Re: iTunes on a PC

2022-05-07 Thread Joshua Hendrickson
Hi Sarah.  I also use NVDA and I am able to use iTunes.  I have no
idea how it would work, but I'm sure that if you bought a movie and
wanted to watch it on iTunes, you could do it directly through the
program.  How accessible the program is at doing this, I have no idea.
I use iTunes to copy ringtones to my iPhone and also, transfer zipped
folders of audio book series to voice dream reader.  Itunes isn't the
most accessible program I've ever used, but I can use it.  I haven't
tried out a lot of stuff with it, but I can use it for the things I
want to use it for.

iTunes on a PC

2022-05-07 Thread Sarah Clark
I know that years ago iTunes was not very accessible on a Windows PC. Is 
this still the case, or has accessibility improved? I'm using NVDA.



Also, if I wanted to watch a movie on my PC that I bought through 
iTunes, can it be watched directly through iTunes or would I need to 
download some app in order to watch it on the PC? (needless to say, I 
have no experience with iTunes on a computer so unsure what is involved)



Thanks,

Sarah

Re: Virtical navigation and Excell

2022-05-07 Thread Michael Feir
There's actually a "rows" option on the rotor while you're in a
spreadsheet. You should use that when going up or down between rows. While
in a cell, use character and word settings to move while changing content.
Hope that helps.

Virtical navigation and Excell

2022-05-07 Thread Marty
Hello,  I use Excel to keep track of attendees at events that I am in in 
charge of.  I try to navigate through these files on my phone using 
Vertical Navigation on the Rotor.  The problem is that swiping up or 
down seems to jump me 2 rows in the spread sheet instead of just one 
row.  Is there any way to change this?

 Subject: accessing a Kindle eBook that refuses to play nicely with 
 VoiceOver
 
 Hi everyone,
 
 I purchased  a Kindle eBook on my phone and was told, "VoiceOver does not
 support this content." It's a Jewish prayerbook, and odds are that it's
 pictures of the pages, rather than the actual text. I know there used to be
 software that could convert Kindle eBooks into accessible formats. If I end
 up with an image-based file, such as an images-only PDF, I can run it
 through Voice Dream Reader to recognize the text, so I'm fine if the
 software creates an image file. Does anyone know of software that can do
 this? I have access to computers running MacOS and Windows, so either is
 fine.
 
 Thanks so much for any help! I'd like to have this for my nephew's bar
 mitzvah in a couple of weeks.
 
 Best,
 Anna

problem with amazon iphone app

2022-05-07 Thread Maria Chapman
HI.
i am writing this for a friend.
He is using the amazon shopping app on the iPhone. He uses amazon uk. Lately 
his  basket and saved for later has been randomly deleting all his items. Is 
anyone else having this problem?
does anyone know if there is something he can do in the app to prevent this? 
Can this happen accidentally while navigating the app?
He has been using the app a long time with no problems until recently.
any ideas?

thanks 
Maira
