Hi Chris.
Just working my way down my list of mails to read and respond to. I've been
meaning to get back to for about 5 days since your kind offer of telephone
support.
Chris. I live in Scotland so telephone conversations, from this side of the
pond, anyway, are very prohibitive with respect to that form of training.
Furthermore, I usually like to take important notes or record things during
training and find that text documents through JAWS, pressing the pause key
now and again, is my best way of learning.
But what I was thinking Chris. In view of your obvious experience and
extensive knowledge base, you would be of more help to someone like me on
one-off paid consultencies.
For example, I do have two practical problems, right off the bat. These are
namely:
1. My computer askes for a password every time it is wakened up.
2. VO is not on to prompt me to sign in on boot up for some reason.
I wish to get rid of having to log in entirely as it's pointless and as for
automatically going off to sleep, I think I'd really like to hold onto that
control and turn my computer off or send it to sleep if I want.
There is one other issue\:
My computer came with the magic mouse and magic keyboard. I hate the
keyboard.
I purchased, from the Apple Store in Glasgow, a longer apple usb keyboard
with arrow keys and numeric pad. A lovely keyboard and easy to feel your
way around. I still need to purchase an apple usb mouse though.
But I was thinking. At present I've two keyboards plugged in to my Imac.
One is a usb power cord and as far as I'm concerned the Magic mouse has no
way of recharging.
But in any case, surely I'd have to make some changes to settings to tell my
imac which type of mouse and keyboard I had plugged in.
So this is what I'm thinking of Chris. If you could assist me through step
by step instructions through email, then I could perhaps do a bank transfer
for something like£25.00. That's about $30.00.
What do you think Chris? Do you think a consultency along this kind of
model would be something you would be interested in? I should not use you
often but it would be reasuring to me and others I suppose if they were able
to seek out technical support at the point of need.
Let me know what you think.
Very best wishes.
Andy Logue.

Hi again Kimber.
Sorry to be a pest, but are you talking about a text document that I can
read on my computer or a paper-back book which requires sight?
If the former, would you have a url to the particular site or page?
very best wishes and sorry if I'm annoying everyone know with my
questions.
Very best wishes.
Andy.

Hi Kimeer.
where these books available as text files or Braille?
I ask because I never took to braille, given my poor sense of touch.
Very best wishes.
Andy.

Andy,
There are a couple of books available from the national Braille press that
will give you a good starting point. They are written by Janet Ingber and
are specific to the operating system you have. I bought the one written
for Yosemite and found it very helpful even though I am still running Lion
due to the age of my computer. This book was the best resource I found, no
lie.

Hi all.
I've jumped ship from Win 7 to a beutiful 27 inch Imac with Elcapitan and
I'm stuck.
I cannot for the life of me find affordable tutorials, in any format, to
get me started.
I bought the new computer and jumped ship because I was convinced that
there must be lpoads of training materials available to help me, but
unfortunately, the lovely shine is quickly leaving my new computer.
So I need some form of formate media to help me learn about voice over and
how to get started .
Any information would be absolutely appricieated.
Andy.
