You'll need to download this from: http://www.videolan.org/vlc/ You can also use QuickTime player, which is installed on your Mac, if you select a track and use the "Get Info" (Command-I) dialog as James outlined for VLC. Use item chooser menu (VO-I) to find "Open with" and VO-Right arrow to the pop up button. VO-Space and use your arrow keys to change the setting from iTunes to QuickTime player, or to VLC if you've installed it. Then VO-Right arrow past "Use this application to open all documents like this" to the "Change all" button and press with VO-Space. If you navigate to "Open with" and hear "collapsed disclosure triangle" use VO-Space to expand it so you can read the information under the "Open with" options. HTH. Cheers, Esther James wrote: Hi May, You could try VLC Player. I don't have a URL for it but you'll find it on Google. VLC will not play Audible books though as far as I know though so you'll need ITunes for that. Also, once you have VLC installed you can use Command I to bring up the Get Info dialogue on your audio file and change the default player from ITunes to VLC. This will play all your files in VLC after this at least it should do.

The only thing I like about the pac mate now is the braille display and the ability to use it or the pac mate itself if either is not working. The braille display is the better part of the hardware, in my opinion. My experience with the pac mate and street talk, is that: 1, the gps receiver provided with the package can be far too tardy in tracking satelites, or being tracked by them, take your pick. 2, you need a blue tooth card installed in one of the cf slots, and your maps installed in the other, which means you need to do some jiggling around and setting up before you can get going. 3, I found that the entire setup was a hoffible drain on the pm battery. This is true on the cel phone as well, but at least there, I can bring along a spare battery and there is no setup. My two cents. js - Original Message - From: John G.

Not that I care about Mobile SPeak, but you no longer have to pay a transfer fee. You can move the license from one phone to another via the setup program. On Jul 19, 2009, at 6:33 AM, patrickneazer wrote: Hello Simon and all: One question you might want to consider is the issue of expandability. I am a user of a nokia 6650 with Mobile Speak and I love it. However, the number of applications that will work with it is not as robust as the Iphone. Second, while both my Mobile Speak and voiceover upgrades are free, the method of upgrading is quite different. I do not know about talks because I have never used it. However, if it is anything like Mobile Speak I cannot upgrade it independently. The only reason I make a point of this is the ability of being able to keep up with the latest updates to a system rather than being one step behind. Furthermore, does it make sense to have to pay a transfer cost if you either lose your phone or decide you want or need a new one. In the case of Mobile Speak, if you change phones for whatever reason there is a transfer cost. I do not know how it works with Talks. If I want another Iphone I just get another Iphone without incurring any additional costs for things beyond my control which may have resulted in the phone's loss or just for the freedom of wanting something different. There are a few more reasons I can mention though I will point out only one more ... with this arrangement of the Iphone and AT&T, the entire customer service flow is for the first time under one roof. If I have a problem with the Iphone I am able to take it to AT&T and they can be of assistance without necessarily farming it out to someone else and if they do farm it out to someone else ... that would be Apple and they would know that I am on the way (smile). With Mobile Speak it could be a mobile speak issue which I would have to go to Code Factory, it could be a phone problem where Nokia would have to be called in, it could be a billing problem where the Phone company would have to be tapped and, if I had a problem with the actual purchase of Mobile Speak and I did not purchase it from Code Factory I then would have to deal with AT&T's office of national disability concerns which is a completely separate operation from AT&T. I like the one umbrella that the Iphone has the potential to provide. I have both and love both and see the advantages to each. Just my two cents contributed to the discussion. No matter what your final conclusion, it will be a good one. Take good care.

Re: navigon lite
I was able to route from where I am to where I wanted to go and got directions for it. Jus not like I would with trekker, it's not set for that yet. Maybe some day but know big deal for me. I just need to know how to get someplace so the map feature that's already on the IPhone works for me.

Apparently the 'lite' version is little more than a demo in that it doesn't let you route from where you are to some point. It has a 'simulation' button which will go from someplace near by to the point you picked, but that's not really useful.

Re: Article Slamming the iPhone
Smile, I'm not use to the Mac environment at all. This is my first apple equipment. Not doing too bad with it for only less than a month. May and Wynter with a y - Original Message - From: Scott Howell To: macvisionaries@googlegroups.com Sent: Monday, July 13, 2009 1:18 PM Subject: Re: Article Slamming the iPhone Well it would be hard for me to say much on the iPhone based on the fact I have not had the chance to work with one. However, from my experiences and listening to those who have used the iPhone, they seem to have better luck navigating around etc. than I have had with Mobile Speak. Then again, if your used to the Mac environment, the iPHone will appeal a bit more as well. So, I hear what your saying, but I'd have to at this point say the interface would likely be more to my liking. Other than that, as I said, it will come down to experience and like Alex pointed out, this is the closest you get to what a sighted user experiences as well. Now is that a qualifier? Well I guess that all depends. Me, I want something that integrates nicely and provides a good user experience. So, guess I'll have more to say when I get one. :) On Jul 13, 2009, at 3:22 PM, Damon Fibraio wrote: OK. I understand what you are saying. But is there anything about the I-phone beyond that?

When it comes right down to it, cost, cost, and cost. All the adaptive solutions you mention cost lots of money. I'm by no means unable to afford the adaptive solutions, but I also realize that the adaptive market is small and the cost will be considerably more do to the limited market. However, why should I pay oh, maybe $150 for the phone, $300 or so for the screen reader, and then another $895 for the GPS solution. So, now I have invested $1,345 into a phone that will get me around and generally offer me fairly accessible benefits to some apps. Where now with the iPhone I can spend $199 or $299 and get great access to pretty much anything I need, tight integration with my Mac without needing a third-party app that I would likely have to pay for, and a future of other capabilities that will not cost me nearly as much. So, really in my opinion I'd rather spend the money on other things and really to be honest, it always will come down to what works for you and fits within your budget. If you are happy with the setup you have, then that is great and I am pleased for you. However, the other thing here is choice and that is probably a close second in my book. Having choice is great and yes, it is also great that I can just go to the Apple store and buy the phone if I choose to do so and be up and running right away. I don't have to unregister and reregister a phone etc. Now of course don't take my message as picking on you or any of the developers of the software, I'm merely answering your question with my opinion. Again , hey what works for you is all that matters in the end and you are happy with your choice because you are the one using it, not me. :) On Jul 13, 2009, at 2:49 PM, Damon Fibraio wrote: OK, consider me a newbie.
