Mark's Recommendation for a Great iPad Screen Protector
Hello All, Recently, I purchased a 10.5 inch iPad Pro. Even though the device has a marvelous retina display, I began to regret touching it primarily because of the fact that it seems to attract dust and finger-oil particles and smudges more than any other Apple device I've ever owned. I checked with a buddy of mine, at the Apple Store, and he readily concurred with my finding. In short, unlike with my beloved iPhone 8 Plus, with its tempered glass screen protector onboard, my fingers would not slide smoothly across the surface of the iPad Pro because of the rapid buildup of dust and oil particles. So, after conducting much research, I came across a tempered glass screen protector for my iPad Pro for a little less than $10. I have been using it for a couple of days, now, and it is absolutely fantastic. In fact, I would say that the iPad Pro display is now as enjoyable to touch as my 8 Plus in that my fingers slide smoothly across the surface because there is no longer any rapid buildup of dust and oil particles. I am going to post a link to the iPad 10.5 Pro product as it is listed on Amazon but please note that the company does make tempered glass screen protectors for virtually all of the iPad product lines. Also note that, while the product is easy to install, I recommend that you have a sighted person perform the installation. Based on my experience, all things being equal, including the cleaning of your iPad display, installation could take anywhere from 5 to 20 minutes. Good Luck and Enjoy, Mark Product Description: amFilm Glass Screen Protector for iPad Air 3 (2019) 10.5 inch, iPad Pro 10.5 (2017) (2 Pack) Tempered Glass, Apple Pencil Compatible.

PrimePhonic an app for a Classical Music lovers
I am basically happy with Apple Music, except when it comes to classical, one of my favorite genres. I recently read about an app called prime phonic, and I just downloaded it and signed up for my free 14 day trial. You don’t have to give them a credit card for the 14 day trial, so if you tried and don’t like it, you don’t need to do anything. But if you want to keep it, then you have to subscribe within the 14 day trial time time limit. I just got it today, and I think there are some Accessibility issues having to do with whatever shows up on the opening screens, such that you can flip through and hear nothing from voiceover, but then flip back and hear what the text is. But the search and browse and tabs etc., those are all accessible. And they work well. If you are a classical music lover, you should really get this app and take it for a 14 day free trial. The subscriptions are eight dollars for the so-called premium subscription, which gives you 320 KBBPS which is the same as Apple I think. Or $14 a month for lossless streaming of albums that they have available with that format. If you are willing to pay for a whole year, you can get a 17% discount off of either service. I think it’s definitely worth checking into. I have not found a service like Spotify Apple Music etc., that is so dedicated for classical listeners. So if you were one of those, check it out.

Re: chrome settings
Hi, To toggle ChromeVox on/off, it's ctrl+cmd+a+a, that's like a double-tap of the "a" key, not a single press. Similarly for the "o" in the other command. Later...

Re: chrome settings
Hello Gene, I assume you are talking about the ChromeVox internal Speech extension. I haven’t used this on the Macintosh in over a year, and Chrome did change their VOX on Chrome Books significantly. What ET mentioned is unless I read it wrong, for the VoiceOver screen reader. > On Apr 26, 2019, at 1:15 PM, jean parker wrote: > > Hi Tim: > > I am still trying to figure out how to manage the speech settings in chrome. > Control plus command plus a to toggle speech on and off does nothing nor does > control plus command plus o to adjust the speed of the voice. > Please help and thanks, > Jean > > > > > Dr. Jean Parker, Ph.D. > Senior Research Fellow > Trans4m Center For Integral Development > Geneva, Switzerland > > -- > The following information is important for all members of the Mac Visionaries > list. > > If you have any questions or concerns about the running of this list, or if > you feel that a member's post is inappropriate, please contact the owners or > moderators directly rather than posting on the list itself. > > Your Mac Visionaries list moderator is Mark Taylor.
