An update on scanning software

[Matthew Campbell]

Hi all.
I've gotten this message from the developer of VueScan. This is a feature I'm 
sure some of you on here have put in a request fore. I my self requested 
auto-rotation of text back in 2008 [according to this message].
This is his response about this feature. I'm sure that this will make scanning 
a lot easier for some.
Hope this helps someone,
Matthew Campbell.

DVD to mp3

Sometime back I could see messages about getting MP3 audio off of DVDs. I did 
not have the need to do that when the messages came out but now I do what is 
the program that people have used that works well with voice over to strip the

Hi.
If I remember correctly, there is a trial. I'm not sure what the period of time

good old good old question, MBP or MBA

[Joanne Chua]

Hi all,

I guess by now some of you may have feel totally frustrated with me,
as i bringing this out every so often...
I'm about to get a mac laptop, in the next few days.
But i'm torn between MBP 13inch and MBA.
my question is, what Mac will be the best? Either the MBP13inch,
MBA13inch with 128GB, or MBA11Inch 128GB?
I know the spects for all these three are very similar, and i also
know that MBA will operate somewhat faster in live time compare to
MBP, more portable, etc. I also know that mbp is great for  post
processing, and heavy duty usage such as vedeo edditing etc etc.
As this will be the very first Mac notebook that i own, and coming
from the windows screen reader for laptop background, i'm interested
to know, if voiceover will slow any of the mbp or mba down from the
specs performance?
As my windows brain kick in, sort of telling me that the greater
processer, memory, will be better as far as screen reader is concern.

i'll mainly using it for studying e.g. research, browsing, word
processer etc purposes, however, i also uses it for audio edditing,
and basic photo edditing as well.

The size of the storage doesn't really effect me as much, however, who
would say no to a bigger size harddrive? The optical drive also not
the priority, as i have a 4 year old IMac sitting at home as my
desttop.

All of your advice is very much appreciated.

Thanks

Joanne

Upgrading a macbook pro from late 2010

[David Hole]

Hi folks.

Is it possible to upgrade a mbp from late 2010 with more ram and maybe
a ssd disk?
If so, is it worth doing it?

RE: good old good old question, MBP or MBA

[Missy Hoppe]

Well, my personal opinion is to go for the Macbook Pro. To me, it's just a more 
solid machine. I've had 1 for just about a
year now, and it's really growing on me. I looked at a macbook air at the Apple 
store, and just didn't like the feel of it.
If you're worried about speed, I understand that you could put an SSD into a 
macbook pro, but so far, I haven't found a
genuine need to do that. I guess it depends on what you're planning to do. 
Also, I think the macbook Pro has slightly better
sound, just based on my memories of looking at the air at the store, I was not 
impressed by its sound quality. I also like my
pro because it still has the CD/DVD drive as well as an sd card slot. I just 
think that for the money, the pro is the best
machine out there, but I'm sure others will provide opinions as well. Good luck 
with your purchase, and I hope this helps you
a little.
Missy

Re: good old good old question, MBP or MBA

[David Tanner]

Well, my only comments come from my experiences working on MBP 13s, and 
compaired to my MBP 15.6 which is almost 4 years old they aren't as fast, 
and can't be made run as fast because you can't get the faster processor for 
a 13 that you can with a 15 inch because of heat problems with the 13 inch.


I would really think about the limitations that the 13 inch give you due to 
heat problems that a 15 inch will not have.  And, if you look at the weight 
of the new MBP 15 inch it isn't that heavy at 14.46 pounds.  But, you get a 
lot faster processor and more memory expansion is possible later if you 
decide for any reason that you need it.


AS far as the MBA you are paying a much higher price for less memory and a 
processor that is still no place close to that of the new MBP 15.

Re: good old good old question, MBP or MBA

[Sarai Bucciarelli]

Hi:
At one time, I'd say the Pro; however with the new Air that just came out, 
along with the availability of iCloud, that choice is much more difficult. 
Google Macbook Pro S Macbook Air. There are some speck sheets floating around. 
I don't think they've updated the 13 inch pro yet. I'm suspecting a new Pro 
would come out in October. Based on everything you've told me, not counting 
finances, I'd get an air. VO isn't like Jaws. RAM isn't going to matter as much 
because the screen reader is a built-in application, not an addition.

Re: retrieving los password fot digit-eyes account so difficult

[Nancy M]

Hi William,

The problem with printing labels is fixed (yes, it was down after our 
server change). 

But it should now be working.

You can also correspond directly with us at the support address 
support@digit-eyes-com and we are more likely to see it sooner...

Cordially,
Nancy

Re: Upgrading a macbook pro from late 2010

[Ricardo Walker]

Hi,

Yes it is.  I upgraded the RAM, and put an SSD into my 2010 Macbook pro.  I 
also took out my optical drive and replaced it with the old rotating hard drive 
that came with my Mac.  The performance is great.

Re: good old good old question, MBP or MBA

[Ricardo Walker]

Hi,

not for nothing, in my opinion, the speed of the processor is often over rated. 
 either way,  Adding an SSD, and upgrading Ram, 9 times out of 10 will increase 
performance more than upgrading your processor.  It's also a less involved 
business.  And in regards to just upgrading your RAM, that's probably 4 times 
cheaper than upgrading a processor.  Unless we are talking about going from a 
stock 13 inch MBP to a quad core new 15 inch MBP with the fancy new display, 
the processor in the 13 inch is plenty fast for what the majority of people 
want to do.

Re: good old good old question, MBP or MBA

[Ricardo Walker]

Hi,

there are new 13 inch MBPs.  They updated all their Mac books last week.  The 
SSD is the real game changer here.  although you are giving up storage space 
with an MBA, most won't notice nor care about the lesser processor found in the 
MBA.  Not unless your doing something resource intensive task that just demands 
a more powerful processor and more RAM than you can get in a MBA.  And if this 
is the case, you probably need a 15 inch MBP or an iMac anyway.

JMO.

Re: Upgrading a macbook pro from late 2010

[Ricardo Walker]

Hi,

If you feel comfortable working inside a notebook computer, or any computer for 
that matter, you can do it yourself.  I don't even think the Apple store will 
do such an upgrade like puttin in a new SSD in a Macbook pro.

Re: good old good old question, MBP or MBA

[Neil Barnfather - TalkNav]

Joanne,

As I write to you, I'm using a brand new iMac, 3.4Ghz i7 quad core processor, 
16Gb RAM, enhanced graphics card, 256Gb SSD and 2Tb SATA drive. This is as 
loaded as you can make an iMac, it cannot be speced any higher. In contrast, I 
have an 11in MBA for use when at the office or out and about, or, even for when 
just sitting in the sitting room at home. My 11in MBA is an 1.8 i7 dual core 
processor, 4Gb RAM and a 128Gb SSD. At the time of ordering it, July last year, 
it was the most spec you could put on an MBA 11in.

In terms of Voice Over performance I find no difference in either machine, so, 
with one machine seemingly to be, on face value, massively over powered 
compared to its portable counter part, I can honestly tell you that I have no 
discernible differences perceivable to myself even during heavy usage.

I will very often have Safari up with 5 to 8 tabs open, Pages with 3 or so docs 
on the go, Mail with 6 accounts syncing every minute, Numbers with 2 or so 
spreadsheets open, and iTunes to boot. None of this slows the MBA down and I am 
ever constantly impressed with its capabilities.

Now, you mention audio editing, it really depends on what you mean by that, 
picture editing, on an iPhoto level will be fine, I even have sighted people 
use Aperture on my MBA without issue. However, if you mean PhotoShop level  of 
image manipulation at the intense end of reasonable, then you may, and only 
may, find the MBA under powered. But, I would ask myself very carefully how 
much image editing you really do.

Otherwise, the MBA 11in is the machine if you are ever going to be carrying it 
about, the keyboard is not compromised in terms of physical key size, bar the F 
row, which face it, is used less often anyhow.

I, in case you are wondering, have my iMac pumped up to the max, as a family 
friend edits together all my high end digital photography and home movies at 
full HD and as such, the power makes it more easy to do so.

hope that this helps you.


Regards,

Neil Barnfather
