  • Dictating on a Mac with Dragon NaturallySpeaking

    Posted on March 4th, 2010 Kare No comments

    As I have mentioned before I’m not a big fan of MacSpeech Dictate. So I use Dragon NaturallySpeaking in Windows XP running under Parallels Desktop 4 when I need to dictate something. It’s working very well, but it is of course very tedious to have to copy and paste everything I dictate from Windows back into my Mac applications. Luckily Tim Harper has made tightvnc-dns, a Windows application that reroutes the generated keystrokes from Dragon NaturallySpeaking back to the Mac side. You can’t use Dragon to edit the text you dictate this way, but for shorter pieces of text it is very practical. Read the rest of this entry »

    bjango.com has an interesting article about how and why many developers are moving their settings into the app itself. They even have some icons you can use, both for the tab bar and the toolbar.

  • Finally released my first App

    I finally released my first iPhone app, Repetitions, today. It’s going to be very interesting to see how it does. After reading about how other apps have done I’m not very optimistic, especially since the release date of my app was set to 25 August (when it was accepted by Apple) instead of today when it was actually released. Which of course means my app now appears on page 6 of the “Health and Fitness” category in the AppStore. Where no one will find it. But I will be releasing an update soon anyway, which should put it on the first page at least for a couple of days.

  • Updated the main website. Because less is more.

    I have finally updated my main website. I wanted to make it as simple and clean as possible, just like the app itself. It seems most websites try to cram as much text and images as possible onto the pages, making them a chore to read. I’m hoping to avoid that, while still providing enough information. So if anyone notices anything important that is missing, please let me know. Except for a support page, I will add that when I get back from vacation.

  • Added mySettings to GitHub

    I finally added mySettings to GitHub, using the marvel that is hg-git. It allows me to continue using mercurial, and to push and pull from git repositories. The project on GitHub can be found here. The main place for mySettings will still be on BitBucket, I’m just uploading the code to GitHub to see if it will attract more users and contributors.
