Re: Get a Scanner to work in a different O.S. Was: Re: Abby Finer Reading. Was: Re: Reading PDF files on the mac
The workaround for this is to try using VueScan which can interface between your scanner and Abbey Finereader. Unfortunately even this solution did not work for me as my scanner was not even supported on VueScan. However look at http://www.hamrick.com/ There is a trial version I think which would definitely tell you whether VueScan will be able to see your scanner on the Mac.

Hi, Kind of a backwards way of doing things, but try this. • When the message from this person is open. • Interact with the Message Header area. • Press cmd-a to select its contents. • open TextEdit. • press cmd-shift-t to change the format to Plain text. • Paste in the results of your copy. The eMail address will be between the pointies right after their name. HTH. Later...

Siri not available problem resolved
a few days ago I sent a message about a condition where siri and other apps like safari would only work on wifi and wouldn’t use cellular data to connect to the internet. Well, it turned out that I had just replaced the SIM card a few days earlier and ATT accidentally shut off my data plan on my account. I had a genus bar appointment today to figure out why no apps would work on cellular data and Apple wound up giving me a new out-of-box iPhone5 rather than bother trouble shooting the problem. Then, after setting up the new iPhone5 only to find the problem still persisted, they scratched their heads and sent me down the hall to ATT for a new SIM card. ATT put me back on a data plan ($10 cheaper per month than my old plan) and problem solved. The Apple tech was great and knew as much about VoiceOver as I do - very professional and I wound up with a brand new iPhone5 out of the whole snafu. This is why I love Apple, they always treat me right. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups MacVisionaries group.

Re: Voice Dream Reader Prob. resolved. This may help others.
Mike, When you say you transferred your voice stream files from your old phone to your new one, did you do it via iTunes? If not, how? I have an iPad mini that has a lot of stuff on it invoice stream. But I never use iTunes to back that iPad up. I have always just used the cloud, and over the air software updating. I certainly don't look forward to the day when I have to replace that iPad and have to re-download all that stuff. Do I have to sync my iPad via iTunes to get the back up?

The problem was that I was unable to look up words in the dictionary. After writing to Voice Dream support, the issue was speedily resolved. This may help others: I had upgraded from an iPhone 4s to an iPhone 6. When transferring all of my files, apps and settings from the older phone to the newer one, all of the books in my Voice Dream Reader library safely migrated on to my iPhone 6. What didn’t make the trip were the dictionaries that I had downloaded. So if you migrate from one phone to another, and even if all the books appear in the Voice Dream Reader library, you’ll still need to re-download any dictionaries you wish to use.

Re: Get a Scanner to work in a different O.S. Was: Re: Abby Finer Reading. Was: Re: Reading PDF files on the mac
Hello Gabriel, Most scanners are made to work from a twain driver so check out the twain sane interface. It’s not as nice as the GUI tools but a little of reading might just keep familiar hardware going. From memory it involved installing about 5 little programs within the terminal. But that was some years ago for a different scanner. Take a look at this: http://www.ellert.se/twain-sane/ Good luck.

Yes, officially they don't list Mac OS among the supported O.S. It's the first time I face such problem and onestly I don't know how to solve it. Should I search for drivers by using my scanner's name and MAC OSX? How do you fix this issue or, what do you suggest me to try? Many many thanks.

Re: new macbook user making the trancision from windows
Hi Ted, You should set your function keys to work as software function keys first. The Mac defaults to hardware function. That way you won’t have to keep pressing the FN key along with the function keys to invoke the VoiceOver functions. To do this, go to System Preferences as follows: 1 Press VO M (VO = control and option keys together). that puts you in the menu bar on the Apple icon. Press VO down arrow until you reach system preferences and press enter. 2 In system preferences press tab and then type K to get to the keyboard button and then press VO spacebar to activate the button and enter the keyboard dialog. 3 Press VO spacebar on the keyboard tab and then VO arrow right until you reach the checkbox that says “use all F1, F2, F3 keys etc as standard function keys”. Press VO spacebar to check it. This is probably one of the most important settings you can make as a new Mac user in my opinion. Now, to get VoiceOver to come up talking at logon: 1Go into system prefs again and VO spacebar on “the users and groups” button. Pressing U will jump to that button. 2 in the “users, Groups, and login options” list, interact with the list and select login options. Now stop interacting with the list and VO right arrow all the way over to the “click the lock to make changes” button. 3 VO spacebar on the button . This password dialog doesn’t give any feedback, so just type your password and press enter. 4 Back in the login options dialog with the lock unlocked, VO arrow to “use VoiceOver in logon window” and VO spacebar to check it. Now VO arrow back over to “click the lock to prevent further changes” and press it. That’s it, Now VoiceOver will come up talking at logon. Now, as to the Volume gain issue. I think someone referred to it as sound dock”. That might have been confusing. I think they meant sound ducking, which is a feature found in the VoiceOver Utility. It causes system sounds including music etc to “duck” whenever VoiceOver starts talking. To turn it off, do the following: 1 Press VO F8 to bring up the VoiceOver utility. Incidently, this is a good example of why you set the function keys to act as software function keys. If they were left as Hardware function keys, you’d have to add the FN key to that key combo and all other VO functions that use the function keys. 2in the categories table, interact and select “sound”. Stop interacting with the table and VO arrow right to the “enable audio ducking” checkbox and uncheck it if necessary with VO spacebar.That should take care of the volume fluctuation problem. One other thing I would strongly suggest to you as a new Mac user is to study the “getting started guide” and explore the other options in the VoiceOver help system. Pressing VO +H brings up the VoiceOver help system. Keyboard help is especially useful for learning the keyboard and all the VoiceOver command shortcuts, and the getting started guide is a definitive manual for voiceover that is well laid out and easy to read. It’ll answer a million questions. Good Luck with the Mac. On 01 Apr 2015, at 7:51 pm, ted phillips tedmusi...@gmail.com mailto:tedmusi...@gmail.com users and groups Hi all. My name is Ted Phillips and I am a very recent Mac convert. I just got a new macbook pro running yocemity and one of my chief uses for the macbook is to record music using logic Pro X. I do have a couple of questions that concern me a little though. First, How do I get voiceover to run automatically at logon? I can’t seem to get it to work. Second, there seems to be some up and down auto-gain with the volume using voice-over especially when going to different programs. It only happens on the internal speakers but it is noticeable. Does that mean there is a problem with my macbook? Thanks all and I hope you all don’t mind me learning from you.

Voice Dream Reader Prob. resolved. This may help others.
Hello everyone, A few days ago, I posted a note to this list in which I thought I may have encountered a bug in the latest version of Voice Dream Reader. The problem was that I was unable to look up words in the dictionary. After writing to Voice Dream support, the issue was speedily resolved. This may help others: I had upgraded from an iPhone 4s to an iPhone 6. When transferring all of my files, apps and settings from the older phone to the newer one, all of the books in my Voice Dream Reader library safely migrated on to my iPhone 6. What didn’t make the trip were the dictionaries that I had downloaded. So if you migrate from one phone to another, and even if all the books appear in the Voice Dream Reader library, you’ll still need to re-download any dictionaries you wish to use. I have more questions about the iPhone and Voice Dream Reader, but they can keep for another posting. I hope that this helps.

Changing Email Account Default Order
Hello List, A few days ago, I needed to delete my Gmail account and reinstall it. I have 2 accounts on my iPhone6 and my personal email account has become the default email address when composing an email. My question is: How does one change the default order of which email account that is used in the from field? Do I need to delete my personal account and reinstall it, so my Gmail account is in the first position? Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Re: Dlink Modem router
Agree with Chris; all this commodity rubbish is no good. If you are using DSL/DSL2/2+, i.e. the vast majority of DSL providers, then I’d recommend you consider a Draytek 120. It passes PPP frames directly through to the Ethernet adaptor, thus allowing any PPPoE client (including AirPort) to work transparently with your DSL provider, with the AirPort getting the public IP address and doing NAT. For VDSL, they now have a v130, but I’m not sure if the bridging function therein is a UK-specific firmware mod, as it looks like it. It’s what I now use, with a Mac Mini as my router, but it would work just as well with AirPort. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups MacVisionaries group.

Interact with text
Hi all, this might sound sort of weird to say but is there any chance of getting VO to stop saying interact with text. when you jump to and from the text area of a message using mail? I was wondering if this could possibly be done through the VO utility, speech and Pronunciation tab. The goal of this is to reduce verbosity of speech from Voiceover. If it can't be done then don't worry that's fine but it would be cool if its possible because it could mean getting through messages that bit faster.

Re: Interact with text
Hi Alex, didn't know this, will certainly try this out in conjunction with VO J and see which method I prefer.

So, enter to open the message, then vo-a to read it. Sometimes Mail will say the sender's name then scroll area first, and sometimes it doesn't. Either way, it will read the message text.

Well, no matter if you set your verbosity to low, medium or high, you're going to hear at least the subject of the email message when you press enter. I have never used VO J for reading emails. I also don't believe there is a way of turning this off in verbosity at all. Interact with text does not only apply to the mail application. God bless.

If it can't be done then don't worry that's fine but it would be cool if its possible because it could mean getting through messages that bit faster.
