hello guys.
I'm wandering if anyone of you knows an accessible application under MacOSX
that allows easy selecting, copyng and cutting of a video MP4 file. I was
trying MPEG Streamclip, but it freezes to much.
Any suggestion?
Thanks in advance.

Hi, Christina,
Can you give an example of a mispronounced word? Are only parts of words being

Good afternoon all.

It is another one of these Braille keyboard apps, with some unique
features, such as Contracted Braille support, which may attract some of
you. Another unique feature is tutorial mode, so you can get used to how

iMovie works fine for this. I wrote out alot of information on how to select
and edit video in iMovie a while back. The info is available on Mike
Malarsie's website

search for either iMovie, or myname "phil halton". The name would probably

I know exactly what you mean since back in 2010 I was determined I was not

Good luck with your choice.
