Re: scanning and the mac
I have boot camp installed on my 13 inch Macbook Pro, no sound issues here. However I am running XP and not Windows 7 though. So not sure if that makes a difference. On 19 Feb 2011, at 03:14, David Tanner wrote: It isn't Fusion that is the problem. The issue is if you try to run Windows without running it as a virtual machine. The sound usually works if you are running Windows through Fusion as a virtual machine. But, if you choose to boot to Windows instead of booting into Snow Leopard and boot directly into Windows there is a good chance that you will not have any sound in Windows due to some kind of sound driver problem that Apple and Microsoft neither seem to have a good answer to. But, luckily it only happens on the MacBook Pro 13. I have the MacBook Pro 15 and have never had the problem with mine or any of the about 15 machines that I have setup with both Windows 7 and Snow Leopard. - Original Message - From: Chris Moore moor...@blueyonder.co.uk To: macvisionaries@googlegroups.com Sent: Friday, February 18, 2011 2:09 AM Subject: Re: scanning and the mac That seems quite odd, as I have a iMac and a 13 inch Macbook Pro, and VM Fusion is fine on the Macbook.

The best solution at this time is K11000 in Windows and with the latest Fusion you should be able to setup a hotkey so that you can actually launch K1000 while you are still in Snow Leopard and Fusion will handle getting you over to Windows, launching K1000; which isn't half bad. Just a word of warning here. After more than one experience; stay away from the Mac Book Pro 13 inch laptop. There appears to be a problem with not always getting sound on the Windows side of things which apparently can only be solved by installing a USB soundcard to use for sound on the Windows side of things.

The k3000 for Mac is old and not vo-compatible and not appropriate for blind folks. Stick with k1000 and never mind native Mac solutions if you're a power user, which it sounds like you are. You won't be happy with other solutions that don't offer features you're use to and don't offer anything like the convenience of the K1000 application. I have K1000 running on a Windows machine with a bookedge scanner by Plustek. Bootcamp or a vm may work for you. Good luck.

airport extreme in a mixed mac pc environment?
Hi all, We have an old linksys router that has served us wonderfully for several years. But it is time to move on and upgrade to something that will give us higher speed wireless, now that none of our wireless devices require the older 208-11G protocol. Between us, we have an IPod, IPad and an Android phone that will connect wirelessly as well as a pc laptop. And we have pc and mac desktops that will connect via wire, except perhaps for my Mac if there aren't enough cable connections on the airport extreme. I'd like to get the Airport Extreme, but my sighted husband is worried about connectivity with his pcs. I was so impressed with the ease of set up with the airport express and the Mac and am quite wary of the newer pc-oriented routers that all seem to want you to install proprietary software, unlike our old linksys. So, does anybody have experience in setting up an airport extreme in this environment? What can one do about the limited number of cable connections for wired computer set up off the router? If this isn't sufficiently vo-related, reply off list would be find, but I hope it fits within the criteria for the list, since one of my reasons for wanting to go this route is to ensure accessibility of set up and compatibility with my Mac and other I-devices.

Re: airport extreme in a mixed mac pc environment?
Mary, First you should have no problems setting up Macs, PCs, iOS devices, or Android devices to operate happily on a network using an Apple Extreme. You get three wired ports on the Extreme and if that is not enough, you can always get a switch, which would allow you to expand the number of ports. I have had all matter of devices on my wireless network and I have been using Apple routers for a number of years now.

Hi all, I was reading the thread about problems with the new Audio Hijack. I had this problem too. My mic was set to soundflower, and didn't record. I installed instant hijack and this didn't fix the problem for me. I had to go over to the input tab on the default system input setting and from the menu select internal mic.

Re: OCR for Mac
Hello Joanne, I use the combination of VueScan and ABBYY FineReader for scanning and OCR on the Mac. I get excellent results from this arrangement. VueScan costs around $79 US and ABBYY FineReader around $90 US. The setup process is a bit fiddly, but once it's done, everything works smoothly. I configure VueScan to produce TIFF files as I don't use this format for anything else, and I set all TIFF files to open with ABBYY FineReader by default. I can't compare this to anything on Windows as I've never used Windows.

Re: Anti Virus Software
I previously used ClamXAV but switched to the free Sophos product when it was released a few months ago. Both are strictly anti-virus, no firewall or other security bits are included, which is how I personally like it. Both are accessible with VO, though Sophos seems to be using some non-standard control panel that requires some getting used to. Neither product has ever given me any problems that I am aware of. Of course malware in general is less of a problem on OSX, and while ClamX was kind enough to point out a potential phishing email found in one of my mailboxes during a full scan, nothing else nasty has ever been reported. Disclaimer: I previously worked in IT security and, while I don't consider myself to be inherently paranoid, I've seen enough crap to be convinced that some form of malware protection should be used on a Mac. When I hear the inevitable quips about how OSX is inherently secure, or how it's a waste to run malware protection software on a Mac, or other such short-sighted comments, I just sigh and press the delete button. No links pasted because both products will show at the top of a properly worded google search.

youtube
Hey everyone, ok, this one really has me stumped, wondering if anyone can perhaps think of something I forgot. On one of my mac minis, youtube videos just will not play, the plug ins are enabled, and I have the newest flash player, 10.2. Also, if I boot my mac mini from my external hard drive using a backup I did last week, the videos also don't work, and the problem started after I did this backup. So, using carbon copy cloner, I did a current backup on the mini having the problem, then I took my external hard drive to my other mac mini, ad booted it from the external drive. The videos played just fine, therefore I know it's not operating system related. Because of that, I didn't think repairing permissions would make a difference, but I did it anyway using the snow leppard DVD. Thinking it might be a port on the router, I tried connecting through wireless, no difference. Also disconnected and reconnected the monitor and even unplugged the power cord. Flash on other web sites play just fine. I suppose I could try connecting the cable modem directly to this mac and make sure it's not a quirk with the router. Anyone got any other ideas? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups MacVisionaries group. To post to this group, send email to macvisionaries@googlegroups.com.

Re: scanning and the mac

Sighted assist found that nothing was muted and volume was at 100 percent. Reinstalling drivers from the Apple OS CD did not resolve the problem. On calling the support departments of both OS's, Microsoft blamed Apple, Apple blamed Microsoft and the customer decided that working in a VM was best anyway.

Re: Anti Virus Software
I used Protect Mac Anti virus at http://www.protectmac.com which isn't a bad piece of software.

Re: airport extreme in a mixed mac pc environment?
Mary, few points here. First, you should have 0 interoperability issues. Scott's response earlier was right on the money. That being said, you might want to look at other brands. People are doing cool things with routers and switches out there and depending on your home connection and the speed of your service you want a router that will keep up. You will notice a huge bump in performance simply by upgrading rom that linksys to something else since linksys had poor forwarding engines. Check out the DLink products as well and remember that even though software is included with these routers you do not have to use it. They are all configurable through the web. Definitely feel secure in going with Apple though. On Feb 19, 2011, at 4:47 AM, Mary Otten wrote: Hi all, We have an old linksys router that has served us wonderfully for several years. But it is time to move on and upgrade to something that will give us higher speed wireless, now that none of our wireless devices require the older 208-11G protocol. Between us, we have an IPod, IPad and an Android phone that will connect wirelessly as well as a pc laptop. And we have pc and mac desktops that will connect via wire, except perhaps for my Mac if there aren't enough cable connections on the airport extreme. I'd like to get the Airport Extreme, but my sighted husband is worried about connectivity with his pcs. I was so impressed with the ease of set up with the airport express and the Mac and am quite wary of the newer pc-oriented routers that all seem to want you to install proprietary software, unlike our old linksys. So, does anybody have experience in setting up an airport extreme in this environment? What can one do about the limited number of cable connections for wired computer set up off the router? If this isn't sufficiently vo-related, reply off list would be find, but I hope it fits within the criteria for the list, since one of my reasons for wanting to go this route is to ensure accessibility of set up and compatibility with my Mac and other I-devices.

Re: Anti Virus Software
I see where you're coming from regarding the waste of money bit but you can take that in 2 ways, as I said in my original message if you've purchased a licence for multi machines then you've wasted no extra money at all as it doesn't cost you any extra money to buy the Mac product. What I like about Eset Cyber Security is that its completely quiet meaning it runs in the background and only rears its head if it needs to alert you of something, Protect Mac was a bit of a pain, whilst it worked it always reared its head if you logged onto another drive, downloaded a file or whatever. I don't think Protect Mac had the ability to scan for malicious code in the background either as the Eset products do.

Re: Anti Virus Software
Yep you can get away with not running Anti Virus software on the Mac but on a PC with Windows? Well you can't say you haven't been warned so don't cry when the damage is done and now we're talking about more than formatting drives, we're talking about the steeling of information and so on but this isn't the time nor the place and as I said, you've been warned.

Re: Problem with the latest version of Audio Hijack Pro
Hi Thomas. This script will do what you want, assuming you have your microphone set as the default system input. tell application Audio Hijack Pro set session1 to the first session whose name contains System Audio set session2 to the first session whose name contains Default tell session1 to start hijacking tell session2 to start hijacking tell session1 to start recording tell session2 to start recording end tell What you want to do is open up script editor and paste in the above script.

RE: scanning using only a mac
Hi Anne, Thanks, I did in fact see your message just after I posted mine. What kind of scanning can you do?

Re: scanning using only a mac
Hello Brian, I scan both single sheets and whole books. I use a Cannon Lide 700F portable USB scanner with my 2007 white MacBook. In VueScan, you can set it to single or multi-page scanning. You can also set it to auto-repeat so that you don't have to keep pressing Cmd-N on the computer. After pressing Cmd-G to tell VueScan that the last page has been scanned, ABBYY FineReader is launched automatically. I've set a shortcut key for creating a text file, so all I have to enter is the filename. I generally scan a double-page at a time and have scanned over a hundred such double-page spreads into one file and had FineReader recognise them. VueScan comes in two flavours now: 32-bit and 64-bit. It all depends on your scanner which one you need. My Cannon Lide 700F works with the 64-bit version, whereas my much older CAnnon Pixma MP170 only works with the 32-bit version. In System Preferences, I've set my Cannon Lide 700F to open VueScan when I press the Scan button. However, I cant get VueScan to recognise the buttons on my scanner, despite the fact that there are popup buttons to configure the scanner buttons. I need to look into this further.

Re: Recording Mic via AudioHijackPro.
Hi Geof. Soundflower no longer comes with audio hijack pro. It used to be there were two components that you needed to install. Instant hijack allowed audio hijack pro to hijack audio from an app without restarting it. While soundflower allowed you to record all system audio. Now they have a new component called instant on, which is supposed to replace both of those older components. However instant on doesn't seem to include the mic while hijacking system audio. Even if you have the mic hijacked with another session, and have it's output going through default system output, instant on doesn't seem to grab it.

The best solution at this time is K11000 in Windows and with the latest Fusion you should be able to setup a hotkey so that you can actually launch K1000 while you are still in Snow Leopard and Fusion will handle getting you over to Windows, launching K1000; which isn't half bad. Just a word of warning here. After more than one experience; stay away from the Mac Book Pro 13 inch laptop. There appears to be a problem with not always getting sound on the Windows side of things which apparently can only be solved by installing a USB soundcard to use for sound on the Windows side of things. Again, this only seems to happen with the 13 inch model of Mac Book Pro. - Original Message - From: Mary Otten motte...@gmail.com To: macvisionaries@googlegroups.com Sent: Wednesday, February 16, 2011 9:54 PM Subject: Re: scanning and the mac There is no solution for the Mac equal to K1000 if you use things like the bookmark and other features of that application. The k3000 for Mac is old and not vo-compatible and not appropriate for blind folks. Stick with k1000 and never mind native Mac solutions if you're a power user, which it sounds like you are. You won't be happy with other solutions that don't offer features you're use to and don't offer anything like the convenience of the K1000 application. I have K1000 running on a Windows machine with a bookedge scanner by Plustek. Bootcamp or a vm may work for you. Good luck.

Re: OCR for Mac
The only accessible package thus far is Eye-Pal. You can find information on it at www.abisee.com. The basics are that you purchase the Windows version with the digital camera, and then you can download the Apple version from the abisee website. - Original Message - From: Joanne Chua shuang.an...@gmail.com To: macvisionaries@googlegroups.com Sent: Saturday, February 19, 2011 3:15 AM Subject: OCR for Mac hi all, I'm a fairly new mac user. i'm still getting my way around mac, specially using mac VO keys as i'm not familiar with them. however, i have a question regarding OCR. may i know, is there any good OCR software out there for Mac? i've been using Kurzweil all along, however, i can't use Kurzweil on mac just yet. is there anything out there that can compromise for Kurzweil on Mac? many thanks Joanne (Australia) -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups MacVisionaries group.

Re: scanning and the mac
Are you using a 13 inch MacBook Pro? If yes, are you running Windows 7? AAny thing that we can find that might give us a clue what is going on would be very helpful. - Original Message - From: Paul Hunt prh...@suddenlink.net To: macvisionaries@googlegroups.com Sent: Saturday, February 19, 2011 5:29 AM Subject: Re: scanning and the mac Hello. I am running Windows in a boot camp partition without Snow Leopard and I have sound. I had to install drivers from the mac os installation cd after installing Windows. I printed the Bootcamp Installation Guide wich contains the procedures. I needed sighted assistance to get this done.

Never has anything been said about not having sound when running Windows under VM Ware Fusion. The issue is when running Windows by itself without Snow Leopard. So, it really doesn't make any sense to post a message saying that you aren't having a problem with sound in Windows when you are using Fusion. That isn't the problem, and that was said from the very beginning. - Original Message - From: Kimberly thurman kimthur...@insightbb.com To: macvisionaries@googlegroups.com Sent: Friday, February 18, 2011 12:27 PM Subject: Re: scanning and the mac I also have a 13 inch MBP running windows under VMWare Fusion with no sound issues whatsoever.

The 13-inch MBP I is maybe a year old and provided by my employer. So, even with all their tweaks and such, I have yet to encounter any failure in sound while in the VM. I am wondering if this is more an issue with older 13-inch MBPs.

Fission selection and play head movement?
Greetings y'all, I understand how to move the play head in small increments with the arrow keys and select via i and o, but thought I'd ask whether the faster head movement/selection techniques are accessible in a manner that I missed. When I select tools - select play head I can not locate an edit field or slider control. Ditto for tools - set selection (command-l). The documentation indicates that one can combine the arrow keys with command, control and option for larger increments, however they only seem to duplicate the function of home and end (i.e move to the beginning or end). Is there something I'm missing or is that as good as it gets for this app? TIA for any suggestions and best regards.
