Jason, Have a look at the Play menu and you'll find the keystrokes you need, plus some more. In addition to those mentioned by Jeffrey, fast forward is Control + Shift + F and rewind is Control + Shift + B. I think they are only available if the author of the track has built the functionality in, as quite often they are not available. When they are available, I find I can press Control + Shift + F and it starts jumping forward, then press Control + P to pause and then Control + P again to start at normal speed from the new place. There is a play speed submenu that is only available when something is playing, but I find it very handy; Control + Shift + G is like speeding up a tape and Control + Shift + N puts it back to normal speed. And Control + Shift + S slows it down.

When the sound is playing, use the control+p to pause, and hitting it a second time will resume playing. This will avoid restarting at the beginning of the file every time after you've used the control+s to stop. If the podcast isn't separated into tracks, tab around until you hear a slider control that reads a percent. If you're focused on that, right arrow will jump you ahead, and left back. Unfortunately, I haven't found a way to adjust the increment for the jump, so you can move rather large distances when often you'd rather go back just a little bit.

I am trying to work out how to pause, fast forward and rewind when listening to something with windows media player on my desktop. For example, I like to listen to podcasts such as that on Blind Cool tech etc. I sometimes listen to these several times, especially those which give instructional information I want to follow. I did an incert H to look at the hot keys for the program. Using alt S will stop the podcast. Alt P will start playing it again. However, it starts from the start of the podcast. If I have already listened to the podcast before, I may want to skip forward to the secttion I want. Using the hotkey of alt F doesn't seem to do anything. Does anyone know what I am doing wrong? Being able to pause, fast forward and rewind, will be very handy when trying to follow David's very helpfull tutorials. At moment, I often use a hand recorder to do the job. I am using windows XP home, Jaws 8 Pro and windows media 10 I think it is, but not sure. thanks a lot Jason Visit the JAWS Users List home page at: http://www.jaws-users.com Address for the list archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected] To post to this group, send email to [email protected] To unsubscribe from this group, send an email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] For help from Mailman with your account Put the word help in the subject or body of a blank message to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Use the following form in order to contact the management team http://www.jaws-users.com/managers.php If you wish to join the Blind Computing list send a blank email to the following address: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Visit the JAWS Users List home page at: http://www.jaws-users.com Address for the list archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected] To post to this group, send email to [email protected] To unsubscribe from this group, send an email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] For help from Mailman with your account Put the word help in the subject or body of a blank message to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Use the following form in order to contact the management team http://www.jaws-users.com/managers.php If you wish to join the Blind Computing list send a blank email to the following address: [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- DISCLAIMER: NOTICE: The information contained in this email and any attachments is confidential and may be privileged.
