auto-Reading documents by VoiceOver voice

[William Windels]

Hello all,

This seems a old bug to me but on  macos 11.2.3 on a macbook air with a m1 
chip, voiceover is reading a document from the top when swipe with 2 fingers 
down.
This is not like expected when the cursor is not at the beginning of the 
document: voiceover should start reading from the position of the cursor.

Or, is this  supposition of me wrong?

Perhaps I can use another command to read automatically from cursor to bottom?

Thx for any comments/hints

Appending selected text to the clipboard

[William Windels]

Hello
For my work , I use a win10 computer with jaws for windows and there is a 
built-in script to appen d selected text to the clipboard.
So, you can put all different paces of text into the clipboard and paste it 
together on another place.

On macOS, I found ‘Alfred for that task but The clipboard-extension is only 
available in the power pack extension and this isn’t free.

Is there a free (built-in) tool on the Mac to do so or another external 
programs that works fine with VoiceOver?

Kind regards,
William Windels

macos big sur and installing apps from the app store

[William Windels]

Hello,
I just wanted to install apps on my new macbook air m1 from the app store. I 
typed the app that I want install but from then, It was difficult to go from 
the search result in the app store to the step to download the app.
IS this more complex with big sur or is it just another way of working?

recursive appointments

[William Windels]

Hello all,

I would like to make recursive appointments in my icloud calendar.

It seems there are some (normal) limitations:

I would like to make something like:

a appointment that:
repeats every 2 years in the months january, september and december
and in that months every 2 weeks on days monday friday and sathurday.

so, for each unit: year, month, week and day, I would like to say between how 
many units or on which units the event should happen.

I don’t know if this is possible or not and if so, which 
program/calendar:google, icloud, microsoft… I need for this.

Thx for any suggestion

Re: Braille Displays

[William Windels]

hello all

I am thinking also for buying a active star 40 but, as written below, the htcom 
isn’t still available for mac.

1. You can copy and paste from the finder into the external drive (memorycard 
of the active star). and reverse but other formats then .txt and .rtf should be 
converted before transferring to the star.
2. because of that, I red that there is a linux-version of the program htcom. 
Anybody has already tried to install it from the terminal?

And 2 key-command questions?
What is space 1,5,7 on the active star doing while I am in a file on the 
brailledisplay?
it seems it’s pushing all the contents of the opened file on the active star to 
the active screen (new mail, textedit), on mac os.
 
The following command in the active star manual for enabling atc can be done on 
windows with a checkbox in the specific tab of the screenreader but on mac
 by pressing [SPCL + 1 7] (Chord A), it should be done also.
However,  it seems not to work now while reading in this mail.
It’s defined in voiceover as assign command-key to braille key or something 
like that.
When I have removed this function in voiceover utility, the function isn’t 
reacting andere taxi van  all.

Any idea’s how to enable/disable the atc emulation on the mac since Apple isn’t 
supporting atc?

Many thanx for the answers.

Kind regards,
William Windels

connecting baum pronto 40 brailledisplay to high sierra 10.13.3

[William Windels]

Hello all,

I have a baum pronto 40 that I want to use as brailledisplay on mac os 10.13.3.

There seems no usb-cable/connection possible so I tried the bluetooth 
connection.

But, it seems that the code 1234 is not correct or something else is wrong.
This is the dode in the manual.
And, the baum pronto 40 is supported as brailledisplay says apple.pronto 

Anyone has experiences with the pronto 40 as brailledisplay on the mac?

thx in advance.

macmail rules : limitations, help pls

[William Windels]

Hello all,
To clean up my mailbox , I use the macmail rueles in mac os 10.13 high sierra.

It seems I can’t make conditional rules with and/or operators.
e.g. I cant say that all mails from @facebook.com or @twitter.com  or @ 
applevis.com or @apple.com should be removed if they are received 30 days ago.
If I should say the the rule is true if one or more of the conditions are true, 
I should see that all conditions seperately are true.
If I should say that the rule-evaluation is valid if all conditions are true, I 
shouldn’t have any result since apple mail can’t handle more than 1 
from-address.

There is also a option in the conditionlist of a mailrule  named “edit 
headerlist.
There, I could type and/or/… but this isn’t working.

And I could make also different rules for each from-address separately but then 
, I have su much rules….

All hints are very welcome!

Kind regards,
William Windels

reading subtitles wit ios11: what is needed

[William Windels]

hello all,
I was wondering which technical aspects or protocols are necessary for 
voiceover to read the subtitles of e.g. movies when playing them from utube, 
netflix or other sources like websites or other apps on the iphone?
I would like to hear the subtitles that are available for everyone from inside 
the ap of the local provider here.
When a film with subtitles is playing in yeloplay, the app of the provider, I 
can select with the rotor mediacontrols and there I can choose for off, 
braille, speach and braille and speech togheter.
Since I have this settings in my rotor, I suppose that the ios-settings are 
correct set but still , no subtitles are spoken. Perhaps, there are only a few 
types of subtitles that voiceover can read?
Or, perhaps, there are also other settings / specifications needed to let it 
work?
Any technical or other suggestions for me or developers are very welcome.
 
thx in advance for the responses.

restoring contactlist from a remote time-machine disc

[William Windels]

Hello all,

Yesterday , I have distroyed my contactlist on my mac so no, the contactlist on 
all my devices is damaged because of the icloud synq.
There is a backup made on my nas made by time-machine where the time-machine 
backups are saved on my nas.

With voiceover I can restore from a specific date my computer but it seems I 
can’t not restore a particular file/program when the backups disc is  
established true a wifi-connection.

Instead of doing a whole restore of my mac , I would like to know if I can 
extract my contactlist out of a time-machine backup and import it on my system 
of today.

I found something on the internet: opening the contacts app, from in the app go 
to time-machine and select there the date from where I want to import my 
contacts.
Unfortunately, this seems not to work with voiceover.

Any help is greatly appreciated.

Kind regards,
William Windels

Re: macos sierra accessibility especially with braille how is it so far?

[William Windels]

where I have to type
Before interacting on that edit field, On the braille display, I see: "Help 
(Email) knop”
3.  When I interact there and type, I can’t see what I am typing on the 
braille display while I can hear it
4.  I can’t see the names of the fields like first name, last name on my 
braille display so, without speech, I can’t know which information I have to 
fill in.

This is all the case for group/dom mode.

There are very few possibilities to configure the information on a braille 
display.
Since braille displays have only a few cells to show the information on the 
screen, it’s essential that the right information is on the right place at the 
right moment with as few commands as possible.
Examples of nice options are: configure the representation of elements like 
checkboxes, radio buttons, links on a braille display.

Example:

-   [x]/[ ]: checked/unchecked checkbox;
-   (x)/( ) checked/unchecked radio button;
-   { choices }: combo boxes;
-is a good option to present “tab” on a line but, sometimes, 
it’s good to see the real space on the screen like “   “ instead of
-   links on a website should be represented with the underlined text of 
the link with dots 7,8 on the braille display instead of writing a word “lnk” 
or “koppeling” in Dutch before the text of the link.
-   configure if the text should be shown like it is on the screen or with 
as much as possible text on the braille display.
-   configure if the types of the controls are shown on the braille display 
(with less text or information around the current area) instead of giving as 
much as possible information around the control with support of the speech to 
announce which control has focus.

My conclusion
The Mac with voiceover is still a product that has many possibilities and many 
things have been updated to provide better voiceover support.
However, for advanced braille users, I wouldn’t recommend the switch to a Mac 
anymore because of the limited and very basic braille support.
I still hope that Apple will make better efforts in the near feature for 
braille support.
And If I listen to the interview below, I believe Apple is taking accessibility 
very serious with very innovative results the last years.

macos sierra and setup screen

[William Windels]

Hello ,
I have just installed macos sierra and, because of a strange reason, I lost the 
configuration screen.
This is the screen where they ask e.g. if I would upload all my documents fro 
my computer to iCloud.

I don’t know wat’s all further in the setup and I don’t know also how to get 
the configuration-setup back.

Any hints,
Kind regards,

importing large amount of mails from time-machine osx 10.11.5

[William Windels]

Hello all,

Because of some unwanted , strange reason, I have lost all me mails before 
26/3/2016. The amount of lost mails is about +- 400.000 with a size of about 
12.x gb.

I have copied this folder to my hd and while importing the folder with all the 
mails, the mail program is blocking.
So, I would like to import this mails in apple mail.

I chose from the mail menu:
archive , import folder
There , I receive a dialogue box to select the specified folder to import.
When I start this import-proces, mail is blocking after a wile and also, it 
goes very slow.

Some thoughts:
Is a network-connectivity required while uploading mails from a external disc 
to the mail-app`?
Or can I be offline while importing the mails into the mail app so that I can 
upload them later to my gmail-account?

The speed of this transaction seems very slof for 
me!
Any ideas about this?


I hope to hear of you!

Best regards,
William Windels

verifying time-machine backus on a remote (nas)drive

[William Windels]

Hello all,
I was doing some research because of the corrupted time-machine backups I have 
on my remote nas drive connected with wifi.
A solution could be to verify myself the time-machine backups myself regularly.
This should be done with something like:
“press the option key while clicking on the time-machine icon”a option to 
verify the backups should appear.

I don’t know how to activate this with voiceover?

Any hints to verify my time-machine backups with voiceover


thx for your answer.

William Windels

safari on iOS and activating open pages

[William Windels]

Hello,
i have ios 9.2.1 installed and now, but before also I think, it happens that I 
can’t re-activate opened webpages. I can tab the webpage and voiceover gives 
the sound of a acctivated element but the page is not opened again.

Perhaps, it could be because there are to much pages opened and they  aren’t 
all shown on the screen. 
But when I swipe to the right/left, voiceover speaks all opened pages.

Any solution to reopen pages (also if there are many opened pages=10),  its 
very welcome.

Kind regards,
William Windels

canon lide 700f and ocr

[William Windels]

Hello,

Perhaps someone can help me with my canon 700f lide on osx 10.11 and specially 
for scanning multipage documents

I was using the program mp navigator ex from canon to work with my scanner and 
osx.
Since every big osx version, I need to search for a updated version program to 
let it work with osx.

The program is hard to install but I can use it after installing it.
The biggest reason I use this program, is that I can configure the 4 quick keys 
on the scanner to do fast actions like printing, mailing, scanning and ocr or 
scanning and recognize.

But now, I’ll stop this tricky updates and I am looking forward for a program  
that can be updated automatically, that works with the cannon 700f like and if 
possible, that can configure the 4 keys at the frond for quick actions.

Of course , I am also happy to hear how I can do scan tasks in general, if you 
aren’t using such scanner or oct-software anymore.

Thx for any reaction,

Kind regards,
William Windels

time-machine problem

[William Windels]

Hello all,

I have a nas from qnap to make time-machine backups and mostly it works fine
But Since I use this nas for Time-machine since january 2015, it’s the second 
time, now and one tim 
e in july, that all backups from the past are deleted.

I receive the followingg message:
:application alert system dialog Time Machine completed a verification of your 
backups on “BackupSchijf(TimeMachine)”. To improve reliability, Time Machine 
must create a new backup for you. Click Start New Backup to create a new 
backup. This will remove your existing backup history. This could take several 
hours.”

I found no specific reason of this problem on the internet and also, the 
macbook of my wife is also connected to the nas for time-machine and she makes 
backups since january without any problem.

My macbook is running 10.11.1 and my wife runs 10.10.5.
But, since my problem was also there in july , with 10.10.5 I think, it doesn’t 
matter which version of osx is installed.

All idea’s are very welcome.

Kind regards,
William Windels

ms outlook 2016

[William Windels]

Hello,
I have 2 accounts imported in my microsoft outlook 2016 program on my mac.
ON windows, there is a hotkey , I believe ctrl+y to go to the inbox list.
I believe on this way, you can switch between different accounts.
Is here someone who works with outlook 2016 on the mac and knows how to work 
with more then 2 accounts?

ms office 2016 and apple accessibility

[William Windels]

Hello all,

I have just bought ms office 2016 for the mac. During my first use, outlook , 
word is accessible, excel I haven’t played with it.
However, I hope but I am very curious if Apple accessibility should make 
optimalisations for voiceover so that we can use ms office as good as possible.
I mean: in 10.11.1 , there was a optimalisation for osx with ms office 2016 for 
all users.

E.g. In ms outlook: the suggestions of mail-dresses if you type some letters, 
aren’t shown I think or aren’t shown on a equal way like in mail.

And also a big challenge for apple accessibility is testing, testing and 
testing…

Any hints/comments/suggestions are very welcome.

installing old version of a iphone-app

[William Windels]

Hello,
I have updated a app called “nmbs” on my iphone6 with iOS 9.1  and now, this 
app isn’t accessible anymore.
I had no complete backup from my iphone6 with the good version of the app but I 
have a backup from my previous iphone5.
I have restored my iphone5-device so, the older version of the nmbs app should 
be there.
Then, I don’t know exactly if I can bring that older version of this app to my 
current iphone6.
I have a macbook pro with osx El capitan 10.11.1 and the backups of the 2 
phones are on that macbook.

All hints are very welcome to replace the newer version with the older version.

Kind regards,
William Windels

frustrated about Apple accessibility

[William Windels]

Hello Listers,

Here I am not speaking of me questions about activities but about the reaction 
of accessibility.

This is the second time I receive such kind of a answer from accessibility.
short explanation:
I ask Apple accessibility why my macbook goes so slow when I have build some 
activities  and switch between the programs that are inserted in the activities.
They told me that they can’t  give support  from this mail-adres  and that I 
should contact the (paid) service apple care.

In the past, I thought they should ask more steps so that they can try to 
reproduce  the issue.
or in the worst case: “we wil forward this to the appropriated people”.

I have never seen this before, and you?

All comments are very welcome.

Kind regards,
William Windels

bringing multiple pdf-files together in one pdf document

[William Windels]

Hello all,

I red something that you can add multiple pdf-files to one pdf-document with 
preview.
However, it should be possible to drag and drop files from the finder in the 
active document in preview.
This doesn’t work for me with vo+, and vo+. to drag and drop files.

Anyway, can someone here combine multiple pdf-files in one pdf-file ?

A workaround could be to oc all files together to one file but there is perhaps 
something better.



Thx for the advices.

Kind regards,
William

10.11 and braille

[William Windels]

Hello all,
I was reading the bug and feature report of Kris , thx for that.
As announced in that blog, there was not much braille testing with 10.11 while 
this is for me and others important.

Some first remarks:
1.  It happens often that I have braille on the display but I can’t move 
around. The trick seems to be that I have to switch to another program and then 
I should  come back. A kind of screen refreshing is needed here perhaps?

2.  I turn vo-cursor on the braille display off because dots 7 and 8 are 
used for capitals and some computer signs.
When this is turned off, I can’t see on the display which application has the 
focus while switching from app to app with command+tab. (Yes, I can hear it but 
sometimes I don’t use sound if I am in a course.
I suggested accessibility to put the selected program on the most left position 
on the display or, like in windows with jaws, only the selected program should 
appear on the display while switching from one program to another.

3. Not all controls like radiobuttons , checkboxes, comboboxes, edit-fields , 
are presented with symbols on the display. Mostly, they are fully written in 
dutch “keuzerondje=radiobutton, aankruisvakje=checkbox, keuzelijst=combobox …
This should be represented with symbols like { }/{x} [ ] [x] ( )/(x) …
I subpose that the controls like above, are  presented with this kind of 
symbols when the interface-language is set on English.
This is een old question I think but still not changed.

Any comments or reports to apple accessibility are very welcom

Kind regards,
William Windels

changing order of (known) wifi-networks

[William Windels]

Hello all,

In the preferences of the network-settings , there you can change the order of 
the known networks in the tab advanced.
This would be nice to change for me because the computer should try co connect 
first to the known networks with best quality.

I see no way with voiceover to change that order of the known networks.
drag and drop seems not to work vo+shift+m gives also no options, and citing 
and pasting isn’t working also.

Any ideas or is this not possible?

Many thx,
William

installing the public beta of el capital on my second computer

[William Windels]

Hello all,
I have installed the public beta of el capital on my Mac mini and would like to 
do the same for my macbook pro. Both have the samen apple id and if I do now 
the same rollback procedure on my macbook pro, I receive a code to change in 
the app store.
This code is the same as the code Ihave used on my mac mini.

So, it seems I can’t install the public beta on my second computer.

Or there any solutions for this problem or is this not possible / allowed?
Kind regards, Willima Windels

Re: annoying quicknav problem in osx 10.10 and 10.11

[William Windels]

Hello all,
this tread has become a mixed tread but I am speaking about the original 
question.

I thought that the quicknav letters on a webpage only should work when the 
cursor isn’t in a interacted edit-field.
So, I thought that I could combine the quicknav keys on a webpage on one side 
and type anything I want in interacted edit-fields when I am interacted with 
that field.
If this is what it should be, I have found a bug I think.

Ok, I can set off the quickness keys on the quicknav section of the voiceover 
program but if it goes automatic, it’s much better ;)

thx for your comments,
William

annoying quicknav problem in osx 10.10 and 10.11

[William Windels]

Hello all,

I have 2 frustrating quicknav problems (at the moment I use the gm of El 
Capitan but this problems where also present with osx 10.10)   

1:
sometimes when I am in a interacted formfeeld on a webpage to fill in text
, I can’t pressing some letters while quicknav is on.
e.g. if I press “c” in a word to type in that field, voiceover says that no 
checkbox is found.
I thought that quicknav should detect in a form field that letters ware symbols 
to fill in an aren’t commands , together with the quicknav command.
Specially on a website , where I mainly use quicknav, is this very frustrating.

This seems a old bug to me that isn’t fixed…
ok, a workaround could be to turn of quicknav but it’s easy to forgot…

Any suggestions?

And the second problem about quicknav:
When I change the rotor for some reasons to e.g. words, it’s sometimes 
frustrating that the arrow-keys aren’t working normally in finder if the 
setting was set before to words.
Here, it should be nice if you could set a default rotor position when entering 
a new program.

Ok , Here, I could turn of quicknav to solve it.

Anny sugestiong/comments are very welcome.

Kind regards,

William Windels

ps: I have tried to use the feedback assistant of osx el capitan but, there 
were some errors in my support-request I couldn’t determine (marked in red)

 I tried using Apple's screen sharing and it does not send audio between my

 voiceover and do all the usual things but that audio never made it back 
 through. Wish you could send your audio from a Mac to another Apple device 
 over a network. Then I could somehow set the remote machine to send its audio 
 back to my mac and control it with screen sharing. I think last time this 
 came up somebody suggested having Skype on the remote machine set to

Re: login on a remote disc

[William Windels]

hoi Chris and others,
thx for the response.
With command+k,
I have just discovered that username@ip-adres brings also up the login as 
dialoge.
But, the pasword, I can’t give as a parameter.
But next to that, and if I understand well of you, the backups are not ready to 
browse in the finder if no backup is made on that moment.

Is this right?

Kind regards,

login on a remote disc

[William Windels]

Hello all,
I am curious if the procedure to login on a network-drive  is accessible.
In my situation, I am logged in on a network-drive but I should be able to 
disconnect the remote disk and login with another user.
In the finder, I can see a disconnect button next to the name of the user that 
is used for login in to the disc.
But this button can’t be activated with voiceover (vo+space)
Any hints to login with another user on a remote disc are very welcome.

Kind regards,
William Windels

installing sword 2016 on the mac

[William Windels]

Hello all,
since 9 juli mosaic 2016 for mac is released. I had the preview version 
installed before but I see no option to upgrade to a full version.
If I press the upgrade button, the app is crashing.

Anyway, I have 2 questions:
1. is msoffice 2016 and word on the first place, mainly accessible in the final 
release?
2. It seems I can’t install a trial without doing a registrationproces..
So frustrating sometimes that many software companys needs to know personal 
information  before to download even a test-version.

If the office-suite is mainly accessible, where can I find the 
(trial)installation-package?

Kind regards,
William Windels

Re: synchronise files/folders privately

[William Windels]

Hello Chris and others,
Thx for the suggestion.
I think this isn’t the solution I am waiting for because:
Items aren’t offline available on the macbook since they are only stored on the 
nas.
Also, since iOS hasn’t a explorer built in , the backup from the iphone with 
itunes should not give my acces to particular files/folders from the iphone.

It’s already possible to view files stored on the nas from iOS with the qfile 
app from nap.

Many thanx for other suggestions.
Kind regards,
William Windels
I only need a program/system that can synchronize files between my macbook and 
other mac computers on one side  the nas on the other side.

 So if your iphone/ipad is synched/backed up to your Mac via iTunes then all 
 the files are local on the Mac, not in icloud. If you could set iTunes to 
 store these backups in a network drive from your NAS, would that not get you 
 where you want to be?

sword 2016 pre release

[William Windels]

Hello all,
I have installed today the last prerelease version of msword2016 and I am so 
happy to see that the program is much more accessible then the version of 2011.

However. some basic things are not working as expected:

I want to insert multiple docx-files into one file.
For this, I go to the menu insert and chose there file…
There I can browse to the right folder easily but from there, something goes 
strange:
I can’t jump with a letter to a file in that list that begins with that letter;
It seems , I can’t hear which files are selected;
If I press command+a and then I press the insert button, only the first file in 
that folder is selected.


Also, with save as, to change the filename, is not working as it is in other 
dialogue-boxes of other mac programs.

I am also not shore but command+down/up-arrow is not going to the end or the 
beginning of the file (with quickness off).
And the last question:
Since this is a pre-release, what’s the most common way to address any 
(accessibility) bugs?

Many thanx for the answers,

William Windels

is the thermosmart app accessible?

[William Windels]

Hello everyone,
Is here someone who has experiences with the thermosmart and the corrresponding 
application on the iphone?
I have used the nest thermostat for some months but I will bring it back since 
my boiler isn't compatible completely with the nest thermostat or revers.
The boiler uses a open protocol to communicate with the thermostat and the nest 
thermostat is a closed protecol.

So, before I should decide to buy the thermosmart thermostat, the thermostart 
that uses the open protocol, I would like to know if the app is enough 
accessible with voiceover on the iphone.

Any hints are very welcome.

Kind regards,
William Windels

quality of osx with voiceover for people with dissablities

[William Windels]

Hello,

I am writing to you since the progress of the accessibility features are really 
pour in the last releases of osx 10.10.2.
The mac is still missing some important features against windows with a 
commercial screenreader, and this after more 6 years of  voiceover as built-in 
screenreader.
Ok, voiceover is still a free, built-in screenreader but on windows , there are 
2 free screenreader for the windows platform that are better in some cases than 
voiceover.

Braille is still very basicnin osx:
Some daily problems I discover with voiceover:
I can’t follow courses with only braille output (without speech) during 
colleges.
I mean: there is some important information missing on the braille display 
that’s only available with speech.

What is missing:
 1- no option for word wrapping: this can be useful for fast reading (loudly);
 2- no different modes line, structured, speech (like in jaws): specialy 
 structured mode in jaws is configurable, type of controls is shown, 
 interaction-levels could be shown on this way. 
 It’s e.g. very frustrating if you are in a text area and you can read all 
 with the braille-line but you can’t edit or simply move the cursor to any 
 position that is visible on the braille display.
 
 3- to know if quicknav is on/off before moving isn’t possible also.
 On this way , it’s very easy to lose your position in a text-area or a 
 window.
 The quick-nav option has also some bugs in general but is sometimes very 
 useful for navigation (and specially on a macbook).

 4- In some cases, the text that’s in the voiceover cursor is (always) 
 underlineed with dots 7-8. On this way , no other attributes are shown and 
 the cursor isn’t shown. If dots 7,8 are turned off, the cursor isn’t visible 
 at all and capitals aren’t shown also.
 
 5- When i put the cursor on a letter in a text I delete a .(dot) sign on the 
 left sign of the cursor and voiceover says sometimes something else.



further  braille bugs:
cursor routing on the first sign of the braille-display: the text on the 
display is gone;
when composing a message to multiple recipients , while the speech is saying 
correctly the contact that has the focus, the braille display isn’t following.

 Further:


Some bugs since 10.9 aren’t fixed:
the icons in the statusbar like the third party app dropbox can’t be accessed 
with voiceover from there.
The drag and drop-function with voiceover is not improved since the 
introduction in osx 10.7 and  gives not the same possibilities for blind users 
as for sighted users.
The button to mount all external (network)-stations at once in finder is not 
accessible with voiceover;

And some different points:
Ibooks was basically accessible with voiceover after one update from osx 10.9 
to osx 10.10.

iWork’s is mainly accessible but is still missing some important compatibility 
options to work together with ms office.
(most of the people that work in a administrative job, use windows with ms 
office).

I still love the mac because of some intuïtive features like the trackpad with 
voiceover, time-machine, the possibility to maintain the system as blind user 
on my own.
But , I don’t know if the newest features for blind users are good and 
innovative enough to spend that much money on.

With so great financial results the last weeks that where announced from Apple, 
I should hope that more innovation is coming for people with disabilities.

Keep on the work that  Steve Jobs has started.

Kind regards,
William Windels

Re: insert multiple files in one document

[William Windels]

Hello David and others,

I have tried to insert multiple txt-files in one new pages-document with 
pages09 and this I could do without any problem.

But also here: the doc-files where dimmed.

My conclusion at this point is that I can’t  insert multiple doc-files in one 
document in one step on the mac.

If this is really true, this is simply a very stupid and unacceptable missing 
feature on the mac for voiceover users…

The last weeks, I am more and more disappointed about basic operations that 
needs always a workaround  or are simply not possible.
Ok, microsoft should make a accessible office-product for us but , Apple isn’t 
always making products that give possibilities for all daily needs.
ms-office documents are much more available on the internet and on workplaces 
than Apple-formats.

Thx to read this.

Kind regards,
William Windels

Re: Any Way Around The Add Quick Event in the Calendar Application?

[William Windels]

Hi,
thx for the workaround about the .-symbol in the search field.
However idd, this is a workaround.

That this feature isn't present you said, seems strange to me.
In ios, you can press teh list button in day-view and there you can see all 
future events, also recurring events are included and past events aren't shown.

If this is idd right, it seems normal to me that this seame functionallity 
should be available on osx and ios.
Any comments are very welcome.

kind regards,
William windels

 Hi,
 
 This is not a real feature in the Calendar app on the Mac and has been a 
 source of frustration for many folks who are used to that feature in Outlook. 
  A kind of workaround is to press cmd-f (Find) then enter the period 
 character into the Search field followed by the return key.  Navigate to the 
 search results at the bottom of the calendar window and you’ll have all 
 results within a list format.  The problem here is that it will list “all” 
 your results, past and present visible in your calendar.  It appears to not 
 show recurring events.  Not the best workaround but usable if you wish to see 
 this style of view.

 When you do the Quick Event process, enter the first incident of the event,

 will be applied to your event, but the Info window for the event is still 
 open.  Navigate around adjusting frequency, location, invitees etc.  The 
 Calendar is very configurable, you can set events to happen every specific

some calendar issues on osx 10.10.1 and iOS 8.1.2

[William Windels]

Hello , 
Managing appointments is changing fast on iOS/osx depending of the new versions 
of the os and the changes Apple makes to this program.
At the moment, I find it  uncomfortable on osx to manage my appointments:
I can’t browse all my appointments in a kind of list view so that I see al my 
made appointments across different dates in the future.

Also, adding a appointment is not so comfortable:
When I type the description, I see no braille,
after typing the description , I couldn’t go to the next control to add 
location/specify time/date…
with quicknav on/off : not with the arrow keys or the trackpad.
If I press enter after typing the description, the voiceover goes to a kind of 
task bar (don’t know the word in English: bar with buttons : agenda’s view 
switcher and a search field).

The only way to make a appointment is to type something in the 
description-field like:
appointment on  3/1/2015 from 10:00 until 18:00

Also when I do command+t to goo to a specific date, I have to do a kind of 
mouse-click so that I should go to the asked date.

I hope this bugs are a little bit clear and, any hints or other programs are 
very welcome.

Kind regards,
William Windels

 Hi!
 Well i can’t agree more with you William.
 I have written to the accessibility team about this but i only get a thank 
 you we will bring this to our devs.
 Braille is probably not very important for the accessibility team.
 But i guess thats how it goes.
 I remember when hal came out for windows it didn’t had braille support.
 But after a lot of complaints the dolphin team made hal work great with 
 braille.
 This is why i really don’t want to throw away windows yet as the 
 screenreaders for windows still are far better with braille support.
 Also linux has far better braille support.
 If you don’t mind i would like to forward your message to the list to the 
 apple accessibility team.
 I am not very good in explaining things in English as Swedish is my main

 And your mail was exactly what i would like to tell them.

 Hello all,
 
 I would like to have your opinions about he braille evolutions in osx:
 
 Since the introduction of braille in 10.5, only a few changes are made:
 adding more supported displays in 10.5.x
 adding more braille-tables in 10.6.x
 and I believe in 10.7: a few configuration-options to configure the 
 popup-messages.
 If I remind well, this is all that is changed in the braille settings.
 
 Since I use my macbook air in a course I follow, I discover that it’s very 
 hard to use osx without speech.
 
 What is still missing in my opinion after 6 years of evolution from 10.5 to 
 10.10:
 1- no option for word wrapping: this can be useful for fast reading (loudly);
 2- no different modes line, structured, speech (like in jaws): specialy 
 structured mode in jaws is configurable, type of controls is shown, 
 interaction-levels could be shown on this way. 
 It’s e.g. very frustrating if you are in a text area and you can read all 
 with the braille-line but you can’t edit or simply move the cursor to any 
 position that is visible on the braille display.
 
 3- to know if quicknav is on/off before moving isn’t possible also.
 On this way , it’s very easy to lose your position in a text-area or a 
 window.
 
 4- In some cases, the text that’s in the voiceover cursor is (always) 
 underlineed with dots 7-8. On this way , no other attributes are shown and 
 the cursor isn’t shown. If dots 7,8 are turned off, the cursor isn’t visible 
 at all and capitals aren’t shown also.
 
 5- When i put the cursor on a letter in a text I delete a .(dot) sign on the 
 left sign of the cursor and voiceover says sometimes something else.
 
 Any hints, solutions, corrections on this points are very welcome.

Mac mini (2014) with osx 10.10 and the magic trackpad

[William Windels]

hello,
yesterday, i configured my new macmini witch succes except the magic trackpad. 
the trackpad was turned on and i could see that thee trackpad was connected 
with bluetth to my mac mini in the bluetooth panel.
in voiceover, i turned on trackpad but i couldn't use voiceover with the 
trackpad. turning 2 fingers clockwise on the trackpad with the vo keys was not 
solving the problem.
so, the trackpad do'nt work at the moment with vo.

the oonly think i can think:
while connecting the trackpad for the first time, the setup asked mme to move 
the cursor with the trackpad to the buttoon next but this wasn't poossible for 
me since voiceover couldn't use the trackpad at that moment.
any ideas?

many thanx foor the suggestions and the help

multitouch trackpad with mac mini (2014) and osx 10.10

[William Windels]

Hello,
I bought the newest mac mini with osx 10.10 installed on it and also with a 
magic trackpad.

I have configured the mac mini successfully except the magic trackpad : is not 
working with voiceover.

The trackpad commander is activated in the voiceover preferences and the 
trackpad is turned on and successfully connected with bluetooth to the mac mini.

The only thing I can think about is the procedure to connect the trackpad to 
the mac:
on a moment, I had to move with the magic trackpad to the next button to 
connect the trackpad. This wasn’t possible for me I think because voiceover 
wasn’t recognizing the trackpad at that moment so I couldn’t move with the 
cursor to the button.

Any hints to connect my magic trackpad to my mac mini are very welcome.

Kind regards,
William Windels

opening not authorized programs

[William Windels]

Hello,

I was trying to open a program that I have downloaded from the internet but I 
couldn’t do that because my security settings where set to allow only programs 
to install from the app store and known developers.

Perhaps , this is a good/save option but sometimes , I would like to install 
other programs also.

I know , I can change this in the security pannel but there is also a option 
with control and clicking on the program to allow to install that program only.

My question: is there a way for vo-users to select this option for one time 
with a similar procedure?

Kind regards,
William Windels

(old) bug with voiceover

[William Windels]

Hello,

I am still using mavericks on my macbook air 2012 (4gb ram) and have the 
following questions :
1.  When I do 2 fingers down on my trackpad to read the text from the 
cursor to the bottom, the cursor is jumping every time to the beginning of the 
document and starts reading from there.
This bug appear in different editors: textedit, pages missus writer pro…

2.  moving around in rtf text in textedit, pages and nidus writer pro  with 
quicknav off is not working consistently.
I can’t move lines down up without the cursor that is jumping away without 
reason.
This problem is gone when I convert the text to plain text.
In my opinion , selecting text is one of the basic tasks on a computer  but not 
every time simple on osx.
On a macbook air, I do command+shift+down-arrow to select text from the cursor 
to the end of the file, is this correct?

Possible problems:
- the selection proces should be stopped because of some (hidden) escape 
characters in the text.
If this is the case, it seems strange to me for a screenreader that is more 
then 5 years old;
- the selection proces should be stopped because some bars on the screen that 
are part of the editor that is used: That I can understand since this is also 
the case on ms word with windows an a screenreader like jaws.
- or perhaps because of the quicknav that’s on: in my opinion with quicknav on 
, this should also work to select text when the rotor is e.g. in line-mode;
Since 10.6, the introduction of quicknav , this was/is a great feature but 
still has the same bugs as 10.6.
E.g. When moving with quicknav on in pages , I am switching between the main 
text area  and the feedtekst/toptekst area (if this is the right word in 
English)

3. evolutions of braille:
Since the introduction of braille in 10.5, only a few features have been added:
more braille tables and the possibility to set off the quick messages. Perhaps 
some other improvements but they are little I think.
What is still missing after 6 years of evolution from 10.5 to 10.9:
- no option for word wrapping,
- no different modes line, structured, speech (like in jaws).
This should be useful while working without speech (while following courses). 
With the braille only, it’s not always clear if you have to interact, press a 
button , can copy text … if speech is disabled.
- No option for unlimited or 8 pixels for a space: useful to hide more than one 
space and so more information on the braille display.
- underlining of text when the text is in the vo-cursor gives no advantage at 
all I tink. So, the dots 7 and 8 are not free to mark styles of the text or if 
the text is selected or not.


I hope but I don’t think so that most of this problems are solved in 10.10. I 
red something about quicknav in safari, and this is good but I haven;t heard 
anything about braille.

Any comments are very welcome.

KInd regards,
William Windels

accessible nas disc question

[William Windels]

Hello,
I would like to buy a has disc.
It should be my first has disc and I don't know that much about the types that 
exists at the moment.

I would like to have the following:
-   a nas disc with as good as  accessible interface (from osx, windows and 
iOS);
-   accessing the files from osx , windows and iOS;
-   the nas disc should also have the function of a time-machine backup 
disc;
-   I think a storage of at least 2tb should be possible?

Prices are not important at this moment.

Any hints are very welcome,

kind regards,
William Windels

conversion of multiple ppt(x) files at once

[William Windels]

Hello,
I am looking for a simple way to convert multiple documents between different 
formats.
Specially ppt(x) files  I need to convert to a text-format: rtf, txt, doc, pdf.

Google found a program: doxillion that is enough accessible with voiceover and 
there is a free version to try.
Unfortunately , the paid mac-version gives nothing more in my opinion and for 
my needs: it can't also convert ppt(x) files to another format while the 
windows-version do it for the same price ;)

It would so nice if someone could give me a mac-solution for ppt(x) conversion 
for multiple files at once.

Kind regards,

I have my macbook air and 2 airplay (airport express) with speakerson it.

For any strange reason, I can't change the volume-values of all the airplay 
connected speakers  separately.
Voiceover said slider and after interacting with it, I can't change the values 
of e.g. the speakers in my office and my living room.

Is this a bug or is a other action needed?

thx for the answers,

kind regards,
William Windels

working with numbers

[William Windels]

Hello all,

I did my first real steps with numbers 13 and I have some questions:

I was looking after some windows alike navigation options I couldn't find  in 
the hotkey summary:

move to the next/ previous cel with contents up/down or left/right,
IN ms office , I think you can do this with control +up/down or left/right,
IN the hotkey summary, there are also some hotkeys that are based on the mouse.
e.g. to select a whole row/column, you should click on a cel in that row/column 
and then select the corresponding number for the row or letter for the column.
Does this work with voiceover?

If there are special hints for iWork's 13 with voiceover and specially numbers, 
it would be great to hear of it.

Kind regards,
William Windels

iOS 7.1.1 and some problems

[William Windels]

Hello,

I thinks since iOS 7.1.1 on my iphone 5, I have some strange problems.

1.  In the calendar:
I can't always changing starting/ending time (date, hours, minutes). When I do 
a swipe right, I go e.g. from starting hours to ending date.
And sometimes, When I do a swipe back , I see the fields that where missing but 
sometimes not.
This seems the case in all time/date fields in the native calendar app.

2.  And a second problem that occur in different native iOS apps:
I swipe to a button, the button is spoken and when I do a double tab on the 
screen, I hear the sound like there is no element selected for activation.

I hope that this problems are clearly explained and perhaps someone can give 
suggestions or confirmations of this problems.

Kind regards,
William

selecting non-contigiuos contacts to add on a group in the contacts app

[William Windels]

 Hello,
 I would like to add different contacts of my contactlist to a group in the 
 contacts app I have created.
 
 I have made the group successfully and I can also copy and paste a contact 
 from the list of all my contacts to that group.
 
 Unfortunately, it seems not possible to select noncontiguous contacts on the 
 global contactlist to copy them in one step to my created group.
 I press vo+command+space on a contact in the global list but this action 
 gives no result.
 
 So, my question: (how) can I select noncontiguous contacts in the contact app 
 to copy them to a new group inside the contacts app?
 
 Any hints are very welcome.
 
 Kind regards,
 William Windels

 If you are on Mavericks, that command has changed to vo-cmd-enter. I haven't 
 tested this, but try:
 
 1. Interact with the table of contacts you want to select, and move to the 
 first of the contacts to be copied.
 2. VO-cmd-enter twice (it was selected, so the first time de-selected it).
 3. VO-arrow to the next one you want. Be sure not to arrow without the vo 
 keys as this will de-select everything. Once on the next one, vo-cmd-enter 
 (only once from here on out).
 4. Once you have done this for all the contacts you want, cmd-c, move to your 
 new group, and cmd-v.
 
 Again, I haven't personally tested this, but it works in Finder and I imagine 
 it will work in Contacts.

statusbar in 10.9.2 mavericks

[William Windels]

Hello everyone,

Since some time, I believe since mavericks or perhaps also in 10.8, the icons 
like dropbox , Skype, and other tirdparty apps can't be activated with 
vo+space. But, the icons that are part of the system: time-machine, dat/time, 
user-options... are perfectly accessible with vo+space.
What could be wrong and perhaps: what could be the solution or workaround?

Any hints are very welcome

Re: statusbar in 10.9.2 mavericks

Hello Chris and others,

Idd, it has worked for me also since 10.8 but no, it seems not to work anymore:
I  use Dropbox v2.6.25 and I do  the following:
vo+m+m : to goeie to the statusbar;
vo+arrow to goeie  to the dropbox-icon;
There I press vo+space or dubbel tab on the trackpad or vo+enter;
(the cursors are following each other).

I receive the message from voiceover when I tab on the (dropbox) icon:
the keyboard-focus can't be placed on the window; (it's translated from dutch 
so it's something like that).

Someone else knows this problem?

Thx for any responses,

pages 13 and ms-office compatibility

[William Windels]

Hello all,
I have discovered that pages 13 is a nice evolution for accessibility. I try to 
work with it as default wordprocessor with quiet good results.
However, I was wondering if I could do a import of fonts or other style object 
to have the maximum as possible compatibility with ms office.
If there is a good solution for this, I will pay for it, if necessary.

Any hints are very welcome.

Thx all for the help,

kind regards,
William Windels

Re: pages 13 and ms-office compatibility

[William Windels]

Hello Kawal and others,
I mean pages that came out with mavericks in 2013, pages version 5.1.1.
You can see the version number in the menu-item pages and there about pages.

Kind regards,

 Hello all,
 I have discovered that pages 13 is a nice evolution for accessibility. I try 
 to work with it as default wordprocessor with quiet good results.
 However, I was wondering if I could do a import of fonts or other style 
 object to have the maximum as possible compatibility with ms office.
 If there is a good solution for this, I will pay for it, if necessary.
 
 Any hints are very welcome.
 
 Thx all for the help,

Re: PDF documents and filling in PDF forms.

[William Windels]

hello all,
I am very interested in filling in pdf-documents.

I have just installed pdfpen but, it seems I couldn’t fill in/overwrite ………  
fields.
I went to edit mode with command+2 but no chance.

I had tested it with pdfpen and saw then that there was also a pdfpenpro 
version.
Unfortunately, there was no upgrade function so, I have paid twice : 1 time for 
the normal version and 1 time for the pro?

But also in the pro, I see no ways to fill in forms with command2 =editmode.

The pdf is with text (no images) so I can read all very well.
Perhaps are there some other dependenties that can make a pdf-document 
inaccessible for us to write in?

Kind regards for any suggestions.

 You might try PDFpen Pro. I used it this year to do my tax forms. It seems to

 Sorry for the slip. You can read PDFs in textEdit but to fill them in you 
 need PDFPen. Have you given that a try? You can download a free trial here:

 but if you like it they want $60.

 Just a little tip. I've had folks who received a PDF I filled out with

 that was but I cheated and re-printed it to a PDF on my end and that 
 seemed to fix it. To do that, even if you don't have a printer set up on 
 the Mac, you just hit command-P. This will pop a print dialog with 
 various printer options including picking a printer. Mine said No 
 Printer Selected. Anyway, ignore most of what's in that dialog and just 
 after the help button you'll find a PDF Menu button and if you drop that 
 down you'll find Save As PDF as the second option. In general, you can 
 use this to make a PDF of most document and web pages. Might not always 
 be super accessible since it's just redirecting printer output. That 
 sometimes puts parts of the page out of order and other common problems, 
 but it can be handy.

playing a internet stream with airplay

[William Windels]

Hello all,
With mavericks 10.9.2, I want to play a stream from the internet also with the 
airplay speakers.

If I open the url in safari, I hear the music in the speakers of my macbook air 
but not in my airplay speakers.


When I open the url from inside itunes with command+u, it seems that one of my 
local numbers is playing (also in the airplay speakers) but this is not the 
streamed info.

So, how can I play a stream (with itunes) so that I can hear also the music in 
my  airplay speakers?

kind regards for your help,

is webvisum still working

[William Windels]

Hello,
I want to try webvisum on mavericks but it seems not to work at all.

I have firefox version 26.0 and webvisum version  0.9.1 installed.
the problems are as follows:

after logging in in firefox:
add-ons  extensions  webvisum  prefferences, my password is always gone when 
I am lookingg back while it works to loggin on the site.
The tutorial-links gives 404 not found;
When I am on a captcha and I goeie to the menu of the plugin with a pre-defined 
hotkey, nothing happens;
the menu of firefox has a submenu in tools called webvisum. The webvisum menu 
should have a submenu also there there seems nothing in there.

So, my question:
is the service still working?
Perhaps I am doing something wrong?
If it’s not working anymore, is there a alternative solve captchas myself 
without assistance?

Kind regards for the answers

app for bank-accounts

[William Windels]

Hello,
I live in Belgium and I have a particular app from my financial bank to make 
transfers of money …

There seems a accessibility problem with the app: the screen is splitter in 2 :
1 part with my account at the top of the screen and at the bottom there is a 
kind of combo box (like the selection of a date in the agenda), to select one 
of my other accounts.
3/4 fingers down/up left/right seems not to work and  I can’t activate it by 
tapping on the place where seeing people can see the information I need.
On the mac, I should use  vo+j but , this isn’t available on ios.

Does anyone know iOS-app’s where the screen is splitter in 2 and if there is a 
way to jump between the different parts?

Kind regards,
William windels

Fwd: braille star 80 and osx mavericks

 Hello Margot from handy tech and apple accessibility,
 I find this a very pour answer from Apple  and specially, as always, they 
 don’t know when the problem will be resolved.
 My hardware = braille display including firmware haven’t changed so, in my 
 opinion, the problem is only caused 
 by the os.
 
 It’s so disappointing that apple doesn’t make any priority of supporting 
 older hardware on the way it was in previous versions.
 As quality label, waiting more then 3 months for a fix of this essential 
 hardware problem, for blind users, is not acceptable in my opinion.
 And, even more since the particular hardware isn’t working at all.
 
 
 I can only wish and pray that 10.9.2 is coming soon and brings a fix for this 
 problem.
 
 Kind regards,
 William Windels

 Hello  William,
 
 We are aware of this problem, and are assisting Apple to get it resolved. A 
 fix will soon be provided in the form of an OS update.
 However, we cannot specify exactly when the update will be released. 
 Unfortunately we are not aware of any workaround except to
 either wait for the update (which shouldn't take long), or, for the time 
 being, roll back to a previous version of MacOS.
 Sorry for not having a better idea!

 Hello,
 
 My handy tech braille star 80 isn't working anymore on osx mavericks 10.9
 while it works perfectly on 10.8.5.
 I have reported this at accessibil...@apple.com and they are investigating
 the problem.
 I tought with 10.9.1, the problem should be fixed but it wasn't.
 
 Perhaps you know more about changes in drivers or some other changes that
 are causing this problem?

editing audio tracks on the mac

Hello,
I would like to edit audio tracks that contains speech from a phone-call.
The quality is not that good so I want to make it better , if possible.

I have tried audacity but see not that difference  with the normalize option.
But perhaps more important: I can't edit any preferences, can't see the version 
and can't find a newer version in the app store.

So, is there a accessible (free) app for the mac to improve quality of 
mp3-files?

help with favorites bar in mail pls

[William Windels]

Hello,
It seems not that easy to reorder my mailboxes in the favorites bar of mail 
(osx 10.8.3):

I tried:
mark a mailbox for dragging from inside the favorites bar with vo+comma
then I received the message:  that this item can't be dragged.
I have tried it with a mouse-down action on de item to drag and the place to 
drop but this seems to do strange things.
Is this the procedure or can I do something else?

I think, the drag and drop function is far from equal to the action a sighted 
user is doing with dragging and dropping.
Or this functionality is still a work in progress since the introduction in10.6 
 or a new bug is created because of the updates of osx.

Any comments are very welcome,

Kind regards,

creating repeating appointments on calendar with osx

[William Windels]

Hello,
It seems so frustrating sometimes to work with the calendar on osx 10.8.3:
I want to create a appointment that repeated every 2 weeks starting at 
23/4/2013 and ending 18/6/2013.
I have several problems to set this specific repetition of every 2 weeks:
When I chose for a specific repetition in the combo box, I have a dialogue box.
There  the frequention is set to every week in the combo box and this is ok for 
me.
then vo+right end I can fill in a number  for every x weeks the event should 
repeate.
Then vo+right and I can fill in on which day(s) of the week the event should 
repeat with checking or unchecking the checkbox next to every day of the week.
Here, while the speech is saying checked, braille is showing unchecked. ;)
Also here: every checkbox that has vo-cursor on my braille display, becomes 
checked…
When I close this dialogue box for the days of the week and  the frequent ion 
with the ok-button, the focus isn't jumping back automatically to the screen 
with the basic information of my event…

Also , when I change a appointment that's part of a repetition, There is a 
message that asks if I want to change all the appointments of the repetition or 
only the event I am editing.
Unfortunately, this question is asked in a new window but is not having focus 
automatically.

Conclusion:
If this situation is clear and true, I can only conclude that the calendar in 
10.8.3 has some voiceover bugs that  will be fixed next to some new bugs Apple 
ail make.

In my personal opinion, the quality of voiceover in osx is going down and the 
advantage of having one company for the os and the screenreader is not a 
advantage since they do not enough tests before the release and are debugging 
so slowly sometimes.

With frustrated regards,
William Windels

backspace key in safari 6.0.3 in osx 10.8.3

Hello,
I found a terminal command to re-enable the backspace key in safari but it

1. closed  safari,
2. pasted the following command in terminal:
defaults write com.apple.Safari 
com.apple.Safari.ContentPageGroupIdentifier.WebKit2BackspaceKeyNavigationEnabled
 -bool YES;
3. Opened safari and tested the backspace key by surfing on a page and go back 
one age.

questions about nvalt v2.1

[William Windels]

Hello,
I have some questions about nvalt 2.1.

It's interesting for me since you can very easily write notes and find them 
back and, you can make a link in files to other files you have made with nvalt.

It seems very accessible and there are a lot off hotkeys but , voiceover is 
doing strange.

Going to the beginning or end of a line with quicknav off and 
command+left/right arrow, seems not to work as expected.
It seems not always to work for activation a link. I happens when I press the 
internal link, I am editing the link.

Next to this 2 frustrating bugs, the program seems accessible..

Any comments about this bugs, workarounds or other possibilities are very 
welcome.

using bootcamp inside win7 to restart the mac

[William Windels]

Hello,

Are there some tricks to set osx as boot disc for the next time from inside 
win7?
I have win7 installed with bootcamp and osx 10.8.
On windows I can use nvda or window eyes8.

With the option bootdisc in osx, I can easily setup the bootcamp partition to 
load after reboot. But, when I want to reboot in mac after using win7, It seems 
more difficult. In the start menu of win7, I type bootcamp and can find a 
couple of things but not the possibility to reboot directly in mac.

My workaround for now is to shutdown win7 by pressing alt+f4 until I have the 
restart option.
Then , when The mac reboots, I press command+r to boot in recovery-mode and 
there I can change again the boot disc.

But, this seems a unnecessary long way to me.

thx for your help,
Kind regards,
William WIndels

bug in calendar on mac

[William Windels]

Hello,
When I have a appointment with a repetition e.g. every day at 5pm during 7 
days, I can't change the time for one particular day in that repetition on osx.
If I do the same action on iOS, I receive a message like:
do you want touch change the time for this day only or for all the days in the 
repetition?

If this bug is really the case, it's sometimes so frustrating that apple is 
doing only a half of there tests they should do for a good working system.

With frustrated regards,
William Windels

free accessble alternative for the switch convertor

[William Windels]

Hello,
I think, it was discussed before about audio conversion on the mac but I can't 
remember. I would like to convert mov-files to mp3. Since the switch app isn't 
free anymore, I was wondering if there is a accessible free alternative that 
can convert at least mov to mp3.

Any hints are very welcome,

kind regards,
William Windels

blind memory problems on my iphone5 with ios6.1

[William Windels]

 
 Hello,
 For who is playing blind memory, I have troubles with the game.
 It works fine to start and I can play the game but when I make a mistake in 
 the sequences of gestures, I hear the sound of a wrong gesture and nothing 
 more.
 I mean: I don't hear my result.
 I haven,t asked assistance from a sighted user so I don't know if the 
 programs really crashing but when I put voiceover back on, I am out of the 
 program. 
 
 Also strange, the program seems not available anymore in the app store but 
 stays on my phone after synchronization.
 
 What are the possibilities to contact the author  or what 
 solutions/workarounds do others have for this problem?
 Kind regards,
 William Windels

pdf2html with batchconversie, does it exist anymore?

[William Windels]

Hello,
in the past , I had a program for the terminal to convert pdf to html.
It was a command-line program and was working fine for me.
Since I have reinstalled my new macbook air with mountain lion on it, I can't 
find that program anymore.

Is here someone that uses this program a the moment and can give me the file or 
a link to download it?

thx for your responses,

ocr apps comparison for the mac

[William Windels]

Hello,
I was wondering which ocr-app is the best at the moment.
I have abbyy fine reader express and it works good but no that much features.
What I miss there is scanning and ocr simultaneously and automatically.
as far as I understand, I have to scan first and the process all scanned pages 
for ocr.
Also, there are no preferences available.
Prizmo has perhaps more features but it seems , after a few test, that the 
ocr-proces is better of abby then prizmo.

Docuscan plus is not a app to scan and ocr texts?

I was looking after a podcast of applevis where is described how to scan, I 
thought it was with docuscan.

So,
What kind of app is accessible and able to manage the scan-prices and ocr the 
scanned text at the same time?

thx for all responces,
kind regards,
William

pdfconvertion (with a virtual printer)?

[William Windels]

Hello,
I was thinking of the pdf problem:
Is there no possibility to install a virtual printer driver on the mac so that 
you can print to a (txt)-file from any application like preview?

Other solutions:
I was looking for the program for mac called pdftohtml: it is a program I have 
used in the past from the terminal but it seems I can't find the mac version 
anymore.
Any hints:
about a printer drive that can print any file to a txt/rtf file or a valid 
copy/version of pdftohtml for the mac should be very welcome.

Kind regards,
William Windels

win7 ultimate on macbook air with bootcamp

[William Windels]

Hello,
I have installed win7 ultimate with bootcamp and the system works.
But, it seems the system loads very slow and it takes a long time after windows 
will start:
I hear the shound of the booting mac, then I have a screen (I suppose bootcamp) 
for a wile and after that, win7 boots.

How can I examine what's the reason of this delay?

and then a little question of topic:
it seems not yet possible for me to load my nuance voice with nvda 3.1 on my 
win7 system.
The nuance voice is installed and can speak but I can't see any way to let nvda 
use this voice in win7 ultimate.

Thx for the support,

kind regards,
William Windels

Re: A request to contact apple about pages. and article about accessibility problems

[William Windels]

hello,

I will contact them also about this and other issues with iWork's.

What I am thinking also:
why has nobody written a article for e.g. macworld about the accessibility 
issues in osx?
Since accessibility is a department inside apple, it's available for everyone 
but it isn't still sufficient for all daily needs like office.

There are a lot of articles for the main public about bugs, problems, feature 
requests but not about accessibility?

I would like to help but don't know how to start with it.

You can also contact me off list if you have good suggestions/toughts about a 
article
Kind regards,

 Hey Chris.  There are a lot of accessibility issues with Pages which frankly,

 Hi all.
 To some this isn't  important to you at all but please I'm asking for your 
 assistance to contact apple about pages and the following issue.
 I have already contacted them about the issue and i hope somebody on this 
 list will as well.
 The issue i have currently with pages is voiceover doesn't announce the text 
 alignment.
 It however will announce this within text edit and nidus writer express.
 Would anybody be so kind to help  me and also contact apple's support team?
 I have sent an email to apples pages team as well as apple accessibility.
 This is an issue for me currently that is a very annoyance because papers at 
 my university have to be aligned in many ways.
 If anybody has any suggestions for me, please let me know.
 Thank you for your time.
 Christopher Bruinenberg

Re: mac application prismo is half price in Mac app store

[William Windels]

Hello,
This app seems interesting, accessible with voiceover and seems to have more 
features then abby fine reader express that I am using on the mac.

However, I can figure out if this program is also designed to work with a 
scanner:  should it be possible to start/stop my scanner from inside the 
program?
Or is this program (only) designed to import pictures from the hd to ocr them?

If I can use the program with my scanner,  is it also possible to scan from 
inside the app while the ocr process is going?

Thx for your remarks.

Kind regards,
William Windels

 Hello Mary, Les, and Others,
 
 Apparently you can download a trial version of Prizmo 2 from the
 developer's web, but not, of course, from the Mac App store. Try going
 to the Macupdate page for this app and use the Download Now link:
 http://www.macupdate.com/app/mac/31157/prizmo
 I would be cautious about this, since I think Anne Robertson purchased
 Prizmo version 1, and wasn't very happy with it.  On the other hand,
 many people who did not think much of the first version seem to like
 the second version.  Not some thing I would buy without trying.
 
 Please note that you may need to make your purchase from the Mac App
 store to get the discounted MacWorld special price.
 
 HTH.  Cheers,
 
 Esther

 ios 10.7.5 in my original note.

Re: mac application prismo is half price in Mac app store

[William Windels]

Hello all,
I have played a little bit with it and indeed, It's possible to scan from 
inside the app but abbyy fine reader express seems to be a better job to ocr 
the text.
Also, it seems I can't ocr the text from inside the app when the text is 
scanned from inside the app.
Ocr seems only to work when I open a image in prizmo.

so, my first conclusions:
the ocr isn't even good as abbyy fine reader express and ocr from a scanned 
paper from inside the app seems not possible.

 This is advertised as a Macworld special, so I would guess it will not be on 
 long. But if you're running at least ios 10.7.5, this could be a good 
 scanning application. I'm on s/l still, so it is a no go for me. It is 
 supposedly vo friendly.
