Mac

hello all, as I'm a student, hence need to deal with many PowerPoint presentations every day to read and prepare my notes using those, also I need to creat some of the ppt's for my classes.
looking for some of the best ways to read ppt files properly. I have tried reading with keynote and ms powerpoint, I don't no, is there some accessibility issues with those apps, or I'm not able to utilise them properly.
giving up on the converting each of the presentations to pdf or word idea, as it is a tedious task to accomplish for each file.

Hello,
On Microsoft Windows, atleast with the screenreader I have used on there I had an option to mark the start and end of the text selection block, like in Reaper or other audio editing programs.Does such selection method existon a Mac? If so, howdo I go about using it?

anyone using CrossOver on Mac OS?

and if so, how's the accessibility?
does it work well with voiceober?
CrossOver is a commercial software program that allows Mac, users to run Windows applications and games natively without needing a Windows license or a virtual machine.

Hi. I'm searching for handy IOS and MacOS extensions, so I thought I'd ask, what would you recommend? I have an Imac and an iPhone 10s.

Hello everyone. I have recently got a new Mac book. I love playing Mud games on my old windows computer. I was wondering if anyone had any good recommendations on Mac based Mud players? The few I have downloaded don't seem to work with voice over. Also the one posted in the Mac app sections doesn't seem to be available anymore. Thanks guys.

Hi all
So I, like many here I imagine who frequent reddit have been using the dystopia app for IOS.
However, when it comes to trying to use reddit on the Mac, are there any good options? I know that old.reddit.com is a thing, however I still find it very confusing to navigate. Was wondering if there was an alternative, kind of like how there are apps like night owl or twitteriffic for twitter.

Hello Apple Vis,
I had a question to ask. I am wanting to record some videos that kind of require both the screen video, and the system audio. Does anyone has any suggestions, ideas, or solutions as far as what to use for this?
I have used Quick time, and I have tried the Sound Flower driver also. The issue I kept running into was when I chose Sound Flower. I could not tell what I was clicking on as the sound output was changed. Therefore not allowing me to see what i am clicking on.

I would like to have a mac software performing the following functions:
-fully accessible with voiceover
- can alter the speed of a audio track, say if speed increase, the voice will become high pitched like a little girl and if the speed decreased , will become like a old old men and is very low in pitch (similar function is found in goldwave of Windows)
- can have a voice changing effect, making your voice recording changing from a male voice to a female or a cartoon voice etc
- the edited one can be exported into audion files

Helo.
Just wished to know if any one is facing issues with apple mail.
I found out today that my inbox for one of the 3 email accounts is not visible and it's emails are mixed up in one single forlder with all inbox emails from all 3 accoutns.
The fun part is that rest of the 2 accounts show their folders properly.
Is this due to some broken accessibility, apple mail issue or is it that I have accidentally. done?

Now, I know chat gpt is pretty accessible as long as we refresh the page on safari.
Has any one got luck using grok?
Basically I tried using, but it does not seem streight forward like ChatGPT.
Basically I am not able to read responses or shall I say, navigate responses line by line or word by word.
Also I am not able to navigate where the response content exactly appears.
I was trying using Chrome.

Hi all,

I've loved my Mac since I switched in 2010, but I've never been good at making documents that look pretty, even when I used Windows all the time. lol There are several ways to get good training on how to use MS Office in Windows with a screen reader. For example, FS has webinars on using word/power point/excel with JAWS, and there's also the cisco academy. Thing is, I don't wanna have to buy a copy of Windows 8 and Office and BookCamp it just to do that.

hi everyone, I know that element for macOS is accessible. But what other accessible messaging clients are there for the matrix messaging network if any? I would be interested to see what alternatives are accessible? Thanks very much for your help in advance everyone :-)

I absolutely love the Alison voice. With my hearing, Alison is by far the clearest and easiest voice to understand.

But Alison comes with a boatload of quirks. I've reported these to Apple, but in release after release, they remain unfixed. Here are two.

Hi all. Can't remember who put a link up but i found a game which I thought was on the Mac, frog's princess. It wasn't and I ended up deleting it after not being able to get it to cooperate with direct touch. Does anyone know any games for the mac that aren't on the app store? They can be but i'm just curious. I've running a Mac m1. As for genres don't worry I'll figure out that aspect myself. Thanks. Btw, I meant the princess game was on the ipHone. but the Mac I'd really lke to find something.

Hey guys,
For those of you who (according to public opinion) were unlucky enough to have a macbook with the touch bar, how is the voiceover experience with the touch bar itself aside the fact that the function keys for voiceover are replicated with globe+number rows? Like is there at least one nice thing this touch bar provides you with?

I'm wondering if anyone has recommendations on accessible scanning apps for the Mac? I have been playing around with Prizmo but unless I have a setting misconfigured or something, I'm finding it hard to read documents fluidly because everything seems to appear in a table with each row being a separate paragraph or something. I realize that many people are just using their phones to scan these days, but I need relatively accurate scans of multi-page documents and still think a scanner is the easiest, most consistent way to get that done.

Hi all,
I'm looking for a better way to make decent quality recordings of my iPhone screen, including audio from both the iPhone and my own voice. I'd like to play around with including video of myself in the corner of the screen, or with transitions, too.
What I've generally being doing to date is just using the screen recording feature on the iPhone itself, and including the microphone.
But as I say, I'm curious to try some marginally more advanced stuff.

Hi all.

So I'm copying files. I can read the percentage fine usually, because it doesn't change as fast. But I see where it says "copying 238 megs of 1.2 gigs", that it will also give a remaining time estimate. But since those numbers keep changing, I usually can't get all of it read to find out what the remaining time is, for instance.

Hi,
Whenever I join a Facetime call on my mac, all other audio, from all output devices, that is neither Voiceover nor the call itself gets ducked around 20 DB give-or-take, and I'd like to disable that feature. I couldn't find any such option in System Settings, and googling for a solution gave me nothing.
Has anyone else run into this issue? If you have, have you found any way to disable this feature, or is it just hardcoded into the system?
Thanks!

Folks,

I was wondering if there’s any way to jump directly to the main content of a webpage. One case where this could be useful is when you want to quickly get to the YouTube search results. The results are marked as heading level 3, but so are the “Subscriptions,” “Explore,” and “More from YouTube” sections. So navigating by level 3 headings doesn’t help you reach the results quickly. However, the results are within the main landmark. I know there are shortcuts to move between landmarks, but is there a way to jump specifically to the main landmark? Thanks!
