Re: dictation question
Hi All. Referring to a iMac27, localized in italian, with Mavericks. I've never been succesful with dictation. I tried both advanced (used offline also) and normal (where you must be connected to the net), the second one gives me some better results but it is absolutely failing compared to the dictation on iOS. Anyone else got my some experience? Any tips and tricks to get it better? Gabriel. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups MacVisionaries group.

Hello Jonathan. I have tried updating it but I get the message saying failed to update Braille Display. No word from Freedom Scientific yet. Can you help? Write to me off list if you can. Thanks.

Re: Bluetooth Barcode Scanners and Digit-Eyes
Hi, Erik, It is great to know that Digit-Eyes developers realised that some people would prefer using a barcode scanner as opposed to the iPhone camera. To your knowledge, can this scanner be successfully used for other purposes, or is it strictly limited to barcode scanning applications? Your input has been very helpful to me; thank you! Mike On 11,Jun,2014, at 02:14, erik burggraaf e...@erik-burggraaf.com wrote: Hi Mike, It's as I said. The kdc is fully intergrated with digit-eyes. Once pared it beeps the bar codes and instantly finds the information directly in digit-eyes. Most other bar code readers act as a HID device. That means the I device treats them as a bluetooth keyboard. The digit-eyes web site can use them, but HID devices are not intergrated into the digit-eyes app. I have only one issue with the kdc and that is it frequently has to be repared with the I device. I had planned to work on this, but I haven't had the time and now I'm going to lose access to the equipment.

Re: Bluetooth Braille Displays
I have not had problems with my Mac waking from the Braille Edge.

As for updating, the Braille Edge updates on the Mac fine. You just save out to a SD card and follow the instructions on the Braille Edge.

Re: a good youtube player for the mac?
I've been noticing lately that the version I have has been doing this weird thing where it likes to play all the videos 1 after the other after I close out of the one I've selected, which gets old fast, and now almost never lets me download any of them.

credit card devices that work with the IPhone.
I currently run a business where I sell food mixes, which I usually just try to promote through our web site, but I had some leftovers I took somewhere to try to sell one time and was asked if I took creditcards, then was told they make machines that attach to your phone which I'd never heard of.

Re: a good youtube player for the mac?
I used to use Mactubes, but I then discovered Youview, which is far superior. The only thing is that it won't let you save videos until you make a donation to the developer, much like an in-app purchase. You can give only a dollar or two, though, and that should unlock the feature. Aside from that, it works wonderfully, and seems more stable and easy to use than Mactubes.

Re: Bluetooth Braille Displays

Re: credit card devices that work with the IPhone.
You are looking for the Square credit card reader. It is free, and Square takes a small percentage of every transaction you make as payment. It connects to your headphone jack, so generally people plug it in, turn VO off, have the customer swipe their card and then sign their name on the screen, then remove the card reader and re-enable VO. Unfortunately, there is no headphone jack on the reader, so there is no way to hear VO while conducting a transaction.

The move is likely in an attempt to push the iTunes Store and iTunes Radio, as well as to clean up the App Store ahead of an overhaul in iOS 8. A search for the term 'music download' in the App Store displays a message inviting users to try out iTunes Radio, Padilla reports. Previously, the same search would show results for a number of apps that could download music and audio files from websites such as Soundcloud and YouTube, with many appearing on the App Store's 'Top Charts' section. Padilla reports, Some developers have also noted that Apple has asked them to remove audio downloading functionalities from their app, perhaps to prevent potential piracy. *Read more in the full article here http://www.macrumors.com/2014/06/10/apple-removing-music-downloading-apps/.* [Thanks to MacDailyNews Reader Lynn Weiler for the heads up.] *MacDailyNews http://macdailynews.com/author/macdailynews/* | Tuesday, June 10, 2014 at 10:53 am | Tags: App Store http://macdailynews.com/?tag=app-store, Apple http://macdailynews.com/?tag=apple, iTunes radio http://macdailynews.com/?tag=itunes-radio, itunes store http://macdailynews.com/?tag=itunes-store, music http://macdailynews.com/?tag=music, music apps http://macdailynews.com/?tag=music-apps, music downloading apps http://macdailynews.com/?tag=music-downloading-apps, music piracy http://macdailynews.com/?tag=music-piracy, SoundCloud http://macdailynews.com/?tag=soundcloud, YouTube http://macdailynews.com/?tag=youtube | Categories: News http://macdailynews.com/?cat=103 | URL: http://wp.me/p19WFc-yX5 Comment http://macdailynews.com/2014/06/10/apple-removing-music-downloading-apps-from-app-store/#respond See all comments http://macdailynews.com/2014/06/10/apple-removing-music-downloading-apps-from-app-store/#comments Unsubscribe https://subscribe.wordpress.com/?key=7dec5edb203752be92f56264ccf603ddemail=christopherh40%40gmail.comb=%3FfLQU0uMwqfY%3FLV%2Fzq%260a11c%7ClVYceENadY%26l%7CEMIS-7CEUx%2C%5D to no longer receive posts from MacDailyNews.

Re: [New post] Apple removing music downloading apps from App Store
I usually don't chime in on these sorts of things but had a few thoughts as I see both sides. 1. Sending multiple emails with short updates does tend to clutter up an in-box and do take time to delete; especially for those of us who travel for work and view/remove our email via our iPhone. 2. That being said, the information does tend to be interesting, so perhaps a compromise can be reached? 3. Would it be possible to place all updates in a daily digest, as opposed to sending them individually? Or perhaps an apple OS/IOS update list serve could be created just for this purpose? I do tend to view this list as a sort of tech-support list for blind users of Mac products, not a list for every tidbit of potential information.

Padilla reports, Some developers have also noted that Apple has asked them to remove audio downloading functionalities from their app, perhaps to prevent potential piracy. *Read more in the full article here http://www.macrumors.com/2014/06/10/apple-removing-music-downloading-apps/.* [Thanks to MacDailyNews Reader Lynn Weiler for the heads up.] *MacDailyNews http://macdailynews.com/author/macdailynews/* | Tuesday, June 10, 2014 at 10:53 am | Tags: App Store http://macdailynews.com/?tag=app-store, Apple http://macdailynews.com/?tag=apple, iTunes radio http://macdailynews.com/?tag=itunes-radio, itunes store http://macdailynews.com/?tag=itunes-store, music http://macdailynews.com/?tag=music, music apps http://macdailynews.com/?tag=music-apps, music downloading apps http://macdailynews.com/?tag=music-downloading-apps, music piracy http://macdailynews.com/?tag=music-piracy, SoundCloud http://macdailynews.com/?tag=soundcloud, YouTube http://macdailynews.com/?tag=youtube | Categories: News http://macdailynews.com/?cat=103 | URL: http://wp.me/p19WFc-yX5 Comment http://macdailynews.com/2014/06/10/apple-removing-music-downloading-apps-from-app-store/#respond See all comments http://macdailynews.com/2014/06/10/apple-removing-music-downloading-apps-from-app-store/#comments Unsubscribe https://subscribe.wordpress.com/?key=7dec5edb203752be92f56264ccf603ddemail=christopherh40%40gmail.comb=%3FfLQU0uMwqfY%3FLV%2Fzq%260a11c%7ClVYceENadY%26l%7CEMIS-7CEUx%2C%5D to no longer receive posts from MacDailyNews.

Re: [New post] Apple’s Swift is instant hit among top programming languages
One of the things I find fascinating about this is that no one had any clue that this was coming. They’ve obviously been working on this for years and it never leaked. It’s going to be very interesting to see what an impact this has on the programming community as a whole and not just the apple development community. Objective C became just a nitch language and never really was adopted outside of Apple. I’m not sure that’s going to be the case here. As for as I know, this is the first programming language that acts like a scripting language, but generates processor native code. Thanks for the post.

Both the Tiobe and PyPL indexes already have plans to accommodate Swift, Krill reports. 'A preview shows that its first rating will probably in the top 20 by [the July Tiobe index]. Swift is a natural and long-awaited next step of Apple,' this month's Tiobe index description said. The monthly index, which gauges language popularity via a formula assessing searches on languages on sites like Google, Wikipedia, and YouTube, has shown Swift's predecessor, the Objective-C language, ranking not far behind C and Java in language popularity in recent years. In the rival PyPL index, which looks at how often language tutorials are searched on in Google, a representative already has done a brief assessment on Swift, Krill reports. 'Yes, it would come in ninth position, based on the first week of data since its announcement,' said Pierre Carbonnelle, who oversees the index... With a 6.6 percent share, Objective-C ranks eighth on the PyPL index, which notes the language has been climbing in popularity. *Read more in the full article here http://www.infoworld.com/t/application-development/apples-swift-instant-hit-among-top-programming-languages-244013.* *Related articles:* Swift: Apple’s next-gen programming language 4 years in the making http://macdailynews.com/2014/06/04/swift-apples-next-gen-programming-language-4-years-in-the-making/ - June 4, 2014 Why developers are going nuts over Apple’s new ‘Swift’ programming language http://macdailynews.com/2014/06/03/why-developers-are-going-nuts-over-apples-new-swift-programming-language/ - June 3, 2014 Apple just delivered a knockout blow to Android with iOS 8 http://macdailynews.com/2014/06/02/apple-just-delivered-a-knockout-blow-to-android-with-ios-8/ - June 2, 2014 Xcode 6 features resizable device simulators, paving way for iPhones with new screen sizes http://macdailynews.com/2014/06/02/xcode-6-features-resizable-device-simulators-paving-way-for-iphones-with-new-screen-sizes/ - June 2, 2014 WWDC 2014: Apple sets the scene for its next decade https://macdailynews.com/2014/06/02/wwdc-2014-apple-sets-the-scene-for-its-next-decade/ - June 2, 2014 Apple unveils new versions of OS X and iOS, major iCloud update with iCloud Drive http://macdailynews.com/2014/06/02/apple-unveils-new-versions-of-os-x-and-ios-major-icloud-update-with-icloud-drive/ - June 2, 2014 Apple’S WWDC news bores investors, not developers http://macdailynews.com/2014/06/02/apples-wwdc-news-bores-investors-not-developers/ - June 2, 2014 Apple’s HealthKit aims to unite wearables and fitness apps http://macdailynews.com/2014/06/02/apples-healthkit-aims-to-unite-wearables-and-fitness-apps/ - June 2, 2014 Apple releases iOS 8 SDK with over 4,000 new APIs http://macdailynews.com/2014/06/02/apple-releases-ios-8-sdk-with-over-4000-new-apis/ - June 2, 2014 Apple unveils iOS
Partitioning
Hi, I partitioned my MBA's drive in order to make a partition for betas and testing purposes. Half way through, I decided to simply use an external solidstate drive instead, because partitioning an already small SSD (256 GB) will just hurt my productivity on the main side of things. I removed the 50 GB partition I'd made, then jumped the Macintosh HD partition back up to 250.14 GB (which is how big the drive is). Oddly enough, before I did partition, the Macintosh HD was showing up as 250.66, not 250.14, so I'm not entirely sure where the other .52 went. It did this fine, and I rebooted to ensure my changes had a clean slate to work on. Here's the weird part though. Before entering this whole partitioning thing, I had about 57 GB used out of 256 GB. Now, pressing command+I on the Macintosh HD shows that I have 250.14 GB total, and 175 GB is used. Checking it a few moments later, it's now at 179 GB used, with only 70 gb free. It's slowly increasing! What is going on? Something is sucking up my disk space and I can't figure it out. I've checked activity monitor and any other things I've downloaded, so I highly doubt it's anything maliscious. Any ideas?

Re: credit card devices that work with the IPhone.
No. According to several users, it is a rare splitter that works; most don't. Why this is I have no idea. Bluetooth headphones are similarly ineffective, since iOS switches to the headphone jack per bluetooth when a device is connected to the jack.

Re: Question about VM processor and memory allotment
Usually the default works fine, but, give Windows half of what you have. So, if you have a quad core processor, set fusion for duel core. If you have a duel core processor, set it for one core.

Re: Bluetooth Barcode Scanners and Digit-Eyes
Hi again Mike, The kdc is only for scanning bar codes. It has a laser scanner that is exclusively for that purpose.

So I'll address each point here at the top. 1. My cable came with the Index basic and I didn't have to go find a prolific driver and cable. Maybe that is part of what the driver and application do though I do also happen to have prolific cables because of using brltty. Maybe it's been fixed but from Lion on, sometimes the official prolific driver caused problems; for instance, unplugging it without killing brltty first caused spontaneous reboot of my computer and I learned by searching online that this was not a brltty problem but was related to the prolific driver's interaction with the OS. And on one of my computers, installing the prolific driver did not result in a cu.usbserial or any other cu. device in /dev. So I looked around online and found that somebody had done a driver, though I had to directly install the kernel extension instead of just running an installer. The naming ends up being different from what the official driver did but it does start with a cu prefix. Btw I think that keyspan cables are no longer useable at all; I have a few of those too. The change in driver solved both issues. I'll post the links in case anybody needs them. But because I kind of went down a rabbit trail here let me again say that the cable that came with the Index Basic I have worked out of the box for me along with the driver and application.

I didn't actually use it for embossing but it could be done. I think I had help in doing a patch at one time for the Mac but I don't know if I still have it or if it would still work - this was a long time ago. 3. In addition to louis, which was done by Greg Kearney in order to implement liblouis on the Mac,, there are liblouis and liblouisutdml, which I use on the command line after compiling and installing. There are a few little quirks but I was able to install them on the Mac. I also now have them installed on an old powerpc Mac mini which I have turned into a debian linux machine. Unless Greg has fixed the problem in louis,, the right tables aren't being loaded for Spanish - I don't know about other languages. Part of the problem had to do with UTF8 character sets but I would have to go back and look at my notes and email exchanges with John Boyer and the related email lists to really give an accurate explanation. The result was that most of my accents were not being translated if I tried to use Louis but I would instead get these codes offset by single quotes if I remember correctly. 3. I think that somewhere with using liblouis and liblouisutdml and maybe other components, there is a program for doing rtf but I haven't ever tried it. While I do use liblouis and company successfully, it is not automatic conversion by any means. I have to do a lot of formatting within the text file to get what I want in the braille file and even then I have to do editing in the braille file too. Some of this may be my ignorance as to the proper way to do things but just be warned if you use it, there is definitely work and problem-solving involved.

It generates a /dev/cu.usbserial device which you send the braille for embossing. Not sure if I needed the Index driver too but I installed it. I had used nfbtrans on a linux command line so grabbed that. However, it was not going to work on the Mac. There is a Mac patch copy floating about which I eventually found. This works OK but is limited. Then there is Louis a GUI accessible program. This works too. However, only with text files. RTF and HTML etc files just seem to crash and don't work for me.
