Re: What is the best recording app for aM2 Mac?

2024-01-12 Thread Herbie Allen 
If you are just doing basic recording, then Voice Memos which is already built 
in will be fine. It is in your Apps folder. Go to Finder, then command Shift A 
and hit V. Otherwise, I recommend Amadeus Pro. If you get the web version it 
has a 30 day free trial.

That means you need to go to System Settings > Software Update.
It is probably an OS update, or an update to Safari.

First of all, now that you have read the notification, dismiss it.
Then check 2 places.
1.  Go to the Mac AppStore, and press CMD + NumRow 8, which will take you to 
Updates.  This is where you can see if there are any app updates for any apps 
you may have installed from the AppStore.
2.  Go to System Settings > Software Updates, and see if there are any OS or 
system related updates pending installation.
You can also go to the Apple menu, in the Menu Bar, where you can also find out 
if there are any pending updates by navigating to either System Settings, or 
AppStore in the menu.

HTH.

Reading book length documents with Text Edit and Pages

2024-01-12 Thread moiz tundawala 


Hi All,

I am an academic and a new Mac user. I have started reasonably well, 
learning from John Panarese’s tutorials and other materials available 
online. As a researcher and scholar, I need to read and engage with 
multiple book length documents at the same time. My initial impression 
about Microsoft Word is that it does not work well with large documents on 
Mac. So I am trying out Text Edit and Pages. But here is a strange problem.

When I open a book length document on Text Edit/Pages/Word on Mac, I first 
interact with it to read the text. I use the quick arrow keys and my own 
commander shortcuts to read paragraph by paragraph.

Voiceover starts alright, but as it moves to a new page, it announces page 
break and I hear the beep sound indicating either entering invisible or 
visible section. After this, Voiceover weirdly begins to read character by 
character. It works fine when I go to the next paragraph. But the same 
problem occurs once again when Voiceover moves to the next page. This is 
extremely annoying, and I want Voiceover to read paragraph by paragraph 
smoothly across pages.

The books I am reading are in Word format which I am opening in Text Edit 
and Pages.

What settings do I need to change to stop Voiceover from getting stuck on 
pagebreaks?

As I mentioned, I need to work with large documents and I am looking for 
the best way to do this on Mac.

Warmly,

Moiz.
