Good luck andy and happy learning. -----Original Message----- From: macvisionaries@googlegroups.com [mailto:macvisionaries@googlegroups.com] On Behalf Of Andy Sent: Thursday, 16 June 2016 9:38 AM To: macvisionaries@googlegroups.com Subject: Re: Looking for audio or even txt tutorials to get me started with VO and my new Mac
Hi again Simon. Most of my problems are resolved my friend. I was advised by another member to check out the National Braille Press of the USA and in particular, for a text book titled: Janet Ingber - Everything You Need to Know to Use the Mac Anyway, I'm very pleased to say that I found that particular book and have since downloaded it as a single text file to my Win 7 computer for $22.00. That's very good value. There are almost 90 pages talking about all things apple, in terms of the Mac. So that's me delighted and eager to start getting into the chapters. Thanks again Simon for your support. I was feeling a bit out on a limb befor I wrote to the list. Very best wishes. Andy. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Andy" <meikle.ai...@btinternet.com> To: <macvisionaries@googlegroups.com> Sent: Wednesday, June 15, 2016 12:30 PM Subject: Re: Looking for audio or even txt tutorials to get me started with VO and my new Mac > Hi Simon. > > Yes, I kknow what a text document is Simon,, but I was wondering about > this ibook service. > > I'm not too sure if I'd like to try and listen to the book on my 4S > whilst typing in instructions into my new mac. > > I suppose I was half hoping that I could download these ibook titles > into my win7 and read them with JAWS but it looks like this is not the case. > > The problem I'd have downloading and reading an ibook on my mac is > that I'm at the stage of turning my mac on so not able to download and > start listening to an ibook. > > Perhaps in a week or so when I overcame some of my initial problems > with my mac, I will be in a position to benefit from materials from > the ibook store. > > Thanks symon for your help. > > Very best wishes. > Andy.----- Original Message ----- > From: "Simon Fogarty" <si...@blinky-net.com> > To: <macvisionaries@googlegroups.com> > Sent: Wednesday, June 15, 2016 10:18 AM > Subject: RE: Looking for audio or even txt tutorials to get me started > with VO and my new Mac > > >> Hi andy, >> >> A text file can be read with jaws, >> >> A text file is the default file type for the windows notepad >> application, >> >> Very simple to use with Jaws but also word, or pretty much any >> notepad or word processing product iBooks is a very accessible app on >> the iPhone or iPad, I've not used it on the mac OS x operating >> system. >> >> -----Original Message----- >> From: macvisionaries@googlegroups.com >> [mailto:macvisionaries@googlegroups.com] On Behalf Of Andy >> Sent: Wednesday, 15 June 2016 8:31 PM >> To: macvisionaries@googlegroups.com >> Subject: Re: Looking for audio or even txt tutorials to get me >> started with VO and my new Mac >> >> Hi Paul. >> >> >> I'm currently using my Windows 7 computer to do all my mail and >> searching for information relating to the Mac. >> >> My new imac is just sitting there waiting for me to ge the confidence >> to get started. >> >> I've never used ibooks!
