Are there any screen readers available for Mac?

I've been diagnosed with cataracts, and at least for the short term, I need something to help read screens, documents, etc. Is there something built into my Mac or do I need to look externally?
Thanks in advance for any help!
Cindy

In your settings there is a section titled Accessibility - http://www.apple.com/accessibility/macosx/vision.html
Have a loot there (things like voice over to read text).
You might want to think about buying something though.  Dragon is the king of the hill for speech dictation and control - pair it with a decent USB headset and microphone (you can get really nice ones for $40-$70) and you almost never need touch the keyboard.

While the built in OS X features are good, the commercial stuff goes a lot further, just something to think about (I have a dyslexic relative who uses dragon and thinks its amazing).

  • Is there any thunderbolt card available for mac pro?

    I have a blackmagic intensity extreme, which has thunderbolt port. But I am unable to use it with Mac Pro as there is no thunderbolt port on it. Any suggestions?
    Thanks!

    Here's a clue at a Thunderbolt PCIe card that may be available for cpu's with an open 16x slot.
    HP is now offering a Thunderbolt option for thier Z820 workstation model.
    Actually, no. That computer was designed for thunderbolt from the start. It is a feature enabler card, not an expansion card.
    I hope this will change soon, but not soon enough to hold my breath.
    There will never be a thunderbolt card for Mac Pros.
    Two reasons:
    1- Even the 2012 Mac pro used 2 year old hardware, that means even the very last Mac Pro Apple sold last month used 3 year old technology. Its not economical to make new hardware for old technology in a very small market.
    2- Thunderbolt communicates directly with the CPU, GPU and PCIe hardware. That means they have to be designed to communicate with the thunderbolt controller. Since thunderbolt was introduced in 2011, a full year after the last Mac Pro (5,1) was designed, its hardware has no possible way to communicate with it.
    Thunderbolt is not  "an extension of the PCIe bus" like eSATA is an extension of SATA, its an entirely different communication protocol.
    If it were just an extension, it would be far cheaper and easier to implement and there would be more than just a handful of products on the market that support it. Right now thunderbolt is making Firewire look like a runaway success!

  • Are there any relay modules available for Compact Fieldpoint, and if not, what are the alternatives?

    I'm speccing out a Fieldpoint system, and although Compact Fieldpoint has many features that make it superior to Fieldpoint for my application, I'm wondering why no relay modules seem to be available for it.
    The cFP-RLY-420 is referenced in the manual it shares with the FP-RLY-420, and a search in the product section comes up with several pages that aren't viewable, but it doesn't seem to be currently available.
    More importantly, if there are no relay modules available at this time, what would be the alternatives for switching? A small Opto22 backplane wired to a DO module perhaps?

    Mako,
    Several of the more specialized modules in FieldPoint have not yet been released in Compact FieldPoint. However, National Instruments is presently working on releasing most of these traditional FieldPoint module in the future.
    Depending on your application, either the cFP-DO-401 or cFP-DO-410 (which are both providing sourcing outputs) may be a possible alternative. The DO-401 module can sustain up to 2 A per channel, 8 A squared per module whereas the DO-410 can sustain up to 1 A per channel. Please note that these modules only handle low voltage DC.

  • Are there any DAQmx examples available for use with pci 6229 M series card?

    I have been searching around for examples which work with the pci 6229 M series DAQ card. Most examples do not list this card as applicable and the one I have found gives an error. Is there anywhere specifically available, what I am particularly interested in is seeing an analogue channel being triggered by another analogue channel reaching a certain value.
    Thanks
    Kevin

    Hi Kejoglo,
    You are right in the fact that the M-Series card is newer than LabVIEW (and therefore the examples that are shipped with it) and therefore the example finder doesn't list the M-Series cards in the list of available hardware.
    Basically though, the M-Series cards work with DAQmx and not Traditional DAQ so if you just go into the example finder and search under Hardware Input and Output>>DAQmx and choose an example from that folder to run on your M-Series card. As long as you don't try to do anything outside of the specifications of your card (which I doubt you will do) then you shouldn't have any trouble running any of the DAQmx examples on an M-Series card.
    Hope this helps, if you still have problems then please feel free to write back.

  • Are there any graphic driver updates for Satellite L850-162

    Are there any driver updates available for the L850-162?
    I'm just running with the ones that came installed with the laptop but the display is pixellated and jumpy when watching video.
    Any help/advice would be much appreciated

    Sat L850-162 is a part of the PSKDGE and it has been equipped with an Intel HD (INTEL HM76) Express chipset (graphic chip)
    There are more Toshiba series which use the same chipset so you could also use the drivers released for such notebook models.
    For example:
    C850 PSKC8E
    C855 PSKC8E
    C870 PSC8EE
    L830 PSK84E
    L870 PSKBGE
    P850 PSPKBE
    and others
    At least you could also try to use the Intel HD HM76 driver from the Intel page.
