance in music where several playlists are being 
duplicated. Say I have dinner jazz, then music creates dinner jazz1. There 
doesn’t seem to be any rhyme or reason. It’s happened to half a dozen or more.

Any ideas why this is happening or how I can prevent it. I really dislike the 
Mac OS music app.

Thanks,

Updated Apple ID

[Traci Duncan]

Hi all, a few weeks back I changed my Apple ID password, and since then I often 
get messages popping up on each device. Repeatedly asking me to update Apple ID 
settings, some services may not be available. Or messages saying a new device 
has been added to my account and now has access to iMessage, if you do not 
recognize this device, etc. 

Any idea why this keeps happening, or how I can stop it? I get why it would 
initially ask me, but it continuously is asking.

Thank you,

Re: I need an accessible thermostat

[Traci Duncan]

Hi, I actually just went through this process. I chose the Emerson Sensi ST55. 
It is a smart thermostat that will connect to Alexa and home kit. I decided on 
this model because of the favorable reviews and it has physical buttons. I’m 
hoping it is the best of both worlds.

Yes, you can control it via the iOS app. Some buttons are labled weirdly, but 
useable. I have found the scheduling to be a little challenging, but I think 
I’ll be able to do it. Honestly though, I like the simplicity of changing my 
temp on the fly. Here is a link that describes the commands you can use with 
Amazon Alexa for the thermostat.
https://sensi.emerson.com/en-us/support/what-commands-can-i-give-my-sensi-thermostat-using-amazon-alexa
 


Hope this helps some.

Text Edit on after Mac sleeps

[Traci Duncan]

Hey all, I am finding when I use TextEdit and I step away for a minute, my Mac 
may go to the LockScreen. When I come back and unlock it, VoiceOver will not 
read inside the text and a document. I need to turn VoiceOver off and on again. 
Does anyone know why this is happening? Anything I can do about it?

Thank you,
Tracy

Improving music app experience

[Traci Duncan]

Hi all,

Does anyone have tips on making the music app experience better on the Mac? 
Frankly, I hate it! I find it a challenge to navigate. It often says not 
responding. Frequently voiceover seems to jump out of whatever focus I might be 
in.

I appreciate any advice. I will even consider a different app to manage my 
music.

Thank you,
Traci

Duolingo on Safari?

Occasionally I've been doing Duolingo lessons on my Mac. For the most part, I

find any course button or link on Safari on the Mac. Any suggestions?

Re: Voiceover and languages

[Traci Duncan]

Hi, it won’t switch to other languages. The voices are listed there, but I’m 
unable to select an alternative language.

I noticed at the top of the list it says automatically choose based on default 
language. Is there a way to change this? So I can switch languages on the fly.

Thanks,
Traci

Notifications highjacking voiceover

[Traci Duncan]

Hi all,

Something that I cannot get used to with the new operating system is how 
notifications seem to steal voice overs focus. I never know quite how to get 
out of it! I usually have to hit Escape a couple times, or leave Safari and go 
to the desktop. It's super annoying! Most of the time I find myself leaving my 
Mac on do not disturb, so the notifications don't bother me.

Does anyone have any practical tips. :-) seems silly to always have my Mac on 
do not disturb.

Thank you,
Traci

old MacBook Air, and the trackpad is lifted upward. The battery is also 
nonresponsive. It remains at 0%, power connected, not charging.

What are your thoughts? Is it worth it? I have no idea how much it might cost.

Thank you,
Traci

Control to stop voice over talking

[Traci Duncan]

Hello, didn't it used to be when you hit the control key voiceover would stop 
talking completely? Now it seems like it's just a pause button. Are there 
alternative options?

Thank you,
Traci

Re: iPhone as a remote control for my apple TV gen 4?

[Traci Duncan]

Hi, I’ve just had to do this, b because we can’t find our remote. Lol!

I don't remember if you need to download the app first, but I found the Apple 
TV remote in my control center. Once you have the app open and you're connected 
to your Apple TV, you'll find the usual buttons towards the bottom of your 
screen. Siri, menu, home, etc. If you want to you Siri, double tap and hold on 
that button and speak, then release it. This is how I turned on voiceover on 
the Apple TV, because it was not on. You'll find the directional pad towards 
the upper middle of your screen. Left, up, right, down, select, etc. That is 
how your move around the options on your Apple TV. I've kind of found the 
process cumbersome, but it works.

HTH,
Traci
PS. I wonder if there's a third-party remote I could purchase. Honestly, I'm 
not super fond of the remote that comes with the Apple TV.

Re: Feedback update Mantis Q40

[Traci Duncan]

Hi all,

So something I’m still not clear on when comparing older braille displays and 
new ones, is the multiple connections. My 4th gen Focus 14 connects to one 
device at a time, however it does automatically connect. So, if I am on my 
iPhone using it, lock that phone and move over to my iPad, the Focus works with 
that device. 

Is that the difference? The new displays connect to multiple devices, but I 
need to reestablish the connection?

Back to the Mantis specifically, could I use the keyboard on my lap?

As far as I understand, I’d purchase Mantis directly through APH right? I’m not 
super familiar with them as far as a store goes. Last year I bought some slate 
& stylus supplies. :) That’s the extent of my consumer experience.

Thanks,
Traci

Feedback update Mantis Q40

[Traci Duncan]

It has been a while since this device has come out. I wondered if those of you 
that are using it could update the groups with your experience.

Connectivity, ease of use, switching between phone, tablet, computer, etc.

I’m very interested in the Mantis Q40, but admittedly nervous about such a 
large purchase. I own a Focus 14 Blue and purchased that in 2013.

Thank you for any user experience you share.

Traci

Re: Can you read this playlist table?

[Traci Duncan]

Hi, thank you for the grouping suggestion. I was able to get inside the 
playlist and read track, composer, etc, however I only could move up or down. 
It is very odd navigation.

And yes, I actually tried this on a Windows machine with Narator and Edge. It 
couldn’t read it either. 

Thank you,
Traci

Re: Music app PlayList question on Mac

[Traci Duncan]

Hi, interact in the side bar of the music app and get to your playlist. Then 
stop interacting and VO-right-arrow a couple times until you hear something 
like this: 24 songs, 1 hour, 29 minutes, 110.8 MB button. There is the size of 
a playlist.

HTH,
Traci

Re: Can you read this playlist table?

[Traci Duncan]

Thanks guys. I still can’t get that far with the titles and composers.

Maybe I’ll email the radio station. Our local King FM playlist is accessible 
and NC’s WCPE playlist is accessible as well.

Thanks for trying :)

Hi all, below is a link to WCRB’s daily music schedule. I cannot figure out how

Could you report back if you successfully read it? Also which browser you are

Toggling dark mode

[Traci Duncan]

Hi all, I’ve been Googling this morning and have found two ways to toggle 
dark/light mode. One is creating an apple script, the other is creating a 
workflow and saving it as an app.

The workflow as an app was super simple, but now I’m not sure if there is a way 
to use a global keyboard shortcut to run it.

Is there a step I’m missing? Here’s the link where I learned the workflow.
