Re: app for reading text files?

If on the Mac, TextEdit should be able to do this. If not, I use Emacs with Emacspeak. You can have it save your place in a file. If on iOS, VoiceDream reader is great for this, or you can convert them to ePub and use the Books app to read them. > On Dec 30, 2018, at 6:00 PM, Matt Turner wrote

The X is last year’s model, without the home button and TouchID. The X R is the cheapest new model from this year, without the home button and TouchID, which improves upon the design, with amazing day long battery life, faster FaceID, and a better processor. > On Jan 23, 2019, at 3:48 PM, Jessi

If people like text-based games, there a few sound packs for MUD’s which use Tintin++, the MUD client. > On Feb 7, 2019, at 6:14 AM, Oriol Gómez wrote: > > rs_games is sort of dead I think > as for accessible audiogames, you have games like Beatstar from Oriol > Góme (me) at www.oriolgomez.com

Re: Current text editors for Mac OS?

Well, there’s always Emacspeak, for Emacs. It works with the GUI version of Emacs even, so you just have to turn VoiceOver off and just use it. Or you can use TDSR, a terminal screen reader for the Mac that is miles ahead of VoiceOver. > On Mar 11, 2019, at 7:30 AM, 'Jason White' via MacVisionar

Re: I've decided what brailleDisplay to Choose.

Thanks so much. Visiting the HandyTech site itself, not the HIMS distributor, was a bit refreshing, although I do wish they had the manual in HTML format, with a link there from the product page like Freedom Scientific has. Oh, and that Applevis article is here

Re: Text Editors for Mac

I’m partial to Emacs, with Emacspeak of course, and Org-mode. Just write your file, ** Make headings ** make a list like this: - Unordered list item 1. Ordered item - Italics is made like /this/. - Bold is made like *this*. You can also just write Latex in it, and it’ll come out exported as Lat

You may also be able to share an RTF file to pages. Then, when you open a RTF file, it'll go to Pages. Sent from my iPhone > On Apr 30, 2019, at 10:48 AM, 'Donna Goodin' via MacVisionaries > wrote: > > Hi all, > > I've been following this thread, but until this morning haven't had much >

Re: OMG, I can't believe I fixed it!

Maybe that control in extras is app-specific, or even trickier, document-specific, and the one in System Preferences is for everything else. Could be useful, although you’d have to really be good at remember what you use where. > On Jul 4, 2018, at 9:47 AM, 'Donna Goodin' via MacVisionaries >

Re: Apple is reportedly doing away with free headphone jack dongles

Hopefully they give us EarPods, or cheaper, with the coming iPhone, then. Also, I hope they give us Dolby Atmos support, as Samsung has done, to really increase audio quality. > On Aug 5, 2018, at 2:41 PM, lenron brown wrote: > > That water resistant crap won't work on me. I have used Samsung

Re: Switching system voices

Press Command, Option, Control, right arrow until you here Voice, then press Command, Option, Control Down arrow until you hear the voice you want, and release the keys. When you want to switch back, use Command, Option, Control and the up or down arrow keys. > On Aug 24, 2018, at 1:37 PM, Phil
