Subject: [macvoiceover] file carver (an all purpose editor)


Hello all.
I found a program I've been playing with for the past few weeks, and I'm happy to report, that except for a few buttons not being labeled, the application is nearly 100% voice over accessible (at least the parts I tested) There are a few field types we'll need to avoid (such as spinner) but otherwise, you can edit almost anything using file carver. Entering data is straight forward (though vo doesn't talk specifically during typing in the edit fields) and new file types can be defined to handle just about anything you like. I'd imagine (given enough knowledge and time) this could be used to edit mp3 file tags as well, though I don't know enough about mp3 headers to create such a definition for the program.
In any case, you can download and try a 30-day trial at:

I'm currently using it for several things such as a book shelf (modified the default definition that came with it since it's spinner page type didn't work, and I don't care how many pages are in a book anyhow) and a shopping/grocery list, as well as keeping track of various programming tasks, and more. It really can act as a database program, even a spreadsheet with limited capabilities if you need that sort of thing.

Hope this helps some, and please do post here if you have problems using it, as I'm fairly sure I've found work-arounds for most of them.
