It's easy to get it work again.  Just remove the folders.

I'm quite disappointed that such a product exists.  I strongly suggest

I dislike writing negative comments.  I do so now only because I don't

Re: Question about the accessibility of the Kindle DX?

2011-06-26 Thread mark bishop

Hi
The kindle is amazing.  As a braille reader and somebody who doesn't 
particularly like conventional audio books it has revolutionised my reading. 
About 95 per cent of all the books I have looked are enabled for speech. 
When you first get it some sighted help might be an advantage as you have to 
turn on the speech function.  Although I was able to do this with the help 
of the excellent customer service people telling me how many times to move 
down or up and when to press stuff.  The only thing that is totally not 
accessible is to search for books and download them via the kindle so a 3g 
version isn't worth it.  You should go for the wi-fi version instead.  You 
just go to amazon on you laptop   or pc and select your book you can then 
download it wirelessly which is free straight to your kindle.  You can also 
put other files on there such as pdf but I don't know if these are spoken 
and audio books from audible.com or audible.co.uk.

hope all this isn't too much waffle for you.

From: Hrvoje Katic hrvojeka...@gmail.com
To: skypetalk...@googlegroups.com

Dear friends,

Proud to release exciting new version 0.8 of SkypeTalking. This is the
fourth release, and contains lots of new features and some bug fixes and
improvements as well.
Comparing to first release from February (SkypeTalking 0.5), this is a
big step forward!
Some highlights of this new release are chat monitoring, easy way for
changing a mood text on the fly, improved support for file transfers,
better reporting of call duration, contacts manager and SMS support.
I would like to thank again to all of the contributors, as well as our
second developer Gianluca who has also made a lot of work on V0.8.
Now regarding the translations. The following translations still have to
be updated. They will unfortunately be outdated in 0.8. These are as
follows: czech, spanish, japanese, polish, portuguese and chinese.
All others are updated, including the documentation. I am just unsure
for russian and ukranian readme but whatsnew is translated.
We also simplified the installer, and jfwapi.dll is now automatically
registered, so users running 64-bit JAWS should no longer have problems
with SkypeTalking not detecting JAWS. SkypeTalking can now also be
launched with Alt+Ctrl+Shift+T hot key, which I didn't mentione in
whatsnew, so this will be updated for the next version under 0.8 section.
Everyone here on SkypeTalking mailing list was able to follow how much
work we've made on this new version, and thus every feedback is welcome.
We fixed some bugs, and some may be still present. The one problem that
we are aware of is slower performance with some commands e.g. slow
loading of contacts manager, slow reactions with end call command
(alt+ctrl+shift+end) etc. Another bug is where SkypeTalking will say New
SMS when that's in fact a new file transfer. I also experienced some
interesting problems where some events are not spoken sometimes for some
reason, so I ask myself, if they are spoken in general, then why they
are sometimes ignored for no reason, even if ignoring is off. I hope
that we will be able to address these bugs, but in general the program
should work quite well.
Here comes the complete list of new features copied from what's new
document as well as the download link for both portable and installer
versions of SkypeTalking 0.8.

New: Added the ability to monitor active chats, in other words, opened
chat windows. Use keystrokes Alt+Ctrl+Shift+Function keys F1 through F10
to set monitor on one of the last 10 active chats (press twice to bring
focus to that chat window). You can then use Alt+Ctrl+Shift+Numbers for
reading last 10 messages in currently monitored chat. Pressing
Alt+Ctrl+Shift+C will announce currently monitored chat, and pressing it
twice will bring focus to that chat window.
New: Added the ability to read and/or change your Skype mood text.
Pressing Alt+Ctrl+Shift+M will speak your current mood text, and
pressing it twice will open a dialog box that lets you change your mood
text.
New: Alt+Ctrl+Shift+O command reports the current user online status,
and when pressed twice, will report the user's current balance on a
Skype credit.
New: Added command for speaking the current call duration, 
Alt+Ctrl+Shift+D.

New: Added contacts Manager, accessed with Alt+Ctrl+Shift+F11, which is
the alternative to Skype contact list. It will display your contacts in
a multi-select list box allowing you to select them with a spacebar and
perform various actions on them such as Call, Chat or View Profile. It
will also display the Last Seen information for offline contacts, which
is inaccessible with some Skype versions and to some screen readers such
as NVDA. The View Profile action will open a profile viewer that will
allow you to review the selected contact's details by using the Tab and
Shift+Tab and the arrow keys. The Call and Chat actions are
self-describing. Pressing Alt+Ctrl+Shift+F11 twice will focus the
original Skype contact list. If multiple contacts are selected, then you
will have options for creating a conference or a multi-chat.
New: Added commands for answering and ending a call, Alt+Ctrl+Shift+Home
and Alt+Ctrl+Shift+End (not on the NumPad). Pressing Alt+Ctrl+Shift+Home
during a call will toggle between hold and resume for the current call.
Pressing Alt+Ctrl+Shift+Home twice quickly will answer and join the
incoming call to a conference. Pressing Alt+Ctrl+Shift+End twice quickly
will toggle microphone mute or unmute.
New: Added support for sending SMS with SkypeTalking. The command
Alt+Ctrl+Shift+S will now open an SMS wizard which will allow you to
send SMS to any phone number. There are two

Well, I don't know just what Hal is but most mp3 players have a USB 
interface port and come with a USB cable.  All you do is connect the 
player to a USB port on a computer that has the mp3's you want on the 
player.  You just select them and do a ctrl-c then alt tab to your 
player (it should just appear as a removable disk drive) and do a ctrl-v 
to paste the songs onto the player.  Just that easy!  When you tire of 
what's on it, just delete them and repeat the process to put on new 
material anytime you wish.

 without
 any modification.  It's also nice that the voice tagging of menus and 
 songs
 is done automatically by iTunes once the feature is activated in the
 software.  Rockbox is nice also, but there's no automated way of voice

 Hi Stephen, I have not played with one so am going based on what I've
 read,
 but it appears that what happens is that when your nano is connected to
 your
 PC or Mac, a scan is made for all albums and songs on your nano. Using
 your
 default system voice, say RealSpeak Daniel in SAPI 5 as an example, 
 files
 are generated for every artist, song and album. These are then copied to
 your Nano so that as you move through the menus, albums and tracks, you
 can
 hear what these tracks are. So this is quite different from having real
 text
 to speech on the device itself, and emulates what the guys at Rockbox 
 gave
 us quite some time ago, but is still commendable nonetheless.

 Jonathan, so, when you have the new Nano hooked up to your pc, it feeds
 off
 the TTS you are running and loads it on to the Nano, or am I way off.

 Does the Nano require you to install software to have speech?

 Alex and all, the new iPod Nanos are sort of accessible but do not use
 text
 to speech. They use the technique Rockbox has used for around 5 years,
 where
 they use your default system voice on your PC/Mac to create files that
 live
 on the nano to announce menus, albums and songs.

 In terms of iTunes in Windows, iTunes 8 has implemented extensive use of
 Microsoft Active Accessibility (MSAA). Because of this, JAWS will be 
 able
 to
 work well out of the box with iTunes once we enable MSAA support for
 iTunes
 in the next public beta of JAWS 10. I have just been testing this today
 and
 am able to use the iTunes Music Store, the Radio feature and many 
 others.
 Apple have done a good job here.

Hello there,
You can simply go to the file folder of each rip and select individual 
songs. Then, copy and drag over to CD drive.Once you've moved all the songs 
you want, tab over once, followed by down arrow to 'burn to disc.' That 
should then open WMP and you may have to tab over and hit the ‘start burn’ 
button.
HTH!
Once you’ve put all song files there, tab over once, and then arrow down to 
burn

 Hi,

 I ripped all the CDs I want to WMP. Now I want to burn songs from each of 
 the CDS, but not every song on every CD. I inserted a blank CD, but am 
 stuck on what to do next. I looked at the help for burning CDs, and it 
 says I need to create a list and need to drag items to there. I use Jaws. 
 What do I need to do and how do I do it to burn the songs I want?

 Thank you.

 Interesting post Steve, and I'm coming at this from your
 recommmendation of the Electrovoice RE20.

 Very good mic, and I believe Paul McCartney is a fan of it.  Just one
 slight caution though:  its a pretty low output mic and, unless you've
 a low noise pre-amp with plenty of gain, you're gonna have to get nice
 up-n-close.  Then again, that's another of the virtues of the RE20;
 it can stand a lot of close work without poppping and thumping, but
 within limits.  Very nice natural tone or voicing to this mic.

 I like a bit of acoustic or ambiance to my voice recordingand when
 used further away, then the RE20 needs a good 60Db of gain or more in
 the pre amps.  Lower end mixers don't cut it in this respect.

 I've bought a couple off eBay where you can get them for quite a nice
 price.

 HTH.

 Hi, Auj:

 On Sun, 20 Jan 2008 14:29:22 +, you wrote:

 I would like to make a recording of my voice; rather, a demo so I
 can get
some voiceover work.  What would be the best software program to use
 to
make this recording, and then burn a cd for shopping my demo?

 I'm going to assume you've invested heavily in a good--no, a very
 good--microphone and front-end mixer or pre-amp.  Neuman not
 necessary, but a good Electro-Voice microphone like the RE20 is what
 you *really* want, especially if you *really* mean it about making
 good recordings. It's all about the microphone.  The Schure SM57's or
 '58's are good, too, but ya know what?  After being a confirmed Schure
 fan for nearly 30 years, and loving my SM57's, I tried the Re20 and
 was totally blown away by its very lifelike reproduction.  It gave my
 Internet radio shows a whole new and much more likable sound, in my
 unhumble opinion.  Audiotechnica makes nice microphones, too, but I've
 also been an E-V fan for probably close to 40 years, since the old
 676's were popular, and they've never let me down.  Cost a bit more,
 but if you're real serious about this, that's where you should spend
 your $$$.

 Now, as for recordingware, if you're only interested in making short
 voice-over-type recordings, look no further than good old Windows
 Sound Recorder (Programs / Acessories / Entertainment).  No frills--no
 features,either--just start it up, and start talking.  It also has a
 time limit of either 30 or 60 seconds, I forget which.  The point is,
 for what you want to do, it's perfect in every way--captures your
 voice, costs you nothing.

 Of course, if you're going to have to edit and produce your own
 things, then we're talkin' several knotches up the scale.  Goldwave,
 Sound Forge, CoolEdit, all good.  They all do essentially the same
 things, but with different looks and feels.

 To burn your CD, there are also lots of choices, all of which do the
 same thing, but with different looks and feels.  Easy CDDA Extractor
 is my personal fave, but lots of folks like CD Mate or Easy CD
 Creator, or even Nero Burning ROM, which, at its current version and
 level of sophistication, I think is way over the top for what you want
 to do and what you need.  But it's something to graduate to. In the
 end, it doesn't do anything to a CD that any of the aforementioned
 programs do, it just offers other options (like DVD production) that
 you haven't mentioned you need.  I'm a firm believer in focusing more
 on useability and functionality (which aren't the same thing at all)
 rather than bells and whistles I might (or might not) need down the
 road.  OK, a little expandability is a good thing, sure, but why buy a
 20-room house if I'm probably never going to have a large family?  OK,
 so down the road you may wind up having wasted a little money on
 having to buy the same thing twice, once with one set of extra
 features and once with another, but sometimes that's the price one is
 required to pay when one is feeling one's way into a new line.

 Good luck, and let us know where we can download some samples.

 Hi Gail.  The best way I have found is to use a programme called Gold

 It is relatively easy to use and works well with JAWS.  I have used it for 
 a
 similar purpose as you have in mind.  You can download the trial version 
 and
 if you like it you can purchase a licence which is around $50 Canadian.

 Dain,
 Yes, I would expect that it would be more usable for Mac users, lol,
 considering how it was developed in the first place. i've heard one demo
 with the new Apple voiceover interface and can see that it might be doable
 if i had a Mac, but so far I can't even figure out the installation, much
 less anything else. From what I gleaned from Brian's website, I'm not even
 sure whether he is still working on the scripts. He indicated that it 
 should
 be possible to import podcast feeds to Juice, and since the itunes store
 sounds to be only partially accessible I see little reason to fight with a
 program that is likely to be more frustrating than not, see other message.
 Glad it is working for you and whoever else, though.

 Itunes is a complete music manager, Play MP3's, buy music over the
 Internet, subcribe, download and manage podcasts etc.
 Is it accessible? Depends on who you talk to I guess. If you own a
 Mac then the answer is a definate yes. Having said that though, I'm
 aware of many users who use Windows who access the software without
 (it seems) too much trouble, I guess its the old saying, if you want
 to access something and you sit down for 3 minutes to have a look at
 what you're trying to access then its likely that you'll find some
 way around the problem.

I don't want to scare you off, but it isn't going to be quite that
 simple. You have to make sure you buy an iPod that will work with
 Rockbox. When you're putting Rockbox on an MP3 player, you're replacing
 that MP3 players firmware. Right now those instructions are manual, and
 my experience, is that if you follow them scrupulously, you shouldn't
 have any problems. The instructions are specific to each player. Once
 you have Rockbox installed, you can copy a voice file over that will
 give you talking menus. The files and directories on your MP3 player
 will be spelled out or you'll just hear things like File 1, Folder
 1, ..., unless you run a tool that will place files on your MP3 player
 recording the name of the files and folders you want spoken. Rockbox
 doesn't put a TTS on your MP3 player, but rather it allows the firmware
 to play pre-recorded sound bytes for menu entries, file names and so on.

 Like I said, I don't want to scare anyone off, but this isn't a plug
 and play solution. You'll have to be willing to do some research, some
 reading and ask some questions. It may take a little while. IMHO, it's
 worth it, and I love my iRiver H20 with Rockbox, but if people don't
 want to be disappointed they need to know what they're getting into.

 Rockbox is free. Not sure how much an iPod Nano costs, but I got a 30GB
 video for $249.99 plus tax at Best Buy and use Rockbox on it with little
 trouble.  There are a couple features such as the plugins that don't 
 work
 with speech, but as far as finding my music, manipulating the settings,
 and
 things like that, I have no trouble as a totally blind user...And, it's

 The ONLY drawback to Rockbox on an iPod, which doesn't seem to be a

 on other players, is that it has way less battery life between charges.

 Ok, again let's look at player affordability, is $40.00 too expensive
 to get a player to play FLAC content? Is the price of an Ipod Nano
 and a few minutes of time to install Rockbox too much to ask to play
 FLAC content? Is say 5 minutes too long to download extra plug-ins
 for your media player on your computer so that you can play AAC+ and
 enjoy the benefits? All the new players I'm seeing are handling these
 formats by default, my LG Mobile even handles them I've found so

 to get a player to play FLAC content? Is the price of an Ipod Nano
 and a few minutes of time to install Rockbox too much to ask to play
 FLAC content? Is say 5 minutes too long to download extra plug-ins
 for your media player on your computer so that you can play AAC+ and
 enjoy the benefits? All the new players I'm seeing are handling these
 formats by default, my LG Mobile even handles them I've found so
 company's are adapting.

 Of course this is relative to those who can afford the players to
 play those
 other formats.

 The excuses for using mp3 are what they always were: 1. What's the
 original like, 2.  What do I want to play it on, and, of course,
 3.  How much do I want to bring with me.

 Hi,
 Mp3 is just kids stuff. grin
 Use one of the lossless formats instead.
 Even the wma lossless is much better then good old mp3.
 But when the net was young mp3 was easy to encode and a great
 alternative to nothing.

 Today there are other much better formats out there, and they deserve

 to be used.

 Best regards

 Well I can't really tell that much difference; and I've burned a
 couple MP3
 music CD's and they sound pretty good.  I use CDex's Lame encoder.
 I like
 the sound quality, and I could save a lot of room by putting ten
 CD's
 worth
 of music on one MP3 CD.

 They don't as I understand it though I've heard of some who say
 that
 MP3'S are nearly as good as the original if you use LAME and a
 couple
 of custom settings, the view seems to be now that its hard to tell
 the difference between original and MP3 version but who gives a
 damn
 anyway smile, MP3 is becoming old hack now, make

I hope this topic isall right although it is not specifically blind related.  I 
have been using skype for just a week or so and have now downloaded skype pro, 
but I don't know if I need to do anything now or whether I am already getting 
the free calls and all the other benefits.  Any help will be welcome.

Re: Downloading and Running Skype

2007-06-25 Thread mark bishop
I have skype, I want to purchase some of the extras such as credit so that I 
can make calls to landlines and mobiles.  However, I don't remember any of 
my details for my skype account, I cannot remember setting one up.  I have 
been on the site and I cannot find a link for setting up an account or a 
link for someone who has forgotten all their details.  Can you help?

 Hi.  In her original message, she says,
 when I attempted to run the set-up, I got the bonk of the
  crash sound and a message saying that the program was not Windows
  compatible.

 This leads me to believe that the download failed, so there is no
 real program to uninstall.  I would say, the best thing to do is to
 atempt to re-download the skype setup program and this time, make
 sure the program is fully downloaded.  You can do this by
 occasionally reading the windows title bar while the download is
 progressing.  If it gets to 100 percent, you have the entire file and
 you're set.
 Press insert plus t for JAWS or System access, or insert plus w for
 Window-eyes.  If you're using a laptop layout, use the appropriate
 keys for that.  That should take care of it though.

  Hello,
 
  I hope someone can help me. I tried to download the program to my hard
  drive, and when I attempted to run the set-up, I got the bonk of the
  crash sound and a message saying that the program was not Windows
  compatible. I made sure that I was on the Skype for Windows link when I
  downloaded, so I am baffled. I use IE 7.0. Any help is greatly
  appreciated.
