Re: DBT on the Mac

Hi, Thanks I did a fresh install of DBT yesterday and then set up index a new with the latest drivers downloaded from index - it is so odd - it seems to just crash sort of randomly sometimes I get as far as emboss before it crashes but other times it does it if I click on a menu option so I had

Microsoft Teams

Hi all Has anyone got any advice for using Microsoft Teams with VO? I only know one other VO user who has experience of this and they couldn’t get it to work at all. I just downloaded the app and it’s directing me to use Skype instead. I wouldn’t bother with it, but, ironically, it’s for a me

Hi Julie, I’ve had excellent experience with Duxbury tech support. Don Breda has been very helpful to me over the years. I would suggest you give them a call. Best, Donna Sent from my iPad > On Jun 19, 2020, at 2:51 AM, Julie Rattray wrote: > > Hi, > > Thanks I did a fresh install of DBT ye

Re: Microsoft Teams

Hi, I use it and can try to help - the first thing I would say is that the desktop version is really not that accessible if you have an iPad though it is much easier to use and actually works well. If you got a calendar invite for the meeting then you can click the join button in the invite an

Re: DBT on the Mac

Thanks donna I am based in the uk and couldn’t find a number to call - I have sent a web form support request and am hoping they get back to me as it is driving me nuts - I have used it very successfully on my machine running Mohavi but just when I try to put it on my newer machine with Catalina

Re: DBT on the Mac

Hi Julie, I remembered that you are in the UK right after I sent my message. Sorry! I wish I could be of more help, but I’ve only used Duxbury on the PC. I can tell you, though, that the Index—an Everest-D in my case, is incredibly fiddly. I have to call DB tech support every time I’ve had to s

The problem was that for some reason DB didn’t close and interfered with anything I tried to do. Finally, I was able to close it, so I don’t need to uninstall it. Thanks for the info. Rena From: 'Gary Price' via MacVisionaries Sent: Thursday, June 18, 2020 7:28 AM To: macvisionar

Re: Microsoft Teams

hi, I totally agree with Julie on this one. When using it on the Mac, it seems quite clunky and awkward from a VO prospective. Not impossible, just somewhat frustrating. I’ve been messing around in the Admin Console of our Office domain, and Safari was going busy quite often. This was no sl

Re: Microsoft Teams

I have been using Microsoft Teams with my iPhone for several months now and find it to be quite accessible. I don’t like the chat feature as there are a lot of extra items I don’t need, but the calling feature is quite straight forward. The Windows desktop version is a tougher beast to tame, s

I used to use the Kindle plug-in for windows a few years back and it was pretty clunky then although it did work to some extent. I don’t bother with Kindle on the Mac. It can be OK on the iPhone, but you still can’t read with granularity like word by word on the iPhone Kindle app. Sent from my

You can also use the zip and unzip commands in the terminal. I just checked, and they appear to be part of the Mac OS operating system (in /usr/bin). From: Macvisionaries Reply-To: Macvisionaries Date: Friday, June 19, 2020 at 11:36 To: Macvisionaries Subject: Re: How to zip file on a mac

Just a quick cautionary note. I have seen what Zillo lists for houses I have bought and sold, and their data is often not very accurate. Not saying don't use them, just be very careful. Cheers, Donna > On Jun 19, 2020, at 8:21 PM, M. Taylor wrote: > > Hello Everyone, > > Because this is a pub
