Re: Looking at the new skype for ios
Hello Guys, I’m sorry, I couldn’t disagree more. The new app is crap! If I wanted to use a instant messaging app I’d go and find one. I just want to see my list of contacts and make a audio or video call. Why have a recents tab but constantly displaying it. I just want a simple list of my contacts but tapping people doesn’t do it. I’ve wasted too much time trying to make it out. It’s a very messy interface. The back button doesn’t appear in the top left etc. It’s the same on iPad and iPhone.

Re: Looking at the new skype for ios
Hello, I just don’t have the time to faff about and explain again I don’t do chats. I just want to make a VOIP phone call. I can’t get rid of my history. Even by tapping home. If I tap the contacts name in that historical list, I cannot select call or video call. It’s a great little instant messenger. But not my scene Thanks.

Was it this list - Ham software on the Mac?
Hello All, Not sure if it was this list where someone was asking about rig control via a Mac? Well I acme across this product, see link below. I guess some people will not like the price but it just might provide a wonderful solution. Sadly, the Mac platform seems to be the weakest because of the way in which the Mac deals with serial interfaces. Basically you buy this linux box and link it to your radio and an ethernet port of your router. Then you can control it via a number of platforms including an iPad. http://pignology.net/index.html 73 M0EBP Gena Georgina Joyce Applied Psychologist Training and Coaching.

Re: Creating a bel file on the Mac platform?
Hello John, Thanks for your help. Originally saw a new application called emboss and didn’t think to look further. After your message I looked and found the actual application louis. So I am now making progress. As the embosser works from the braille lite via the parallel port I need to switch it over to serial connection. I have found from Index a manual for Basic V1 which sounds like this model. It has a recessed switch low down on the back panel. Not easy to get at. That I need to switch to serial connection. I couldn’t reach properly and while it is working with the lite I don’t want to mess it up yet. I have been copying files onto a floppy and feeding them to the embosser via the lite. What I am trying to do is to braille out is track listings for vinyl records. What I am finding is that louis ignores my carriage returns and doesn’t keep a list format. Should I be able to do this via Louis? Or do I need to spend money on an expensive software package? Your comments are appreciated.

Braille translation
Hello All, You might see from an earlier posting, I am trying to get an Index Basic working from my Mac. I’ve found the OSx copy of nfbtrans and I’ve installed louis. As for nfbtrans it doesn’t want to generate grade 2 braille. The file is created but is blank. Louis will see the Index connected via the serial USB but doesn’t respond when I hit the emboss button. Louis doesn’t see the USB Parallel connection. The embosser works via the parallel port as I have embossed via my BrailleLite 40. I can transfer files from the computer via floppy disk but I’d just like the Mac talking direct to the embosser. Any help please? Gena Georgina Joyce Applied Psychologist Training and Coaching.

Re: Will Disk Utility restore .IMG Images?
Hello, Well dd is not really that bad. If you look at the Rasberry Pie communities you’ll see what utils are available for writing raw data to SD Cards. in file equals out file. The SD Card must not be mounted. dd if=/Downloads/my.img of=/dev/rdisk2 1m http://elinux.org/RPi_Easy_SD_Card_Setup#Flashing_the_SD_card_using_Mac_OSX On 24 May 2014, at 13:13, Christopher-Mark Gilland cgwaxhawlo...@clgproductions.com wrote: So, here's the situation in a nutshell. I have a .IMG file which is the firmware for a device that I need to flash. The only problem is, it's a .IMG file, not an ISO. And, it's definitely! not a DMG. The documentation states that I need to burn the .IMG file to a micro SD card, therefore placing the image on the card, and making it bootable. Before any of you who may be fairly basic to intermediate mac users say anything about, just hit command+C on the file, move to your SD card, and hit command+V to paste, no. That won't work. It's not that easy. I don't need the actual .IMG file on the SD card. If it was that simple, I'd already have done it. No, I can't hit command+O on the file in the Finder, extract its contents then copy the contents to the card. That won't work either. The card has to be bootable, and that method, though it may get the content there won't keep it as such. I know how to make the card be formatted Fat32, and I know how to make the card only have 1 partition. I also know how to m ake that partition active... I... think, all of which are required. The only thing I don't! know how to do is get that darn IMG image extracted/burned for lack of better term, to the SD card itself. I know about the drag and drop method of Disk Utility. I know that works for ISO's, and I also know it works for DMG's, obviously, but will it work with IMG's? If so, then, I should be in business. Yeah, I suppose I could use terminal in combination with DD, but that's downright a pain in the kneck to do. I'll do it if there's no other way, but I really don't wanna have to go read man pages to figure out how the dd command works if I don't have to. Any suggestions?

Re: Will Disk Utility restore .IMG Images?
Hello Gordon, You are correct. PS I didn’t think I was getting through the list. Owing to changing my email address. Nice to see you back, by the way. I’m working now, and I hadn’t noticed you rejoin. My apologies. This is very interesting indeed actually. I presume that this works from the Terminal under OS X? I shall store this info as it could well come in useful for us too. As I understand it, an image file such as Chris’s scenario describes is just that, raw data without any compression. I could be wrong but I believe an ISO image is more or less the same.

Re: Turning Wi-Fi On and Off on My MacBook Pro
Hello, Don’t worry about it. If there’s a cable in the ethernet port it will use that connection. With the newer Macbook’s there’s not a physical switch to turn it off. During the boot up process the ethernet port will be configured very early whereas, wireless requires a lot more running processes to function.

Re: More On The iDatabase App
Hello Dane, Many thanks for your investigations. I’m very busy at the moment, so hope to play once everything has stopped for Christmas. From what I saw iDatabase is a very slim flat database i.e. not a relational database. Which probably mean I’ll need to use a open source back end and write php interface. If I want to use relational features. Thanks. Gena On 16 Dec 2013, at 14:12, Dane Trethowan grtd...@internode.on.net wrote: Hi! I've been playing around with both the iDatabase Apps - iDatabase for the Mac and iDatabase for IOS - and both are reasonably priced from the appropriate App stores however to use it would appear that iDatabase for IOS is a little more accessible, I'm not saying that the Mac version isn't accessible I just have to get used to the layout and learn what each item does when you click on it with Voiceover. In my scenario I have both Apps at my disposal so if one isn't quite as accessible as the other it doesn't matter so much as data between the 2 apps can be synced using the Cloud. The accessibility problem with the Mac App as far as I've found seems to be when you come to Define a new database or modify the structure of an existing one, all the elements are available for adding/inserting fields and you can see what sort of field you can use - that is a numeric field, big or small text field, date field and so on - but how to put them where you want them and how to tell iDatabase exactly what type of field you want, with iDatabase for IOS this procedure is a snap so I created some databases on y iPhone using iDatabase and synced them with the iMac. --- Mac Access At Mac Access Dot Net --- To reply to this post, please address your message to mac-access@mac-access.net You can find an archive of all messages postedto the Mac-Access forum at either the list's own dedicated web archive: http://mail.tft-bbs.co.uk/pipermail/mac-access/index.html or at the public Mail Archive: http://www.mail-archive.com/mac-access@mac-access.net/.

Re: can programs designed for lenox also be used on OS 10 Maverick
Hello, An interesting point of view. I agree I enjoyed playing with linux from scratch. It can be fun building yourself. However, with respect. LFS do the donkey work for you. As does Mac Poorts in respect of dependencies. Sometimes you have to plough through miles of documentation. When you start with a new installed system how do you know what libraries etc you need to grab and build? Just to build one little utility. Macports works for me, I’ve had my time troubleshooting a failed build on Linux, I don’t want it on my Mac. Different courses for different horses. Thanks. Gena You wrote: Now, a little background and explanation. Most of the macports apps I've seen would take a whole 30 minutes or so to port properly to the mac. But, because folks are too lazy to do a proper port, instead they throw in an environment that messes with your paths, environment shell settings, and library search paths, all to save themselves from going through the code os some programs and changing library call here, an include file there, and rewriting a line or two of c/c++ code to adhere to newer gcc compiler versions. All of which needs to be done anyway eventually if the program is going to continue running on newer systems as they upgrade themselves with newer releases of other unix like operating systems. The whole macports thing is a nice idea, but one of the poorest implementations I've ever seen of a software emulation layer (which it really isn't supposed to be, but it gets used as such anyway). I've taken programs (such as pine and lynx) that were in the macports library, and compiled osx native versions of the same programs with very little modifications, and there's no reason it couldn't be done by the maintainers of said packages if so desired. The problem is, they don't want to do it, and most folks don't know enough to do the job, so we wind up with a stop gap measure like macports, and for some unknown reason, it becomes the defacto distribution for all things mac in the terminal world (go figure). Sometimes, it's possible to take the same exact source code used by the macports version, and recompile the source in native osx, and it works w/o any changes at all. Admittedly, those occasions are few, but it just goes to show how needless the macports app library truly is. Now, with all that said, if you truly need the macports environment, then by all means, use it. But I won't be caught with it on my system, not after it truly hosed my system the last time I tried using it several years ago. I now ignore, avoid, and actively discourage all things macports. If you have the development tools installed, compiling your own versions of programs is generally as easy as: ./configure make make install Of course, this is after changing to the folder containing the source code of the program in question, and performing the final step as root, which is usually done via the sudo command, but still, you get the point. Now, I'm specifically talking about pure terminal apps here, not XWindows apps, or those using quartz, or quicktime libs for graphical output. Those have their own set of difficulties, and I don't generally bother with such apps, so their nonfunctionality doesn't affect me. :) But, to make a long rant short, if you wish to try an opensource app, simply download the source, and have a whack at compiling it in terminal. Most of the time it'll work without any changes, but if changes are necessary, they're generally simple ones that an experienced unix coder can make in a relatively short period of time. If you're not an experienced unix coder, it will take you longer, but it can still be done with enough perseverance. It's not complicated or difficult, merely time consuming looking up the library versions, and tracking include files. Of course, sometimes, it's a *lot* more complicated than that, but if that's the case, then it won't make much difference if you're compiling for macports or in native mode, since either one is equally likely not to work. :) Anyway, that's my soapbox speech for the week, hope it helps someone. And, if not, then at least forewarned is forearmed. --- Mac Access At Mac Access Dot Net --- To reply to this post, please address your message to mac-access@mac-access.net You can find an archive of all messages postedto the Mac-Access forum at either the list's own dedicated web archive: http://mail.tft-bbs.co.uk/pipermail/mac-access/index.html or at the public Mail Archive: http://www.mail-archive.com/mac-access@mac-access.net/.

Re: XLD under Mavericks
Hello Gordon, I'm not sure if I understand you right. But a virtual drive is across a network. Is this wireless or hard wired? Or have you effectively ripped the CD to a virtual drive. Either way you have data activity that the is bottle necking somewhere. If wireless, hardwire it. If you are thrashing the SSD by lifting off the SSD into RAM and back on to SSD, poor disk. Gena Georgina Joyce Applied Psychologist Training and Coaching. Because individuals of groups matter! On 2 Nov 2013, at 19:28, Gordon Smith gor...@mac-access.net wrote: Hi all Now that things have settled down under Mavericks, I thought I’d share one more observation with the group. As many here do, I prefer to use XLD even though it does not have an ideal user interface, to rip my Cd’s. This is because it does a much much better job at ripping disks than iTunes does, and I have yet to find a Mac alternative to XLD which has the same functionality. For all its little quirks, XLD is still a marvellous application and let us not forget that it is developed and distributed free of charge. Anyway, to my point. XLD under the final public build of Mavericks is like lightening on my MacBook Air, and that is using an Apple Superdrive as the source. However, if I use a virtual CDRW drive, as is my preference, XLD is, for some reason, quite a bit slower when it comes to the ripping of uncompressed formats. This is strange actually, but true. I use uncompressed FLAC as my preferred ripping format so as to preserve the original quality. yet if I rip as compressed tracks, MP3 or M4A ACC+ for example, it’s much faster.

Re: odd behaviour in Mavericks terminal
Hello, Owch, that don't look good. I don't know about how the OS X prompt is made up and what certain symbols mean. I suspect they would be Unix standard. I have just tried to run as root but I can't. On a Linux system the root user's prompt ends with a number sign. However, here on OS X, a user promt ends with ~$. So may be your other prompt is as the admin user. Anyway, such things are specified in either .bashrc .profile .bash_profile. Either in your home directory or global system wide in /etc. I assume you have the box ticked that indicates that you want your windows reopening on the next restart. Or does the system have a serious error that requires admin privileges? The system name used in the prompt is the names associated with each machine on the network and in ML are set via the sharing options in system prefs.

Re: odd behaviour in Mavericks terminal
Hello Dónal Zac, Well I just picked up on the fact that there was a difference in the punctuation in the prompts. I knew that punctuation represents the level of user access on the system. So why should something as important as the hostname change automatically? Gena Georgina Joyce Applied Psychologist Training and Coaching. Because individuals of groups matter!

Re: odd behaviour in Mavericks terminal
Hello, Well, I haven't upgraded yet. I use the terminal a lot. So certainly won't upgrade until things like this are fixed. I would have thought that it is a potential serious security issue. Certainly, not something to be laid back about. So what is the behaviour? Is it using the terminal invokes a hostname change? Or is it another event? Thanks.

I then plugged in Mac Backup so that Maverick install had the choice of two disks.

Re: Having problems installing Maverick

Incidentally, When I do a cmd i on the installer, the properties report that the Installation.app folder is 5.31Gigabytes. You are getting the hole file?

Re: iPhone 5c versus 5s
Hello Paul, Well the 5S has a 64bit processor. Which is taking mobile activity to a new higher level. Whether it will make it easier for VO users, I'm not sure. Certainly, benchmark tests suggest it is a lot faster. But if there are benefits to us, I don't know. Certainly, it seems logical to me if you are using apps like look tell, tap tap see, O C R apps etc. The faster processor and better camera on the 5S will be a worthy long term investment.

Re: good alternative to iTunes for ripping CDs
Hello Dónal, You wrote: I prefer Homebrew because it installs everything into /local/library/Celar, and then sym-links into /usr/local/bin. this makes removing software much easier than with macports. Thanks for your reply. I shall have to look at homebrew. However, disk space isn't an issue so removal isn't a problem. Therefore, I haven't looked at it thoroughly. But I understood Macports to install in /opt/local/…. and the user's .profile adds the path varible. So I don't think that there would be any dangling symlinks to be left on the system. There's the issue of ejecting the CD when finished I haven't cracked to satisfaction yet. We can use: # drutil tray eject But I'd rather abcde manages it as it does on GNU Linux. Happy hacking!

Re: good alternative to iTunes for ripping CDs
Hello Lynnette, In respect of this program. It is very easy. However, the more you want = to customise the more it is involved. There is one file that you need to = edit, if you wish to change anything from the defaults. It's as simple = as typing abcde. To Install, providing you have Macports installed: # sudo port install abcde Put your CD in the drive and type: # abcde This will put a full stop after the number of the track. It will create = a directory of the artist's name. Inside that directory, will be a sub = directory of the artist's name. Of the albumn. Being open source = software the default format is vorbis ogg. It is in q3 mode. All of this = is changeable within the abcde.conf file. It is very well commented = file. It can be edited within TextEdit. By default is found in = /opt/local/etc/abcde.conf. It is better to leave that one alone and make a copy of it in your own = home directory. I then copy that one to a file called rip-ogg and = another called rip-mp3. I then edit both of those rip files with the = settings I desire for ogg and mp3 files. When I come to rip a disk to = mp3 I type: # abcde -c rip-mp3 and for ogg: # abcde -c rip-ogg. I have kept the above very simple and such examples may need path = directives. If you put your customised files in a different place to = that you give the command. =20 An example of the default might be from pwd (Present working directory) Artist Name inside that Album Name Inside that 01.Track_Name.ogg The only problem I have found is ejecting the CD. I'm having to switch = to the desktop and ejecting from there. If you wish to view a abcde.conf which is similar to the default: = http://code.google.com/p/abcde/issues/attachmentText?id=3D1aid=3D-1098436= 14078946506name=3Dabcde.conftoken=3Da2f898087a0a3c9f37e4435b187e80c3 VO and Safari seem to take you through 69 numbered links before the = text.

Hello Gordon, Although you want a lovely GUI interface. I would suggest that you look at abcde. Which stands for a better cd encoder. It's a very light weight set of scripts run from the terminal.

However one thing that irritates me about XLD is that you can't see the progress and consequently cannot be certain the CD is ripping correctly. So are there any good alternatives? I'd ideally like something which enables ripping and storing of the converted tracks according to a naming convention.

Re: good alternative to iTunes for ripping CDs
Hello,
Sorry, I don't understand. You install it by:
sudo port install abcde
Providing you have macports installed. I guess if you have a build env, you can
build from source.
It comes with a sample abcde.comf and you edit it as you wish. So by making
several copies with different configurations makes it easy to cater for
different situations.
Here's a sample of how the script is written.
# be selected as '--preset standard --another-option' etc.
LAMEOPTS='--preset extreme'
# Output type for MP3.
OUTPUTTYPE=mp3
# The cd ripping program to use. There are a few choices here: cdda2wav,
# dagrab, cddafs (Mac OS X only) and flac.
CDROMREADERSYNTAX=cdparanoia
# Give the location of the ripping program and pass any extra options:
CDPARANOIA=cdparanoia
CDPARANOIAOPTS=--never-skip=40
# Give the location of the CD identification program:
CDDISCID=cd-discid
# Give the base location here for the encoded music files.
OUTPUTDIR=$HOME/music/
# Decide here how you want the tracks labelled for a standard 'single-artist',
# multi-track encode and also for a multi-track, 'various-artist' encode:
OUTPUTFORMAT='${OUTPUT}/${ARTISTFILE}-${ALBUMFILE}/${TRACKNUM}.${TRACKFILE}'
VAOUTPUTFORMAT='${OUTPUT}/Various-${ALBUMFILE}/${TRACKNUM}.${ARTISTFILE}-${TRACKFILE}'

Hello Gordon,
Although you want a lovely GUI interface. I would suggest that you look at
abcde. Which stands for a better cd encoder. It's a very light weight set of
scripts run from the terminal. Via Mac Ports. I used to have a couple of the
customised scripts and run them according to the job I wanted to do. i.e.
cd2mp3 or cd2ogg.

Hi Sarah
Neither of these are dedicated rippers though, so I don’t class them as
alternatives. XLD is a dedicated file converter and ripper, designed for
audio and only audio. What I personally am looking for is something which
has a more XLD-like interface, a more XLD-like functionality specification
but a more intuitive interface. This is one of those sorry occasions where
I curse myself for letting my programming skills slide. I got lazy when
the GUI came along and ever since then I have regretted it. If only, if
only, I’d continued when I started to study C and C+ all those years ago,
I’d have been a master programmer by now and I would have been able to
achieve my dream, of having a Mac Access dedicated suite of utilities to
fit the bill.
In any event, the search goes on as far as I am concerned. I would also
add that I have been using Virtual CDRW from Burningthumb until recently
but, for reasons which I cannot as yet discuss, it no longer works for me.
So I’m on the hunt for something else which might. I tried Disk-Soft Demon
Light, but OS X won’t even allow me to install the drivers.
Kind regards

Hello All, I see that most people prefer VM Ware Fusion and that you can use Virtual Box via the command line. Does this mean that most people prefer using the graphical interface with Fusion because Virtual Box graphical interface is not accessible and the command line is too much? Why does it appear that people would rather purchase VM software rather than use an open source alternative? Thanks.

Re: OS X Mountain Lion: What is the Library folder?
Hello, I don't know what it is you are trying to achieve. Yes the Library directory is hidden. The instruction to access it via finder appears difficult and I don't understand it. However, I can access my Library directory via the terminal. From utilities run terminal. Then you can use the change directory command cd' i.e.: cd Library Then press enter / return. You then will need to cd into the downcast folder. I don't have downcast installed so I don't know what path you require. You may want to unhide the Library directory which will make finder navigation easier but has security issues. Or I guess that is why Apple decided to make it hidden by default.

Re: General Help With Numbers
Hello Carol Andy, Numbers is a very powerful application. It depends upon what you wish to do with it. I guess it would be useful if you stated what you would like to achieve with it. I've just been using my 1 to 1 sessions on numbers. Did either of you buy 1 to 1 training with your new Mac's? If you open a new document. Numbers puts focus into the 1 table provided. You can use the arrow keys to navigate and VO announces column and row coordinates. In this respect I personally find it too verbose but knowing the VO utility. Such verbosity can be controlled. Like pages, it has a very powerful pallet of controls called an inspector. Achieved by option plus command plus (i). This is a toggle i.e. hiding it and giving it focus. It reminds me of iTunes. When you bring the inspector to the front. You have a series of radio buttons. So if you wish to manipulate the rows or columns simply select the table radio button. Then VO right arrow and explore the controls. When you have made your changes just press option + cmd + i and you are returned to your document. As I have an understanding of XL, other than the inspector. I don't feel numbers is too different. A spread sheet is a spread sheet.

Re: General Help With Numbers
Hello Carol, I'm guessing you needed to interact with the table. Numbers has layers. It maybe that the file opened at the lowest level. On top of the outline and toolbars is the layer with your table. If you stepped up to that level. You would have been navigating around the cells of the table. I'm sorry, there's no shortcut to learning a new screen reader. Each screen reader can only guess what defaults suit most people. As our screen readers are the most important method of access we all want to dive in with the apps. But we gain far more by exploring our screen reader. Because when we open a new app. We are armed with different screen reader moves to gain an understanding of the controls and layout of the app. This concept of interacting with areas. Or as I see it. Stepping up to the next level. Is quite Aileen to Windows users in the beginning. But soon you will accommodate these differences. Or at least, I'm getting there myself. Good luck.

This requires that I change a few columns and occasionally have to change the header at the top of the sheet. Apart from this, I don't any longer need to use spreadsheets in my life! I therefore took an XL spreadsheet and loaded it directly into numbers hoping that I can read it and make a few alterations. Well, with my little knowledge of the Mac so far, I was not really able to get to read it at all. I found all the settings, and went in and out and round and round about them, but I didn't do much else! Once I can read the spreadsheet itself, presumably then I may stand more chance of getting to edit it. I guess I'll have to start at the beginning, but I don't want a long learning curve just for this, so I'm hoping that I can bypass a good deal of what one would have to learn if I needed to create spreadsheets from scratch. Perhaps this gives you a better idea where I'm coming from.

Re: Using the say command?
Hello Esther, Thanks for all of your input on this thread. It's comprehensive and very informative. A most valuable message. Gena Please Note: Please use email address below for all future correspondence: g...@gena-j.me.uk Georgina Joyce Applied Psychologist Training and Coaching. Because individuals of groups matter! On 25 Jul 2013, at 01:21, Esther mori...@mac-access.net wrote: Hello Gena, Sarah, and Others, The default output file format for the say command is AIFF, which is the Mac equivalent of WAVE, and using lower case still will not work. An AIFF file is the default audio format you get on a Mac when you import an audio CD with no compression. It may be the fact that by default we're running 64-bit operating systems on the newer Intel Macs that impacts how some system utilities that used to work in earlier versions of Mac OS X now operate. (This might explain why the man page descriptions of the say command are not necessarily accurate in this instance -- by default, earlier operating systems ran under a 32-bit architecture.) As for the error code, it shows up as an invalid property value under the Apple Developer documents for Audio Unit Component Services.. kAudioUnitErr_InvalidPropertyValue This URL will probably wrap, but here's the source, and 10851 is listed under the Result Codes. Also, this documents core audio codes under iOS. Apple is in the process of merging functionality of OS X with iOS. http://developer.apple.com/library/ios/#documentation/AudioUnit/Reference/AUComponentServicesReference/Reference/reference.html One of the reasons that mp3 and wave formats might not now be legitimate products of the say command, is that since Tiger (OS X 10.3, the first to support VoiceOver) Apple started to completely overhaul their Core Audio format. Many audio files actually have the structure of video files with just the audio components. They also wanted the audio formats to be written to new standards that were not limited by the older file format definitions. MP3 file standards were established a long time ago, and nobody thought that you'd want to listen to single files that were longer than 13 hours (e.g. audiobooks). The system sound files all have .caf extensions (standing for core audio file), and the time counters don't turn over at 2 billion samples (basically, the maximum number that can be represented with a 32 bit unsigned integer as a header keyword), so you could listen to audio content with hundreds of hours (in theory) in a single file. This is all part of future-proofing the media standards. I don't think the error code is permissions related. You could always try using old voices like fred. He does sound a bit like a duck quacking when you speed him up, but remains pretty intelligible at fairly high speaking rates. Most list users will probably prefer to create audio files of text using the service menu option Add to iTunes as a spoken track. For Gena, since she is comfortable with the Terminal command line, using the say command is a reasonable choice, and has some advantages: 1. She's transferring the file to an Audio CD, so the default AIFF format of the say command makes sense. Using the service menu option would create an AAC file in her iTunes library, which is smaller if she wants to store and listen to it on her computer, but which would take additional processing by her system to compress the file, and is not necessary, since when she writes the file out as an Audio CD she'd have to expand it again, anyway. 2. If she uses the Terminal command line she can create the file as a background process. Again, this uses less of her system's resources, and will minimize instances of busy messages. 3. She can set the speaking rate as an argument in her command. If she were using the service menu option to create a spoken track in iTunes she would have to edit the file to insert an embedded command to set the speaking rate at the start of the file. (It would have the format of two left brackets, followed by the word rate, followed by a space, followed by a number like 300 -- written without the quotation marks -- followed by two right brackets.) Embedded speech commands let you do things like alter pitch or volume, change speaking rates, speak acronyms letter by letter, or speak phone numbers digit by digit, and a whole lot more. You can test them out with the say command in Terminal by embedding them into phrases enclosed within quotation marks. Some of them, like speaking rate, can alternatively be set as a switch in the command (e.g., in Sarah's example, this would be the - r 250). Here are a few examples: Here's the command to get Fred instead of Alex, speaking fast at slightly boosted volume, with the say command. Open up Terminal, paste the string in, and press return to hear the results: say -v Fred [[rate 400
Re: Using the say command?
Hello, Yes, coming from a linux background I need to get some information over to a blind friend who doesn't like or use computers. Therefore, simply passing a text file through say should give me an audio version of the text. Which can be then burnt to disk and he can play it.

Re: reading messages in apple mail
Hello, Yes at first it does look like OS navigation is heavy keyboard usage. However, you soon learn quicker ways. Like Sarah, I have turned of the preview pane. I also have the preview lines set to 5. Thus I don't need to press enter to open the message. Furthermore, if I don't want that message. I just hit the backspace key to delete it. This is great when dealing with list mail. Group by conversation and VO will read the latest in the conversation. If you have no interest in that conversation, just hit the backspace and a large number of messages can be deleted.

Re: Using the say command?
Hello, Well, it is an interesting one. Yes, if I had plunged straight in. It would have worked. But as I like to start with the most simplest form then expand. I crashed into this bug. I can't get the --file-format=WAVVE to work but m4af does. That's interesting too. The inconsistency of the upper case and lower case of the format options. I'll have to check to see if wave will work if I enter it lower case. Usually man pages are accurate regarding such issues. It all adds to the learning experience. So it looks like I'll be now exploring how to write the file to a compact disk as an audio disk. To make it easy on myself. I'll put all the documents in one file. Lucky for him, there's only about 3 pages of text in total. BTW: I understand that there is an Apple support document that expands error codes. So I might spend a little time in seeking the meaning of error 10851. It's beginning to should like it's a typical Unix problem of something not being given the correct privileges or permissions.

It seems to be a bug in the latest update of Mountain Lion, and shows up when you use downloaded or updated voices as the default voice or for the voice argument. In some cases when you switch to another account the command works. But I think that in many of those cases the reason may be that these are test accounts, where they only have the standard voices available, or have not updated them.

Just out of curiosity, are you getting that error message only with voices that you downloaded and updated? Because I think that's a bug that has been reported in 10.8.4 (not just with the say command). Try using a different voice. I don't have any problems with the say command. I think that if you had tried your test in earlier versions of the OS, you wouldn't have gotten that error message. HTH. Cheers, Esther On 23 Jul 2013, at 06:31, Sarah k Alawami wrote: Try this. Convert your file to text and then save it on your desk top. Now copy the file to the clip board. 1. launch terminal 2 enter say -f (paste in file name here) --progress -voice tom -r 250 -o filename.aiff You can change the voice but I personally use tom but you can use samantha as well or any of the other voices that are on your mac.

Therefore, simply passing a text file through say should give me an audio version of the text. Which can be then burnt to disk and he can play it. But I'm getting the error: MTBEAudioUnitSoundOutput::PropagateProperty Error -10851 MTBEAudioUnitSoundOutput::PropagateProperty Error -10851 Hence my question.

Re: Braven 650 Premium Bluetooth Speaker System
Hello, I have used the mini Jam Box with an iPhone 5 without any problem.

I've ordered one of these and I hope to have it by the end of the week so I'll be able to write a mini review on the product. The Braven 650 system is supposed to be far better than the Jawbone Jambox and that product wasn't bad except for its absolutely dreadful hands free speaker phone feature, the other fact that stopped me using it was its Bluetooth compatibility, the Jambox isn't - as far as I know - compatible with Bluetooth 4.0 devices such as the iPhone 5, Samsung Galaxy etc, Bluetooth 4.0 provides superior bandwidth to previous Bluetooth versions and it can be used without problems for dictation, Siri and the like.
