loading sound fonts on the sound blaster live usb 24 bit external soundcard?
hello I just purchased a sound blaster live 24 bit external sound card and am having trouble loading sound fonts in to the card. the sound font manager is not speech friendly. this no longer uses audio h q as its control interface is there any way to load sound fonts either via a third party soundfont loader or scripts or set files to use this manager with jaws or window eyes?

Re: New to Total Recorder questions
Not at all! Total Recorder is perfectly accessible though you may need to label a few buttons and graphics. If you're a user of Window- Eyes then I've created some Total Recorder set files where I've labeled allot of graphics, labeled allot of buttons and named some edit boxes. You'll find Total Recorder a breeze to set up particularly now that Version 6.0 has that Recording Wizard built-in to the functionality of the software, this can test your recording facilities before you start to ensure that all systems are working on your machine.

Re: Macks and speech access.
The Apple Mac computers have always had reasonable speech ever since I can remember first playing with one in 1989 and it certainly hasn't gotten any worse in the various revisions and new voices that come shipped with OS Tiger, a new range of voices will be shipped with OS Lepard and if you really want top quality speech then you can get the Infovox voices, they're the best voices I've ever heard out of any computer system and the most natural sounding human-like voices you'll get anywhere. There is a link to a demo of the new OS Lepard voices and the Infovox voices so I'll dig that out. On 06/01/2007, at 12:36 AM, Stephen Guerra wrote: Has the speech gotten better over time? Stephen A.

Re: Macks and speech access.
Well, it cannot be compared to JAWS or Window-Eyes but really, I don't know whether this list is the place to have a discussion on this particular topic. A few messages ago, one of the other listers gave an url to a very good resource page where you can find allot of info on VoiceOver, what people are using it with and for and an extremely informative email list to boot. If you go to http://www.apple.com and search for VoiceOver, you'll find a mound of stuff there too including tutorials on VoiceOver and various applications in multiple formats which include MP3 Audio and HTML. Naturally, I will answer any questions anyone has off list, I'm not a Mac expert by any manner of means but if I cannot answer a question then I can hopefully point you in the right direction.

Re: Macks and speech access.
I'd be kidding you all if I said that voiceOver was perfect, it just isn't but I think I can also fairly say that JaWS and Window-Eyes are not perfect either.

Re: imic
That's a fair question and the answer is that you may not need an Imic if you already have a sound card however, the Imic I have to say leaves the quality of the SB Live etc way behind so for the Price? Well that may be worth considering. The other great thing about the Imic is that it just works on a Windows box or a Mac, no drivers required at all so its great! if you're installing speech with Windows and you need to use that Windows Utility Manager, you can move it between computers as it just plugs into a USB port and now I come to think of it, its nice to be able to access the Imic to say remove plugs or change them, try doing that with a sound device in a computer when your computer is installed in a computer desk and see how long that all takes smile.

Re: imic
Indeed, that's a good enough reason as any. The Sound Blaster Live packed it in on one of my Windows boxes but not to worry, off to buy another Imic so if anything breaks down in the Sound device department ever again, the replacement job will only take 5 seconds instead of ten minutes.

Re: Macks and speech access.
If you want to discuss working with audio on the Mac that's fine with me. However, the thread was getting into the Mac operating system and speech access to the operating system and that is off topic. When you subscribed to the PC-Audio list the welcome message defined rules and guidelines for the list and asked you to unsubscribe if you didn't agree to follow them. I didn't write the rules, I'm just using them as they were originally written to define the purpose of the list. Tom ** Message Separator ** Well, I need some clarification, how is this off topic We all use computers for audio--what else---and to me it shouldn't matter whether it's a mac or Windows computer, I wasn't asked that when I signed up.

Yeah, put it like that fair enough but when thigns like Screen Reader discussion come along then yes, I would think that such a discussion is drawing a few lines but an alternative audio solution?? Yes, why not! I use Sound Studio on my Mac here and its essentually a cross between Total Recorder and Sound Forge, boasting many features of both programmes including multi track editing.

That's a fair question and the answer is that you may not need an Imic if you already have a sound card however, the Imic I have to say leaves the quality of the SB Live etc way behind so for the Price? Well that may be worth considering. The other great thing about the Imic is that it just works on a Windows box or a Mac, no drivers required at all so its great! if you're installing speech with Windows and you need to use that Windows Utility Manager, you can move it between computers as it just plugs into a USB port and now I come to think of it, its nice to be able to access the Imic to say remove plugs or change them, try doing that with a sound device in a computer when your computer is installed in a computer desk and see how long that all takes smile.

Re: demo of replay av 8.03?
Hi, Its nine dollars to upgrade to version 8.03 from 7.x, which I believe cost somewhere round about forty or fifty bucks.

Re: imic
You can also check www.pricegrabber.com and www.ebay.com. You can use both sound devices under Windows, the Imic will be detected automatically when its plugged into a Usb port. Amazon seems as good a place as any to get these things. On 06/01/2007, at 2:01 PM, Michael S. Goren wrote: Where can I find an Imic, and how do you tell Windows to use it as a sound card?

Mac demos
You can hear audio presentation by John Gunn about Voiceover and Apple Mac Tiger at: Main Menu On Demand http://www.acbradio.org/pweb/index.php?module=pagemasterPAGE_user_op=view_pagePAGE_id=19 The series starts with the 16 August 2006 program. Those episodes do not have text descriptions yet. There are also older demos going back to 2005. Look for voice on the page and you will find them. This might answer some of the questions people are asking about Mac access and voice quality. I wanted to point out this resource so that we can get back on topic. It will be great when we can hear in depth demos of Voiceover in Tiger.
