Audacity 2.1.1 released

2015-07-18 Thread David Bailes
Audacity 2.1.1 has been released, and can be downloaded from the Audacity 
website:
http://audacityteam.org/

A direct link to the download is:
http://www.fosshub.com/Audacity.html/audacity-win-2.1.1.exe

I've updated my guide to Audacity for Jaws users, and it's available here:
http://vip.chowo.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/jaws/Audacity-2.1.1-Guide.html

The guide is also nearly all applicable to users of NVDA and Window-Eyes.

Audacity 2.1.1 includes the following new features which are relevant to the 
users of screen readers: 
1. The transport status is now the first item in the status bar. This tells you 
whether Audacity is stopped, playing or recording, and whether it is Paused. 
2. There are four new playback keystrokes for checking a selected time range. 
3. There are two new playback keystrokes to help with aligning and pasting.
4. You can now move to the first track or the last track by pressing ctrl+home 
or ctrl+end respectively. 
5. You can now assign shortcuts to the commands for moving a track up, down, to 
top, or to bottom. The names of the commands are move focused track up, down, 
to top, and to bottom.

In the Introduction of the Jaws guide, there's a sub section on new features, 
where either details or links to the details of these new features are given.

David.

Hi.
The thing is that the newer models like ls14 and dm901 don't allow
uploading voice files as the older models. When ever are more voice
file updates you will then have to download a seprit voice updater
program wich will bring the files up to date, after wich you can
choose another language if supported. Keep in mind that not all
display languages are supported by speech. The manual and
spesifications are very clear about that.

Hi.

On an Olympus LS-14 bought from Japan there are English  Japanese with
voice guidance for each language so when display language is changed voice
guidance language changes as well.  On the other hand on a dm-901 
purchased

in Sweden although there are many languages on the screen voice guidance
came only in English.  I updated the firmware on dm-901 to the latest and
when installed Swedish voice guidance file English disappeared and was
replaced, vice versa happened when I installed the English voice guidance
file.

My question is how to to make multiple voice guidance language files 
active

on demand like in the situation of LS-14 mentioned above and not replace
each other?

My other question is I want to replace Japanese on LS-14 with Swedish both
on the display as well as voice guidance.  How to accomplish that?

When I searched the downloads of LS-14 I only found the manual for
ls-12/14,
no firmware nor voice guidance files, regards.

Total Recorder and hibernate

2015-07-18 Thread Larry Higgins

Listers,

Just wondering if anybody can tell me if TR 8.5 actually works with 
sleep mode with Windows 8.1? I don't see any option for it in the 
advanced scheduling options, so just wondering if hibernation will 
accomplish the same thing?


Thanks,

Larry

question about Windows media Player

2015-07-18 Thread plrussillo
Hello, I use Windows Media Player 12 on a Win 7 Home Premium machine; in a 
playlist, is there a way for my screen reader (I use System Access) to 
announce each track, for example chapters in a series of Bible stories I 
have in a playlist?  Thanks.
