Re: The Word "Defeat" Consistently Mispronounced

Yeah but that would alter the pronunciation for all voices. Would be nice if we 
could make pronunciations work on a voice by voice basis like on iOS.

Re: Suddenly I'm unable to adjust volume

[Maurice Mines]

Good evening, so if the drive that you’re trying to reject only drug 
these would be the questions that I’d ask, one is the system using 
anything that that drive holds? Two if the drive isn’t  being used at 
the time you want to reject it you might check to see if some other 
application that you forgot might be running is actually trying to stand 
said drive. The very last thing I would recommend is that it follows 
fails you can try rebooting and/or shutting the system down?


I hope this helps? Maurice Mines.

Any suggestions would be most appreciated. I'm on Mojave, by the way.

Hi,

Try disconnecting any Bluetooth sound devices.  Sometimes they hold on and the 
sound up/down gets sent over to the Bluetooth device instead of the computer.

Check out the system preferences under sound, output. When that happens for me 
it's because I somehow switched to a different audio output by accident.

Re: Seeing AI And Bar Codes on iPhone SE

['E.T.' via MacVisionaries]

   External lighting should not be necessary because the app uses the 
camera flash. But it turns off so feedback to the developer is in order.

Thanks, Anne,

I feel better at least knowing someone with an SE has been able to 
read the info. Does it make any difference if you hold the phone 
portrait or landscape? Are there any settings that needed to be adjusted?


Mary, I did try your trick of turning the phone over so the camera was 
face-up, but that hasn’t helped so far. But thanks for the suggestion, 
I never thought of trying that!

My phone is locked in portrait mode. I find Seeing AI very quick at finding

[Pete De Vasto]

Janina,

One thing you might check is to go into System Preferences, the Keyboard tab. 
There’s a checkbox that toggles whether or not you use the FN key to activate 
function keys, or some words to that effect. I’m thinking that maybe somehow 
this setting got inadvertently changed?

Suddenly I'm unable to adjust volume

['Janina Sajka' via MacVisionaries]

Hi, All:

Somehow, for some reason I'm unsure of, I'm no longer able to do volume
up and down with FN plus F12 and FN plus F11. Mute on FN plus F10 also
doesn't do a thing.

Not sure when this cropped up on my Airbook, but it's very annoying.

Looking in sound settings I'm supposedly at 100%, with the slider
toadjust volume greyed out.

Unfortunately, what passes for 100% wasn't loud enough to work
effectively with headphones on my recent trans Atlantic flights.

Any suggestions would be most appreciated. I'm on Mojave, by the way.

Re: Seeing AI And Bar Codes on iPhone SE

[Mary Otten]

Hi Pete,
I can’t answer about the iPhone SE in barcodes, although I don’t see why you 
shouldn’t be able to read them. What I will say is that I have had extremely 
variable luck with the reading of barcodes on my iPhone 7 Plus. Sometimes I 
will get those towns and then the different towns that indicate that the 
barcode is being processed, followed by the results of the processing. Other 
times, no matter what I do, all I get are the beeps. I don’t know why. It’s 
great when it works in very frustrating when it doesn’t. Smile. I have better 
luck when I placed the phone on a level surface with a camera facing up, and 
then manipulate the item whose barcode I am trying to read.

Re: A worrying harddisk problem.

['Tim Kilburn' via MacVisionaries]

Hi,

Do this in this order:

Unplug the drive from the USB port of the Airport device, unplug the power to 
the drive if it has a separate power, wait about 20 seconds or so, plug its 
power back in.  Now, unplug the Airport device from its power, and wait another 
20 seconds or so.  While you're waiting, plug the drive back into the USB port 
of the Airport device.  Turn the Airport device back on and wait while it sets 
things up.  After it has all restarted and reconnected, see if you have 
connectivity now.

Later...

Seeing AI And Bar Codes on iPhone SE

[Pete De Vasto]

Hi everyone,

I’m trying to read bar codes using Seeing AI on my iPhone SE. Whenever I try, I 
do hear the tones that tell me I’m over the code, but Seeing AI doesn’t read 
anything, it only gives me beeps. I tried to write the team about this, but got 
no response. Does anybody know if you’re supposed to be able to read bar code 
info with an iPhone SE?

Thanks for any help,
Pete De Vasto

Re: A very stupid Question may be, but hope to find a solution

['Andrew Lamanche' via MacVisionaries]

ramy,

If you still have your original pdf file, open it in Preview.  Under view menu, 
make sure continuous reading is checked and I have also show thumbnails 
checked.  Then you could press command+f for search and type in exactly the 
string of words you are looking for.  Wait a moment.  Now to the very right of 
the window you have the area with which you interact in order to read your pdf. 
 To the left of that area, there’s another area which will probably say “scroll 
area”  If you interact with it, you will hear Voiceover say Table.  In this 
table, after you execute search, there are page numbers on which your string of 
words appears.  press vo+spacebar on the page you want to examine, stop 
interacting, move to the document area, interact (probably twice) and check 
whether that’s the string and context you are looking for.  You will know then 
the page number.  it’s time consuming but I’ve just checked it out for the 
first time ever, and maybe you can achieve what you want.  I hope Tim Kilburn 
will chip in here as his understanding of Preview is far superior to mine.

Hi!
I have a Hard disk connected to my airport extreme which  i do my time machine 
backups onto.
Now all of a sudden my mac is complaining that it hasn’t been backed up for 12 
days.
I found out that the drive on the network no mor can’t be found.
I have checked the airport settings and it claims file sharing and things like 
tha tis turned on.
So my question is if i can disconnect the harddrive and connect it to my mac 
and do  check that the filesystem is there?
Or is there anything more to try first?
Thanks.
