Hello Nektarios,

answer your questions.

icon, use VO-right or left arrows to cycle through the icons. Battery

I knew about option+t for time, option+m for mail, option+s for Safari,
etc, but I didn't think to check in commanders in VoiceOver utility if I
missed something. So, now I have that working as well.

should see that as an external harddrive or CD/DVD, if you use

Hello Sharon,
I know two people that got a Pearl and sent it back. Like a flatbed
scanner it seems to not like anything that wasn't completely flat and
consequently screwed up the OCR proces into unreadable gook. Getting the
orientation right for scanning seemed to be another issue for them.
Before I'm going to give my impression of my MacBook Pro, the OS and of
course VoiceOver gathered over almost two weeks, let me introduce
myself. I know I've posted already to some topics, but I just haven't
really said anything about myself and I figure it's time to rectify
that. For those who
No podcast coming from this corner. I think the Mac-related ones out
there have things covered pretty well. At one point I may write a few
articles in Dutch about Mac and VoiceOver though, because it doesn't
seem that popular here, which I think has more to do with people not
being informed abo
I have a couple of friends that use the Zoom H2, which can record
straight to MP3. The default I believe is wav files, but that's
adjustable. You may need sighted assistance for the initial setting of

I'm not very familiar with the MBox mini. What I could quickly find is
that it has a mic and an instrument input and that's it as far as inputs
go. This is enough for personal recording, but if you want to record
multiple instruments at the same time this may be a bit too limited.

There are multiple options for hooking up an electric. too many for me

A jack-to-minijack plug would work, but most instruments need a PreAmp
to boost the volume to reasonable levels. Though with a jack-to-minijack
you could hook up an amp to the mac pretty easily, but you will lose
instant monitoring if your amp doesn't have more than one output. Aside
from that,
I think it must be accessible. I keep hearing some friends go on about
it and among them is at least one VoiceOver user. I was planning on
taking a look at it at one point myself.

Pretty nice. I had to struggle with it for a bit to get it working
properly, but now it does and I like it. On general principals I don't
want websites to bother me with flash, but having the option to play the
flash that was hidden before, is a definite plus IMO.

I have that one unchecked. I think when I had that checked earlier, I
visited a blog page and it played all the videos on there (6 or 7 at
least) at the same time, which was a mess.

Hi,
I was just familiarizing myself with Itunes and I was wondering about
the following. Let's say I have an album with 16 tracks, but I only want
to listen to two of these tracks. How do I go about deselecting the
other tracks after I have selected them? I think it would get rather
annoying
Ah, I didn't think of the context menu., but that works quite well. At
least it makes it faster to get to the actual listening and enjoying bit.

I'm grabbing it right now, though I had to go to Apple menu, then
software updates to make it work. From within Itunes it told me there
was a file it couldn't find. Good thing there are multiple ways to get

Hello,
I just grabbed the Dutch voices for the 30 day trial, but after
installing them they don't show up in voiceOver utility or in the speech
settings. Am I missing something, because the isntallation was
successful or is this a limitation of the trial period?
Thanks, Ruud

I was messing around with this a week or so ago and I didn't have too
much difficulty with it when I used the key activated speech commands.
Obviously I could only do that when VoiceOver wasn't rattling on about

As far as I'm aware the radio bit only works when you have the
headphones/earbuds in as it uses those as a receiver. It's all a matter
of what you want to do with it in the end, if it has a camera that's
cool, but for skype you'd definitely need a built-in mic or have the
