I would strongly recommend Abbyy FineReader. It is easy to use, gives excellent 
results and can handle up to 3 languages in one document.

Readiris Pro 12 is more expensive, difficult to install and register, has 
important settings that do not stick from one execution to the next and is 
distinctly buggy.

I have purchased both applications and feel that Readiris was a waste of money!

With both applications, it is often necessary to use another application for 
scanning since not all scanners are supported. I use VueScan to capture the 
images, but you can also use Image Capture.

Cheers,

Anne

RE: Virtualbox 3.1.4 released without VO working

2010-02-18 Thread Simon Fogarty
 So are you saying that virtual box is not useable?

I'm needing to set it up on a macbook pro with snow leopard and want to run
either / both windows xp and windows 7 pro  with jaws  and need to know how
usable virtual box is for me when it comes to vo accessibility.

Thanks for any help.

It was problematic before but now I can't even get to the window chrome 
or even VO-M to hit the menus. At least there is still the command-line 
interface but how did they stop VO in its tracks for standard UI elements?

Their bugfix log seems to not mention anything about VO one way or the 
other.

Hello Chris, I believe the problem is that  virtualbox relies very heavily
on the QT toolkit  which is an accessibility train reck  on multiple
platforms.  I know this is at least the case from my time working on
OpenSolaris and Linux.  They may be using a different toolkit on the Mac but
I don't think so.

Re: Virtualbox 3.1.4 released without VO working

2010-02-18 Thread Chris Blouch
There is a command line interface which lets you do everything you can 
do from the GUI, so it is 'accessible' but not so 'usable'. Better bet 
is probably to go buy VMWare which works well and is accessible (and 
cheap if you hunt for deals). I also just installed the latest updates 
to Parallels 4 and found the Jaws intercept driver still ruins the VM so 
you have to roll back to the last known good configuration. I haven't 
bothered with Parallels 5 since its track record with Jaws has been so bad.

Re: Removing files in iTunes

2010-02-18 Thread Nicolai Svendsen
Hi,

Well, though this topic has died down, and been nonexistent for weeks now, I 
thought I'd bring it up again.

This didn't even cross my mind at all. I got to thinking it last night, and 
decided to test my theory.

I tried the  following:

1. I went to one of the files having this problem. I had renamed it, so I 
changed it back.
2. When I renamed it, I forgot all about ASCII characters in that file. While 
the folder it had unzipped to had converted properly where the characters were 
concerned, the filename itself did not.
3. I renamed it again, putting "'" which is the ASCII for the apostrophe 
in the original name. Bam. That did the trick.

Now, my question is this. Does anyone know of a way to make Mac OS X show these 
characters properly? I hate seeing ' every time I see an apostrophe on 
these files, but if you get rid of the ASCII and replace it, it disables iTunes 
ability to change its settings.

Thanks in advance. I've been looking everywhere, but no luck.

To fill everyone in not wanting to read this thread from top to bottom, the 
problem is basically that I am unable to change settings such as "Remember 
playback position" in iTunes  after unzipping the file, nor am I able to remove 
it from my library. I found the solution, but I'd like to be able to display 
the ASCII characters properly.

I have also seen this issue on several websites, including edit fields.

Nic

 Hi,
 
 I could be wrong about this but, don't you have to designate the file 
 as an audiobook for iTunes to remember its place?
 
 And when you try to delete it, what playlist is it in? Music? a 
 regular playlist? Or, a smart playlist?

Hello Christina,

Yes, Abbyy FineReader reorients the page if you scan it upside down or 
sideways. It also gets the pages in the right order if you scan a double page 
at a time, which is what I like to do with books.

Cheers,

Does anyone know where to find the cool music which starts when you switch on your Mac for the first time?

2010-02-18 Thread James & Nash
Hi list, 

Does anyone know where to find the cool music which starts when you set up your 
Mac for the first time please? I am sure it is on here, but I just cannot seem 
to find it. I think I've looked in all the obvious places. 

Thanks for any help

Re: omitting images when opening a pdf

2010-02-18 Thread Kieren
Hi Yuma

I assume from your post that you are just opening these PDF files with
preview?
Preview is not that robust when it comes to malformed PDF files and I
have had some issues like your too.

I use Skim http://www.macupdate.com/info.php/id/24590/skim
which is pretty good and also is an electronic highlighter and sticky
note adder for pdf files, which is handy for reference material.

Problem PDF files can be fixed with Adobe Acrobat.  You might be able
to use the trial just to resave the document with the images reduced
in size.
I had to do this once with a large (over 1GB PDF) and it reduced the
total size back to ~200Mb which was still very readable even when
zoomed up.

PDFPenPro also has a trial but I cant remember if it watermarks each
page.

Re: Does anyone know where to find the cool music which starts when you switch on your Mac for the first time?

2010-02-18 Thread Nicolai Svendsen
Hi James,

I know. There is no way you would find it by searching with Spotlight, or 
whatever. It's darn hard to find if you don't do it like this otherwise. :)

1. Find your main hard drive, and open it up.
2. Find the folder called "System", and open it.
3. Find "Library".
4. Find "Core Services".
5. Find the application called "Setup Assistant."
6. Open the contextual menu on this application "VO-Shift-M" and hit enter or 
VO-space on "SHow package contents".
7. Now, instead of having to open the .bundle file and show its packaged 
contents, the easier way is simply to interact with the toolbar when in the 
Setup Assistants package contents, and search for mp3 in the toolbar item all 
the way to your right.
8. Make sure that the radio button "Setup  Assistant.app" is selected.
9. Now, here it is. You will see it in the list view if you VO-arrow to the 
table.

Nic
