Re: Safari sweet spot

2020-07-15 Thread Anne Robertson
Hello Ian,
After setting the shortcut, did you check that it showed up in the table? When 
setting a shortcut in the Keyboard Commander, you simply press the appropriate 
key without the Option key.
Cheers,

Anne

Re: Pages and custom template

Hello Leo,
When you open Pages, you shouldn’t have to press anything. The application 
should open with a blank template. Cmd-n is the command to show the Template 
Chooser.

Re: How do I check the time on the mac?

2020-05-22 Thread Anne Robertson
Hello Shirley,

With the keyboard commander turned on, Option-t gives you the time. In 
VoiceOver Utility, in the Commanders category, you can choose whether to use 
the right or left Option key. However, on a laptop, the only sensible choice is 
the righthand Option key since there is no Control key on that side so the 
Option key can’t really be used for the VoiceOver keys.
VO-Shift-k toggles the keyboard commander on and off.
Cheers,

Anne

Re: commands for navigating the web

2020-05-16 Thread Anne Robertson
Hello Shirley,
You open the web rotor by pressing VO-u. The rotor is like a series of 
drop-down menus, each listing all the items of a particular type such as links, 
headings, form controls etc.
To find commands, press VO-h-h and you’ll have the full list of VoiceOver 
commands. If you want to find commands relating to links, just type the word 
link and the list will shrink to show only commands with the word link in them.
Some commands have no shortcut assigned to them, but you can always add one 
using one of the commanders.
You should explore the VoiceOver Utility as it has lots of settings for you to 
customise your Mac.
Cheers,

Anne

Hello Phil,

I haven’t much in the way of spreadsheets on my computer so I asked my husband 
to test the latest Numbers on his, which is a recent MacBook Pro running 
Catalina. For him, VoiceOver will read column headers for the first 22 columns, 
and row headers for the first 44 rows. This is true both for navigating using 
the VO keys, and VO-Shift-t.

where I was recently treated for cancer is where the first local case was 
diagnosed. My husband is an independent English teacher and already some of his 
classes have been cancelled. It’s a very weird situation to be living through.
Cheers,

Anne

My husband had a similar problem last Friday. He had to try a couple of times

Re: Voiceover focus question

Hello Joseph,

In System Preferences, go to Notifications where you’ll find a table of all the 
applications that put out notifications. You can select the type of 
notification you want for each application or turn them all off. I have them 
turned off for everything.

Cheers,

Re: Does anyone have experience with iExplorer?

2019-11-11 Thread Anne Robertson
Hello Marcia,
Here is one way of using iExplorer under Catalina.
Connect your iPhone to your Mac using a cable.
Quit Photos if it gets launched automatically!
Launch iExplorer.
In the toolbar, select List view in View Mode and stop interacting.
Navigate right to the sidebar.
Interact and navigate down to Media.
VO-j three times to go to the table containing all the media.
VO-Down Arrow to Podcasts.
Right arrow alone to expand Podcasts (it might jump back up to the top of the 
table).
The elements within Podcasts are: plists, jpegs and mp3s.
VO-Down Arrow to the first mp3 (it will have a filename that is all numbers).
Press Spacebar to hear which one it is and Spacebar again to close QuickLook.
Open the contextual menu with VO-Shift-m and go down to Export to folder… (The 
short cut does not work!).
Press Return and a dialogue box appears.
Select an existing folder or create a new one then click the Export button.
By selecting multiple rows, you can export them all at once.
Warning: iExplorer runs a background activity called Matching tracks to iTunes 
which can take quite a long time. When it’s completed, the Media contents pane 
is replaced by a list of all the media files on the iPhone with an option to 
export them all. This will only disappear if you navigate left to the sidebar, 
interact and do VO-Up Arrow, VO-Down Arrow back to Media. VO-j three times will 
then work as described.

I hope this helps.
Cheers,

Anne

I don’t know how to recognise the colour of an element in Safari, but VO-Cmd-k

Re: Shutting Down Quick Nav When Not in Safari

2019-10-13 Thread Anne Robertson
Hello Dave,
The disclosure triangle is immediately to the right of hotspots. If the label 
is there, just press VO-Space on it.
Barry is right to recommend medium verbosity. You should only use low verbosity 
in applications you know inside out. As someone who’s been using a Mac for over 
twenty years. I still have my default verbosity set to medium, but have a low 
verbosity activity for Mail and Numbers, since I only use Numbers for filling 
in a crossword grid.
Cheers,

Anne

Re: Shutting Down Quick Nav When Not in Safari

2019-10-12 Thread Anne Robertson
Hello Dave,

You need to expand the disclosure triangle, additional settings to include, by 
pressing VO-Space. Quick Nav is there.
Cheers,

Anne

A.R. Pages is horrible for reading so when, for instance, I need to read 
through a completed translation, I just copy the whole thing into TextEdit and 
read it there. This also has the advantage of not reading the changes when I 
have track changes turned on.
You can set a short cut for the service New TextEdit window containing 
selection which means you just have to do Cmd-a and the said short cut.

Re: Getting the focus to the body field

2019-09-18 Thread Anne Robertson
Hello Hem,

If you are talking about reading a message, then VO-j should work for you.
If you are writing a message, VoiceOver will just say “Tab” if you have arrived 
in the body of the message and you’ll have to delete that character.
Cheers,

Anne

Re: Content areas

2019-09-15 Thread Anne Robertson
My normal practice is to jump to the first heading. You can also get the web 
page statistics with VO-Shift-i, then you’d have an idea what you’re up against.
The VO cursor used to land in the content area, but it stopped doing that a 
while ago.
Having used VoiceOver since its first appearance, I just adapt to each change 
as it happens. Some things are good, some are bad, and some are good for some 
and bad for others. I hate the new way of changing voices as I have to do it 
countless times every day to change languages. However, I realise I’m in a 
minority there.

Re: A Substitute for Alex -- Where is Eloquence?

2019-09-14 Thread Anne Robertson
Hello Dave,

I presume you’ve tried all the other English-language voices available to 
download from Apple? I can’t stand Alex but I use good old Fred most of the 
time. I also use Fiona as my system voice.
In English, we have a huge choice of voices. I’m much more limited when it 
comes to French voices but Thomas suits me fine.
Cheers,

Anne

Re: Beginners question

2019-09-06 Thread Anne Robertson
Hello Petrus,

Here’s a solution for you.
In VoiceOver Utility, go to Commanders and select Keyboard commander. This is 
the one that uses the righthand Option key. Click the Add button and press  a 
key that is not already used by the commander.
VO-Right Arrow once to the menu button, click it and press sp for speech, then 
right arrow and navigate down to decrease rate.
Press Return, then repeat the process for Increase rate.
The new commands will show up in the table.
Cheers,

Anne

 Dave,
 
 It's all a matter of priority and preference.  Yes, it worked in the past, 
 and yes, it still works.  It just is a slightly different key combination. 
  Making the rotor less key strokes, from their research, probably affected 
 more people and would make more aspects of VO easily manipulated.  
 Changing the voice parameters is less often necessary, whereas, changing 
 the rotor is more commonly done.
 
 Later...

Re: Copying text from a web site

2019-09-01 Thread Anne Robertson
Hello Dan,

In Pages, for instance, you may wish to select text between two headings. You 
can use the rotor to find the first heading and set a hotspot, then use the 
rotor again to find the heading where you wish to end the selection and set 
another hotspot. Go to the first hotspot and press Ctrl-Space, then go straight 
to the second hotspot and press Ctrl-x-x and the text in between will be 
selected.
You can’t press VO-Return at the first hotspot, jump to the second and press 
VO-Return again and have the intervening text selected.

Cheers,

Anne

Re: Copying text from a web site

2019-09-01 Thread Anne Robertson
Hello Leo,

You can select text between two markers in any text document on the Mac if you 
do the following:
Click on this link to download Keybindings.zip
>

In your Downloads folder, open the Keybindings.zip with Cmd-o.
Paste the resulting folder into your user library folder.
You should now be able to mark the start of your selection with Ctrl-Space, 
navigate to the place you wish to end your selection and press Ctrl-x-x. The 
text in between wil be selected.

Cheers,

Anne

Re: Envelopes in Pages with VoiceOver

2019-08-23 Thread Anne Robertson
Hello Ryan,

You need to do a lot more interacting to get to where you can fill in the 
addresses.
There appear to be three elements on the page: a decorative square; a text box 
and the body.
The text box is in the upper lefthand corner. You can get this information by 
pressing VO-Cmd-F3 while in the text box. Pressing the same command again will 
give you further information about the text box. There is placeholder text in 
the text box which will disappear when you type over it. This is the sender’s 
address. As always, VO-t will give you the details of the font.
The Body area is for the addressee. Once again, there is placeholder text.

For myself, I prefer to print envelopes from the Contacts application. It 
allows you to use the cards already in there and saves a lot of messing about.

Cheers,

Anne

Re: New subscriber with a question about voiceover and safari

2019-07-28 Thread Anne Robertson
Hello Greg,

In Safari, there are several ways of selecting and copying text.
Always interact with web content to use the VO keys.
You can select text by pressing VO-Return to start selecting, navigate right 
using the VO keys, then press VO-Return to stop selecting and copy with Cmd-c.
In the VO Utility, make sure that Lines are included in the Rotor. In Safari, 
using Quick Nav, select Lines and use Shift-Down Arrow to select text.
If all else fails, you still have the command Copy the last phrase to the 
clipboard (VO-Shift-c).
Cheers,

Anne

Re: How to Get TextEdit to Display "Documents" Folder when Opening

2019-07-28 Thread Anne Robertson
Hello Craig,

As far as I know, you can’t do this. It did it when iCloud Drive was in use 
because the Documents folder was in iCloud Drive, ready to be shared with other 
devices. However, in the File menu, you can find Recents which will offer you 
the documents you’ve been working on lately.
Cheers,

Anne

Have you tried opening the PDF in Preview, then selecting all the text with

Re: Audacity for Mac

Hello Lorie,

Just copy Audacity.app then press command-shift-a to open the Applications

I find Audacity to be quite complicated to use and rarely need to use it. I

Re: Exporting Albums from iTunes

Hello Tim,

Don’t feel bad about it. So many things have changed over the years it’s hard 
to keep up.
While teaching VoiceOver, I regularly discover features I wasn't aware of.
It was Canadian music, specifically Acadian music, that I was converting 
recently. I find their version of French fascinating.

I think this means that all songs downloaded from the iTunes Store will have

My converted purchased albums play fine from the USB key I put them on.

Re: Exporting Albums from iTunes

2019-05-08 Thread Anne Robertson
Hello E.T.,

You don’t need to go through all that burning a CD stuff.
In iTunes, open the preferences and click the Import settings button and select 
MP3 from the menu. Click the OK button and another OK button and you’ll be out 
of Preferences.
you can now select all the tracks on the album and go to the File menu. Go down 
to Convert and you’ll find MP3 as an option.
After the conversion, you’ll have two of each track.
Go to the Finder and open your iTunes library.
Find the album and sort the folder according to Type. All your MP3 versions 
will be together. Select them all and copy them. Create a new folder somewhere 
else such as in Documents and paste them there.
You’ll need to delete the unwanted versions from within iTunes or iTunes will 
get very upset!
I did this very recently with purchased music.

Cheers,

Anne

Re: Switching among documents on pages?

2019-05-03 Thread Anne Robertson
European keyboards have 79 keys whereas American-style keboards have 78. The 
Return key on a European keyboard is an oddly-shaped key that extends over two 
rows and is narrow at the bottom. The American Return key is two key-widths 
wide rather like the right shift key which is just below it.
Although all keyboards have their key attributions printed on the keys, you can 
set any keyboard to another layout. The keyboard on my MacBook Air is printed 
as an azerty keyboard which is the French standard, but I switch between the 
French and British layout regularly as it’s easier to type the Accented lettrs 
on the azerty layout but I prefer the numbers on the British layout as the 
French ones require the shift key.
Cheers,

Anne

Re: PrimePhonic an app for a Classical Music lovers

2019-04-27 Thread Anne Robertson
Hello Mary,

Something I find strange about Apple Music is that not all artists whose music 
can be bought from iTunes is available on Apple Music. I’ve recently become 
fascinated by Acadian music and have bought several albums from iTunes, but my 
favourite Acadian musician, Cayouche, can’t be found on Apple Music despite 
having 5 albums in the iTunes Store.
Cheers,

Anne

Re: Mueller reportc

2019-04-20 Thread Anne Robertson
Hello Sarah,

What problems are you having copying links? Here are some suggestions:
To link to the page - Cmd-shift-i. Opens a new message in Mail.
To copy a link you find on a page - VO-Shift-u to read the link, then 
VO-Shift-c to copy it to the clipboard. You can then paste it into a message.

Cheers,

Anne

Re: A TTS Engine instead of a Human Voice for Reading a Novel? Maybe

2019-04-15 Thread Anne Robertson
Hello Mark,

I read ebooks using the Daniel voice all the time. I also listen to Audible 
books and sometimes, the Daniel voice does a better job than the human reader. 
However, when a good human reader does the job, it’s definitely better.

Hello Gena,

I do the same as you, but if I don’t know the type of element I’m looking for, 
I use VO-i (the item chooser) and type a few letters. I’m also starting to use

Re: A list of vo commands?

2019-04-07 Thread Anne Robertson
Hello Shirley,

You can find all the VO commands by pressing VO-h-h. They are organised into 
categories with submenus. After the definition of each command comes its 
keystroke. There are commands that have no keystroke assigned, but you can 
assign any of these to a commander action such as keyboard commander or 
trackpad commander.
Cheers,

Anne

Re: How to work around edit boxes that refuse input?

2019-03-31 Thread Anne Robertson
Hello Eric,

Sometimes, it helps to bring the mouse (VO-Cmd-F5) and either click or 
double-click with VO-Shift-Space or the trackpad if you don’t have the trackpad 
commander enabled.

Cheers,

 Ok,
 I seem to be running into this more and more on various websites of late: 
 edit boxes that won’t accept input and won’t provide feedback to the 
 screen reader. The latest, interestingly enough, is on google.com and 
 their account verification dialog. I had to recover an email account 
 today, but was unable to complete the process because the edit box to 
 input the verification code would not accept any input. In fact, It failed 
 to do so on 3 separate browsers (Firefox, safari and chrome). I even 
 disabled the screen reader and sought help from one of the room mates. He 
 tried to input the code in the assigned edit box and it still wouldn’t 
 accept input.
 Anyone have any clues how to get around this?
 Also, I dropped an email into the google accessibility group with complete 
 details of the problem. Unknown if any of the google devs even read it and 
 there appears to be no real way to contact google otherwise. Some 
 suggestions on that also welcome.
 thanks.

Re: Languages, the Orbit Reader and VoiceOver

Hello Jonathan,

Thank you so much for this. I had removed Braille screen input from the rotor, 
but when I put it back and turned to that setting in the rotor, I was able to 
change both input and output to French so it should work with German for Mike.
Cheers,

Hello Mike,

Annoyingly, it seems that you have to switch the iPhone language to change the 
Braille. I have a Focus 14 paired with my iPhone and I tried changing the 
VoiceOver language and the input keyboard to French, but the only Braille 
options were English language choices. I know the iPhone works fine with French 
Braille so it seems the only option is to change the iPhone language for the 
whole system.
To be fair, this doesn’t take very long, it’s just annoying.

Re: vo+t and other issues

2019-03-24 Thread Anne Robertson
Hello everyone,

In TextEdit, using an RTF document, VO-t gave me this:
Bold, italic helvetica, aligned left
When I do VO-Cmd-F3, I get this:
Covers most of the scroll area.  120 millimetres wide, 124 millimetres tall
When I press VO-Cmd-F3 a second time, I get this:
0 millimetres right, 0 millimetres down from top left corner of scroll area
This is the position of the item within the printable area, so does not include 
the margins.

In Pages, VO-t gave me this:
References 9 point helvetica a shade of blue, align natural
References is the name of the style.
VO-Cmd-F3 gives me this:
Covers most of the page 16, summary: international affairs. Nature, 141:947, 
1938. Burton Tells of Crime Drive. Cleveland Press, June 22, 1938. WHYTE, L. L. 
An ethical declaration for the times. Nature, 141:827, 1938. PRICE, W. A. 
Dental Infections, Oral and Systemic. Cleveland, Penton, 1923.

 page.  17 centimeters wide, 10.15 centimeters tall, scaled

A second press of VO-Cmd-F3 gives me:
2 centimeters x and 447.5 centimeters y, scaled

The Y coordinate shows the distance from the top of the document.

Our book on Pages goes into detail about how to understand page layout in Pages.

Hello Mary Jo,

On my British keyboard, the backslash is two keys to the right of semicolon. 
However, you can find out what any key is by using VO-k to open the Keyboard 
Help and pressing each key in turn. It also allows you to test any VO commands.

Cheers,

Anne

Hello Lorie,

What I do in Mail is to interact with the message list and navigate to the 
column I want to sort by. I then do the following series of commands:
VO-Shift-Backslash
VO-Space Bar
VO-Shift-Backslash.
Then if I want the sort to go in the opposite direction, I repeat the process.
Cheers,

Re: Getting Older Version Of File Using Time Machine Under Mojave

2019-03-03 Thread Anne Robertson
Hello Pete,
Navigate to the file in question then launch Time machine.
Use the Window chooser to select Time Machine Controls.
You should find the Previous button and to the right of that a vertical slider 
showing the date and time of each backup.
Interact with the slider and navigate to the version you want to restore.
Stop interacting and click the Restore button.
I’m using the latest version of Mojave so I can’t imagine why you’re not seeing 
the same controls as I am.
Cheers,

Anne

Singing the praises of FineReader Pro

2019-02-26 Thread Anne Robertson
Hello list,
My husband bought me a rather obscure double CD recently and I wanted to be 
able to read the very extensive information in the enclosed booklet. The print 
is very tiny, pale on a dark background and printed over photos of landscapes. 
To complicate matters further, some of the songs are written in a dialect of 
Canadian French that creates French forms of English words. I’m talking about 
Acadian French. Although there were a few problems with the OCR, they were very 
few and my sighted husband was able to correct them very quickly. He said they 
only occurred where artistic wavy lines on the backround pictures intersected 
with letters.
I’m really impressed.
Cheers,

Anne

Re: Getting started with Braille input?

Hello Harry,
With your Braille display connected, open VoiceOver Utility and select Braille 
in the side bar. Select the second tab, Displays then navigate right to the 
button Assign Commands. Press VO-Space Bar and you’ll find a table showing the 
commands for your particular display.
You can assign your own commands or change existing ones that don’t suit you. 
When you’ve finished looking at them, click the Done button.

Re: menu extras

2019-02-10 Thread Anne Robertson
Hello Lorie,
The page up and page down keys do exactly what their names suggest, but this is 
just a visual effect. They do not move any cursors. However, they are used with 
VO commands, as are the Home and End keys.
Cheers,

Anne

Re: menu extras

2019-02-08 Thread Anne Robertson
Hello Jonathan,

I use those general commands a lot.
Ctrl-F2 - Apple menu.
Ctrl-F3 - Dock.
Ctrl-F5 - Tool bar.
Ctrl-F8 - Menu extras.
Beware of Ctrl-F1 as it toggles keyboard access on and off. Here we disable 
that command then use the same keystroke for Speak selected text.
I find it useful to know these kinds of commands just in case VoiceOver fails 
me for some reason. However, problems like that are very rare these days.
Cheers,

Anne

Re: How do I access applications

2018-12-23 Thread Anne Robertson
Hello Shirley,

Command-Shift-a to open the Applications folder is not a Voiceover command. It 
works whether VoiceOver is on or off.
All the VoiceOver Commands can be found by holding down the VoiceOver keys 
whether you use Control and Option, or the caps lock key, then pressing the 
letter h twice.
Standard shortcuts such as Command-Shift-a are shown in the menus beside the 
relevant menu item. So, in the Finder, to find the shortcuts for opening 
specific folders, do VO-m to open the Apple menu, then use VO-Right Arrow 
several times to reach the Go menu, then VO-Down Arrow to the appropriate 
command. After the command name, you’ll hear the shortcut.
Cheers,

Anne

You can save the layout you prefer as a template and make it the default 
template when you open a new document.
Our book covers all of this and more.

If you mean, can you read his ID and password, no. They are the two things you 
need to be able to connect. Your friend will need someone to read them out to 
you. However, the ID never changes, it’s just the password that changes with 
each session.

Hello Mike,

It sounds as though what you really need is a MacBook Air. It’s easy to carry 
around, has two USB ports, one thunderbolt and an SD slot. The keyboard is the 
same as the standard Apple wireless keyboard and you can connect a DVD drive or 
other external device.

Sometimes reading by sentence works and sometimes it doesn’t. I suspect it has

Re: Question about Auto Fill when Completing Forms on the Mac

Hello Tim,

I find it easier to use Cmd-Shift-a for the autofill.

Re: filling out a for in Safari on a Mac

2018-11-13 Thread Anne Robertson
Hello Lorie,

To turn cursor tracking on or off, VO-Shift-F3.
When you need to find a command, press VO-h-h then type a key word and you will 
find the results by doing VO-Down Arrow.

Cheers,

Anne

Re: Mojave not staying on my preferred voice after update

2018-11-10 Thread Anne Robertson
Hello,
I’ve just done the update to 10.14.1 with no voice problems. I have four 
different languages set up on my MacBook Air with my system running in English. 
Fred is my preferred voice and that’s the one that was speaking after the 
update. I do not have automatic language switching selected as it’s more 
trouble than it’s worth.
Cheers,

Anne

Re: Hoping someone can check a web page with VoiceOver

Hello Eric,

You might be able to do it using mousekeys.  However, I found it a bit hit and

Eric, it’s one of these mouse over situations. Somehow, VoiceOver doesn’t place

Re: Hoping someone can check a web page with VoiceOver

2018-10-30 Thread Anne Robertson
Hello Brett,
As far as I can tell, this is inaccessible with VoiceOver. I got my sighted 
husband to look at it and we managed to expand an entry, but the process was 
very complicated. Once expanded, the contents were readable.
What happens is the mouse cursor has to turn into a pointer which can then be 
clicked to open the panel.
I’ve managed to do it, but it’s very hit and miss. Here’s how.
In VoiceOver Utility, category Verbosity, Announcements tab, make sure that the 
Speak text under mouse after delay: tickbox is ticked and that the delay is 
zero.
Turn Trackpad commander off.
Navigate to the tabs and bring the mouse (VO-Cmd-F5).
Drag your finger towards you on the trackpad and you should hear each tab 
announced in turn.
Double-click by pressing the trackpad twice.
Slide your finger to the left until you hear “Expanded”.
You should now be able to navigate with VoiceOver.
Cheers,

Anne

Re: Apple mail in Mojave

2018-10-24 Thread Anne Robertson
Hello Lorie,

I’ve noticed a few weird changes like this in Mojave. There isn’t another 
command to send mail, it’s just the announcement that’s changed. Other changes 
include ticked instead of checked, volume rather than partition, and I’m sure 
there are others I’ve forgotten. However, I find Mojave to be very snappy and 
pleasant to use.
Cheers,

Anne
