RE: MP3 Problems

2016-02-09 Thread John Gurd 
Yes, some mp3 files can get corrupted but fixed easily. A common problem is 
when time indexes get messed up resulting in a file that doesn't play all the 
way through even though the information is still there. It often happens when 
several files for audio books are joined incorrectly. I used to have a tool for 
this but can't find it. I suggest Googling for mp3 repair tools.

2016-02-09 Thread Dane Trethowan

unfortunately I’m going to have to buy it in order to try it as its only 
available from the store, oh well $30 is not $300 is it .

No, I have not heard of that one. Don't recall seeing anybody comment
on any of the Mac-related lists I'm on either.

Maybe check the Apple Vis site before you spend your 30 clams.

To be honest, finding the link to send your complaint about
accessibility is a pain in the rear. What I ended up doing was writing
to accessibility at apple. Of course, they don't help directly. But
they did send me a link to the form you have to fill out that leads to
getting the refund. So if you have a problem, I'd start with them. I
probably wouldn't bother for a 2 dollar app. But for 30 bucks, I'd sure
do it. In my case, it was for 2 iBooks that were a total bust, while
the Kindle versions proved totally readable. Go figure.

Well, I hope it works with voice over. You can get a refund if it
proves inaccessible. At least, that it possible with i-device apps that
prove to be inaccessible or iBooks. So I assume it is possible with a
Mac app.

I wouldn’t have known about it either had it not bee for the Mac Update Twitter 
feed I follow, there have been some updates released to it obviously.

I’ve had a look at the web site and the tech specs which look quite impressive.

What on earth went on with the Apple versions of those books? I know 
that publishers of books have the right to control accessibility for 
their publications but why one platform being accessible and not the other.


Regarding Boson, thankfully there's a dedicated web site for the product 
- though you can't purchase the product from there -but you can reach 
the developer and that's probably what I'll end up doing if I do 
encounter any issues.


No, I don't bother seeking refunds for $2 Apps either though for $30? 
Well we'll see, if its totally unusable then yep but if there are fixes 
that obviously can be dealt with? Well I'll think about it.

ls100 problem

2016-02-09 Thread Stephanie Mitchell 
Hi all,
I have decided to try and get my ls100 working and teach myself how to use it. 

Ok, I put some bateries in it, but accidently turned the voice guidance off. 
How do I turn it back on again? I tried removing the bateries but it made no 
difference.
Thanks.
Steph
