Mac Speak Text Shortcut:

When working with images on your Mac, you may encounter issues like 'Error: Binary conversion failed for texture resource 'emily_carriage_car_shadow/thomas'. Unable to load primary texture 'emily_carriage_car_shadow/thomas grey.bmp' for texture file 'emily_carriage_car_shadow/thomas'. Breezeicons-actions-22-filename-bpm-amarok.svg.' This error message indicates that the image file is in a format that is not compatible with your device.

However, you can use the built-in image view to display images on your Mac. Typically, images are displayed using the ImageView, which takes care of loading and optimizing the image, freeing you to focus on app-specific details like layout and content.

If you need to manipulate bitmaps or learn about density folders, this guide is for you. We will take a look at how to use an ImageView, how to manipulate bitmaps, and more.

The BMP format begins with a file header, including the bitmap identifier, file size, width, height, data compression method (optional), color options, and bitmap data starting point. Microsoft developed the BMP format, also known as the Device Independent Bitmap (DIB) format, to save images that appear consistent across different devices.

In addition, you can use the Live Text feature on your Mac to select text from images and have it read aloud. This feature is available on macOS Monterey and iOS 15 devices. Simply take a photo or screen shot of an image containing text, highlight the text, and use the Speak Selection shortcut (Command+Option+Shift+T) to hear the text read out loud.

For example, if you take a picture of a menu or sign, you can select the text using Live Text and have it read aloud. This feature is especially useful for users who are visually impaired or prefer to listen to text rather than reading it.

To set up the Speak Selection shortcut on your Mac, go to Apple menu > System Preferences, click Accessibility, then click Spoke Content. You can also triple-click to select the whole sentence and open an image in Preview or on a website in Safari to select any text in the image using Live Text.
