hi, if you got a optic book 3600 i believe you gotta use windows for
making it work, so that would be vmware.
At least that was what i did when i needed too scan all of my medical books.

 Cheryl you have recently been posting regarding FineReader application

 giving me your opinion on it?  How fast is it?  What size paper can you

 Maybe others could share their thoughts on the scanners they use or have

Re: Best scanners for text scanning

2014-05-01 Thread Feliciano G
Why not use a OCR application and copy the text to the clipboard then paste it 
onto a note which you can then share on to your Dropbox that you can access on 
your Mac? You should be able to do this task fairly easy. Having the Dropbox 
software on your Mac would make things a lot easier since what you upload on 
your Dropbox app on your iPhone will sink on the computer.

 I am still trying to find a way to take pictures with my IPhone to a specific

 can not find a program, that lets me create a folder for the pictures taken

 You can also use an opticbook scanner with vuescan, and when you can

 I have tried a lot of settings in vuescan, and something goes wrong, page

 directly in finereader pro.
 
 I hope you can use some of what I have been writing here.

Hi Sandi.

In fact you can use the mac and vuescan. The only thing I would say is that I 
seem to have some problems to get really good scannings with vuescan. I think I 
have been working with every single setting. Often page numbers are missing 
when using vuescan, that is no problem directly in finereader, sometimes I also 
have seen mising text. I can not explain why.

 a stand-alone scanner, and no matter how hard I try to follow the
 instructions, I can't get the quality I need to scan books; I know other
 people do it but it just doesn't ever work quite for me. Being able to
 just turn pages and snap pictures sounds ideal but it hasn't measured up
 to my hopes. But don't get me wrong; I do like my 110 and I'm not
 griping; just sharing what I would really like to have! I pretty much
 take my books apart to scan them which means I don't scan library books.
 With all the accessible electronics options out there for paperless books

 I still scan a lot and I also scan pretty much all of my mail.

Re: Best scanners for text scanning

2014-05-01 Thread Cheryl Homiak
I'm not contradicting anybody else's experience but I have gotten excellent 
scans with vuescan. It is my experience that page numbers can possibly be 
missing no matter what method you use though this has not happened to me as a 
rule with vuescan. But then I usually take my books apart because no matter 
what method I use, I find that scanning books with the book left whole doesn't 
give me the level of accuracy I need; probably a lack in my own technique. 
However, with Abbyy Pro you now don't need vuescan, though I think it's going 
to be a while before I am totally comfortable with Abbyy Pro.

 In fact you can use the mac and vuescan. The only thing I would say is that I 
 seem to have some problems to get really good scannings with vuescan. I think 
 I have been working with every single setting. Often page numbers are missing 
 when using vuescan, that is no problem directly in finereader, sometimes I 
 also have seen mising text. I can not explain why.

Re: Is There an Easier Way to Access and Download Google Drive Documents?

2014-05-01 Thread Nicholas Parsons
Thanks both Tim and Deb (think that's it).

I was definitely hoping for something as seamless as Dropbox. I'll give Insync 
a go, but I'm guessing from what Tim said that it might only work if the 
documents are in my Drive, and the documents I'm interested in were shared with 
me by someone else so I'm guessing they're not in my Drive. Really, the way 
Dropbox works is so much simpler.

I'll check out Insync but am guessing I'll probably have to fiddle about 
pressing x on every document then exporting them somehow. Still, this is easier 
than opening each one up and downloading as I was doing. So thanks so much to 
you both for your help!

Cheers,
Nic

Right, but first you have to install sox. So if the files are already on

first and then run the command to combine the files. Sox can do full

Re: saving text of page source code

2014-05-01 Thread 'Chris Blouch' via MacVisionaries
Didn't notice a reply to this. I'm assuming you want the 'rendered 
source' as the html which is downloaded is usually heavily modified 
after the fact by scripts running the browser. You might want to give 
this Safari plugin a try:


http://www.awarepixel.com/safari/bettersource/

It adds some controls to the Safari toolbar, one of which is Better 
Source Generated which pops a new window or tab with all the source 
code and line numbers. The annoying bit is that the line numbers are 
actually injected as a blob at the beginning of the page so if you 
select all and paste into your favorite editor you can strip all that 
off the top until you hit the opening html tag. Depending on what 
editor you use, the easiest way to do that might be to search for 
html which usually will select it, then arrow left to put your cursor 
before the opening  and then do a shift+home to select all the junk at 
the top. Then you can just delete it. What's left is the actual HTML in 
use at the time you did the copy command.

Re: app for old real audio files

2014-05-01 Thread 'Chris Blouch' via MacVisionaries
I thought .ram files were just pointers to the actual media files with 
various settings like playlist or looping. So any tool would need to 
download the source files first that are pointed to by the .ram file. Do 
these .ram files still work since they might point to servers that are 
long gone. Supposedly VLC can play .ram files so if you can get them to 
play in there you might be able to get it to store the streamed media.

Strange behaviour in FineReader Pro when recognising into .rtf format

2014-05-01 Thread Andrew Lamanche
Listers,

For a couple of weeks now, when I try to recognise into text images of files 
taken scanned with Vuescan, and I use FineReader Pro to do the recognition, and 
when I choose to convert to .rtf format, I get no text which I could read in 
TextEdit.  And yet, when I convert the same image into .docx or .pdf, the text 
is there.  Why could it be?  I'm totally at a loss with this one.  It is as if 
.rtf has no text but when I repeat the export command and choose .docx or .pdf, 
then I can read the text.  

Any suggestions?

Andrew

Yes that's correct. .ram files are just meta data.

Re: Strange behaviour in FineReader Pro when recognising into .rtf format

2014-05-01 Thread Annie Skov Nielsen
Hi Andrew.

I am always using the format txt caled plain text, that works best, but maybe 
others have some other ideas about that.

Best regards Annie.
Den 01/05/2014 kl. 19.50 skrev Andrew Lamanche ioani...@me.com:

 Listers,
 
 For a couple of weeks now, when I try to recognise into text images of files 
 taken scanned with Vuescan, and I use FineReader Pro to do the recognition, 
 and when I choose to convert to .rtf format, I get no text which I could read 
 in TextEdit.  And yet, when I convert the same image into .docx or .pdf, the 
 text is there.  Why could it be?  I'm totally at a loss with this one.  It is 
 as if .rtf has no text but when I repeat the export command and choose .docx 
 or .pdf, then I can read the text.  
 
 Any suggestions?
 
 Andrew

So if I go to terminal and do a curl on your URL:

curl http://pipedreams.publicradio.org/rafiles/shows/2003/0330.smil

and wade through the dozen or so lines I find this URL:

rtsp://mprrm.publicradio.org/5559/pipedreams/shows/20030803_pipedreams.rm

If I go into VLC and Open Network (command-N) and paste that in it seems

Kenwood software for Mac

2014-05-01 Thread Daniel Chavez
Hi,
I have a Kenwood HamRadio and was looking for programming software for use with 
VO on Mac.
I forget the model I use, all I can say is that. When it turns on, it has a 
lady that says. Channel mode 1. So perhaps, hopefully someone in the US who has 
that radio could tell me their model and it might match mine. I know it's not a 
THF6A for sure as this model didn't come with a rubber duck antenna.

LastPass and Safari - Major Problem!

2014-05-01 Thread Steve Holmes
I noticed with some recent changes to Safari and LastPass that now whenever the 
LastPass plug-in is active, I can't keep focus from jumping over into the 
LastPass HTML pane. I never had this problem before. It makes it impossible to 
spend any time on a given site such as filling forms without the cursor 
suddenly jumping over to the LastPass page. Is anyone else seeing this? I'm 
running latest prod version of Mavericks, Safari and LastPass.

This is so bad now, I might have to dump this and go with 1Password or 
something. The iOS version of LastPass is great.

Any ideas?

I just installed Google Drive desktop client for Mac. You're right, it works 
really well. I only added three of the piles of documents I was given to my 
Drive, but it seems that may not have bene necessary as when I opened Drive it 
had all the documents there. Really great. Now I'm just doing the laboure 
intensive task of OCR-ing them all. There really needs to be a better way to do 
this.

Re: problems with trying to reinstall lion

2014-05-01 Thread Eric Oyen
Unfortunately, that didn't work. There was no password dialog of any kind on 
there and using the cmd+tab or CMD+~ yielded no results. I even had a sighted 
room mate come in here and take a look. There was no visible password dialog at 
all. It just sat there displaying the dialog verifying illegibility with the 
Appstore Mind you, this was in recovery mode.
I have made sure the internet lan port was connected and functioning properly 
(it was). I might have to get a complete installation disk and just install 
fresh from that.

Hi,

I wonder if it's asking for your password?  Try a Window Chooser to see if any 
options come available.  You could also try clicking the physical mouse or 
Trackpad to see if something is sitting waiting for you but VO is not gaining 
focus.

Re: Restoring from a Time Machine backup

2014-05-01 Thread Alex Hall
I did just that. I opened Finder, hit cmd-shift-c for Computer, and opened my 
Time Machine drive. I then navigated to the folder holding the backup I wanted 
(they are labeled as the dates on which they were made) and from there found my 
file. Have a look at the folder structure sometime so you know what to expect 
if you ever need to use a backed up file or folder; it's pretty simple and 
logical.

 Hi,
 I now have an external USB drive. I have backed up the files from the Mac. If 
 I need to can I restore only selected files or folders? For example If I 
 accidentally delete a file can I restore that file from the backup,?
 Thanks as always for any advice.

That is very helpful. I did not know how to get to the drive.

Re: Best scanners for text scanning

2014-05-01 Thread Sandi Jazmin Kruse
hi, taking the books apart is not really a option for me since i will
be selling them after the last exam this summer:)
I have for the most part always gotten good results with the optic
book 3600. However always under windows, though. Not sure why.
Annie, as for your missing text have you tried take the scanned result
and force it into an html file?
I have had too do that with all of my nursing books too make sure that
i got all the text

Best Sandi

 Hi.

 There are a3 scanners on the market, epson used to have some. I have an
 rather old one here, but unfortunately it is very slow on the mac, and it
 is not in all cases an advantage.

 Best regards Annie.

 Thank you, Cheryl for this.  When you say legal size paper, what size is
 it?  It would help me to understand this because when I read about
 various scanners, this term often appears.

 I, too, have my wishes for a scanner, and one of them - totally
 unreachable - is to have an a3 scanner so that I can scan books which
 have pages larger than a4 scanner can handle.

 Best wishes, Cheryl

 Actually I don't have the 9000F but the canon canoscan 110. It's
 lightweight and portable but seems slower than my lide60 that died. I
 was wondering about the 9000F myself. Really, although I like
 portability, there are two other things I would like if I were to buy a
 new scanner. (1) I would like something that handles legal size
 documents, and (2) I would like something with wireless capability to
 use with vuescan or some other app for i-devices. A bookedge type would
 be nice too but I don't think I'll get that with my other wishes. A
 camera instead would be a wonderful solution but honestly I've tried
 that, both with the iphone and a stand-alone scanner, and no matter how
 hard I try to follow the instructions, I can't get the quality I need to
 scan books; I know other people do it but it just doesn't ever work
 quite for me. Being able to just turn pages and snap pictures sounds
 ideal but it hasn't measured up to my hopes. But don't get me wrong; I
 do like my 110 and I'm not griping; just sharing what I would really
 like to have! I pretty much take my books apart to scan them which means
 I don't scan library books. With all the accessible electronics options
 out there for paperless books and with the audible options, I don't scan
 quite as much as I used to but I still scan a lot and I also scan pretty
 much all of my mail.

 Dear Cheryl and All,

 Cheryl you have recently been posting regarding FineReader application
 and you mentioned having a new scanner CanoScan 9000F.  Would you mind
 giving me your opinion on it?  How fast is it?  What size paper can you
 scan with it?

 Maybe others could share their thoughts on the scanners they use or
 have used in the past.

 Thanks very much

 Andrew

Re: Kenwood software for Mac

2014-05-01 Thread Robert C
   This is free software and it should be compatible with Voiceover tho 
I have not yet installed it on my Mac. Your radio is probably supported 
as well. There is a list of the supported models on the web site. Here 
is the link.

Hi,
I have a Kenwood HamRadio and was looking for programming software for use with 
VO on Mac.
I forget the model I use, all I can say is that. When it turns on, it has a 
lady that says. Channel mode 1. So perhaps, hopefully someone in the US who has 
that radio could tell me their model and it might match mine. I know it's not a 
THF6A for sure as this model didn't come with a rubber duck antenna.
