Hello everyone, I am considering migrating to Adobe Audition. However, I was wondering how accessible the latest version is with a screen reader. I am using Window-Eyes as my reader. Thank you. To unsubscribe from this list, send a blank email to: pc-audio-unsubscr...@pc-audio.org

Hi Sam, My view might be a little subjective but from what I've tried out in the past when I got myself Adobe Audition just to take a look at it got totally worse than e.g. 2.1 version of Adobe Audition when you know they changed their label from Cool Edit which was the predecessor of that

Samyuel, I am a Window-Eyes user and I used Adobe Audition in its early days and CoolEdit before then which Adobe purchased. The current version of Audition conveys information to screen readers using other methods that are not evident from the screen. Mostly, I think MSAA is used, although

Your cautions are legitimate, but there were some changes that were intended to help screen readers between Adobe audition 2 and 3. I have not experimented enough to know where things are now, but if someone has a reason to want to use Audition, I really think it is worth trying the demo to

Guys, I need to find a method for ripping audio cassettes. I know there are cassette decks with USB ports on them, but I need to find accessible software to do the ripping. I'm getting this as a Christmas present for my sweetheart, who is using JAWS 13 and a Windows 7 machine. Also, if

I use Soundforge and some times Audio Additon for converting cassettes to digital format. Unfortunately, this requires real time recording. Then you can save the file in whatever format you wish to be [placed onto an IDevice or cd or other audio player. -Original Message- From:

Thanks Dan. I've heard of Soundforge. If I recall correctly, it's a comprehensive audio program, with a fairly steep learning curve, which would be intimidating to the person who wants to convert the cassettes, and also not cheap. Please correct me if I am wrong on any of this. I haven't heard

Hi Evan, Does your girl friend have a Plextalk? If yes, she can hook it up to a cassette player, with a patch cord and record the casette to the flash card of the Plextalk. Then tell the Plextalk to convert that Daisy recording to CDDA format and it will record this onto a blank disk. She can

I recently transferred a slew of music and spoken word cassettes from an APH talking book cassette player with a wire-like cable with one-eighth-inch jacks at each end and the microphone jack of my computer. APH's cassette players were reasonably high quality. Initially there was some guesswork

That's kind of more then necessary. Now he said she doesn't have one, but the easiest thing to do especially if we were dealing with the ever so cool and awesome PTR2 is just hook it up to the PC in it's card drive mode and go into the Book DIR 01 folder and pick out the WAV or MP3 files. I'd do

Hi, Yeah that's right you don't need to purchase any expensive device for that purpose as it's enought to hook it up to the computer using the line-in cable with jacks 3,5 mm on both ends, setting up your sound card (recording tab and line-in mode the command line mmsys.cpl) and a good radio
