Strange vo problem

[Arthur Pirika]

hi, I'm helping out a friend, and just yesterday, we noticed that while vo 
was working for the most part, it wasn't seeming to be tracking the cursor 
in finder with the standard arrow keys. vo keys, specifically using numpad 
commander worked just fine. All the defaults were set for the various cursor 
tracking options, and other tables, such as those found in adium or the vo 
utility are working just fine, it's only the view of files in finder that's 
not working right. Any suggestions here, maybe a varify/repair disk 
permissions cycle? And, can this be done from the disk utility on the 
running system, or do we have to pull out the installation dvd?

thanks,
Arthur.

Hi, Arthur,
You should try to do the permissions repair from the disc utility. You  
don't need the instllation disk to run repair permissions.

Is the mac in column view mode?  Command F3.  Basic, I know, but worth  
checking for.

adium issue

[Brandon Misch]

Hey all. am using the latest version or beta of adium. for some reason  
when i recieve contact authorizations, i can't accept them. when i hit  
on authorize, it won't authorize. is there a fix for this? the only  
way i can fix this is to downgrade to the last version. can someone  
look into this. the authorization window of 1.3.4 was accessible. this  
one is too but when you try to authorize a contact, it won't work.  
thanks for looking into this.

Re: adium issue

[chantel cuddemi]

I even tried to authorize someone. It didn't work, even when I routed  
the mouse to the button.
Boy, I think this is a major bug in adium.
Maybe we should report this as a bug.

[Keith Brown]

is there any app that will give an audio file an audable name? i.e. for use on 
an MP3 player  
hope this makes sense.

Jpeg to text converter? Google? / Kurtzwiel 3000 question

[Jenny Kennedy (Howard)]

Hi there,

Hopefully somebody out there can help me.
I've 2 somewhat related things.

First.
I have documents, PDFs, and others that are text but it is the kind of  
text that is just an image of text.  I can not access them and need to  
for a project I'm working on.  I thought I heard someplace that google  
had a tool that would convert say Jpg files or PDFs that are images of  
pages with text into accessable documents.  Is this true?  or is there  
software that can convert scanned images into text?  If so where?

Secondly I want to try the Kurtzwiel 3000 software for the Mac as it  
seems as if it would do the above task.  However when I go to download  
the demo I get a file not found message.  Have tried downloading  
directly from K.E.S. inc's webpage and via third parties like  
download.comish type places and nothing I try gets me the download.   
Anyone know where I can find a trial copy? I've contacted Kurtzwiel  
and still waiting on what they are going to say.  Thought I'd check  
here as well.

Thank you for any help you can offer.

Hello Jenny,

Readiris can perform OCR on scans of most, if not all, types.  
Unfortunately, there is no demo version and it isn't cheap, but it  
does a very good job.

The URL is:
