Re: sierra and battery status

Hi Gabe, It’s in the public beta, beta 4 release I believe. Not sure when the next Apple official update will be but probably not long since these are just maintenance releases. > On Jan 20, 2017, at 1:44 PM, Gabe Griffith wrote: > > Hello Scott, > Is that

Re: sierra and battery status

Hello Scott, Is that something that is still in beta or has it been released and an update yet? If it is still in beta is there any idea when it might be released to the public? That is very exciting news to hear that we will be getting the percentage notification back. Gabe Sent from Gabe's

Re: sierra and battery status

You now get both percentage, time to go and the actual power status whether it’s charging, on power but charged, battery etc. > On Jan 16, 2017, at 1:34 PM, Mike Arrigo wrote: > > Does it do time estimation or just a percentage, I would be fine with a just > a percentage,

Re: sierra and battery status

Does it do time estimation or just a percentage, I would be fine with a just a percentage, since guessing how much time is left is much more difficult and subjective. > On Jan 16, 2017, at 10:59 AM, Scott Granados wrote: > > Also, in the latest public beta, the menu

Re: sierra and battery status

Scott, That's good news. I din't think that it would be a difficult fix since the announcement was still made when charging, but not when just on battery power. Also, with a graphic being present for sighted users, there's easy access to the status data. Later... Tim Kilburn Fort McMurray,

Also, in the latest public beta, the menu item is restored to functional. It’s a little different wording and gives a bit more status about the charge and such but it restores a spoken value to the on screen control like we had previously. > On Jan 16, 2017, at 10:40 AM, Mike Arrigo

Re: sierra and battery status

You can ask Seri to give you the battery level and it will, it's also in the system preferences under energy saver, not nearly as convenient as before, also this will only give you the percentage, Apple removed the time estimation completely. > On Jan 15, 2017, at 10:44 AM, Gabe Griffith

Shawn, Cool how things come and go on this list. I'll still say "Good job" to you anyway as you were good enough to share it with folks for this need. Thanks. Later... Tim Kilburn Fort McMurray, AB Canada On Jan 15, 2017, at 18:48, Shawn Krasniuk wrote: Hi Tim. I

Re: sierra and battery status

Say Power Status: If your Mac is running on battery power, this script announces the percent of the battery remaining, and the estimated run-time. If your Mac is running on mains/wall power, the battery percentage is reported, along with the estimated recharge time.

Re: sierra and battery status

Hi Tim. I actually didn't make the Battery Status script. I downloaded it a few years ago, coincidentally, from this list when someone else shared it. Shawn Sent From My White MacBook Facebook Username: Shawn Krasniuk Twitter Handle: shawnk_aka_bbs Skype username: bbstheblindrapper Facetime:

Re: sierra and battery status

Hi, If your Mac is charging, then the battery status is announced by VO, if not, then you have a few options. You can ask Siri, works but problematic in a meeting or other public venue. You can go to System Prefs in the Energy Saver pane and it is available there. Also, in the Activity

sierra and battery status

Hello all, I know this discussion came up a while back but I wasn't running Sierra then. I have recently updated my Mac to Sierra and the menu extras option is not showing the battery level. What is the trick or where can it now be found? Thanks, Gabe -- The following information is
