RE: Review: Sony Creative Software Sound Forge Pro 11 - Studio Daily
I agree that Amadeus Pro is ideal on the Mac side, I've used it and it works very well. On Windows, in terms of serious audio production without vision, there is nothing that beats Sound Forge V8 if you can get it, V9 and above have serious accessibility issues in my view and, despite me reporting these to Sony, they've not been fixed. On Windows, for multi-track work I use Sonar 8.5. Again, it's excellent and allows you to be very precise in terms of achieving a good overall balance of tracks. I like to be very precise with my editing, and Sonar does not quite give me the flexibility that Sound Forge does, but we do use Sonar a lot.

It is hoped that the product will be available with full accessibility soon, the developers are actually using JAWS to test their product to see just how accessible they can make it. The other good news will be the price, instead of $499 that you pay for the full Station Playlist suite you'll only need to pay $199 for the laternative. Those who are helping the programmers are professional DJ'S and Broadcasters in their own right having worked in the field for longer than 10 years so they know their stuff.

Could the problem be that the tracks aare of differnt bit rates? sometimes it works, sometimes not, and sometimes at differnt times it sets off the warning, up to 90 seconds before the end. both wehn Studio is in focus and when not. Would it make a difference that I am using the Studio Demo. I am about to purchase it in a couple of days. I am using Jaws 10 latest update. Any feedback from those using these scripts with Studio, successfully would be appreciated. Peter Scanlon. Home: +61 03 9878 3623 Mobile: 0407 956 110 Work: +61 03 8684 6160 Keep Rockin'.

Re: creative media lite
Far be it for me to say but what a negative message. Rather than say and don't work that well, Why not just write to me off list, and thoroughly document what the problems are. That is the only way things get improved you know. It is not a great incentive to produce free scripts just to get back that kind of response. It could well be that they do not function with a particular jaws version for all kinds of reasons, or some aspect of the software has changed.

My thoughts on the Mapler media player
content for 90 seconds, a spoken message interrupts the playback alerting you to the fact that you are running the program as a demo. The audio then resumes playing until the next 90 second block. The demonstration is unlocked using an unlock code as is the case with many software packages which are downloadable from the web. Areas to Improve: Please note that some of these observations or suggestions may be due to me not fully understanding the program. 1. When viewing the content of the playlist, if your screen-reader allows you to activate a mode where full MSAA information is delivered rather than columns of data viewable on screen, you may like to invoke this mode. JAWS has such a facility and System Access will do this anyway by default. While from within the settings menu it is possible to change the width of the displayed columns, for even track titles with a reasonable length they were often truncated and so the screen-reader does not announce them fully. 2. The playlist view is presented with the item number first, then the album name, artist, then track name. It would be useful if the order of this information could be changed by the user or perhaps some aspects of it removed, such as the album title if not desired. 3. Alongside each item in the playlist is an edit window which displays information such as the current position within the playing track, the total length of the track, etc. Much of this information is not very understandable as it contains a series of figures representing the minutes and seconds as opposed to displaying meaningful text, such as 2 minutes 30 seconds. A. It is recommended that such information is converted into text which the user can easily understand as illustrated above. when a screen-reader announces numerical data continually, even at a slower rate the output can be confusing. B. While it is possible to move line by line through the Edit window, it is not possible to move character by character or word by word to examine it more closely. 4. It would be nice if the user could specify through the Settings menu a default location for playlists which have been saved. Currently, if you select a location to bring an audio file into the playlist, the next time you select a playlist the program looks by default in the folder just selected for audio files. There may not be playlists in that folder so it is necessary to browse to a different folder. 5. If audio is being played, pressing down arrow allows you to view the next track title in the playlist and the audio for that track immediately begins to play. The problem with this is that you may wish to view the upcoming tracks without actually playing them. This is particularly important if Shuffle Play is selected. I would recommend that a separate list of the tracks should be made available for viewing purposes only. 6. Pressing Enter on a given track allows you to view its properties or, if you Tab through enough times, you can change the ID3 tags such as the track title, artist name, album name, year, etc. It would be useful if these fields had shortcut keys to move directly to the specific fields in the Dialog so that you can easily and quickly amend specific parts of the file properties if necessary. This is important if you have a large number of tracks you wish to tag correctly and the advantage of this player of course is that you can play the track if you are unsure what it is before tagging it. The shortcut key implementation would help a lot. 7. The ability to convert audio cD content to an audio file format would be very useful. Although programs like CDEX work well, it would be nice to have that functionality in the program. 8. It would be good to have a means of moving to a specific segment within the file, such as 2 minutes and 30 seconds. Winamp has an edit box you can invoke into which a value in time can be entered and it would be advantageous if Mapler had a similar function. 9. Unfortunately, the developers have fallen into the trap of not conveying all on-screen text to the user when he or she Tabs through the settings dialog. I find this often happens with programs. As an example, when a user tabs through the Settings dialog, the screen-reader will announce Start of Crossfade, 5, where 5 represents the number of seconds relative to the crossfade. However the user does not know what this means. Visually, the on-screen text says Start of Crossfade, 5 seconds before end of track. In fact there are a number of labels in that dialog where the meaning is not clear. The caption for each label should reflect the true meaning of the field. 10. The player should ideally have a graphic equaliser. I think that is all for the time being, but if anyone has any questions about the player I will try and answer them.

First, if I'm downloading from a web based interface rather than using their software, is there still something that I need to download as a subscriber in order to download files? Second, When accessing on the web can one do everything that other users accomplish with downloaded software? These may sound like beginner questions but my only recent downloading experience is with Emusic. Very easy to use and super reliable, but their selection, though interesting, eclectic and with some excellent choices also has a ton of gaps when it comes to many major artists. So I'm looking around. No problem paying a bit. I just want it to work.

Re: sound taxi problem seems to be resolved
Hi scott You need to purchase a sound taxi licence for each machine. The first thing to say about creating a daisy book is, look ath the PRS help. I am not being annoying by saying that. It really is extremely well written and easy to understand help. However very briefly, The first dialog asks you whether you want to open or create a new project. You select new. You then have to specify various parameters about the book in the next two dialogs, such as the compression, the title, author, etc. Just tab through them. When you have your project set up, you select Tools, Import audio. Again, you have a couple of dialogs where you can specify the phrase detection parameters and the location of the file to import. Next you are invited to start the import. You can import as many files as you like. Once done, you can edit the book if required, for example, you can divide the book so it has an audio title, or perhaps headings if you are familiar with the book. If you are not familiar with it, and you knew you wanted to keep it, you could always create headings on the PtR2 or other section dividers while listening to it for future use. Once this is all done, you build the book by pressing Control+B. This is a very quick process. Then just put it on a card or CD if you want. There are lots of other things you could do but those are the very basic steps.

problem with sound taxi
Hi I have a problem with sound taxi and I wonder if anyone has experienced this. When converting an Audible book, the conversion progresses relatively quick as I would expect. However, when the progress indicator reaches 100 per cent, it takes at least an hour to show that the file is converted, it could be much more than that time. Sound taxi leaves at least an hour of blank space at the end of the converted book as well and I suspect this is what it is doing when the progress indicator reaches 100 per cent and stays visible. If anyone has any suggestions I would like to hear about them please. I wonder how often the software is updated, or how you can tell if you have the latest release? Thanks.

Re: Updated Napster Scripts for JFW?
Hi Kane Thank you for your message. Yes I use Napster every week and don't have any real problems with it, here are a few things to try. First, you have an edit field into which you can type the artist or track you are looking for. Next to this is a combo box containing items such as artist or track. These are both accessible. Once this combo box is manipulated in the way you wish, Pressing Enter wil usually reveal a list of tracks. You can arrow down to a track, activate the context menu and select download. Upon activating the context menu, sometimes you will see an item view artist page which will be the first item on the menu. You can hit enter on this item. Once this is done, I start exploring with the jaws cursor. You can usually find the title of an album somewhere, or in some instances the phrase other members downloaded or something similar. Put the jaws cursor on any of those elements and route PC to jaws. the virtual cursor is then available, making it possible for you to select albums by pressing enter on the hyperlink for the album. From there, you can select the download album link. I did have a problem a couple of weeks ago when I downloaded an album, and then wanted to download part of it again. However, Napster will not let you do this because its internal database thought the tracks were in my library, which they were not. I called Napster, and they told me which files to delete in order to rectify that problem. I could find my notes on this and let you have them if you wanted. They were quite helpful at Napster and they realise there store is not completely accessible, but I have found it to be the most accessible music service with the widest range of tracks. Given that I have used it for about two years or more, I have a lot of experience in using it and if I can answer anything else please do not hesitate to ask. - Original Message - From: Kane Brolin [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: Brian Hartgen [EMAIL PROTECTED]; PC Audio Discussion List pc-audio@pc-audio.org Cc: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, August 31, 2007 3:06 PM Subject: Updated Napster Scripts for JFW?

Since the iTunes Music Store is largely inaccessible to me as a blind PC user, especially when it comes to downloading or buying full albums, I've thought recently about Napster and have gotten a trial subscription to start with. But I've noticed the Napster client software is up to Ver. 3.8.1.4 now, and JAWS doesn't seem to respond to it well without scripts. Brian, I singled you out on this message because you've written on the Blind iPod list that you use this service and are happy with it. But I find that I must use the JAWS cursor to do most of the navigating; and selecting exactly what I want and getting to all the background info and all available albums is tricky, with the Virtual PC Cursor sometimes working and sometimes not.

There would not be any problem scripting this for jaws, as all the toolbar buttons can be built into a vertical list, or shortcut keys built into them, or both, whatever people want really, and that's the question. Do people want access to this program? Is it going to be useful if I do this, baring in mind that it does not record skype calls. To be frank, I have held back on writing a few scripts for version 2 of the product because there are other products which record Skype calls and which are accessible, and where the developers have obviously gone a long way to build accessibility into the product and I think that ought to be supported. As I say, if people think this is of value and they would like scripts, please let me know. But again, Maybe the developers ought to be persuaded to build accessibility into the product. It is new after all! This is the kind of thing Main Menu ought to be following up, and perhaps they would have done in the live segment this week if problems had not arisen because I know they were going to talk about recording with Skype etc. Brian Hartgen Audio List Help, Guidelines, Archives and more... http://www.pc-audio.org To unsubscribe from this list, send a blank email to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Audio List Help, Guidelines, Archives and more... http://www.pc-audio.org To unsubscribe from this list, send a blank email to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Audio List Help, Guidelines, Archives and more... http://www.pc-audio.org To unsubscribe from this list, send a blank email to: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

YouSendIt Replay plug-in scripts published
Hi As the subject line suggests, the scripts for the YouSendIt plug-in for the A V Replay program have been freely published. Shortly I will create some kind of page for them on my site, but the direct URL to download the installer is www.hartgen.org/YouSendItreplay.exe The installer is programmed to detect JAWS versions of 7.0 through to 9.0 at the moment to cater for 9.0 when it is released later this year. As was pointed out on this list, version 6.20 does not work well with Replay A V and since these scripts are designed to meet a specific purpose I have not been concerned about that. The functionality offered by the scripts is quite automatic as follows: 1. When confronted with the licence agreement screen, ALT+A equals accept licence agreement, ALT+D equals decline licence agreement, ALT+V equals view licence agreement. I did not put hotkey help in here because the tutor message voice prompts you with this guidance automatically. 2. When focused upon the sign in or any other YouSendIt screen, the virtual cursor is automatically activated and you are advised of this. From this point just use the application as if it was a web page. 3. Insert Q gives you the scripts version number. That's all, but at least for jaws users this plug-in is now accessible.

So it records in the background, and you can continue to surf the net or use your screenreader, without having to worry that your screenreader will interrupt the recording. The other wonderful thing about Replay A/V is a tool it has called the URL finder. If you want to record something, but don't know the address, all you need to do is to start the URL finder, play the audio you want to record for a minute or so, and if things go right, the URL finder will get the address, and you can then schedule it as a new show and record it right then if it's an archive, or if it's a live show at a scheduled time, Replay A/V will record it for you. The program requires no scripts or set files for its use, however if you use Window-eyes, you may experience a bit of difficulty with the guide you can use to find and schedule shows. It will record mp3, real audio and Windows media streams, and the included replay converter will allow you to convert any recording to any other format you choose. So if your stream is a windows Media one and you want to save it as an mp3, Replay A/V will capture the stream for you, and then afterwords, convert it to mp3 so you can listen to it whenever it's convenient for you. To me this is a much better sollution because no extra sound card drivers can get in the way, and that's the case, it's much easier and less intrusive. I hope this helps.

Re: scheduled recording from the internet
Hi Chris and all I have obtained this program, and it seems to be very easy to use. I used the URL finder to get the stream I wanted, and was easily able to schedule a recording without a problem. I have not quite worked out the logic in respect of the media guide as yet. When I selected the station I wanted, the programmes did not start from today and I could not find for example the omnibus edition of the archers in there, but never mind. One great thing is that all the shortcuts are listed in the user guide, so I have put a file containing them on my pac mate so I can learn them easily. Again, thanks to the people including Chris and Jonathan who recommended this. I do have a TV card to capture my TV stations and some UK radio stations to record which works perfectly, but it's nice to have something for internet streams.

extracting dVD content
Hi I note I now have Replay Converter alongside the Replay A V program. Has anyone had any luck extracting the content from DVD's using this program please? I only want the audio content. I just tried it with a DVD and I get the message that no files could be converted. I know I could obtain another program for doing this, the name of which I think is dVD audio extractor or something like that, but it means paying for another program. If this does the job then I would like to hear about it if anyone knows any information. The A V program as it stands is great though. Thanks.

YouSendIt plug-in for Replay A V
Hi A PC Audio list member wrote to me and ask whether I could script around the plug-in for the YouSendIt utility. This allows you to record programmes and immediately have them Emailed to someone else. I have now done this. When the sign in screen gains focus, the virtual cursor gets activated so you can create a YouSendIt account or sign into your own. Within the programme properties dialog, when you are asked for the email addresses to send the recordings to and to add an optional message the virtual cursor again is automatically activated. There is an issue relating to the licence agreement, where the buttons are not accessible. This can be easily scripted for, but now I have accepted it I cannot see the screen so will probably need to install onto a second computer to do that. The rest of the Replay programme looks extremely accessible with no scripting required, but if anyone thinks of anything else before I share this file please let me know.

percentage count in Sound Taxi
Hi A member of this list wanted the jaws scripts for Sound Taxi to be able to verify the percentage status of converted files on the press of a keystroke. This is now included within the scripts if you go and get them again. This can be verified with F8 at any time. In addition, there is an automatic percentage count feature. This can be enabled or disabled with F9. The setting is remembered across windows sessions. If enabled, periodically you will hear a percentage count as the file is being converted and you are advised when the conversion is complete. If you switch to another application, and return to Sound Taxi, the percentage count is resumed.

Jaws scripts for Sound Taxi
Hi I have created some basic scripts for the Sound Taxi program recently being discussed on this list. The scripts can be freely downloaded from www.hartgen.org/portable.html and select the miscellaneous topics link.] I can only guarantee them working with Jaws V8 at the moment. They contain the following features. The scripts contain what I call a virtual menu bar. You can press the ALT key to deploy or dismiss the virtual menu bar. When selected, press right and left arrow to move through the options on the menu bar. Jaws will announce the focused option together with a shortcut key pertaining to it. Pressing Enter on any item on the virtual menu bar, or ALT+Tabbing away from the application, will always dismiss it. Note that some options have more than one function, such as play or stop original file. Jaws is aware when a file is playing and pressing the same keystroke, or activating it from the virtual menu bar, will stop the playback of the original or converted file. Once you have become familiar with the shortcut keys I have included, you need never use the menu bar if you do not want to. The other issue fixed was in relation to check boxes not speaking their state. If anyone can think of anything else, please let me know.

Re: Important for those interested in registering Power Gramo!
Hi Chris Just a suggestion. Did you not think of virtualising the current window with control insert W, selecting the number and copying to the clipboard or did that not work? Brian Hartgen E-MAIL: [EMAIL PROTECTED] MSN: [EMAIL PROTECTED] SKYPE: brianhartgen - Original Message - From: Chris Skarstad [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: Pc-audio@pc-audio.org Sent: Wednesday, January 04, 2006 10:26 AM Subject: Important for those interested in registering Power Gramo! hi folks I finally did it! Registering PowerGramo, the program to record skype calls took me quite a while. To say this was an arduous task is an understatement. The program itself works very well after it's registered, but registering it is quite a chore. The thing is that this company prefers to send you your registration code via skype chat. I don't know about window-eyes users, but with JAWS 7, the only way to read skype chat messages is to use your JAWS cursor. Oh by, what fun. Ok, so the dude finally comes online and he sends me a message and he's all like, paste in the code for your product and i'll send you back another code you can paste in. So I do that and he sends me back one of the longest registration codes I've ever seen, probably more than 50 characters long. Ok, so now the question is, how to get this thing from the skype chat window to the proper dialogue box? What I ended up doing was just writing it down in note pad and then i copied and pasted it into the dialogue box for Power Gramo. It took me a couple tries, but I finally did it! So, if you're going to register the program, you might like to get sighted help to make it easier, or barring that, you could do what i did and write the numbers and digits into note pad and save it. As for the program itself, it's awesome. The free version will only record one side of a skype conversation, while the pro version will record both sides and even split it into separate audio tracks. You will be on the left side, and your skype buddy will be on the right. The sound quality can be adjusted in the tools menu, under options. The slider has 3 settings, 0 percent which is low quality, 50% which is medium and 100% which is high quality, bet you couldn't guess!! Window-eyes may read this slider bar differently, but that's how JAWS 7 reads it. The program records calls and saves them in its own proprietary file format, but you can easily export your calls in the file menu, export record. You can choose either Ogg Vorbis, or .wav. Mp3 will be coming in the next pro release they say. To do this, just focus on the call you want to export and then go to the file menu and do it like I said above. You might even like to create a folder on your hard drive called calls or something to make it easier. Remember, the calls aren't automatically saved in .ogg or .wav, you have to export them yourself. So the program itself is extremely accessible, they just need to work on the registration process! It's a pain to have to deal with, and I plan on writing to them and suggesting an alternative method for registration. I suppose I should give the website out for this, i imagine people will wonder what it is? it's called Power Gramo, and it can be gotten from http://www.powergramo.com The standard version is free and the pro is $19.95. ___ PC-Audio List Help, Guidelines, Archives and more... http://www.pc-audio.org To unsubscribe from this list, send a blank email to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] This list is a service of MosenExplosion.com.

Hi Jerry I have looked at all the potential internet security possibilities, and no other sites are affected and all seems OK.

Re: Please, can anybody help a friend?
Hi Well there's good news and bad. The good news is that this software is quite accessible if you are prepared to use the jaws cursor. I did recently have one of the creative players (the Zen Micro) for a short period of time. The hardware wasn't as accessible as I would like which is why I started using the iPod and the iRiver, however the transfer software was usable if the jaws cursor was to be used. The bad news is that I have forgotten most things about the layout. But if the software was to be downloaded from a web site, I could perhaps take another look at this and advise when time permits.

Once there, you can use navigational keystrokes to move forward and back through the available songs in your library. Jaws will announce the song in the library as you move to it, and will advise you when you get to the top or bottom of the list. 3. If you find a song you wish to manipulate in the library with the library navigation keys, simply select it with a keystroke, then for example hit delete or whatever you want to do.

Re: ITunes
Hi Jerry Thanks very much for this, however I have taken the IPod back to the store this afternoon. I am now on the lookout for another MP3 player, and am thinking of going for a Muvo from Creative, since apparently the interface integrates with windows explorer. I can also get a 5 GB version of this product. Thanks again.

I just saw this the other day. - Original Message - From: dennis [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, May 25, 2005 12:18 PM Subject: good news for winamp and ipod's just got this story in a newsletter. IPod users are raving about a plug-in that makes the Winamp digital jukebox a better way to manage the iPod than Apple's iTunes. The plug-in, called ml_iPod, allows iPod users to bypass iTunes and manage music collections in Winamp instead. The iPod is supposed to work with iTunes only. A new version of the software was released Monday. Justin Frankel, creator of Winamp and the open-source peer-to-peer software Gnutella, initially developed ml_iPod, but programming was taken over by Will Fisher, a computer science student in the U.K. Fisher and other developers programmed a slew of features, including the ability to synch multiple iPods with Winamp, create smart playlists and -- the most useful option -- the ability to copy songs from an iPod onto a hard drive. A lot of the feedback I get is people thanking me for freeing them from iTunes, said Fisher. It shows the dissatisfaction people have with iTunes. Apple Computer did not respond to several requests for comment. To prevent iPod users from easily copying vast libraries of songs from computer to computer, Apple forbids tracks from being moved off the iPod -- songs can only be put onto the iPod. In addition, each iPod is associated with a single copy of iTunes. The association can be changed, but only if all songs on the iPod are erased. Someone who keeps music on her computer at work could fill up her iPod with tracks, take it home and copy the songs onto a home computer using ml_iPod plugin and Winamp. I firmly believe you should have the right to transfer your music with any application you like and if this requires software which circumvents DRM (digital rights management), then I don't believe this is ethically wrong, Fisher said. I trust our users to use this freedom responsibly and to not steal music. For songs purchased at the iTunes Music Store, which are copy protected by Apple's FairPlay DRM scheme, ml_iPod users must download an application from the Hymn project, which unlocks the copy protection. Then the ml_iPod plug-in must be configured to run the hymn.exe file when it encounters protected files, Fisher explained. The ml_iPod plug-in has been downloaded half a million times. By comparison, EphPod, a free utility that offers similar functionality, has been downloaded 43,000 times from Download.com. The plug-in works with all varieties of the iPod, but some users have trouble getting the software to work with the iPod Shuffle. Fisher said there are plans to make the plug-in available for other digital music players. ITunes for Windows is an approximately 21-MB download. By contrast, Winamp is 4.7 MB and the plug-in only takes up 130 KB of space. ITunes takes up a lot of resources on the computer. Winamp is a lot faster, Fisher said. Indeed, a lot of our users are still using Windows 98, which iTunes doesn't work on. Feedback about the plug-in is generally enthusiastic. Everything is a breeze and the interface is even easier to use than iTunes, wrote Doug Sheffer on a Winamp message board. Using it with third-gen iPod and Windows ME, wrote Brian Cape in the Winamp forum. Absolutely superb, no problems at all. Congratulations and thanks -- I thought I was going to have to upgrade my PC to XP in order to use the iPod. End of story now maybe we can go to ipods new. ___ PC-Audio List Help, Guidelines, Archives and more... http://www.pc-audio.org To unsubscribe from this list, send a blank email to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Chirp|Chirp|Chirp: It's the Bat, Chirping Bat .Com !
