Hi Samuel, about K1000, I don't know what it is exactly but I think it's something to ocr text? , convert text to mp3 baseically. To ocr text or a image, you have abby finereader express on the mac (not very advanced , only 70 euro) but it scans books for me. You have also readers as alternative ocr-software but I think it's more expensive and I am not sure if it's better then abby finereader express.
With itunes you can convert text into mp3 or another format with itunes. It's easy , fast and, if you have the right voice for the specific language, it's free (Itunes is included in the mac for free). I don't know if you want also some other features of K1000 on your mac but for that, you should specify further. About your internet problems: I agree with you that safari isn't the best browser for all kind of websites and, on my situation here, I agree also that safari is sometimes very slow. Unfortunately: safari is nearly the onlyone browser that is good accessible. Opera is accessible in some situations and firefox isn't accessible at all at this moment. Hope this helps, best regards, William Op 29-jul-2010, om 02:13 heeft Samuel het volgende geschreven: > I have a state-issue pc running windows 7, but I switched to the mac > this January so I could stop worrying about upgrading jaws, but I > can't seem to get away from windows completely.
