Re: WhisperSync for Voice.
Hi. I have tried using that with my Braille display and it works great! I can read in Braille until I get tired, then I can switch to audio right there in the app with no problems. When I want Braille again, I can switch back just as easily and the display will be where the Audible audio stopped. Jane On Feb 13, 2015, at 2:08 PM, Alan Lemly wale...@gmail.com wrote: I'll add to Myrna's comments below that WhisperSync is designed to allow sighted users who start reading a book visually to be able to move to their cars and take up at the same location in the Audible book with spoken narration. I imagine that this is where the Sync in the name originates. I expect this would also work if you're reading the Kindle version of the book with TTS in the Kindle app or reader although I have not tested this. I will say that one book I wanted to read was less expensive to get the Kindle version, add the Audible WhisperSync than what it would have cost to use one of my Audible credits. But I don't expect this will occur very often.

Hi, WhisperSync refers to the Audible version of the book. So, if you purchase a Kindle eBook, and then you choose to purchase what they are calling WhisperSync, you would be purchasing the Audible version of the book. What you then have is an audio book, read by a human narrator, in the Audible format. You can play the Audible version in the Audible app on an I Device, or if you have an audiobook player, such as the Victor Reader Stream, the book can be played on such a player. If you have a Kindle, there is a built-in Audible app on it, as well. Myrna On Feb 11, 2015, at 5:17 PM, Kawal Gucukoglu kgli...@icloud.com wrote: Hello All.

Re: command for switching between open files in an app

Re: reading bookshare xml files
The best way I have found to do this is to get Voice Dream Reader if you have a portable device like an iPhone iPad or iPod, get the book there and then save the library The book will then be in plain text on your computer and you can read it that way. There's an idea! Maybe Winston will considering making Voice Dream Reader for the Macs, too Hmm Jane On Jan 3, 2015, at 11:06 AM, Jean radiofore...@gmail.com wrote: Hello All: I have a book from Bookshare and I want to read the xml file on my computer.

Adding Content To Playlists
Hi everyone. I know there is a way to add items to a playlist by copying them from whatever location they are direct into the playlist after I hit the add to playlist button, but they don't always end up in the right place--usually at the end. Is there a better way to do this, short of going to Recently Added (which in my case has several thousand items since I am rebuilding my library) finding each file, and doing it via the context menu?

Reading Subtitles
Is there any way to read the subtitles to a video in iTunes with Braille at all? Very curious, because there is this very fun-sounding DVD we got for Eric for Christmas--sounds like something I would thoroughly enjoy, in fact--but it's in Hindi with some English, but still. Trying to figure out any way I can follow along somehow. It's Dhoom-3 if anyone is curious and has ideas. :) Also, the music is fun.

Skyrates Help - Yes Mac related
I have created a character at http://skyrates.net Ironically, the process is totally accessible! You can create the character from start to finish with only one audio captcha that is clear and easy to understand. Past that point, though, it's hard to play, I can't fly a plane, because of the flash, I also can't participate in chat beyond General. What I am wondering is if there is a way to make VO click on the right word, Roleplay, Help or whatever, so that I can switch to that chat window. For that matter, I am wondering if it's remotely possible to fly at all, or if I am just dreaming and I have to resign myself to plain old general chat. I use this link: http://skyrates.jusque.net/skylight/ to chat, if that helps and if anyone is willing to look at this.

Close all windows and quit all applications. 2. Up to the Apple menu. 3. Down to Restart. As you hear the startup chime, press down the cmd key and the r key simultaneously. You can get yourself ready while the computer is going through the motions of shutting down so that your fingers are ready when the startup chime sounds. 4. Hold down those keys for about 3 or 4 seconds after the startup chime ends then release. 5. Wait for at least one minute then try pressing cmd-f5 to see if VO will start. If it doesn't start, then wait a another 30 seconds or so and try turning VO on again. 6. Once it's on, VO-space on the Continue button to choose English as your language or change as needed. On occasion, I've seen it where the Language Chooser doesn't appear, if that's the case, then you'll be at the Recovery dialog. 7. Interact with the Table and choose re-Install. 8. Stop Interacting with the Table then navigate to the continue button and press it with VO-space. 9. Follow the prompts to complete the installation. It will likely ask for your Apple ID and confirm that you really want to do this. It will also ask you to agree to all the license terms, you know, giving up your first born and such. After all that, it will download the installer from the AppStore and go through the re-installation process. It should restart after a while and you may need to turn VO back on so that you can determine its progress. After everything is done, it hopefully will be back to normal. Good luck. Later...

External Drives, CDs, and DVD problems
I *think* this started after upgrading to the newest Mavericks, but not sure. Whenever I put in a CD, or a DVD, or whenever I plug in one of my four thumb drives or the one external hard drive, I have to manually go into Disc Utility and tell it to mount.

Updating to Mavericks
Hi eveyrone. When I looked in the app store on this Macbook Pro I saw a button that let me upgrade to Mavericks, but when I look on my daughter's Mac, I don't seem to see it. Will it just not be there if the Mac can't be upgraded? She's running Snow Leopard. The trouble i, I can't find what kin of Mac it is, even under About This Mac. No year or anything like that.

Archive and Reinstall

iTunes Question
I have downloaded the newest iTunes, the one you have to have before upgrading to IOS7. It seems to be snappier, but now I am having an issue with podcasts. If I tell it to delete a podcast episode before it's downloaded, it won't let me delete it. I have had to unsubscribe from several podcasts because there are way too many episodes that are not downloaded that I have already listened to. Is this fixable?

Re: To the person wanting feedback on Kindle app and braille
I dont know if it's unique to Kindle. In some iBooks, I can get lag when panning. I use a RefreshaBraille 18. I notice that in the Kindle app in particular there is a delay if I make the font size very very smal. I like the size to be small so more text can fit on a page, but I get very frustrated with the delay when trying to read with Braille that way. I either have to turn the font size up to a bigger one, or only listenwith speech.

Re: Ibooks Coming to the Mac

When syncing to an iDevice there's always the option to use SD for movies and TV shows. Anyway, apparently if you go to the iTunes Store, interact with the Web Content Area or whatever name it goes by, and then click on the Purchased link, down the bottom there will be a checkbox which says download in HD when available. You can uncheck this, delete all your HD TV shows, and when you re-download them they'll be in SD.

Re: Kindle now accessible on IOS with Voiceover.
The reason the papers are so different is probably because NFB only gets the free content. We don't pay, so we don't get access to *everything*.

The big difference is the selection. There are just more books available for Kindle than for iBooks--much as I like iBooks.

On iBooks I was able to read continuously page by page and I could touch to read a line but I couldn't figure out how to read the previous or next line. The rotor let me choose to flick through characters and headings but not lines. If it was reading continuously it would flip pages automatically but I could only manually turn the page by going to the page chooser and then flicking up and down. Probably just some gestures I don't know about. I thought a three finger flick left/right would turn the page like moving between pages of apps in the main screens.

Re: Mactubes
It definitely *is* possible to download videos from MacTubes. It takes fiddling, but it *is* doable. You have to put in the URL for the video and start it playing, Then you have to find the first unlabeled button to the right of the playing video then hit control-option-shift-m and arrow down till you hear download submenu then hit right-arrow and arrow down to the video format you want. I tend to use MP4. Then watch the slider to the right until it says 100% and the video will be ownloaded.

Re: sort of OT: ripping DVDs with description track?
The best way to rip DVDs that have auio description is to tell it to rip all traks. You go into the audio tab and hit add all tracks. It will include the audio description track then.

A couple of our DVDs include a description track, and I am wondering how to include it? I only started using Handbrake today, and of course no tutorial mentions descriptions, so any suggestions would be great. Needless to say I am using the afore mentioned mac to do the ripping and storing, so instructions in the mac language, not windows, would be perfect. Thanks.

Also, if voiceover happens to be talking, I have found pressing the control key real quickly before issuing the command is a good idea these days. I hope this can be fixed pretty soon.

Re: Editing with audacity
Audacity hates me. If I try to use the brackets, one or the other will go away. If I try to do shift-j it doesn't appear to take. I don't get it I guess I will try again tomorrow. I am just trying to get The Lord of the Rings--the trilogoy that I was given for Christmas several years ago, ripped where each chapter is its own file, and the Foreward and Prologue are in their right places.

Press p again to play, then p yet again at the end of the audio to keep and shift-k to select to the end. Finally, cmd-k to erase the selection. If that fails, try shift-home and shift-end, and/or cmd-k after each selection instead of after both. If that doesn't work, try just hitting left bracket on the start of the audio to keep, right bracket at the end, and then export selection in the file menu. This will let you save that part of the audio as its own file and leave the original intact. On Sep 2, 2012, at 9:24 PM, Jane juanitatig...@gmail.com wrote: Hi Listers.

Re: converting text to MP3
What doers the o stand for, and can you keep it from reading the text aloud? I am wondering if it will be any faster than my automator workflow. Jane On Aug 29, 2012, at 2:21 PM, Chris Blouch wrote: There is probably some clever way to do it from the GUI but I'm comfortable doing stuff in terminal so here is how I would do it. Get a text file with what you want said. In terminal do say -o audiofile.aiff textfile.txt That will use voiceover to generate an aiff audio file of the spoken version of whatever text is in textfile.txt. You can then load up that AIFF into iTunes to convert it to mp3 or use Sox if you have that installed. You can specify the audio file format to be something else but mp3 was not one of the choices. In playing around I found it to be quite fast - about a 20:1 ratio for performance. In other words it took 1 seconds to generate 20 seconds of spoken text audio.
