Dragon Dictation

Just a word of warning to those who use Dragon Dictation on their iPhones. Don't get the new update. The menu that will let you sms, email and do other things is now completely inaccessible. If you cut and paste from the keyboard function, that still works, but otherwise, it's broken. Friendly,

Hi Jason, I can at least give you an answer for your first question. I use VLC media player. It can handle winamp playlists, and it can also be set as your default media application. It works very well, and is quite accessible. There are a few check boxes that aren't labeled, but one's an EQ, one

Personally, I use Hulu and other sites to watch the tv shows I like. It works well enough for my taste. I've already made the switch. I also use a program called Rip it to change my dvds into mp4 files. They work wherever I need them on the mac or iPhone. Friendly, Chris On Nov 13, 2010, at 9:

Hopefully, the Library of Congress won't be far behind. I've heard that they don't want to allow a reader to be made for the iPhone simply because they're afraid of their encryption being broken. My response to that is it would be just as simple to install a decryption key in the App that is un

Another interesting issue with our dear Alex is that he will pronounce certain words one way while reading via the VO-A command versus when you interact with text and read it word by word or line by line. Friendly, Chris On Nov 30, 2010, at 7:59 PM, Teresa Cochran wrote: > I notice this mostly

moving songs within playlists

Hi folks, Sometimes, I like to rearrange my playlists, but thus far the only way I have found to do this in iTunes is to export the playlist as an rtf file, then cut and paste things where I want them, then save it, and import the playlist to take the place of the original. Is there an easier wa
