Planning a VoiceOver Main Menu Review

Planning a VoiceOver Main Menu Review

[Luke Yelavich]

Hash: SHA1

Hi all
Some of you may know about ACB Radio, and the Main Menu technology 
program that they have once a week. I intend to put together a Main Menu 
review of VoiceOver, and I am looking for your input.

What do you want to know about VoiceOver? What do you want to hear 
demonstrated etc. If there is a lot of material, I will probably do it 
over several parts.

To prevent list conjestion, it might be a good idea to email me off list 
with your ideas and suggestions.

Please forward this to any other lists you are on with members who may 
be interested.

Thanks

VoiceOver is the screen reader that comes with the New Mac OS X 10.4 
release.

I think it would be interesting to see it used to explore the osx gui, 
and maybe do a little web browsing if possible.

RE: Planning a VoiceOver Main Menu Review

[Sina Bahram]

Yes, I would love to see it explore the internet.

Could you please illustrate first letter navigation such as by heading,
links, form elements, and so forth? It would be relaly nice to navigate a
field of radio buttons or something along those lines, as well as table
navigation.

Also ... I think that it would be a great benefit to hear the voice at an
extremely high speed for a little while, because most of us, if not all, do
not listen to our respective assistive  technologies at the default speeds.

Take care,
Sina

Re: Planning a VoiceOver Main Menu Review

[david poehlman]

Sina and all,

To save some time and effort, at this point in time, and possibly never 
because of the power of the interface, we don't have an implementation of 
"quick nav keys"  Speech rate can be highly subjective but I find relatively 
high speed with VoiceOver to be comfortable and for my use favorably 
comparable to pc software speech.

I'd like to see spotlight demonstrated.

field of radio buttons or something along those lines, as well as table
navigation.

Also ... I think that it would be a great benefit to hear the voice at an
extremely high speed for a little while, because most of us, if not all, do
not listen to our respective assistive  technologies at the default speeds.

Sina and all,

To save some time and effort, at this point in time, and possibly never
because of the power of the interface, we don't have an implementation of
"quick nav keys"  Speech rate can be highly subjective but I find relatively
high speed with VoiceOver to be comfortable and for my use favorably
comparable to pc software speech.

I'd like to see spotlight demonstrated.

Hi all
Just a note about hardware and software compatibility.

I don't mind trying to answer questions about what synths or sound cards 
etc may work, but it might be worthwhile doing some searching on Google 
about the Mac and PowerPC architecture, what Macs have come with since 
the NewWorld macs were first released in 1999, and the different 
processors used, and their differences and similarities.

Then, I would suggest doing some general reading about OS X itself and 
how the previous operating systems for Mac were different. You then 
might find things easier to understand when you hear about the various 
VoiceOver features and the Mac hardware and software that is available.

Re: Planning a VoiceOver Main Menu Review

[Jane Lee]

I'd just like to make it clear that VoiceOver is built into the Mac OS
X operating system, not a standalone program like speakup or Jaws. 
After Freedom Scientific and others gave up on the Mac platform
because of the even smaller market, Apple and their devs figured they
should do all of the accessibility work in house, and that's how
VoiceOver started.

You cannot, I repeat, cannot, port VoiceOver to another OS like
Windows or Linux.  It relies on the Mac OS too much.  This also means
that VoiceOver cannot work on an iPod.

On another matter, the cheapest Mac out there is 500 dollars, and is
called the Mac mini.  Since the new operating system came out on the
29th of April, as of now, if you go online or to a store and buy the
Mac mini, it will come with the OS and VoiceOver.  If you're planning
on going out maybe today or within the next week, inquire about
whether or not it comes with Tiger, which is the OS that VoiceOver
comes with, and not Panther just in case.  Be warned, the Mac mini
does not come with a keyboard, a mouse or a monitor.  This computer
was meant for PC and Mac users already with older computers that don't
mind keeping their old setups.  Mac laptops, such as the iBook or the
Powerbook, start at around 1000 dollars.

Voiceover is not an additional application that you have to pay for,
it comes with the OS, which is 129 dollars.  Some third party
retailers will have it at a discounted price, while schools, teachers
and college students will be able to buy the OS from Apple or a
university bookstore at the education price, which is 69 dollars.  A
"family pack" that gives you a license for use up to 5 computers is
200 dollars but has restrictions and only comes with one install disk.

Personally, I haven't been able to try out VoiceOver much on my Mac,
but I found that the accessible installation of OS X, the VoiceOver
enabled login menu and the overall integration makes it fun and easy
to use.  There's no serial number to install the OS and there's no
activation (like Windows) either.

If you have any specifics on how to use a Mac, go to the local Apple
retail store and ask one of the people there.  The genius bar at all
the stores should be able to help you out with setup (like turning on
VoiceOver for the first time).  If you have technical questions on
problems with your Mac, feel free to drop me an email :)  I can help
out with most of the smaller issues.

If you're looking for anything in particular though (about Apple,
their computers, anything, really) feel free to drop me an email.

VoiceOver is available during install, so the installation can be

Re: Planning a VoiceOver Main Menu Review

[david poehlman]

Put in the dvd, hold down the c key and turn on the Mac.  After the disk is 
loaded, press command+f5 and voice over begins to speak.  The first thing 
you will do is select your install language.  This is the language that will 
be used during the installation process and there after if you don't change 
it.  English is the default so you can press enter here because VoiceOver 
works with english only.  At this point, everything is available thorugh 
VoiceOver so you choose your settings for the install by using tab arrows 
and the space bar or leave them at their defaults.  Once the install 
finishes, you can choose a tutorial that teaches you how to use voice over 
to finish the customization portion of the install and beyond.

Subject: Re: Planning a VoiceOver Main Menu Review

I'd just like to make it clear that VoiceOver is built into the Mac OS X
operating system, not a standalone program like speakup or Jaws.
After Freedom Scientific and others gave up on the Mac platform because of
the even smaller market, Apple and their devs figured they should do all of
the accessibility work in house, and that's how VoiceOver started.

You cannot, I repeat, cannot, port VoiceOver to another OS like Windows or
Linux.  It relies on the Mac OS too much.  This also means that VoiceOver
cannot work on an iPod.

On another matter, the cheapest Mac out there is 500 dollars, and is called
the Mac mini.  Since the new operating system came out on the 29th of April,
as of now, if you go online or to a store and buy the Mac mini, it will come
with the OS and VoiceOver.  If you're planning on going out maybe today or
within the next week, inquire about whether or not it comes with Tiger,
which is the OS that VoiceOver comes with, and not Panther just in case.  Be
warned, the Mac mini does not come with a keyboard, a mouse or a monitor.
This computer was meant for PC and Mac users already with older computers
that don't mind keeping their old setups.  Mac laptops, such as the iBook or
the Powerbook, start at around 1000 dollars.

Voiceover is not an additional application that you have to pay for, it
comes with the OS, which is 129 dollars.  Some third party retailers will
have it at a discounted price, while schools, teachers and college students
will be able to buy the OS from Apple or a university bookstore at the
education price, which is 69 dollars.  A "family pack" that gives you a
license for use up to 5 computers is 200 dollars but has restrictions and
only comes with one install disk.

Personally, I haven't been able to try out VoiceOver much on my Mac, but I
found that the accessible installation of OS X, the VoiceOver enabled login
menu and the overall integration makes it fun and easy to use.  There's no
serial number to install the OS and there's no activation (like Windows)
either.

If you have any specifics on how to use a Mac, go to the local Apple retail
store and ask one of the people there.  The genius bar at all the stores
should be able to help you out with setup (like turning on VoiceOver for the
first time).  If you have technical questions on problems with your Mac,
feel free to drop me an email :)  I can help out with most of the smaller
issues.

If you're looking for anything in particular though (about Apple, their

Re: Planning a VoiceOver Main Menu Review

I think this was posted earlier, but you can get some older macs that will 
meet the min specs for tiger for under 500 dollars and they will often come 
with everything you'll need that does not cost extra beyond the basic 
system.  You will probably still have to buy the upgrade, but still you come 
out ahead.

If you buy a mac from an apple retailer that does not have tiger on it, you 
can buy the upgrade for $9.95.

I have a hard time conceivingg of a kernel based access as "stand

Still, but really tickles me is that you mention Speakup in the same
breath with JAWS, and you even mention it first.

:p  well sorry. 

the speakup/jaws thing is pretty funny though, i work more with jaws
than anything else, you'd think i'd mention it first.  hehe.

and david: you can get older Macs that can run tiger, but it's going
to run pretty slowly.  and the up-to-date thing only works if you

I am running OS X 10.4 with VoiceOver here on a Powermac G3 300, and for 
the most part, it is quite usable. It takes ages when collating a list 
of links or items in Safari, but that is the slowest thing I have found 
so far.

I am going to be getting a CPU upgrade soon anyway I think, but find it 
ok for now.

Re: Planning a VoiceOver Main Menu Review

If voiceover is built-in, does this mean you can configure/install a whole
operating system from scratch without sited assistance?  I don't know how more
built-in you could get then speakup which is patched into the kernel.  If you
mean comes with linux, well what comes with linux depends on you really.

Tricky is OK if it actually works. But that's excellent! Yay, Windows
can take a long walk off a short pier (eer?)! Course, I guess one has

Re: Planning a VoiceOver Main Menu Review

[Jane Lee]

If my memory is worth anything, all of the Apple laptops and the
consumer desktops (like the iMac and the eMac) all have built in mics
(they're not that bad either).  Where it's missing is in the pro
desktop Power Mac G5 line, but there there's stereo and optical audio
in.
And why not just run ppc linux on the mac(s)?

Re: Planning a VoiceOver Main Menu Review

[Sean McMahon]

Could the mainMenu review of voiceover also include some basic kind of getting
started commands for the mac?  In the old days of outspoken, mac had few
commands and usually you had to use them in combination with the menu interface
which meant physically moving the mouse and pointer via the keyboard.  I'd like
to see what has changed besides the obvious unix style command-line.

I have just installed Skype, and while I haven't participated in any

Re: Planning a VoiceOver Main Menu Review

[Kenny Hitt]

Hi.

Thanks for your message, but I feel I have to correct you on one point.
Speakup isn't a stand alone application.  It is build into the Linux
kernel.  Because of this, it will only work on a Linux system and is
useless on anything else.

Hope this helps.

yes, i got the point, and i now realize that perhaps i should have
been more clear, except I don't know how to explain it better.  argh.

dont shoot me for haphazardly writing emails

http://www.apple.com/macosx/uptodate/
lists all the computers that qualify for the up to date program, as
well as the terms.  seems that as long as it was purchased on or after
april 12 at an apple or apple authorized store, you'll get the DVD as
long as you still have proof of purchase and the whole package needs
to be postmarked or faxed by July 9.

And the only drawback to using older Macs is that it needs to have a
DVD drive.  A CD version of Tiger can be purchased for an additional
$10 from Apple, but it's a wise investment to get a DVD or DVD and
CD-RW drive for it.

I'd just like to make it clear that VoiceOver is built into the Mac OS
X operating system, not a standalone program like speakup or Jaws. 
After Freedom Scientific and others gave up on the Mac platform
because of the even smaller market, Apple and their devs figured they
should do all of the accessibility work in house, and that's how
VoiceOver started.

You cannot, I repeat, cannot, port VoiceOver to another OS like
Windows or Linux.  It relies on the Mac OS too much.  This also means
that VoiceOver cannot work on an iPod.

On another matter, the cheapest Mac out there is 500 dollars, and is
called the Mac mini.  Since the new operating system came out on the
29th of April, as of now, if you go online or to a store and buy the
Mac mini, it will come with the OS and VoiceOver.  If you're planning
on going out maybe today or within the next week, inquire about
whether or not it comes with Tiger, which is the OS that VoiceOver
comes with, and not Panther just in case.  Be warned, the Mac mini
does not come with a keyboard, a mouse or a monitor.  This computer
was meant for PC and Mac users already with older computers that don't
mind keeping their old setups.  Mac laptops, such as the iBook or the
Powerbook, start at around 1000 dollars.

Voiceover is not an additional application that you have to pay for,
it comes with the OS, which is 129 dollars.  Some third party
retailers will have it at a discounted price, while schools, teachers
and college students will be able to buy the OS from Apple or a
university bookstore at the education price, which is 69 dollars.  A
"family pack" that gives you a license for use up to 5 computers is
200 dollars but has restrictions and only comes with one install disk.

Personally, I haven't been able to try out VoiceOver much on my Mac,
but I found that the accessible installation of OS X, the VoiceOver
enabled login menu and the overall integration makes it fun and easy
to use.  There's no serial number to install the OS and there's no
activation (like Windows) either.

If you have any specifics on how to use a Mac, go to the local Apple
retail store and ask one of the people there.  The genius bar at all
the stores should be able to help you out with setup (like turning on
VoiceOver for the first time).  If you have technical questions on
problems with your Mac, feel free to drop me an email :)  I can help
out with most of the smaller issues.

If you're looking for anything in particular though (about Apple,
their computers, anything, really) feel free to drop me an email.

I'd just like to make it clear that VoiceOver is built into the Mac OS
X operating system, not a standalone program like speakup or Jaws.
After Freedom Scientific and others gave up on the Mac platform
because of the even smaller market, Apple and their devs figured they
should do all of the accessibility work in house, and that's how
VoiceOver started.

You cannot, I repeat, cannot, port VoiceOver to another OS like
Windows or Linux.  It relies on the Mac OS too much.  This also means
that VoiceOver cannot work on an iPod.

On another matter, the cheapest Mac out there is 500 dollars, and is
called the Mac mini.  Since the new operating system came out on the
29th of April, as of now, if you go online or to a store and buy the
Mac mini, it will come with the OS and VoiceOver.  If you're planning
on going out maybe today or within the next week, inquire about
whether or not it comes with Tiger, which is the OS that VoiceOver
comes with, and not Panther just in case.  Be warned, the Mac mini
does not come with a keyboard, a mouse or a monitor.  This computer
was meant for PC and Mac users already with older computers that don't
mind keeping their old setups.  Mac laptops, such as the iBook or the
Powerbook, start at around 1000 dollars.

Voiceover is not an additional application that you have to pay for,
it comes with the OS, which is 129 dollars.  Some third party
retailers will have it at a discounted price, while schools, teachers
and college students will be able to buy the OS from Apple or a
university bookstore at the education price, which is 69 dollars.  A
"family pack" that gives you a license for use up to 5 computers is
200 dollars but has restrictions and only comes with one install disk.

Personally, I haven't been able to try out VoiceOver much on my Mac,
but I found that the accessible installation of OS X, the VoiceOver
enabled login menu and the overall integration makes it fun and easy
to use.  There's no serial number to install the OS and there's no
activation (like Windows) either.

If you have any specifics on how to use a Mac, go to the local Apple
retail store and ask one of the people there.  The genius bar at all
the stores should be able to help you out with setup (like turning on
VoiceOver for the first time).  If you have technical questions on
problems with your Mac, feel free to drop me an email :)  I can help
out with most of the smaller issues.

If you're looking for anything in particular though (about Apple,
their computers, anything, really) feel free to drop me an email.

RE: Planning a VoiceOver Main Menu Review

[jim grimsby]

Hi, at one time fs did invest in a sdk for mac.  They decided not to
create a screen reader for it.  
Alva gave up on it as well.  And they did have a screen reader.
Synthavoice ask apple for a sdk and were told if they payed for it they
could have one.   Ibm did the same thing this is why they went with a
windows screen reader.

Well, Mac users certainly don't have a monopoly on computer
illiteracy. I probably know, or have seen, at least a barrelfull of
similarly-nequipped PC users...and I should know...I used to work in
tech support. 

But here's the thing. Do drivers of automobiles have to know how their
cars work? No...that's why God invented mechanics. And, for the most
part, the computer has become an appliance that you don't have to know
a whole lot about in order to use effectively. If Apple has actually
made one that you really don't have to understand in order to use,
that's fantastic...because that's what most people want. Not you and
me, maybe, but a lot of people. PC's are getting to that point, but
there are still a lot of things that we have to futz with, and if that
isn't so true on the mac, what's the harm? 

And to be fair, there are plenty of very computer-savvy folks who
know--use--and love the Macintosh. Because even with its simplicity
(so they tell me), there's an awful lot of power off in there,
too. Remember that OSX at its core is a Unix. And then there's the
PowerPC architecture itself. It's not for nothing that MHz for MHz the
PowerPC is more powerful at the slower speeds than their Wintel
equivalents.

because of the power of the interface, we don't have an implementation of
"quick nav keys"  Speech rate can be highly subjective but I find relatively
high speed with VoiceOver to be comfortable and for my use favorably
comparable to pc software speech.

I'd like to see spotlight demonstrated.

Yes, I would love to see it explore the internet.

Could you please illustrate first letter navigation such as by heading,
links, form elements, and so forth? It would be relaly nice to navigate a
field of radio buttons or something along those lines, as well as table
navigation.

Also ... I think that it would be a great benefit to hear the voice at an
extremely high speed for a little while, because most of us, if not all, do
not listen to our respective assistive  technologies at the default speeds.

Take care,

Will VoiceOver work on IPod, and / or the Apple pda, if an Apple pda exists?

Re: Planning a VoiceOver Main Menu Review

[david poehlman]

I can confirm from going on experience from yesterday what Apple have 
expressed on their web site about VoiceOver.  Mac osx tiger together with 
VoiceOver and other accessibility capabilities is powerfull.  I'm sure there 
are those who will not see this at least at first, but some like apples and 
some like oranges.

I think it is healthy though to have a fully disclosive discussion of tiger 
with voiceOver going forward from yesterday.

I think since Apple write this application, it would be. However I don't 
have a copy and don/t intend to get a copy.

Just because there is free software available for OS X, doesn't mean 
that other commonly known apps such as Pages, Keynote, Office etc come 
free with the OS, or are free to download.

I will indeed be reviewing ITunes, however at this stage won't be able

Since I have never used it I can only guess that it is a website, and

So, is this the answer to accessible X?

Although it is built into the apple os, how long will it be before it finds
it's way into the open source community.

Steven and all,

Not sure what you are after here, but VoiceOver will only run in the mac but 
the apis are freely available to mac developpers to do with as they choose.

As far as this being the answer to accessible aps, it is if developpers 
implement the accessibility apis.

I was looking at the site and I found that it costs 130 dollars for a single

Macs have come with on-board sound for many more years than PCs have. I 
know Creative did have a Sound Blaster Live for mac, but I don't know 
about the audigy. Don't forget as well that the only macs you could 
possibly use them with are the powermacs, which are not cheap.

Re: Planning a VoiceOver Main Menu Review

[Glenn at home]

Hello Luke,
I could review the RockBox firmware on an Archos JBR 20 MP3 player/recorder.
It is a 20 gig MP3 player/recorder that fits in the shirt pocket, and using 
the open-source firmware "RockBox" http://www.rockbox.org/ we can have 
almost total accessibility through talking menus and talking folder & file 
names.

Hi all
Some of you may know about ACB Radio, and the Main Menu technology
program that they have once a week. I intend to put together a Main Menu

What do you want to know about VoiceOver? What do you want to hear

Re: Planning a VoiceOver Main Menu Review

[Kenny Hitt]

Hi.

If possible, I would like to hear a comparison of web access using
VoiceOver vs Gnome and Mozilla.  The one area where Linux still has
issues is web access.

***WARNING***  I am not interested in replies debating this.  For me, the
fact people who are full time Linux users still keep a Windows box
around for accessing sites, or I have to ask my sighted girl friend to
help me by visiting some sites in her Mozilla is enough prooff.

Thanks in advance.
          Kenny

Certainly. While Mozilla has the carrot browsing mode, it is not that 
good. Whereas just about everything is accessible on the page with 
VoiceOver and Safari, but in a different manner.

I am the same, but now I think I will be using VoiceOver with Safari for 
browsing full-time.

Since it will cost less for me to buy a Mac than it would to update my
Windows screen readers, looks like I might be buying a Mac.

Re: Planning a VoiceOver Main Menu Review

[david poehlman]

If money is your only object, this is a prudent option, but if you still 
need to work in windows, you might want to try updating your screen readers. 
If you are really wedded to them and cannot stand the prospect of learning 
something new, then you might want to spend the extra money to upgrade your 
windows screen readers.

If you want to switch though, you'll be pleasantly surprised by the overall 
interface because it is not that different from that of windows.

I blew away my last Windows partition several years back.  I will only use
Windows again if forced at gun point.  I consider needing a job that

Sounds good.  I use Gnome, which is not much different from the Windows
interface either.

Re: Planning a VoiceOver Main Menu Review

[david poehlman]

from what I've heard of gnome, although it's gnopernicus access is getting 
better, it's not quite up to par with what I know of VoiceOver.

maybe we should put the command sets up for comparison.

33Hi,

There is a quick time presentation of voice over on the Voice over pages 
where you found the sounds.  The tiny files you downloaded are Itunes files. 
I'll send you a speech sample, What would you like it to say?

the speech is way better than any synth out there. i've used macs since 92
and although the first couple of vertions of the old screen reader of mac
had a robotic voice. the plaintalk voices (witch are the voice for voice
over) are the best quality voices out there. and get this, i've ben talking
litterally to my mac since 96 asking it the time, asking it to do this or
that and with supurb voice quality feedback on top of that. /off topic post

RE: Planning a VoiceOver Main Menu Review

[Steve Dawes]

Well, I would have to say that having listen to the demo, that the voice
chosen for the demo is not the best software synth out there. In fact, if
the demo is using the best that VoiceOver has to offer, then it has a long
way to go to catch up to the software synths that are out there in other
operating systems.

Re: Planning a VoiceOver Main Menu Review

[david poehlman]

the demo voice is not the best and the recording of it was not the best 
either.  Your mialage will vary with speakers and other factors including 
headphone quality.  Lots of people like eloq/viavoice and dec, I find them 
distasteul.  I do like some of the newer voices but they are cpu intensive.
