Is that right, the Amazon app for a Mac is not accessible?  I have the 
Amazon app on my iPhone and it's quite accessible!

Using Braille Embosser with a Mini Mac

2014-12-28 Thread Bill Gallik

A friend has a list of commands listed in a text file and would like to 
print them out on her Braille embosser; she had been using the embosser on a 
Windows laptop with Ducksberry but that's no longer available for her.


What does she need to be able to use her Braille embosser to produce a sheet 
with the desired information?


I'm presuming she'll need to install a driver for the embosser and load some 
sort of Braille Translation software so she can do this.  As far as 
installing the driver I'm well versed in that sort of thing.  But, since I'm 
not able to read Braille (effectively) I do not personally own an embosser 
so have no idea what sort of Braille Translation software might be out there 
for Macs.  Would someone, anyone, please advise?


Thanks Much!

Re: how to calculate several cells in a row

2014-12-28 Thread Bill Gallik

I can't speak with any certainty if white space cannot be interspersed on a 
Mac system, but it makes no difference in Excel on Windows.  In short, the 
expressions:


   SUM(A1:F1)
   SUM ( A1 : F1 )

are equivalent and syntactically correct (the second sample has spaces 
interspersed throughout).


Merry Christmas  Happy New Year to You and Yours
Holland and Bill
- Scrooge, witnessing the Cratchet family Christmas celebration, begins an 
exchange with the Spirit of Christmas Present:
- `Spirit,' said Scrooge, with an interest he had never felt before, `tell 
me if Tiny Tim will live.'
`I see a vacant seat,' replied the Ghost, `in the poor chimney-corner, and a 
crutch without an owner, carefully preserved. If these shadows remain 
unaltered by the Future, the child will die.'

`No, no,' said Scrooge. `Oh, no, kind Spirit. say he will be spared.'
`If these shadows remain unaltered by the Future, none other of my race,' 
returned the Ghost, `will find him here. What then. If he be like to die, he 
had better do it, and decrease the surplus population.'
Scrooge hung his head to hear his own words quoted by the Spirit, and was 
overcome with penitence and grief.

RadioLogicDJ Accessibility Question

2015-01-02 Thread Bill Gallik

There has been some discussion in this list about RadioLogicDJ, I have some 
questions concerning this program:


1)  Can a totally blind person work effectively with this program?
2)  Are there provisions within the program for streaming or is it necessary 
to use NiceCast?
3)  Is the feature set of this program equivalent to Station Playlist Studio 
for Windows?

Re: Making ringtones

2015-02-07 Thread Bill Gallik

I'm answering this from the perspective of an iPhone user so if I'm all wet 
with this, please pardon me.

I use an app named Ringmaker Pro and it's only $1.99 -- well, certainly not 
almost $10 for sure.  What I consider the major drawback to the RingMaker Pro 
app is that you are limited to 1 second increments.  There are times this 
limitation will cause to reconsider what segment of a song you cut for a 
ringtone.

Let me try to be more clear here.  Imagine you want a segment of a song, but 
the part you want to cut is a hair after the 37th second and a tidbit before 
the 38th second; there are no hundredths or tenths of a segment in RingMaker 
Pro and that might sound very trivial, but it might cause you to reconsider 
what part of a song you cut for a ringtone.

RingMaker Pro has the following features:

- Can set starting point (in seconds increments) of cut
- Can set length (in seconds) of cut up to 40 seconds
- Can specify Fade In/Fade Out

both from the main site and the access site even though I never actually 
use the access site. Both with Audible and Amazon, I much prefer to use 
the main site. So I'm a little puzzled as to how one person could see a 
captcha while another doesn't. You do have to sign in with your username 
and password and you do have to enter the claim code. You even can get 
around reading a claim code by having people email your gift cards 
instead of sending them by snail mail or giving them to you when the 
person involved uses email. It's not that i'm doubting your statement 
that there was a captcha; I personally simply don't see any request for 
one and never have in my own experience. Maybe they have started doing it 
for some accounts and others will follow though that doesn't totally make 
sense to me either.


Secondly, some other form of security besides username and password in 
some instances is not, in my opinion, overkill. At least from what I know 
about passwords being stolen or hacked, i don't think it's overkill. We 
can argue about whether that other form should be captcha r not and we 
can argue about whether or not there should be an accessible alternative 
and what that alternative should be, but i don't really think we can 
argue that something in addition to username and password is overkill, at 
least in some situations.


It is true that Amazon does require captchas in some instances; I rarely 
run into this on Amazon but I think when you set up an account and 
perhaps when you change your password you might have to enter a captcha, 
but I'm not going to change mine just to test this out. There may be some 
other instances.

Hi,

No, that shouldn’t affect anything.  I have multiple devices accessing my 
iCloud account simultaneously both at home and at work.  I also have a gMail 
account through Google App, a Pop account through my ISP, and two other iMap 
accounts for other duties all configured through Mail with no busy problems 
at all.  What kind of router are you using?  Are you connected via WiFi or 
ethernet?

Hi,

I haven’t heard of many experiencing this, so, I’m guessing that it has 
something to do with your personal configuration or situation.  That machine 
is plenty powerful enough to handle the job.  Some questions to determine 
what may be causing the issues:


1.  What Mail view do you use?  Modern or Classic?
2.  Do you have multiple Mail accounts?  i.e.., gMail, iCloud, local ISP?
3.  What protocol do your accounts use?  iMap, Pop, Exchange?
4.  Is your Preview pane enabled or disabled?
5.  Which navigation method do you normally use?  That is, navigate to 
message then VO-j to read it or navigate to the message then hit return to 
read it?


• If you have multiple accounts, try disabling all but one of them.  Does 
the busy tendency go away?  If so, turn on other accounts one at a time to 
try to determine which account may be causing the problem.  You disable 
accounts in Mail Prefs, in the Accounts pane.  Select the accounts from the 
Accounts table, then uncheck the “Enable this Account” checkbox.


• If your Preview pane is enabled, try disabling it to see if that makes a 
difference.

Action Completed Sound Effect in iTunes

2015-03-04 Thread Bill Gallik

I've been helping a friend add songs to a playlist but something seems to be 
askew on her Mac Mini.  I've been coaching her in using the Search Music 
Library for songs she wants to add to her specific playlist; when she 
selects the desired song from the resulting list she is placed into her 
quite extensive music library (over 23,000 items) on the line for that 
song -- so far, so good -- she then interacts with the My Music table, 
opens the context menu, selects the Add To Playlist menu item and moves 
into the ensuing sub-menu and selects the specific playlist.  Here's the 
issue; when I do this, I get a pleasant sound effect confirming that when I 
press RETURN the song has indeed been added to my desired playlist -- she 
does not.


I had her open the VoiceOver Utility, select the Sounds Category and make 
certain the Mute Sound Effects checkbox is not checked.  It was not so I 
advised her to check and uncheck it just in case something was awry in the 
configuration data schemes -- this did not help.


I've since opened the System Preferences dialogs for iTunes hoping to find 
some type of setting that might silence that Added To Playlist 
confirmation sound effect but I've had no success.


Can anybody offer some suggestions or thoughts as to why the confirmation 
sound effect for successfully adding an item to a playlist is functioning on 
my Mac Mini and not on hers?  We both have 2.6 GB Mac Minis running 
Yosemite.


There just has to be some setting that I have enabled or she has disabled, 
other sound effects are working on her Mac.

Mac Mini in Trouble

2015-02-22 Thread Bill Gallik


Help!!!

My new Mac Mini seems to be totally messed up.

When I try to boot, I hear nothing.  Absolutely nothing.

Then, after executing a PROPTIONCOMMAND while pressing the power 
button to reboot, the start-up chord plays -- again, again, again and again.


Can anybody offer any suggestions (other than taking my Mac in for repair). 
At this point, my plan is to get it in to an Apple Hospital to get well, 
but if I can avoid that I would certainly would prefer that.

Did you press command F5 to start voice over?

When I got my new Macmini late last year, I chose the wrong language and 
it took a while to get it to speak English.


When you turn your Mac mini on for the first time, you should should press

Hi There,

I’ve been using deejay since the first installment and had been in
communication with algoriddim to make the app accessible.

Considering that deejay is mainly keyboard based, it is in some ways more
fun to use midi devices such as digital platters, mixers and mini
controllers to make the experience conform to a deejay experience.

I would start with a layout of the main features of deejay such as
switching from library to effects, sampler to actual jogwheel
manipulation. However, I think the sampler is not yet accessible. Correct
me if I’m wrong.

Cheers,

Confused with DropBox on Mac Mini

2015-04-14 Thread Bill Gallik

I’ve been trying to set up a DropBox shared folder between my PC, Mac Mini, 
both my iPhones and a friend’s Mac Mini.  There hasn’t been any problems 
between the PC and my iPhones, but I can’t seem to locate files in the shared 
folder from my Mac nor my friend’s Mac.

I seem to be able to locate the files in the shared folder via Safari links, 
but those files do not show up when using Finder on the Mac.

Suggestions, please!!!

Re: Interact with text

2015-04-02 Thread Bill Gallik

There is a Custom button in the Verbosity category, but remember that if you 
adjust the Interact with Text to remain silent in the mail client the effect 
will carry over in to all other apps as well.

  Hi Daniel.
  Well, no matter if you set your verbosity to low, medium or high, you're 
going to hear at least the subject of the email message when you press enter.
  I have never used VO J for reading emails.
  I also don't believe there is a way of turning this off in verbosity at all. 
Interact with text does not only apply to the mail application.

Hi Matthew, well when I press enter I find that I get more text spoken than

To provide an example below on a previous message.

Now in Re: Get a Scanner to work in a different O.S. Was: Re: Abby Finer 
Reading. Was: Re: Reading PDF files on the mac — Macvisionaries window text 

So, after hearing that all above, I'd rather hear just interact with text.

If you know what I mean. Of course, if you know of any ways where I don't 
hear such extraneous speech when pressing enter on a message then, please feel 
free to let me know.

I hope this makes sense

Hi all, this might sound sort of weird to say but is there any chance 
of getting VO to stop saying interact with text. when you jump to and from 
the text area of a message using mail?

I was wondering if this could possibly be done through the VO utility, 
speech and Pronunciation tab. 

The goal of this is to reduce verbosity of speech from Voiceover. If it 
can't be done then don't worry that's fine but it would be cool if its possible 
because it could mean getting through messages that bit faster.

Re: How to view email messages individually on the Mac.

2015-05-22 Thread Bill Gallik

Hi all;

If I may, I’d like to offer another solution presented in this thread.

As some of you may know, the first column in the “Messages Table” is a 
“Disclosure Triangle.”  If you focus on that field in any given line, selecting 
the right arrow () will expand the thread so each message in the line appears 
as a “stand alone” message — still sorted according to the conversation 
parameter.  The one problem here is that I don’t know of any way to recognize 
an “unopened thread” as such.  But if you suspect a mubject to be one of a 
number of messages in a thread, selecting “” in the “Disclosure Triangle” will 
expand that particular thread.

Conversely, should you choose to delete an entire thread in one fell swoop, 
simply use the ““ character on the Disclosure Triangle” to contract all 
messages in that into a single entry in the table and then COMMAND+DELETE 
will get that job done.

Excuse me, but I made an error in my prior message on this thread.

Rather than using the “” and ““ characters on a “Disclosure Triangle,” use 
the COMMAND+OPTION+SPACE to toggle a thread between expanded and collapsed.

My apologies for any inconvenience my initial post may have caused!

Anti-Virus et al for Mac

I’m interested in acquiring “protection” for my Mac Mini; this includes anti 
virus and ad monitoring components.  As per usual for a group focussing on 
concerns for those who either see poorly or not at all, I require such software 
that will lend itself to the screen reading environment as well as provide 
sound protection.  Does anybody on this list have any recommendations?

Curious About Checkbook/Checkbook Pro

2015-10-29 Thread Bill Gallik

I’ve been looking for an OSX app that is generally similar to the Windows 
“Talking Checkbook” and have found “Checkbook” and “Checkbook Pro” so far.  
After reading the descriptions for these apps that the “Pro” version is 
probably more than I need.  I do have several questions about both or either 
versions:

- Is anyone out here a user of either version?
- Are these apps effectively developed to work with VoiceOver?
- Is customer support genuinely responsive to the requirements of blind 
customers?

El Capitan - Upgrade or Clean Install

2015-11-12 Thread Bill Gallik

I’ve been keeping my mind open to various discussions concerning installation 
of El Capitan and do have a question that may initiate additional such 
discussion.  I wonder if installing El Capitan as an upgrade or as a “clean 
install” might prove the better approach!

And then, there’s the question as how to perform a “clean install?"

If this is the case, is the suggested solution still feasible? Just thinking

Thankfully, I did install the free version. Hopefully, someone can advise me of 
a far more suitable app for my purposes.

I should add that I do not require the ability to print checks from this app as 
I will be using the app primarily as an online check register.  But if anybody 
can suggest a program that could additionally print to standard checks, I would 
certainly be receptive!

Re: Apple car, anyone?

2015-09-18 Thread Bill Gallik

This thread regarding ACV’s begs the question; when will the “Star Trek” 
transporters be available?  Just think, sitting in a cafe in New York City 
discussing the Yankees prospects and in the blink of an eye being transported 
to the ticket line in California in time to take in an afternoon game against 
the Angels!

The question is then, would the “reconstructed you” really be you or only a 
clone?

Personally, I find the prospect of a safely self-driving vehicle quite inviting!

Using LOGITECH Headset for Face Time

2015-09-18 Thread Bill Gallik

I’m using a LogiTech USB headset on my Mac mini; this headset has a mike boom.  
When I attempt to make a Face Time phone call the person to  whom I’m talking 
comes through the internal speaker, how do I direct Face Time to direct 
conversation exclusively through the headset - input and output alike?

Peculiar Scenario Playing Out in Mail

2015-11-22 Thread Bill Gallik

‘ve been encountering what I consider peculiar behavior in the standard e-mail 
app.  Here is what seems to be happening:

1) Interact with Message Table
2) Place focus in “Subject” column
3) VO+LeftArrow to identify if on a multi-item thread
4) VO+RightArrwo back to Subject column
5) RightArrow to expand multi-item thread
6) DownArrow to first item in current thread
7) Hit ENTER to read that item
8) COMMAND+DELETE to, what else, delete currently opened item
9) Repeat steps 7 and 8 until thread is exhausted

So far, so good; but quite often, after exhausting the thread, I find that 
Table Interaction has been cancelled and I must repeat the VO+SHIFT+DownArrow 
to resume interacting with Message Table.

It seems this has also happened while not in a thread but rather after reading 
and deleting a number of “stand alone” messages.  It’s just that this 
phenomenon is so consistently reproducable given the thread scenario above.

I’m using a 2.6 GHz Mac mini with OSX 10.10.5 (Yosemite).

I can’t add much more to this other than to say that I am a relative new comer 
to Mac computing having bought this Mac mini from last February.

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

What To Do About Constant "Mail Busy"

I am still using Yosemite on a Mac Mini; one annoyance that manifests far too 
frequently is the “Mail Busy” message.  I find that I can disable VoiceOver and 
re-enable Voiceover and that resolves the issue quite effectively.  But this is 
a “pain in the gluteus maxim us.” Does anybody have any advice?

Re: Apple leaves IOS kernel unencrypted in most recent release

2016-06-22 Thread Bill Gallik

Of course, I’m only speculating but I suspect Apple did not strip the 
executable which would render that software much more vulnerable to “reverse 
engineering.”  That seems to me to be very intentional!

Re: VoiceOver Turning Off in Inn Box

2016-02-24 Thread Bill Gallik

A couple of thoughts concerning this problem.

First, I assume you executed a + several times while in mail to 
ascertain if toggling VO on/off was enabled.

Second, I wonder if a problem I’m having in mail is not directly related to 
your problem. Very, very often I find that - when cycling through open apps — 
settling in mail consistently reports “mail busy.” I find it necessary to 
toggle VO off and on again.  The “mail busy” typically goes away upon 
reactivating VO.

Documentation of VO Voices

2016-02-29 Thread Bill Gallik

All,

Can anyone advise me as to whether or not there is any documentation explaining 
what is the scope of any Voice Over category (i.e., Status is obvious but 
others are not quite).

Some time ago I posted to the list concerning a problem with unspoken “T” when 
composing an e-mail message.  A kind soul advised me to change the voice, but I 
wasn’t sure just which voice category to change.  Several minutes ago I changed 
the “Content Category” from Samantha Compact to Tom and, sure enough, typing a 
“T” is now clearly announced.

Thanks to that kind soul!

Re: Apple's headphone scam

2016-01-20 Thread Bill Gallik

I have to wonder if Apple is really planning on changing the headphone jack.  I 
also wonder if the eventual iPhone 7 will come complete with the necessary 
audio jack adapter included?

But the bottom line to me is  this, if Apple does incorporate an alternative 
connection to the current jack do people truly believe it is only to pry 
additional dollars from the pockets of a remarkably loyal customer base?  Or, 
as I personally believe to be the case, to provide a technically superior 
feature?

I have no reason nor evidence to believe that Apple is foolish enough to make a 
technical alteration solely for the purpose of forcing loyal customers to be 
required to part with additional monies.  For my money, if Apple alters the 
headphone jack I audio believe they are doing to offer an improved experience.  
I recall when the 35 MM jack was introduced several decades ago, the proponents 
of the formerly preponderant quarter inch jack likewise protested (although not 
quite so loudly).  For my money, I’ll patiently wait to see what Apple has 
indeed done and pass judgment after experiencing what most likely be an 
improvement.

Web Page Form Fields Constantly Dimmed

2016-02-16 Thread Bill Gallik

Good Tuesday Morning,

I’ve run into an issue on the BMO-Harris “Bill Pay” page; the problem is that 
when I attempt to use the “Pay A Single Bill” scenario several of the required 
fields (date, amount) remain dimmed no matter what I try to do to remedy the 
situation.  Other fields (payee, paying account, category) are readily accessed.

A friend has told me that although VO is reading the field labels the focus is 
not truly on the given field.  Does anybody have a solution for this anomaly?

Silent "T" in Yosemite

2016-02-17 Thread Bill Gallik

Good Evening to All on the Macvionaries List

I’m not at all certain what changes I may have made, but when typing on my Mac 
Mini neither the lower nor upper case “T” is spoken.  I’m certain this is a 
relatively recent development because I’m sure I’d have noticed it much earlier 
than just last week.

Does anyone have any thoughts on this?

Kindly “Thank You” to anyone offering suggestions!

Re: Record your iPad or iPhone screen

2016-02-18 Thread Bill Gallik

Just thought I’d pass along a tip when recording from an iOS device that a few 
may not be aware of and could benefit.

When locating the item you want recorded (a song, a screen, or whatever) turn 
speech off (3-finger double tap) but leave VoiceOver enabled.  What this does 
is retain the focus on the activation button — as this is a wonderful feature 
of VO -  and will allow one to activate that button with the normal double tap 
while not bringing along the VO verbalization.

Hope this helps somebody!

Re: Any comments on Apple's position against unreasonable search

2016-02-19 Thread Bill Gallik

A much wiser man than myself is quoted as saying, “A society that is willing to 
surrender privacy for the sake of security shall have neither.”

I completely support the position Tim Cook and Apple has taken in this matter.

The real question in this matter should be - why isn’t our government willing 
to take the steps to bring the individuals driving this mad terrorism to 
justice?  I’m sure western governments are quietly taking measures to make 
those persons accountable, but I believe we need a number more of Bin Laden 
like operations to “help” those folks understand the errors of their ways.  And 
more importantly, that the United States will not tolerate this insanity!

Checkbook Pro Inexplicably Crashing

I’m not at all sure what could possibly have happened to Checkbook Pro on my 
Mac mini, but the last time I used it all seemed well and I did shut down 
appropriately.  But when I tried opening it earlier this morning I got a crash

Re: Checkbook/Checkbook Pro

2016-03-21 Thread Bill Gallik

I can’t really say how Splasm is going to design the check printing feature, 
but I seriously doubt they would implement it in such a way as to allow users 
to completely print a check on a blank sheet of paper.  This is because the 
routing, account and whatever that third number is called is printed via 
magnetic ink for automation.  I suppose one could purchase a printer that would 
include magnetic ink, but I presume that would be a prohibitively expensive 
purchase; one that most of us could not afford.

The usual process for printing checks via computer software requires the 
purchase of checks referred to as “Quick Books-like” stock.  These are letter 
sized sheets incorporating a blank check at the top with perforations to permit 
ready detachment from the bottom two thirds of the “check sheet.”

If it were up to me, I might propose a check printing design that would include 
an option to use “standard checks” to be printed on a photo printer or some 
such printer that could appropriately handle stock as small as a standard check.

As much as I would like to be able to answer your question I cannot.  At

How to Route Calls Through Headphones

2016-04-30 Thread Bill Gallik

Good Morning All,

I have a Mac mini equipped with USB headphones and have my iPhone configured so 
I can receive calls through the Mac.  The problem I am trying to resolve is 
that when I take (or initiate I presume) calls the incoming conversation is 
routed through the Mac internal speaker.  Well, I should add that I also have 
external speakers plugged into the audio jack on the Mac so incoming 
conversation is not truly routed through the internal speaker, but rather 
through the external speakers.

Naturally, I’d prefer that incoming conversation route through the USB 
headphones, how do I accomplish this?

Re: phones in your pants pocket

Hey Gang,

I did not get the impression anybody was suggesting that this thread is “Off 
Topic” for the MacVisionaries list.  I got the impression the comment was being 
made so those of us who do read some of our e-mail via a Mac would have that 
understanding - that the message had been initiated on the MacVisionaries list 
and not the viPhone list.

So far as I’m concerned that was simply a courtesy “heads up” notice and in no 
way meant to call anyone at all on the carpet!

Re: Two Devices On The Same Apple Id Questions

2016-07-03 Thread Bill Gallik

To answer your e-mail concern; the answer is that you can indeed direct each 
device to interact with only one of the accounts set up per device.  On the 
iPhone, it’s simply a matter of deactivating the account you do not want that 
device accessing.  I haven’t looked at the e-mail settings on my Mac Mini since 
I turned off my Charter account but I do know I am not getting e-mail on the 
Mac from that account even though the account has been fully configured.

Missing Something with DropBox on Mac

I’ve had a problem with using DropBox on my Mac Mini.  It seems that whenever I 
browse the Finder SideBar and land on the DropBox folder this terribly 
inaccessible DropBox app is launched rather than letting me open the DropBox 
folder and continue browsing.

Can anybody offer some advice? I’d prefer to use the DropBox folder like any 
other folder on the system.

Thanks!

2017-02-02 Thread Bill Gallik

I’m trying to send an invitation to a friend to share a DropBox folder in my 
folder structure but can’t figure out how to do this. Can anybody help?

I should add that on my Windows PC the menu includes a “Share” option, but 
because my Windows software is so out-dated DropBox will not allow me to do 
that.  My only real option is to send the invite from my Mac Mini.

My sincerest “Thank You” to Andrew, Des and Ramy; I went to the Mosen web site 
and purchased the tutorial by Ann and Archie Robertson and find myself immersed 
in this extremely well written document. Your suggestions and supporting 
testimonial motivated me to get the tutorial and I thank all of you profusely!

Re: How Do I Send An Invitation to Share A DropBox Folder

2017-02-03 Thread Bill Gallik

To both Helga and ET; a very sincere “Thank You” for the suggestions.  What I’m 
having trouble understanding is that I did try using the iOS app to share the 
desired folder and when I tried ET’s suggestion it looked very similar to the 
link sent via the iOS app.  I’m beginning to wonder if the recipient is not 
exercising the sent link properly.

And, in fact, when I opened the context menu (VO+SHIFT-M) there was also a 
“Share” option which I did try to use.  The e-mail message that resulted 
appeared to have only an image named for the folder I have been trying to share!

But, to both of you, thank you so very much for your suggestions!

Looking for High Quality PDF App

Pardon me for asking this question once again, but this old brain doesn’t 
remember as well as it once did; I’m looking for a high quality PDF app for my 
Mac Mini and cannot recall the several that were recommended in my last

Re: Imessage strangeness.

It used to be the case with my AT service (that the Contact needed to 
identify “iPhone” rather than simply “Mobile”), but I’ve noticed over the past 
year or so the system seems to identify iPhone addressees whether or not I’ve 
identified their mobile phone as an iPhone or not.  I’m certain this is only 
the case if messaging to another AT iPhone customer.  Just thought this may 
prove useful.

Re: Setting Up Document Scanning with Epson XP 420 All-in-One

Thanks for the advice.  The last time I installed an “All-In-One” 
printer/copier/scanner it was on my Vista PC; I have ABBY Fine Reader 6 
installed on that PC.  I guess I’ll have to get some sort of OCR software for 
this Mac Mini if I hope to convert scanned documents into any sort of 
text-based files.
Thanks again!

FineReader OCR Pro vs. OCR Kit

2017-02-13 Thread Bill Gallik

I’m looking to install an OCR package on my Mac Mini to facilitate scanning 
paper documents and photocopy generated PDFs.  In searching in the MacOS store 
for “FineReader” I got two results.  The first is “FineReader OCR Pro” 
($119.95) and “OCR Kit” ($35.95); my question to this list is this; is the 
first worth almost $85.00 more than the second?

Have any of you had experience with Finereader OCR Pro or OCR Kit?

Has anybody had experience with both?

Or, possibly, there are yet other OCR packages that my search didn’t render; 
other packages that may very well to be a “better bang for the buck” than 
either of the two I’ve identified in this e-mail?

I can afford the $119.95 for the ABBY product, but I don’t really care to pay 
for functionality that will likely never be used. I’m looking for this for my 
personal home use so “state of the art” isn’t really essential.  But then, I 
don’t want to buy the less costly option only to find that it will not offer 
functions such as letting me open image files online to convert to something a 
screen reader can recognize.

I hope I’ve outlined my dilemma here satisfactorily and would appreciate any 
thoughts, suggestions and related experiences in this matter.

Sincer thanks (in advance)

Strange Issue with Mail Preferences

2017-01-20 Thread Bill Gallik

I’m looking for any suggestions to resolve an unusual problem in setting the 
“Spell-Check” property in Mail Preferences.

A friend had the property set to “As You Type” and wanted to change it to 
“Never.” I walked her through the “Mail Preferences” sheet; having her select 
the “Composing Button” in the Tool Bar and then selecting “Never” in the Pop-Up 
for Spell-Check.  I then advised her to close the window with +W, but 
when she tried to compose a mail message with an intentionally misspelled word 
the spell checking screen still appeared.

She is using a Mac Mini (2.6 GHz) with Sierra installed.

Does anybody have any thoughts on this.  I should add that I repeated the exact 
steps on my Mac Mini and spelll check is naught coming up for me. (for thoze 
that are able to vizhually read this message, yes, I’ve intentionally put 
spelling airrors in these final lynes)! ;-)

App for DropBox

2016-08-21 Thread Bill Gallik

All,

After opening the “Preferences Dialog” for this “App for DropBox” I believe the 
trouble I’m having is that this element is a third party piece of garbage that 
I now want to uninstall from my Mac mini.

How does one go about uninstalling unwanted software?

How do I go about getting the “real DropBox” installed?

Thank You!

Re: Here is the Text of the User Manual for the Nearby Explorer, for iOS, GPS Navigation App

To all our friends living outside the United States and Canada,

I believe this was developed and is provided by the American Printing House for 
the Blind (APH).

Perhaps I’m naive, but I have to believe that arrangements could be made so 
that similar organizations in other countries could be allowed to “port” the 
app to digital maps and languages of such countries.  I suggest you may want to 
contact such similar organizations in your countries to request that they 
pursue this.  It certainly would be nice if all blind persons had access to as 
many of these sorts of apps as possible!

Re: Application for making ringtones for iphone & android phones using El Capitan?

2016-09-26 Thread Bill Gallik

I believe Ringtone Maker Pro is something like $1.99.  You do have to somehow 
get the resulting ringtone into your iTunes library on your Mac or PC, but this 
part is quite straight forward; after saving the newly created ringtone  you 
have an option to send an e-mail with the ringtone attached to an e-mail 
account that’s active on the target Mac/PC.  At that point you simply open the 
attachment MRA file and the ringtone is loaded into your iTunes library where 
it will be available to load back to your iPhone via sync.  

There are a couple of caveats I must include here:

1)  On a Windows PC you need to have iTunes set as the default program for MRA 
files so that opening the newly created/e-mailed ringtone will be loaded into 
the iTunes structures (yes, it will “magically” copied to the right locations).
2)  For Android phones you’ll need a conversion program (i.e., Switch) to 
convert the M4A/MRA file into an MP3 file.  This will require an additional 
software library to create the MP3 on  your PC.  Since I don’t have an Android 
phone I have no idea how to get a ringtone installed on said device, but as I 
understand Android can be linked to a PC as just another drive I should think 
this should be reasonably convenient using a COPY and PASTE.

I would think, like all Google groups, there is a designated moderator email

How Are "Home Made" Ringtones Installed

2016-08-26 Thread Bill Gallik

I’ve created some “Home Made Ringtones” (via Ringtone Maker Pro) and want to 
install them on my iPhone. When I was using my Windows PC as the support 
computer for my iPhone this was fairly straight-forward - at least with that 
version of iTunes. I am now using my Mac Mini as the support computer for my 
iPhone and iPad II.  But for the life of me, I can’t figure out how to get 
those ringtones installed on the iPhone.

Could anyone please offer some suggestions?

Searching for Express VPN

2016-08-28 Thread Bill Gallik

OK, I’ve had my interest piqued concerning “Express VPN.”  But when I open “App 
Store” for Mac and search for “Express VPN” I get the following:

- VPN Shield
- Red VPN

Now, of course, I’m looking for a replacement for Avast on my Mac and not my 
iPhone 6.  Are either of the above what I want to install? Or, should I be 
looking for something entirely different for my Mac?

Follow-Up on Recent Bluetooth Speaker Connectivity

2016-09-27 Thread Bill Gallik

First, thanks to the folks that offered their insights as how to pair a 
bluetooth speaker to my Mac Mini! Your help is very much appreciated.

The crux of the issue was that I still had the speaker paired with my iPhone 6 
and once I removed that pairing the speaker readily appeared in the device 
table on my Mac and I was able to pair it.

Re: Application for making ringtones for iphone & android phones using El Capitan?

2016-09-27 Thread Bill Gallik

First of all, I need to correct a minor error I made in my original post; the 
name of the app is ringtone maker Pro.

As to the question about where it will begin creating the ringtone from a sound 
source, it does begin at the very beginning. However, there are very accessible 
features to allow you to start at a point in the sound source where you prefer. 
The app will also allow you to create a 40 seconds ringtone to as low as a five 
second ringtone/alarm. It may be less than five seconds, but I'm not sure 
because I have never tried to go lower than a five second tone.

The process is as follows:
– Naturally, you open up the app.
– You select a sound source – probably a song on your eye device.
– There is also a provision for recording a new sound source.
– You are then placed in a dialogue where you are able to select various 
features such as beginning point and endpoint as well as fade in and fade out.
– I think it is a very accessible as a well designed and usable app.
– When finished, you hit the save button.
– After saving the tone, there is a share button that will allow you to email 
the tone as an attachment.

Disclaimer: I have absolutely no financial stake in the successful marketing of 
this app!

Re: Application for making ringtones for iphone & android phones using El Capitan?

2016-09-26 Thread Bill Gallik

I use an iOS app named ring maker Pro from the Apple App Store. You execute 
this app on the iPhone or iPad and then send it to your Mac as an email or text 
message attachment. You then open it on the Mac (or PC) and iTunes will load it 
into your iTunes folders where it will then be available to download when you 
do a sink from your Mac (or PC). When you get this app, it will be named rmaker 
pro rather than ringmaker pro.

Using Audacity when totally blind

All,

I am asking for some advice trying to use Audacity on my Mac. I am trying to 
cut out a 5.23 second snippet of an audio file but am having difficulty trying 
to get those start and links fields appropriately filled in. Can anybody offer

I was hoping that I could simply enter act with the text fields and fill in the 
numbers as appropriate. This is proving to be extremely difficult!

Apple Guides for Installing New MacOS

2016-10-21 Thread Bill Gallik

Good Morning All;

I’ve been searching AppleVis.com for guides/documentation for installing a new 
OS (e.g., Sierra in this case) but have been frustrated in my efforts.  I’m not 
interested in a podcast, I want to read an actual document.  Can anybody offer 
me a link or other suggestions?

Thanks!

Re: new file system

2016-11-26 Thread Bill Gallik

I can’t imagine that Windows would be unable (BootCamp) to run on a non-Intel 
architecture.  The user interface software typically does not interact with the 
platform hardware; the connection between the user interface 
(Windows/MacOS/Unix) and the hardware architecture is implemented via drivers 
and I’d be surprised if Microsoft doesn’t have drivers available for non-Intel 
architectures.

When I worked for Bell Labs we had Unix running on various hardware platforms 
such as PDP, Vax, Intel, 3B2, 3B5 and 3B20S/D. Each of these hardware platforms 
had varying architectures and the system calls from the OS depended on the 
machine-specific drivers to function properly.

Re: new file system

I honestly didn’t get the impression that Simon was “getting hot under the 
collar.”  Rather, seems to me he was merely manifesting some concern that tools 
he uses might no longer be available.

It’s improbable that those that are uncomfortable with change will not have 
such concerns; there’s no harm done in looking for assurance!
