Re: Program for general recording on the PC needed.
Yes.A usb sound card for speech is a good idea. You can even get usb digital speakers that are fine with Jaws such as the Palo Alto Audio Design Musik Digital Multimedia Speakers for arounf $50. Or a usb sound bar for laptops. Be sure it acts as a sound card as well as drawing power from usb. This is the simplest solution I've found. I did have a problem with Jaws not responding or speaking quickly if it hadn't been talking for a while but somehow that is fixed. They are not good for music having no bass or treble but pretty good with speech.

Re: Problem With Winamp Playlist Editor
Hi. This thread is a bit old but I somehow didn't send the message when I wrote it. Control+tab cycles through any open Winamp Windows. If you start playing with the library and seem to be stuck on a web page, the old thing to do was close the mini-browser but that doesn't work any more. So I found f6 sometimes takes me out of a explorer type window. That doesn't always work either so I set Jaws to not wrap to top or bottom of web pages and I simply move to the last link in the page and press tab again to move to an accessible Winamp library control. I wish this part of Winamp was easier. Bob On 6/28/2013 3:54 PM, Larry Naessens wrote: Thanks very much Steve.

I am primarily a Mac user, but GoldWave is still the audio editor that I like best, so I loaded it onto a Windows 7 PC. I also loaded Winamp, as WMP and I have never gotten along that well.

I can't close the editor or do anything with the file except to pause or play it by pressing space when the editor has focus. Even when the file finishes playing, I can't close Winamp's playlist editor. I don't recall this problem from when I used Winamp in XP. Can anyone tell me how to keep Winamp's playlist editor out of the way? ? I only want Winamp to play the file in question and close when i'm finished playing the file.

success was: missing Winamp keyboard eq controls
I now have the Winamp EQ controls working. They are even announcing their values as I change them. I just tried disabling the Winamp scripts in Jaws manage application settings. So, either the latest version of Jaws already has full support for Winamp and I didn't need the older scripts from Jim Grimsby or Winamp is sending text to the screen reader. Maybe it is built in Jaws support because I just tested with NVDA and the values aren't being announced. It was actually NVDA that made me realize the controls are working and to try turnong off Jim's scripts in Jaws. I'd tried NVDA with Winamp a few days ago and was able to change the EQ. Although I couldn't read the values, I could hear the difference. Don't know why Jim's scripts blocked the EQ controls. At least they had the value of providing Jaws help for some of the functions and commands that I'd forgotton. Bob On 1/24/2013 11:01 AM, Robert Logue wrote: Hi Again.

i have not heard of that microphone. Some microphones are sensitive to placement. Can you set listen to this device in recording settings? That will let you listen to your voice as you use the headset. Make sure you have headphones on and that it is playing through the sound card that your headset is attached to.

When I don't speak loud enough into the microphone people say they can't here me, when I test the microphone I noticed it gets loud at times and then fades out.

Re: Winamp integration into context menu
I think you can re install Winamp and have the chance to make those choices again. You could also delete the winamp.ini file.

There is a way of inserting a file after the one which is currently playing, but it involves changing some options in Winamp and also using Windows Explorer. To achieve this: 1. Open the Winamp preferences with ctrl+p. 2. Arrow to the Shell Options. 3. Check the checkbox for each of the following: Add 'Enqueue Play' to Winamp's associated file types Insert enqueued files after the currently playing file Leave playback on the currently playing file 4. Open a playlist in Winamp and start playing. 5. Open Windows Explorer and arrow to a file you wish to insert. 6. Press alt+f for the File Menu. 7. Arrow to Enqueue Play in Winamp and press enter.

I wanted to ask you guys about Winamp. I recently downloaded version 5.63, which I've heard is very accessible with Windows xp and Windows 7. However, after listening to a discussion about Winamp on an old episode of Mainn Menu from the ACB Radio archive, one of the broadcasters said, that Winamp has a weird querkyness about it. They said, that When you're playing a long playlist of items, and try to insert a track into the list, instead of placing the track below the one that's currently playing, Winamp will instead place the track at the bottom of the playlist, which may not be where you want it to go. Being that the episode of Main Menu I listened to goes way back to April 17 2000, the information I heard might no longer be relevant. For any of you who use Winamp for either broadcasting and/or personal listening, is there any way to fix Winamp, so that it will place newly inserted tracks into their proper place in a playlist? Also, is there a cart machine plug-in for Winamp, that allows users to play sound effects and radio station jingles? I know that Station Playlist Studio can do all of this, but in case I'm not able to get my hands on a copy of Playlist Studio, I might end up having to use Winamp for broadcasting. I'm not giving up on getting Studio just yet, but if I should need to, I'll have to use Winamp as an alternative. Thanks. Mike Rochester, NY.

Re: total recorder pro and standard
You don't need Jaws scripts for Total Recorder. However, it is helpful to create a few Jaws frames to provide some status information. there is a page with a table that explains all the differences at a glance.But, the table data isn't visible with Jaws. Perhaps there is a way to make it show up? http://www.totalrecorder.com/features.htm I did it by changing graphics to show all and graphics recognize by custom search. Then Jaws can read some strange icons img/unch is not included and img/ch is included. Sory I don't know how to copy the web table so it can be read in e-mail.

I bet you are trying to use your computer as a surround audio system. I've been checking out the options and haven't found reasonably priced surround amps. They tend to cost more than recievers even though they are simpler. I think it's because they aren't so popular. I've chosen to look for real good powered speakers instead but again, the industry doesn't produce many high end speakers for general listening.

Not sure what to tell you. I had a cd that i ripped that had 17 tracks out of 20. I found the 3 tracks in a different folder called unknown. I organize my ripping method by artists directory, then album directory. I have found a few stray tracks in other places in these folders. WMP also moved things around when i had the option to find missing information. For example, I had a song that was on a compilation. WMP took the song and made a new directory and put that one track in there. When I saw the directory of the album name, and I knew I didn't own that album. Sure enough when I went to see what was inside the directory it was my missing track sitting there by itself with a totally different album name in the tag. So my advice, not the greatest, is too look around your music directory that all your wmp stuff goes in to. If it's a big mess try sorting your files by last date modified. This will tel lyou what folders have had changes made to them in the most recent to the oldest. Again not sure if i'm helping here or just making you pull out your hair. good luck bb - Original Message - From: Tom Kaufman tomca...@comcast.net To: PC Audio Discussion List pc-audio@pc-audio.org Sent: Wednesday, June 13, 2012 1:04 PM Subject: Re: Ripping with WMP [was Re: An Odd Problem (at least to me!)] In my case, I also use Windows Media only to rip music; I then go to My Documents; then My Music; that's where my stuff usually will go if I've ripped music to my computer.

I can usually tell which is the correct version because track lists are different or the number of tracks are different.

No idea how much speech feedback is given for the advanced functions. I hope it is more fully voicing than earlier versions but am not holding my breath. I appreciate the parts that do talk on my dm-520 but wish a few functions that are silent were voiced as well.

Yes, I too have had that funny separation occur involving JAWS coming out of a different output channel from the one where multimedia content is playing. I've not figured that one out, either. I've not tried direct sound recording yet with a Windows 7 desktop that has a separate, dedicated sound card. So far I've used only this notebook with built-in, integrated sound. Regardless of the cause, a third-party software solution is logical to try; but the one which appears to work, according to testimonials I have read, seems to be inaccessible. Ultimately, my solution might look like keeping an older XP PC or netbook around just to make and process simple sound recordings, as well as other functions that don't necessarily require a lot of memory-intensive multitasking.

Re: WMP 12 jaws 12 in Windows 7
Well the reference was actually two learning to use Windows 7, Windows media player 12, on a new computer with jaws 12. Having all kinds of issues and not knowing if they were related to the operating system jaws. The hardware or some combination. I'm finding using jaws with Windows 7. Just a bit frustrating. Windows media player 12 is quite integrated into the operating system. Windows 7, has libraries. Here is the relevant part from the original message. Next I added an external hard drive with all kinds of media and Windows media player went crazy! I repared the library and it still goes crazy.

which Olympus recorder is the best to handle? Re: comparison between the LS-7 and DM-620
I wonder which of the Olympus recorders is easiest to hold in the hand and has the least amount of handling noise and wind noise. I have a DM5 20 and cannot get anywhere near the kind of recordings Neil gets with his. I get so much handling noise when I'm holding it. And, so much wind noise. Even the slightest breeze makes a loud noise. the smallest twitch of my hand gets picked up by the internal microphones. I really would like a handheld recorder that records as well as my DM5 20 but has better handling and wind noise isolation. I wouldn't mind the recording button being on the front. Sometimes I don't like pushing the buttons on the side of the recorder when it's in the palm of my hand. It be nice to have my thumb land on the record button. Instead of having to stretch a finger or thumb up on the side of the machine. I find I do a lot of recording taking voice notes and just yakking away since I got the dm520 recorder. But, the handling and wind noise are probably gonna make it very difficult to do speech to text transcription with Dragon NaturallySpeaking. I haven't gotten around to trying DNS out yet on my recordings. I hope it works okay. Still getting my computer sorted out before I can do this.

Re: Sennheiser PC 160 Microphone headset
I wonder if there's a five V plug-in power adapter that would work with your microphone.Some sort of little preamp. Why not just use your voice recorder? As you say, you can plug the microphone into the voice recorder and the output goes to your mixer. You like the headset and you like the microphone. So some kind of little preamp that provides 5v plug in power. It's what you need, if such a thing exists. Bob. - Original Message - From: G.

They were not cheap and so when I heard how good the Sennheiser ones were I bought them with the results mentioned previously. They need a 5v current from what they are plugged into, usually a computer or voice recorder, something missing from a mixer which will only give phantom power. I need something that will give me a good loud clear signal - someone else has suggested that I could try the Sennheiser HMD 280 pro as it has a lower impedance. Someone else says I need a mixer with a higher gain option for mikes. It's beginning to get expensive without any real certainty that it will work. Thanks again.

Re: quality microphones for voice dictation
I have a Plantronics headset right now. And it's not bad, except I'm getting tix and pops on the USB port. Also it makes the sound rather nasal. I don't like listen to myself. When I play back the files. Surely they must have something better than that. I'm kinda curious about the Sennheiser microphones headsets. I have a Sennheiser PX 100 stereo headphone, and they just recently came out with a model that has a microphone for I phones. Now, I don't know if that is compatible with computers, but the fact that they make that sort of headset is a very reasonable price is encouraging. I know that Bluetooth is not good for voice recognition because of dropouts. There are lots of solutions on the market now just hoping to get some good recommendations. I will investigate the yeti. I wonder how good the handling noise is.

Re: To all Total Recorder tutorials

If you set the recording option in TR to Software, it load Winamp, which actually plays the stream in question right through your sound card. The audio is captured from the sound card, not from the stream packets themselves. I know this is true by two proofs. 1. If you use Winamp's down- and up-arrow volume buttons while recording a stream in Total Recorder, when you play the stream back that you just recorded while manipulating those buttons, the volume of the stream will, in fact, go down, then up again. 2. If you record a short stream with WGet (or, in my case, WinWGet, because I like wrappers), and then compare that recording with another short stream from the same source using TR+Winamp methodology, if your ears are good, which mine are not but I've been told this by more than one person with far, far better ears than my broken ones, you'll notice that the TR+Winamp version of the recorded stream has artifacts that the WGet stream does not. I suspect these artifacts are from digital audio being converted to analog, played through the sound card, then re-encoded by TR. Like I said, personally I cannot hear these artifacts any more, but I believe they are there and I believe the reason for their existence is as explained. If TR has a way of getting around this, I'd dearly love to know how it's done. That would make my weekly captures of various radio programs sound so-o much better.

clicking mp3 links was: Reaper Multi Track recording software
I think when you click on a link to an mp3 file like that one, that IE tries to open the file but downloads it in the background instead. When I click it, I get what appears to be a blank page. I am guessing that if I wait long enough, the mp3 will load in to my player, which is Windows Media Player. Somehow, I think having several different media players messes up the IE settings on weather you get a prompt to download the file. This has been happening to me more often recently.

Re: Advice wanted on USB speakers
Hi Barry. I just heard about a new totally digital streeming speaker that isusb powered. They claim they can get more volume without distortion by keeping the signal digital right to the amp. They are sold through Apple stores online so probably will be in stores to check out. I'm hoping our local dealer will have some so I can chec them out. Palo Alto Audio Design Musik Digital http://store.apple.com/us/product/H4752ZM/A?fnode=MTY1NDA0MAmco=MjEzMDM4OTY Palo Alto Audio has 2 models; Musik M u s i k and Cubik C u b i k. The latter use external power and should be more powerful. There web page is hard to use but here it is: www.paloaltoaudio.com I started out looking for those Rock speakers.

Re: Olypus DM550: Unknown Device error - unable to edit files
Don't have an answer but some guesses. Is the Olympus connected to the pc when you attempt to edit the files? Are the files on the pc? Disconnect the Olympus and reboot before editing one of the files. It sounds like someting is trying to sync files but I don't know how that could effect Gold Wave or Sound Forge 7.

I loned my Olypus DM550 out to someone to record some voice clips along with a dynamic microphone to improve recording quality. The recordings play fine on the recorder itself, and on transfering the file to my PC the files played in Winamp. the problems began when I tried to edit the files in Sound Forge 7. the file will not play at all in SF7; a message pops up unknown device. Editing is impossible too. I then loaded the files into Goldwave. No message but no ability to highlight the file to copy and paste into another program. Converting the file to .wav in Goldwave has made no difference. The Olypus recorder in question was set to .mp3 192kbs. The transfer was via USB, of course. So, any ideas what gives here? It is perplexing to say the least. I did copy the file by kplaying it in Winamp and recording into Sound Forge, but just as well the recordings were very short. Would hate to have to do that with a long recording, not to mention degredation of sound quality. Any answers or pointers very welcome. Thanks.

Re: Olympus DM520 Again
Play menu, playback mode setting, playback area setting, all files playback. I transfer with WMP10. But sometimes just copy and paste using Windows if I'm sure the file is in a compatible format. Something I find difficult is if I set WMP to create folder hierarchy on device, (the default action), it is harder to find the music I want to play. You use the up or down arrows to move to a folder which will be the artist, then the right arrow to move the album list. Then right arrow again to get to the list of files in that folder. The intro playback setting is under display and sound menu.

Re: Laptop speakers question
There are so many laptop speakers out now. The problem is actually getting to hear and compare them before buying. Some are USB powered. Others run on batteries, either replaceable or non-replaceable lithium. Some even have their own sound card. Most sound like small speakers. I've read reviews for some that make big claims and have bought on recommendations to be totally disappointed. I suggest to buy locally if possible from a store that will let you return if not satisfied. If you go online or mail order, you could spend a lot of money returning them if not happy.

Re: what speech device to use on a laptop when playing music question
Ok. With Jaws 10 and later, there is a sound card manager. Main Jaws window, utilities, sound cards sub menu. It is normally set to the windows default sound card but you can set it to the exact device you like. So, if you have built in sound and a USB audio device, you can set jaws to the internal sound card and use sound and audio devices to set the default sound to the external card. This is with XP. Don't know about Vista and 7. If you only want the music from your media player to go to the external sound card, you would leave the internal sound card as your default and change the output in your media player. One thing about USB audio devices. They automatically become the default audio device when plugged in. I forget if there is a way to stop that. You know. After all that, you might be better off with a hardware external speech synthesizer. Only one I know about is the Triple Talk but don't know if is even available.

We have basic access to the main app, but not the vst or dxi stuff natively. That's where the true power of sonar is. Many of these are very graphical, with no way to easily get to sliders and buttons, and this is something that jaws users enjoy with caketalk and jsonar with custom scripting with hotspot clicker. Hotspot clicker has it's limitations too. I have been working with gwmicro to perfect it's own hotspot and it's coming along nicely, but in the mean time, I've been using another third party tool and my knowledge of sonar to script very easily portable scripts for the various plug-ins in sonar, such as the sonitus compressor, equalizer, sessiondrummer3, etc. So far, I've done sessiondrummer 3, which has a 12th channel mixer, and a graphical drum kit, it's completely and easily accessible for a blind person with window-eyes now. Display resolution doesn't matter, this tool I'm using seems to very gracefully handle this. Now what I'm getting at is that I want to offer these scripts for others not for free, but for a very low price. But I don't want to get in to a lot of hand holding, and support issues, I want to reasonably support these products, but I want to offer the benefit of my hard work to others to help bridge the gap for us, and do it so anyone can afford it. I was thinking something like $10 a plug-in. Well, my plug-ins will have custom help, menus, and hot keys and hot strings. Hotstring are cool, because you can type a word or part of a word, followed by an ending character such as period or enter and then trigger the action. Say you want to go to the 10th pan pot on sessiondrummer3 you type p10. and there you are, you have focus and you can move the slider with the arrow keys. Imagine having to do that for about 150 controls finding them manually. Same for playing midi patterns, or routing to the different pads to load different samples. How about hitting ts. for threshold slider and being right there, and then rs. for ratio slider for a compressor, and then jumping over to your output meters or makeup gain to see how the compressor is affecting the signal. The nice thing is that these scripts will watch for the window your in and sit quietly and not do anything till your in the right window. It couldn't be easier to install these scripts, just run the executable and it's working. Completely screen-reader independant, but they make a beautiful companion for our fine screen-reader we all love. And it doesn't matter which version of we you are running or whether scripting is on or off. Anyway, what I have to offer so far is sessiondrummer 3, the sfz soundfont and sample player, both the internal and stand alone versions for sonar 6 and beyond, the sonitus compressor, and just for fun and testing, I did malware bytes to do a few actions that require multiple mouse clicks quickly. Oh yeh, and antares autotune evo has a basic script too. Anyway, I was approached by someone privately off this list who expressed interest and said it was worth something to him, and so not a programmer by nature, I've taken on the challenge of making those of us who love to work with audio and love to use we a little easier. If I get enough interest, I'll start making this available, if not, I'll shut up and go away, and do it for myself. Blessing from us here at Affordable Studio Services. Chris Belle WARNING!!!

Wireless PC Audio USB Sound Card
Interesting new fm transmitter. It's USB powered but is not a sound card. I wonder how good it will be. They claim a Range Up to 160 Feet. Would be cool for my laptop. Bob http://www.hifastonline.com/page8.html To unsubscribe from this list, send a blank email to: pc-audio-unsubscr...@pc-audio.org
