my ample want series a and modern braille displays?

[maurice mines]

    Good morning everyone, my subject line pretty much says what I'm 
trying to figure out. What if any modern braille displays work with my 
Apple watch series 8?



I don't think either of the braille displays that I have will work when 
my watch at all. I have a Brailliant BI 40 It, I also have an older 
brilliant 40. The only other display around here that might be 
potentially usable is a old smart beetle, it's a 14 cell display. Any 
thoughts?




Sincerely Maurice Mines.

Re: Has anyone else noticed that dictation in Messages is broken?

[Maurice Mines]

You might try turning on voice control. Dictation does not happen 
automatically, as far as I know. But I think it would be better to turn on 
voice control. I think this is done on purpose to keep peoples machines from 
turning on dictation by mistake. Or having it start in the background. Without 
you knowing that it’s running. I hope this helps.

Please be aware that I am dictating this to my phone. So some of the message 
might not appear as it should.

Re: Questions about pages

[Maurice Mines]

Perhaps you might want to try to go to the file menu and open a second 
document. Then write what you want to write in the second document window or 
create that second document, but give it a different file name. Then you might 
be able to alt tab between the two correction shift tab between the two. I hope 
this helps?

A second possibility is to open up a text, edit document separate from your 
pages document. Write what you want in the text edit document then select all 
of that text and paste it into the pages document since there are two different 
applications involved here. Hopefully this potential suggestion will help you 
out. Back to sitting here trying to think of two sentences. Do you know why I’m 
trying to do this others may or may not know writers block it’s so much fun.

help with registering the community addition of VMware fusion?

[maurice mines]

My subject line pretty much says it all, unfortunately because of 
accessibility issues I downloaded the wrong version of VMware fusion. 
Now that I'm stuck in the middle of the evaluation of this wrong version 
it appears that even though Aira has tried to assist me with this 
situation it appears that this is beyond their level of understanding my 
instructions.



While attempting to register and obtain a VMware player relicense. It 
says that my login information is not valid. I can certainly according 
to the website reset my password. But I'm stopped cold by a captcha! 
This is absolutely awful for those of us were blind and especially bad 
for those of us were deaf blind. The accessibility person or this 
company apparently is on this list. Can that person please contact me 
off list to find a solution to this issue. Meaning I'd like to use the 
community addition of VMware fusion, called VMware player. But it 
appears I'm going to need some help with obtaining that community use 
license key.



Please note that the text that I've dictated to the computer above this 
line, may have errors, and potential misspellings because of the 
additional disability. A written expression disorder. If there's 
something that you truly don't understand, please reach out to me and 
asked me what did I really mean? Thank you all in advance for reading this.

Re: Paypal

[Maurice Mines]

Hello everyone, this is why I stopped using this service. Issues like this. 
Your message, situation. That you described earlier on this list sounds like an 
extreme phishing attempt. Not answer reply or do anything with a message that 
you don’t know, or you’re not working with anyone closely.

What I would do, just write down the apparent fraudulent email message and or 
copy it. Lead it. Then report it to the proper authorities. I would certainly 
not reply to any message like this. All they want is your information. Don’t 
give it to them.  And if you continue to get messages from what were the says 
that you’re not expecting block realm. And again report it to the appropriate 
authorities. Just want to sense worth. Of a rule, unless it’s something that I 
am Richmond, meaning pay a bill or something like that with PayPal I delete all 
PayPal messages. No questions asked.

some questions, and a request for help regarding my new Apple watch series 8 of the watch.

[maurice mines]

Good evening everyone, my subject line states I have some questions 
regarding my new Apple watch. The first question is are there any that 
can run on the watch that will allow the watch to give me a once in our. 
If someone knows about and am that will allow me to do this, as well as 
be accessible while using voiceover, please feel free to let me know if 
you know of any good accessible applications.



I next question as to do more with battery life, and finding that it is 
typical that I am getting roughly 24 hours plus from the battery that is 
in listening watch. That brings me to another question must I use my 
phone, to find out what the battery level is on the watch? My final 
question is based on what I've read the output of the watch can be 
mirrored on some the other devices, such as my phone or Mac computer. Is 
this true?



Sincerely Maurice Mines.


Note number one, just be aware that the above text has been dictated to 
the computer by using dictation software. If there are mistakes in the 
text above, they certainly aren't intended. The errors are the result of 
too much background noise, or other unforeseen errors that have occurred 
while dictating this. Number two this email is being done on a Windows 
machine, simply because the dictation hardware only exists full-blown 
Windows machine. This is because there is no dictation software that is 
comparable to Dragon the Mac world. Thank you for reading this.

What is the problem with music identification in iOS 16? Must we wait for the next update to the operating system?

[Maurice Mines]

My subject, mine pretty much states the entire problem, naming songs, and or 
finding out. What is the song title is appears to be broken. Any thoughts on 
why this is happening? I know that this might have been covered recently, but I 
get so much email set unless it’s happening to me. I tend to not read them. 
Because I get horrible amounts of mail on a daily basis. so does anyone have 
any good suggestions and one pops unless issue.

Just be aware that I am dictating this to my phone, please also be aware that 
anything I’m saying, here is not to be misconstrued as an endorsement of

Re: Good accessible apps

[Maurice Mines]

Hello everyone, I have two questions. I am trying to decide if I should go back 
to put in the Internet sit already on my Mac. Because the amount of 
questionable emails has skyrocketed in the last month or so. This please need 
to question number two, what products would be good? Because it seems everybody 
is an Internet security company.

I’ve read things about her past, but I don’t like the fact that it tells you 
with every email this message has been scammed by a boss. Also, I sent a lot of 
attachments. And I’ve read that about Dustin‘s to those attachments on the Mac. 
Any advice?

Just be aware that I am dictating this to my phone. So hopefully it is 
readable. Also, please be aware that my signature is just to show that I am 
sending the message from my phone. this message is personal, has nothing to do 
with the national Federation of the blind, or the national Federation of the 
blind duck blind division.

Re: VMWare Fusion On Mac OS Monterey

[Maurice Mines]

First of all let me say I’m dictating this to my phone because I’m just waking 
up. To don’t use VMware 11 you can only use version 12. I would strongly 
suggest the free version if that doesn’t work you’re likely to have to use 
parallel VMware with Drew from the Mac market as far as OS X Monterey they are 
focusing on the UNIX crowd not the Mac crowd I have used parallels but here’s a 
warning if they configuration doesn’t work it will mess with Apple‘s power 
management I have a MacBook Pro 2020 and long story short when I did that it 
went into a crash and reboot loop I have abandoned putting windows on my Mac 
but because I have to use windows or dictation  dictation one can read, 
separate windows machine now. Back and windows are now on different hardware. 
Works much better for me I’m not saying this is your situation nor am I 
suggesting that you should. I just want to make certain that you and others are 
aware of the issues.  Again please remember I’m dictating this to my phone so 
if you can’t understand some thing just ask me what I meant. Oh final note this 
doesn’t involve organizational endorsement or even advice on this. This is just 
the signature that goes on my phone.

Re: A clarification regarding my email that I just sent and put it relates to Microsoft word, are there different versions of Microsoft Word for the Mac the version I am running is the version within

[maurice mines]

hello, I happen to agree with you. Because I have a written expression 
disorder I'd say the 85 to 90% of the time when I have something to 
write in Microsoft Word I will use the Windows version. That's just 
simply because Dragon is only available for windows.



Let's talk about that virtual machine for second. I am having a great 
deal of problems with parallels. Specifically the programmed auto starts 
whenever I boot this machine. For some reason the program also launches 
team viewer automatically on the Mac side. Do you, or anyone else on 
this list know a good way to get this to stop. Because the other thing 
that happens is because parallels remains in the background or even in 
memory somewhere. When the machine goes to sleep it doesn't go to sleep 
in fact it crashes Microsoft's power management causing the machine to 
crash and I get the error that the sleep cycle is in the process that 
starts the sleep cycle crashes after 180 seconds according to the file 
that I was able to capture from the crash reporter. The issues regarding 
what I just described above have become so severe, that hopefully before 
this next week without a second computer that is windows only will come 
and I will leave the virtual machine world in favor of a separate 
machine so as to avoid the constant crashing when I'm not at my computer 
for any length of time. Or as I mentioned above especially when it comes 
time to just put the machine to sleep. I think that's a better way to 
manage its power at night or when I choose to leave it on and turn in 
for the evening.



I realize this might be a lengthy email. But please bear with me. The 
issues which I've described have become quite frustrating at times.



Now let me while I have the dictation software's attention. Let you know 
that I did figure out a way to get word for the Mac to display text 
appropriately not only in speech but more importantly in braille. 
Because I'm deaf blind. That means that although both Windows and my Mac 
I have screen reading programs that speak a lot. I really do rely on 
braille. So it is critically important that I have braille access on 
both sides of the machine. In closing I guess I'd say I would keep this 
virtual machine on this machine for whenever I can't take the new 
machine along or for whenever it's inconvenient to use the second 
machine but parallels, and team viewer, autoloading at the start of my 
Max boot up and parts of the system sticking around when I put the 
machine to sleep and/or forget to shut it down is rapidly becoming a 
dealbreaker. Any thoughts from anyone?



As you can guess just be aware that I am dictating everything that is 
written above to the computer so here's hoping that it all turned out 
okay. If there's something that I've written that you truly do not 
understand, drop me a line and ask me what my original intent might have 
been. I look forward to clearing up any concerns you might have based on 
everything that I've written above. Thank all of you in advance for 
reading all of this. Have a great evening.



Sincerely Maurice Mines.

Hello,
There are at least three different versions of Word for Mac .
1. Downloaded from Microsoft directly.
2. Installed via the Apple App Store.
3. The web based Outlook.

Hopefully you are not attempting to use that last one. The other two 
should be fairly close to each other, though the one in the App Store 
must go through some approvals from Apple in addition to the Microsoft 
internal and "insider" reviews.
But I have been able to use Microsoft 365 for about three years with 
no hard issues like what you describe.
I do have some troubles navigating tables, but since I run a Windows 
VM on the same machine that I use for word processing, I find it 
easier to use Word on that side.


Best wishes,

earlier to the list. I am using the version of Microsoft Word can change in 
office 365. Also just so that it’s clear I’m running old S 1012.0.2. Hopefully 
this clears things up. Hopefully my phone got all of this correctly so that 
someone can understand me as I am dictating it to my phone.

A question about Microsoft Word for the Mac, is it even remotely usable with voiceover?

[Maurice Mines]

Hello everyone, earlier today I had to attempt to read a document in word that 
was being typed by a Nother person, when I went to go attempt to read this 
document I could not get the video cursor to focus on the text that actually 
appears in the document is there a way to make this easier in other words can I 
get to the point that I can actually read the whole document instead of all the 
tool and menu bars any thoughts? just be a where I am dictating this to my 
phone. Hope everyone is well, and hope everyone can understand this message?

Re: Enabling dictation on an iMac (latest OS)

[maurice mines]

Good afternoon the best way to enable activation number yes did you following. 
One, to system preferences go when we to ability then go down voice control 
enable that. Just checking to make sure do you have the correct I can put 
source you want. For instants, I am using a professional audio set out to 
dictate this message because I'm testing hey stop for a zoom meeting tomorrow. 

I hope this helps?

Sincerely Maurice Mines. 

PS do you have to be careful if you us some microphones with your Mac. That can 
sometimes overdrive the system. Be well everyone have a great MLK day weekend.

question about iCloud mail?

[maurice mines]

Good afternoon everyone, I have a strange situation. I am of course 
writing this on my MacBook Pro 13 inch 2020. But because of a additional 
disability, a written expression disorder. I have to dictate everything 
I write into Windows. This presents a problem. If I want to read, and/or 
respond to anything in my iCloud mail and its email address variance, I 
must write the document in word for instance and then copy it into the 
email that I've started on the Mac side of my computer. So the question 
is simply this, if I download iCloud for Windows will that allow me 
access to my email account in something other than Microsoft outlook for 
Windows. Has anyone had experience with this? Or should I continue doing 
this the way that I am doing it presently. Which is quite cumbersome. 
Any thoughts?



Just be aware that I am dictating this to the computer using dictation 
software. Although every effort has been made to weed out errors. There 
is no way to make dictation be 100% correct. So if there's something 
written about that you really didn't understand please reach out to me 
and asked me what you thought I might've meant I will be happy to help 
clear up any misunderstandings that may arise from the dictated text 
thank you very much for reading this.

Re: Apple Silicon vs Intel x86 for Voiceover users on Mac

[maurice mines]

Hi, unfortunately here are my concerns about this entire Apple silicon 
versus the Intel mock debate, and my concerns about it when it is in 
respect to this issue.


The issue that I see is simply this. If you have to the way Apple sees 
it financially is trade-in your Intel Mac spend $600 which I think is 
abruptly the price difference between the two machines then spend 
another $300 on Apple care protection. That if you live in a state or a 
region that has a sales tax based on the total price of the item this 
could get to be very expensive. In fact for many of us were blind at 
least in the United States it is prohibitively expensive. In other words 
I think for now they must support both the Intel and the silicon in 2023 
I think that would be a different story but right now in late 2021 they 
have to support both otherwise some people may just say Dell's elegant 
switch to Windows in fact that's what I'm using to dictate this message 
to simply because there is nothing comparable in terms of dictation on 
the Apple side. In fact people hate me because I can't spell because I 
have a written expression disorder so I have to use Dragon in Windows to 
at least have a shot of being understood. I hope this helps, and is not 
to unduly long.

BY THE WAY, how do you use your Macs? I think the performance difference for 
you is not much because it is not a high workload that shows the difference.

One of the things I noticed between two Macs one of 2016 and another from 2020 
is in dealing with larger numbers sheets. I find it more responsive and 
VoiceOver stays busy for shorter periods of time.

A thing I remembered and think it is useful to keep in  mind.

Re: Two questions.

[Maurice Mines]

The question is concerning the customer email address meeting hiding my real 
Apple ID email address. How do I share that email address? Rather than sharing 
my real Apple ID email address. I hope this clears things up. Just be aware 
that I am dictating this to my phone and I am having allergy issues so 
hopefully Siri doesn’t screw up too much.

How to move data from a notetaker that uses slowly season to function to my MacBook Pro and how to secure this data because it is sensitive.

[Maurice Mines]

Good morning everyone, I am as my subject line states needing to move sensitive 
data from a notetaker that is slowly ceasing to function. It will be replaced 
but not with a note taker so I’m wanting to put this data on my MacBook Pro but 
because it is sensitive data is there a good way to password-protected and/or 
otherwise secure this data? I look forward to any responses that anyone may 
have.

Please note that I’m dictating this to my phone. There may in fact be errors in 
the above text. If there’s something that you can’t understand, please reach 
out to me and ask me what my original intent was? Thank you very much for 
reading this.

Re: Any thoughts on the future of MacBook Pros in light of this WWDC?

[maurice mines]

Good afternoon, the only thing about this morning's presentation that very much 
concerns me is that it appears that Mac OS Monterey it's very much going to be 
designed for the M1 chip. This means that if one Hans a Machine based on the 
Intel chip that things might not work as intended in the beginning. In other 
words if it's the match that's clearly going to be designed for the new 
processor. If one is running the owner processor there may be some challenges.

My largest concern however yes how are they going to implement directional 
sound to match up with hearing aids didn't use that directional information. 
Because right now hearing aid accessibility definitely has something to be 
desired. I am curious to see  how while this new feature Will help, or hinder 
those of us who we are, and must use hearing aids?

The other thing is I thought I read somewhere, that's safari may get some 
accessibility improvements. Again Proof must be in the pudding. Another words 
beta testing buy blame people this year ABC critical. And I certainly will a 
very much involved in this endeavor because of being deafblind, and also having 
a written expression disorder," dyslexia of writing”. These are just my 
thoughts.

I hope everyone House OK Great rust of the day.

Maurice mines.

PS I have beta tested either the phone, or my MacBook or at least the last five 
or six years. One thing I will never do after last year's fiasco, it's better 
test new version of watchOS and less Apple pleasures in writing do not remove 
voiceover from any better. Finally whenever I mention that I am a braille user 
I get the constant comment but we don't no very many people who use braille. My 
only thought here is how do they think we read and write? Just some food for 
thought. Considering that an education and outside of education they still 
think that less than 20% of us actually read and/or right, are used braille. 
This is a very sad commentary.

computers have? I know that running Windows as a Guest operating System would 
not be possible. This beginning two not be a issue. The reason why is Windows

Re: Instructions for Running Windows on M1 Machines

[maurice mines]

hello again, I just realized something I should've also disclosed that 
I'm not running in M1 machine but I him running it in the configuration 
that is required if one were to be running the sun and in M1 machine 
that is simply that you must be running it in a virtual machine 
configuration. No more boot camp. I hope this further disclaimer 
clarifies things.



Please be aware that my last message is disclaimers still apply to this 
message as well.

Re: Instructions for Running Windows on M1 Machines

[maurice mines]

good afternoon everyone I just wanted to let everyone know is far is I 
know you can not run parallels with any nonvisual access technique. 
Meaning Jaws orNvda. Unfortunately the creators of parallels I don't 
think knows and or is concerning themselves with access for the blind. 
VMware on the other hand does work quite well with Jaws,Nvda I have had 
no problems when running a virtual machine with either of these two 
Windows-based screen readers. Just FYI I am dictating this message to 
the computer by using Dragon for Windows. This program unlike a screen 
reader is an absolute resource hog! But seems to be holding up very 
well. Just for clarity I don't work for VMware. And have no financial or 
other interest. Just wanting to pass along advice. Just so that you are 
aware if you are using it for purely personal means meaning you're not 
doing Windows on a Mac for a professional reason meaning a job, you can 
run VMware for free writing you obtain a noncommercial use license. 
There are instructions and all of the details on their website.



Of course be aware with this solution you will have to add this program 
to your security and privacy preferences particularly in the 
accessibility, Paul discusses, and with the appropriate extension. The 
installer will prompt you to make these settings.



I hope this helps someone out? Otherwise be well everyone and to all the 
mothers out there hopefully your mother today is going along smoothly.



Please be aware that the advice, and one physician and or statements 
written above, are mine. They don't reflect the views of the national 
Federation of the blind, or the national Federation of the blind deaf 
blind division. Also be aware as I mentioned above I am dictating the 
contents of this email to the computer by means of dictation software. 
So there may in fact be some unintended errors in the text written 
above. If there's something you didn't understand, please reach out to 
me and asked me what my original meaning was. I will be glad to help 
clear up any potential misunderstandings that may arise as a result of 
the above written text.

I have a VMware fusion question, please read below.

[maurice mines]

Hello, here's my question is there any way to delete a huge pile of 
snapshot files. Unfortunately my Windows virtual machine is taking 
almost 400 gig up on my drive. In fact I don't believe my Windows is 
nearly that big. Is there an easy way to do this? And if so can someone 
make some suggestions is to how to do this without destroying the 
virtual machine?



The above text has been dictated to the computer by means of Windows 
dictation software. The reason why this is, is because there is no 
comparable product on the Mac side. So thus I'm using Windows to write 
this email but my question is about Mac OS Big Sur. Please be aware that 
if there are any errors and it leads to you not being able to understand 
what I've written above, please reach out to me and asked me what my in 
tent was? I look forward to working with you to clear up any 
misunderstandings that may result because of the above written text.



Any views, and authorizations and/or statements that I've written above, 
they are mine, they don't reflect the views of the national Federation 
of the blind, or the national Federation of the blind deaf blind 
division. Thank you very much for reading this.

Re: mac os big sur + mbp 16 2020: feel totally ripped off by the touch bar

[Maurice Mines]

Unfortunately the Apple rep did not give you correct information but what’s new 
from a sales person yes you can run when dusters the carryall do you have to 
run it in a virtual machine however two of the manufactures of virtual machine 
software are offering better products for bras to at home users so long as 
they’re not using it for a job. What you do is you download VMware and I can’t 
remember the other company that does any virtual machine install windows 
install a window screen reader and everything new lock and windows and you are 
done that’s what I do. And I will chrome I have a 2020 MacBook Pro 13 inch what 
I was running the windows in virtually because when I’m not using my cell phone 
as I’m doing right now or dictation I must use windows because that’s the only 
operating system the dragon supports at this time. So I have a lot of window 
stuff. But I need some ass. And I have no extreme problems to report. I hope 
this helps.

Disclaimer number one there text written above of course as I’ve been 
discussing has been dictated to the phone via dictation software. There may be 
errors in the above text if there are at least you not being able to understand 
something please reach out to me and asked me what my original intent was. I 
hope to assist you in clearing up any misunderstandings you may have based on 
that above text.

Please also note that the above comments and door positions etc. online mine. 
They do not reflect the views of the national Federation of the blind, or in 
the national Federation of the blind Deafblind division. Thank you very much 
for reading rest.

PS the virtual machine software as I mentioned above is being offered with no 
charge by two of the companies. VMware and the other company that I can’t 
remember the name of at the present time. And it varies with being where my 
I’ve had no real problems with either Josh or NVDA. Also please be aware that 
the jobs that you run must be paid to your license and yes you can authorize it 
and the really really copy of John’s on there with the activation key 
exceptional no issues. Also be aware that you will have to licensure your copy 
of windows. I’m so long as windows exists on that machine even virtually you 
shouldn’t have any problems. I hope that this long winded response to your 
message just helpful to you and anyone else who wants some sales meeting to do 
this.

a question regarding one password?

[maurice mines]

Hello, is the one password servers usable when one uses voiceover? I 
read a email from CNN this morning that is a daily suggestion of things 
to help improve one's life. Granted it is advertising, but several other 
news outlets and/or disability related outlets have mentioned the 
service recently. John just wondering is this even remotely usable by 
someone using OS X? Any thoughts?



Please note that the above text has been dictated to the computer by 
means of Windows transcription software. The only reason why this is 
being written in Windows this because the company that makes the 
software no longer makes a Mac version. If there's something that you 
can't make sense of written above, please reach out to me and asked me 
what my original intent was? I really do look forward to helping clear 
of any misunderstandings that might arise from the text above.

What to do about a hot Mac when it is sleeping? Please read below

[Maurice Mines]

Hello everyone, here’s the issue that I am experiencing, there are several 
issues. One whenever I put my MacBook Pro 2020, the Intel version. To sleep if 
Bluetooth is still on the computer gets hot overtime and the battery drain if 
it’s not plugged in it’s quite high for some unknown reason.

Issue number two is regarding the audio on the computer. One for some odd 
reason the computer will not correctly identify a headphone plug-in to the 3.5 
headphone jack. The other issue comes when I changed hearing aids to Bluetooth 
hearing aids for some reason voiceover becomes occasionally quite choppy and I 
wind up at times with pieces of words even syllables of words but no really 
words that aren’t anywhere close to being pieces like I said this happens 
occasionally. Sometimes exactly 5 minutes apart.

The other variant of this, is if I have more than one program open and/or more 
than one window open. Then the speech becomes particularly choppy. New 
paragraph finally I tried an experiment on a zoom call if I turn voiceover kids 
oh then I get clear on interrupted audio from the sound card but this is only 
win voiceover it’s not running.

Does anyone have any good ideas as to what could really be causing all of these 
issues. For the record, I am running Mack OS 11.2.3. I hope this helps question 
New paragraph disclaimer time. Please be aware that I am dictating this to my 
phone. So some of it may not have turned out the way that it should have turned 
out because of Siri this also means that there may be potentially inappropriate 
words in here. Should this happen please reach out to me and let me know if 
something really is off but the errors are not intended.

Disclaimer number two please be aware that my comments, statements, or 
positions if any that I’ve taken, and or pronouncement that I have made if any, 
that aren’t involved in the text above. Certainly do not reflect the views 
positions policies and or the views of any board chapter or individual within 
the national Federation of the blind nor does this mean anything as to the 
board of the national Federation of the blind up line division which I do serve 
on. The views aren’t strictly mine. I am the only one responsible for them I am 
the only one that I have written them here. Thank you all very much for reading 
this. I look forward to reading your suggestions and or comments

issues but my MacBook Pro 2020 Intel addition, and power management?

[maurice mines]

Hello, everyone if you're in the United States happy Martin Luther King 
Jr. day.



I have an interesting situation here. I have a MacBook Pro 2020 Intel 
addition that simply refuses to go to's if I put it to sleep the battery 
discharges rapidly. Computer gets warm. My big question is since the 
shipping boxes now arrived should I go without the use of this machine 
for up to two weeks, because of the pandemic and shipping and other 
transportation delays or is this purely a software issue that if anyone 
knows what software might potentially cause this issue certainly 
enlighten me on the subject. I am running Kaspersky Internet security. 
Could this potentially overburdened the processor. I vaguely remember 
that there were issues discussed on this list in the past about the 
MacBook Air not completely going to sleep. This looks like it but 
remember this is that this is a 13 inch MacBook Pro. Are they similar?



If none of this is true my other concern is this, do I have a situation 
where Big Sur at least in my case got the code written for the M1 
processor when this is an Intel processor in other words what I'm 
getting at is is it being pushed too hard?



Final question I guess bottom line does someone think that this issue 
can be fixed say in the next two weeks. Because I'm in the middle of 
dealing with employment people who are helping me to find future 
employment. I'm also deaf blind. Meaning I use this computer heavily for 
communication with email list such as this one in addition I have an 
additional disability that's called a written expression disorder. 
Basically this means dyslexia of writing. So as you may guess I'm 
dictating this message to the computer. Being without the computer for 
two weeks certainly put an extreme damper on the things that I need to 
be doing. So I want to explore every option before putting this machine 
in the box and shipping it back to Apple. This is because I've been 
taught that all Apple stores at this point are shuttered because of the 
ubiquitous word here, praise, the pandemic. That's why it has come to this.



All I'm told is to just backup my data to ship it to them should this 
become necessary. It is my intention to wipe this machine completely. 
Having survived computer security classes I already know that common 
sense even should say wipe the drive send it to them with no personal 
data on the machine yes I do have backup hardware and software. So the 
data should be fine. This includes my virtual copy of Windows and its 
accompanying software. Since it is a virtual machine it's backup is of 
course stored in an encrypted backup disk. Any good suggestions, would 
be greatly appreciated. Because of everything that's going on this week 
with me. I'm not shipping this until Thursday if it becomes necessary.



Please note as I've stated that the text of this message has been 
dictated to the computer. That means there may be errors in the text 
above. If there's something that you don't understand, and or need 
clarification on? Please reach out to me to ask me what my original 
intent was? I look forward to if it becomes necessary helping to clear 
up any misunderstandings that may arise from the text above.



Note number two please note that my comments above are of a personal 
nature meaning it is me my views, positions in our statements do not 
reflect those of the national Federation of the blind, or the national 
Federation of the blind deaf blind division.

battery issues with my MacBook Pro 2020?

[maurice mines]

Good morning everyone, here's my situation unfortunately for some reason 
whenever my MacBook Pro is on battery the machine apparently appears to 
not go to's and stays powered on thus draining the battery rapidly. My 
machine when I first got it, up until about a week ago was able to sleep 
all night and only lose about maybe 2 to 3% of the total battery 
capacity. But for some reason this last week or so whenever I shut the 
lid on my machine and called it a night, the machine remains quite warm 
in the battery drains at a high rate. I called Apple twice about this 
and been transferred to the disability support area. How can I demand 
that they leave me with the normal support since the issue has nothing 
to do with voiceover? Any ideas? And what do people think could be 
causing the problem?



Please note that the above statements, and or issued be discussed is me 
discussing this personally. My comments above nothing to do with the 
national Federation of the blind, or the national Federation of the 
blind deaf blind division. Note number two please be aware that the text 
of this email has been dictated to the computer by means of dictation 
software, in Windows because the dictation software does not exist on 
the Mac. The company withdrew their Mac product two years ago. If 
there's something written about that you truly do not understand, please 
reach out to me and asked me what my original intent was? I look forward 
to helping clear up any misunderstandings that may arise from the above 
text.

Re: I'm reading very long documents on my Mac?

[Maurice Mines]

I DES you are simply this, how do I read it in a document from beginning to 
end. In this case it is a  magazine. So it is definitely longform reading and 
what I'm looking for is the exact voiceover keystroke that will allow me to do 
this? I'm happy to know you use textedit if it were to use it. Thank goodness 
texted it reads word d documents. Because that's 99.9% of the reading but gets 
downloaded that our download it. Another words the bottom line here years what 
voiceover I keystroke well allow me to read continuously from the beginning of 
the document to the end of the document. That's the main the reason for the 
questions.

Please note I set my comments above our mind, they do not reflect the views of 
the national Federation of the blind, or the national for the blind deaf blind 
division. Note number two do you wear that I am dictating this to the computer, 
bicep apples built and software. If there's something that I'm written that you 
don't understand, please reach out to me and asked what my original intent 
wires. I will do everything I can to help clear up any misunderstandings that 
may occur due to the he talks written above. Thank you for reading this.

I'm reading very long documents on my Mac?

[maurice Mines]

Hello, I find myself having to read a very lengthy document on my Mac, I've 
heard of several potential ways of doing this but none of them are working. So 
I'm looking for suggestions? I am using a 2020 MacBook Pro running Big Sur 
11.1. Add anyone found anything to be affective? My wordprocessing 
possibilities in terms of applications to read this document are Microsoft word 
but the Mac, or tax edit. Along time ago I had pages but I don't anymore. If 
this is the appropriate application to use to do this, where do I download it 
from? And has it been updated to run on the current operating system?

Two important notes, one my comments and questions above I am asking as a 
person. Not a representative of of the national Federation of the blind deaf 
blind division. I do however sit on the board and 85% of the emails that I sent 
from my computer are related to that, I am very much a volunteer and that's 
endeavor. Two the above text hats made it to the computer by means of apples I 
built in dictation software. So if there are errors above, they may be the 
result of the dictation process, Or action software. If there's something that 
you truly do not understand please reach out to me and asked me what my

VMware and no audio while using windows 10 as the guest operating system. Any suggestions on how I can get audio?

[maurice Mines]

Good afternoon my subject line put in much states my problem. The only access 
that I have to my virtual machine it is an older brilliant 40 Braille display. 
When I woke and the notification area the message appears no audio output 
device installed. Just for the record I am running vmware fusion Version 12 
which of course is running. Mac OS Big Sur. This is running on a 2020 MacBook 
Pro 13 inch. If I can't come up with a good solution to this problem, i'll have 
to pay VMware $30 for tech-support. From what I've been able to read it doing 
some research it appears to be a known issue but the solution does not appear 
to be rattle at hand. Does anyone have any suggestions? I am pretty much open 
to anything. Hopefully someone else on the list has had this situation and 
hopefully has found a solution for it?

Sincerely Maurice Mines.

I am having issues with VMware fusion 12 and the lack of sound.

[maurice mines]

Good morning, at least it is here on the West Coast of the United 
States. My subject line unfortunately says it all. I have tried to make 
a virtual machine for my Boot Camp partition, and from an actual Windows 
installation ISO file. I can complete the creation of the virtual 
machine okay, however, after the machine is created I get absolutely no 
sound. Is this a known issue? Has anyone successfully figured out how to 
solve it? I am wanting to virtualize my windows. This I think would make 
things easier in terms of system administration.



Just for the record, I am running Mac OS Big Sur. Which is the reason 
why I have to use VMware fusion version 12. Any thoughts from anyone?

Re: major issue with Big Sur install

[maurice Mines]

Hi, I have some questions, one how did you create the USB install? There are 
several machines here that need the upgrade. Two I have not found the issues 
that people are talking about on my machine. I'm wondering if it really comes 
down to how current in the hardware? This is a 2020 MacBook Pro. So I'm 
wondering if that really is the defining issue with installing, And or 
upgrading to Mac OS Big Sur.

Sincerely Maurice Mines.

Re: Question for Focus Blue users

[maurice mines]

good morning, it really depends on how big the file is. From what I 
remember the documentation saying, I do have a focus fifth generation 
blue display. You can edit, do whatever you want to with the file so 
long is this "30 2K or less" if the file exceeds 30 2K it becomes 
read-only. I think the reason why this is is they think that if it's 
beyond that size it must be something literary. The other thing that you 
may want to check is what version of the firmware are you running? I 
think the current firmware version is 55. But I'm sure someone on list 
will chime in if I've gotten that wrong. All the joys of not enough coffee.



Please note the above text has been dictated to the computer by means of 
dictation software. That means that some things might not have turned

that you don't understand, please ask me what my original intent was? I 
look forward to clearing up any misunderstandings that may arise as a 
result of the above text. Thank you very much for reading this?



Please further note that any positions and or comments I've made above

Re: Should I upgrade to Catalina or Big Sur?

[maurice Mines]

I would say the question was how old is the hardware? If you're hardware it's 
older than five years don't upgrade. If it is new say 2018 to present, send 
certainly upgrade upgrade in the operating system it's a good idea at all times 
unless there's some extreme reason why you should not remember the bad guys out 
there are looking for machines with all their operating systems a.k.a. machines 
point security holes. In other words the bad guys look for is running old 
operating system so that they can fine with compromise them. Machines running 
new operating system's, Meaning current operating systems are much harder to be 
compromised by the bad guys. In other words long story short I always upgrade. 
For that very specific reason. Ausel accessibility chance to follow the current 
operating system.

An Apple Watch problem.

[maurice Mines]

Hello, here's my problem all of a sudden, whenever I attempt to make a call on 
my Apple Watch five series cellular the bottom level it's virtually nonexistent 
on the call. In addition Siri also turns off cut the two problems be related? 
How do I fix these two issues? Because if I use the watch to make a call, mikal 
means nothing if I can't hear the other end of the call. Any thoughts?

Sincerely hey very tired and somewhat frustrated Maurice Mines.

More on my Win Clone problem. Please read below?

[Maurice Mines]

I found the company that makes the software. But it appears that I'm unable to 
write them an email because they require a capsha yes they do have it for 
someone who is just normally blind, or two in my neck of the woods as"hearing 
blind" and I am actually deaf blind meaning that the verification is in 
accessible for me. Any thoughts or should I call somebody that knows the law 
very well. Now I'm just extremely took off because all I need is my stupid 
license key and I'm not infinitely wealthy they just re-purchase the software.

Is there a quick way to mute VoiceOver speech?

[Maurice Mines]

Hello, I'm trying to figure out how to mute to speech while allowing the 
braille display to function normally. The problem is especially important when 
sitting through a zoom meeting where are you use a.k.a. Reed screen cast which 
is a substance that of Zoom. The captions up here on a webpage one can read 
them at once own pace. This is perfect for braille display juice. Burger 
sometime downplaying the speech from the computer, and a speech from the 
speaker, cancel each other out most of the time. If I could just read the 
words, and listen to the speaker things that on catches meaning what I think I 
can hear and what I can read won't be interrupted by the speech. The second 
reason is when doing this meaning listening to presume feed and using screen 
cast there is this side effect that is rather unpleasant. As people sending 
messages to each other which polls my cursor even though I'm in a separate 
webpage away from that separate webpage to show me the balloon box that appears 
in zoom. And 99.5% of the time the messages read a bit something like that"Sam 
to everyone isn't that cool looking" unfortunately I'm trying to focus on what 
the speaker is saying not what people who are cited realize he's wearing. But I 
hope the Point it's made here? Because if I have to go to through the menus to 
get to mute speech that's pretty time-consuming when in the middle of a zoom 
meeting. Any thoughts, and he said just send us?

Sincerely Maurice Mines.

PS it's a 2020 MacBook Pro 13 inch.

Re: pages on a Mac

[Maurice Mines]

Hello, thank Pages it's available anymore. I agree with the last person who 
posted on the subject, text edit is your friend. If you need a sophisticated 
work processing Application, then I might suggest Office 365 and Microsoft word 
for the Mac. I hope this helps?

Re: Looking for suggestions on appropriate software for recording a video for YouTube?

[maurice mines]

I'd like to add something to my original post, I'm actually not going to 
be directly uploading this to zoom. I have to record it and send it to 
the person whose channel this video is going to go on. I am going to use 
P-cloud to store my pile in my area on the site send the person who is 
going to upload it to her YouTube channel so that there's no need to 
worry about an email file size limit. So is the proper way of doing this 
still zoom? Or is it really indeed QuickTime? I hope this clarification 
helps?



Please note the above text has been dictated to the computer by means of 
dictation software. If there's something written about that you do not 
understand, please ask me what my original intent was. I will make every 
effort to clear up any misunderstandings that may arise as a result of 
the above text.

I don’t know if there is a file size limit, though your internet speed will 
determine the upload. As for recording video, I use Zoom. You just need the 
free account and when you log in to your personal meeting, you set the record 
option and you’re good to go.  . By default it saved in the downloads folder in 
iCloud Drive, but you can change where it goes. You can then upload the video 
to Youtube.

Re: Fusion 12 Released

[maurice mines]

hello, you Nina I am wondering if you happen to have a list of key 
commands for orca? I'm sorry to put this on the list but I don't have 
Nina's direct email address please forgive me for posting something a 
bit off topic.



To the persons who actually works for VMware, so far I like version 12 
player I'm not a developer, I am a out of school somewhat student 
because of the pandemic I'm not in class. You can't do sign language 
directly and do social distancing. They don't work together at all. All 
I can say about version 12 is so far so good.



Please note that the above has been dictated to the computer by means of 
dictation software. If there's something about that you don't 
understand, please ask me what my original intent was? I will do 
everything I can to clear up any misunderstanding that may arise from 
the about text. Thank you very much for reading this.



Note number two I am aware that this is a Mac list I'm running Windows 
10 in a boot camp configuration the main reason why I am doing this in 
Windows is because that's where the dictation software is the company 
that produces the dictation software withdrew from the Apple market some 
time ago. So that's my only method of dictating to the computer and 
having it come out somewhat coherently is to use Windows. I hope this 
explains things?



To the list moderators please please please! Excuse this somewhat 
off-topic post. It was not intended to be this way but I didn't have the 
direct email address of the person I'm am predominantly addressing my 
comments to. If either Mart has a problem please feel free to write me 
off this and I can explain more if you wish.



Sincerely Maurice Mines.

Best,

Really happy to see you on this list following up with the accessibility

In the event that the news hasn’t reached you yet, perhaps via the Fusion
update process, VMware Fusion 12 is released (and Workstation 16). If you
buy an upgrade to either for the princely sum of $99, you can access both

needs are less pro.

Go to your local online VMware store to purchase yours today. If you check

a question about a Mac application and whether it is wise to finish the purchase of this application?

[maurice mines]

Good afternoon everyone, I'm writing to ask about transmit for the Mac, 
I am attempting to use this application to send files to a X server of 
course the Lenox server uses secure FTP. The particular flavor of planet 
X is Ubuntu long-term support 19.0.4, the big issue here is I am having 
somewhat of a problem, and getting transmit to only send but I wish to 
send. The application seems to want to sink my entire computer with the 
server. This is not a good thing to do. Since my storage is roughly 85 
gig. And I have a 2020 MacBook Pro. Which means I have a lot more data 
than my server can hold. And of course since some of that data is 
protected by international copyright etc. meaning reading materials that 
can only be viewed read etc. by me. Is this purchase of transmit a wise 
idea or is it better to just use what passes for the shell on the Mac. 
Any thoughts?



Please note that the above text has been dictated to the computer by 
means of dictation software. Some of it may not have turned out the way 
it was intended. If there's something that you really didn't understand, 
I will make every effort to clear up any misunderstandings that may 
arise based on the text above? I will work very hard to clear up any 
misunderstandings as I stated. Thank you very much for reading this.



Note number two, the reason why this is being written in Windows is 
because the dictation software is a Windows piece of software. The 
company that makes this software has withdrawn their Mac product so 
that's I'm forced to use Windows in order to write this. This Windows is 
of course running in a boot camp configuration. Again thank you very 
much for reading this.

Hello Everyone,

I updated the software on my Apple TV 4th Gen, earlier this week.

Since doing so, I cannot reliably close apps via the Apple TV remote.

1.
After updating to the latest version of Apple TV OS, with VoiceOver enabled,
Go to Settings > Accessibility.

2.
Set navigation mode to Follow Focus instead of Direct Touch.  (For some
reason I have never been able to get the hang of Direct Touch, so, I do not
use it.)

3.
Now, press the Home button to go back to the home screen.

4.
Open a couple of apps and return to the Home screen.

5.
Double-press the Home button to bring up the App Switcher.

6.
Swipe to the left or right to land on an active app.

7.
Turn the Rotor to Actions.

8.
Swipe up to hear VoiceOver say, "Close App."

Okay, it at number 8 where I run into problems.  I can set the Rotor to
Actions but, try as I may, single-finger (or, for that matter double-finger)
swiping up or down causes nothing to happen.

Clearly I am doing something wrong but cannot discover my error.

For the record, when the navigation method is set to Direct Touch, closing
an app is not a problem.

All replies greatly appreciated.

Mark

Re: Selecting Multible files on mac

[Maurice Mines]

When attempting to choose items to copy or instance, please do the following 
hold down the shift key then use the up, Down arrow cheese to select the items 
you wish to move, or copy. I hope this helps?
Another command that might be helpful to copy hold the command key down and 
then press the letter c along with the command key. In order to past the item 
in the new  location, hold the shift key down and press the v key and the items 
that you selected earlier, well show up in the new location.

Re: Question about computers where do I search through? Is that through Internet explorer or FB? Thanks Becky

[maurice mines]

good afternoon, just what are you trying to search for? Give your 
searching for information about jars I would certainly finally advise 
going to the company's website. And/or to your favorite search engine. 
If on the other hand you're talking about the imminent ceasing of 
support for Internet explorer. I would strongly suggest that you look at 
learning edge or run the Windows side, or chrome.



If none of this is what you're after could you consider clarifying what 
you're asking for?

Please note that the above text has been dictated to the computer by 
means of dictation software. Something didn't quite turn out the way

Re: Vm fusion question?

[maurice mines]

good morning, the best thing I can suggest is that you yes just like the 
last poster said do some tabbing around depending on the age of your 
machine you can also use the trackpad to try to maximize the window but 
maximizing changes with whichever virtual application you are running if 
you're running Windows it is probably best to use a single window or 
full-screen mode if you have a window screen reader configured and ready 
to go.



Passions if you are running Windows, and you're using Jaws for Windows 
you should be aware that authorizations can get a little funny in a VM 
my strong and for the most emphatic suggestion here is what you get that 
program running in your VM and authorized make sure you make a copy of 
the virtual machine because you just used one of your license keys they 
get real snippy if you use them too much and you cannot tell Vspara tech 
support that you're running a virtual machine. They will not support it! 
And that they will hang up on you almost immediately. Yes I been 
practically screamed out by their staff with "we don't do Mac anything 
here take that stinky Mac and go call Apple slam" that's pretty much the 
way Nicole goes that you mention the virtual machine. So I'm just 
warning you on with everyone else is aware do not mention the virtual 
machine to that company.



Now a word about Linux operating systems. The only operating system that 
I've seen meaning that is a Linux distribution that seems to work well 
in terms of making certain the window is maximized is now gnome which of 
course is graphical the next. The version I am running happens to be 
Ubentu linux and yes if you would stall orca into this distribution it 
sounds like a robot but I guess what you get used to it you can actually 
use it. I have debated whether Brltty can also run in a virtual machine. 
I'd be curious to know if this is possible.



I hope some of the comments and suggestions might be of some help to 
someone.



Please note the above text has been dictated to the computer by means of 
dictation software. There may be some text that you may not be able to 
understand if it is critical to your understanding of what I've written 
above please write me and asked me what my original intent was, I will 
do everything I can to clear up any potential misunderstandings based on 
what I've written above. Thank you very much for reading this

good evening, here's all the information regarding the public beta users

does not necessarily replace giving feedback back to Apple via the B 
backup or more importantly to beta.apple.com. Also remember that it's 
probably not a good idea to discuss any of this on this list meeting and 
posting the information on the list here, that's where any discussion of 
data related things belongs. I'm sure the Edmonds would appreciate not 
having things that are potentially breaking the nondisclosure agreement 
not on the list here so all of that being said, here it is.

Re: Voiceover beta testers discussion group

[maurice mines]

good afternoon, the list you are looking for is the public beta users 
list. On that list we discussed in general issues we encounter while 
testing for accessibility. Of course voiceover is at the heart of that 
testing. Please note however that if you got something that really is 
serious go to beta.apple.com and report it there it has been my 
experience that the beta feedback form that is included with each kind 
of beta software, is not very accessible.

Please note that the above text has been dictated to the computer by 
means of dictation software. There in fact may be some errors in the

Re: Improving Voice Over in Zoom meetings

[Maurice Mines]

What I'd like to see as a significantly better way to Focus voiceover on Wayne 
from the List of participants that are leaving, and arriving enter the meeting. 
The other thing is I'd love to see a way to get captioning working so that it 
makes sense. This would help the deaf blind tremendously. Hope my two cents was 
help

A very interesting problem with my new MacBook Pro's drive access when I'm in boot camp?

[maurice mines]

Hello everyone, the story goes somewhat like this, I moved my old system to the 
new system. On the old system I was able to read my OS X drive without a 
problem. When using paragons a PFS or Windows. After I moved that entire Time 
Machine backup to the new computer I simply cannot access the drive in order to 
read off a bit. In fact the mistake it for the paragon product, “a PFS  or 
Windows” I get “not supported” it says the drive is encrypted. I get the same 
error message, when using Mac drive for Windows.

But when I look on my system it says FileVault is not turned on. I deleted all 
my Time Machine snapshots. I’ve even removed VMware fusion. The only strange 
third-party thing that may or may not be involved here is paragons NTFS for 
Mac. Could this be the source of all my trouble? No matter how I slice this the 
issue is still quite the same when on the Boot Camp side of the machine, I have 
no way of copying anything from the backside while in Windows. Any thoughts on 
the best way to approach this?

Sincerely Maurice Mines.

Re: whitch Macbook pro

[maurice mines]

Hello, I’m using a MacBook Pro 2020 I been using it for not quite a week now 
yes the Touch Bar takes it some getting used to. But but the main reason why it 
is a  MacBook Pro is because of my additional disability I have a written 
expression disorder that if I typed this email you probably would not be able 
to read it. Think of it as dyslexia of writing. So I use dictation software. 
Like I said the Touch Bar is a bit weird but I’m slowly learning to live with 
it. Very best wall.

Sincerely Maurice Mines.

A audio file conversion conundrum.

[maurice mines]

Good afternoon, here’s the situation I have a radio that has a built-in the 
internal recorder. The recorder produces wave files. But when I go into Amadeus 
Pro to convert them into say  Flack, or Ogg  format, the file shrinks to either 
just up UK or at the very largest largest  bore, maybe 500 bytes. In trying to 
figure out why this file is shrinking when I converted so drastically. The file 
sizes can often be anywhere from 49 to maybe 120 the only other thing that I’ve 
noticed about these files, Amadeus Pro, tells me that the file is 16-bit, and 
16 Hz. Does anyone have any suggestions is to how I can save these and one of 
the two above mentioned formats, without losing most of the file so that I get 
a buyout that can’t be played on anything let alone my Mac.

Sincerely Maurice Mines.

Re: Encryption which works on both IOS and Mac OS

[maurice mines]

 I would like to second but the last person said if you have a passcode on your 
phone or other device, you should be okay you should be protected even better 
if you have Face ID turned on and working properly. You can of course subscribe 
to an off-site encryption service, which puts your files in an encrypted cloud 
like storage area. I currently use a provider named  P-cloud  please note, the 
drive storage service is felt just like pronounced but to leave off the -.  The 
only reason why I written it that way is because of the software that I’m using 
to dictate this to the computer wants to use hard rules about what it believes 
things should be written like. They do offer a trial for two weeks. During that 
trial you can certainly use the encryption. It is very accessible but using 
VoiceOver on the computer and on your phone. I hope this helps? Be well, and 
stay safe

Re: A big Apple Watch problem, is it possible to fix this or should I just bite the bullet and retire the watch.

[maurice mines]

 Unfortunately, the cost is roughly 230 US to get this fixed. So the cost is 
quite high. Since it is out of warranty. Unfortunately it’s 200 to justify a 
new series 3. So it’s a tossup. That’s where the situation is now.

Re: A big Apple Watch problem, is it possible to fix this or should I just bite the bullet and retire the watch.

[maurice mines]

This watch was taken out of service six months ago. Under the heading of I know 
what’s best for you disabled person the person who was uncaring the watch did 
not follow my instructions. Let’s just chalk it up to ignorance about 
capabilities of the blind I know that’s probably off-topic here but that’s 
basically what happened somebody thought they knew better than me what was 
appropriate. Hence the problem so it’s absolutely not about should I have just 
unimpaired it from the phone. The watch was erased and then rebuilt but the 
salesperson who was helping me set up the new watch didn’t bother to listen to 
my instructions. That’s the bottom line.

Know the watch is not St. but my current phone. It was synced with the old 
phone. Does this make a difference?

A big Apple Watch problem, is it possible to fix this or should I just bite the bullet and retire the watch.

[maurice mines]

Hello  everyone on the list, here’s the situation I have an Apple Watch series 
3 that I kept after I upgraded to a series of five. Because of everything it’s 
going on my sisters watch is now dying. So I figured I would just erase my 
watch and give it to my sister. Apparently not so fast. Number one the Series 
III has been sitting in a drawer for six months so I unfortunately could not 
remember the passcode. Then while trying to get this fixed, they watch tells me 
that too many attempts please reset and repair. Unfortunately VoiceOver was 
running so when this potential fix froze there apparently is an alternative 
method to accomplish this. The way was explained to me one holds the crown 
down, and the button that’s just underneath the crown on the right side forcing 
the watch to essentially reboot. Then it is apparently able to hold that same 
bottom button down and Shut down then Meares button apparently should appear. 
After spending an hour on the phone with Apple today, and having my cited knees 
help me, it was determined that the watch was defective. Because the screen is 
frozen, and VoiceOver can’t be turned off, sold us the watch cannot be reset. 
That has to be sent back to Apple. But because the watch is out of warranty 
it’s gonna cost a bundle to fix this. Any suggestions? Or is this really the 
end of the road for this device.

Sincerely Maurice Mines.

Fwd: world time clock

[maurice mines]

Just for everyone in the group’s information, I tried sending this out a couple 
minutes ago with the wrong email address, so here are my comments as a 
forwarded message. I hope this helps?

A question for the group in mail, if there any way to set a default descendent 
from email address so that the issue that prompted me to write this forwarded 
message in the first place doesn’t occur again.

A completely separate second issue this machine is nearing the end of its 
useful life, it has a potentially swelling battery. So if it advisable to do 
the following? Shut the machine down at the end of the major part of the day 
that requires me to use the machine. Leave seven machine unplugged overnight. 
Should I be doing anything else?

I will certainly keep Time Machine backups, and of course make use of when 
cloned to backup my Boot Camp partition. I’m told it could be 8 to 10 weeks 
before the new machine arrives. Things are moving much slower than they were in 
the past because of the obvious current situation.

Sincerely Maurice Mines.

Re: How Do You Mute the Chat In A Zoom Meeting

[maurice mines]

Brian Mann and other listers, this idea works great writing your hearing is 
normal and you’re not a braille reader. A.k.a. you’re not deaf blind. But if 
that’s done, you get no text messages and note captioning. I just want to mute 
the VoiceOver speech but leave VoiceOver running because of needing to read 
things in braille.

Re: How Do You Mute the Chat In A Zoom Meeting

[maurice mines]

 Hello, Amanda five I believe turns off VoiceOver and so far as I can tell at 
this point that seems to be the only good solution for this. But that won’t 
work for anyone what the significant hearing loss such as myself because then 
it cuts off any of the text messaging and or captioning text. So turning out 
VoiceOver probably isn’t a good option. I’m doing some looking myself to see if 
this is possible to do without cutting me off from the information. Because 
some of the speakers in meetings decide that it’s better to try to talk away 
from the phone imports it and then others “beneath the microphone and the phone 
to the point that the voice becomes badly distorted. This makes Zoom meetings 
so special. This is definitely one of my most vexing problems. But it does seem 
to look like everyone else is thinking of what I’m thinking it’s the best way 
meaning the way I’ve done it in the past but it comes with that issue that I 
mentioned above.

Sincerely Maurice Mines.

Re: Microsoft word on the Mac.

[maurice mines]

Hello Mr. Carlson, yes that is correct let me explain. When you have office 365 
you have the choice of either using the web version of an application or the 
version of the application that you actually install. Or at least that’s the 
way it was initially. These days I believe it is only the application install. 
The difference they were blind users is huge. If you use the web version of the 
application a screen reader can’t figure out where exact because it’s all based 
on a webpage. If it’s on the computer, then of course the screenreader is based 
on what’s presented to it locally. So to some of my answers yes I use a local 
version of the application but the subscription really is to office 365. I have 
the five device pack. That means that I can use Windows, Mac, a tablet if I 
wish, and even a smart phone if I wish. Because all of those devices are 
natively covered by my subscription. However I believe the tablet and the phone 
are restricted to the web version not the installed version. Now that I think 
about it, the phone does use and version meant for the phone. But I think the 
tablet version is  indeed a webpage. All versions have the account pain. It 
basically shows the fact that you are using one seat of the license. I hope 
this clarification, and explanation helps?

 And closing I’ve been using office three $0.65 late 2015.

Sincerely Maurice Mines.

Re: Microsoft word on the Mac.

[maurice mines]

Hello, I use Microsoft Word for the Mac practically on a daily basis. The ways 
that I’ve made it work for me, is by first going to that ribbon. I stop 
interacting with it then I get to the point where it will show me the text 
that’s currently in the document. I interact with that and I’m able to read the 
document. At least that’s a whole lot better than Microsoft Word to the max 
started out back in 2016. Back then it wasn’t usable for very much other than 
you could create a document but you had to leave it in draft mode. Today’s 
version at least is usable and all of its modes.

When I talk about my experience with Microsoft Word to the math I want to be 
clear that it is the version that is actually on the local machine. Not the web 
version of Microsoft Word which I believe still is virtually inaccessible. And 
when I deal with documents that I  create an word on the Mac and read them in 
the version of the same program and Windows live had very few compatibility 
issues.

For extremely short Word documents, such as the signature file or something of 
that nature. I can even use TextEdit or doubt in terms of reading it. I’m going 
to include my signature file which actually is a Word document just as an 
example. Please note however my signature file is not an endorsement or 
discrediting my position which the file mentions. I did not write the actual 
text of the file. But in order to make it work for me I converted the document 
that was originally in HTML format into a Word document for use as an email 
signature. In addition I use word for the Mac for most of not all of my 
academic work that requires the use of Microsoft Word. And ideas it depending 
on how long the document is for meeting assignments. Yes I think there could be 
many improvements to the Mac product but it is at least functional right now 
and can be used easily.

So here’s the file. Remember this is just for an example. Of a Word document. 
Although I did not write this document, I am responsible for its layout since I 
had to make a few adjustments. Thank you very much in advance for reading this. 
Everyone stay safe and if possible stay where you are. Have other nice day.

Please note, the above text of this email have spent dictated to the computer 
using dictation software. If there are portions of my writing that are not 
understandable and/or have grammatical syntax and/or other errors, those errors 
may be the result of either the software, or the dictation process. If there’s 
something that you truly don’t understand please contact me and I will do my 
very best to clear up any misunderstandings.

Re: OT: anybody on the list using Linux in VMWare or on a separate machine? Pls answer off list

[maurice mines]

Good morning, unfortunately there were many reasons in my world where Windows 
must stay. And unfortunately it cannot be moved and no I don’t have money to 
buy another machine.

First reason vocational rehabilitation does in fact these days in the US 
strongly encourage if not require people to have Windows. That is the path to 
employment. Slowly but surely folk rehab and Social Security are now on the 
same page. One must really be working towards employment. Unemployment beats a 
check.

I would love to take my Windows section on my hard drive and virtualize it. 
Except for this big issue, amateur radio handheld radio software. It does all 
Windows based. Amateur radio manufacturers also note that Windows is what they 
believe 98% of all amateur radio operators in the US run. As well as a 
significant amount of overseas operators. In other words I sell that to say 
this the industry is Windows-based and is likely to be so indefinitely.

Accessibility. Braille displays unless much as changed are really usable in 
Lenox especially if your display is Bluetooth.

Finally the above issues with VMware and the fact that one must take the entire 
boot camp area of the hard drive, and copy those contents to your existing OS X 
partition in order to virtualize that is a big barrier if you have a hard drive 
that is not huge. In other words I only have 256 gig available to me. Perhaps 
in the new Mac that will happen probably before the end of this calendar year. 
I’m hoping to upgrade to a 512 or even 1 TB drive. At that point virtualizing 
Windows will be easier, and then I will see how many trade-offs I must make in 
order to make it work. So here’s hoping that the future for me is brighter when 
it comes to computer hardware.

In closing let me speak to the ability to afford a second machine. Because I am 
now deaf blind and I wasn’t three years ago. I am unfortunately a student 
again. Unfortunately this is not by choice. But by medical necessity. And 
quality of life. In other words this is the way life is going to be for me 
there is no changing it. Yes I can go get a curricular implant but I want to 
wait until that becomes medically necessary. Not a cosmetic surgery. Hope this 
helps. And for those on the list please excuse the length of this post and how 
detailed this post is. But I figured this was the best way to respond and also 
educate. Being deaf blind is certainly not what popular culture might equate me 
to the large figure in history Helen Keller. There was no technology in the 
late 19th and early 20 centuries. Today there is technology that can someone 
equal playing field. Here’s hoping that this improves.

Please note my portion of this email has been dictated to the machine by means 
of dictation software. The software is only been used for the dictation of 
Britain text not typed commands. If there’s something you don’t understand, 
please ask me what my original intent was, I will do my very best to clear up 
any misunderstandings. Thank you for reading this. Note number two I’m 
including my official signature here just because it’s the easiest to go to the 
fine. My views that I’ve expressed in my written portion of this email are mine 
alone they do not reflect the views currently held by the board of the national 
Federation of the blind deaf blind dictation of which I am a member of. I look 
forward to hearing/reading any comments and/or suggestions that persons who 
read this may have. I can answer most questions. And the ones that I can’t 
answer I will go find the answer to.

Hi Unita, interesting take on the mailer situation and/or fix, did you ever get 
my message about which distribution makes the best sense to run on a virtual 
machine on the same computer as I only have one computer. And one note taker.

I’m trying to decide between Ubuntu 19, or the talking arched Lennix 
distribution that I downloaded. The issue with Ubuntu is getting some kind of 
software speech out of it. Since I certainly cannot rely on VoiceOver, or is 
there a way to make this work?

Sincerely Maurice Mines.

Yes I do live in California, but I do have a memory. I don’t think I’ll ever 
forget the person who taught me UNIX/Linux I am trying to decide which 
distribution I’m going to install in the virtual machine on my Mac. It’s either 
going to be  Ubuntu, or talking arch  Lenox.

All the best smile. Your friend Maurice.

Re: Question please regarding the option-t time check

[maurice mines]

Dear Dave, slight correction here. California voters voted to leave at daylight 
savings time and a statewide ballot measure in 2018. The state must apply to 
the federal government to leave daylight savings time and/or standard time and 
pick one time. But the boat, ballot measure at that time stated clearly that 
the state wished to leave daylight savings time. I don’t know about Oregon, and 
I don’t know about Washington state. I can only tell you what we voted on in 
2018. For the record the measure passed by a two to one margin.

Sincerely Maurice Mines.

Re: Question please regarding the option-t time check

[maurice mines]

I have a strange question sometime in amateur, I’d like to change my time to 
universal chlorinated time or Greenwich England to be precise is this possible? 
Since it would line up correctly with universal chlorinated time. Any thoughts?

Re: Bluetooth braille using Catalina the 10 point.15.3. Please read below?

[maurice mines]

 An update on the situation. I spent about an hour on the phone with tech 
support for human wear. And unfortunately the same problem existed even with 
the support professional. This issue has been thoroughly documented. I’ll 
probably write you all an update when I find out what is being done to fix this 
problem. Just me normal consumer think the problem is largely breast in 
Cupertino. This use of a security code generated by my Mac for an adaptive 
technology device is ready to kill us! If you can exempt speakers and things 
that people want for purely entertainment purposes why is it that the blind 
must put in codes and all sorts of specialty things in order to access our 
hardware and use non visual access techniques. And they wonder why we have a 
70% unemployment rate. This is why people won’t hire Russ. Long story short the 
big boys and operating systems need to understand that if they are going to 
help people get employed they need to reduce the barriers to employment. That’s 
not just on the state agencies.

Sincerely  Maurice Mines.

 Unfortunately, it’s still not working. In an email earlier today I described 
all of the steps that I go through. I repeated these steps with sided 
assistance this evening. It starts to connect and and immediately disconnects. 
So it’s obviously a problem that’s bigger than me. I don’t know who was to 
blame more here Apple for human where for not updating better utility. This 
process worked under the first generation of the braille note touch. But under 
the braille note touch plus nothing doing. Even if you can match the code this 
device still will not talk to the other device.

Looks like I’ll be petitioning for a new display. The request rejection and the 
administrative appeals process is so much fun. Let’s hope it doesn’t ring true 
administrative logic. Or I can pick an older display and meant to. Long story 
short I’m giving up on this and tell human where an Apple can someday come to 
terms on this one. Although I don’t know when that day will be I suspect no 
time soon.

Re: Bluetooth braille using Catalina the 10 point.15.3. Please read below?

[maurice mines]

Good afternoon, unfortunately this doesn’t work. Because I go through these 
steps.

One go to the VoiceOver preferences to go into braille displays under braille. 
Three go to add new display. War interact with the list pick railing BIA 32 
311. Five click on it

A message appears that state waiting for the braille no touch plus or brilliant 
PI 3211 to accept the connection please make sure that the code on the display 
matches the code on the computer screen. There is no way that one can find that 
code in time to accept it. Because by the time I find the code many by the time 
the braille note touch plus gets the code the pairing window has already closed.

I get the message that parenting was “unsuccessful” cannot pay her with the 
brilliant BIA 3211. This is the Braille Display embedded in the braille note 
touch plus. I hope this helps?

Sincerely Maurice Mines

 What I’m saying here, is you must enter in that six digit code exactly as it 
appears on the screen on the device within 10 to 15 seconds any longer and it 
corrupts it. There is no facility on the touch to enter that long of a code. 
This device is set up for a four digit code Apple requires a six digit code 
because it views it as a foreign device. Security in all.

Braille Display that is embedded in a braille note touch plots. My Mac defines 
it as a brilliant 32 display. However, when attempting to pair this my Mac 
gives me a six digit code that must be typed into my braille note touch plus 
which the code appears very quickly. I think the real problem here is the fact 
that the code comes from the computer it is not the manufacturer four digit 
code. So does any attempt to use this will not work. Has anyone tried this with 
her Mac? The manufacturer human where indicates that in theory this should 
work. Apple says there’s nothing that can be done about the long code. Who’s 
right here? Or is this display just simply on usable under Bluetooth. For the 
record USB doesn’t work either because again it classifies it as a device 
needing to be charged if it seems that at all.

Has anyone on this list experienced this? Also just for the sake of clarity, I 
posted the same message essentially to the Braille Display users list. Does 
anyone have any good suggestions. Or should I suddenly get into the market for 
a new large Braille Display and see what can be found in which agency should 
pay for the FedEx?

Sincerely Maurice Mines.

Can I extract audio from a YouTube video? Please read below?

[maurice mines]

Hello, I found a YouTube that has audio that I like what I want to do is find a 
way to make an audio file out of that audio. Is there a way to download a 
YouTube video to one’s machine then extract the outer? Can this even be done?

A friend sent me a link to some software that appears to do it however the 
software is command line number one and it appears one needs Python and one of 
the UNIX utility to run. And it’s intent is for new next users. Which I think 
would cause problems with OS X security. Any thoughts?

Sincerely Maurice Mines.

Which way should I configure my MacBook Pro running OS X Catalina and Boot Camp?

[Maurice Mines]

My question is very simple. I now have an encrypted OS X partition if I want to 
boot into my Boot Camp I have to go all the way down to the recovery consul 
would it make sense to Anand encrypt the Mac partition to make it easier to 
boot into the boot camp partition or is the prevailing advised to leave it the 
way it is currently? Any thoughts I’m sending this from my iPhone which is 
where I can check all of my mailboxes long story thanks for any advice in 
advance PS here I am dictating this to my phone so some of it may not come out 
the way it is intended Siri have a bad habit of putting words that shouldn’t be 
there there hopefully are no bad words in this etc. just be forewarned

Email programs that are accessible for the Mac?

[Maurice Mines]

Hello, I’m wondering what the prevailing wisdom out there years on 
what is the best email program when running OS X Mohave? I’m currently 
using mandrake but having problems I did download Thunderbird for the 
Mac but the setup appears to be inaccessible. But do you default Mac 
mail seem to have a nasty problem where the menu that pops open forces 
voiceover focus away from the mailbox. Not to mention I met an in 
situation where I have to look at multiple mailboxes. So Mac mail but at 
least for that type of set up may not be a good idea. Any thoughts, 
and/or suggestions?


Male made wouldn’t be so bad if I could delete duplicate mailboxes so 
as to have only one box that is configured per email account.


There’s the whole issue I am looking for suggestions and will be 
watching the list to see what makes sense to do?

Re: How about some Linux with your Windows 10 Bootcamp?

[Maurice Mines]

So let me see if I’m understanding apparently the power shall somebody 
has, found a way to set it up so that the power shall have the look and 
feel of aBash shell  in a very familiar the next Council? And then if I 
understood what you’re saying goes the same software if that’s what 
I’m understanding this to be is better than the shell that exist under 
OS X  I hope I’m not misunderstanding something here, and/or miss 
reading something here? I’ve gotten us all wrong I’m sure someone on 
the list will be very quick to correct what I’m think I’m reading?


I find the shell under OS 10 to have some issues with access in terms of 
being able to review the screen with a Braille Display. The only other 
thing I can add to this is one of these years apples should potentially 
allow one to put Lennox in a boot camp area and set up Windows only. 
That would be good. I guess one could use sequin, but of course that 
runs on top of Windows and text lots of room to use, and administrative 
overall. I well sitting here thinking about the person who taught me 
about my next a little bit of brief minor history for the list sent many 
on this list probably do not know who I’m talking about but the writer 
of this email knows exactly who I’m talking about there are times when 
I’m doing computer work that I certainly do remember him.


Have a great afternoon everyone. Now off to go figure out how I can find 
a way to send anonymous callers directly to voicemail I don’t even 
want to talk to them. The joys of trying to avoid quote scammers 
telemarketers and other electronic and phone ne’er-do-wells. By the 
way they really are wasting bandwidth I can’t hear most of it the joys

Hi, Simon:

I don't think it's an actual parallel situation. Windows isn't 
switching to a Linux kernel for native Windows desktop and apps. 
Rather, they're adding a more tightly integrated Linux subsystem into 
Windows 10 based on a compile of the native Linux kernel running in 
their own virtual machine.


One of the more interesting items in the announcement is the support 
for docker containers. This is being overshadowed by the Linux 
announcement, but it's potentially far more relevant to more users of 
Windows, and I wonder we don't yet support these natively on OS X. 
Here's an Info World article about docker:

Re: A MacBook Pro keyboard question?

money. That’s my experience with anything from Amazon. Besides I’m

Re: Mueller reportc

[Maurice Mines]

Hi, you would be better to go to a recognized journalistic organization. 
What I mean by that is “CNN, NBC, CBS, box” all of those sites have 
a PDF version of the report available for download. Either as a 
searchable version, or the full version. Unfortunately it is in PDF 
form. Last night I used preview to open the report. Then I selected all 
of the text, then I copied it to word for instance, and later on this 
morning I will test the file by bringing up in a blindness notetaker for 
reading in braille. If everything works out well then I may decide to 
make a Brf  file out of the word file for easier reading. Hope this 
helps?

Re: Dropbox Changes

[Maurice Mines]

 Hello, a point of clarification here. The restriction on devices is 
for quote free accounts only. Those of us who have paid for dropbox are 
not affected in any way shape or form. So while this thread goes on, and 
on. Remember the state quote discussion about free services if you want 
free you get nothing. There is no such thing as a free lunch ever! If 
you want service, unfortunately you must pay for the service. I know I 
may sound harsh and nasty but that’s the answer I got dropbox. They 
will try to address the concerns about things such as blindness specific 
applications that link to their service. In the next release. But that 
fixable only be for paid customers. I think all the other services will 
adopt similar policies to dropbox. Unfortunately this is a capitalist 
system. I think I’ve said enough on this one. Please do not send me 
flaming emails they won’t be read they will just simply be deleted. 
For the record, I don’t work for nor do I have any financial 
relationship with dropbox other than what a normal customer would have.
