Accessibility of Adobe Audition
Hello everyone, I am considering migrating to Adobe Audition. However, I was wondering how accessible the latest version is with a screen reader. I am using Window-Eyes as my reader. Thank you. To unsubscribe from this list, send a blank email to: pc-audio-unsubscr...@pc-audio.org
Re: Accessibility of Adobe Audition
Hi Sam, My view might be a little subjective but from what I've tried out in the past when I got myself Adobe Audition just to take a look at it got totally worse than e.g. 2.1 version of Adobe Audition when you know they changed their label from Cool Edit which was the predecessor of that one. I wasn't confortable with that as many objects were placed without any shortcut keys on the screen beyond the menu so OK it was possible to grab them using the virtual mouse and crowling around but it was a real pain. It has the standard menu from what I remember and maybe they improved some particular things of that I can't tell but generally the older version were incredible having most of things in menu reachable via the keyboard unlike the latest versions. But maybe somebody knowing more of that will chime in. I say the most blind-friendly one is Sound Forge:). For the record I don't think it'll be better with Window Eyes as the universal way of the layout and localizing the object is identical to all screen readers regardless of whether it's NVDA Jaws or Window Eyes etc. Tapin-radio coordinator URL: http://www.tapinradio.com/ Facebook: http://facebook.com/tapinradio Twitter: http://twitter.com/tapin_radio Skype: tapinradio - Puvodní zpráva - Od: Samuel Wilkins Komu: PC Audio Discussion List Odesláno: 2. prosince 2012 16:21 Predmet: Accessibility of Adobe Audition Hello everyone, I am considering migrating to Adobe Audition.

Re: Accessibility of Adobe Audition
Samyuel, I am a Window-Eyes user and I used Adobe Audition in its early days and CoolEdit before then which Adobe purchased. The current version of Audition conveys information to screen readers using other methods that are not evident from the screen. Mostly, I think MSAA is used, although there could be some UI Automation. What this means is that if you just try to explore the screens with the mouse pointer, you are going to notice that some things that others see on the screen are just not there. GW Micro does have an Audition app that gets a lot of the information you need. When I tried that some time ago, it worked pretty well, but there were some gaps when dealing with certain plug-ins. I had switched to Sound Forge before these capabilities became available, though, so I didn't buy a full Audition version, and I have not tried it for a while. I would suggest that you ask on the GW-Info list, though, and I would also see if you can get a demo version and plan on really working the heck out of it for thirty days or so. I don't know if you can download a demo version or not. If you do try this, I for one would be very, very interested to hear what you find out. Also, if there are specific problems, Aaron Smith of GW Micro might be willing to see if something can be done with the app. While I am not unhappy with Sound Forge, I would consider moving back to Audition if it works reasonably. Good luck. Best regards, Steve Jacobson On Sun, 2 Dec 2012 15:21:31 -, Samuel Wilkins wrote: Hello everyone, I am considering migrating to Adobe Audition.

Re: Accessibility of Adobe Audition
Your cautions are legitimate, but there were some changes that were intended to help screen readers between Adobe audition 2 and 3. I have not experimented enough to know where things are now, but if someone has a reason to want to use Audition, I really think it is worth trying the demo to see where things are now.

Ripping Audio Cassettes
Guys, I need to find a method for ripping audio cassettes. I know there are cassette decks with USB ports on them, but I need to find accessible software to do the ripping. I'm getting this as a Christmas present for my sweetheart, who is using JAWS 13 and a Windows 7 machine. Also, if possible, the software should be as unintimidating as possible for her. Anyone got any ideas that won't cost an arm and a leg? Thanks much. Evan To unsubscribe from this list, send a blank email to: pc-audio-unsubscr...@pc-audio.org
RE: Ripping Audio Cassettes
I use Soundforge and some times Audio Additon for converting cassettes to digital format. Unfortunately, this requires real time recording.

Thanks Dan. I've heard of Soundforge. If I recall correctly, it's a comprehensive audio program, with a fairly steep learning curve, which would be intimidating to the person who wants to convert the cassettes, and also not cheap. Please correct me if I am wrong on any of this. I haven't heard of Audio Addition. What kind of money are we talking about for that one? Thanks again.

Re: Ripping Audio Cassettes
Hi Evan, Does your girl friend have a Plextalk? If yes, she can hook it up to a cassette player, with a patch cord and record the casette to the flash card of the Plextalk. Then tell the Plextalk to convert that Daisy recording to CDDA format and it will record this onto a blank disk. She can then put this disk in her computer and import it. Although the music will now be on the computer, she will need to find it and rename each track, which will just be listed as Track 1 and so on.

RE: Ripping Audio Cassettes
I recently transferred a slew of music and spoken word cassettes from an APH talking book cassette player with a wire-like cable with one-eighth-inch jacks at each end and the microphone jack of my computer. APH's cassette players were reasonably high quality. Initially there was some guesswork involved in getting the cassette player volume right, but after that it went smoothly. I used the software application GoldWave to record and edit the files. GoldWave is free for the first numerous uses, after which there is a price tag of something like $30 or $40 US. The GoldWave manual is pretty good. If your friend is still intimidated, there are good podcast tutorials, and people on this list are eager to help solve specific problems. -Original Message- From: Pc-audio [mailto:pc-audio-boun...@pc-audio.org] On Behalf Of Evan Reese Sent: Sunday, December 02, 2012 7:38 PM To: PC Audio Discussion List Subject: Re: Ripping Audio Cassettes Thanks Vicky, unfortunately, she doesn't have a Plextalk.

RE: Ripping Audio Cassettes
That's kind of more then necessary. Now he said she doesn't have one, but the easiest thing to do especially if we were dealing with the ever so cool and awesome PTR2 is just hook it up to the PC in it's card drive mode and go into the Book DIR 01 folder and pick out the WAV or MP3 files. I'd do it in WAV by the way just to get an exact coppy. Oh yeah, this would also work with the PTP1 AKA the Plextalk Pocket.

Re: Ripping Audio Cassettes
Hi, Yeah that's right you don't need to purchase any expensive device for that purpose as it's enought to hook it up to the computer using the line-in cable with jacks 3,5 mm on both ends, setting up your sound card (recording tab and line-in mode the command line mmsys.cpl) and a good radio which I bet you have. Then you can use any recording program of your choice. I myself use MP3 Direct Cut because as opposed to other programs such as Sound forge Adobe Audition etc. where you have to convert the output recording into .mp3 from .wav, MP3 Direct Cut does record directly into mp3 so no extrawork is needed.

If yes, she can hook it up to a cassette player, with a patch cord and record the casette to the flash card of the Plextalk. Then tell the Plextalk to convert that Daisy recording to CDDA format and it will record this onto a blank disk. She can then put this disk in her computer and import it. Although the music will now be on the computer, she will need to find it and rename each track, which will just be listed as Track 1 and so on.

I've heard of Soundforge. If I recall correctly, it's a comprehensive audio program, with a fairly steep learning curve, which would be intimidating to the person who wants to convert the cassettes, and also not cheap. Please correct me if I am wrong on any of this. I haven't heard of Audio Addition. What kind of money are we talking about for that one? Thanks again.
