Hi Gigi, Thanks for that. I downloaded the trial from their website. I tried reading a PDF I know has been made into an editable/fillable form with screen readers in mind. It works with JAWS on Windows and I believe it was probably created with Adobe software. In PDFPen VoiceOver could see and

Possible cause of Mac's sluggishness: coreaudiod

2014-01-14 Thread Alex Hall
Hi all, I may have found the cause of my Mac's problems: the coreaudiod process is taking 30 to 35 percent CPU, and over 2.5gb of virtual memory (185mb of real memory). I have things piped through Soundflower, but that shouldn't matter, should it? I can't kill the process to see if that helps, o

They did something very silly like that. I've just done a quick search though and I can't find it. It seems they took down their blog. Of course it's still in the list archives from some time in 2010 I think, but I can't get a search of the archives to work either. Best, Erik Burggraaf Ebony

Yes, but lots of people already own Office. Not saying this solution is as good as that of the Mac, but I do believe that the more options we have, the better. I work with students who couldn't shift from Windows if they tried. I'm glad that there's now an option available to them that doesn'

I suspect that this is just the opening salvo in the end of the Window screen reader war. I suspect we will see WindowEye become the built in screen reader of Windows and with that JAWS and the other will die on the vine as it were. No one is going to pay for a screen reader if they get one for

Hi there Did you download the pro version of PDF pen? I just realized that that may be the difference. I have the pro version on my computer. When I did the 1040, I was not having those problems. If you want, can you send me the file off list and I'll see if I can make it work. Regards, Gigi Se
