Getting Busy in Safari
Hi Everybody, I am at the genius bar right this mount. They saw the problem and suggested that when you get the Safari busy, that you hit return. This seemed to work.

Re: Mac VO friendly banks?
Hi Scott, I have found that Brookline Bank out of Brookline Mass does indeed work very well. This is one of the reasons I am staying with them instead of going to a bank just down the street in the next block even though they have a talking atm machine. The only problem I have had, is that I'm getting a Safari busy when I try to log off. I am going up to the Genious Bar tomorrow to have them take a look. I had the problem just after upgrading to Lion.

Magic Trackpad and IPhone
Hi there, I have been playing around with the Magic trackpad since I have upgraded to Lion. Figured I would give it another chance. In spite of having the settings at their lowest point, it still seems to sensitive. Might this be a good indication not to get an IPhone? I was thinking of upgrading to one but don't want to waist the money if it won't work. Any replies would be greatly appreciated.

Re: a couple of trackpad commander questions

Re: docuscan plus
Hi Dennise, I use Docuscan Plus all the time and it works great. I am using the Hovercam, but have a Canoscan lide 90 which I bought from Serotek several years ago. After you scan a document, you must first save it in the cloud then reopen it and then save to your hard drive. You can then erase it from the cloud. If you should want to keep it there, you can password protect it.

Re: Abisee?
Hi Donna, I must get my two cents in here. I completely agree with David. Docuscan works even better then their previous scanning software did. It doesn't take long at all to scan a page. I have found the results totally accurate. Of course, this does depend on the quality of print on the page. I have a Cannon Lide 90 which I bought from Serotek several years ago and it still works great. Good luck. Chris On Jun 6, 2011, at 10:55 PM, Donna Goodin wrote: > Hi David, > > Thanks for all this.

Re: hoverCam T5V not being recognized
Hi Myrna, When you run Docuscan, does it give you the Hovercam as an option? There is some software which you can download from the Hovercam website for the Mac. I have to wonder if this isn't part of the problem. I keep getting this page appears to be blank and Serotek is putting in a request to replace the camera for the second time. Wish I could be of further help but I don't know what else to suggest at this time.

Re: itunes and ripping cds
Hi Dennise, If you do not see the track names, you need to go to your preferences in Itunes and click on track name. If the tracks are on the Gracenet datebase, they will be imported.

Re: itunes and ripping cds
Hi Dennise, Yes, when you rip a CD, the file is converted to say an MP3 file. This willl happen to each track until all the tracks have been converted. When you rip a CD, you want to check this to be sure all the tracks have been converted successfully.

Re: abby fine reader express question
Hi again Carolyn, Unfortunately, it does seem that we as Mac users sometimes get short shrift. Maybe we can somehow get this situation resolved somehow.

Re: abby fine reader express question
Hi Carolyn, I bought Abbyfinereader $99.00 figuring that it would be an inexpensive way to scan. It would not work with my scanner which is a Canoscan lide 90. When Docuscan came along, I deleted the other one and just considered it a bad job. The problem is that we are given outdated scan engines so as I see it, there is nothing really out there for us. I can understand people's concerns about having personal stuff out on the internet and paying $299.00 but I would rather do that then waste money on a program that doesn't work.

I just wish there was another solution on the Mac that didn't require using to applications to get a scanned document, as is the case with needing to use Vuscan and then ABBYY Fine Reader. Isn't ABBYY Fine Reader $99? I wasn't successful getting it to work during the trial period, but I kind of put it asside and forgot about it. Now, I'm loathe to put down $99 for it, and then find out I still can't get it to work. My desktop PC I was using to scan with an old Dell all-in-one and ABBYY Fine Reader version 5 has just died, and I don't have a scanning solution at all at the moment. I do have a sighted husband, so it is not terribly urgent. Guess I"m just biding my time here.

Converting files to Itunes
Hi there, I was trying to do a right-click to bring up the menu to convert music files to play in Itunes. It was working, but when I tried to do it the other day, nothing would happen. If I do Command I, I'm asked if I want to E-Mail the page which is one of the choices. If there are some files missing for some reason, and if I run the CD installer, will it replace my whole system or just add back any possible missing files? Thanks for any ideas in advance.

Re: Hovercam

Hovercam
Hi there, I just received my Hovercam for the Docuscan Software. I tried to scan and all that comes up is apparently a blank page. I checked Image Capture as the Docuscan documentation suggests, and it says that there isn't any camera there. On the camera's website is the software Image Express for the Mac. Do you need to download this first? Thanks for any help. Chris -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "MacVisionaries" group.

If you go to Sarotalk.com, there is a podcast where there is a demonstration of the Mac version of Docuscan with the camera done by Rickie Enger. I just bought the software which is for Serotek customers $199 until the end of April. The regular price is $299. The camera is $499.00. You can't go wrong with that.

Hi Lynn, Yes, I did close the program and then reopened it again and I was thanked for activating it. First, I click on Start, then go to the internet and find the file I want and download it. It only seems to download a little bit of the file over and over again. I have to abort the operation. Other then that, whatwas there, sounded perfectly fine. Thanks for your help.

Re: will be starting my first mac class
Hi Sara, When I first went to the Apple store, you could feel that they were a little doubtful as to whether they could do the training or not. Apparently, i impressed them enough with the little I knew about VO that they were willing to give it a go. I'm sure they got as much out of the classes as I did. If nothing else, I hope that I paved the way for some other blind person if they decide to take classes in the future. By the way, the price couldn't be better $99.00 for the year, 50 classes.

Hi Chris, I guess some people use Vuscan and Abby Fine Reader. I tried Abby fine reader and couldn't do anything with it. Apparently, it will work only with certain scanners.

Hi Everyone: A little while ago, there was some discussion about the Eye-Pal and possible Mac software. I looked on the website and it is available by itself for$150.00. From what I can tell, the manual only mentions software for the PC. The website is: HTTP//WWW.absiee.com. As soon as I have the money, I will definitely get an Eye-Pal. Hope this helps.

Re: Is the disappearance of Voice Over a unique problem, or do others have it, too?
Hi there, Just a thought, would it still be worth going to the Apple Store and explaining the problem to see what they say? I have heard that there are some occasions where Apple has made a replacement even though your Apple care is no longer valid. Just thought it might be worth looking into. Good luck.

Magic Track Pad
Hey Everybody, I just rejoined the list and it is great to still see a few familiar names here. I bought a magic track pad and wasn't able to do to much with it. I tried changing some of the settings to adjust the sensitivity but it didn't seem to make any difference. So , I am just getting along with the keyboard.
