yes. there are quite a few of those. They are not audio books, they are PdF and ePub books. On 27 Oct 2012, at 04:43, Glenn wrote: Hi, Are the "take control" titles for the IOS devices? I'm looking for an audio book for a friend who just got an iPhone 4S, and needs to know how to use it. Thank

Hi, Desi, Sorry it's taken me so long to get back. As long as you have iCould enabled on all devices, when you add or delete a contact from 1 device, it should add or delete from everywhere. I've been working on my contacts list as well, deleting duplicates which probably got there at the beg

I really don't see the problem. All she needs to use is something like VisioVoice from AssistiveWAre and the problem is solved. But its horses for courses. We all have to remember that the world doesn't revolve around blind people, we have to adapt, be innovative. That isn't a criticism, just

Hi all Anybody know how yo configure NiceCast as a "Shoutcast" server? I thought I'd seen it somewhere that you could do it that way. But if I did, I'm not seeing it now. Also, is there an easy way of encoding a live stream and sending it to a server using OS X? If so, could somebody give m

She can hardly use the phone yet. I showed her how to lock the screen, and unlock it, and use the home key for making calls, and how to answer and hang up a call. She is having problems with all that, and she needs some sort of a podcast that I can text to her, and hopefully if she cannot open it

I think you can set up the default server that way, but if you have another shout cast server then add the server and choose shout cast and enter in the password given to you by the person. In looking at the main server I don't see a way to set it up as such but I could also be missing somethi

Hi Glen OK, here's a possibility then. If she were to buy a Take Control book, I could probably use VisioVoice in order to create a spoken version of the book. Is that worth investigating? There is always the HTML user guides to which Esther pointed the group recently, (see the archive for h

You can, but the main server has no choice of shout cast and dice cast. it just works. but to set up a shout cast server add a server in the drawer then follow the prompts after selecting that radio button. On Oct 27, 2012, at 3:55 PM, Gordon Smith wrote: > I think you can set up the server by
