Help with removing call recorder for face time on Mac
Hi folks, After a 7 day trial of the call Recorder app for Facetime, I've decided not to purchase it because I wouldn't use it enough. It's a great app though. Anyway, whenever I open Facetime on the Mac, or whenever I get a call, the your trial has ended now window pops up. The only options are buy now and not today. How do I get rid of the call recorder app altogether. There's an installer app for call recorder in my applications folder, but I don't know if that applies to my skype call recorder, which I want to keep, or this facetime one. I don't understand the Mac well enough to know how to uninstall something and stop this window coming up. Any wisdom greatly appreciated as ever.

Re: Continuity just doesn't work
Chris, It has never worked for me either despite trying everything, so I've just given up on it. You're not alone. Apple just works right? haha Not always.

Text forwarding and Continuity calling works flawlessly for me. Even at work when I have my MBP plugged into ethernet, iPhone connected to enterprise WiFi, I could be off in a different part of the building with each unit connected to different network closets, and continuity calling works perfect. I suggest that you disable all the continuity features, then re-enable them one at a time confirming that each works prior to moving on. If it does not apply, then try with a different unit, thus determining where the issues may be. Later...

I have the option enabled on all devices, Bluetooth is enabled, everything on same wi-fi network, all signed into the same iCloud account. When I'm writing mail on Mac for example, I don't see a Continuity icon on iPhone's App Switcher even though both devices are enabled. Any suggestions? I've tried logging out and into iCloud and resetting devices but nothing. Another issue I have is with Text Message Forwarding: on iPhone under Settings Messages Text Message Forwarding, it's only showing 1 Mac when I have two Macs set up. I have all devices set up to use my phone number and Apple ID, but only the most recent device to login to iMessage is shown. So if I disable a Mac's iMessage account then re-enable, that device only shows and same with the other Mac. Apple support have been useless. Any suggestions or fixes would be hugely appreciated. -Shaf -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups MacVisionaries group.

Re: textDetective versus knfbReader
I had text detective for a few years before KNFB reader became available. I got some useful results with it, but never entire documents such as bank statements. I would get bits of them, but not the whole thing. For me, KNFB Reader is definitely worth the price and eclipses Text Detective completely. KNFB reader is designed with blind people in mind, attempting to correct poor images taken by blind people who obviously can't see what they are trying to capture. I guess it depends on how much OCR on printed documents you are intending to do, but for me KNFB Reader has been worth it.

I've observed it on 3 machines at various places, but people don't seem to confirm that it's a thing. Note: The below behavior is unique to the standard view in mail, which I prefer. It doesn't seem to happen in classic layout. In Mavericks, the mailboxes list, which I use quite frequently, is just a couple of items off to the left of the messages column view once you stop interacting with the messages column. However, in Yosemite, it's a good 4 or so items to the right. Visually, it seems it hasn't changed at all, but voiceover seems to think moving to the right is now a good way to get to the mailboxes list, even though visually it's still off to the left. This is enough to drive me batty, and the only thing really stopping me from upgrading. Is there a workaround for this incredibly odd behavior? I can probably learn to live with it, and I know I could do voiceover command T to jump to the table, but that's kind of an awkward keystroke on a laptop, for me personally.

Re: Files Sometimes Going into Subfolders in Save Dialogs
I get this behaviour too, even in column view sometimes. The Mac save dialogs confuse me quite a bit. It always feels a bit hit and miss. There's the pop up button and the side bar, and I never know for sure where things are being saved to. So you're not alone Alex. Sorry I can't help. Lisette On 19/05/2015, at 5:09 am, Alex Hall mehg...@icloud.com wrote: Hi all, I've been using a Mac for some years now, and I consider myself to be quite knowledgeable about OS X and VoiceOver. One thing I've never been able to nail down, though, is this: why do files sometimes go where I tell them to in OS X save dialogs, and sometimes end up in a subfolder inside the folder I decide on? I always use List View, and normally, that works in the most logical way: if you open a folder, things go in it. If you don't open it, even if you're pointing to it, nothing goes in there. Sometimes, though, List View will behave more like Column View, where pointing to a folder is enough to make things go into that folder. If it were always one or the other I'd be okay, but I can never know for sure if a file will go where I tell it or if I'll need to start hunting through all the subfolders of that folder to find where it went. Has anyone identified the reason this happens, and how to always be sure files go where I want them? Again, this is in any OS X dialog where you select a folder--save, export, save attachments, whatever it is.

Re: Apple Watch and Maps experience
Jenine, What kind of phone are you using? David Woodbridge got his turns on his podcast just before the place to turn. Just wondered about what phone you are using and whether this makes a difference? Pure speculation as I don't have a watch. Lisette On 4/05/2015, at 5:47 am, Jenine Stanley dragonwalke...@gmail.com wrote: This is for donna and others wondering about how the Maps app works on both the phone and Watch. It seems, unless someone knows a trick I don’t, that if you just turn the Maps app on in your phone, it does not automatically handoff to the Watch or match the Maps App on the Watch in any way. right now it seems all you can really do with the Maps app on the Watch as a stand-alone is to get your position when standing still with a nifty visual map plus street address. This is not particularly accurate either. The GPS seems to be a bit lagging or like the last generation GPS receivers in the old phones that used Mobile speak. Now for the pairing/handoff feature. this is cool but again there is a definite lag while walking. I was well past my turns before getting the haptic or verbal feedback to turn. It did show my destination, my home, just as I stepped onto my driveway which was good but the turns were really off. The Maps app on the Watch is also invoked when you have an address in a message or other app on the Watch and you either double tap it or do the forced touch on it, depending on the app. This is the same as if you start the direction process on your phone apparently as both seem to use Apple Maps. The handoff process is quick, maybe 2 seconds tops but then the GPS is slow to keep up. Right now the only GPS seems to be using Apple Maps. If anyone knows of anything different, please shout out. Oh and finally, I set the tracking option to “ON” for the Watch and “ON with Headings” for the phone and it seemed to make no difference. Can’t wait to hear other people’s experiences. Oh and I’m beyond happy the Transit App is fixed so you can see the next bus with VO!

Re: Recording facetime calls
Hi again, Thanks to Christopher for his instructions on using quick time. What's odd is that you can choose either internal microphone or external one if attached. If you choose the external mic such as the earbud mic, you can still faintly hear system sounds including voice over. Voice over is coming through the earphones, but it's sort of faintly being recorded as well. I'm presuming there's no way to record both system sounds and external mic at once, unless you use Audio Highjack right? Just getting my head around it all. Thanks.

I'd love to see one, but no chance of that here in New Zealand for goodness knows how long. We don't have actual Apple stores here so we don't know which Apple re-sellers will be selling it here. I'm on the fence about buying one. I don't really like talking watches so probably it wouldn't be a good buy for me. I'm still curious though. Definitely something I want to feel before I buy it.

I was very interested in it, but not sure what I would think, based on the mixed reviews I've seen. It was hard to tell much because they weren't able to demo voiceover, but I liked the form factor, and thought the stuff I was hearing from the video demo was pretty cool. Since I have fourteen days to return it if I don't like it, I decided to go ahead and pre-order one. I just got the aluminum sports model, because I figure it's highly likely that I'll want to upgrade when newer generations are released, so didn't see the sense in shelling out the extra $200. Looking forward to its arrival and getting to actually put it through its paces. Cheers, Donna -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups MacVisionaries group.

Re: IoS 8.3, strange behavior
Yes I can confirm this with an iPhone 6. I still hear 3 of 5 bars next to it, but the network name is not spoken. Very odd. Lisette On 11/04/2015, at 7:15 pm, Shen goalb...@gmail.com wrote: I updated my iPhone 6 yesterday to iOS 8.3 and immediately noticed something a little strange. It doesn't affect how iOS or the phone works, but the fact that this is even possible is very strange, and a little funny. If you updated your phone to iOS 8.3, try the following: First, remember that at the top of the screen, where your status is, 1 of the items is your network. This tells you the name of the network you are using, ATT, Verizon, Virgin Mobile, etc. Now open 1 of the following apps: Calendar, Notes, Weather, Music, Photos, or Reminders. These are the apps I've tested so far. With 1 of these apps open, now check your network name again. Does VoiceOver still say the name of your network? Mine does not. Visually, my phone is still showing the name of my network. But VoiceOver says, Swipe down with 3 fingers to reveal the Notification Center. Swipe up with 3 fingers to reveal the Control Center. Double tap to scroll to top. So far, I've been able to verify this rather interesting behavior with 3 iPhone 6's. I'm going to try it on a 6 Plus shortly. I'd like to know if anyone else is haring VoiceOver saying the same thing to them. Might be another call to Apple Accessibility. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups MacVisionaries group.

Re: I'm not disappointed but am looking forward.
Eileen, My understanding is that there is no Siri voide, but that voice over will read the Siri text. So you will hear Siri speak in whichever VO voice you have chosen, but not in the usual siri voice.

Is the bracelet that you purchased separately the one that has the magnetic clasp? 3. Does anyone know if one will be able to change the Siri voice? The salesperson that assisted me had little knowledge about VO and which voices would be on the watch. She stated that the gestures would be the same, the battery life would be the same between the 38 and 42 mm screens (which remains to be seen), and that the scrolling speed with the crown would be controlled on how fast one moved it.

Just got back from the Apple store, after a Taxi ride, train ride and a 45 minute walk. So the representative took me to the table and bought the selection of watches to me. Before I felt the watches, I asked him if he could enable voice over for me. He told me that all the watches were demos and there was a set demo program. He said that Accessibility was not on these watches. When I asked him why, he said he could not tell me. So first of all, I took the silver sports watch in my hand. The watch was very light. In fact, it felt like a normal sighted watch, something that a woman would wear. The 38 Millimetre watches are for women. I thought it very elegant and for the fact that I could remove the straps myself without having to go to a jewellers was a plus for me. If a strap was broken for instance, you'd pay at least £3.99 to get another strap. I also felt the melanese bracelet. I asked if one could buy the bracelet if you had a sports watch and they said yes. I then felt all the straps and the stainless steal watch. That I thought was definitely for a man as it was heavier and thicker. The person told me that it was thicker because of the crystal saffire glass. My only disappointment was that I could not hear voice over. The person who said that the steal watch felt like a toffee, I could understand that and I'd not go for that model. I'm going to purchase the Silver sports watch along with the Bracelet. For those of you who are not in favour of the watches, do not have to buy. I know someone who said to me that they were not going to buy the watch, but low and behold, is getting the watch now. I knew he would. Now I've seen the watch, I'm looking forward to mine. I'm not mad on Apple products but like Apple because of the accessibility built in. If I were sighted, I'd have a choice of what I could have as my gadgets but for the fact, I am limited as to what I can have, i.e. a Braille watch, or a normal conventional talking watch. I had a Braille watch for than 20 years but they would always go wrong, perhaps because of my hair or my dog's hair, I don't know. I hate the conventional speaking watch because of the voices. If Alex is on my Apple watch then I'll be pleased. Just one more thing to ponder, can you pair a braille display as the watch has bluetooth!

Choose Update. This will take you into your browser and directly to the latest Flash installer. I usually just press tab until the Install Now link is read, then I press return.

Tim and David, Thanks for your suggestions. Pressing space bar on the license check box and then on the install button certainly got me further. I then type in my computer password, press ok, and then the installer just says installer ready and there's a close button and a done image, with no area to interact with so no progress bar to check if it's actually installing.

Re: How do you update Adobi on the Mac using VO?
Oh looks like it installed after all. I'm now running the latest update according to system prefs. It was not clear anything had actually happened during the installation. Pressing space bar on the buttons certainly helps. And you can't always rely on vo f 5 to tell you the truth either. It said the button in question wasn't under the mouse, but when I pressed space bar on the button it did activate the button I was trying to activate. So something weird is going on there. Thanks for your help guys. I'll know what to do for next time.

You tend to have to use shift vo space to activate the buttons. so it might be worth doing this as well to see if it prevents you being dumped out of the install app.. 2. The install tends to throw up helper htm windows with messages like close Safari to complete the install and other things. These can remove focus from the install app so you need to use Window Chooser to interact with these windows and respond to them.

Re: How do you update Adobi on the Mac using VO?
Hi Tim, Ok so I'm in the system prefs, and do have a flash player button. When I press this, the advanced tabe is automatically selected. I don't see anywhere what version I've got installed. There's just an check for updates button. the adobe installation helper area says content is empty. It's totally weird. Please can you tell me how to check for my version?

Re: Upgrade from iPhone 5 to iPhone6?
Hi there, For the person wanting the screen protector with dots for the iPhones, they are made by speeddots.com and are sold by them and lots of other vendors. They have two models: a standard and an advanced. The www.speeddots.com website is the one I've always used, and explains everything very clearly. Good luck.

It's not like upgrading from a 4 or 4S, where you're stuck on iOS7 and modern apps cause your device to run really slowly. The 5 is a capable device, though time will tell what iOS9 does to it, and if you're replacing it but it still works, I'd wait.

Re: Something that majorly bothers me about Apple
Chris, You probably need to calm down a little and, as others have said, go tharough the proper channels and work your way up like the rest of the employees. People who go off on rants may not be considered suitable anyway. Sorry if that seems harsh but that's how I see it. Having knowledge and a desire to work for somebody is one thing, but having the maturity is quite another. You could always start by doing what other blind people have done and get apple certified. I don't know anything about this, but I know blind people have done it. It takes hours of study and commitment. If you had that qualification, maybe Apple would look at you when you approach them through their employment division or respond to an advert hiring for jobs in your local area. Cheers Lisette On 20/03/2015, at 8:01 am, Christopher-Mark Gilland clgillan...@gmail.com wrote: First off, this isn't a complaint, nor is it a drama rant, as much as it's just something that really has me a bit unsettled. So don't worry. If you're not for reading, excuse the language, bitch session mail, then don't worry! I promise that is not at all the nature of the following message. I cross my heart, so please just hear me out on this. I was eating breakfast this morning with both my grandmother and a very very dear friend of mine who is a next door neighbor. We all three got to talking about the job industry and how with my expertees, and with my level of technical skills when it comes to Apple products both from an accessibility standpoint as well as just in general, how I really probably could be a major benefit to the Apple user consumer market. I confess that I have considered employment through Apple several times before, but I guess I never really took it all that seriously. I mean, I did, but I didn't. Anyway, long story short, I got to thinking about our discussion once I got back home. the more I thought about it, the more I realized that they are right. I really could! make a difference, most likely. So, I started brainstorming what department would I probably do the best at, and do I feel needs a team leader as myself. Naturally, the more I thought about it, the more I kept coming back to the Accessibility department. So, I finally said, ok, I'm going to give Apple Accessibility a call, and just see what exactly the criteria would be. Obviously, I'd have to move either to Austin or somewhere in Calafornia. That goes without saying. I'd very much be willing to do either, if it meant me getting hiered. So, I called and, ironically, got another gentlemen named Chris... go figure. Anyway, this is what bothers me big time! I asked him what the criteria is. He was incredibly, and I do mean incredibly! cryptic. He really wouldn't go into even the slightest bit of detail. He basically said, I'm not authorized to tell you this information. I'm like, ok, I'm not asking for you to give me the whole novel rundown. I'm only asking from a very general standpoint. Obviously, I'd have to transfer my geographic location to where one of the call centers are... that's inevitable. He's just like, well, yeah? You would... I'm like, ow'w'w, kayyy? and... what about training? I presume that I'd be required to get several weeks worth of training, wouldn't I? He's like, that, I cannot go into. I told him, OK, sir? I live in North Carolina. If it wind up being Calafornia that I have to move to, that is almost all the way on the other side of the country.

Disk permissions repair
Hi folks, I just did a permissions repair and everything said it was repaired except this first row which reads Warning: SUID file “System/Library/CoreServices/RemoteManagement/ARDAgent.app/Contents/MacOS/ARDAgent” has been modified and will not be repaired. I'm not highly technical so haven't a clue what this means. I've no idea what this file is or how it could have been modified? Should I worry about this or leave it alone. The Mac seems to be working fine. Thanks for any guidance on this. Cheers Lisette -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups MacVisionaries group.

Re: VoiceOver voice hotkeys not working
Hi Phil, It said default voice in Mavericks too, I'm sure it did. If you are not using the default voice settings for your VO then changing the default rate won't change your voice. I use the default voice for everything pretty much so changing the rate does change my overall voice speed. But you can use different voices within VO which are not default. Hope that makes sense. good luck in your investigations in VO utility.

Re: 2 quick questions about IPhones as looking to upgrade
Hi Eleanor, I have the iPhone 6, and it works fantastically. I have no vision, so don't need the bigger screen of the 6 plus. I personally find the 6 plus way too big for me, so the 6 does me nicely. People say the battery life on the 6 plus is significantly better, but that wasn't enough of an incentive for me to buy it - I just don't want such a monster sized phone. I'm sure others will chime in with the opposite opinion. I think both phones work very well for blind people, so it comes down to whether you want the extra size, better battery life and bigger price tag.

Re: Handoff between MBP and iOS
Hi Jenine, It's not going to be much comfort to you, but I have not got hand off to work on anything yet. I can receive calls phone calls on my mac, I can send text messages from my mac via my phone, but I can't start a message on one device and finish it off on another.

Re: Changing email address
Hi Angus, I think you might need to do the following to fix your problem: 1. From within mail, go to the menu bar with vo m, and choose the window menu. Go down there and choose previous recipients. 2. From there, you will see a table with all the people to whom you have sent emails. Interact with this and find any you want to remove. I think this is what Mail uses to auto complete in the first instance. Once you have selected an email address, uninteract with the table and move to the right to the remove button. Next time, your correct Denise from the contacts can be typed in without auto complete getting in the way.

Unable to increase volume sometimes under Yosemite
Hi folks, just wondering whether anybody else has trouble increasing the volume on an MBA? Sometimes, and it's just happened again, after opening the lid, I'm unable to increase or decrease the volume using fn plus f11 and 12. Most of the time it works, including hearing the audible volume up and down sounds. But often I am unable to increase or decrease it. I don't know whether this is a VoiceOver thing or just a Yosemite bug, so am not sure to whom I should report it. By the way, the new MBA is so much faster than my old Macbook Pro from 2011. It's a joy to use the Mac again, where it was getting frustrating and slow using the old one. It would take 10 seconds to open a programme on the old one. Migration assistant worked like a charm and I'm very happy with the new machine. It's very snappy. I increased the ram to 8 gb, and left the rest as is. And I even managed to format the old one and reinstall the OS, pretty much all by myself. I was impressed there was speech throughout. And I was pretty nervous about doing it by myself, but it's definitely possible even for me. Lisette -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups MacVisionaries group.

Re: Deleting photos permanently from photo stream
Hi Tim, Thanks for explaining this. I find the whole photo stream versus camera roll thing deeply confusing, and so do many sighted people I know. Because camera roll opens up the photos app it's sometimes difficult to know where you are deleting something from. Thanks for your explanation though.

If PhotoStream is enabled from within iCloud on your iOS device, when you snap a picture, one copy is put into your Camera Roll and one is placed into the PhotoStream for instant sharing amongst your devices. Similarly, if you delete it from PhotoStream, it will delete it from all devices that are using that PhotoStream, but not necessarily from the Camera Roll. A caveat to this is that if you have iPhoto on your Mac set to copy your PhotoStream photos into events, then that copy will remain intact, only the PhotoStream copy will be deleted.

up specking a new MacBook Air
Hi folks, I'm thinking about purchasing the 11 inch MBA. Am I right in thinking that adding more ram will be more beneficial to a blind person than upping the processor from 1.4 to 1.7? Would 8 GB of ram be enough in the 11 inch, 256 Flash drive model? Does the added processor speed really make a difference if you're not using many graphics? Will I notice any improved speed from my 2011 MBP which is slow at opening programmes sometimes. It really gets expensive adding processor speed and ram. Any thoughts welcome. Also, like the other person, I really need simple instructions about how to clean my old Mac for a new user.

Re: Sending e-mail to multiple recipient
Hi Andrew, I just did this yesterday using comma successfully, Just ignore the auto-correct and type the person's name, then put the comma.

Re: Dropbox in Yosemite
Hi Andrew, Well it just shows you should always go for the tried and true fixes first. I just did a restart and now everything is syncing again. Thanks for the tip though about going into the dropbox account via the contextual menu. I'll remember that for next time. When in doubt, do a re-start.

Downloads notification question
Hi, I'm not sure quite how to explain this, but here goes. In Mavericks, I had my mac set up to let me know whenever a new file was being added to my downloads folder so I knew a safari download had started and finished. Now, under Yosemite, often the dialog box is there, asking me to press enter whether I want to view the new file or not, but there's no alert associated with it. The box just appears and I can be typing away in an email without realising it's there. I'd just like to be alerted properly about it. I've looked in finder preferences but don't see anything there about notifications. Please can somebody tell me whether I can tweak this so it's back to how I want it if possible. Hopefully this made sense to somebody. Cheers Lisette -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups MacVisionaries group.

Re: Yosemity Itunes
Hi, I've just updated to Yosemite and am having a bit of trouble with iTunes. How do you see songs in your playlists? I can select the playlist in the table, but can't find the actual songs. I'm not finding these iTunes changes particularly wonderful, as it's slower to navigate around, but I guess I'll get used to it. It's all accessible, just less intuitive to me. I hope somebody does a podcast on navigating iTunes or something as I would find this really helpful. By the way, I'm on a 2011 Macbook pro using Karen with very little lag.

I just learned if my focus is in the store, the command-numbers will bring me to that section of the store. Command-1 music, command-2 movies, command-4 podcast, and so on. Lol, I found it tricky to get back to my music, until I remember the lovely item chooser. Hit command-1 to focus on the music page, then VO-i for item chooser. Begin typing myMusic and the my music radio button will show up, enter on that and you are focussed the my music radio button, activate it. Command-B is still around for the column browser, I for one use this feature often.

Whether Apple is sliding or not is certainly a matter that could be debated but it is true that some things are being done differently than we were used to and while some of them may be fixable bugs some things are permanent changes that we will have to learn to work with. This will be true no matter what system you use. Since anybody who didn't run the beta didn't get Yosemite until yesterday sometime, I would give it some time and work before I abandon it as garbage.

iPad orientation question
Hi all, I'm asking this on behalf of my husband who is also a voice over user. His iPad is locked to landscape orientation, but whenever he goes into spotlight the keyboard goes into portrait orientation. Is this a known bug in IOS8?

Re: KNFB Reader iPhone App
Donna, I'm not Kevin but bought the app last night. On my first picture, I got 100 per cent accuracy of an entire credit card statement which obviously has lots of numbers and weird abbreviations. I spent about a minute lining the document up and then took one picture and it was perfect! I never had anything close to that with Prismo, Text Grabber or Text Detective. I rarely got the whole document there, whereas KNFB Reader helps you line it up if you want it to. It also does images and pdf images, so it is definitely worth it for me. I'm now sorry I wasted the money on those others, but it was all there was at the time and they served their purpose. KNFB Reader is now the only OCR app on my phone. It takes about 2 seconds from when the picture is taken to when it starts reading, and I'm using an iPhone 5 at this stage.

CB Baltimore, Maryland (September 18, 2014): The National Federation of the Blind, the nation's leading advocate for access to print by the blind, has applauded the release of KNFB Reader, a new app for the iPhone and other Apple iOS devices, which uses the phone's camera and state-of-the-art optical character recognition (OCR) technology to give the blind instant access to the contents of print materials. Members of the National Federation of the Blind have worked with K-NFB Reading Technology, Inc., which developed the app along with Sensotec, Inc. KNFB Reader is now available in the iTunes app store. Mark Riccobono, President of the National Federation of the Blind, said: The National Federation of the Blind has been involved for forty years in the development of technology that helps blind people to acquire access to the various print materials that we all encounter from day to day. Ever since our first collaboration with Ray Kurzweil to develop the Kurzweil Reading Machine, which was the size of a household appliance, we have been interested in the development of better and more portable reading technology. Print on office documents, flyers, letters, menus, labels, and throughout our environment is still a part of everyday life, even with the increased electronic transmission of documents. Now revolutionary technology that resides on the phones that many of us carry each day provides instant access to the printed word. We can hear our mail or the menu at our favorite restaurant spoken with the iPhone's built-in text-to-speech technology, or read it in Braille with a refreshable Braille display. This app will fundamentally change the everyday lives of many blind people, helping us to get the information we need and live the lives we want. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups MacVisionaries group.

For instance, it says to do the right hand first. If you do the left hand first, it seems to put the dots in the right place. However, I heard VO say dots calibrated, and I got dots in weird places and they seem to be misorganized.

I was very fast with embryo, but I must be doing something wrong because I can't make the keyboard work with braille. Anybody who's tested this thing know what we might be doing wrong to make this thing work? For one thing, I think maybe that I'm not fast enough to calibrate my dots. I keep getting the opposite was that I want. For instance I want dots 456 to be on the right and that's 123 to be on the left, and I can't get in the backward.

And it took me a while (and someone else's explanation) to fully understand it. If you've got a *really* good grasp on the keyboard, or have some usable vision, it might be great. Essentially, when you tap a key, the key types. And by 'tap, I mean a real tap, with absolutely *no* extra time from when your finger makes contact to when you let go. This means that the keyboard acts exactly like it does for sighted folks when VO is off. However, if you hold your finger on a key, it will speak, just as though you had traditional or touch typing enabled instead. That way, you could use split tap if you really wanted.

Re: voice over not working on i phone, help!
Hi, To add to what others have said, this happened to me last week also on an iPhone 5. I discovered that voice over was working perfectly well with ear buds in, but not without them.

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.

Re: Amadeus Pro file joining question
Jenine, I'm no expert on this, but sometimes I've done exactly what you describe, listened back and only heard the one file.

I'm not sure if they will pick up with this app or start over with something else. I forget the name right now. I think there are a couple groups getting into this game so I hope somebody gets going with a successful business model so we can have something more reliable.

Re: notification center
Jean, I think somebody answered your question about the image reports of no faces earlier. It's in the VO Utility / speech / help tags. By setting it to do nothing, help tags, which is what those image descriptions are, will not be announced. You won't get any other help tags announced either though. I think there is a keystroke to have the help tag spoken on the fly which I can't find right now. I can't answer your question about the notification centre, sorry.

Re: how can i transfer all my icloud photos on my mac?
Hi, I've been wondering about this too, so am asking another question. So if my photos are on my Mac in photo stream, do I have to import them into iPhoto in order for them not to be deleted when I delete a photo from my phone's camera roll? I've been copying them to another pictures folder I made just to be safe, but don't want duplicates if I absolutely know they will remain in iPhoto even if I delete them from my phone.

Re: how can i transfer all my icloud photos on my mac?
Hi Tim, Thanks for this. I did see some of those earlier posts but still don't understand what you mean by the following: If she deletes them from the PhotoStream, then they will be removed from the PhotoStream Library on your Mac too. How do you delete something from your photo stream on an iPhone. I thought you could only delete them from your camera roll, but does this still leave them in the cloud somewhere? Still slightly confused but hopefully this helps somebody else too.

Re: expanding andfolders in list view
Hi Dave, So what's the difference between opening and expanding. I mean, if you open something, why does one need to expand it as well? I find some folders in Finder need expanding, and others don't.

Re: iSee - eBook on how to use Apple products from a blind perspective
Hi, Coming late to this, but I absolutely agree. It's the worst example of iBook accessibility I've ever seen. Pity, because it's a great book but really very difficult to read with VO. Personally, I would not have released it in this state. Sorry if that sounds blunt, but it's how I feel.

Re: Experience Switching to Mac
Another deficit on the Mac is braille translation and music braille translation. I have to continue to use Windows for this. I have also not found a way of importing my old Outlook Express emails into Mac Mail. Supposedly some expensive apps do this, but it's not guaranteed to work so haven't spent the money. Wy Apple doesn't make this work I don't know. That said, I love the Mac and use it exclusively for my personal needs. It's just some professional tasks I still need Windows for. This includes word processing which I, too find clunky on the Mac. But, maybe I need to take a course and learn it properly.

I want to like and use pages, but I can't figure out styles and formatting using pages. I still haven't found anything that compares with MS office and JAWS for writing and formatting documents. JAWS really does work well with Word and there's no getting around that. Pages seems clunky by comparison, but I probably haven't given it a fair chance. Spreadsheeting with numbers is great, but word processing is still a major deficit on the Mac in my opinion.

I too, had to have my activations reset a number of times as well. And what got me really interested, and wanting to go to the Mac, is the fact that we can do complete reformats, and OS installs with VoiceOver. Even with the unattended install scripts that are out there for Windows, and that Winstaller app, which has become popular now, we still have nothing close to being able to get the OS, and do an install with full speech, or even Braille.

About ten months ago, I was declared legally blind. I have been on the search for a full diagnosis and prognosis since. No luck. In December, when my Windows 7 machine became totally unstable, and had been reformatted three times in less than a month, I bought a Mac. I figured, if I had to learn a screen reader, it was best to do so on one where the screen reader came built in. So far, no luck learning how to use the screen reader though. I can turn on and off. That's about it. I have a 40 page list of random commands, and can't figure out what any of the are supposed to do. A dictionary would help. Perhaps the lines above or below that don't make sense are supposed to tell me what they do? I used to be a web designer, and I thought a screen reader should be easy to learn to use. After all, I'm good with with computers. I'm also horrible with foreign languages, and figured braille would be impossible to learn. I started the first contracted braille book I'm reading last night. I started learning braille last November. I still use a Windows 7 computer at night. It takes about 15 minutes to turn on, and every scroll of the screen takes forever. I don't count on it for anything.

Why did you switch In the first place? Having switched, do you feel that it was the right choice for you? Do any of you regret having switched or have you even gone back to the PC?

Re: 30-second Delay Before Voiceover Speaks Time
Hi, I get about a 5 second delay when I invoke the right option t command. This only happens the first time. Then it's under a second. I don't have speakable items on. I'm on a 2011 macbook pro.

deleting addresses from autofill in mail
Hi, Hopefully somebody understands what I mean here. How can I delete recently sent-to email addresses from mail? I don' mean in the contacts, but somewhere in mail there's a place you can see a table of all email addresses the Mac knows about and you can delete them. This stops mail auto filling that particular email address. I can't find it for the life of me now. Any help appreciated.
