I just downloaded and installed the Dragon Dictation App from the App Store for the iPhone. It's supposed to be one of the best apps on the App Store. What it does is allows you to speak to your iPhone and your speech will be converted to text. You can then copy and paste that text into your Mail program, Notes, Safari, etc. It gets rave reviews. But I would caution anyone to read the EULA. First, the agreement states that if you click except, that Nuance will download all of your contacts and store them on their servers. The reason they do this is to improve the accuracy of the speech recognition when you speak your contacts. They say they will not use the contacts in any way other than for speech recognition purposes: they won't contact these people. But they don't give you a choice bef ore you click "Accept" to the EULA.

My book will be coming out shortly, it was just delayed. Im hoping to have something deployed on the iPad. Stay tuned for that. And here is a question for you all. We all know about Apple's Newton book making software. Why don't they follow suit with the iPad and give consumers a tool to make their own interactive books? Do you think they will? I think iWeb or Pages would be the candidates for software in this regard. I hope iWork 10 or 11 has this functionality.

I've googled around and can't find a downloadable copy of this application anywhere, but surely someone somewhere must have built and distributed it, if only as a lark? If not, I suppose I'll upload the package that I end up with. This 1994 book is the predecessor to the volumes available here: http://www.pda-soft.de/programmingbooks.html ... it targets NOS 1.x, which is what runs on the OMP I bought in 1993. :) However the app should still run on NOS 2.x, and I can verify that on Einstein, I suppose... I'm doing my development work on a PowerBook 520, which I'm about to upgrade from 25 to 33mhz so NTK runs a bit faster... the bitmap artwork is being prepared in Photoshop 1.0.7. ==================================================================== The NewtonTalk Mailing List - http://newtontalk.net/ The Official </pre> Peter Leonard 2010-03-04T07:50:08 http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.comp.systems.newton.newtontalk/95644 <pre>NewtonTalk folks, Hello! My name is Jack, and I acquired a Newton MessagePad 130 - and I love it. Don't misunderstand, I'm not new to the Apple game: I've been a stalwart apple-only user since the 1984 (even through the dark era that was the 90s). Still, while I have always HEARD about the Newton community, I will admit that I am completely new to this game... Thus, I suppose I'm what you call a "total newbie" to this gig. As such, I hope that you'll kindly help a new advocate with some pretty basic questions, and I apologize if these have been asked thousands of times before! 1) My Newton came with a stylus, case, keyboard and a plug-in charger. It did not, however, come with anything to plug it into my computer. I understand that any wire I do get will require a converter to work with USB, but I was curious as to a) where I could procure such a wire (and what I would be looking for if I did) and b) is there any other way to connect this thing to my older MacBook Pro running 10.6.2?

By the end of the week they need to clear the space. Had a look today, and my heart bleeds... Lots of SCSI stuff: Iomega SCSI drives (the ones that take 1 and/or 2Gb cartridges), enclosures for external SCSI disks, SCSI cables, quite a number of G4s, several SCSI hard drives (like those that MacPlusses and SEs used to sit on), two black G3 portables (I've never seen a Pismo, but I think they are; they're black, kinda shapey, and the keyboard of one is translucent, didn't look at the other), one PowerBook 5300c (not in the best of shapes, that one), several monitors and printers and scanners (I'm sure I saw two SCSI Agfa SnapScans and at least one LaserWriter 12/640), zillions of cables and adapters/connectors (most of which I have no idea what they're for), modems, you name it, some of it used, some not. It's an area approx. 5 m long, 1.5 m deep and 1 m high, packed with stuff. I was in a rush today and just grabbed one bag of cables. Here's a quick-a</pre> G. Isten 2010-03-01T22:57:10 http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.comp.systems.newton.newtontalk/95615 <pre>Hi Everyone, I had a question about a month back about at emate that would not connect to my intel chip iMac. I finally resolved the issue and thought maybe it might be helpful to others. I bought a dongle off of ebay for a Message Pad 2000 (or 2100) and used that to connect to a generic brand 9 pin serial to USB adapter. After installing the drivers on the iMac (prolific technology brand) everything is working fine. It was the serial port on the emate that had been the problem and not using that has been the solution. If anyone is interested in a keyspan US-28 usb to serial adapter let me know. Thanks!
