Re: Voice over lag and other lion issues
ciao luca and massimo veturetti! you know well that i don't agree with you. i don't understand what are your measures since with that other system in 20 years we stil can not install the os? you will say that an advanced user surely knows how to deal with this issue but as always i can anser that eden more advanced users can serve them selves with all the tools they know how to use regardless of operating systems. most of all fail to give assolute importance to the tables and the braille because the computer is not used only for super documents or who knowswhat else . i think that if somebody whants to nivea serios opinione on an assistive technology he or she must consider the system and its general use instead of an element by it self. for example ilote the touch pad but i will neverblame jais for not having it. then if we watt to be fair enough must say that ms office 2007 is not the most easy thing to use and let us not talk to some jais problems which jais keeps on having besides its price.

Re: creating audio books from text
hi maybe you can try ghost reader from www.assistiveware.com even stanza makes audio files but i don't know about daisy . let us know if you find some valid solutions . rossy Il giorno 06/mag/2010, alle ore 01.34, William Windels ha scritto: Hi all, I have some troubles to create spoken text from a text so that I can listen to it on my daisy/mp3 player. I have scanned a book in rtf-format and the rtf has a size of +- 4.5 MB. I have tried the following: I was trying with open office 3.2 and the plugin dtb2daisy to make a daisy book of the text/mp3 the in both processes, ooo was crashing/ hanging. I had also tried with success to generate a mp3 from the text with the workflow from www.universalaccess.it. This workflow uses itunes to generate a mp3 from the text. But, the problem is here that the mp3 is so big and the mp3player can't mark places in the mp3 so I can't read the book comfortably. What I am looking for: 1. a program for the mac to generate a daisy 2.02 structure based on a text or a corresponding singel mp3-file; or 2. a extension on the workflow that converts readable text to spoken text with itunes but it should take a new mp3 for every new page; or Other suggestions are also very welcome thanx alot for your toughest about this kind regards, William -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "MacVisionaries" group.
