Weekend Roundup: OS X Things To Be Reading

By Ricky Buchanan • August 2, 2009

I’ve read a lot of useful articles recently and I thought I’d share some of these with you. They’re not all directly related to assistive and adaptive technology but they are all things I think that all Mac users should take a look at. This weekend I’ll share ones related to OS X, and next week the iPod/iPhone ones I’ve collected:

There’s a new blog worth watching - Minimal Mac - by Patrick R Hone. He’s writing about a “clean, uncluttered, distraction free computing experience”. Many posts are relevant to those with neurological and attention span problems such as users with ADD.

Deafmac writes about Recording iChat Audio and Video Chats with OS X Leopard.

MacTipper have compiled a Complete List of Default Multitouch Gestures for MacBook users. This list includes only programs that come with your Mac, so check the documentation for any third-party programs you use; or just try out the Multitouch Gestures and see if they do anything.

The MacTricks&Tips blog is writing a series entitled MacTricks&Tips 30 Day Guide – From Noob2Pro. It’s not yet finished, but looks like it will be interesting and potentially useful for those who are new and not so new to using OS X. Their week 3 tips round-up contains a list of all the tips they’d published to the end of the third week, or for a more up to date list you can check up the Noob2Pro Category Listing which will show you all the tips posted to date, although unfortunately in reverse order.

Tim O’Brien has compiled A Collection of Firefox Accessibility Add-ons focussed on those with low vision.

That’s all for this week! What have you been reading about recently? What would you like to read about? Leave a comment and let me know.

Control Your Cable Box With Your Mac On The Cheap!

If you’re a digital cable TV subscriber in the United States you may have noticed the FireWire port on the back of your cable box. The most common assumption about this port is that it’s something for service technicians only but it’s actually something you can use to control your cable box, if you ask the right questions!

The Ultimate MacSpeech Dictate 1.5 Global Commands List

MacSpeech Dictate is a great program but learning so many commands all at once can be very intimidating. I’ve put together a full list of all the known commands for MacSpeech Dictate 1.5.*, ordered by their function, to help you learn and remember them.

Morse Code For Computer Control: TandemMaster

The TandemMaster Morse-2-USB interface is a fantastic device which converts morse code entered by two switches into keyboard presses and mouse movements. It gives the user complete control of a computer, as much as any regular keyboard/mouse user would have and can be used on any computer, with no drivers or software needed to be installed on the computer itself.

SpeakingFox: Tell Firefox To Talk

Firefox generally doesn’t let you use a lot of OS X’s accessibility features, including the services menu and some of OS X’s regular keyboard shortcuts. Setting your Mac up to speak highlighted text when you press a key also doesn’t work in Firefox. The Firefox extension SpeakingFox fills this gap with some nifty context menu options to fill this gap.

Fiddle-Proof iPod For An Autistic Child

How would you organise an iPod so an child with autism could listen to his favourite music during car journeys but not accidentally press the buttons and turn off the music? I thought of a couple of methods, and would love to hear about others you’ve come up with yourself!

Voice-Activated Mouse Clicks with MacSpeech Dictate

One feature missing from the still-new MacSpeech Dictate program is the ability to control the mouse. This addition won’t let you control the movement of the mouse, but we can teach you how to use your voice for mouse clicks. For those who have the ability to move the mouse, this could make the difference between a usable computer system and an unusable computer system.

Juergen Manthey - Locked-In Syndrome

Accessible technology has changed Juergen Manthey’s life. Usually, somebody with his disabilities would be expected to exist in a nursing home and watch daytime television which they couldn’t even turn on or off without somebody’s help. Instead, Juergen is really living.

APHont: A Font for Low Vision Users

APHont is a font developed by the American Printing House especially for low vision users. APHont embodies characteristics that have been shown to enhance reading speed, comprehension, and comfort for large print users. You can install it for free on your Mac computer by following these instructions.

Getting Started With Mac OS X

All Mac users have been beginner Mac users at some point. Because the use of OS X is expanding so fast, there are a lot of new and inexperienced Mac users around at the moment. This is a wonderful thing for the Mac in general - it means there’s more users! Here’s some of the best resources I have to recommend to new Mac users.

MacSpeech Dictate Global Commands List & Cheat Sheet for 1.2.1

MacSpeech Dictate is a great program but learning so many commands at once can be intimidating. I’ve put together two documents to help you learn and remember all the global commands found in Dictate version 1.2.1.
