Smart Mailboxes
Hi, since Mavericks I experience a lot of trouble using smart mailboxes. From time to time they loose the rules I set. I use the same smart mailboxes on several Macs and so it could also be an issue caused by this. Does anyone of you experience similar issues with smart mailboxes?

Re: Dashboard and VO under Mavericks
Hi Andrew, Dashboard is quite accessible but it depends on the widget and how it is programed. So it might happen that some content in a widget is accessible and some may not. To install or deinstall widgets you could just copy them to or delete them from their folder on your HD.

Re: The end of all OS X Lion support, patches included, is likely just weeks away
At the moment, Apple supports Lion, which is two versions back. But Lion is the last version of OS X for many Macs, just as Snow Leopard was previously. In other words, it seems to have shifted from supporting one version prior to two versions. Perhaps that's intentional, perhaps not. Perhaps Apple will go back to supporting one version back, in which case it will support only Mavericks, or perhaps it will support two versions back, in which case it will be supporting Mountain Lion as well, but it will no longer support Lion. Or, perhaps it will give Lion users a bit more time, as it did with Snow Leopard, in which case it would be supporting three versions behind. Who knows? There's really no way to read Apple's support policy. Apple doesn't take appeasing security people very seriously, sadly. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups MacVisionaries group.

Re: The end of all OS X Lion support, patches included, is likely just weeks away
If your Mac was made in 2007 or later and has a discrete GPU, you ought to be alright. It's the poor sods with Intel GMA950 who are in real trouble, because 64-bit drivers were never made for it; that means that Lion, which although it was a 64-bit OS could still start a 32-bit kernel, was the last practical release of OS X that could run on that hardware. As to running Lion on older hardware, unfortunately the performance is horrible with limited amounts of RAM, which means that using Windows or Linux may very well be the only way to recover the hardware. That is, of course, if Lion is maintained at all; otherwise it's obviously going to be a requirement. It's nice to see Apple trying harder to upgrade older hardware, but ultimately they're a hardware company and they really don't care how old your OS is as long as you keep buying new stuff from them every five minutes. Also, as I've said before, I'm not very enthusiastic about Apple's current focus with OS X, which effectively appears to be to attract as much of the iOS-using population as possible. Yes, I know it's good business, but I'm not interested in making Apple more money, I'm interested in being a happy customer. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups MacVisionaries group.

Also when in the dock with vo d i can begin to move through the dock and vo says entering dock. I can't for the life of me remember when this started but its a bit annoying.

Re: Smart Mailboxes
Thats entirely the purpose of smart mail boxes. Allows you to organize depending on type (such as email address, subject or any of a number of other things).

video compression and other handbrake stuff
Well, I downloaded and read up on handbrake features. I was able to compress a iMovie .produced m4v file with a change of 60mb down to 20mb file size using the .h264 codex and an rf (rate factor) of 20 (60%). I guess that's about all I really need to do with handbrake is compress the file sizes as my upload site has a 100mb limit on uploads, and that gets eaten up pretty fast. using iMovie I'm asked to select an output size with five selection possibilities, mobile, medium, large, HD720, and HD1080. I selected large and iMovie output a file 60mb in size. Handbrake then compressed it down to 20mb with no changes in picture size. am I right in assuming that iMovie doesn't give any options for compression/file size, but that is what handbrake is useful for? I want as big/large a picture as I can get (920x540) because I want the viewer to see my individual finger movements, that's why I selected large and not medium or mobile, which as far as I can tell only affects the pixel dimensions or size of the picture. enough rambling, there's not even a good question in here. Any thoughts and insights would be welcome though. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups MacVisionaries group.

Re: Smart Mailboxes
as far as I know, smart mailboxes are a feature in apples mail app. How I set up for uncategorized unread messages: 1 create a smart mailbox called unread messages 2. set condition for all of the following: a. messages are in mailbox: inbox b. messages are unread c. messages are not in (insert name of other smart mailboxes here) d. repeat c as needed. Anything not in a smart mailbox (such as macvisionairies) will show up in unread messages (so long as all conditions are met). Since I have membership in at least 40 different blindness related mailing lists, its pretty easy to sort. anything not in those smart mailboxes will still be displayed in unread messages. I do not know if other mailing clients/apps have this feature. -eric On Aug 22, 2014, at 12:37 PM, Kramlinger, Keith G., M.D. wrote: Hi, I'm new to MAC.

Re: iOS safari crashes upon opening PDFs
If you haven't installed the Adobe reader stuff PDF files should just open up in Safari as well. For example, if you go here in Safari on OSX: http://www.adobe.com/content/dam/Adobe/en/devnet/acrobat/pdfs/pdf_open_parameters.pdf that should just load up a document and then you can interact and VO-down to read through the text. Apparently some bug in iOS makes Safari crash with VO running on that platform when trying to load a PDF.

Reading documents with voiceover on the mac
Hello all, I ran into a slight problem while reading a document with voiceover on the mac. I was reading a document in text edit, and basically used the read all command. I received a telephone call and pressed the control key to stop voiceover. I stopped at about page 5 of the document, but when I restarted the document, I was back at the beginning. Is there something I need to do? Or setting I should change? I had a similar problem with Preview recently. Let me confess something here i use Windows at work with a well-known screen reader, because that is what is required, but I choose to use the mac at home. Obviously I am a more experienced Windows user as I have been using it for years. I do not spend as much time on the MAC. So, I am just trying to find out if I may have done something wrong or do not have some setting right. I am running the latest version of Mavericks with voiceover. thanks. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups MacVisionaries group.

Re: Remapping keys with VM fusion
I'm thinking about abandoning Fusion and using Bootcamp because I have not found a way around the conflicts with OS X and JAWS laptop keyboard layout. Is there anyone who has found a solution for Fusion that allows *all* the JAWS keys to be sent to JAWS and not captured by OS X? Sure, you can use Capslock + T to read the windows title. However, I cannot use many of the keys on the right side of the keyboard in conjunction with capslock to perform many JAWS functions essential for full JAWS usability. I need full access to JAWS with Fusion or none at all at this point. I really really hate to resort to Bootcamp because the attractiveness of using the Mac hinges upon use of a virtual machine for Windows for me. I need both and full access to both with the Macbook Air keyboard. I do not want to have to connect an external keyboard each time I need to use Windows. Does anyone have any suggestions?

Firstly, if you delete all the built in keystrokes, you have to do a lot of finger contortions that you don't actually need to do, given that the mac keystrokes are much easier to reach than the windows ones. I would advise people to keep them, they can actually come in really handy. Secondly, and more importantly, if you swap the windows and alt keys round in Windows, how can you command-tab away from Fusion, as command is now alt, so would give you the alt-tab keystroke in Windows? Yes, it takes a little getting used to the fusion arrangement, but it gives you far more flexibility than doing this remapping does. Cheers Dave On 17 Aug 2014, at 11:57, Kliphton Senior m.kliph...@gmail.com wrote: Below is what I found in my collection of mac tutorials. Mapping keys in fusion First off, it is true that you have no insert key on the mac, while you often do need one in windows. You can create a key mapping for yourself in 1 of 2 ways. Either using fusion itself, and there is no real down side as far as I'm aware, but it is a little tricky to set up because of an interface issue in fusion. The other way to get an insert key is to use the sharp keys program. Sharp keys lets you remap a few more keys than fusion will allow. For example, using sharp keys, you can even remap your right command, or your right option key, to the windows insert. If you do it via fusion, then all your virtual machines will get an insert key. If you have windows 7 and xp like I do, creating the insert key using the fusion keyboard remapper creates it for all virtual machines because fusion only allows you to do it inside its global preferences, command comma, and not on a per machine basis, command e. If you create your insert key using sharp keys, then it is going to be a local setting for that windows installation only, because sharp keys modifies the windows registry to do the trick. Both methods will give you the same result: an insert key that is not just insert, but that can be held down as if it were a modifier key for other keys. This answers your other issue, where caps lock cannot be used inside the virtual machine as a modifier. It works as a caps lock, but you can't hold it down and press a letter inside the virtual machine, in order to give commands to your screen reader. Sharp keys and fusion itself though, will give you an insert key like the one on a normal windows computer. This lets you use insert
VoiceOver SayAll Bug?
Hello all, I'm experiencing an odd problem with VoiceOver and wanted to see whether there is any way around it. When I perform the read contents of VoiceOver cursor command with VO+A or via a two-finger swipe down on the trackpad, VoiceOver will begin a say all, but eventually stops due to the screensaver kicking in. OS X does not seem to keep itself awake just because VO is reading continuously, so it seems that it would be necessary to either increase the time before the screen saver triggers, or else interrupt the say all frequently to hit a key and keep the computer awake.

Re: Remapping keys with VM fusion
I honestly don't know what you're doing that's giving you all this trouble, but I can tell you that I use fusion Windows 7 and Mac without any trouble. I have remapped my grads accent key to be the Jaws modifier key, or the NVDA modifier key if that's what you use. I used the windows application called sharp keys to do the remapping. Sharkeys is a little funky and a little confusing at first, but it works fine once you do it. Other than this there is no reason why fusion shouldn't be working for you. Many dozens of people at least on this list are using windows with fusion and they don't report any problems same as you were having. I wish I could help you more, but I just don't know what to tell you. If you're using a standard install a fusion and you've installed windows, then you need only to remap a key for a modifier key for your screen reader and then you should be fine. You can also with infusion settings set some key to be an insert key and then tell your screen reader to use the answer key. I've done that as well. I hope I understand correctly you're having trouble with certain keys not being passed to Jaws that seem to be getting grabbed by Mac or vice a versa. That would be a problem within the global key Settings of fusion. If you look around in those settings, and truly understand what how they work, then you should be able to clear that up without any difficulty. Don't give up on fusion just yet. Once you get it working you'll be glad you stuck with it. I wish I could help you more but I just can't.

Firstly, if you delete all the built in keystrokes, you have to do a lot of finger contortions that you don't actually need to do, given that the mac keystrokes are much easier to reach than the windows ones. I would advise people to keep them, they can actually come in really handy. Secondly, and more importantly, if you swap the windows and alt keys round in Windows, how can you command-tab away from Fusion, as command is now alt, so would give you the alt-tab keystroke in Windows? Yes, it takes a little getting used to the fusion arrangement, but it gives you far more flexibility than doing this remapping does.

Re: Remapping keys with VM fusion
Phil. You are not providing enough information and I may not have done so either. JAWS uses the capslock key as a modifier with the laptop layout. This is slightly different than an Insert key. What exactly have you remapped to the grav accent (`) key? Although I may use NVDA, my preferred screen reader is JAWS. So let me simplify my query in hopes that I can get the right information to enable JAWS access with a laptop keyboard with VMWare Fusion and JAWS What is the process people have implemented to get full access to JAWS using the laptop keyboard layout using VMWare Fusion, while also using the capslock key for the VO key on the mac? I'm not necessarily giving up yet and I have a pretty good understanding of how the Fusion keys are mapped. Sharpkeys is not at all confusing to me if that is the key to the solution. I use Seil and Karabiner to accomplish the use of the Capslock key for VO on OS X.

Re: Reading documents with voiceover on the mac
Interact with the text before issuing the vo-a command, and you should be fine. What happened was, you did vo-a, and it read the text but was not interacting with it, so vo-a started reading from VO's focus, which was the entire chunk of text in your document. Had it finished that, it would have read everything else in the Text Edit window. Interacting would put focus *inside* the text, instead of inside the window. I hope that makes sense. Also, note that control acts as a pause key; pressing it again will make speech continue where it left off, assuming your computer did not go to sleep in the meantime.

Re: VoiceOver SayAll Bug?
Hi Alex, What setting do you use to turn your screen off after a while? On further inspection of my settings I do not believe it is the screensaver that is causing this, since it wasn't set to turn on until 30 minutes of inactivity lapsed. I think it is System PreferencesEnergy SaverTurn display off after that is causing this. I set it to one minute, and that's about the time VO stops reading. It's interesting that this doesn't happen on your system. Maybe it is application specific; I'm testing this in Safari. I'll have to test in other apps and see if the problem persists; in the mean time I guess I'll have to keep my screen on indefinitely, or at least for quite a bit longer.

Re: Remapping keys with VM fusion
Hi, Following discussion in this thread, I have done the following with mine. Firstly, I stopped using Sharp Keys, and remaped all my keys through Fusion itself, using the grave key as have many others. I did remap command to alt and option to Windows in the end, and also mapped option-tab to alt-tab. I then set up an activity for Fusion which turns off my keyboard commander, which I normally use, but I left the Mac shortcuts enabled. If I want to quickly skip to a specific Mac app, I use f12, the key I set for Launchpad in System Preferences, type a couple of characters and hit return when it realises what I want. OK, switching apps is slightly trickier than before, but I can still do it quickly, and it does give me a pretty native feeling Windows. I use NVDA too, but I can't, for the life of me, think what Jaws keys people could be having a problem with.

That would be a problem within the global key Settings of fusion. If you look around in those settings, and truly understand what how they work, then you should be able to clear that up without any difficulty. Don't give up on fusion just yet. Once you get it working you'll be glad you stuck with it. I wish I could help you more but I just can't.

Is there anyone who has found a solution for Fusion that allows *all* the JAWS keys to be sent to JAWS and not captured by OS X? Sure, you can use Capslock + T to read the windows title. However, I cannot use many of the keys on the right side of the keyboard in conjunction with capslock to perform many JAWS functions essential for full JAWS usability. I need full access to JAWS with Fusion or none at all at this point. I really really hate to resort to Bootcamp because the attractiveness of using the Mac hinges upon use of a virtual machine for Windows for me. I need both and full access to both with the Macbook Air keyboard. I do not want to have to connect an external keyboard each time I need to use Windows. Does anyone have any suggestions?

I use this to turn my capslock key on the Mac into VO keys and on the virtual machine it turns my caps lock into a insert key for PC screen readers. Just another option to consider.

Safari and pop up buttons
Hi folks, I've noticed lately that Safari isn't handling pop up buttons well sometimes. Last night, I couldn't change the currency type on the Paypal site. Can somebody else confirm they're having this issue too on that site? I focus on the currency button pop up button. I press vo-space to try to activate the pop up menu to change it to another type of currency, but nothing happens. I've tried interacting, mouse clicking and routing the mouse cursor there. VO says it can't focus the mouse to that area. Maybe it's something peculiar to my system, but would love to know if anybody else is having problems with Safari and some pop up menus like the one on the paypal site. Thanks.

Qcast
Hi. I recently tried to download the Qcast application from www.getaccessibleapps.com. I was able to open the disk image file and copy the application to my applications folder. However when I tried to open the application I got a message saying the application could not be opened because it was damaged and that I should move it to the trash. I have never had this message before. Has anybody else recently tried to download this file and if so have you had the same problem? I am waiting to hear back from the developers but thought I would post to the list in case anyone has any ideas on how to get this to work.

Re: Qcast
Do just that - move the app to the trash, then eject the dmg file (it will appear in your drive list, cmd-shift-c in Finder), then delete the original file from your downloads. Try downloading it again - you may have gotten a corrupt download for some reason. This may not help, but then again it may.

Re: eSpeak on the mac
I tried downloading the OSX version of eSpeak but wasn't able to get very far with it. Of course I've never used the tool before. I downloaded it from here: http://espeak.sourceforge.net/download.html but when I typed ./speak The quick brown fox it gave the error: Can't read data file: '/usr/share/espeak-data/phontab' I didn't have time to fiddle much more and figure out what files were supposed to live in that path.

As a long-time user of both Windows and the mac, I keep wondering why eSpeak hasn't been ported to work with voiceover and the mac speech API. If Eloquence can be ported, why on earth can't eSpeak, being open source and a native linux program, be ported? Is Eloquence just that good, and mac users so into windows that Eloquence, a native windows app, just has to b ported, in a rather weird form with only one voice and a few weird bugs, rather than eSpeak, with its many languages, amazing pronounciation and configurability? And I don't want just a type text and push that there play button and hear it talk little toy app. I want it to be selectable in the VO speech pane of the utility, as a system voice, and usable in the say fuction of the terminal. Is that really, really too much to ask for of an open source program? If so, then open source is just as unreliable as regular freeware. -- Sent from Thunderbird using iCloud -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups MacVisionaries group.

Various language-dependent files should be in that directory. I would suggest checking the Web site or the file that you downloaded for installation instructions. My guess is that it expects the Espeak executable to be under /usr/bin, and the language files under /usr/share/espeak. The standard UNIX convention, though, would place the executable in /usr/local/bin and the data files under /usr/local/share/espeak -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups MacVisionaries group.
