Changing Supporting Voice?

[Fazil]

Hi Group.

I have two VoiceOver voices on my system. The main voice is Semantha Compact
and the support voice, I don't know the name.

When I hit key combination of shift-ctrl-option-command-right arrow, it
gives me Voiceover parameters to change various options including main
Voice. How can I change the support voice?

Thanks!

Amadeus Pro -- Multi-track Panning

['Janina Sajka' via MacVisionaries]

Hi,

I have a couple multi-track recordings I made in Amadeus Pro. For the
life of me I can't figure how to get to the individual tracks. I
patiently named each to help withi mixing, and I need to pan them now.

Any guidance would be most appreciated!

Powerful as Amadeus Pro appears to be, I'm beginning to believe I should
have just gone directly to Logics Pro X. And, in fact, I've just
acquired and downloaded Logics Pro. So, if anyone knows of good
tutorials for using Logics with VoiceOver, I'd like to know about that,
too.

Thanks in advance!

Janina

Re: A few questions re Big Sur

[Jonathan C. Cohn]

The folder relocated items are programs that can not sed with the new OS. There 
should be an expaination note in the folder.
The option to launch applications with commanders is in the last memu of the 
pulldown. I can't give you the name right now as I am upgrading to 11.2 right 
now.

Thanks much, Jonathan.

Yes, but it does have the address in place once you hit this. 

One thing you might want to play with is the setting:

Use Smart Addresses

addresses will be displayed just as names while when unchecked they will

first, did you get the command key to work? ,I would not suggest you try 
anything else on the mac until you get that fixed. 

Now the answer to your question. When VO says the correct address press comma 
and if you want to put in another address or tab if you are finished addressing 
the me'ssage.

A few questions re Big Sur

['Donna Goodin' via MacVisionaries]

Hi all,

Just finished up dating my MBP to Big Sur. All has gone well, but I have a few 
questions.

1. On my desktop, there is now an item called Relocated Items. What is that, 
and why is it there?

2. Two of my Keyboard Commander Commands aren't working, Option-M which used to 
open Messages, and Option-I, which used to open iTunes. I get why the latter 
doesn't work, since iTunes no longer exists, but does anyone have any thoughts 
on why the first one wouldn't work? It does still show up in the table in 
Keyboard Commander.

3. I want to use the Option-I command to open Music. How do I edit the existing 
command? I've gone into keyboard commander, and clicked on the Open iTunes 
Option, but I don't seem to be able to modify it.

Thanks in advance for any help.
Cheers,
Donna

Re: What's Behind America's Starlink Obsession? PC Magazine

[Brett Lewis]

Hi,
I got a beta invite for this last weekend.
The beta is $99/mo and $499 for the terminal.
You get a beta for that amount and only 150 mbps approximately based on the 
speed tests I have seen.
My ISP (Xfinity) is not good but they offer $90/mo for 1 GBPS.
Just my $.02.

What's Behind America's Starlink Obsession? PC Magazine

[M. Taylor]

What's Behind America's Starlink Obsession?  PC Magazine

What's Behind America's Starlink Obsession?
Starlink is catnip for PC Mag readers. Just say the word and they come
a'clicking in the tens of thousands. The satellite ISP's mystique is a
combination of Elon Musk (an unappealingly named men's cologne) and
Americans' hopeless desperation for better home Internet choices. And at
this point, it's getting way out of hand.

"SpaceX is aiming to one day deliver 10Gbps internet speeds over its
satellite internet system," our story reads, couching SpaceX's ambitions in
similar terms to my ambition to have ripped abs. 
Americans are desperate for better connectivity. They've given up on
regulators, incumbent ISPs and their own communities to provide them.
They're holding out for a hero ('till the end of the night). They want Musk
to be their streetwise Hercules, but he's Loki. But not hot. Kind of moist.
Damp Loki.

Putting up satellites is the most expensive, lowest-capacity way to spread
Internet access, except in very rural regions. Whether your satellite is a
Virgo or a LEO doesn't change this. The fact that anyone in a suburb thinks
it's a more practical solution than just running fiber a few hundred yards
speaks only to the complete failure of the US ISP market to encourage
buildouts.

Of 114 million fixed-Internet subscriptions in the US, around 2 million use
satellite Internet. It's the Internet of last resort. And while Starlink
will release a few million rural users from the tyranny of Hughesnet and
Viasat, it's not going to help us with our cable monopolies.

A research note from Cowen says that at full capacity, the Starlink
constellation will support 485,000 data streams. Multiply by, say, 100 for
oversubscription, and you get around 50 million people-but that's globally.
The US is only 2% of the area of the globe. An anonymous, but convincing
space-tech blogger points out that only about 3% of Starlink's satellites
will be over the US at any given time and estimates a maximum capacity of
about a million US subscribers.

Starlink will have a much bigger effect elsewhere in the world, in places
where it's actually impossible to build good wired broadband. I'd be excited
to see what a Starlink connection per village does in much of the developing
world. If a village of 100 families each pay $1 per month to share a
terminal connected to a Wi-Fi router...now we're talking.

The wireless internet promised by T-Mobile and Verizon could help tens of
millions more Americans than Starlink, except that T-Mobile and Verizon have
miserably failed at communicating and promoting it. Verizon's 5G Home
rollout is incomprehensible. It's Schrodinger's Internet. T-Mobile service
is available to customers at certain addresses, but the carrier doesn't
provide coverage maps.

There are much easier ways to offer more Internet to more Americans. We
could demand that our states drop their bans on municipal broadband. Or we
could demand that the Federal government open cable and fiber lines to
competitive providers, as is true in Canada and the UK, as Canadian ISP rep
(and ex-PCMagger) Bryson Masse pointed out on Twitter.

But no. Elon Musk!! Gamestonk!! We have decided that as a society it is
easier to shoot a thousand satellites into space than just pass a law.

It’s fairly near the subscription link but if you do a voice over search for it 
you should be able to find it quickly.

Re: Telegram Building New Tool for Importing Chats from other Apps, 9 to 5 Mac

['Shawn Krasniuk' via MacVisionaries]

Interesting article Mark. I would use Telegram more if they improved 
accessibility on both iOS and Mac. Especially the Mac seeing as how it's 
totally unusable with Voiceover.
