Hi, Maurice: VoiceOver won't speak your Linux in a vm. For that you'll want either good old Speakup or the newer Fenrir. Beyond that it's really a question of where you'll be most comfortable. Lots of blind folks are using both thos distributions. If it matters I can tell you I'm not very good

Re: A couple Terminal questions

Hi, Andrew: Wow. You are moving forward quickly, Andrew. Congratulations! Quick Comment: I wouldn't worry about TDSR on Linux, unless you want to compare and contrast between it and Speakup and/or Fenrir. Of course, if you prefer it to those other two, by all means add it to your Linux! It also

Best way to do recorded remote interviews

Hello Janina, I think I’ve done it. I’ve made TDSR talk with Daniel, British voice. I’m exhausted and my nerves are jangling but I’m so glad. by the time I become a mediocre cli user, I shall probably become an alcoholic too. I got the same warning message I’m pasting just underneath:

Hi Unita, interesting take on the mailer situation and/or fix, did you ever get my message about which distribution makes the best sense to run on a virtual machine on the same computer as I only have one computer. And one note taker. I’m trying to decide between Ubuntu 19, or the talking

Friendly for Mac?

Simon, I would guess that it has to do with ergonomics and style. They like to make sure that there is no unnecessary bulk to their devices. Now, that being said, it is a huge inconvenience that the charging port is located where it is and have expressed it to many people I deal with. I

Hi Again, Andrew: Yeah, I can't say for sure, but I think I must have steered you to an out of date repository. I checked with my installation which runs as expected and got the following pointer: https://docs.brew.sh If you go there and follow the Installation link, you should have up to

Hi, Andrew: Homebrew should be fine with Sierra. It's possible the link in the page you got from me was old. That would explain the error you got. So, I'm thinking good clear instructions, but an old, out of date web pointer. I'll check that out for you. Meanwhile, there's no damage done. You

Dear Janina, Ok, so I have gone ahead and installed Homebrew. Everything seems to have gone ok apart from the fact that after executing the command to install Homebrew, I got a warning message saying that this installation was old and unsupported and whether I wanted to go ahead. I ddid go

Hi, Andrew: A couple responses to your questions here up top: 1.) Sounds -- Usually it's some kind of audio file, not speech. You might call it a boing, or a bleep, or whatever. In W3C we sometimes call them sonicons, or even earcons (punning on a mispelling of icons as eye cons). If you

Hi, Andrew: I can, and sbelow will, walk you through getting homebrew installed on your Mac. It's just useful to have it. What it does: Allows you to run a lot of Linux utilities directly on your Mac terminal. Now, for tdsr, which I presume means something like "terminal desktop screen

Janina, I’ve looked carefully at Greg’s suggestion and then did a search for Homebrew and TDSR and since the only thing i understand about Python is that it is one of the programming languages, I thought I’m too green around the gills to even attempt to play around with TDSR in case I mess up

Re: A couple Terminal questions

Simon, Andrew, All: Simon is correct. The correct switches will indeed allow you to write the output of any command to a file. This works everywhere, because everybody wants this kind of functionality--whether Mac, Windows, or Linux/Unix. It's called redirection, and it goes one of two ways:

RE: A couple Terminal questions

Hi Andrew, Terminal should let you do what your after, With the listing of files and if you use the correct switchs you should be able to write the list of files and associated data to a file I know it's possible to do this in ms dos and power shell, so I would think linux etc would do the
