Hi,
Thank you all. Although the thread is being pushed and pulled in all
directions, my final conclusion is that eSpeak can indeed not be used
with VoiceOver as it currently stands. I'll contact Jonathon and see if
it can be done. What I had hoped to glean through this thread (which was

There is a program called braille blaster. You can Google it. But it doesn't
include drivers, so my guess is, it's not going to work well. Good luck.

It does, but the software you are looking for is called echo mac. It does not
have a curtacy tone at all, so be aware of that. I can never hear when people
finish transmitting and when it's ok to key up using echo mac.
Take care and 73.

No, but there is an app called Echo Mac which basically is Echolink for what
it's worth. I have a friend who is licensed (KB5VAO) who uses it fairly often.
His name is David Erich, from Lubbock TX. You can probably look him up on QRZ.

Hello all. I am going to be getting a new macbook air this week. I had a
macbook pro that bit the dust. I do know how to set it up but I wanted
to know if it was possible to use a time machine back up from the old

better to star
Andy,
Be on the look out. I just privately sent you the link to Skype's installer
for the Mac. The link will expire in 7 days.

Hi,
The Skype app isn't in the store, you have to go to Skype's website
and get it from there.
On the subject of searching for things in the app store, the way I do
this is go to the toolbar and interact with it, somewhere in there
there's a search box…I just press enter when I've finished typing
Hi all,
Does anyone have experience with this sheet feed scanner? It has proprietary
software that runs on the Mac as well as coming with a version of fine reader.
You have to be able to use the proprietary software, so I'm wondering about

Chris - Where do I get the SkypeMac app? I've looked in the Mac store, and
couldn't find a Skype app. Incidentally, do you have any tips for doing a quick
search in the App store? It's easy on the phone, but from the Mac, there isn't
even a text box for search terms -

It's very accessible. The one thing I did was to set lots of the
notifications to speak and you can do that in the skype preferences.
This will allow the program to tell you things such as when people sign
in and out and when you get messages.

Andy, I tell you what, Skype is about as accessible as you can get on
the mac. You can even configure Skype to use the system voice to
announce various events. I suggest you check out the preferences with
the usual keystroke, command comma.
