Vision Impaired

Just a simple question. I am vision impaired and can't use a watch. I rely on my phone clock. Could someone there do a screensaver clock in LARGE numerals without the fancy shading- Just simple black bold letters.
It would make things so much easier for people like myself.
Both my son and I use Nokia phones for their durability and my slider phone displays large clear numerals for dialing. Why not the clock as well.

There's one here http://www.s60.com/life/mys60/myexclusives/exclusi​veutilities
Scroll to the bottom of the page and the last application is the "Clock Screensaver". However, it only works with the Nokia 3250, Nokia E50, Nokia E60, Nokia E61, Nokia E62, Nokia E70, Nokia N71, Nokia N73, Nokia N75, Nokia N80, Nokia N91, Nokia N92 & Nokia N93
That's right people, I'm back. Where have I been? I have been getting a life, away from this electric madness.

  • As a vision-impaired user of a 1.25GH ( 1.25MB RAM) iMac G4 I am very reluctant to try to install Leopard on it (running Tiger at the moment).  I want to have all my old non-Apple apps there.  Robert Davis.

    As a vision-impaired user of an iMac G4 (1.25GH and 1.25MB of RAM) I am very wary of putting Leopard on my system.  I know if I do a clean install I'll have to put all my software back on which would take me ages as I have stuff in OS 9 as well running in Classic, but if I do an archive install I know the Apple software will go in but what happens to all my other apps?  The preamble on the disk doesn't make this really clear.  If it is too difficult then I guess it's time for a new Intel model but I like the G4 as I can get my face right up in the screen without having to move the computer, something you have to do to with the new models.  Can anyone help - I don't want to be stuck for a month without a computer until my stepson comes back from holidays as he is head of IT at a school  school that run all Macs.  Please excuse any faux pas in this - I am new to the support community.

    You could use A&I, selecting Preserve Users and Network Settings. This should keep your third party apps but you will lose Classic and OS 9, which are not supported by Leopard. Before upgrading, I would also check to see which third party apps may not be Leopard compatible or will need updating.
    If you still want to proceed, you should definitely have a cloned bootable backup of your current setup, in case you need to revert, or find something possibly missing after you upgrade. I wouldn't make a move without one. I use Carbon Copy Cloner. You could keep the old setup that includes Classic and OS 9 on a separate partition on an external drive and still be able to work from that when needed.

    You might find some apps that are not Leopard compatible.
    You will also need enough free drive space to accomodate the new OS, as well as the Previous System Folder.
    I don't see why you wouldn't be able to get your face right up to the screen of any of the new iMacs. And you can have a much bigger screen, 27". But you will be stuck running Lion, which will try to turn your computer into a giant iPad. A refurb might still be able to run Snow Leopard.

  • Elements 12 manual for vision impaired

    I am wondering if there is another manual available for Photoshop Elements 12 with a larger font type?  I am unable to print pages with larger font and when trying to read on my ipad I am unable to increase the font size.  Is there assistance with the manual for the vision impaired?

    You might be better off downloading the PDF version of the manuals from https://helpx.adobe.com/photoshop-elements.html and using the ipad in-built reader to view them. Or if you don't like the in-built reader this article may help you pick an alterative - http://www.labnol.org/software/ipad-pdf-reader-apps/13807/

  • Application to make Adobe Audition compatible for vision impaired

    I'm working with someone who is blind and wants to use Audition. Any suggestions for tools or applications that are compatible? Jaws for Windows is not.

    Hi,
    At this time, Audition does not have support for screen readers, but I hope to resolve this soon.  Ensuring accessibility for sight-impaired users is important to myself and others on the team, and I'd love for them to be able to record and edit in Audition.
    If interested, please feel free to contact me at [email protected]  Once we can determine the scope and schedule, I'll certainly need to rely upon the feedback of actual users of screen reader tools to ensure our compatibility and support is adequate.
    Thanks!

  • Help for vision impaired?

    I purchased a white iphone 4  so I could find it in my bag,  then had to have a band around it to improve signal (black) to get 3 network.
    I want a case to protect it, which will prevent scratches and hopefully return it to white or another bright colour, but that will fit around  the band, and protect my phone. Apple say they can't tell me this information as they don't know if their products fit with the signal band they sold. Unhappy London apple user.

    You could've chosen to have a white "bumper" instead of a black one:

    And, unless you actually have signal problems, the bumper is not essential.

  • Vision impaired users

    My father has macular degeneration, has lost a good deal of his sight and expects to lose more, and is interested in a voice-controlled computer so he can use the internet and do a little work on some older computer material in a Microsoft Works database.
    His options are (1) to stay with his Windows machine (upgrade probably) using Dragonspeak and Jaws or (2) move to a Mac with VoiceOver and iListen.
    He has some Windows assistance from a helper but would have only my occasional help on the Mac, as I don't live nearby. There might be a Macophile locally, but we don't know of any at this point.
    Has anyone any opinions on the above choices or setups for this situation, particularly wrt to learning curve and patience required for either setup?
    Many thanks - Don

    Will investigate this as an option but I suspect that when the older working versions of skype are "Retired" unless some one finds a way to fool the skype servers in to thinking that we're running the new version all older versions that are working for us will be disabled leaving us with only the "New and Improved" unuseable UI that is the new Skype.
    The bigest insult is the sugger coated sappy web sites talking about "WHY" we're forced to update and that the new versions are better etc etc etc.   If thousands of people are screaming their digital heads off about the changes then something doesn't quite fit.
    I had a bad feeling when MS took over Skype.  I knew it was only a mater of time before something got messed up.  They have been known in the past for creating user interfaces that have caused many of their userbase to pull out their hair and even though it shouldn't be that dificult for a company the size of MS to include "OPTIONS" even if they're hidden in the back ground to most of their users.
    Between Windows 8 with the cell phone / tablet interface forced on PC users and the mind numbing blinding UI for Microsoft Office 2013 and Outlook.  
    People had been screaming in the forums about how bad the UI was for Outlook and Office with nothing done.  People with eye strain and headakes in the corporate world which is supposed to be MS's main userbase were LIVID!    It looks as though finaly after 3 years of complaning MS is going to be fixing WIN 8 and adding new UI options to MS Office/Outlook in the 2016 version...  I guess sadly we'll just have to wait 3 or so years for some one at MS/Skype to pull their heads up from where ever they are and look around and notice the concerns and voices of their users who are participating in the comunity to leave feed back.  So I guess I'll be able to start using skype again or at least be happy with the look of it some time in 2018.   Crossing fingers and toes.

  • Accessibility Options for the Vision Impaired

    Hello:
    I like the new browser, but I do not know how to make the menus any larger. Currently I have modified the fonts in XP to display larger fonts but when I installed Safari I did not neem to make a difference. I can make the pages larger with "Make text bigger" but the menus stay the same size.
    Am I doing something wrong here?!
    Thanks

    I just want to thank you for taking the time to reply. I never thought of a shuffle and it's a fantastic idea! Just turn it on and I don't have to worry about settings, like you said. They don't have a lot of memory, but I could get a few and mark them somehow as to the type of music---jazz, rock, etc. Thanks for the great idea!
    It's very kind of you to write back----
    You're right---it's not easy knowing I"ll be losing my eyesight. Believe it or not, I've been diagnosed with muscular dystrophy also, so I'll be losing the ability to walk and see. Therefore the thought of losing my music was almost too much to deal with.
    I'll go to the feedback site you listed and give my suggestion there also. I called the company, and was told by a rep that this site (discussion board) was the only place I could email or write to them about my idea/thought.
    You've given me 2 good ideas--thank you again for your kindness.
    Have a good day!

  • Help for a newly visually impaired iphone user

    I'm trying to help my dad who has recently lost most of his central vision. He has an iphone5 and is getting by with the tap and voice over options but I am sure there is more available that could help him? We're about to get him an iphone 6plus and I've read about KNFBreader, is there anything else that could help? Does anyone know if the apple store can help him with set up etc?
    Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
    Thank you!!

  • The new format on FF4 is confusing and difficult to use. Is there a setting where I can change it to show the FF3.6 format?

    Myself and several of my friends were discussing the new Firefox layout for Firefox 4.0, and we find it difficult to use. We would like to have the option of using the new Firefox with the old 3.8 layout. That would make it much easier to use. One of my friends is vision impaired and having become accustomed to the old layout, is finding it almost impossible to transition.
    I have uninstalled FF4.0 and re-installed FF3.8 so that I can have the familiar layout. Others are doing the same.

    If you do not like the new appearance of Firefox 4 then you can change some setting to restore the Firefox 3 appearance.
    You can right click the orange Firefox button to open the toolbar menu.
    * Click the Menu Bar entry to make the Menu Bar visible.
    * Click "Tabs on Top" to remove the check mark and place the Tab Bar at its original position just above the browser window.
    Firefox 4 uses a combined Stop/Reload/Go button that is positioned at the right end of the location bar.
    During the page load process it shows as a Stop button and after the loading has finished the button is changed to a Reload button.
    If you type in the location bar then that button becomes a Go button.
    You can middle-click that Reload button to duplicate the current tab to a new tab.
    In Firefox 4 you no longer have the Status bar that showed the padlock in previous Firefox versions.<br />
    The padlock only shows that there is a secure connection and doesn't guarantee that you are connected to the right server.<br />
    So you might still be connected to the wrong server if you make a typo in the URL and someone has claimed that mistyped URL.<br />
    The functionality of the padlock has been replaced by the [[Site Identity Button]] on the left end of the location bar.<br />

  • How to dowload an older version

    I am not technie-oriented. I want to download v.30 (actually I'd really rather go back to 28), but I have no clue how to do it. I tried copying the files from another computer to my new computer last night and got it set up and this morning its gone!
    I found these two links
    https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/install-older-version-of-firefox
    and
    https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/998480
    but all the explanations look like Greek (or Geek, lol) to me.
    I cannot find step by step download for dummies instructions.
    I got to the versions site
    https://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/firefox/releases/30.0/
    selected a version and found a bunch of files. But there is no 'download' button :-(
    I would really appreciate it if someone could provide me w/the how to for dummies instructions.
    I do understand that there is some risk involved, but I already downloaded v. 32 and found it awful. The font is so tiny and even tho I tried several different add-ons, including the classic theme restorer, nothing would increase the font or tab size. Plus it isn't compatible w/my favorite theme.
    Right now I don't have any version of FF since the one I installed last night has apparently disappeared.
    Thank you!
    PS, I do understand that making FF secure is critical, but all the other 'aesthetic' changes are not all that welcome and some actually cause inconvenience in that it takes more hand/mouse movements to do what I did before in less.
    I know ya can't please everyone, but it might help to offer more than one aesthetic version w/the security updates. (JMHO)

    Thank you cory. I did try the zoom & the no squint. I even went into something I found on the menu bar that allowed me to choose a minimum size font. Using one at a time and in combination, I got larger font everywhere but the tabs, which is where I really need it. Plus there was distortion in that the larger font (tried 13, 16 & 18) overlapped whatever it was near. I never could find anything that increased the size of the tabs to what they used to be in v. 30.
    Thank you for the link. I will try it now and let you know what happens.
    edmeister, thank you for your reply. I have been using FF since pre v. 3.6. I REALLY liked FF, (mostly v. 3.6 & 24. 28 was ok w/a bunch of add-ons to make it like the older versions). I would prefer to stay with FF because of its speed. And to be honest, I'm in the middle of setting up a new computer and don't want to have to take the time to familiarize myself w/a new browser.
    I also liked FF's simplicity and ease of modification. But they keep changing things and it's not so simple or even recognizable any more. And it's becoming time-consuming to modify. We now need more & more add-ons in order to get it back to the way we liked and were familiar with. BTW, (I have read many, many comments in the FF forums that reflect this.)
    The more add-ons we have to use, the slower FF becomes. Plus they don't always do what they say they do and/or don't always instruct how to modify. I detest IE because it's even slower and less customizable than FF has become. And I refuse to use chrome because it is too invasive (I.e. privacy-wise).
    I just want the old easy to use, faster, less cumbersome FF back!
    Something Mozilla designers/programmers might want to consider is that there are many people with some kind of vision impairment. And with the increasing baby boomer population comes eye and joint related issues.
    Soooooooooooooo, having a way to make the menu, tool bars & tabs & their font size (which get tinier and tinier) larger would be a great boon to all.
    Plus when programmers design things to be improved and it takes the end user more mouse/hand movements than what they used to be able to do in less, then that is contributing to repetitive motion injuries which affect the fingers, hands, wrists, neck, etc. And this doesn't just affect baby boomers; it affects everyone.
    And yes, I have sent my comments in before, but not sure it has hand any affect.

  • View widgets in full screen

    Is it possible to view widgets in full screen.  I have only been able to get the half screen presentation.  That is very cluttered and small for my older eyes.  Of course, I can click on pictures within updates and see those full screen, but I am talking about the top level facebook page for example.

    Not vision impaired, just getting older.  I just do not like the distraction of having something happening on the left hand side of the screen.  This makes the facebook widget unattractive to me.  I will just continue to use the computer instead of the TV.   Maybe a future enhancement?

  • Unresolved bug in adobe reader x with non-default windows zoom level

    This seems to have already been brought up here about a year ago: http://forums.adobe.com/thread/776060.
    I am using Windows 7 Professional 64-bit with Firefox 12.0 and Adobe Reader 10.1.3. Here is a description of the problem:
    Whenever I open any PDF file in a browser (firefox or IE) using the adobe reader I am unable to select text, save the file or interact with the content in any meaningful way because the plugin does not recognise my cursor position. If I click on some text in a PDF document, the reader will immediately highlight a region of text between where I clicked and where it thinks I started clicking from (above 20% of the screen above and to the left of where I actually clicked on the page). If I roll my mouse over the region where the dashboard normally appears, the dash does appear as intended and the cursor changes in response to hover over buttons, as if everything were working, but I am unable to click on anything (clicking does nothing). If I click and hold the dashboard when it appears, it immediately jumps to another region of the page, as if it thinks I moved the mouse (20% up and to the left again). I have recently reformatted and am now using a fresh install, and the issue remains. My desktop zoom level in windows is 150%. The problem appears only inside the browser; viewing PDFs directly in Acrobat Reader X works without issue.
    I can resolve the problem either of two ways:
    a) Reverting back to the default windows zoom level (125%).
    b) right-clicking on the Adobe Reader X icon, navigating to the compatibility tab and clicking "Disable Display Scaling on high DPI settings"
    The workaround is easy but it's disappointing that adobe hasn't fixed this. Please consider that it would mostly affect individuals who are vision impaired and might not have the know-how to resolve the problem or check for solutions online, let alone post comments such as this. As far as I can tell this problem severely impaires the functionality of adobe in any browser on any non-standard zoom windows installation.

    Please be sure to post your issue in the following Feature Request/Bug Report Form.
