I do email, though I've gone back to Pine and Mutt just because I
like to see things in braille, but it isn't that there's a problem
with apple email or anything. I use a combination of firefox, shiira,
and safari for web browsing--there are strengths and weaknesses to
each but I can pretty much get anything done with the combination.
For audio I use Windows Media Player (no longer supported), flip4mac
quicktime components for windows media player (now supported instead
of wmp), realplayer, vlc, and audio hijack pro. I use audio hijack
pro for recording, timed listening to music and alarms, and I like it
very much. I make a lot of use of the business and people widgets of
dashboard for looking up addresses and phone numbers. I do use text
edit, though my editing needs are not complex; tried Nissus and
didn't like it at all but to each his/her own. I also use the
terminal a lot, but that is to be suspected since I have roots deep
in linux. I use sox wrap and itunes for converting audio files; also
iTunes for audible.com. I use visiovoice for converting from text to
audio and infovox-ivox for some better voices (in my opinion). I
don't much use Skype but I know some on this list do. I'm not happy
with my scanning results to date, though I think some on this list
have had more positive results than I. I use zterm to transfer files
between my mac and my braillelite. this is kind of a random list i
know and without details, but I think it probably covers what I do at
present. while i still also use my linux machines, if they quit on me
I could manage fine with the mac. I do use emacs and nano in terminal
for some editing, again because it allows me to see what I'm doing in
braille.
