Hi. There are a3 scanners on the market, epson used to have some. I have an rather old one here, but unfortunately it is very slow on the mac, and it is not in all cases an advantage. Best regards Annie. Den 30/04/2014 kl. 21.53 skrev Andrew Lamanche : > Thank you, Cheryl for this. When you s

Re: Best scanners for text scanning

Hi Sandi. In fact you can use the mac and vuescan. The only thing I would say is that I seem to have some problems to get really good scannings with vuescan. I think I have been working with every single setting. Often page numbers are missing when using vuescan, that is no problem directly in

Re: Best scanners for text scanning

I'm not contradicting anybody else's experience but I have gotten excellent scans with vuescan. It is my experience that page numbers can possibly be missing no matter what method you use though this has not happened to me as a rule with vuescan. But then I usually take my books apart because no

Thanks both Tim and Deb (think that's it). I was definitely hoping for something as seamless as Dropbox. I'll give Insync a go, but I'm guessing from what Tim said that it might only work if the documents are in my Drive, and the documents I'm interested in were shared with me by someone else s

Re: Combining 2 tracks

Right, but first you have to install sox. So if the files are already on your desktop you could just do cd ~/Desktop first and then run the command to combine the files. Sox can do full audio manipulation all through the command line. CB On 4/30/14, 7:30 PM, Traci Duncan wrote: Interesting

Re: app for old real audio files

I thought .ram files were just pointers to the actual media files with various settings like playlist or looping. So any tool would need to download the source files first that are pointed to by the .ram file. Do these .ram files still work since they might point to servers that are long gone.
