Re: downcast on the mac
HI, Downcast on the Mac works really well for me. I really liked podcasts in iTunes, but the surprising syncing problems between my Mac and iPhone with Apple's native apps made me try Downcast. Syncing between Downcast on my Mac and iPHone works surprisingly well. I won't say there's absolutely no problems, because I'm sure I could be proved wrong. But I can often start playing an episode on my iPHone and then switch to playing that same episode on my Mac and it will start playing on the Mac exactly where I paused on the iPhone. It's incredibly seamless. marking as played seems to work just as well. I'm not sure what happens when you delete an episode from one device, but that seems to work somehow as I don't get episodes deleted from one device showing up on another. In iCloud Sync Settings in Downcast on Mac and iOS you can choose to sync any or all of feeds, episodes, playlists and settings. Apart from the syncing, the other thing I love about Downcast is the playlists. These work really well and sync perfectly across devices. I believe iTunes now has this or is soon to have this feature, but Downcast had it first and it works brilliantly. Having said all that, of course everyone's opinions are different and what works for one person might not work for another. I know there's at least one guy (on this list) who isn't very impressed with Downcast on the Mac. Then again he never seems very impressed with anything, except perhaps NewsRack once it became obsolete. ;) Cheers, Nic -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups MacVisionaries group.

Re: Audiobooks
Well, first let me say that I know the audible app has had a lot of updates, and I probably haven't used it since January. I used it then because I was on holiday away from my Mac, but wanted to listen to a book that was only just released on audible. I was very glad to have the app then. One feature that I did really like about the audible app was the sleep time thing, but I could essentially achieve the same thing in the music app using Siri to set the iOS timer which was set to stop music playback. I think audible also offered more control over playback speed, but I got comfortable with 2x playback speed which the music app allowed pretty quickly. Now to really answer your question. Why I preferred the music app. Firstly, the audible app seemed too cluttered, whereas the music app was cleaner and more minimalist. I think there were also issues with VO focus when flicking around, though my memory is a little blurry after all this time. I think the playback controls (fast forward, rewind, next, previous, scrubber thing) were easier to use on the music app as well, though again my memory is now blurry and this may have changed. Then there's the fact that I liked having all my audiobooks in the one place, both those from audible and elsewhere. I also have books from two audible accounts, and I could only access one account at a time with the audible app. As I said, I also found the download process to be a little problematic, and while the audible app could access books I had synced with iTunes, which was really cool, I found it simpler to just listen to them all in the music app. I think back then there were also problems using external controls (e.g. the Apple headphones with remote and mic) to play/pause etcetera. So in summary, the Music app was more minimalist, easier to find the controls I needed, and worked better with headphone remotes. Anyway, perhaps I should revisit the audible app now that chapters have been messed up in the Music app. Perhaps you could enlighten me on why you prefer the audible app?

Re: downcast on the mac
Thanks Nicholas. You've convinced me. I'll put the native podcast app in the bin. The only reason I was still using it was because Apple fixed it for a while along the lines of Downcast. But now the syncing thing with iTunes is getting silly.

Podcasts on the Mac.
Hello everyone. A few weeks ago as you all know Itunes got updated. ever since then, all the podcasts I have on Itunes refuse to clear or to be deleted. Once I play a podcast the podcast returns to download such an episode. Can someone tell me how to get rid of my podcasts off the Mac? I use Downcast on my I phone and when I connected my phone to the Mac, even though Downcast was not installed on my Mac, all my podcasts got synced although I specifically stated that nothing got synced to my Mac. I think I Cloud did that.. Thank you. Kawal. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups MacVisionaries group.

Re: Question about mail in IOS7
No, I think you still need to enable deleting by turning off archiving. Otherwise if you just choose Archive, the Inbox flag will be turned off and that message will sit in All Mail forever. You have to move the message to the Trash folder and I'm pretty certain that without Archiving, it will get moved to the Trash folder for you. I need to look at my iOS toys and be sure I'm right here. I remember reading something about how the gmail related accounts do it the right way when deleting is available.

Re: Deleting a book from the Bard mobile app once downloaded and bread.
Jessica, I don't think iTunes can talk to the BARD app. That's strange about not being authorized to play them as you had to properly sign into the BARD repository with the app in order to download in the first place. I have over 20 books on my app and have had no trouble playing any of them. The downloads themselves did have some fits and starts but got all done after all. I wonder if what you downloaded got corrupt or truncated some how.

Re: ITunes and sequencial track number tagging
I have an idea but it is rather geeky and will require some shell scripting and the use of a 3rd party ID3 editor that accepts command line functions. I'm speaking in general terms right now byt what is basically needed is that all your files are consistently named with track numbers in the same place in all file names. Then a shell or Apple script could roll through each file and parse the track number from the file name and then apply the ID3 tagger to update the track number internally. On linux, I have used simple command line tools like id3v2 to do the job but I believe id3 editor for the Mac can handle command lines - I hope. That free program id3v2 would require macport or homebrew to get it installed. Hope these other ideas are of some value.

Of course, your filename numbering must be correct, in order for mp3tag to match your track numbers accordingly. But that is very effective. You select your files, and then you tab across the mp3tag windows dialog, filling in general information that you want applied to each track. For example,you can fill in the artist and album name from within the mp3tag program window, and apply that to all selected files. You then select renumber as a second operation, and mp3tag fills in the track number field inside each mp3 file's meta data. If you then import those mp3 files into itunes, your metadata, i.e. the mp3 tags, will be just fine, so that itunes knows how to handle each mp3 file and move it into your itunes library. Hth, Paul.

Re: Fastest Way to Scan Books?
I haven't tried the hover cam on the Mac but back when I was trying to use it on my Windows laptop with Docuscan plus, I got horrible results. I went out and bought a flat bed scanner; much better results with that. The scanner with Docuscan works great on the Mac too. I just don't have any faith in these camera based approaches. On Sep 25, 2013, at 4:57 AM, erik burggraaf e...@erik-burggraaf.com wrote: This solution meets the requirement of being the fastest, but it falls over in a few ways. first, a double sided sheet feeder is an expensive proposition, even though you can probably find a voscan compatible one. If you're in a commercial setting such as a university transcription service you might be able to justify the cost, but for an individual it doesn't really make that much sense. Second, you have to cut the books. The books themselves can be quite expensive. I preferred to double up with my classmates when I was in college. I scanned some one else's book pertimes because the books costed between 70 and 150 dollars a piece. You may want to resell the books and get some of your money back later. Again, if you're a professional transcription service this might be a good bet, but for an individual it's not really the way to go. Third, While there are good tutorials on making the whole voscan/readiris/finereader system work done by knowledgeable people in plain language, the fact of the matter is, setting up the duel software system initially takes a bit of extra overhead. I've never been much tempted myself. $200 to get two pieces of software and merry them together is reasonable enough on cost, but I know that most of my clients are not happy with the idea of two programs to do one job. I like the camera system myself. I'm not a professional transcription service, so the idea of taking half an hour to scan a book that used to take me three hours really doesn't faze me. The camera is portable so I can take it on the road if I want. I can also fold it out of the way to save desk space if I need to. I use an eyepal, because I had access to funding and because I got a corporate discount on it through my access technology company. I haven't had great experiences with it under windows, but on the mac it seems to work really well despite not being designed well at all from a software standpoint. I also have a hovercam T5V. While I mostly use it under windows with k1000, it can also be used with docuscan plus on the mac. Docuscan is cloud based and I'm not very happy with that aspect of it, but I like the hovercam hardware better than the EyePal. It feels sturdier and it's cheeper. Not to mention the docuscan software is actually built for mac as opposed to the jury-rigged eyepal approach. Out of pocket, docuscan and the hovercam are cheeper than the eyepal. If your alternative is an industrial grade double-sided sheet feeding scanner, then docuscan and a hovercam are going to be cheeper than that as well. If you don't mind splicing sets of pages together and you buy a consumer grade single sided sheet feeder, you could get one for a reasonable price. I don't think it would be as fast as a camera, but it would be less maintenance because you wouldn't have to flip pages manually.

Hello. I just bought Downcast for the Mac as I'm sick and tired of the iTunes podcast feature. I purchased this item using my apple ID. So now it's installed, I would have thought it would have got all my Downcast feeds from the Cloud so how do I get all my downcast stuff which is on my I phone? Thanks.

Re: 404 error messages on blindcooltech.com
The 404 error means the URL is pointing to something that doesn't exist. The current site for Blind Cool Tech is full of broken links. It should be taken down. If it is dead, then the owners should do us all a big favor and shoot it once and for all and get rid of it totally. It is of no value in its present form.

Re: downcast on the mac
Downcast on iOS is great and I've been using it for over a year and a half. the Mac version works well as has been mentioned earlier in this thread. There have been some significant issues with the iCloud syncing with earliest versions of Downcast on the Mac but Version 1.3 has just been submitted for approval so hopefully we'll see that one in a few days. My only big complaint now with downcast on the Mac is when you speed up playback of a file, the audio degrades considerably. I don't see this happening with VLC and it doesn't happen on the iOS versions either. Not sure if that is downcast's problem or if that audio degrading at higher speeds is more native to the Mac, outside control of downcast. despite that, I still recommend Downcast for Mac highly.

Syncing between Downcast on my Mac and iPHone works surprisingly well. I won't say there's absolutely no problems, because I'm sure I could be proved wrong. But I can often start playing an episode on my iPHone and then switch to playing that same episode on my Mac and it will start playing on the Mac exactly where I paused on the iPhone. It's incredibly seamless. marking as played seems to work just as well. I'm not sure what happens when you delete an episode from one device, but that seems to work somehow as I don't get episodes deleted from one device showing up on another. In iCloud Sync Settings in Downcast on Mac and iOS you can choose to sync any or all of feeds, episodes, playlists and settings. Apart from the syncing, the other thing I love about Downcast is the playlists. These work really well and sync perfectly across devices. I believe iTunes now has this or is soon to have this feature, but Downcast had it first and it works brilliantly. Having said all that, of course everyone's opinions are different and what works for one person might not work for another.

Re: Chapters in audio books in iOS 7
Hi Nic and Bread, thanks for your replies. I'm glad you could duplicate this behaviour which is annoying to me as well. And I agree it's worth a report to Apple which I will do now. All the best Jürgen Am 28.09.2013 um 21:46 schrieb Brett C. blindinnova...@gmail.com: For what it's worth, my wife is sighted, and she is disappointed by this chapter behavior as well. Brett C. On Sep 28, 2013, at 1:10 PM, Nicholas Parsons mr.nicholas.pars...@gmail.com wrote: HI Jürgen, You're right, I'm sorry. Before sending you that last email I saw the track list button but didn't press it. Later that night I was reading an audiobook and tried using it, but it only showed me the audio files, not the chapters/tracks. In my case it was a book from audible which was in two parts (that is, two files) which were each divided into chapters. After tapping the title, I could see the two parts/files. Annoyingly, VoiceOver read out the length of each file before the name, which is a change (and a bad one) since iOS6. Once I started playing one of these files I could use the next and previous buttons to skip through chapters/tracks. However, tapping the track list button merely brought up the two parts/files, not the chapters. More annoyingly still, the time scrubber thing now shows the time for the entire file, not just the chapter. This is another change since iOS6. In iOS6 it would just show the time for the current track, now it has the time for the whole file. As the time for the whole file is longer, so the increments it skips are larger when you flick up or down. So for me, I could skip forward and back by 15-30 seconds using the buttons either side of the play/pause button, or skip forward/back by one hour blocks with the scrubber. This discrepancy made it really difficult to find my place in the book. I think this is worth writing to Apple accessibility about and explaining the affect this has on VoiceOver users. I presume it's fine for sighted people as they can probably just touch the scrubber at the point they wish to be, whereas VoiceOver users have to flick up and down by set increments. This is really disappointing as one of the reasons I loved my iPod and iPhone was the awesome way in which Apple handled the playing of audiobooks.

Then a shell or Apple script could roll through each file and parse the track number from the file name and then apply the ID3 tagger to update the track number internally.

You select your files, and then you tab across the mp3tag windows dialog, filling in general information that you want applied to each track. For example,you can fill in the artist and album name from within the mp3tag program window, and apply that to all selected files. You then select renumber as a second operation, and mp3tag fills in the track number field inside each mp3 file's meta data. If you then import those mp3 files into itunes, your metadata, i.e. the mp3 tags, will be just fine, so that itunes knows how to handle each mp3 file and move it into your itunes library. Hth, Paul.

Hi Limeade 18000mAh from http://mylimeade.com I am on the 7th charge on my iPhone. Turns itself off when finished charging. Connect your usb cable and push the button to the in front left side and you will hear the Voice Over say something like charge in IOS 7 or just a start up sound. Very portable and high usefulness gadget score. Same length as iPhone and 3 times as thick. About 2cm wider. I guess, weight about 500 gramme.

Re: Fastest Way to Scan Books?
Hi. I have tried the hovercam. If mine was broken I do not know, but I get very bad results, and had a lot of problems with software. I am getting better results with my phone and standscan, but still a flatbed scanner would be preferable, but it has become more difficult to get a good flatbed scanner. Best regards Annie. Den Sep 29, 2013 kl. 3:52 PM skrev Steve Holmes steve.holme...@gmail.com: I haven't tried the hover cam on the Mac but back when I was trying to use it on my Windows laptop with Docuscan plus, I got horrible results. I went out and bought a flat bed scanner; much better results with that. The scanner with Docuscan works great on the Mac too. I just don't have any faith in these camera based approaches. On Sep 25, 2013, at 4:57 AM, erik burggraaf e...@erik-burggraaf.com wrote: This solution meets the requirement of being the fastest, but it falls over in a few ways. first, a double sided sheet feeder is an expensive proposition, even though you can probably find a voscan compatible one. If you're in a commercial setting such as a university transcription service you might be able to justify the cost, but for an individual it doesn't really make that much sense. Second, you have to cut the books. The books themselves can be quite expensive. I preferred to double up with my classmates when I was in college. I scanned some one else's book pertimes because the books costed between 70 and 150 dollars a piece. You may want to resell the books and get some of your money back later. Again, if you're a professional transcription service this might be a good bet, but for an individual it's not really the way to go. Third, While there are good tutorials on making the whole voscan/readiris/finereader system work done by knowledgeable people in plain language, the fact of the matter is, setting up the duel software system initially takes a bit of extra overhead. I've never been much tempted myself. $200 to get two pieces of software and merry them together is reasonable enough on cost, but I know that most of my clients are not happy with the idea of two programs to do one job. I like the camera system myself. I'm not a professional transcription service, so the idea of taking half an hour to scan a book that used to take me three hours really doesn't faze me. The camera is portable so I can take it on the road if I want. I can also fold it out of the way to save desk space if I need to. I use an eyepal, because I had access to funding and because I got a corporate discount on it through my access technology company. I haven't had great experiences with it under windows, but on the mac it seems to work really well despite not being designed well at all from a software standpoint. I also have a hovercam T5V. While I mostly use it under windows with k1000, it can also be used with docuscan plus on the mac. Docuscan is cloud based and I'm not very happy with that aspect of it, but I like the hovercam hardware better than the EyePal. It feels sturdier and it's cheeper. Not to mention the docuscan software is actually built for mac as opposed to the jury-rigged eyepal approach. Out of pocket, docuscan and the hovercam are cheeper than the eyepal. If your alternative is an industrial grade double-sided sheet feeding scanner, then docuscan and a hovercam are going to be cheeper than that as well. If you don't mind splicing sets of pages together and you buy a consumer grade single sided sheet feeder, you could get one for a reasonable price. I don't think it would be as fast as a camera, but it would be less maintenance because you wouldn't have to flip pages manually.

I could be happy that the new Vocalizer Expressive is integrated in IOS7 but instead I am mostly frustrated. I'm a blind software developer from Israel using both Mac and Iphone. During the last months there were strong rumors that Apple will add a Hebrew TTS to IOS7 and Mavericks. Yes I know, even a strong rumor is just a rumor. But I also know that Hebrew TTS _is_ included in Vocalizer Expressive, bot for reasons I really don't know and understand, Apple decided to exclude it out and did not integrate Hebrew TTS in IOS7 and so far it is not included in the Beta versions of Mavericks too. Most unfortunately, nobody in the Accessibility group of Apple gives us even a clue why they had to take it out. After all, we did not ask Apple to invent the wheel. Hebrew TTS is part of Vocalizer Expressive, but still was excluded from IOS7. I, for myself can manage well with English but there are hundreds of blind people who don't know English and were waiting impatiently for the Hebrew support on IOS7 to buy iphones and now they are left out with much frustration. Yes, the Israeli blindness market is small and Apple still has significant accessibility advantages over Android, but if that Hebrew TTS will be integrated in Android before IOS, Apple will probably loose that market. I love Apple products but I'm most unhappy with their behavior towards Hebrew support and I still hope somebody will give a comprehensive answer to this issue. Thanks, Rafi.

I've been meaning to send this out to you guys but I was catching up on around 85 emails so here goes. I have an explanation of why the old Norweigion voice that people are used to is no longer used. I actually read this on the Viphone list and I wanted to inform you as well. The reason why that voice is no longer in the iPhone is because Nuance has stopped supporting the Vocalizer Automotive version 5.5 engine, which was present in iOS6 and I think is present in OS X Mountain Lion. Because of this, Apple is now using Nuance's new TTS engine, Vocalizer Expressive. This new version of Vocalizer has new voices, and as some of you that are using the Australian Karen voice may notice, she sounds way better in this version. So for people that want the old voices back, it won't happen because like I said, Vocalizer Automotive 5.5 is no longer supported by Nuance. Also if I may add, it's inevitable that this new Vocalizer Expressive engine will also be coming to OS X Mavericks when it comes out.

Of course, your filename numbering must be correct, in order for mp3tag to match your track numbers accordingly. But that is very effective. You select your files, and then you tab across the mp3tag windows dialog, filling in general information that you want applied to each track. For example,you can fill in the artist and album name from within the mp3tag program window, and apply that to all selected files. You then select renumber as a second operation, and mp3tag fills in the track number field inside each mp3 file's meta data. If you then import those mp3 files into itunes, your metadata, i.e. the mp3 tags, will be just fine, so that itunes knows how to handle each mp3 file and move it into your itunes library. Hth, Paul.

Re: use Mac as Airplay or bluetooth speaker?
Their website seems to indicate it is only Mac to other devices, not other devices to Mac. Still, I sent an email to the support address, so we'll see what comes of it. Thanks for the tip.

I think it is possible to use airfoil and airfoil speakers. www.rogueamoeba.com The app for iphone is free, try download it and see if it is possible. I have only used the other way.

Den Sep 29, 2013 kl. 5:34 AM skrev Alex Hall mehg...@gmail.com: Hi all, I googled this, but had no luck. Is it possible to send audio to the Mac from an iOS device by having the Mac act as either an Airplay or bluetooth speaker? I found two apps, but one (Dialog) is for calls only, and the other (Banana TV) is long since abandoned. To be clear, I want to send audio from iOS to the Mac, not the other way around, and not at phone call quality. Thanks in advance for any information.

Calculator: Reverse Polish notation and Reviewing the Stack?
Hi, all, I've been playing with this mode in the calculator, and I find it very easy. You can choose it in the view menu in calculator or press command-r. It's great for entering many figures and several operands and calculating them. When I googled Reverse Polish Notation, I found lots of tutorials about it. I have a question, though. Is it possible to review the stack of figures with VO? I can't seem to find a way to do this.

Wow, I haven't seen or used reverse-polish notation since I was programming compilers in my comp Sci classes in college.

Re: Calculator: Reverse Polish notation and Reviewing the Stack?
I realy like it, because it's a linear and not so much a spatial process. One reason I've never done well in math is confusion with spatial orientation, so this is very refreshing.

Re: Calculator: Reverse Polish notation and Reviewing the Stack?
Hi Teresa, The stack is a table that vo interacts with in the usual way. It's just above the value display, but you will need to move vo left to find it. It has four rows because they traditionally had stacks with a capacity of four. Of course, the one in calculator is a scroll view so it holds much more. The new ones also have much larger stacks now also, but many of the old timers say that all anybody really needs is four. When you think about it, it makes sense.The top of the stack is the last row of the table. It grows downward. Hope that helps.

Re: Calculator: Reverse Polish notation and Reviewing the Stack?
Thanks, Barry. I understand the layout. However, VO doesn't seem to be reading things consistently. I just tried entering four 4s and then plus. I came up with VO reading 16 and one number four in the table. Either I'm missing something or VO isn't behaving itself. :) Thanks, Teresa On Sep 29, 2013, at 8:35 PM, Barry Hadder bhad...@gmail.com wrote: Hi Teresa, The stack is a table that vo interacts with in the usual way.

Never Mind; got it, Was Re: Calculator: Reverse Polish notation and Reviewing the Stack?
I can review the entries in the table before I hit the operand. That's really what I wanted to do.
