Hi all Well I am not in the US either and I can tell you that the BBC has featured a piece on the American Authors' Guild and their dog in the manger attitude to this. Some authors have been mentioned in the course of this discussion. Can any of them be persuaded to speak out against this

Hi all I first cane across this when I looked into the speech on the Kindle itself, when it first came out with that function and couldn't believe the attitude of the Authors' Guild. It seems to me, if you buy a book, it shouldn't matter a damn whether you want to access the text by looking at a

Re: Mail Mail and spell check

Hi Bill and Colin I've also been having trouble with spellcheck in mail on Lion, usually OK in SL. What I have found is that when you check before sending, you used to be able to press escape to exit the spellcheck, for example, when you realised the check had progressed down to the earlier

Hi all It's not just people with hearing impairments who have trouble with these audio captchas. They are, generally speaking, of appalling quality. The ones which contain a sentence, as opposed to unrelated words and numbers, are a little easier, but really, how can any site think they are fit

Hi people, So how would saving an Audible book to an SD card work? Would you be able to do that without messing around with start times? I'd would also like to copy a 13 hour radio series, which I have on CD, to an SD card. My guess would be, from reading this conversation, that I should make it

Hello I just asked Apple Accessibility that very same question and this is what they said. To remove a Desktop - When you have the VoiceOver cursor in the Spaces list, begin interacting and then use VoiceOver to navigate to a desktop you wish to delete. Press VO-cmd-f2 and then press return.

Guys, I am fed up of audio captcha. My Member of Parliament currently has a question in to the UK Prime Minister about use of audio capcha on government websites. I know it's a drag, but we need to challenge these things every time we come across them. I was on a site the other day which had a

Helo You can also switch it on and off via VO HH, the commands help menu under general commands. I haven't found that screen curtain affects VO. I keep it switched on on my iPhone, but usually only put it on my MBP if I'm in a meeting and don't want my neighbour to see what I'm writing:) Best

Hi I was missing the visited and non-visited links from the SL version of the rotor, So was pleased to find I could add these categories to the Lion rotor. However, VO doesn't speak what the links are to. Am I doing something wrong? There doesn't seem to be much point in being able to add these
