Re: acapella voices

Guys, I went to Nuance.com and couldn't find any place where I could buy more voices. Where should I have gone? Also, where can I buy the a capella voices? Assistiveware.com? A Capella Group.com? Somewhere else? I'd be happy with just Samantha or Vicky that I had on PC, SAPI voices from AT&T,

go into the finder, into applications>utilities. Open the 'disk utility'. Find your hard drive in the table of disks. Move to the right and select the first aid tab. Then navigate to the repair permissions button. press that, wait for it to complete and all done. ash On 24/03/2011 22:07, Chris

I use DraftPad, or Plain Text, or Notesy. Draftpad is just what it sounds like, a scratchpad. You take down notes and can email them to yourself or someone else, tweet them, other things. PlainText and Notesy sync with your dropbox account. Notesy is my favorite. Jane On Mar 25, 2011, at

Hello Joseph, I'm afraid I've never used Windows so can't compare anything on the Mac to Windows. However, repairing permissions helps everything to run more smoothly so it's worth doing. Cheers, Anne On 25 Mar 2011, at 10:24, joseph wrote: > hi > > is this like disk scan on windows? > >

Ah yes, This is what I thought. You need to activate dropbox on your Mac. Unfortunately, dropbox broke the voiceover accessibility for this in their last update. You need sighted help to get dropbox up and running on your Mac. After that, you will have the dropbox folder in your Home folder
