I don't think the Mqac version is released yet.

I see from the archives that this group has been around for quite some time. I just ordered a not so new MacBook and haven't even received it yet, but I hope to hit the ground running with Voice Over. I can already see this group is full of kind people. I hope to be able to help others soon as well. Now, of course, I do have a question. Proofreading is part of my job, and although I do have a, dare I say it, Windows PC to do it with, I might switch everything to the Mac at some point in the future. I am able to use the windows screen reader to tell when something is either in all caps or in proper case. Can this be done with Voice Over? I'll probably find out the answer to this in due course as I play with the Voice Over Utility, etc., but I've been itching to know this for a long time. I might need to know about it if Objective C has any case-sensitive keywords or variable syntax, etc. Of course if it doesn't give that feedback, it's far from a deal breaker. I have no need to use my Mac for my regular job. I'm very excited to get a Mac. I've been salivating over them since Mike Arrigo demonstrated voice Over. I already have an iPod Touch. the most challenging thing so far for me regarding Apple is resisting the temptation to be the ever-criticized fan boy. Lol. Hard not to be loyal to a mainstream company that would make its own screen reader, do a wonderful job on it, and include it with its $30 operating system at no extra charge. Tony Hernandez http://dutyofman.net/ Let us hear the conclusion of the whole matter: Fear God, and keep His commandments, for this is the whole duty of man. For God shall bring every work into judgment, with every secret thing, whether it be good, or whether it be evil. (Ecclesiastes 12:13-14) Topic: braille and voice over? carolyn Haas <[email protected]> Apr 17 12:29PM -0600 ^ Hi Priscilla: Another option to consider is the Btraillino. I've worked with it only once with a mac and an iPhone. But, it left such a strong and a good impression that I'm happy to say I will be getting one as soon as Handytech NA ships. That is, assuming DVR placed the order on Friday as they said they would.:) I've heard no serious complaint about this display, and As erik points out, displays and preference are pretty arbitrary. Have fun with your search and check out as many as you can. Carolyn On Apr 17, 2011, at 8:27 AM, erik burggraaf wrote: carolyn Haas <[email protected]> Apr 17 12:40PM -0600 ^ Hi Pricilla: Welcome! I didn't notice your scan question before I replied about braille displays. Scaning is an area that in my very humble opinion is not well addressed on the Mac platform. There are some applications that can perform scanning. But, they are not as simple as for example an openbook or krzweil interface. Some people on list have successfully been using a combination of apps very successfully. That is, an app called Vuescan, which can scan well, but doesn't address page orientation, combined with Abbyy Fine Reader, which does excellent OCR, but is very scanner choosy. Top solution for scanning, albeit an expensive one is the eye-pal. It is a good system. But, the Mac interface is currently being re-built. The two applications I mentioned run about $150 US, while the eye-pal is I think, around $1200. Hope this helps a little.

You are absolutely going to love how it works with iPhone / iTouch.

Christopher Peppel <[email protected]> Apr 17 02:49PM -0400 ^ If you go to Sarotalk.com, there is a podcast where there is a demonstration of the Mac version of Docuscan with the camera done by Rickie Enger. I just bought the software which is for Serotek customers $199 until the end of April. The regular price is $299. The camera is $499.00. You can't go wrong with that. The documentation for both Mac and PC is available from Serotek and you go to the help section. Hope this helps.

When the apple script is opened with the script editor press command + shift + s this will open the save as dialog. Right arrow until you hear AppleScript Editor window Untitled File Format: one more arrow to the right and you will hear Script pop up button click the button and down arrow until you hear application and click it. Arrow right until you hear Save default button and click it. All done. louie [email protected] Topic: Bookshare DAISY files and default behavior of Safari Brianna Snyder <[email protected]> Apr 17 01:58PM -0400 ^ Hi, I download Bookshare books in BRF. I use an app called the Unarchiver. It works great. You just have to type in your password when unzipping, and it'll do it for you. I've never downloaded a book in Daisy, but I don't see why this pp wouldn't work for those, as well.

For me it's no contest. If you're splerging on a new macbook and you don't want heavy customizations like the ssd drive the $200 for the performance boost is well worth it, especially if you plan to have it for three years, which you almost certainly do.
