Using Transcriber with OS 10.7.1

[Adriano Truscott]

Hi Tom, 

Thanks for the explanation.  Downgrading? (you CLEARLY haven't been doing the finger swooshing on 10.7:)

That would be a last resort but the  Windows emulator sounds good.  Will try when I have a chance in a few days.

Cheers, 

Adriano

But then again, I don't recall if TranscriberAG worked in 10.6, and it looks like it only supports 10.5! Pretty amazing for a piece of software released this year. Can anyone confirm whether they have got it working on 10.6?

While there was a transitionary piece of technology called Rosetta in 10.6 (and I think 10.5) that handled these older programs on newer computers, this has been dropped in 10.7.
