The website works very well. Are usually use the iPhone app to actually read
books though. You can also import into iTunes, although I haven't done that
in quite some time. How are you trying to access the content?

Re: [JAWS-Users] Audible or Book Share

[Christine Murphy]

I find the Audible web site quite accessible using JAWS.  

Another very nice thing about Audible is that they have many courses
produced by The Teaching Company in the Great Courses series.  They cover a
wide range of topics.  I've acquired several by using an Audible credit or
by purchasing one on sale.  This is a great way to revisit something you may
have studied previously or to learn about a new topic that is of interest.
This is an excellent deal.

Audible has professional actors reading their books.  Most Audible books are
commercial audiobooks but somee are actually commissioned by audible.  JAWS,
thankfully, does not read Audible books nor is their a need for it to read
them.  NBookshare is another horse entirely.  The plus about bookshare is
that it comes in text, with speech and it's cheap.  I've found its coverage
not generally to my liking.  Audible is only speech, and should be
considered more of a bookstore than the library that bookshare is.
Bookshare's original purpose, I think, was to provide educational materials
while Audible's is to make money by providing a wide variety of reading
materials.

I get by with Audible and NLS just fine;  they supply me with more books to
my liking than I can possibly read. By the way, Audible's Platinum
subscription provides 24 books a year for $229, less than 10 bucks per book.

Re: [JAWS-Users] Audible or Book Share

[Adrian Spratt]

George,

I subscribe to both. Audible books are read by professional narrators and tend 
to be high quality. I use Bookshare for text copies of books. For a fluent 
braille reader, Bookshare must be wonderful. Unfortunately, I am a slow enough 
braille reader that I rely more heavily on narrated books. Of course, I do use 
text-to-speech engines, which I think work well for nonfiction. However, 
fiction doesn't do as well because a speech program can't always get intonation 
right, which you need for dialog and the other tricks of a novelist's trade. 

In terms of cost, Bookshare is hands-down cheaper, at $50 a year for an 
unlimited subscription. I don't know all the Audible subscription options. Mine 
is something like $17.95 a month for which I get one credit, that is, one book 
a month. However, audible has sales throughout the year that make book 
purchases much cheaper than they seem at first. It might be a list of books at 
$4.95 each or another list of books where you get two books for one credit. 

I view Audible as a supplement to NLS/BARD. Each service has books that the 
other doesn't. also, there are several NLs narrators I just can't stand, and so 
Audible gives me options. 

IN fact, for me, as a poor braille reader, Bookshare is also a kind of 
supplement. If I'm reading a difficult text or if I want to quote from a book 
in a piece I'm writing, I'll download the Bookshare version.

Both contribute to a level of access to books that was unimaginable just a few 
years ago. When you make your decision, you may need a little assistance 
getting set up. Audible's tech service people tend to pick up quickly and are 
familiar with accessibility issues. With Bookshare, you'll rely more on email 
for assistance. And, if this list's moderators agree, maybe someone here can 
help. If need be, I'd be happy to answer questions off-list.

Hi All,
I am considering joining an eBook service.  Are Audible and Book Share both
accessible?  Any other comments about them would be appreciated.
Thanks,
George

Bookshare is great and of course very accessible.  You pay only $50 per 
year and get just about all the books you can read.  The New York Times 
monthly best sellers list is available almost instantaneously.

[JAWS-Users] Audible "numeric string" ...

[Jim Hamilton]

HI ALL:
 
To start, I use JAWS 17 on a Windows 8.1, 64-bit PC, and the below problem
happens in Word 2013 and OUTLOOK 2013.  JAWS has been set to handle
"numbers", as aposed to the synthacizer, and it is set to say longer numbers
in "pairs" - which may be relevant.  This has been happening for a long
time; so, I am not sure if it was doing this with JAWS 16, which was setup
in the same way regarding the handling of numbers.
 
When reading a long number (even if only 2-digits), individual digit by
individual digit, I often hear a "numeric string" after every digit I hear.
Sometimes, I hear this same numeric string after reading a "whole number" ,
seemingly attached to that "whole number".  This has become much more
bothersome lately, because I am working on things like "budgets" and
"fund-raising" planning sheets - things with which I would not have been
concerned for a long time.
 
The audible, numeric string "appears to be" 112075, which reads as 11, 20,
75 - alided closely together.  I can not seem to separate the individual
digits, even using the "spell mode", because this string reads much more
quickly than if I simply had JAWS read the text "11 20 75", and the reading
speed does not seem to be at issue.
 
For whatever reason that this may be happening, can anyone tell me how to
stop this?  I am worried that I may be sending messages/documents to people
that will read the same way as they do for me, and this could be confusing.
...  not to mention, make me sound stupid - at least for a minute or 2!  :)
:)
 
BTW: I should point out, sadly, that this problem did not show up in
re-reading this message; so, this would appear to be an inconsistent
problem.  Still, any suggestions would be appreciated, even if the only
person's confusion, that gets cleared up, is mine.
 
Thanks.
 
Jim H

Thank you!

Has anyone successfully used this combination, and if so, what's the trick.
Also, is there a plug-in for WinAmp for playing Audible books?

Re: [JAWS-Users] audible jaws

There is no way to go from reading about a book, to downloading it in one 
click.  You have to purchase the book first, then go to your library and 
download it.


If you are reading through a list of books, say from a search, there is an 
add to cart button that you can click on.  If you want to know more 
about that particular book, click on the title then search for the word 
summary and you should get to the publishers summary.


If you want to hop through a list of books more quickly, say after you 
have done a search, then you can maybe do a search on the word play, which 
jumps you to the next book and places you on the play button for the 
sample.  That is how I do it, but to each his own.


Once you get to your library, it is pretty simple to use the JAWS table 
navigation keys to move through the list of books and download.


I see that you have already subscribed to the blind audible listeners 
list, so feel fre to ask any questions you wish there, and you will 
certainly get lots of help.

[JAWS-Users] audible jaws

[cjacobse]

Hi, I have downloaded books from audible (6 months ago) as I recall it is a bit 
painful. I have looked on the jaws users webpage for helpful hints with no 
luck. Anyone have jaws tricks to share that make this site quick  easy. I 
don’t want to hear about everyone who has rated the book; just a brief 
description  a download link close by.

Hello Kathy, hope i got your name right. If you navigate by headings, as well 
as the buttons that should work a little bit better? Beyond that, I really 
don't know what else I can tell you. I'm sorry i'm not much more help.

Re: [JAWS-Users] audible jaws

[Miriam Vieni]

A more specific answer to your question is that it just isn't that simple.
If you are looking at a book that you want to buy, you can now access the
sample if you have Jaws 12 or higher than that, just by pressing enter on
play. If you want a summary of the book, you need to go to the link  that is
where the book title is and then I use the Jaws find command to find
summary, and you'll get to the publisher's summary. If you then return to
the original title and arrow down, you can purchase the book. Once you've
purchased the book, it appears in My Library. You go there to find it. It
may be in several parts. For each part, you tab until you get to the
download link and press enter.

If this sounds confusing, I can certainly understand. You can contact me off
list, or join the blind audible list which has members more skilled than I,
and Dan Rossi, who is on this Jaws list, is also on the blind audible list
and knows this stuff inside out.
