I suddenly discovered a pairing workaround one day. I set the sounds to 'on" in VO. When the pairing dialog comes up, it flashes a window, which makes a sound. As soon as I hear that sound, I turn my display off, which keeps the window in focus for some odd reason. Then I find the edit field to

Most of the issues I find in software seem to fall into two buckets. Either the developer used standard controls but failed to label them, or they made custom controls and failed to finish the job by making them accessible (undiscoverable or unusable). The former is easier to fix, the latter ca

Hi there It ain't easy! I had to go in for a Genius Bar appointment. Basically, voiceover is missing telling you some stuff on the screen, plus it doesn't work every time anyway. When you think you've got the Braille display up on the screen, tell voiceover to do a search for the word focus. The

Hello Eugenia. Please tell me how you got your Focus Blue working on the Mac Via Blue Tooth as I tried it sometime ago and it would not do it and so reported it to the accessibility team who were investigating it. Not tried it since. I have the Focus Blue 40 and plan to buy the Focus blue 14 ne

True enough. The thing is, most developers know and will probably still use Objective-C for quite a while to come. I haven't used the Swift language yet, but I don't see how it will help avoid accessibility problems. It may offer slightly faster coding, but that is about it. I'll let you all kno

They have a new language which is called Swift. Seems to eliminate a lot of the cruft required to get ObjectiveC to do what they want and also eliminates a number of constructs that were authoring errors. So it sounds like they are trying to set developers up for success more easily which shoul

Hi guys I just got through listening to the keynote, and I didn't hear anything that calls me to say, all know jeepers! I think we're going to be okay basically, but, as always, we will probably have some Accessibility miseries for a while. If I understand what was said, they wrote a new program

Well, the way I figure it, when using an off-the-shelf product, you take your chances with accessibility. I signed up for the public beta. if it doesn't work out, I know from trial and error how to erase my drive and revert to an earlier OS. It should be a piece of cake compared to some of the b
