Those that are available on Bookshare's website are sometimes a pain. These are just my thoughts.

Quite honestly, one of the reasons I would like to see IBooks on the computer is that I'd really like to read with the Alex voice and not the voices on my IPad. I certainly agree that portability is a huge advantage, but if you had a MBP or and MBA, then you'd still have portability, especially with the MBA. If you had an IPhone and an MBA and were sighted, I could definitely see wanting to read the books on a screen larger than the phone offers.

LookTell
Hi Guys. I have a question about the information Cara sent. When I read the information, it said something about identification of packaged material, bottles, landmarks. I thought the LookTell program just did money. What are they talking about when they mention these other things? Is there another program that LookTell did for the iPhone that I don't know about? I just have the one on my iPhone that comes up saying Money Reader. It works better, by the way since they updated it again. I think it identifies U.S. dollars as fast as it did before.

Smiles, Cara :) --- NantWorks Object Recognition Technology Wins FCC Chairman's Award An Early Win for Newly Formed NantWorks LLC, LookTel Turns a Smart Phone into a Device That Helps the Blind to See LOS ANGELES, Oct 27, 2011 (BUSINESS WIRE) NantWorks LLC, the company formed by Dr. Patrick Soon-Shiong in September this year, announced that its LookTel technology had been selected as a winner of the Federal Communications Commission's (FCC) Chairman's Awards for Advancements in Accessibility. The award, which recognizes outstanding efforts to advance communications accessibility for people with disabilities, will be presented at a ceremony at FCC headquarters in Washington D.C. on October 28th 2011. LookTel was developed for the blind and visually impaired. It enables a standard smart phone to be used to recognize objects such as currency bills, packaged goods, medication bottles, storefronts and landmarks. Recognition happens in real time, without delay, and the device will speak the identity of the object, for example the denomination of a bill. We are honored to have been chosen for this award from the FCC, said Dr. Soon-Shiong, and delighted to be able to bring forward this important recognition platform, which is going to make a difference to many people's lives. About NantWorks NantWorks LLC is a company founded and led by Dr. Patrick Soon-Shiong. Its mission is to converge semiconductor technology, supercomputing, advanced networks and augmented intelligence to transform how we work, play and live. Early applications will be in the field of scientific research and healthcare. For more information, see www.nantworks.com .

a note on microphones for macs
Hi all, I just made a discovery that I really wish someone had shared with me earlier. Apparently, Macs use a different microphone input than most other PC sound cards. This means that the standard, non line-quality microphone you may have, as I do, will not work with a Mac's microphone jack. You either need a converter, a microphone that is certified to work with Macs, or a USB microphone. This also explains why Windows sees only a line-in jack for audio input in addition to digital audio.

lost Skype
Hi all-again! Yesterday I downloaded Skype but couldn't get it to make calls. Today I seem to have lost the ap altogether! Any idea where it might be hiding?

It's not in my doc and my desktop is empty. How do I find it and then open it? I was going to try and have a play with it again to see if I could get it calling today … Thanks.

Re: a note on microphones for macs
I don't know if many folks realize this, but headphones for iPhones, and iPods with built in mics, do also work on the mac. I've never tried it for anything but just messing around in garageband, and the quality probably isn't that much better than the built in mic, except closer to you, but it does work.

Re: a note on microphones for macs
Generally outside the PC world there are three standards for audio signals: Tiny mic level signals, line level signals such as used to patch a CD player into an amplifier and then speaker level to drive headphones or speakers. The Mac uses line level inputs while PCs use mic level inputs so if you want to hook up a plain old mic to a mac you'll need a pre amp. PCs also do a rather odd (or ingenious) thing not seen in regular audio setups. There is a type of mic called a condenser mic which requires power to operate. This power can come from batteries but more often comes from phantom power which is a 48v signal sent out the mic wires from the mixer. In the PC world they didn't have a 48v line laying around but they did have 5v so they used that instead and made special mics to run on 5v. 5v will not make it very far down a wire but most PC mic cables are only a couple feet long. What this causes is a second problem for Macs which don't support this PC-only 5v mic 'standard'. So even if you could hook the pins up to a preamp from your PC mic, it still would fail to function because it needs 5v. Maybe somebody could hack together a way to get phantom power from a standard mixer into a PC mic but they would have to figure out how to drop the normal 48v down to 5. Anyway, that's a long way of saying PC mics are very different from any other audio stuff out there and it's probably better/cheaper/easier to just not bother trying to get one to work on anything other than a PC. I actually prefer the Mac way since I like to have external gear which, other than mics, usually has line level outputs so I can just patch it right into my mac audio input. My usual setup for skype, demo recording and such is to just use a cheap Shure SM58 with an old Mackie mixer. I can then run the audio out of my mac into the mixer which I can mix with my own voice mic and anything else and run that back into the Mac. That way I have independent control over the Mac/voice mix. CB On 10/28/11 12:27 PM, Alex Hall wrote: Hi all, I just made a discovery that I really wish someone had shared with me earlier.

The award, which recognizes outstanding efforts to advance communications accessibility for people with disabilities, will be presented at a ceremony at FCC headquarters in Washington D.C. on October 28th 2011. LookTel was developed for the blind and visually impaired. It enables a standard smart phone to be used to recognize objects such as currency bills, packaged goods, medication bottles, storefronts and landmarks. Recognition happens in real time, without delay, and the device will speak the identity of the object, for example the denomination of a bill. We are honored to have been chosen for this award from the FCC, said Dr. Soon-Shiong, and delighted to be able to bring forward this important recognition platform, which is going to make a difference to many people's lives. About NantWorks NantWorks LLC is a company founded and led by Dr. Patrick Soon-Shiong.

Re: a note on microphones for macs
I'm not sure if this is only on my Blue Eyeball, if mine got fried a little bit being accidentally plugged into my cell phone charger, or the way Blue designed it, but 100 percent is the only recording level. If I moved it to 0 as I was talking into it, it did absolutely nothing on either my Windows desktop, Snow Leopard on the Mac, or boot camped Windows on the Macbook. I know you can usually uncheck a box in the sound preferences or volume control that will make only silence record from the mic source, essentially muting it, but if I continued to talk on mute, my voice got picked up at full level also. My old plantronics headset allows level variability and the ability to keep other software recording while it's unselected and it really silences, so it must be this eyeball mic some how. - Original Message - From: Matt Dierckens To: macvisionaries@googlegroups.com Sent: Friday, October 28, 2011 3:18 PM Subject: Re: a note on microphones for macs I have a blue yeti microphone, but I wish taht I could use my senheizer headset with the mac.

Re: Question about Safari and Snow Leopard
I have also had this problem. One of my work arounds is to see if the item is nested in a table or is in another frame on the web page. If it is a form control you can also pick it up on the web router. Going through all the automatic web spots has sometimes yielded good results for me. Sometimes it just takes a lot of time to explore a web site. Sincerely Yours, robert For this I bring up the web item router.

I'm still running Snow Leopard, and I've been having trouble with Safari. I've never been as comfortable with it as I was with Internet Explorer, but, for most things, I've managed to make it work. However, I'm having difficulty navigating a large site. I need to find an edit box where I can post a comment, and then, the button beneath the box to actually post the comment to the site. It doesn't matter what I set the web router to. No matter what I do, it refuses to find the box. I can find the post comment button with the item chooser, but, once I find it, I just sort of know it exists on the page without knowing where. Does anyone have any suggestions?

Just find such a message, interact until you find the correct button, and label it with something else.

If there is a conversation going on, and you still have the previous messages stored, the number of new messages in the thread is shown. If there is only one new, the number will be 1. This way, you always know how many messages have been added to the conversation. This will vary a bit from your setup and use of Mail, but in general, this is a way to explain it. For the announcements, you have the ability to restrict much of what VoiceOver says in VoiceOver Utility. For example, you can go to the Verbosity category, choose the Speech verbosity tab, click the checkbox to show the detailed list of verbosity options, and find the Disclosure triangle control. Set this to Custom, and uncheck the Type checkbox. This will make VoiceOver only say the number, and if the triangle is open or closed. HOpe this helps!
