Re: Entering Today's Date and Current Time in Numbers in Mavericks
Thanks, Gigi, that's a great tip. So I guess command-v pastes the formula and command-shift-v pastes the result of the formula?

Re: Accessible and Automated OCR Workflow
Hi Keith, Three more questions. 1. What do the following lines do? Do they test whether the file is a text-based or image-based pdf? Do I need to customise any of that stuff (e.g. the MyFile thing), or do I simply copy and paste it as is? set myFile to POSIX path of theFile set theResult to do shell script grep -i 'encoding' quoted form of myFile /dev/null echo 1 || echo 0 if theResult is 0 then 2. Do I need to have those .wav files for it's done etcetera for those alert sounds to work? I guess I can just change that path name to point to one of the system files and it should work? Or I could just remove that line entirely? 3. Do I need to enter the version number for PDFPen?

Re: Resizing objects in the latest version of Keynote
Hello Chris: The results are the same, but the logistics are different. On the new Keynote, you have a formatter tool, and you can change those parameters if, on the slide, you select the text box, and then you go to that formatter. This new keynote is kind of smart, and it gives you the possibilities regarding the kind of content selected on the slide. If you upgrade and need some help, just let me know. I find this new keynote just great and work much better than in the old version. Take care!

But overall I found them to be usable. The other thing you might want to know is that Dragon uses the TextEdit interface in order to store its text before you transfer it into an application. Although this is very confusing to a voiceover user. I would strongly suggest that when using the application used to set up whatever profile you're going to use and pick from the options in the speech menu. For instance, I prefer to start my dictation from a sleep state. This way I can isolate the Dragon functions from the voiceover functions. But if one wanted to one could start the microphone immediately by any least microphone on selection for instance. And these all in very different windows.

Re: Apple Script saving .aiff file
Tracy, Just in case you did not find the say command instructions from the Standard Editions dictionary, here they are. und to play say v : Speak the given text say text : the text to speak, which can include intonation characters [displaying text] : the text to display in the feedback window (if different). Ignored unless Speech Recognition is on. [using text] : the voice to speak with. (Default is the system voice.) [speaking rate number] : the rate of speech in words per minute. Average human speech occurs at a rate of 180 to 220 words per minute. (Default depends on the voice used. If “using” is not given, the system speaking rate is the default.) [pitch number] : the base pitch frequency, a real number from 0 to 127. Values correspond to MIDI note values, where 60 is equal to middle C. Typical pitches range from around 30 to 40 for a low-pitched male voice to perhaps 55 to 65 for a high-pitched child’s voice. [modulation number] : the pitch modulation, a real number from 0 to 127. A value of 0 corresponds to a monotone in which all speech is at the base speech pitch. Given a pitch value of 46, a modulation of 2 means the widest range of pitches would be 44 to 48. [volume number] : the volume, a real number from 0 to 1 (default is the system volume). [stopping current speech boolean] : stop any current speech before starting (default is false). When false, “say” waits for previous speech commands to complete before beginning to speak. [waiting until completion boolean] : wait for speech to complete before returning (default is true). [saving to any] : the alias, file reference or path string of an AIFF file (existing or not) to contain the sound output. When “saving to” or voice-modifying parameters other than “using” are given, text is not displayed in the Speech Recognition feedback window, as it is not used to produce the speech in that case.

tagging people in Facebook
OK so I've been told that if you put the # symbol before a name in an FB post, that will tag the person. For some reason it only adds a link to the first word. Also, when I use the Tag people in your posts feature, it doesn't tag them but says I'm with them. What am I doing wrong? :) Using Safari and Mavericks on the FB Mobile site.

Re: tagging people in Facebook
I was under the impression that the at sign was what you needed to use. Using jaws for Windows, if you type of person's name, you should see a list box of suggestions. Pressing enter on that will tag the person. This doesn't seem to be at all reliable, and I don't find other screen readers able to do this on windows. It seems I tried it with voiceover on the Mac, and wasn't successful, but I could be wrong about that.

Re: Calendar in iOS
Actually, the list button does work. Its function has changed from iOS 7.0. When in the month view, list button now activates the month list view from iOS 6 calendar. In other words, with list button activated, double-tapping a date selects it rather than opening it, and the appointments appear in a list below the month view. I prefer this method because it permits me to quickly go through a day and schedule new appointments for my patients at the end of each session. I, therefore, am very glad Apple has placed this functionality back into the calendar month view.

Re: disk aid
Best wishes, Jonathan OK, you should be able to get drag and drop to work also as long as both positions are visible on the primary screen at the same time. The best way to do this in Mavericks is to use the tabs. 1. Open up the applications folder. 2. Click command-T to create a second tab. 3. Navigate to the source object. 4. Initiate the drag. 5. Move OV to the Tab bar of the applications tab 6. Initiate the drop action. On a related note: Has any body tried using the VO command to drop item on a hot spot?

Re: braille production on the Mac
Hi Caitlymn, Give it a shot and let us know if you were successful in getting it to emboss. My guess is when you open it from your applications file you'll get a lot of java errors. You may also see an error about the braille functions being disabled. If you get it to emboss without issues, please let us know.

Can I merge multiple HTML files into one file.
Hi. I need to merge a lot of HTML files into one file. Can anyone tell me how I can do it. I found a tool on the internet but a rather expensive tool for that in my opinion, but if there is no other way to go, I may buy it. Thank you an advance.

Re: Can I merge multiple HTML files into one file.
Annie - I wouldn't buy a tool to do that. But it may depend on how many files you mean. You can open the files in an editor and just concatenate them by saving the entire file. A lot of modern word processors will open HTML files and you can simply open multiple files and then save them as a single file. It is also possible to approach this from other angles depending on your goals. I don't know much regarding how to go about handling something like this with the Mac but used to deal with it in Windows. Nevertheless, this is a pretty simple thing, and I wouldn't think it would be necessary to spend any money to accomplish it. Maybe it would be good to know more about what you need to do.

Re: accessible thesaurus
Quite right Jim. Here's how I did it. 1. Open the widgit bar menu from F12. 2. Select dictionary from this drop down. 3. Type in or paste in the word you wish. 4. Now, from the pop up menu just to the left of the text box, select either dictionary or Thesaurus. 5. Now, press return. That'll do it. Many thanks Jim.

Re: accessible thesaurus
Ray I thought there used to be a keystroke defined to open dictionary but I don't see one.

Re: Apple Script saving .aiff file
Tracy, I am not sure why you want to save a file out for this. Maybe a little more context would help. In any case you can add a delay before the say statement. Maybe something like this. beep delay 1 say Hello World using Tessa Not sure exactly how to incorporate the beep without some Google Foo but you get the idea.

Re: Apple Script saving .aiff file
Tracy, Ok, so your later note says that you are doing exactly what I suggested in my earlier reply. Serves me right for not reading the entire thread. Although I do stand by my request for more context. So are you wanting to create a wav file with the beep and the text spoken by that voice in order to incorporate it into another script using do shell script “afplay ~/path_to_file/sayit.wav”? If so why not just leave the lines in the script. Irrigardless, I will look into it and get back with you in a bit, if not in the morning.

Re: Entering Today's Date and Current Time in Numbers in Mavericks
Yes, and I found out it works. My husband, who used to teach Excel for Brookhaven College, said I didn't understand the purpose of the today and now functions. I don't get it completely (because I don't really need to), but it has to do with something in the future, like keeping up with something due later or something like that. For my simple uses, yes, putting the shift with the command v pastes the results in there, and mine stayed put.

Re: tagging people in Facebook
It's hard to review what you do on any screen-reader, but this method has worked consistently for me. While writing your status, press the at symbol (shift-2 on the keyboard) immediately followed by the person's name or a large part outhe name and press enter. Finish the status. When you review your post on your wall with Voiceover, it will say the name with a link and menu, which indicates the person has been tagged.

Re: Apple Script saving .aiff file

Re: Accessible and Automated OCR Workflow
Hi, Sorry for the delay in getting back with you on this. The wife had me working all day and am now just catching up with email. so, lets take them one at a time. 1. This script works from a Hazel rule. So you can create a rule on a particular folder with an action that says, if all of the following, extension is pdf do the following. run AppleScript with the code I sent. then move the file to wherever you wish. 2. Sorry I forgot that I left my It is done Imperious Leader! wav file in there. You can just delete that line or point it to a wav file of your choice. 3. No you don't need to enter the version number. But you do need to remove the Pro if you only have the standard edition. forgot to note that as well. sorry.

Do I need to have those .wav files for it's done etcetera for those alert sounds to work? I guess I can just change that path name to point to one of the system files and it should work?

Re: Accessible and Automated OCR Workflow
Ooops, don't think I quite answered your first question in full. theFile is an alias to the file that Hazel is performing the action on. So that line of code calls a shell script to look at the file for a specific string. If its there then the file is already OCR'd and nothing needs to be done to it. If its not there then OCR it.

Re: Accessible and Automated OCR Workflow
Anne, I have a friend who owns ABBY. I will ask him to play with it a bit to see if it can be substituted.

I do know that PDFPen uses ABBY for their OCR. At least that is what I have seen in my Applications folder. As for the tabs in AppleScript. They are just for readability. Keeps the different sections of the script straight in my head. Keith On Mar 15, 2014, at 2:34 AM, Nicholas Parsons mr.nicholas.pars...@gmail.com wrote: Hi Keith, Thanks a bunch for that! Just a couple of questions. First, generally, are the tabs significant in Apple Script? I suspect yes but I've never learnt Apple Script so I'm not sure. Second, do you have any idea if ABBYY FineReader is scriptable and could it thus be used instead of PDFPen in that script? Without any training or anything it seems ABBYY FineReader gives me better results generally.

Re: download progress reports using itunes on the mac
Hi, Press cmd-option-4 to open your Downloads window while in iTunes. You can then Interact with the Downloads table within this window to check the progress of each item being downloaded. If you are only downloading one item though, there is no real need to open the Download window, simply go to the LCD panel, and it can be accessed in there. If it is displaying the current song or something like that, just press the Show Next View button in the LCD panel and you should get the Download progress. HTH. Later...
