Hey thanks murray! Great tip. I was wondering if double tapping was supported in OSX.
I’ve been making myself at home on the MacBook. Setting RSS feeds in Safari and downloading essential programs, at least essential for me anyways; ViM, Firefox, Abiword and Parallels. Next I have to burn a copy of the latest Ubuntu so I can run it on the Mac as a virtual machine. I will be loading the development tools on the Mac tonight. Eventually I will get to loading RoR and MySQL so I can get down to business coding. I also need to move my creative files over to the MacBook. My novel, art work and such. Fun times.
contextual(right click) menus – no need to use the option key,go to system preferences/mouse keyboard,check the box by use two finger switching,then to get a right click just put 2 fingers on the track pad and click-that simple!
The female voice in Opera is very similar to the default voice in the Mac. But there are many variations on the Mac. You could mix and match voices with Automator to create a radio drama effect. Although it would sound like it was being read by a bunch of wacked out robots. ;)
You can have the Mac read just about anything. It also has a voice activated command feature which I have not tried yet. Yes, it can read books, websites and slide shows. Opera was fun, but this is really fun. :0
So here is the question of the week… Which was a better voice, Opera or Mac? I’m seriously curious since in Opera it’s an add-in and mac it is not. More importantly, could the voice be used to read books, websites, etc?
