Problems in dictation

[muhammad babar Shahzad]

Hi,
Thanks for the suggestions about learning pages.
I have problem with using the dictation on my MacBook Pro 16 with the latest 
updates of the os.
I am able to dictate the text for a short time and it only lets me dictate few 
words. Afterwards, no matter whatever I try to dictate, I only see ‘yes’. I 
have switched off the dictation but, the issue gets resolved temporarily. I 
have also decreased the volume of the internal microphone.
Any leads for addressing this problem please?
Thanks in advance.
Muhammad.

Re: Apple mail

The Apple magic keyboards are a good choice. There are two models, a large one 
and a small one. Small one has the same layout as a MacBook laptop. You should 
feel very  familiar  with that one.

Hi!
Not sure as I guess most of you live in USA.
In Sweden we have something called BankId which apparently can be installed on

Re: Electronic Signing

[Karen Lewellen]

One alternative that may work in some situations is to ask  the individual 
or institution seeking our signature if an electronic statement will work. 
Something like,
My name is  daffy  duck, and this email line constitutes my signature 
provided on  said date.
Rather a few governmental institutions in Ontario are  starting to allow 
this, especially if there may be an issue with a proper signature.

Best,
Kare

Photos App on Mac OS and Voiceover

[Pete De Vasto]

Hi all,

I bit the bullet and did the upgrade to Catalina yesterday. So far, the move 
has been very successful. I’m still learning about some of the new and 
different features, but up to now I’ve been able to do everything I used to do 
on Mojave just fine.

I do have a number of photos and movies on my iPhone, and started to look into 
using the Photos app so I can store them on my Mac, but it’s not coming all 
that easy. So, I was wondering if anyone has done much with the Photos app, and 
are there any settings I might be able to tweak so it works better with VO? 
It’s hard to do Google searches, because everywhere I’ve landed on so far talks 
about doing voice overs in movies!

Thanks for any ideas,
Pete De Vasto

Re: Apple mail

[Brad Snyder]

Some people like the full-size keyboard with extended keys and Number-pad, and 
some prefer the smaller size keyboard like on a MacBook.
Personally, I like the full size keyboard because I hate not having a Number 
pad.  It is really a personal choice.

Time for a new Mac

[Steve Matzura]

My 2012 Mac Mini is nearing the end of its natural life. It's already 
not possible to upgrade to Big Sur, but more than that, it now runs 
quite hot and acts squirelly after an hour or so of just sitting there 
doing nothing, then when I give it something to do, it really starts 
acting like a person would act who has a high temperature--gets 
sluggish, misses keystrokes, takes way too long to do things that took 
mere minutes, etc. Sometimes VoiceOver lags in both speech output and 
navigation ... it's time to think about a replacement.



So, what's your recommendation? I'd prefer a Mini, but an all-in-one 
would be a fine second choice because it has a screen after all. I 
really do not want a MacBook because I just don't have the horizontal 
real-estate anywhere for anything even that small, which is why a 
stand-up all-in-one like an iMac something would be far superior physically.



What do I use a Mac for? Not much other than Zoom, Pro Tools with 
Komplete Kontrol, and occasionally Reaper, plus the usual handful of 
native applications like Messages, Pages, Keynote, TextEdit, Calendar, 
and a few others.



If I'm going to spend Mac money, it's got to be spent on something 
that'll last me at least another six or seven years--up to the last 
operating system version the system will allow--so I'd prefer to buy 
something new even though it's big money rather than buy something a few 
years older that'll only last me four more years or les.



Since nobody really knows much about the new M1 processor and how it 
behaves with VoiceOver, not to mention music applications like Pro Tools 
and Reaper, I'm hesitant to get one of those, but wow do they sound 
tempting and sw'w'w'weet!



So, with those two things bracketing my choices--something new but maybe 
not cutting-edge versus something a few years old that won't last the 
full seven-year cycle, what are your thoughts?

Re: Time for a new Mac

[Brad Snyder]

I recently replaced my 2012 Mac mini.  It was exhibiting the same behavior as 
yours, running hot when it had just been sitting doing presumably nothing, and 
taking a long time to load applications or boot up.
I replaced the old Mac mini with a new Mac mini, and have been very happy with 
it.
My new mini has the i7 processor, with an excessive amount of RAM, and I went 
with the 2TB SSD.  The performance is awesome, and I am very happy with it.  I 
think it will serve me well for a long time.
While Apple has introduced a Mac mini with the M1 processor, they still offer 
the Intel minis, both the i5 and i7 models, minus the low-end i3 configuration, 
at the same prices as before Tuesday’s introduction of the M1 models.
If you have been happy with your previous mini, this could be a good option for 
you to consider.

Re: Time for a new Mac

[Steve Matzura]

Thanks, Brad.


When I looked at Mini's jut now, I did not see the i7 
configuration--only the i5, but that shiny zippy new M1 chip 
configuration was just so enticing, well, I just had to go for it--the 
whole thing--full memory and full storage, and it wasn't much more 
expensive than the 2012 Mini was, which surprised me. . I am now 
over-the-top excited about getting it just a few days after my birthday. 
I got all the interface cables for Thunderbolt and USB thiks-and-that, 
too. The only thing I didn't see available was a network adapter or 
interface for ethernet because I'd much prefer a wired Internet 
connection than a wireless one even though the machine will only bee a 
few feet from the home router. I know there are, or may be, some issues 
regarding Big Sur with Pro Tools, Reaper and Komplete Kontrol, not to 
mention a few other third-party plugins and virtual software 
instruments, but I'm hopeful they'll be solved by Christmas time. Since 
the machine isn't coming until almost then anyway, I'm not particularly 
concerned about them, if they do exist.
