Web conferencing

Does anyone know if there is free web conferencing software for the MAC? I participate on a Talking communities (TC) web conference site that has a windows based client. I can use my MAC to connect, but can only text, while everyone else uses microphones. I would like to use my micropho

Oh this is good. Back translation from BRF files to text files was going to be my next big thing to tackel. Glad there is a program that does this and it's on the same site as one of the daisy book programs. LOL How cool is that? Thanks On 7/3/09, Josh de Lioncourt wrote: > > > Back translating

Back translating is really the best way to go. I mean, if you're reading with a braille display, TextEdit or any other text editing program should do the trick for you. If you want the TTS to read it, then what you're looking for is an app to do back translation on the fly. Either way, it

Well, no, I just want to hit command O on a brf file that I download from CNIB and read it. Does anything do that? I guess if I had to I would back translate them but that seems like a wasted step. Best, erik burggraaf A+ sertified technician and user support consultant. Phone: 888-255-519

Chris I think your correct, we are straying off topic here, but at the same time I think folks will benefit from a little headphone discussion to better hear VoiceOver with. My problem with the noise canceling headphones I've tried make me feel like my head is under a lot of pressure. Sort

Does sound great and the Schur I own are like that. YOu really have to fit them down in the ear and push the wax out of the way, um, I mean well if you had any. :) Seriously though the right fit can make all the difference in the world in how the sound is projected. In fact it matters even

After playing more with the headphones, I found, at least for me that the medium sized tips work wonders! You admittedly do have to jammem pretty deep in your ear canal to get the best effect though. Notice I said jammem! I didn't say crammem! There is? a difference. Then under settings, P

Thanks Chris, that is what I suspected on the fit and recording ability, but still they sound very nice. I think the voice memo was just that, a way to record notes to yourself, but well wishful thinking. :) I believe there is an accessory from Griffin or some such company that does what I

I've not played enough to really comment, with these, but you get 3 different size cilicon tips that you can change out. So, yeah. They seem to fit pretty well. The only thing I don't like is they feel kind a like they'd fall out, even though they don't seem to do so no matter what I do. I

Thanks for the description and operation of these. I wish they could record in stereo, that would be quite a handy feature. :) The one thing I would be curious about is how well they stay in the ear. I have two sets of ear buds here and one is made by Sony and they were about $20, but what
