An external speech synthesizer would eliminate this problem. Also, scanning the 
web pate before pressing play would reveal the controls, if any, that are 
accessible.

 Hi.  I was asked to check this out from a user point of view and didn't
find it accessible.  I was asked on behalf of a charity project to play
around with pre-uploaded music files and didn't find the free version much
use.  This guy wanted to upload audio files for the public to play such as
info regarding government benefits etc.  I'll paste my response to that guy
below so you will see my experience.  Walter.

Hi Glyn.  Firstly my apology; I was going through my deleted items, clearing
them out when I came across your email.  somehow it went straight to my
deleted items rather than my in box.  I would have replied sooner if I had
seen it so sorry about that.

OK.  This is my initial input regarding the site.  The music is displayed
clearly and the play button is easy to find and activate but that is where
the simplicity ends and the problems begin.  Once you have activated the
play button and the music plays, there is no way you can use the other play
controls because the music drowns out the screen reader and as there is no
keyboard short cut keys trying to use them is a hiding to nothing.  You have
to wait for a quiet passage in the audio before trying frantically to find a
control but the quiet period never lasts long enough for you to find what
you want.  This is the free version and I noticed there is a Pro service but
I guess you have to pay for that but there is no way of telling if the pro
version is any more accessible than the free version and in any case, the
people who would want to play any files you upload would use the free
service.  As I've said I've only looked at the site briefly and when I
discovered getting to the play controls during playback was problematic I
didn't go any further.  As with WMP, if there were short cut keys such as
Control+s for stop or Control+p for pause or control+m for mute or+control
+r for rewind then it would be a good service to utilise.  It might be you
can map the keyboard and create these shortcuts but I'd need to look further
into the site and I'll do that as soon as I can.  Of course this initial
summery is from a blind point of view.  People with hearing loss or other
disabilities but who have site, or even some partially sighted folk would be
able to use it.  Unfortunately though if you have no usable sight and in the
absence of play controls accessibility then it wouldn't be of any use to
them.  Nonetheless you have to consider the majority of people who would use
the facility and a minority group shouldn't be allowed to veto something
because they are disenfranchised; you can please all of the people some of
the time and some of the people all of the time but you will never please
all of the people all of the time.  This doesn't mean that solutions aren't
sought to resolve the disenfranchisement and that might be by linking to
another service.  I will ask on the tech lists I'm on to see what can be

Its been a very long time since I used an iPhone but my favourite voice 
recording App for the iPhone without a doubt was Voxy Recorder which was 
feature rich and easy to use as well as being very customisable for 
various situations, you could save custom settings to various profiles.


I had a profile set so I could “Shake” the iPhone, the iPhone then beeped 
which indicated the start of recording.  Once i’d recorded what was needed 
to be captured I shook the iPhone again, a beep was heard to indicate that 
the recording had stopped.


I would then arrive home to find the recordings I’d made whilst out and

Skype Doesn't Get Much Better Than This

2015-10-16 Thread Dane Trethowan
Hi!

I’ve had a Focus 40 Braille Display now for just over a fortnight and these 
devices are truly amazing.

So you’re asking, what does a Braille Display have to do with audio? Well 
normally not a lot but in my case quite a bit.

I’ve done some programming of the display so that I can perform various 
functions using chorded commands from the perkins style keyboard behind the row 
of 40 Braille cells.

I can for example manipulate Skype by using chords to answer/end calls, put 
calls on hold, merge calls together etc, I’m using the Mac to do this but I 
can’t see any reason why this couldn’t be done on a Windows PC.

Its absolutely glorious being able to read and take notes on a Braille display 
whilst chatting, I find listening to a computer voice whilst talking a major 
annoyance.

So here I am sitting comfortably on my couch with my Mac on the desk, my 
headphones on and my Braille display on my knee typing away and ready to answer 
any incoming Skype calls at the touch of a spacebar-A chord on the display, it 
just doesn’t get much better than this.

Re: voice recorder for Iphone

2015-10-16 Thread Dane Trethowan
Its been a while since I used Voice Memos, I don’t remember it being too 
difficult to get around but I ditched using it given that Voxy is just so much 
easier to use, offers far more flexibility when it comes to recording quality, 
can do more with recordings, can organise recordings and so on.

The idea of Voice Memos is a simple one, you can play your Memos back in 
iTunes, eMail them etc but its just not a flexible app.

What do you mean by “lightning Interface”?

I don’t know about that particular one but I’m wondering what’s wrong with the 
Voice Memo App?

Its been a very long time since I used an iPhone but my favourite voice 
recording App for the iPhone without a doubt was Voxy Recorder which was 
feature rich and easy to use as well as being very customisable for various 
situations, you could save custom settings to various profiles.

I had a profile set so I could “Shake” the iPhone, the iPhone then beeped which 
indicated the start of recording.  Once i’d recorded what was needed to be 
captured I shook the iPhone again, a beep was heard to indicate that the 
recording had stopped.

I would then arrive home to find the recordings I’d made whilst out and about 
right there in my eMail In-Box.

Hi!

I’ve had a Focus 40 Braille Display now for just over a fortnight and these 
devices are truly amazing.

So you’re asking, what does a Braille Display have to do with audio? Well 
normally not a lot but in my case quite a bit.

I’ve done some programming of the display so that I can perform various 
functions using chorded commands from the perkins style keyboard behind the row 
of 40 Braille cells.

I can for example manipulate Skype by using chords to answer/end calls, put 
calls on hold, merge calls together etc, I’m using the Mac to do this but I 
can’t see any reason why this couldn’t be done on a Windows PC.

Its absolutely glorious being able to read and take notes on a Braille display 
whilst chatting, I find listening to a computer voice whilst talking a major 
annoyance.

So here I am sitting comfortably on my couch with my Mac on the desk, my 
headphones on and my Braille display on my knee typing away and ready to answer 
any incoming Skype calls at the touch of a spacebar-A chord on the display, it 
just doesn’t get much better than this.

I don’t know for certain, the Braille Keyboard on the Focus 40 display in 
conjunction with a computer is completely programmable, don’t know whether 
Braillenote is open like that, I suspect note and probably was never designed 
to be given that its a note taking device.
