Re: Text to Audio File Conversion, with Multiple Voices?

[Anne Robertson]

Hello Alex,

I think GhostReader from Convenienceware will do exactly what you want. I 
haven't used it in a couple of years, but it would appear that it's compatible 
with Mavericks. Here's a link to its web page:


Cheers,

Anne

Re: Text to Audio File Conversion, with Multiple Voices?

[Devin Prater]

If you make your own app, that'd be cool! I don't know of any existing 
apps out there that'll do this.

Hi all,
Is there an app out there that can, given a properly tagged text file, 
convert the text into speech in different voices and write the 
resulting audio to a file? I have to memorize lines, and I'd like to 
convert them to speech in a file I can replay. Ideally, these would be 
spoken with one voice per actor, so the script sounds more life-like 
and is easier to parse as I'm listening. Is this possible, or do I 
have to make my own app? Thanks.

Re: Creating Folders for iCloud Documents

[Nicholas Parsons]

Yes, Alex, that's right except there's a Documents subdirectory in the Pages 
directory. Here's Tim's original instructions:
1.  Go to the Finder.
2.  Up to the Go menu.
3.  VO down to Library, let go of the VO keys then press return.  You must hold 
down the VO keys in order that the Library choice is available.
4.  Navigate to the Mobile Documents folder, open it.
5.  Find the com~apple~Pages folder, open it.
6.  Open the Documents folder.
7.  cmd-shift-n to create a new folder and name it whatever you want.
8.  Move the items you want in each folder with the cmd-c and cmd-option-v 
commands.
9.  Close the window.

All done.  It should be fine for the Mac now but it's a little confusing when 
using your iDevice but not too bad.  For example, when in Pages on the iPhone, 
you need to double-tap on the "Rename item" to access the folder contents.  So, 
if I create a folder called Safety, double-tapping on the name Safety won't do 
what you want but double-tapping on the Rename Safety item will reveal its 
contents at which time you can double-tap on the name of a specific file to 
open it.  A little awkward but doable.

HTH.

Later...

Re: A question with Pages exporting to word documents

[Nicholas Parsons]

Hi Daniel,

Just to add a little explanation in case it helps you understand. Pages can 
"export" to Word. They deliberately use the word "export" rather than save or 
similar, because you cannot work on and save word doc files like Pages 
documents. So the idea is you work in Pages format until your ready for 
submission and then if necessary you can export to word format and submit. If 
you need to collaborate with people who do not own Pages, remember you can save 
the file to iCloud and share its link so that your collaborators can edit the 
document on the iWork web app. It seems odd that Text Edit has better support 
in some ways for word docs than Pages, but there you have it.

Cheers,
Nic

Re: Text to Audio File Conversion, with Multiple Voices?

Thanks. I thought about using that, but that can't append audio to one file. 
Still, it'd be easy enough to set things up in a big old script… Hmm, this 
might work. Thanks.

Re: Text to Audio File Conversion, with Multiple Voices?

[Chris Blouch]

If you don't mind playing around in the terminal you should be able to 
get the "say" command to do what you want. You can pass it a text file 
to speak and have it write the audio out to a file. In the text file you 
can embed commands to the speech engine to change pitch and such. I'd 
have to dig through the archives of this mailing list to dig those up 
but a little Googling should get you going. Here is one doc that seems 
to cover things:

On many of the ads, you can skip them after watching the first several seconds. 
 I only know this from watching youtube with sighted friends.  I haven’t found

Re: Text to Audio File Conversion, with Multiple Voices?

[Alex Hall]

No apology necessary. I appreciate the input and, if I can't find anything for 
the Mac, I may go with the iOS option.

 Hi all,
 Is there an app out there that can, given a properly tagged text file, 
 convert the text into speech in different voices and write the resulting 
 audio to a file? I have to memorize lines, and I'd like to convert them to 
 speech in a file I can replay. Ideally, these would be spoken with one 
 voice per actor, so the script sounds more life-like and is easier to 
 parse as I'm listening. Is this possible, or do I have to make my own app? 
 Thanks.

help with new keyboard

[alia robinson]

I just got the Logitech K750. I love it, but am having one problem. My function 
keys are now performing the functions of playing media etc instead of opening 
voiceover utility. I have the box checked, and my apple wireless keybard and 
laptop built-in are performing as normal, but not the k750. Can it not do that, 
or am I missing something? Ifit is not able to do that how do I fix it so I can 
do these things like open vo utility?

Re: Collaboration with pages?

[Alex Hall]

It might be, and I have thought of that as well. Ideally, Google Drive would 
work, as many schools in the United States seem to be turning to that. However, 
blind students often have iPads, so I was hoping Pages/iCloud would be a more 
accepted alternative. Dropbox is great, but it makes seamless collaboration 
more difficult.

questions about Nicecast

Does anyone know how to set up Nicecast to do a live broadcast?  Also is there 
a way to run the microphone with it so if I want to talk between songs?  Also 
how do I tell it what kind of stream I want.  For example, my stream I need to 
broadcast too is 44,100 KHZ and it password protected.  it's also an mp3 stream.

Text to Audio File Conversion, with Multiple Voices?

[Alex Hall]

Hi all,
Is there an app out there that can, given a properly tagged text file, convert 
the text into speech in different voices and write the resulting audio to a 
file? I have to memorize lines, and I'd like to convert them to speech in a 
file I can replay. Ideally, these would be spoken with one voice per actor, so 
the script sounds more life-like and is easier to parse as I'm listening. Is 
this possible, or do I have to make my own app? Thanks.

Re: braille in text edit on the mac?

[Eugenia Firth]

Hi Jessica 
I hope I understand exactly what you are asking, and here's my take on it for 
what it's worth. 

If you are talking about producing braille on your Mac in TextEdit that can be 
embossed, I think in theory it could be done, although more easily done with a 
braille display with keyboard input keys. If I were going to do it, I would 
first figure out a way to tell TextEdit that I had a line length of 
approximately 40 characters and a page length of 25 lines. Then I would turn 
off translation with chord-g so the computer wouldn't translate anything I 
input. 

If you do it with the computer keyboard, you would have to also set TextEdit 
the way I suggested and then type on the keyboard the correct keys to 
correspond with the correct braille symbols, such as the opening parentheses 
symbol for the of sign, for instance. This would be a lot slower than doing it 
with the braille display keys, but I guess it could be done. After all, the 
computer would not translate anything. 
Oh, yes, if you have a braille display with input keys, make sure to turn on 
dots 7 and 8 because otherwise I think you will get Gffade 1 and what you 
really want is computer braille. Remember, turning on dots 7 and 8 with 
VoiceOver determines whether uncontracted braille shows up as computer braille 
or Grade 1 and VoiceOver calls both of them uncontracted braille. 

Regards, 
Gigi

Re: My experience so far this year with taxact; was: Frustrating accessibility day

[Eugenia Firth]

Hi Cheryl
I think, although I can't tell for sure, that other things that may cause 
problems is doing something like a Schedule C. I have a blind friend that had 
no problems last year, except the Capsha. The imports didn't cause me problems 
either. I got lost in the help menu and couldn't figure out how to get out. I'm 
glad you had fewer problems. What I'm really disappointed about, though, is the 
attitude of the Tax Act people. They basically wrote back to me and said they 
were sorry I had trouble, but that they could go nothing about it and were too 
poor to bother. 

Regards, 
Gigi

Re: how to convert unprotected epubs/other ebook formats to txt?

[Georgina Joyce]

Hello,

Again if your request is to generate a html file on OS X then calibre will do 
that but it is not accessible to install then tell it to go and grab the 
command line tools. But once they are installed it's easy to convert.

Don't know about IOS platform.

Re: How can I make a backup of my homefolder.

Hi Kayaker.
 Carbon copy cloner did the trick. I can really recommend this program.

Maybe superduper also could have done it. But I was only interesting to copy to 
a folder.

Best regards Annie.

Re: how to convert unprotected epubs/other ebook formats to txt?

[Annie Skov Nielsen]

Hi.

If you use IPhone you can use voice dream, and export all text to a program 
e.g. accessnote.

I found a tool on this site, that I use.
www.epubsoft.com
It is called toolbox.

I would like a program that can convert an epub file to a single file HTML 
file, that would really make a difference for me.

Best regards Annie.

tip for using voice over on the web

[Mike Arrigo]

Hey everyone, some of you may find this useful. There are some web 
sites that will display certain extra links if the mouse is placed on 
the first item of a list. For example, if a site says products, putting 
the mouse on it may open a list of product categories. Really this is 
bad web design, the page should not change just because the mouse sits 
on an item, but, if you change the setting in voiceover so the mouse 
follows the voiceover cursor, you will gain access to these items. I've 
made this the default setting and have found links on several sites 
that were not there before.

Re: An app to make an FTP server in a mac?

[Chris Blouch]

You could also play with the FTP server built into OSX. To start it, 
from the terminal do:


sudo -s launchctl load -w /System/Library/LaunchDaemons/ftp.plist

Then the users you already have can ftp to your box using the same 
credentials. If you want to set up anonymous FTP you'll have to do some 
config file editing. Here's a page that talks about how to do that:


http://www.linickx.com/3869/os-x-anonymous-ftp-directory-on-mountain-lion

If you want to turn the ftp server off you use the same terminal command 
but change the word "load" to "unload".

OS X Server has been around since the dawn of OS X.  It used to be

My experience so far this year with taxact; was: Frustrating accessibility day

[Cheryl Homiak]

Today I sat down to work on my taxes using Taxact just as I did last year. 
Because of Eugenia's report I did so with some trepidation. I was working om my 
iMac.

I chose to use importing but I don't think this in and of itself affected 
possible accessibility issues since I still had to go step-by-step through all 
the screens. In all cases, there was a main website and then a frame (with the 
word "body" (there's actually more to that frame title but that's what I can 
remember)  in it) where the actual activity took place. I had absolutely no 
trouble with this website and have completed all but the Q&A sections for both 
state and federal. I am expecting to have the same captcha issue I had last 
year when I file and I do plan to have a sighted person come and just visually 
check through everything for me but since I imported the formats really should 
be correct so if it were not for the captcha, which does not seem to be 
accessible with captcha tools, I would not be afraid to finish it by myself.

As for the website crashing, I only had one problem with this and my data was 
not lost when this happened. This appeared to be traceable to a time-out 
situation; I tried to stop it from timing out but ended up with busy signals. 
The best thing to do about this is probably to sign out if you need to pause to 
look for or calculate information or if you are interrupted, even if you are 
sure you will be right back - we all know how that goes!

This report is in no way intended as a contradiction or belittlement of 
Eugenia's report; we all know that different people on different machines with 
different factors can have quite different results; sometimes the differences 
are easily explained and sometimes not. I just wanted to encourage people who 
have used taxact or are considering using it by describing my very positive 
experience so far. Btw I am doing this on my iMac which I returned to Mountain 
Lion. There is a possibility that Mavericks introduces more challenges because 
i notice in Mavericks that the Amazon website refreshes repeatedly and does 
other aggravating things! At any rate, my experience on safari with Mountain 
Lion on my iMac has been totally enjoyable except that i will no better than to 
leave the website open while I stop for anything from now on. It actually did 
give me some time before the timeout warning but I'd rather not even risk 
dealing with that situation.

Hth.

Re: Can I dual boot with Mavrick?

[Mark Furness]

Yes, my mac is set up this way.

All I did was partician  my hard drive with disc utility, then installed 
Maverics.

note, in my case when I put an OS on an external it moved very slowly, it was a 
pain to me.
Go into preferences, tab to start up disc and pick whitch one you wish to start 
with.

Re: Creating Folders for iCloud Documents

If you get info (command-I) on a video file there is a section called 
"Open With" and under that is a popup where you can pick which player 
you want to open that file. You can pick VLC and you're all set but 
after that popup you'll also find a button that says Change All. If you

Re: seems like i cant modify my external hard drive

[Piotr Machacz]

Is your hard drive NTFS? You can check this in disk utility. If it is, that 
would explain your problems - OS X can only read NTFS, but not write. If you 
want to write to your drive youw ill need to format it to a different 
filesystem, either HFS if you'll only be using it on macs, or FAT32/XFAT if 
you'll be using it on both mac and windows. The difference between FAT32 and 
XFAT is that FAT32 supports drives up to 2TB and one file can be up to 4GB in 
size. XFAT doesn't have those limitations, but it's only supported on XP SP3 
and up as well as OS X 10.6.6 and newer. And obviously, if you'll be 
reformatting the drive you'll first need to copy the files off of it before you 
do it since you'll lose everything otherwise.

Re: How can I make a backup of my homefolder.

[Kayaker]

Hi,

I cannot recommend carbon copy cloner enough. Not only can it clone your entire 
hard drive, provide timed backups, it can also copy and back up selected 
folders and it will work around all the problems you will have using a finder 
copy.

If you do not want to get that app, you can use the ditto command from the 
terminal. Basically that command takes a source path and a destination path and 
will recursively copy the source to the destination. Read the man page on ditto 
before using it though, if you are not familiar with the command.

Good luck.

braille in text edit on the mac?

[Jessica]

hi,
I was reading an apple discussion forum this morning about typing in braille 
using text edit.
How would I do it? the person who asked the question on the form said that 
whenever they typed in Braille, it looked like squares visually.
How would I accomplish this? How would I emboss it once I am finished typing?


A question about solving capchas using safari, how do you download webvism? 
does it still exist? Is it free?

Re: how to open hard disk

[Kayaker]

Hi,

I'm not sure you mean what you say. You format disk drives in disk utility, 
located in /applications/utilities/. The method is identical and has nothing to 
do with seeing or mounting the disk on your desktop. In fact, you cannot format 
a drive with encryption. You can write encrypted data to a drive, or some 
drives support hardware level encryption, but formatting has nothing to do with 
encryption for the most part. If you want to use encryption, it is done via the 
MacOS in System Preferences Security File Vault. If you are using a third party 
external drive that boasts hardware level encryption, you'll have to refer to 
the manual to see if it is actually supported on the Mac.

For me it happens more often than not, but like Tim it's not annoying enough to 
go through the headache of a clean install.

I'm on a 2013 MBA with 8GB of memory.

Time Machine

[Terje Strømberg]

Hi

In case others is struggling with how to open Time Machine in Finder to browse 
for specific files. To put Time Machine in Finder, hit cmd + space, type Time 
Machine, hit enter, a weired sound follows, it is many Finder windows that 
splashes and you ar inside Time Machines hard drive, hit vo - command + home 
and close with vo + space. Then, you will find Time Machine in the side bar in 
Finder. You may have to hit command + , to open Finder preferences and chose 
external hard drives, journal machines and server to show up in the side panel. 
The same procedure can be done by checkmark «show Time Machine in the menu» 
option in System preferences, Time Machine. Then you will find Time Machine in 
the system menu beside the clock somewhere. 

It is the backups.backupdb map you need to look for to browse your backuped 
files. Personally i could only find backups from 2014 because i forgot my 
password to the 2013 backup, but it looks like it is possible to browse other 
backups like we thought. Just change disk in System preferences, Time Machine. 
I believe also that the disk you chose in system preferences, Time Machine  is 
the disk you command + r into during start up. You will only see one disk here 
in Time Machine backup.

Take care

Re: control no longer stops speech in Mavericks?

[Tim Kilburn]

Hi,

On numerous machines.  MBP with 8 GB RAM and spinning HD.  Various iMacs with, 
of course, external keyboards.  These are the Apple extended keyboards.  Some 
with attached external HD's, some without.  MacPro with numerous internal HD's 
but no external ones.  All have likely been upgrade installs as I have yet to 
be convinced of the need for the clean install.  In fact, as I was just testing 
my MBP this morning trying to duplicate the issue, Control stopped my speech 
instantly without fail.  So, it's not an issue for me that would ever cause me 
to go through the effort of a total clean install.

Re: control no longer stops speech in Mavericks?

[Justin Mann]

So for those of you getting this issue, Is this after performing an update to 
Mavericks, or is this when using a computer that has a clean install?

Re: control no longer stops speech in Mavericks?

[Donna Goodin]

Sure.  Just start VO speaking, maybe start it reading an email.  then press 
Control.  Previously, that would stop speech immediately.  Now, sometimes it 
does, sometimes it doesn't.  And sometimes you get double-speech, which speaks 
to Tim's theory that it's a buffering problem.

how to open hard disk

[Scott Berry]

Hello there,

I accidentally formatted my disk wrong with encryption.  Although this is a 
good measure it looks like it's not showing up on my desktop.  How do I go 
about selecting the drive again so I can format it differently?

Re: control no longer stops speech in Mavericks?

[Terje Strømberg]

Then, i suggest you do. It may be worth the effort. I only hear dual voices a 
little bit at the login window and speech stops when hitting ctrl one time. In 
only Mavericks upgrade i needed to hit two or three times. I can only speak for 
my system, so i do not promise anything. I have only experienced strange 
behavior with ZoomText and a dictionary program so far, but theese problems 
solved themselves after reboot it seems. 

Take care

[Annie Skov Nielsen]

Hi all.

I need to make a backup of my homefolder. You would say peace of cake. Yes

Best regards Annie.
