[Techno-Chat]: BrailleSense Polaris – HIMS

Hello everybody For me personally, this device is a little disappointing. Although much of the emphasis is on main stream accessibility, like it’s rival device the BrailleNote Touch, it lacks the inclusion of a mobile data access modem, be it GPS or whatever the user’s country requirements

RE: [Techno-Chat]: Apple Sees The Light!

Hello, I am just wondering where this news came from. I could be really wrong, but it's my understanding that Apple keeps these things pretty close to their chest until release time. There are lots of rumors. Please understand I am not saying anyone is lying. I had just understood for a

[Techno-Chat]: iPhone 8 (2017): Everything We Know | MacRumors

Hello Mary & all There are certain Apple Insiders who drop very large hints occasionally. I am bound by NDA, as you know, and would never divulge confidential information. More than my life’s worth! ;-) Anyway, here you go. The article doesn’t list everything, there will undoubtedly be small

Re: [Techno-Chat]: KNFB Reader For Windows 10

I guess that’s one advantage that those used to using cameras on other appliances have. I have trained people using applications such as OpenBook, with the Pearl Camera, Sara CE, EyePal Roll and EyePal Ace, not to mention the EseReader camera-based machine made by Rehan which is an Irish

Re: [Techno-Chat]: Sound Forge Pro For Mac offer

recCorrect. SoundForge isn’t what you’d call “Music” software. It’s more a sound creator/editors suite of tools. The only “Music” creation software that I know of for MacOS is ProTools. That’s what is used in most recording studios around the world, and, indeed, it is widely used within

[Techno-Chat]: Amazon Echo

Hello, I just got a 2nd generation Echo Dot last Monday (this is my first Echo). I have to say I am really loving it. So far I hink it's the best technology investment since my iPhone two years ago. It didn't take me too long to set it up. People told me the Alexa app was going to suck.

[Techno-Chat]: DTS Play-Fi: set your wireless music free!

Hi! This article/review on Play-Fi is a bit dated but still worth the read if you're into Wi-Fi, wireless music and streaming as I am. Personally I think Apple's Airplay is on the point of Retirement given there are so many better options such as Play-Fi available on devices now. I'm very

Just amazing what those Skills turn your Echo into, Google has a similar idea, I think they call it Collections? I could be wrong on that. Anyway enjoy! On 3/06/2017 4:14 AM, Stores, Mary A. wrote: Hi Dane, I have sent voice messages to people, and that is pretty cool. I will have to try

Hi Dane, I have sent voice messages to people, and that is pretty cool. I will have to try the old time radio skill though. I love Fibber McGee and Molly. Mary From: Dane Trethowan [mailto:grtd...@internode.on.net] Sent: Friday, June 02, 2017 1:45 PM To: Techno-Chat ... Technology

Re: [Techno-Chat]: Amazon Echo

The Echo can be configured via the web as well Mary. Just go to http://alexa.amazon.com and sign in as usual, I have battery bases for my Echo and Echo Dot. I also use the voice remote a lot. I listened in the garden to some of my favourite books yesterday and after 5 hours of continuous use,

Re: [Techno-Chat]: Apple Sees The Light!

The battle between Apple and Samsung is perhaps the most public one, a piece I read the other day pointed out just how complex the market for Smart Phones has become. Whilst - as you say - Apple and Samsung seem to get all the PR attention there are other manufacturers - notably from China -

[Techno-Chat]: The Smart Phone, more than it appears

I'm replying to this eMail again with some further thoughts. Okay you have Samsung and Apple, suppose as you say that they're the biggest players in the game, well that doesn't mean that either company has the best ideas and this is where I think it a worthwhile thing for any purchaser of a

I believe that Amazon Echo, Google Home etc are going to be devices that help shape our future. I was interested to read your observations on the Amazon Echo App, I have 3 Amazon Echo devices here, the main Echo, Dot and Tap, all of which had to be setup online through a web page given the

Re: [Techno-Chat]: Apple Sees The Light!

I was referring to the battle specifically between Apple and Samsung who, I think it’s safe to say, are the two most widely sold phone manufacturers. I won’t comment on other manufacturers as I’ve no experience. Regarding MacBook, they use USB3.0 and the new Thunderbolt 3.0 standards. Although

RE: [Techno-Chat]: Amazon Echo

Hi Gordon, I hadn't thought about getting battery bases. My Dot just plugs into the wall. I will definitely look into that. And thanks for the link. Mary -Original Message- From: Gordon Smith [mailto:gor...@mac-access.net] Sent: Friday, June 02, 2017 2:25 PM To:
