Christine: I have no idea what's going on here, exactly. I've never seen an issue like this before. However, I'd suspect the issue is primarily an iPhone issue. That's where I'd start with for repairs, at least. I would take the mac with you to the appointment, just so if they need to test

Hi all: I had to take my mac in recently for a genius bar appointment. It was necessary to erase my computer and start from scratch. I had a time machine backup, so I thought all was good. I was wrong!! Most things came over perfectly fine, except some random voiceover settings. Whenever I ar

I like Eloquence well enough, but I would not want it on my mac or iPhone, ever I don’t think. For me, Eloquence is windows, Alex is Mac. Since I do boot into a virtual machine for mudding and the like, I enjoy having my 2 environments with different voices. DFTBA! John D. Lipsey mail

Congratulations on that, I guess. As much as I enjoy free information, I’m going to go buy a copy of the book sometime before this week is out. Finding the time to sit down and delve into it is going to be the tricky part. DFTBA! John D. Lipsey mail: johnl1...@gmail.com Twitter: @J_TGL

Joseph, How did you get Surf Shark to work accessibly on your Mac? As I recall, when I tried it back in May or June, it was not a great accessible experience. Or maybe I'm just missing something? Thanks in advance for any help/advice. -John > On Oct 27, 2023, at 22:17, joseph hodge wrote: > > I
