Brian,
Ben called last night and left you a voicemail, so hopefully you and him can
hook up. He's quite confident he can help you out.
Chris.

Subject: Re: biblical greek on the mac
Hi Brian,
On my mac, I use Greek Braille tables with my refreshable Braille display
and the table is in grade 1 Braille so I didn't have to learn much in order
to read. I have very little experience of the Greek grade 2 Braille as i
have no access to their Braille paper literature. On the mac side, you can
choose Greek Braille table in Voiceover utility under the Braille tab.
Incidentally, the Greek table on the mac also works fine for English so I
don't have to switch Braille tables all the time. I just have the table set
to Greek and it works for both English and Greek.
Hope things are going to work out for you.
Best wishes
Andrew

No problem Andrew. That definitely helps though. Right now I am digging
in to a greek text in braille. I am very overwhelmed by the greek braille
code. I wish there was a supplemental greek braille code manual that I
could use while trying to learn Greek. Right now, I am struggling trying
to understand how the greek braille code works.

Hi Brian,
I speak modern Greek and there's no problem with that because:
1. AssistiveWare.com has a modern Greek voice Dimitris, which is very
good,
2. and Apple provides a modern Greek voice Melina and Nikos. Mac also
has a modern Greek keyboard layout as well as ancient Greek keyboard
which you can add to your keyboards.
You can change both keyboards and voices on the fly.
I don't think that ancient / biblical Greek is going to work with these
voices because the letters with the diacritic marks that are used are not
recognised by Voiceover nor by any other voices mentioned above. But do
check it out yourself. you can easily add Apple's Greek voices to the
selection of voices on the mac, activate the appropriate keyboard and
confirm this. I had no success with it when I got a piece of biblical
text from somebody.
I'm sorry not to have better news for you.

Hello all,
I am trying to teach myself new testament greek. I was wondering if
anyone has tested learning a biblical language on the mac with
voiceover. Just was curious to see how that might work with voiceover
as far as pronunciations and things like that. Thanks,
Brian
