situation regarding Skype for mac

[aliFaisal]

Hello everyone,
I noticed that Skype got upgraded on my mac to the latest version, despite me 
having the checkbox unchecked to update automatically. It is now super laggy, 
and I cannot make heads or tails of it. Has anyone either found a workaround 
for this latest and super slow Skype. If not, is there anything we can do to 
make it work with voiceover?

Are they still using a patched version of GNU Screen for this on the Mac, or is 
there a better solution now? I’m on the BRLTTY list, so I could certainly ask 
there too.

Re: VMware fusion question

[Jonathan Cohn]

I am not sure about this as I have never created a VM myself, but your system 
is complaining about a disk type not being supported. To the best of my 
knowledge all of the disks available to an OS are simulated ones that VM  is 
created. Perhaps, one needs to create a Windows 10 VM sand indicate that it 
should use a copy of the Virtual disk used by your Windows 7 system?

I am fairly sure somebody asked about upgrading a VM from Win7 to Win10 before 
on this list.

Best Wishes,

A review of Aira. What it is, how it works, and the ways it has changed my life, Mosen Consulting

[M. Taylor]

Hello Everyone,  

I am posting the following article because it references an iOS app.

Mark

A review of Aira. What it is, how it works, and the ways it has changed my
life
by Jonathan Mosen, Posted on 03/04/2018

Introduction
Recently, I was pleased to attend the CSUN assistive technology conference.
I've had the privilege of going to 10 of these before, but it has been a few
years since I was there last.
When you're involved with an industry, you tend to watch developments so
closely that changes usually seem incremental. But occasionally, something
new comes along that is so game changing, it stops you in your tracks. For
me, San Diego-based Aira is one such technology. I am late to this party.
Aira has been rolling out for some time in the United States. And indeed, we
covered Aira in an edition of The Blind Side Podcast last year. But since
mentioning my Aira experience to people via outlet such as my Internet radio
show, The Mosen Explosion, I've learned that not everyone yet fully
understands what the service is or how it works. For those not familiar with
Aira, or who would like to read someone else's impressions of it, read on.
What is Aira
According to the company's website,
Aira is today's fastest growing assistive community. One tap of a button
instantly connects you with a sighted professional agent who delivers visual
assistance anytime and anywhere.
Here's what that means in practice. At present, Aira is a smart phone app,
available for iOS and Android. Since Aira is a service for blind people,
it's no surprise that the app is exemplary in terms of its accessibility.
And in iOS, it even sports Siri integration.
Using the app, you can connect via video, much like a FaceTime call, with
agents who can provide you with visual information. Audio quality is
excellent, far clearer than a standard cell phone connection. Essentially,
an Aira agent can tell you anything at all that a pair of functioning eyes
can see, plus perform a range of tasks pertaining to that information.
You can acquire the visual information using your smart phone's camera, or,
when you become a subscriber to the Aira service (Aira calls its customers
"explorers") you receive a pair of smart glasses. These are included as part
of your subscription, so there's no hardware cost upfront.
The service is available officially in the United States at present, where
Aira has an arrangement with AT Aira explorers receive an AT MiFi
device, allowing them to use the service on the go without the data consumed
by the video connection eating up a customer's own cellular plan. If you
have a cellular plan equipped with the personal hotspot feature, you are
free to pair your Aira glasses with your phone using that method. For those
with large data plans, this may be attractive because there is one less
device to keep track of, carry, and charge. The downside, other than the
data consumption, is that a video connection to Aira for a long time may
cause significant battery drain on your smart phone.
When you're at home, work, or anywhere that Wi-Fi is available that doesn't
require web-based authentication, you can pair your Aira glasses to that
network. As far as I have been able to ascertain, 5 GHZ Wi-Fi isn't
supported at present.
Because of the need for high quality video, the glasses pair via Wi-Fi, and
not Bluetooth. The glasses are associated with your Aira account. This is
useful if, like in Bonnie's and my house, you're sharing your minutes as a
couple. More on that later.
The upshot of all of this is that for 18 hours of every day, professional,
well-trained sighted assistance is just a few taps or a Siri command away.
Describing it like this makes it sound kind of cool. But I want to explain
the impact that Aira has had on our lives in the brief time we have had it,
to illustrate that, at least for some of us, this technology is more than
just pretty cool, it's life-changing.
My first Aira experience
If you've been reading this blog or listening to The Blind Side Podcast over
the years, you will know that in recent times I have come out as having a
hearing impairment. I love going to these big conferences because I get to
catch up with old friends and make new ones, as well as see the latest and
greatest technology. I hate going to these big conferences because often, I
find myself in difficult audio environments. It can be very noisy. Hotel
lobbies and restaurants are often exceedingly crowded, with high ceilings
causing noise to bounce everywhere. The environment is difficult and tiring,
but I keep going and doing the best I can, because the alternative is to sit
at home and rust away, and I'm certainly not going to do that.
One smart thing that Aira has done is to start rolling out a concept called
"site access". With appropriate sponsorship, or perhaps at times where there
will be many potential customers in one place, Aira can enable free access
to a location or even the entire city through their smart city project.

Re: VMware fusion question

[Nickus de Vos]

Hi Paul
Yes I’m running Windows 10 on a 2015 Macbook Pro with 256 GB SSD without any 
issues.

I’m not sure of the exact version because I’m not currently at my machine, but 
I’m running the latest version of Fusion and also updated my Mac OS to the 
latest 10.13.4 just yesterday.

Are you trying a fresh Win10 installation or did you try to update your Windows 
7 to Windows 10?

Also, did you try Google the issue? In the past I found with Fusion it helps to 
Google the issue, if it’s something common then you’ll get taken directly to a 
discussion on the VMWhere forums or other forums.

VMware fusion question

[Paul Hopewell]

Hello, 
 Maybe off topic but I have found no help elsewhere andThe VMware support web 
site is  particularly unhelpful using VoiceOver.

I am running fusion 10.1.1 on Mac OS 10.13.4 on a new iMac  with a 256 GB SSD. 
All worked fine for Windows 7 64 bit but when upgrading to Windows 10 I get an 
error message saying that my SCSI hard disk is not supported by Windows 10.

Are any of you successfully running Windows 10 under fusion on a Mac with SSD?

Many thanks.

Re: Word Processing on the mac

[James]

There is also:

https://cs.sharelatex.com/learn

You are probably aware of this, but LaTeX is not a word processor in the 
Pages or Nisus Writer Pro sense of the term. It is not a case of CMD + B 
and your text will be bold etc.


I am more than happy to help offlist if that would be useful. Have you 
also considered Markdown or one of its variations?


Best wishes

James

Re: difficulties working with attachments

[Jonathan Cohn]

Sorry, not running with HS here at work, but with EC but there is a menu 
available either right after the DELETE / REPLY / Reply All / Forward or else 
as the very last item in the Header section of the e-mail message. It is a 
button menu with the name as the number of attachments in the mail message.

Also, at least in 10.3 and earlier, attached documents that are in mail 
messages were stored in ~/Library/Mail Downloads  now when I look through 
~/Library/Mail/v3  there is a folder for each mail account with a 
folderName.mobx folder under that folder and then a folder with each message 
inside of that which does have downloaded attachments in it. Though I would 
expect that only pdf and inline graphics would be in that folder by default and 
that other attachments might be only stored on the server until requested. 
Again, I am viewing on my El Capitan system so some information might have 
changed.

Re: difficulties working with attachments

[Tim Kilburn]

Hi,

On occasion, I've had the Mail app not bring up the Save dialog right away.  In 
some cases, I believe that it was just a VO focus thing, and in other cases, I 
just had to repeat the request.  That is, if it was a focus thing, cmd-tab out 
of Mail then cmd-tab back in and the dialog should be present, or simply repeat 
the File menu and Save Attachment request and the dialog should appear.  
Alternatively, the newest iteration of Mail is awkward when navigating through 
some messages.  Either use QuickNav or arrows without the VO keys until you 
locate the attachment.  Once located, you can then press VO-space and the 
proper menu may appear.  As Alex mentioned, if you are getting the menu choices 
you outlined, then VO focus is not on the proper item in the message area.

Later...

Re: difficulties working with attachments

Hi Alex,
Thank you for your response. However, accessing the save attachments from the 
menu does not bring  up a   dialogue box asking me where to save it. When I 
select that option, the menu disappears and I am brought back to my message in 
focus.

Re: Contacts on iPhone se

[Jonathan Cohn]

Hello,

There is a bit of an easier way if you trust your computer… Open Contacts app 
on the Macintosh and then in the “Card” menu there is an item to “Look for 
Duplicates”. The other thing you can do on the Macintosh is select multiple 
entries in the list of contacts and then select Merge selected cards. I have 
often found this to be effective, and if there are cards that Mail can’t fully 
merge it might add items to the notes field so that data is not completely 
lost. 

HTH,

Jonathan

Re: difficulties working with attachments

[Alex Hall]

It sounds like VO isn't focused on the attachment. Also, remember that 
attachments may not appear at the end of messages. Some mail clients, including 
the default ones on macOS and iOS, will embed attachments wherever the author 
wants them.

Because of this, and because of the focus you're running into, I tend to use 
the file menu instead. If you go to that menu while on a message, there's an 
option to save attachments. Select this, choose a folder as you would for 
saving a file in any other app, and you're done. This menu item has no keyboard 
shortcut, but you can assign one if you want to.

difficulties working with attachments

[aliFaisal]

Hello everyone,
I am having  lot of issues being able to open or save attachments on the latest 
build of hi sera. Normally what I’ve been doing is going to the bottom of the 
message, option ctrl m on the attachment and it will allow me to open or save 
it that way. However, lately, the only options I am seeing when manipulating 
attachments is copy and speech sub menu. There does not appear to be a way for 
me to open or save it.
Am I missing anything?,
