Making a bootable USB

2012-07-16 Thread John Gunn
Hello All:

I should have done this when Lion came out but getting to it now.

I know where the InstallEsd.dmg is, but I need directions/key strokes giving me 
the steps to create the drive through DiskUtility.

Any help will be appreciated.

Thanks,

John

Hi John,

You can check John Panarese's macfortheblind.com web site for the instructions 
on the How to for the Mac and OS X web page:
http://macfortheblind.com/how-to-for-the-Mac-and-OS-X

Navigate to the heading for How To Make a Bootable Lion Install Disk on a USB 
Thumb Drive and read the instructions. This method uses SuperDuper! which you 
can get from:
http://www.shirt-pocket.com/

HTH.  Cheers,

Esther

Hi John

The easiest way is to use the recovery tool from Apple

Here is a link to it on our dropbox for your convenience.

Hello Patricia

Technically, this is off topic for this group as it isn't a Mac or iOS specific 
question.  But I'll answer it briefly and, if you need further info, feel free 
to contact me privately.

Dropbox is a file-sharing application which allows you to share files with 
others and synchronise your Macs, PCs and some mobile devices.

Further than that I'd rather not go on list.

Re: fleksy is out!

2012-07-16 Thread Nicolai Svendsen
Hi,

I've tried the app. In fact, I downloaded it while I was on holiday because the 
hotel I was staying at on my way home offered free Wi-Fi.

I find myself typing very accurately with this. Even without VoiceOver, you can 
hit the wrong letter with the regular keyboards, so Fleksy is actually helpful 
here in that you don't have to delete anything in most cases. In my case, my 
hands are too big to always hit the letters accurately even when I use 
VoiceOver, so Fleksy  is very helpful because it allows me to simply type and 
forget. I don't have to focus as much on whether I'm touching the write letter, 
and this helps even when I don't use VoiceOver.

Incorporating this into IOS would be a pretty good solution, at least an 
alternative one. I don't agree that it should be the only text input method 
particularly when Fleksy receives international keyboard support, but being 
able to switch to it as you would a keyboard already implemented into iOS would 
be very efficient as it would apply to any text area. Third party developers  
can already do this, but developers do not have enough control over the 
implementation as they can only change the letters and symbols.

I find myself forgetting to use Fleksy, though. Because it can not be switched 
to like the other keyboards, I find myself sliding when I get a text in order 
to reply and just typing, as opposed to bringing up Fleksy, entering what I 
want to type, then copying or sending it to a message. In this particular 
instance, having it incorporated into iOS would be very useful. Unless Apple 
comes up with something even better which somehow does not require you to turn 
off VoiceOver, it seems to me that this would be an avenue worth pursuing.

The price seems very justifiable. It's a great solution, works very well and 
while it is specifically designed for blind people, it's even helping me out 
when I look at the screen and I don't have to look so much at what I'm typing 
or even at the keyboard itself. I've avoided a lot of tripping while texting 
with this application, so I'd say it helps avoid injuries even though you could 
just avoid texting while you walk entirely.

Regards,
Nicolai

 I think it is country productive to cry about a price.
 If you think a application is to expensive don't buy it. Why keep crying 
 over something you can't do a thing about it. I thought this list was for 
 constructive criticism and not. A arena to complain about a price of a 
 application. As Gordon states earlier some like it and others don't. What 
 is the purpose of complaining?

Fahrenheit - was Current Temperature Pushed

2012-07-16 Thread Geoff Waaler
Hi Karin and others,

I'm a sucker for a weather app, so I gave Fahrenheit a whirl.  Are you saying 
that information such as wind speed/direction, humidity, real feel temp, etc 
are accessible with voiceOver?  If not, I would suggest that a claim of 
completely accessible is misleading, at least to the faction of VoiceOver 
users who lack any functional vision.  I've been all through the settings, and 
unless I'm missing something, from my perspective, Fahrenheit provides 
absolutely zero  added value over the Weather widget included with IOS.

  Best regards.

   Current Temperature Pushed has been one of our favorite weather apps around 
here, but for at least the last week or so, it hasn't been working.  I don't 
know if this is a local problem, or if the app just no longer works!  Do any of 
you use this app, and have you heard anything about what's wrong with it?  And, 
if we can't get this one working again, is there another simple weather app 
that will display the same type of information and is very accessible?  We like 
it because it shows not only the temperature, but also the dew point 
temperature.  Thanks!

Re: Making a bootable USB

2012-07-16 Thread Gordon Smith
From what I've seen so far looking at the review, it's really a waste of 
money.  You can do the same thing via Disk Utility quite easily.

Besides which, it'll be obsolete very soon so I suggest you don't spend money 
on this.

Re: Lion DiskMaker!

2012-07-16 Thread Sarah Alawami
lol. Actually it's not on my blog. but I really did not book mark it. I sort of 
forgot. and don't forget some people might want to see the product in action 
before they want to try it.

but it really is the best app since sliced bread. i've been talking with the 
den and  they are going to put some improvements in the software.

Just remember to do this before you even try and make the disk. I had help from 
a friend who shed me a lot of headaches and this set of instructions before you 
even create the bootable usb stick is not documented on the site btw.

1. find the installesd.dmg and copy it to the desktop for easy finding.
2. mount it in disk utility.

3. click verify image in the tool bar.

Once that comes out ok then

1. run lion disk maker from the apps folder

2. brows to the installesd.dmg on your desktop.

3. follow the prompts.

Note your flash usb thing will be erased when this is started so be sure you do 
not have anything of importance on there. the whole process should take about 
30 minutes, or if you don't know what you are doing like I did not, about 3 
hours. lol!

Take care all.

REDIRECTED: Re: Resizing Boot Camp Partition

2012-07-16 Thread Gordon Smith
Hi all

This THREAD started life on our sister group but since David is specifically 
asking for Mac utilities it's more appropriate here.  If you wish to talk about 
doing this from Windows please use our sister group, Techno-chat.

Hi David

Have you looked at Coriolis Systems iPartition?  I'm not sure whether it's 
fully accessible now as I haven't tried it in a while.

On 16 Jul 2012, at 16:35, David Griffith d.griff...@btinternet.com wrote:

I have read on pages found by Google that it is possible to increase the
size of your boot camp partition by 

1. Using disk utility to decrease the size of the Mac OS partition.

2. In windows 7 run disk management to expand the partition to fill
available space.

I have also seen that there are reports that this does not always work.

Does anybody know of an accessible Mac Utility which could reliably complete
this task , if possible non destructively?

Can I clone my HD to a new computer?

2012-07-16 Thread Eric Caron
Hi listers,

I use ccc to keep a current copy of my hard disk.  When my new used mini 
arrives can I simply clone the disk over and have most things work the same?  
I'm trying to avoid having to dig up all the License keys for such programs as 
Amadeus Pro, assistive ware, VM Fusion and so on.  it would also be nice just 
to have my iTunes library ready to go.

is this a good shortcut or do I need to go one program at a time? 

I have never used migration assistant.  is that a better way to go?  

Experiences and tips appreciated.

Re: Can I clone my HD to a new computer?

Just use the migration assistant and you'll be fine.  Either attach your backup 
drive to the new machine and migrate from it, or else use a firewire 1394B lead 
to do the same thing by booting your current machine into Target mode.

Apple Keyboard can broken keys be repaired?

2012-07-16 Thread Eric Caron
Hello listers,

Using used equipment offers new challenges.  My new used mini arrived.  
The keyboard came in two additional pieces a T key and a F13 key flooding 
around.  Any chance of fitting these back in place?

The case seems a bit rough from the trip but so far it started up ok.  the 
Majic pad seems ok but I have not tried to use it yet. 

So can keys knocked off be replaced?  If so what is the trick?

however one learns that this dedication only extends to the web page.  It does 
not extend so far as the arduous and impossible task of writing even so much as 
a marginally accessible installation dialog for their flash app (which once 
existed BTW), but I digress.

On the Windows side of things, Ninite will solve the flash updating problem, 
but I've not yet been able to locate a MacOS equivalent.

Best regards,
Geoff

Replication, a gentle reminder

2012-07-16 Thread Gordon, Lynne Tracy
Hi all

Just a gentle reminder.  It has been brought to our attention by a number of 
members that there have been a number of posts to this list which have been 
replicated on at least one other list with similar content in recent times.  As 
stated in the list policy document, this is not desirable behaviour as it 
threatens our unique identity.  There's a difference between posting links to 
something which is a general point of interest, as long as we are not being 
used as, in the words of one member, a dumping ground for content posted 
elsewhere primarily.  So let me be blunt about this, then we all know where we 
stand.  If you're going to send something to Mac Visionaries or somewhere 
similar, don't bother sending to Mac Access.  We are going to be monitoring 
certain places over the next little while to see exactly what is replicated on 
our list and by whom.  It's unfortunate that I've had to post this message.  
But we are losing members quite frequently at the moment and most of 
 them are siting replication of content as their primary reason for leaving the 
group.

Your cooperation would be appreciated.

Gordon

Open the disk image, right click on the app and choose show package contents. 
Then go to pkg info and choose the pkg that is in there and run it.

not paste any links here.

 Just remember to do this before you even try and make the disk. I had help 
 from a friend who shed me a lot of headaches and this set of instructions 
 before you even create the bootable usb stick is not documented on the site 
 btw.
 
 1. find the installesd.dmg and copy it to the desktop for easy finding.
 2. mount it in disk utility.
 
 3. click verify image in the tool bar.
 
 Once that comes out ok then
 
 1. run lion disk maker from the apps folder
 
 2. brows to the installesd.dmg on your desktop.
 
 3. follow the prompts.
 
 Note your flash usb thing will be erased when this is started so be sure you 
 do not have anything of importance on there. the whole process should take 
 about 30 minutes, or if you don't know what you are doing like I did not, 
 about 3 hours. lol!
 
 Take care all.

Re: iphone 4s over 3g

 Depends on your situation. if you are just talking on the phone not browsing 
then probably 6 hours or a bit less. that's my estimate sinceI have a battery 
pack and can get over 40.

Now, if you need to squeeze a bit more juice out go to edge.

It really depends upon your network, and upon your signal strength. But

Re: Apple Keyboard can broken keys be repaired?

2012-07-16 Thread Geoff Waaler
Hi Eric,

I've never taken one of these apart, but once  my golden got a little excited 
and knocked a few keys out of a friend's laptop keyboard.  I was surprised to 
discover that the springs that use to support keys in older keyboards were 
gone.  Instead the keys were held in place and bounce back because of suction 
from the rubber at the bottom of the keys.  Once back in place, they were all 
restored to functionality and my 85 LB furball got out of the dog house.

Hopefully, your Mac Mini keyboard uses the same principle.  Good luck.

Geoff

  Hello listers,

  Using used equipment offers new challenges.  My new used mini arrived.  The 
keyboard came in two additional pieces a T key and a F13 key flooding around.  
Any chance of fitting these back in place?

  The case seems a bit rough from the trip but so far it started up ok.  the 
Majic pad seems ok but I have not tried to use it yet. 

  So can keys knocked off be replaced?  If so what is the trick?

Re: battery pack was Re: iphone 4s over 3g

2012-07-16 Thread Sarah Alawami
Hehaha. depends on what ever you have. You can get the cheap ones that plug in 
to the computer and can charge your iPhone like 3 or 4 times.or you can get the 
more expensive ones that plug in to the wall like mine does. If you want a good 
deal on one look at ebay for the energizer coma 8000 or it's now updated 
companion. Mine is a bit bigger then the vr stream if you remember that unit. 
It's also been dropped twice and survived, but that might just be luck.

There are also cases for this, how ever I don't know anything about those so 
someone will have to help you who does.

Take care and be blessed.

Re: Apple Keyboard can broken keys be repaired?

Yeah keep us posted on that as I'm also curious. I don't plan on anyone braking 
my bt keyboard but I've had it  fall off my lap a few times. Not fun.

 Hi Eric,
 
 I've never taken one of these apart, but once  my golden got a little excited

 discover that the springs that use to support keys in older keyboards were 
 gone.  Instead the keys were held in place and bounce back because of suction 
 from the rubber at the bottom of the keys.  Once back in place, they were all 
 restored to functionality and my 85 LB furball got out of the dog house.
 
 Hopefully, your Mac Mini keyboard uses the same principle.  Good luck.

  Hello listers,
 
  Using used equipment offers new challenges.  My new used mini arrived.  The 
 keyboard came in two additional pieces a T key and a F13 key flooding around. 
  Any chance of fitting these back in place?
 
  The case seems a bit rough from the trip but so far it started up ok.  the 
 Majic pad seems ok but I have not tried to use it yet. 
 
  So can keys knocked off be replaced?  If so what is the trick?

Re: ePUB

2012-07-16 Thread Anne Robertson
Hello Chris,

If your EPUB book is DRM protected, then you really have no choice but to use 
Adobe Digital Editions Preview. Otherwise you can use Stanza. I actually like 
ADE Preview, but it's a pain if you like to read in Braille.

Cheers,

Anne

Re: Mic recommendation for multi purposes

2012-07-16 Thread Travis Siegel
As far as I know, all of the intel minimacs have microphone jacks and  
earphone jacks on them, I have a ppc mini which has no microphone  
port, and an intel mini which does.  Plugging a microphone into this  
jack always worked just fine, until I broke the interconnect board  
while upgrading memory in the machine.  But, instead of paying 30  
bucks for another interconnect board, we opted to purchase a 2 dollar  
usb phone/mike jack which works perfectly on the mini in question,  
and allows us to use it just as if it was never broken. :) And, the  
extra memory works too. *grin*
The only thing not working on that mini now is the airport, as the  
antenna came unplugged, and I can't for the life of me get it plugged  
in again.  But, we solved that problem too, I just made the other  
mini share it's airport connection via ethernet, then ran a cable  
from the broken mac to the working one, and poof, both now browse the  
internet with no issues. :)


Don't know if this helps, but figured it'd be worth mentioning.  I  
don't know if any of the minis have built-in internal mikes or not, I  
never tried recording stuff w/o an external mike when I had my intel  
mini working properly.

Re: Mic recommendation for multi purposes

2012-07-16 Thread Eric Caron
Thanks Travis,

I had just assumed the Mini had the same set up as the mac book with 
the headphone and mic as one jack.  Hving the separated jacks will help as I 
will probably be able to use the Olympus mic I have sitting here.  

this mini is certainly a learning experience.

Any tips on doing the memory upgrade safely?  Assuming the ram I have is the 
correct ram I have 8 gigs sitting here I'd like to install.

Hi Chris,

Anne is correct that for DRM protected ePub books that use Adobe's ADE scheme, 
which is the most common commercially used DRM scheme, you have to use Adobe 
Digital Editions Preview to read the books.  This is the DRM scheme used by 
Kobo, Barnes and Noble, Sony, and Google, along with many online bookstores 
that sell ePub books with DRM.  In the case of hardware devices from Kobo and 
Sony, and the Barnes and Noble Nook, all of which I believe lack accessibility 
for visually impaired readers, these DRM-protected ePub files will also be 
natively supported on the readers.  This format is also used by libraries for 
downloadable eBooks that can also be downloaded in the free OverDrive Media 
Console app for iOS.  

Apple's iBooks uses a different DRM scheme called FairPlay2, and there is 
currently no program that supports reading those files on a Mac.

Adobe Digital Editions Preview is quite comfortable to use for reading if you 
don't need to use features for closer examination of the text, such as reading 
by character, or reviewing by line, etc.  If you're trying to learn computer 
coding, where variables can be oddly spelled, and you need to check for special 
characters, delimiters, and spacing, there's currently no good reader that 
supports those features and also handles DRM that you can use on your computer. 
 You have to use work arounds like using the VO-Shift-C to copy the page that 
VoiceOver read to the clipboard, and then paste that section into TextEdit 
where you can use all the regular VoiceOver navigation and reading options to 
review the material.  I prefer reading library downloads with Adobe Digital 
Editions Preview on my Mac to reading the same downloads in OverDrive Media 
Console on my iPhone, though it's neat that I can browse and borrow through the 
OverDrive app on my iPhone or iPad once I've linked it to my library user 
account number.  OverDrive on iOS is much better for audio book downloads from 
my library than it is for reading downloaded eBooks.  Similarly, I can open 
ePub books with ADE DRM in the OverDrive app on my iPhone, but the reading 
experience isn't as good as with the Kobo app or Adobe Digital Editions Preview 
on my Mac.  Basically, I'm only covering these details for completeness.

Stanza desktop (to distinguish it from the iOS Stanza app that it was developed 
to support) works for multiple eReader formats, including ePub, provided these 
do not have DRM.  However, it was originally developed mainly as a tool to 
unify the diverse set of mobile reading file formats, so that a supported 
standard, ePub, could be used with the iOS Stanza app.  As such, it was 
primarily a desktop conversion tool that was adapted to also use as a reader 
and to support various upload options for the Stanza app.  However, since 
Stanza is accessible with VoiceOver, and the other main eReader conversion 
tool, Calibre, is not (at least, not in its GUI interface -- you can run it 
with AppleScripts from Terminal), many blind readers are using it also as a 
reader.  (In case you are interested, the iOS app can be used with VoiceOver 
and even with Braille devices, but is basically no longer supported, since 
Amazon bought out the competition.  At one time Stanza on iOS devices was 
deemed the biggest challenger to Amazon's Kindle, and was backed by publishers, 
lead by MacMillan, to be the standard distribution tool for eBooks.) 

Stanza on the Mac is free and usable, but it has some focus quirks with 
VoiceOver for its advanced functions, such as bookmark navigation. Just use the 
navigation controls you would use for HTML content, and you can use all the 
heading shortcuts, etc.  It does let you read by word, character, etc. Other 
accessible apps for DRM-free ePub reading on the Mac are iText Express or Pro 
(from the App store -- the Express version is free), and Bookle ($10 in the App 
Store), which is an app that the editors of the Take Control eBook series 
recently developed.  They're still adding features, so I'd like to see support 
for more navigation options, but this is coming along, and uses a library 
organization to keep track of your books, as does Adobe Digital Editions 
Preview.

Here are links to the Mac applications that were mentioned.  The original 
Lexcycle Stanza site got shut down last November, and Mac versions of the 
program can be hard to find.  I give two working links for the Stanza software 
below.

Re: playing audiobooks at faster speeds on mac.

2012-07-16 Thread Dónal Fitzpatrick
You've hit the nub of it actually Travis.  One of the reasons I wanted to play 
the books faster was to record them in other formats using Audio Hijack Pro.  
This, incidentally, is *not* illegal as it is for personal use.   I could 
record to CD and then rip to the alternative format I'm just trying to bypass 
the CD phase.  I also don't wan to record the book(s) in realtime as this would 
take forever..  The QuickTime option was the first thing I tried but alas no 
joy.

On 16 Jul 2012, at 20:51, Travis Siegel tsie...@softcon.com wrote:

 I don't know any way to do this using itunes.
 However, quicktime supports this quite nicely.
 Of course, most (all?) commercial audio books cannot be played in quicktime, 
 so I realize that doesn't help much.
 I do sometimes use audio hijack to make an itunes book into some other format 
 I can load into quicktime, just so I can use the faster playback.
 It works well, and allows me to finish audio books *much* faster than itunes 
 would otherwise allow.

Also, can you tell me what it looks like when the Preferences are not

It's worth pointing out here that the server Mac Mini will run fine 
without a monitor.  Apple is doing some pretty naughty things at the 
moment, (more later).  But I don't think the standard Mini will work 
right without a monitor.  It's worth pointing out though that once the 
system is started you can probably turn off the monitor.  I haven't 
tried it, since all of our Minis are Server machines.

setup that one can use to trick the Mini into thinking you have a

to weigh that against simply buying a cheap monitor.

Hi Eric

Thanks Gordon,

You're more than welcome.  I should have added that, if you want to boot a 
machine into Target mode, just hold down the letter T for as long as it takes 
for your new machine to see it as a volume.  Usually takes about 10 to 20 
seconds, but it's very reliable.  That way I have done countless upgrades and 
migrations for clients in similar situations to yours.  It's great that people 
in our neck of the woods are now starting to realise the potential of Mac OS 
and iOS and if I get the job I'm applying for I am hoping that my days of 
teaching may well not be over after all. :)

I personally don't have a lot of confidence in my teaching skills, I'm far more 
at home in sorting out technology and Braille transcription.  But for whatever 
reason some others don't seem to agree.  I'm not going to go on about this, but 
anyway I'm glad you're almost up and running.  I would just suggest though 
that, for future similar occurrences if you're going to do migrations of this 
nature, you might want to get yourself either a Thunderbolt cable or a 1394B 
(Firewire 800) cable.  New machines come thunderbolt-ready and it's infinitely 
faster than FireWire.  So if you can, go that route next time and you'll be 
amazed just how fast it actually is.  We experienced our first Thunderbolt 
visit a couple of days ago and I came away mighty impressed.

Gordon

I followed the directions with a lot more confidence after reading your 
post.  I had to take the slow route using Migration Assistant over WiFi, but 
all seems to be going great.  I Guess I'll know for sure tomorrow as this will 
take about 10 hours! 

I appreciate this tips very much.  I'd be lost without this list.  With it I'm 
doing much much more then I ever did on my Windows machines and rather then 
fighting with the computer, I'm usually having fun.

Re: Mac mini July 2011 screen question

2012-07-16 Thread Gordon Smith
Hi Diane

We currently have 8 Mac Minis Server machines of the current design here, the 
oldest of which is mid 2011.  All bar one works without a monitor and there are 
no problems at all with VoiceOver starting or reading.

In fact, we also have a late 2009 Server machine which works just as well.  
There would have been no logic behind a design philosophy preventing the 
machine from being used this way because many enterprise organisations mount 
their servers in such a way that direct video displays are impractical.  Thus, 
it has to be functional without a display so that remote management is 
possible.  Lynne uses ARD to admin our servers very frequently and doesn't 
encounter any issues.  I also have occasion very frequently to use a Bluetooth 
keyboard on our machines and don't use a monitor.

So I don't get it why you should be having problems with VO on Apple's server 
platform.  Or have I misunderstood you?

This, of course, is without a monitor attached.

Re: playing audiobooks at faster speeds on mac.

2012-07-16 Thread Esther
Hi Dónal,
 
You wrote:
 You've hit the nub of it actually Travis.  One of the reasons I wanted to 
 play the books faster was to record them in other formats using Audio Hijack 
 Pro.  This, incidentally, is *not* illegal as it is for personal use.   I 
 could record to CD and then rip to the alternative format I'm just trying to 
 bypass the CD phase.  I also don't wan to record the book(s) in realtime as 
 this would take forever..  The QuickTime option was the first thing I tried 
 but alas no joy.
Your original question was:

• This is a very simple question really.  Is it possible to replicate the IOS 
functionality on a Mac which enables the playing of audiobooks at higher 
speeds? 

Based on your reply to Travis, I'm going to scratch a large part of the draft 
reply I composed until I find out more about what you want to do.  FIrst, of 
all are you trying to play Audible or other DRM-encoded files at faster speed?  
Because if you just need the output to come out on your Mac so that you can use 
Audio Hijack Pro, you can just send the output from the Audible app or other 
apps on your iPhone that you play at faster speed  to your Mac with AirPlay, 
assuming that both devices are on the same wireless network.  At the present 
time, you need some sort of helper application to run AirPlay on your Mac, so 
I'm using an app named AirServer (currently $15) that I bought when it was half 
price several months ago. I think AirFoil from Rogue Amoeba may also support 
this.  However, AirPlay support for the Mac is one of the features Apple 
announced for Mountain Lion, so this should be available to you with the new OS 
release within a few short days.

The way this works for me is that at the bottom right corner of the Audible 
playing screen on my iPhone or iPad, there's an Airplay button that appears 
when I'm on a Wi-Fi network where there are other AIrPlay compatible devices.  
Alternatively, if you have an AirPort Express on your network, that device will 
also be recognized when you double tap the AirPlay button in the bottom right 
corner of your Audible app's playing screen. When I double tap the AirPlay 
button, I get the options selected, video route, iPad, button, video route, 
Esther's MacBook Air, button, and audio route, Study, button, along with a 
Cancel button.  The first option is for my iOS device, so it supports both 
audio and video playing.  (I put a lot of my Audible books on my iPad, since it 
has more capacity, and better sound quality if I'm listening and don't need to 
interact with the screen.)  The second option is for my AirServer enabled Mac 
-- one of the reasons I chose that software over AirFoil is that it would 
mirror everything, both audio and video, at a time when AirFoil only had 
support for audio streaming.  The third option is the location tag for my 
AirPort Express.  With Airplay, only the streamed audio and video get relayed 
to the speakers on my Mac -- not VoiceOver's announcements as I navigate the 
buttons on my iOS device.

So you could use Audio Hijack Pro to capture the audiobook that is  played 
speeded up from your iPhone and sent to your Mac.

If you want to play your tracks speeded up directly on your Mac, and the tracks 
don't have DRM, then you can use either VLC or QuickTime Player 7, both of 
which let you access playback controls that speed up the audio.  While the 
version of QuickTime Player that ships with Snow Leopard and Lion doesn't 
include these controls, you can download QuickTime Player 7, which is the 
version that shipped with Tiger and Leopard, and use that instead.  
Furthermore, you can use AppleScripts to control the speed up and switch back 
and forth between your selection in iTunes and in QuickTime Player so that your 
position is remembered.  There's a whole discussion thread on how to do this on 
the archives for this list from February:
• Speeding up podcasts on the Mac [was Re: Speeding up podcasts on iphone]
http://www.mail-archive.com/mac-access@mac-access.net/msg08057.html

Finally, if you want to specifically speed up Audible books, this topic was 
also discussed on this list about a week and a half before you rejoined it.  
Take a look at my archived post from early July:
• Converting Audible files to MP3 [was Re: Audiobook Builder questions.]
http://www.mail-archive.com/mac-access@mac-access.net/msg10666.html
There's a program called Macsome Audiobook Converter that some people have 
used to make copies of their Audible files.  Again, this uses iTunes and your 
authorized copy of Audible books to make the MP3 copies.  I haven't used this 
myself, but I've heard that some other VoiceOver users have. I'm not sure 
whether it works on the newest higher quality formats, but I believe it works 
on all the older file formats according to the MacUpdate reviews.  

So, depending on what you want to do, it  seems there are three options to 
explore:
1) Send the output from your iOS device to your Mac with AirPlay, then record 

Louis Braille Translator for Mac OS X

2012-07-16 Thread Gordon Smith
Hi all

I am finding references on Google for the Louis Braille translator for Mac.  
But something odd is happening with Google these days for me.  Many links 
simply won't work.  No matter how I try to execute them nothing whatsoever 
happens, I'm still stuck at the Google results page.  Even pressing the 
Resolve Details' button does nothing in a lot of cases.

Be that as it may, does anybody happen to know where I can find this project?
