RE: questions about NVDA
Great, thanks for telling me that now. I was hoping to install boot camp on my new mbp 13inch when it arrives in about a week. So would I be better then using vm fusion or virtual box? Or will windows 7 be fine in a bootcamp setup? -Original Message- From: macvisionaries@googlegroups.com [mailto:macvisionar...@googlegroups.com] On Behalf Of M.

However I've considered it simply because I'd like to try using zoomtext to try to look at photos as I do not feel the built in zoom for the mac is good for that.

RE: questions about NVDA
Yeh It's the mbp 2.53 ghz processor model, I'm pgetting it with 4gb ram, as 8gb would have cost another 1200 dollars from apple out of the factory. So I'll just wait a couple of months and get 8 gig in 2 4 gig sticks that should take care of any memory issues with bootcamp or vm fusion if I go that way. -Original Message- From: macvisionaries@googlegroups.com [mailto:macvisionar...@googlegroups.com] On Behalf Of Joe Plummer Sent: Saturday, 12 December 2009 9:22 a.m. To: macvisionaries@googlegroups.com Subject: RE: questions about NVDA This is true you will need some vision around to do boot camp.

RE: vmware and key combinations
In that case the vm is not taking up the full screen size.

The keys I press don't do what they normally do in windows, and obviously there are good reasons for it. I checked the vm ware website, but there is only a half accessible pdf file, that doesn't contain the info I need. I alt plus tab a lot in windows. However, the command tab combination from within windows in vm ware, takes me to the mac os, and back, rather than switching from program to program inside vm's virtual machine. What can I do to set command plus tab to do an alt plus tab inside vm ware? 2. How do I simulate the application key? The mac has none. 3. How should I simulate a shift plus f10? Simply presing this combination stops windows from responding, inside vm ware. Do we press another key to simulate a shift f10? 4. It seems that voice over must be turned off, before starting windows in vm ware. This is said to be true starting in vm ware fusion version 3. At what point should I do this? 5. Is it easiest to run windows inside vm ware in a normal window, or rather full screen? Interested to know.

Hi, Well, I think you forget one important point in this discussion; The Mac and the iPhone/iPod Touch not only speaks out of the box in the Apple Store, it also talks without any additional software on any Mac and any iPHone/iPod Touch your friends, your family, your internet cafés, your library, your school, your university, your work etc etc have at their location. So, you are not forced to use only your own special edited and pre-installed PC at home or at work, with only one authorization available. You are free to use any Mac/iPHone/iPod Touch on this planet. If your unit is stolen, lost, broken or simply not where you currently are, there are always another one available. No re-installing, re-authorization, help to perform installation etc etc. That is a consept I like, and would like to benefit from. In addition, my Mac and iPHone is currently what makes me productive and able to run my business with success. NOt that I could not do just that with a PC, but not with that kind of freedom.

While a computer that talks off-the-shelf is great, that's no reason to tell someone they need to buy the mac. While I like the mac, the cost really doesn't balance out having a computer that talks in the apple store. I still stand by what I've said since I received voiceover. There are some things that VO does and doesn't do better than Jaws. I think we should be looking at what the reader gives us when advertizing it rather than saying You can use this in the store. Because in reality it doesn't really matter to our productivity if it works off the shelf. While I think the IPhone is great, as I said, I will be buying something that isn't an IPhone because of it's voice active issues.

RE: VMWare Fusion 3 / Windows 7

Would someone who has upgraded share if you are finding anything troublesome in the new version, anything new that is a benefit?

virtual box
Hi List, I need some assistance with virtual box accessibility. Does anyone on this list use it at all? Or can anyone tell me if parallels 5 is going to let me work with a windows vm running jaws 10 or 11? I need to be able to use one of these vm products for work and after playing with virtual box, I've found it to be not great with VO. I hoped that someone may have some solutions to how to make vb more accessible. Cheers Simon F -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups MacVisionaries group.

RE: After I Phone is paired
Phones are not locked in new Zealand. I can buy a fone from Vodafone nz and take it to one of our other 3 providers and use it. Of course that is as long as the network / phone are compatible. The iphone can be used on any of our four networks and can be tethered on at least the two main ones who actually support mobile data connections.

RE: best ISP in New Zealand?
Yuma, Firstly, it's not a great place, it's Auckland! And don't you forget it. The real world starts south of the creak. That creak being cook straite. Anyway. I use a company called Xnet, That is x net, It costs me $69.00 per month for both phone and internet, but then costs me 1 dollar per gig of data transferred. This is a 24 / 7 charge. So for every gig of data, it's $1. However a friend is on same plan but gets charged $1.50 per gig , but has free download traffic between 2 am and 8 am everyday this may be of use to u if you have family back home you wish to contact. Might allow for time zone differences. But there are also telecom NZ, which I wouldn't touch. Vodafone nz, which again I wouldn't touch. Telstra clear, Orcon.net.nz, which is men tto be pretty good, and or slingshot, which I've heard both good and bad things about. Really depends on what your after. Slingshot do a 75 gig traffic account for Approx $50 per month. But really x net seem to be doing a great thing. Check them out and if it's something hyou want to go for, then let me know, and I'll give you my details as a recommendation for their service. Hoe that helps.

RE: Prowl app for louder mail and other notification sounds [was Re: sounds very disappointing.]

He has the start trek communicator noise when he gets a text. -Original Message- From: macvisionaries@googlegroups.com [mailto:macvisionar...@googlegroups.com] On Behalf Of Esther Sent: Monday, 15 March 2010 8:36 a.m. To: viph...@googlegroups.com; macvisionaries@googlegroups.com Subject: Prowl app for louder mail and other notification sounds [was Re: sounds very disappointing.] Hello Bernard, You wrote: Well I am truly amazed and disappointed. there is not much point of having a wide variety of ring and other tones on your iphone. You can select from all your tones for incoming calls. new text messages they allow you to choose from 5 or 6 built in sounds. You won't believe this the new mail, sent mail and calender alert sounds can only be turned off and on and the default and only sounds they use are just no good for someone hard of hearing. what's more I can't believe apple have not been swamped under complaints re this. I think the clock can select between all your loaded tones as can the incoming call ring tone selector. apart from that the new sms or text message sound can select from about 6 the new mail, sent mail and voicemail can only be turned on and off. if the set sounds were loud it would be ok but most you would not hear if you were in the city with traffic noise all round and you were not waring headphones. I think some of these designers never leave their high rise air conditioned office blocks. has anyone else noticed how limited the sound settings were. I'm cc'ing this to the macvisionaries list, since this may be of general interest. If you have Growl running for notifications on your PC, you might try the Prowl app ($2.99). I've only played with this a little, because I don't need these functions myself (I have a MobileMe account that updates mail notifications with push, and the regular volume settings work fine for me on my iPod Touch). Growl is a global notification system for the Mac OS X and Windows. For the large number of applications that support Growl, you can get notifications when tasks are done. For example, if you are downloading a series of files, you might want to have the download program send you a notification when it's done, which you could assign to a particular sound. Similarly, you can install a GrowlMail plugin (on the Mac) that sends a Growl notification whenever a new mail message comes in. What might be of interest to you and other iPhone/iPod Touch users is that the Prowl app, which is a Growl client for the iPhone, can be set to play different and louder sounds than the default settings for mail on the iPhone, and also give you push notifications when new mail arrives on your computer. Here's a quote from a user comment posted on the iPhone Apps Plus page that reviewed Prowl: I love this application, have configured it to send me notification from Apple Mail using Growl plugin so that i can get push notification and LOUDER mail sound (why Apple hasn't added sound customization for mail is beyond me). Google Growl or Growl for Windows (in your case) to read about the Growl and to get the most recent download. Growl is free (donationware), but does require some setting up. You may already have it on your system, since a number of apps will come with the ability to install Growl. Prowl basically just displays the notifications that are sent from Growl. You need to create a free account, which you can do from the Register link on the Prowl web page even before you purchase the app. When you launch the app the first time, you'll be in the text box for your login username and there is a second text box for your password. There are also buttons for Register and Log in, but I had to read through the setup on the Prowl web page, anyway, so it was easier to set up the account there. There is a Settings button in the upper left of the main screen that lets choose the sounds you want to use. By default, sounds will be turned on while Growl is open, and Quiet Hours (times when you don't want to allow any Growl notifications) are turned off. Exit the Settings menu by double tapping the History button in the upper left, that will take you to the main Prowl screen with a list of your (historical) notifications which you can Edit (button in the upper right) to delete, etc. If you are using the Prowl web page to follow the installation and setup instructions, and have logged in through the Register link, there will be an Add Notification link to a page where you can try typing and sending a notification. That notification should show up on your iPhone through the Prowl app when you press the Add Notification button to send off the text. This should allow you to test out your settings.

Having the link rotor dialogue open as it does on the mac might also be simple, as it's essencially the same thing with the keyboard interface vs a touch interface.

On the current generation Macs, we work largely with keyboard shortcuts and the newest machines incorporate some of the gestures used on the iPhone and iPod Touch. My speculation was that Apple might introduce VO extensions for the iPad that function like the keyboard shortcuts to make it easier to work from the keyboard alone for simple functions, rather than have you type on your keyboard, put this down to pick up your iPad, perform a few touch screen gestures and then put the iPad down again to return to your keyboard. I was not saying that the current iPhone or iPod Touch did not let you navigate by links headings, etc. Some of the limitations in the range of navigation options on web pages on the iPhone and iPod Touch resemble the restrictions in VO performance in its first release under Tiger. Since Chris was wondering about support for the VO keyboard shortcuts that we use under the full Mac system, and since I don't believe he uses either an iPhone or iPod Touch, I was trying to address his questions about the likelihood for a hybrid version of the VO on an iPad that uses some of the keyboard shortcuts on the regular Mac keyboards, just as the iPhone and iPod Touch gestures have made their way into the expanded usage of Mac computers under recent OS and model updates.

RE: Hi have a networking question
If your going from the mac machine to the windows machine then try using the terminal. I think from memory its command K, Then use SMB at the start of your command So it would be something like Smb:\\ip-address, or domain name.com. If this is on your personal network then use the IP address and if you have a shared drive or folder on your windows machine, you should either get it or get a username / password if you have one on the file / folder share. Macs can read the windows folder structure and write to it if it's a fat32 file structure. If the windows machine uses an ntfs file structure then the mac will read but not write to it.

Generally, it's an iPhone. However, besides the screen size being increased, the interface has increased in complexity, also. Apple is certainly using the extra space to expand on what is possible with an iPhone type touch interface. It took me only very little time to discover that portrait mode (which lots of sighted users select), is probably not the best for a blind person. When you're working with two hands, having more horizontal room seems to make more of a difference when navigating. Fortunately, it is a snap to try either way to see what works for you. I absolutely agree with the posters that were talking about the horrible oversight about the back plate of the iPad. It is almost nothing but shiny aluminum. You're supposed to be able to set the iPad on a table to use it, but I promise, the first time that you place it on any table that isn't absolutely clear of small dirt particles, you'll pic it up to discover that the slight motion of you pushing and sliding the iPad has ground the dirt particles in to the back, and scratched the hell out of your shiny aluminum back plate. Of course, you can buy the case to fix that. the case is a type of thin and stiff coated particle board that feels a lot like a traditional print notebook. One side snugly holds the iPad, and the other side is a flap that covers the iPad screen when closed. I suppose that most people will want the case to protect the screen when traveling, anyway. If you go without the case, though, you are absolutely asking for it. Apple could have put something on the back to make the iPad more stable. Maybe not rubber feet, but they could have gone with a felt square in the center, a stylized strip of some high friction material, etc. The curved back will insure that the iPad wobbles on the table, and the glossy case will absolutely scratch. VoiceOver sounded about the same, and responded with the same speed, pretty much. The speaker was very clear. Didn't get to play music with it, but I hear the bass is poor. Still, speech is pretty good through the built-in speakers. However, it seemed to me that iPad programs opened more slowly than on the iPhone. Maybe there is more information to load? However, with more memory and a faster processor, I wasn't expecting that. I wasn't dramatically blown away by the applications that were available on it, but working with a big talking touch screen interface started me dreaming about things that *could* be accomplished with a device like that. Many people might not need the iPad for web surfing or checking e-mail, but I think that, eventually, there will be some very unique uses for the iPad.

Hmmm. I thought NeoOffice and OpenOffice were different products. Originally OpenOffice used X11 (a unix windowing system) and NeoOffice used Java to do the UI from the OpenOffice base code. More recently openOffice came out with an Aqua version which uses native UI APIs instead of X11. Here is one comparison site: http://neowiki.neooffice.org/index.php/NeoOffice_Feature_Comparison In their table for support of Mac OSX accessibility framework they have a red x which implies that voiceover support isn't there.

RE: Statistics packages
Any idea where we can get these scripts for spss? -Original Message- From: macvisionaries@googlegroups.com [mailto:macvisionar...@googlegroups.com] On Behalf Of Chris Hofstader Sent: Friday, 28 August 2009 1:34 a.m. To: macvisionaries@googlegroups.com Subject: Re: Statistics packages Hi, The industry standard for statics packages is SSPS and I do not know if there is a Macintosh version. Peter Orem (probably misspelled) in the UK wrote a set of JAWS scripts and tends to keep them up to date so he and other blinks can use the program. Math in general is a very touchy subject around people with vision impairment. LaTeX is an excellent notation system but was designed to generate nicely formatted print output. Knuth (now a professor at Stanford who hates being bothered), authored of TeX and LaTex and, in one of his fairly rare public statements expressed near shock that people were using the tools to actually manipulate equations. I would recommend the Nimith (also likely misspelled) or DotsPlus (John Gardner of ViewPlus) Braille systems for math. Both were designed from the ground up to be used by blind people (Nimith and Gardner are both blind) and both take up less very expensive real estate on a refreshable display. You can contact Gardner personally at ViewPlus, I think Abe Nimith is long retired and probably hard to find. The basic differences in the systems is that Gardner uses an 8 dot output and Nimith, being much older, uses only the original 6 dots. While Gardner can fit more information in a single, thus furthering the efficiency of those expensive cells, it is far less widely known so, if you encounter other blinks, they will be more likely to know Nimith than any of the eight or nine other systems, including Gardner, out there for math. If you live in Australia, though, you will find a whole lot of DotsPlus users doing math with Braille - I've no clue why people down under embraced that system over the others except that, to many people, it is thought to be superior and because fewer cells so a smaller Braille display will work decently. Once again, I don't know if SSPS has a version for Macintosh nor do I know if the Macintosh Braille output can jump in and out of different translation tables (does anyone here switch from English to another human language and back using Braille?). There are other math packages: Mathematica, MathCAD for instance, that may have Macintosh versions but I know not if they support jumping in and out of the tactile systems like Nimith and DotsPlus. Ted Henter is actively working on his HenterMath program again but it will definitely not be done in time for your coursework this fall. I think that both Freedom Scientific and Humanware have low cost Nimith tutorials for PAC Mate and BrailleNote respectively. I've never used either so I can't not give a first hand endorsement but the one from FS grew out of the very popular Nimith tutorial sold (or was it given away) by Blazie back in the old days. I know of lots of people working on various aspects of handling math without vision. You might look up Art Carshmer, a professor at UC San Francisco, for whom math for blinks has been nearly his entire research career. There are others out there and, if you are interested, write to me off list and I can help you with introductions and such as the information above is nearly 100% of what I can recall about this subject on my first cup of coffee.

I guess after seeing how the mac does things, and how you can install the operating system totally without sighted help, I refuse to settle for less. On Sep 3, 2009, at 2:46 AM, M. Taylor wrote: Hello Everyone, Just a quick update to thank you all for the wonderful help I received with my V M Ware Fusion project. I have been accepted into the private Beta program for V M Ware. As a result, I am now using Fusion 11.x. I tell you all this not to boast but so that you will know that any comments I make on the program are based on an as yet unreleased version of Fusion. I am absolutely delighted to report that Windows 7 is running beautifully on my MacBook Pro. I am amazed at how fast the virtual machine functions. There is truly no delay in processing, at least, none that I can discern. The audio drivers work fine with Jaws 11. Oh yes, I decided to install the public beta of Jaws 11, also. There is one tiny glitch that I will report to V M Ware tomorrow. Read the following to discover the glitch: 1. Install Fusion 11. 2. Install Windows 7. There will be no sound. This is an old issue from the Vista days. Also, screen resolution is set to 800x600. While you can adjust screen resolution at this point, it is best to wait. 3. Run Windows 7 Update from within the virtual machine and at least two important drivers will be installed. One of these drivers is for the MacBook Pro sound card. 4. Restart Windows 7 and there will be perfect sound that is accessible using the same hardware keys as OSX. NOTE 1: For best result, I strongly recommend that you run the virtual machine as a full screen. NOTE 2: The following can be done in no particular order: 5. Install Jaws 11. At this point, everything will be working fine; however, as you enter and exit the virtual machine, you will be prompted to install the V M Ware Tools. Again, it is not necessary to do this but, for best results in the future, it is highly recommended that you do so. Simply change focus back to OSX, there are a couple of ways to do this but I will wait for enquiries before listing them as I don't want this message to get too long. Using VO, select to install the V M Ware tools for this particular virtual machine. Once the installation begins, Jaws will begin reading the dialog boxes that appear within the Windows 7 desktop. Follow the prompt to complete the installation. 6. Upon restarting Windows 7, after installing the V M Ware tools, you may notice two things: (1) the screen resolution has been correctly adjusted for the native screen resolution for the MacBook Pro or whatever type of computer display you're using and (2) there is, once again, no sound. During the V M Ware Tools installation, the correct audio driver is replaced with a VM Ware driver that does not work on the Mac Book Pro. 7. From within Windows 7, in the device manager, select the properties for the VM Ware sound card and choose to rollback the driver. 8. Restart Windows 7 and, behold, the sound returns and all is right with the world. OK, I am so tired that I am going to stop typing at this point. Good Luck to all Fellow Snow Leopard and Windows 7 tightrope walkers.

RE: load of rubbish!
I've played with the iphone over a couple of months and I've gotta say, that although it's not a device for me. It's a bloody good attempt at accessibility and I think that 1. apple should be commended for their attempt at making it accessible out of the box. 2. it's a great device for those needing to do email and document reading that don't have access to a blackberry, and don't want to carry a laptop / net book around with tem. 3. it should be shown to any VI or totally blind person as an option as a usable cellular device. It takes a bit of getting use to but it's very usable if you have the time to use it. I myself needed to switch back to a symbian based device for the reason that I was on the go all the time and needed something that I could use with one hand while walking but would also give me full PDA / appointment time managing features.

I can see the network disks, send mail, and access all the resources I need to access as though I'm in the office. hth Donal On 29 Sep 2009, at 23:25, Christina wrote: This may sound dumb but for my information, could you please let me know what a VPN is.

The two clients I've looked at are Tunnelblick and Viscosity. In case anyone needs to use a VPN, my thoughts on both are given below. 1. Viscosity. I chose this one first because, as Esther said at the time this topic was discussed, it supports applescript. The installation for this application follows standard OSX conventions, and creates no problems with VO whatsoever. The application is not very accessible in the typical sense of the word. It uses a status menu (NSStatusItem which it locates in the vicinity of time machine, and the other Extra menu items Apple use. Problems with such status menus are well documented here and on other lists so I won't delve into that again. However, suffice it to say that because the status menu is inaccessible, it precludes getting to the menu items, preferences dialog and other aspects of the software. I did ask a sighted colleague to open the preferences dialog for me, and it was navigable, but not easily so. I mentioned earlier that Viscosity does support applescript. One can easily create scripts to connect to, and disconnect from the VPN. This feature makes the application usable. Finally, I'd like to acknowledge the developer of this application. During an email exchange, he acknowledged that the app could do with some work, and also succinctly explained the issues with the NSStatusItem. He has told me that he and other developers have been on to Apple regarding this issue, and await their response. 2. Tunnelblick. This application is very similar to Viscosity described above. However, it is an opensource project, and as such the source code is available. Once again, the installation process is no problem. However, the same issues regarding NSStatusItems emerge; that is, it creates one which cannot be reached using VO. A little digging on the TunnelBlick wiki produced documentation on the preferences, which can be found in a .plist file located in ~/ library/preferences. Editing this file in the normal way, (using some educated guesswork) I could actually configure the application to both start wen I logged on, and also to automatically connect to the VPN thereby negating the need to go near the inaccessible status menu. Finally on this application, while it does not, to the best of my knowledge support applescript, it does come with a command-line interface called openvpnstart. One has to drill down into the application package (using terminal) to run this app. Also, root privileges seem to be required to run it. However, this can be scripted using the usual shell-scripts and this approach also works quite well. So in summary, the two clients I've looked at are inaccessible in one sense, but are in fact usable with a little tweaking and experimentation. I hope this helps people, and might just save some time for others in the future.

RE: Question on Remote Desktop with the Mac
I've not tried to a vm of xp / vista / windows but I don't see why you couldn't if you open rdp and click on the options button, it opens all tabs so you can setup more configurations under the local resources tab, make sure that bring sound to this machine is checked otherwise you wont have audio on your machine and then wont hear what you need to. I also check the local drive access as well so If i need to copy somehting across then I have my local drives as well as the remote machines system. also, make sure that you have the correct details for your remote machine, and that you have port forwarding setup correctly on your modem or router. I'd make sure that your forwarding sends all traffic from port 3389 to your windows VM ip address that way there should be no mistake. hope that helps. -Original Message- From: macvisionaries@googlegroups.com [mailto:macvisionar...@googlegroups.com] On Behalf Of michael A.

RE: iPhone, my first impression
Hi Christina, I've both witched to an iphone and then back to a nokia. And mainly because of the ease of use that a nokia gives you. My nokia n86 will do everything the iphone does, but uses keys rather than touch panel. Don't get me wrong, the IPhone is a great device and it should be looked at as an accessible device. But the nokia was just easier to use while on the go. The best thing to do is to try the iphone in store and also to look at a number of the nokias that are available on the market and see which one takes your fancy if at all. Your own thoughts and opinions are the most reliable. The iphone is great but it may not be wat you want in the long run.

I've never had an accessible phone. The only thing I've ever been able to do with a cell is place or answer a call. I'd like to be able to do more like use contacts, calendar, and caller id. Since, you've switched from Nokia to iphone would you go back? Do you feel you can do everything and more with the iphone or are there some aspects and features of the Nokias that you miss that I should consider? Are Nokias and the third party text to speech software compatible with the mac? I'm also wondering if I should wait until next summer to purchase an iphone. I wonder what features and such apple is working on for the phone next year.

With some training, you should be able to master the virtual keybord quite well and as for phoning, there's at least 3 ways of doing it. 1: use the dial pad, a little slow in the beginning, but it works. 2: use your contacts list, it's reachable either by itself by going into contacts or by pressing the contacts button from the phone app. 3: use voice control, works both with numbers in your address book and numbers not yet there. Hope this helps somewhat. /Krister 1 okt 2009 kl. 01.00 skrev Jean-Philippe Rykiel: Dear all, The first thing I saw, sorry, heard, was a demo video on Apple's accessibility page. It was really impressive, and I already knew that mastering such a revolutionary interface could not be achieved in a day. Well, never mind, I was excited enough to start calling shop after shop in Paris to see if there was one available to try out. And so here I was, this very morning, in a phone store in Paris, my hands on this new magic toy. I was glad I had read part of the instructions before I came, and activating voice-over on the iPhone was quite easy, much to the astonishment of the vendor. I started fiddling and was soon surprised about how quickly I was able to make friend with the objects on the object. It's really fun to manipulate indeed. Unfortunately, it was impossible to take the iPhone for a walk as it was stock inside a kind of anti-theft display case and so I tried to imagine how I would use the iPhone as I'm currently using my Nokia. And that's where I think I found a limitation to this wonderful interface. Don't misunderstand me, I absolutely admire the technical prowess, but you see, the first thing I need a phone for is to phone people. With a physical keyboard, it is actually possible to dial a number while walking in the street and holding the phone in one hand, same for SMS. The problem with the iPhone is that you can't rely on tactile information at all, and I'm afraid that using voice- over for something as simple as dialling or typing text can only be slower than using a physical keyboard. So my bottom line is that the iPhone is probably a wonderful pocket computer that can be used as a phone, but I don't see it as the ideal tool for actually calling people. This sensation I want to share with you only came after 15 minutes of playing with the iPhone and I would love to know what someone who's been using it for a longer time thinks .

fusion and sl
Hi list, I'm using an I mac, which has just had SL installed on it, plus vm fusion with an xp and a windows 7 VM running in it. What I want to know is, are there instructions on using VM fusion anywhere, as I'm having trouble getting the VM for xp to pick up on the jaws USB authorisation dongle and I need it for work. And I'd rather not have to ask someone else to enable USB in the VM's when I should be able to do it myself.
