I cannot print envelopes from my mac address book?

@Glenn: What’s the problem you’re having with printing envelopes?

Now it’s easier to print address labels and envelopes online, using http://post.aplicatiionline.ro and all the contacts will be saved in the database. There you can see the address formats for every country to format the address correctly.

@Narcis: I am pretty sure that if somebody already has the contacts in Address Book it’s going to be easier for them to print directly. Why would somebody want to upload the contacts to your website instead of just printing them locally?
Narcis Bodea Sep 11th, 2009 at 4:57 am

Because they can acces their contacts from any computer and from any operating system. I prefer to use an online application than a desktop one. The same is for other persons.
By the way, we added a new domain for the application http://www.envelopedia.com
Thank you for your question.

Control Your Cable Box With Your Mac On The Cheap!

If you’re a digital cable TV subscriber in the United States you may have noticed the FireWire port on the back of your cable box. The most common assumption about this port is that it’s something for service technicians only but it’s actually something you can use to control your cable box, if you ask the right questions!

The Ultimate MacSpeech Dictate 1.5 Global Commands List

MacSpeech Dictate is a great program but learning so many commands all at once can be very intimidating. I’ve put together a full list of all the known commands for MacSpeech Dictate 1.5.*, ordered by their function, to help you learn and remember them.

Morse Code For Computer Control: TandemMaster

The TandemMaster Morse-2-USB interface is a fantastic device which converts morse code entered by two switches into keyboard presses and mouse movements. It gives the user complete control of a computer, as much as any regular keyboard/mouse user would have and can be used on any computer, with no drivers or software needed to be installed on the computer itself.

SpeakingFox: Tell Firefox To Talk

Firefox generally doesn’t let you use a lot of OS X’s accessibility features, including the services menu and some of OS X’s regular keyboard shortcuts. Setting your Mac up to speak highlighted text when you press a key also doesn’t work in Firefox. The Firefox extension SpeakingFox fills this gap with some nifty context menu options to fill this gap.

Fiddle-Proof iPod For An Autistic Child

How would you organise an iPod so an child with autism could listen to his favourite music during car journeys but not accidentally press the buttons and turn off the music? I thought of a couple of methods, and would love to hear about others you’ve come up with yourself!

Mainstreaming Assistive Technologies In Education

Most of the students with disabilities in an educational setting will have some type of print-related disability; having programs that support reading and writing available on all computers limits the stigma for students who need the help and makes these tools available to other students too. Access should be available to everybody.

Dvorak Keyboard Layout - Switching

Switching to the Dvorak keyboard layout doesn’t cost anything but it does take time and effort. Here’s how to go about it, and why it’s worth the energy to do so.

All I Want For Christmas Is Power!

Power’s what assistive technology gives us, really. The power to communicate, to read, to type, to plan, to play, to control things. The power to achieve things that we couldn’t otherwise achieve. Here are some ideas for gifts to empower assistive technology users.

Accessibility Changes Lives

This is the first post in a series about assistive technology. I want to show you why accessibility, adaptive technology, assistive technology, and other disability-friendly practices matter more than you think.

Text-to-Speech in Languages other than English

OS X only offers US English text-to-speech voices, and they are not of a very high quality. Leopard’s “Alex” voice is a great improvement, but even that voice is jarring and mechanical to listen to for more than a few minutes and only offers American English. So what are your alternatives for text to speech?
