Re: Anyone else disappointed with the "big" apple event

2016-03-22 Thread Venkatesh Potluri

I’m very disappointed too.

To start off, there was nothing surprising about the event. everything (the 
iPhone, the iPad pro and one of the watch bands) were expected. They announced 
“folders” as a new feature in the event… seriously? it would have been ok if 
they demoed how entering passwords using siri would work on the appleTV. Though 
I don’t own an appleTV, i was disappointed to see features like that being 
announced at an event at that scale.

and the iPhone SE… Though it was expected to have similar features to the 
iPhone 6S with a 5 design, the whole presentation seemed very boring. and the 
phone costs $200 more in india when compared to the US. the price difference 
between the iPhone SE and iPhone 6S (from amazon and other online retailers) is 
around Rs1,000 (around $20). Very disappointing.

VoiceOver does not speak images in the UIImagePickerController

2016-03-19 Thread Venkatesh Potluri

Hi list,
I am trying to develop an app. a part of the functionality is that the user 
should be able to select a photo stored on the device. For this, I am using 
the UIImagePickerController. There are 2 issues I noticed when running the 
project on my iPhone.
1. After I hit the button and grant the app access to my photos, I am 
presented with different options (selfies, etc) each of these options is 
being spoken as an edit field. How do I fix this?
2. After I choose a category say, selfies, VoiceOver does not give any 
output. When I verified with cited assistance, I was told that the user is 
presented with a grid of photos from which he or she can select. My 
expected behaviour is that VoiceOver speaks details of each photo (date 
taken, etc) as the user swipes or explores the screen (similar to most apps 
that ask us to select photos).

As I am using a default UI element, should it not be accessible already? 
How do I make this view accessible?

I posted this earlier but was not sure if it reached the list. I am sorry 
if this post is a duplicate of my original.
Thank you and best regards,
Venkatesh

adding segWays and storyboard entry points using VoiceOver

2015-08-10 Thread Venkatesh Potluri

Hi,

How do we add segWays in xCode?

I have a demo app with 2 viewControllers (2 viewController scenes in
effect). My aim is to add a button to 1 ViewController that would take me
to the other. I could partially do this.

From the library, I dragged a button on to the view inside the first
viewController in the main storyboard. From the connections inspector of
the button, I dragged the button next to action to the second
viewController. Here, I would want to select the show option. However,
VoiceOver does not speak any options in the small pop over that is
displayed. I was told about a popover being present with cited assistance.
How do I accomplish this with VoiceOver? I thought dragging a button next
to show in the connections inspector would help. However, under the trigger
segways, action is the only option.

also, How do I change the storyboard entry point from 1 viewController to
the other?

Thank you.

Regards,

Venkatesh

error checking and playgrounds in xCode6.4

2015-07-28 Thread Venkatesh Potluri

Hi,

I have a few questions regarding Xcode 6.4.

1. How do I identify and navigate to the line of code that causes an error
while building and running an app?

I managed to locate the issue navigator and it says  Swift compiler error
 . How do I navigate to the exact line that is causing the error?
Moreover, how can I access and apply Xcode suggestions (when they are
available)?

2. When I use a swift playground, I understand that the code is run as I
type. Where can I find this output?

thanks in advance.

Downloading music for offline listening on apple music

2015-07-02 Thread Venkatesh Potluri

Hi,

I was very happy to know that apple music is available at launch and hopped
on the minute I downloaded 8.4. So far, I have been very satisfied with the
service. However, I am facing a few issues with regards to iCloud music
library and downloading songs for offline listening on IOS and iTunes on Os
X.


IOS:



 I have been able to download entire albums and playlists on to my iPhone
by tapping the more button after opening the album or playlist. When i try
to download individual songs in an album or playlist for offline listening,
I am unable to do so. This is also the case when searching the songs from
the radio or any other screen in apple music. However, if I go to the new
tab, and then double tap and hold on a song, I am given the option to make
available offline, along with the other options to add to my music, etc. I
am also able to double tap and hold on the songs I search for from the new
screen. (No, double tapping on a song from an album or playlist does not
bring up any menu and plays the song). How can I add individual songs when
I am using an album, playlist or artist?

What is the difference between add to my music and add to library”?



iTunes on Os X:

How do I download music for offline listening?

I am not sure about how to download tracks, albums, artists or playlists
for offline listening in iTunes. The only way I am able to do this is by
going to the my music option, searching for a song already added to my
music via apple music on IOs, interacting with the song and pressing the
download button. (I use list view for my music). I am able to download my
playlists with some additional songs from apple music by selecting the
playlist, interacting with a header by the name of the playlist and
pressing the download button.

How do I know if my iTunes library finished syncing with iCloud music
library?

 I haven’t used iTunes match or purchased any music from iTunes so please
excuse me for the long email. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you.

Venkatesh Potluri

recording iPhone screen using quicktime

2015-06-12 Thread Venkatesh Potluri

Hi,

I am recording the iPhone’s screen using quicktime. I chose the iPhone as
the video source and my macbook’s internal microphone for audio. I intend
to record a video of using a specific app with voiceover and my narration.
I assumed that voiceover would speak out and it’s output will be captured
by my macbook’s microphone along side my narration. However, Voiceover
stops speaking when I am recording the video. What am I doing wrong here?

Is there any better way or app to do this?

Thank you.

Venkatesh

Using google docs with voiceover

2015-04-30 Thread Venkatesh Potluri

Hi list,
I have a few doubts about using google docs with VoiceOver.
I managed to read through google's documentation on using google docs
with screen readers and as suggested there, I use it in safari by
enabling and disabling QuickNav to do certain tasks. I am able to
create documents, name them, and copy-paste text into them from
textEdit. The reason behind using TextEdit to write the document is I
am unable to navigate in the document to make changes after typing it
in google docs. How do I do this? That is, How do I navigate to a
particular line or a word after typing it and edit it? How do I add
specific comments by selecting text in the document? As of now, I am
using the Docs app on iOS to select text and add comments. How ever, I
would be more comfortable to do this on my computer keyboard (if there
is a possibility).
I am unable to access the options in the menus. I just hear the sound
VO makes when a PopUp box is activated and the first few options in
the menu when I press down aero(QuickNav turned on) or VO+Down Aero
(QuickNav off) after activating the menu. How do I do this?
Specifically, I would want to export the document and share it with
others in most cases.
Any help or suggestions would be of great value.
Thank you.

Venkatesh Potluri

Fleksy keyboard help

2014-11-23 Thread Venkatesh Potluri

Hi all,
I have finally updated to iOS 8.1.1 on my iPhone 4S and the experience
has been good. I am now using the Fleksy keyboard and have a few
questions.
When I use Fleksy with Voiceover turned on, VO does not interfere with
flecks. That is, it does not read aloud the keys i tap on the
keyboard. This has been a very nice experience. At times how ever, it
speaks the letters I tap on the keyboard and does not speak the
corrected word Fleksy enters when I swipe right.  VO says bottom of
document when I swipe down to listen to and choose a different word
from the suggestions. How do I prevent this?
How do I add new words to Fleksy with VO enabled?
Hope I made my self clear.
Thanks in advance.
Cheers,
Venkatesh Potluri

iOs 8.1 performance on iPhone 4S

2014-10-21 Thread Venkatesh Potluri

Hi list,
I am using a 16GB iPhone 4S. I updated to iOs 8 and had a lot of
issues so had to downgrade back to 7.1. My phone got a lot slower,
apps like whatsapp and messenger kept constantly crashing and VO
randomly restarts it self. i had many accidental touches, accidental
calls, etc. I wish to know if these issues have been resolved in 8.1.
Another major reason for me wanting to upgrade is the Flecksy
keyboard. How good is it? I read that there are still problems using
it. are there any show stopper bugs? Is the Looktel money reader
working fine in 8.1?
Thank you.
Cheers,

4 to 5 years.
I am a VO user and use my MacBook for basic coding, iOs and android
app development, occasionally playing light weight games. I will have
to run software like matlab, logic and garageband at times.

configuration 2:
*   2.3GHz Quad-core Intel Core i7, Turbo Boost up to 3.5GHz
*   16GB 1600MHz DDR3L SDRAM
*   256GB PCIe-based Flash Storage
*   Intel Iris Pro Graphics
*   apple care protection plan for macbook pro

configuration 3:

 Hi,

 The pdf file type is supported inline with Safari. Just like you don't
 have every image JPEG open in a graphics program, so  is it with PDFs.
 There used to be a setting in Snow Leopard that allowed Safari to open PDF
 files in Preview, but that got cut with Lion, as I recall. I also miss
 this feature.

 What I tend to do, is actually have Safari open the pdf, then I use the
 contextual menu on the pdf to open in preview.  This eliminates the need
 for the download and open.  It's a little faster than the way you
 describe, and you don't have to clean up your downloads folder.  If you
 wish to actually save the pdf locally, you can do a save as from preview
 and put it where ever you want.

 I know it's not the answer you were hoping for.

playing the arrangement until I reach the point where I wish to insert
the new loop in a new track. I am navigating to the loops, selecting
the desired loop, performing a mouse down(VO+command+shift+space). I
am releasing the mouse curser after i interact with the tracks
contents and VO says area below tracks. This does the job in most
cases but inserts the loop at the wrong place at times. What is the
correct way to do this?
Thanks in advance.
Cheers
Venkatesh

getting started with garageband

2014-04-06 Thread Venkatesh Potluri

Hi list.
I am very happy about the fact that the new garage band is accessible.
I am getting started with garageband. I wish to know the list of
things that can and can not be done with garageband and VO. For
starters, I tried to drag a loop into one of the tracks and the loop
got inserted after a few bars in the track. That is, the first few
bars are empty. How do i fix this? How do I go about creating new
loops? Is there any podcast or tutorial that explains using garageband
with VO?  These are just a few questions.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. :)
Cheers

Re: xcode mavericks and busy

 Is anyone else having problems in xcode 5 with mavericks, where when

 gone to the extent of wiping the hdd and reinstalling everything to resolve
 this, but after a fresh install of everything, the same problem is back.
 I'm thinking I'm going to need to revert to ml.  Anyone else got any other

 Hi,

 You could try using the built-in mathematical symbols available on every
 Mac:

 Option Key plus slash is Divided by symbol (÷)
 Option Key plus equals is Not Equals (≠)
 Option Key plus v is Square Root sign (√)
 Option Key plus comma is Less than or equals (≤)
 Option Key plus period is Greater than or equals (≥)

 As you may see, the Option key is the main modifier.  Some are logical,
 like the Less than/Greater then or equals as they use the same key just
 with the added Option key.  You could learn many of these by simply
 holding down the Option key while pressing various keyboard keys while in
 a blank Pages document.

 This may not be even close to what you’re looking for but thought it may
 be useful.

You open the window resize options menu with vo-shift-tilda. Then go
into
the resize menu and choose the edge you want to move and press enter.
Then
move the appropriate arrow keys. You should hear a s sound and vo

speak information. If If not, then the edge is as far as it will go.
When
you're done, press escape.

I only put this because knowing how to do this can be helpful in other

A few queries related to programming: vim, configuration files, etc

2012-08-14 Thread Venkatesh Potluri

Hello listers. I have a few questions related to programming on the
mac. I frequently code in C, C++, Python and Java, and I often come
across situations where I have to edit configuration files for a few
applications, etc.
1. what is the best editor or IDE?
I have tried using vim from the terminal but, I face a difficulty in
navigating around the text  and editing it. VO reads some text, when I
take the curser to the place I want to edit and Hit the delete key,
text from else where gets deleted. Am I doing something wrong?
Is there any way to use xCode to open a blank file, code in the
language I prefer(at least C ), and run the code? I guess doing this
would help me use the auto complete features of xCode.
2. how do I edit configuration files using text edit or some other GUI editor?
sinse vim was not of any help to me, I tried to edit configuration
files in textedit using the open command from the terminal. but, in
come cases, after editing, I get an error while saving saying  you
don't own this file . I am in the  sudo su  mode, stil I get this
error.
I request you to give your valuable suggestions or workarounds at the
earliest as I am unable to do my course assignments and loosing
grades.
Thank you in advance.

 expensive purchase so I wish to be very sure before I decide.
 
 
 1. I watched many videos of siri. from that, I learn it is really good
 in speech recognition. well, since you will be using it daily, what do
 you think about it's recognition capabilities? How good is it at
 texting? I also saw a couple of posts in this list about vo and siri
 not working properly together. Does it really prove to be
 inconvenient?
 2. text dictation.
 I read that there is an option to say the text we wish to type in an
 edit field on pressing a microphone button on the keyboard. Is this
 only in the messages app or works in any edit field (even in 3rd party
 apps like Facebook and whatsapp messenger)? and, how is the accuracy
 of the recognition?
 3. Looktel apps on 3GS vs 4S
 I am planning to purchase the money reader and the recognizer in the
 near future. Is there a significant performance difference in terms of
 recognition time and accuracy?
 4. VO and battery in 3Gs vs 4S
 since updating to iOs5, VO lags quite often. It responds late when I
 move my finger on the touch keyboard and by the time I remove my
 finger, it enters a different character from what I actually intended
 to enter. Does this happen in the 4S too? and how is the battery life
 of the phone after the 5.1 update?
 Your suggestions would be of great value and will help me in making
 the right choice.
 Thank you for reading this long list of questions.

iPhone 4S: is it really awesome?

2012-05-08 Thread Venkatesh Potluri

Hi listers.
I am currently using an iPhone 3Gs. I am considering to get a new 4S.
I have a few questions. I am sorry for a long email. the 4S is an
expensive purchase so I wish to be very sure before I decide.


1. I watched many videos of siri. from that, I learn it is really good
in speech recognition. well, since you will be using it daily, what do
you think about it's recognition capabilities? How good is it at
texting? I also saw a couple of posts in this list about vo and siri
not working properly together. Does it really prove to be
inconvenient?
2. text dictation.
I read that there is an option to say the text we wish to type in an
edit field on pressing a microphone button on the keyboard. Is this
only in the messages app or works in any edit field (even in 3rd party
apps like Facebook and whatsapp messenger)? and, how is the accuracy
of the recognition?
3. Looktel apps on 3GS vs 4S
I am planning to purchase the money reader and the recognizer in the
near future. Is there a significant performance difference in terms of
recognition time and accuracy?
4. VO and battery in 3Gs vs 4S
since updating to iOs5, VO lags quite often. It responds late when I
move my finger on the touch keyboard and by the time I remove my
finger, it enters a different character from what I actually intended

Re: Solving a capcha problem

2012-05-05 Thread Venkatesh Potluri

Hi
yes, you can. in most of the popular sites, you find an option to try
an audio capture. you will listen a few numbers or, in some cases,
words along with a lot of background speech. you should be able to
type only the numbers that you hear.
I would suggest you use headphones while doing this for better results.
I would like to add to the question.
I often don't succeed in entering the words or numbers successfully.
well, am I not so good at it just yet, or are there any tips that
would make this process easier?
Thank you.

 you could have them play and saved directly from your mac.  I hear they have 
 a app for the iPhone in the works.  Android already has one.  And the other 
 thing is, if you have files in the mp3 format, you can store them in your 
 amazon cloud, and it doesn't count against your free storage.  If you want a 
 service to back up your music, why not use itunes match, or google drive 
 seems to be accessible enough.  Me personally, I like sky drive, because I 
 get 25 GB of free storage, and it has a ios, and mac app even though it is a

accessing Facebook info from command line

2012-05-01 Thread Venkatesh Potluri

Hi
I want to build a text-only Facebook client that can be used either
through an HTML interface or a command line interface that can be used
from the terminal. I wish to know if it is possible to access a user's
notifications, messages, request, etc and do small things like post
status updates using c, python, bash scripts, or html. It would be
great if you could point me to an appropriate resource to get started.
Thanks in advance.

aspiring apple developer -- help!

2011-11-06 Thread Venkatesh Potluri

Hi listers,
I am doing my Undergrad in Computer science. I have been using VO on
the mac since 2 years and VO on the iOS since 1 Year. I wish to
develop apps for the iOS. I would like your suggestions on a few
questions  regarding app development.
1. where do I start?
I visited the iOS dev center and found a huge volume of resources.
many books, and videos. but I am not sure about where to start and how
to proceed with learning the  required platforms  for development.
2. is the entire development process accessible?
what concerns me related to accessibility is the UI design for the
application and the mapping of the functions to various interactive
elements on screen.(interface builder)  From a video I saw, I
understood that one will have to drag various elements to a particular
area and map each element to a controller function. is my perception
wrong? of it is not, is there a workaround for this particular phase
of development that makes this process accessible with VO?
3. How do I test?
I learned that xCode provides a facility to test apps by running them
on an emulator and provides various statistics about resource usage.
is this accessible with VO?
4. when do I become a member of a developer program?
I wanted your say about the appropriate time to become a member of the
apple developer program.
 Is it better if I pay for It now or go ahead with it after I am
familiar with developing for the iOS platform.
I apologize if this mail was too long and I thank you for reading
through the entire mail :)
Any answers will be of great help.

Thank you.
Cheers

 Hi All,
 
 I just wanted to share a small, but gladsome, discovery in OSX Lion.  Since 
 making the switch from Windows to the Mac about a year--a-half ago, I have, 
 truly, been vexed by the lack of a 'Move command.  I didn't understand how 
 Apple could ignore such a, seemingly, basic necessity.  But, in true stoic 
 fashion, I soldiered on.
 
 However, some one @ Apple must have, finally, put 2  2 together  come up 
 with 4.  For those of you who haven't noticed, OSX Lion does include a Move 
 key command short cut.  After selecting with command-A  then copying with 
 command-C, instead of pasting with command-V you can Move with 
 command-option-V.  VoiceOver states something like moving file to folder. 
 It's, truly, a beautiful thing.
 
 I hope this is useful  not redundant information,

selecting text in iOs 4 using voiceover

2011-10-01 Thread Venkatesh Potluri

Hi listers!
I would like to know the gesture or the series of gestures that I have
to perform to select text in EMails,  web pages and in applications
where there is text in iOs 4.3.5. I am using an iPhone 3gs.
I need help in selecting multiple messages from a conversation to
forward or delete.
Thank you in advance.
Cheers

Facebook accessibility using safari on mac os10 lion

2011-10-01 Thread Venkatesh Potluri

Hello listers!
I accessed Facebook using safari on my mac. I was wondering if the
Facebook home page and other page layouts have changed. I was not able
to view my notifications, new requests, messages, post status updates,
write on friends walls, etc.
How well accessible is the Facebook chat? I would also like to know
how to go offline and online for chat. Is Facebook not accessible or
am I not navigating properly?
Please share your opinion regarding this.
Any additional tips for using Facebook will be of great help.
Thank you.
Cheers

Re: Facebook accessibility using safari on mac os10 lion

2011-10-01 Thread Venkatesh Potluri

Hi
the mobile Facebook website is quite accessible.
In the standard Facebook website, the notifications, requests and
messages are read as clickable numbers. when i click them and hit the
right arrow, VO says there is a dimmed button and no notifications are
read. any idea on how to go about with this issue?
Thanks a lot for the help :)
Cheers
Venkatesh

 You could use m.facebook.com. This is the mobile Facebook site. I
 don't use Facebook a lot but I find this so much more accessible.
 You're notifications and everything is present on that site too.

 Venkatesh,

 About ten days ago, Facebook rolled out a new looking home/newsfeed page
 where recent news and top news are now part of one stream.  You can now
 also
 see up to the second updates on what friends are commenting/posting in a
 new
 ticker.

 A while back, FB replaced the friend request, messages, and notifications
 list with just numbers which are located above the search edit field.

 From what FB blog states, as part of the new home page/newsfeed design,
 one's friend requests are now hidden within a list which doesn't appear on
 the home page.  I have not yet discovered how to locate it.

 There is a list on FB home page which contains update status, add photo,
 and
 ask question.  When you activate the clickable for update status, the
 What's On Your Mind edit box then appears so you can update status.

 FB chat still seems to be accessible but since the new layout
 intorduction,
 FB now combines your chat and your messages together.

 I hope that helps a bit.

Re: i pod touch question

2011-09-18 Thread Venkatesh Potluri

Hi rachel.
Does it prompt that you have not transfered purchased items from your IPod?
I suggest you to try the following.
1. connect your device and open ITunes if it does not open automatically.
2. if you usually sync it, please do so.
3. before updating the software, go to the file menu, and select the option 
that says transfer purchases from your IPod. the name of your IPod will be 
spoken instead of your IPod.
4. you might be prompted to enter your apple ID and password on your computer. 
Please do so.
wait for a while, and you are good to go!
note:
you will be able to know the status of the transfer and the software update in 
the LCD section of iTunes, the area where you usually check the sync status, 
the details of the current song playing, etc.
Hope this helps.
Happy updating! :)
cheers

 Trying to up date my ios for my touch. But it keeps telling me I have not

 every thing, but twice I've tried and twice it tells me I have not done it.
 Thanks for any help!
