    When Sounds Compete

    Send us Fan Mail In this episode, I wanna talk about another side of voice control - it may be ab and work with scroll  or go to sleep well and individual files in a folder le to do some wonderful things, but there are some programs where voice control it's not able to do a really good job - not because it is inefficient - far from it - but voice control deals with the human voice and doesn't play well with such programs that emphasize sound such as YouTube and GarageBand.

    The Power of the Grid

    Send us Fan Mail https://support.apple.com/en-au/guide/mac-help/mh40719/mac I certainly am going to talk about a few areas that I want to address in the next two or three episodes, but right now I'm gonna state the obvious–the best way to learn voice control is to use it. Use the Apple support page that I previously mentioned, and if necessary, go over and over and over the commands and what they mean, until it almost becomes automatic. Stick with it, and eventually you will come to the day when you can speak to the Mac, and get things done faster and more efficiently than you could ever do using the mouse and keyboard. I know that I thought voice control would be a cool thing to use it at first but eventually lost interest. However when my hands started screaming in pain from the years of wear and tear - and it could very well happen to you - I found that I viewed voice control not as something interesting, but as a necessity. Having said that, I want to specifically address what I think is one of the most useful characteristics of voice control - and that is the use of grids.

    Painful Hands

    Send us Fan Mail "For the next month or so, I'm going to take a break from podcasting. My sleep schedule has become seriously disrupted, and I've also been dealing with pain in my hands and arms. Before I continue creating new episodes, I need to focus on my health, work with my doctor, and become more proficient with Voice Control and some other accessibility tools.  I have an appointment with my doctor the beginning of next week, and I look forward to zeroing in on solving some of the problems that have made it all but impossible for me to do a podcast now. I have no intention of disappearing. In fact, I have more ideas than ever— I have several projects waiting in the wings. And I want to get to the point, where I can completely do an episode solely using voice control. But for the moment, the most creative thing I can do is take care of myself.

    Drag and AI Graphics

    Send us Fan Mail About two weeks ago, I apologized for not doing an episode for a month. Actually, I did not do an episode for two weeks, but it seemed like a month. I like to think that this episode has some very important uses and organizing your files and folders - how to organize a messy desktop rather than just demonstrate commands. And later, will get into the use of voice control into doing some fascinating graphics with artificial intelligence. So, - I am keeping this episode about half the length of the usual podcast episode in this series - so you would be more inclined to go back and listen to it twice or even three times. It is full of information that might be hard to assimilate the very first time, but I wanted to become second nature. Imagine that - like me - you have all kinds of files scattered around your MacIntosh desktop - some you probably should throw away, some have information that you would someday like to use, and some that you should definitely throw away. Oh one thing before we start-what you want to do is move a document on the desktop, but it is much easier in voice control to say drag a document. And I have a voice control turn off now, so my computer will not be doing all kinds of things when it thinks I'm issuing a command. Support the show Thank you for experiencing Celebrate Creativity.
