Text to speech Cantonese macOS

 https://discussions.apple.com/thread/256098270?sortBy=rank

Text to speech not working for Cantonese - macOS Sequoia 15.5

I finally got text to speech working on my Mac for Cantonese.

Enter SYSTEM SETTINGS >> ACCESSIBILITY >> SPOKEN CONTENT >> SYSTEM SPEECH LANGUAGE (select Cantonese) and SYSTEM VOICE (select Sinji or variation). Select the Info icon next to SYSTEM VOICE. On the left-hand panel of the pop-up, select CHINESE. Under SPOKEN LANGUAGE, select CANTONESE >> DONE.

Why Apple chose such a complicated interface to navigate this choice, I don't know. Hope this works for you.

• On the page in the browser (I use Firefox), open the Network Activity monitor as the video is playing. (Ctrl+Shift+E)
• type mpd and find playlist.mpd (or any other octet stream)
• find the https:// adress and the filename in the GET and header information in the network analysis window.
• Use youtube-dl (command prompt tool). If you don’t like command line software then get a GUI like youtube-dl-gui. Or from the command prompt just type youtube-dl.exe https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=…..number from adress bar … and it will download your youtube video.

Screw drive garage door opener lube

 https://support.geniecompany.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/1578/~/how-do-i-lubricate-my-%5Bscrew-drive%5D-garage-door-opener%3F

How do I lubricate my [screw drive] garage door opener?

Last Updated 10/26/2022 01:51 PM

The screwrod of your Genie ScrewDrive unit should be lubricated about once a year.

1. We recommend using GLU (Genie’s white lithium grease,) however you can use another brand of lubricant as long as it is a white lithium based grease.
2. It is very important to select the correct type of lubricant. (For example: WD-40 will prevent the system from working properly.)
3. If needed, you can use mineral spirits to remove any old grease before lubricating.

 

To Lubricate:

1. Starting at the door end of the rail, squeeze a pea-sized amount on the threaded screw rod itself.
2. Moving towards the unit, place another dollop of grease about every 2.5ft or so.
3. Once the grease is applied, operate the unit a few times to rotate the screw rod, and help the carriage distribute the lubrication.
