Re: skype and file transfers
Hi Will. If you interact with the file transfer and let Voiceover read all the information, it should read the file name, file transfer and the file size. It shows all the file transfers you've done in this window, so you have to move to the last transfer, interact and read it.

help with iTunes
Hi list, I no that operating iTunes has been discussed in the not-too- distant past, so could someone help me off-list? I need to know how to find the album that I just downloaded (I don't see it downloading and don't know where it's going), and how to access the code for a gift certificate that I've already registered on my account.

Re: Hey
OK, firstly and foremost: 1. Have you tried power cycling the modem and the router? Here's how to properly do it: 1A. Unplug the power cord from the back of the router. (I mean the electrical cord.) 1B. Unplug the electrical power cord from the back of the modem. If this is a digital phone based modem with battery backup, be sure to also remove the battery, as just unplugging it will have no effect. 1C. Wait about 2 minutes, then plug the modem back in first. It's very important you do it in this order. 1D. Wait about a minute to a minute and a half, at most, then plug in the router. Now reboot the Mac and see if the airport card works. 2. You made mention that in Safari she cannot access web pages very quickly. This could possibly, no guarantee, but possibly be due to the dns cache resolver needing to be flushed. I am more of a Windows trained specialest, however, I do own an older Mac running Tiger, so I do know some things. If you would like, I'd be happy to research for you how to do this with a Mac. 3. Has your friend tried connecting to any other programs that use internet access to function? IE: The ITunes Store, Or maybe, if he/she uses it, perhaps IChat, or Adium/Fire, etc? Do they work? 4. I don't know what model Mac your friend has, but if it's easy enough to remove the airport card, try removing it, while the Mac is powered off. Then, re-insert it, and boot the system. See if that works. 5. If this is a Macbook or Macbook Pro, does it work if he/she;'s not right by the router, and is plugged into the wall with the electrical cord/charger? I know that sounds like a stupid question, but it's really not. If the battery is the issue, it could be possible that the battery is not giving her notebook enough power vultage to power the airport card, plus the notebook. It's real far fetched, and probably 99.9 with a bar over it percent chance not the case, but I cannot as a tech support rep rule it out. I'm just trying to trouble shoot every little thing possible. 6. Is your friend even seeing his/her wireless network SSID when they do vo+shift+M on the airport icon? 7. If not, it's possible they may not be doing a self-broadcast with her SSID. Some routers actually allow you to shut this off, where the network must manually be configured, so you may want to plug the notebook in hard-wired, then log into the router, and check. We can help you with that if you need us to. 8. If this fails, make sure no firewall is blocking the wireless ports. I know that this again is unlikely, but remember, just cause he/she doesn't have a firewall on the Macintosh itself, doesn't mean there isn't one built in the router. If you tell us what type router your friend has, and can even go as far as to provide us the model, that will go a long ways to us helping. 9. If all else fails, call Apple for further help. 1-800-MyApple: Or in other words: 1-800-692-7753 >From the main menu, hit option 3. 10. If they can't help, then, you may wind up having to get a new card, regretfully. Another thing you can try is to disable the wireless airprot, wait about five minutes, then re-enable it. That should refresh the card. If you need any help what so ever with any of the above steps, don't hesitate to let us know. Our address and phone number are at the bottom of this e-mail.

details on Voiceover for iPod Shuffle?
Hi Has anyone found information about exactly how Voiceover on the iPod Shuffle works? Does iTunes still generate the speech, or is the capability built in to the shuffle itself? The sample voices remind me of Babel Technologies diphone voices (the HD voices in Infovox iVox for those who have that) though not exactly the same. If the accessibility is actually built into the Shuffle itself rather than generated by iTunes it would be a nice advancement. But if not, where does iTunes get these voices? Are they generated server-side, downloaded locally, something else? The major difference between a thing that might go wrong and a thing that cannot possibly go wrong is that when a thing that cannot possibly go wrong goes wrong it usually turns out to be impossible to get at or repair. --Douglas Adams --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "MacVisionaries" group.

Re: VoiceOver doing the deep six
I'm using an intel machine here, and sometimes i find after my mac has been up for a ong time, like over a week or so, that Voiceover will do this. Not sure why. Just upgraded the ram in this iMac, so we'll see if that makes a difference. On Mar 13, 2009, at 12:03 AM, Greg Williams wrote: I have had a similar issue; I'm not sure exactly when it started. Occasionally after my macbook wakes up voiceover will not respond and command f5 will not work either.

In a couple of instances I was able to use the "force quit" dialog to cause finder to relaunch, and this seems to fix the problem although I have no explanation for why.

on topic facebook question
Hello Group; Recently, a very good friend of mine asked me why i wasn't promoting my business on facebook. I told them I had had so much trouble figuring out myspace that I hadn't tried. So, I signed up, and I'm starting to get addicted. My question is has any one found out how accessible their widget, gagets, or applications are. Whatever you call them, can we use them. Like there is a calendar program, a poker program, and a baseball thingie that sound interesting; but I was wondering if anyone else out there has much experience with facebook and its many options. I hope to hear from some of you soon.

Re: details on Voiceover for iPod Shuffle?
But that's just it, perhaps it does for your default voice. But from where are these other languages generated? I don't seem to have those as Voiceover voices, and yet the iPod shuffle apparently will be able to render the titles of my German songs correctly.

Re: details on Voiceover for iPod Shuffle?
This is good clarification. I had no idea how Alex was going to speak other languages. It would be nice to see apple incorperate this new synthesized speech into their operating system particularly in the installation of the OS so that non-english speaking blinks can set up their computers too.

And more importantly: being I run ITunes on a Windows machine, can I have it use those same voices on my Nano 4th gen, or will it fall back on my default Sapi5 voice. Chris.

That's what I thought too, but, by the sounds of it, it sounds as if people are finding that it uses another voice than what the primary voice is set up as. Chris.

Recording text to speech in non-English languages with Automator [was Re: visio voice]
Hi Anne and Will, It's also possible to create an mp3 or aac track (including text that you want spoken in a Foreign language) if you do not have VisioVoice or GhostReader, but have one of the Infovox iVox voices by using Automator. For example, I just tried using the Automator workflow, downloadable from the examples of Automator for Leopard at: http://automator.us/leopard/examples/ex07/index.html to put an AAC track of Chekhov's story "Lady with a Lapdog" into my iTunes library using the new Russian Infovox iVox voice. Open the workflow (in Automator). Change the default voice from Alex to your selected (foreign language) voice before you run the workflow. 1. In Automator, VO-right arrow to the workflow, where you hear "Save Clipboard as Spoken iTunes Track workflow" and interact (VO-Shift Down arrow) 2. Navigate (VO-down arrow) to the "Text to Audio File" action and interact (VO-Shift Down arrow). 3. Navigate (VO-right arrow) to the popup button following "System Voice"; press (VO-Space) and change the voice from Alex to your selected voice to use for text to speech in this action (e.g. Julie for French, Alyona for Russian, etc.) by typing the first letters of the name or by using the arrow keys and press return. There's a "Play" button if you VO-right past the system voice popup that allows you to sample the voice, but you'll have to turn off VoiceOver if you want to listen to the sample. 4. Optionally, navigate (VO-right arrow) to the text box to name the audio file (default is set to "Spoken Text"), and also change the folder in which it is created/saved. At this point I switched apps (Command-Tab) to my TextEdit file. (You can also stop interacting, VO-Down Arrow to the next "Import Audio Files" action, interact, and VO-right arrow to change the popup button for the used format from "AAC encoder" to "MP3 encoder". And you can stop interacting, VO-Down Arrow to the final action, "Add Songs to Playlist", interact, and change the playlist from a new playlist named "Spoken Text", to an existing playlist with a name you specify.) I copied the text to my clipboard (Command-A then Command-C) and used the Command-R "run" command in Automator on the downloaded workflow. I was also able to make the text record at faster speed by pasting the rate command: [[rate 300]] at the beginning of the TextEdit file (in Cyrillic letters for Russian) before I copied it to my clipboard. For more details on how to use the Automator workflow, and how to modify it (including getting contents directly from a TextEdit file rather than the clipboard), see my earlier post: http://www.mail-archive.com/macvisionaries%40googlegroups.com/msg00417.html (Notice: archiving of this list at the secondary archive (Mail Archive) site has been started again, since February 28, 2009.

Re: details on Voiceover for iPod Shuffle?
If you guys would look at that URL that was posted you would know that the voice that sounds like a robot is actually part of the voiceover component in iTunes itself and unless you are using a mac, it will revert to that voice. There was no mention of it reverting to your default voice of selection on the mac, just to alex. "Don't worry about the world coming to an end today. It's already tomorrow in Australia."

Recording documents using VoiceOver
Hi everyone: Is there a way to have VoiceOver read long documents and save them in MP3 format? Something similar to how the voiceover tutorials are recorded using the VoiceOver Voice.

Re: Recording documents using VoiceOver
Hi Voiceover itself can't do this, but you can use the system voices to accomplish it in conjunction with Automater. You would set up an Automater workflow to get all text in the current document, then text to audio file, then import to iTunes with the mp3 encoder. Once this workflow is set up, you can load the document you wish spoken into Textedit and run the workflow. hth On Mar 13, 2009, at 22:51, Kamal Haffar wrote: > > Hi everyone: > > Is there a way to have VoiceOver read long documents and save them in > MP3 format?
