Re: Alex on IOS 8
I do like Daniel on any given platform, in fact i love the Realspeak or whatever they are called voices simply because it's the only company that provides Swedish voices for IOS if you don't want to go the Acapela route which i don't want to since it's so full of mispronounciations and other bad stuff that Nuance doesn't have. I use Alex as my english voice on the Mac since i'm too lazy to switch to another english voice. Personally it doesn't matter what voices are available, if they're good i use them if they're not i don't care. I could wish that the Ivona or the Loquendo voices were available for the mac and the IPhone cause i want to hear their swedish voices, other than that, speech synths are a personal preference, so therefore i think this discussion is pointless. /Krister 20 jun 2014 kl. 21:06 skrev David Taylor e.david.tay...@icloud.com: I agree.

more questions about braille displays
I like to research thoroughly before any purchase. I have asked about certain displays etc, and think I am decided on a braille edge. My question is general for those who have opinions pro or con. braille displays are expensive, and have a lot of moving parts. I worry about reliability. Is it worth it? I am also a fairly medium speed braille reader. I can do significantly more and go faster with voiceover. for those who use a lot of braille how do you feel about how productive it is? is it slower for you? I love braille, but my big question is do I want to go to something that is slower than voiceover. I guess I am looking for a pro/con list of getting a display from those who use one. thanks all. alia -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups MacVisionaries group.

Re: more questions about braille displays
I much prefer Braille for reading over audio. And now, hearing loss has made Braille even more important for me. I wish displays didn't have so many moving parts, but since they do, and Braille is very important to me, the hassle is worth it. Using Braille with OS X and iOS is different from Windows, naturally. I guess it's simply a matter of personal preference. If you rely heavily on Braille, then the current technology is useable, if not ideal. You might find out from dealers and manufacturers what their repair and maintenance policies are. Freedom Scientific has a flat repair program, which allows you to have the most common repairs done for a flat fee. I don't remember what that fee is at this point, but I paid $250 US several years ago for a cleaning and battery replacement. Or you can get a display that has easily replaceable batteries. Think about the ways you would use a display. Do you want one with a book reader and storage card? Do you want portability? I'm sorry I can't help you with the specific model you're considering, as I don't have any experience with it.

Re: more questions about braille displays
I read lots of books with my Braille display using Kindle, iBooks, and Bard. I only read audio books when I can't get them in Braille or I don't want to pay. (or can't pay). I'm such a Braille fanatic that I use my Focus 40 Blue with my iPod. I was never sure I wanted to scroll a whole bunch with a small Braille display. So carrying around a 40-cell one is no big deal for me, as it might be with others. Of course, I'm still used to carrying around my Braille Lite 40, which is much heavier than a Focus 40 Blue. If there's a way you can try reading books with a display, or working with it otherwise, you might get a better idea of what you want to do by doing so.

Re: more questions about braille displays
Hi Alia, My frame of reference on this is that while I have read braille for well over 50 years, when speech came along, I used that without braille for quite some time. I view braille as a supplement to speech. I also believe that reading braille on paper is not the same as reading on a braille display. Having said this, I will tell you that for lengthy reading I typically use speech. I also agree that Apple's implementation of braille needs work, and because of this, I don't care to read lengthy documents on Apple devices. I tend to use braille much more with Windows. I do appreciate the ability to either e-mail or text in braille. I think Teresa provided sound advice. It's always good to evaluate how you will use the display. Then you can determine how important those functions are to you and whether it justifies the expense of purchasing a display. Good luck.

Re: more questions about braille displays
I can not do without a braille display. For one thing, I can't remember telephone numbers so having information at my fingertips as it were really helps.

transferring files to my bookSens DM from the Mac
I am trying to transfer files from the Mac to my booksens DM flash drive and for some reason the BookSens is not recognized when I plug it in via USB to either the mac or the PC. Not sure why but it doesn't show up in the devices list. In fact the devices list doesn't show up at all because there are no other devices plugged in. Anyone else have this issue? It's weird that it's not recognized on either the Mac or the PC.

Re: more questions about braille displays

Re: managing music library with iTunes Match on
Good Day: With iTunes Match enabled, you remove an artist or album as normally through iTunes, except that there is an additional checkbox, Also delete these songs from iCloud, which you would check in order to remove the content from iTunes Match. As for adding, you need do nothing extra after importing the music to iTunes. It will simply appear as available to download on your other devices. HTH: Henry Education never ends.

Re: more questions about braille displays
I never had a refreshable braille display until I was well into college. Now, I don't know what I ever did without it. I am on my best experience with a braille display currently, a 32-cell Brailliant BI display from HumanWare. It has by far been the easiest display to use, and has the perkins-style keyboard which is nice for typing on my iPhone. Also, I like that you can update the firmware on it whenever humanware releases one. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups MacVisionaries group.

backing up with iTunes and iCloud together
Hi all, was wondering is it possible to backup with iTunes as well as iCloud together? So that I have two backup methods in case anything went wrong with the other. If so, how would you do this and insure that both methods are up to date e.g. in sync with each other. Thanks in advance for any wisdom on the matter.

Re: The new iMovie V10.x
Thanks Daniela, I hope so too. I need to make short movies fairly regularly for a video exchange musical instruction course and right now, V9 is my go to movie making app. I'll be watching for updates to iMovie.

Now, I have a lot of troubles pasting sound effects and changing clips duration. iMovie 9 is good for that! Well, hope they work a little further with the accessibility of this version.

backing up a iPhone without iTunes?
HI. Hi list. Am writing this message for a friend. I don't know the answers as I have iTunes and I am using a mac, he is using windows xp and currently doesn't have iTunes installed. ok. 1. We have enabled everything we can find on iCloud, is it possible to back up apps this way without installing itunes? 2. We double tapped on the wifi sinc and it said to plug phone in to iTunes and select wifi sinc. 3. Where is this option? 4. If the phone is sinked via wifi, does iTunes have to be kept on the computer? 5. does the computer have to be on while the phone is being sinked wirelessly? I think that's it if there are any more questions I will ask.
