Re: mass format changing?
Re: mass format changing? Audacity should be able to do this as well, though it may take some care.There is a built-in mp3 conversion macro already, and you should be able to create others:tools->macros->apply macro to files.You might also look up pazera audio extracter: it's aimed at pulling audio tracks from video files, but it should be able to do audio to audio conversion.

Re: Nuking thousands of messages in Gmail
Re: Nuking thousands of messages in Gmail I had to try and do this with my sent box, though I was comparatively lucky with only a couple thousand messages.The best way is a mail client - if you can actually get it to empty out your all mail folder as well (because the emails will just sit there if you don't). The alternative if you want to stay in Gmail itself appears to be, unfortunately, set page size to max, select all, delete. Repeat forever.If you do want to keep the emails somewhere else, a mail client will be able to move them to a subfolder quite simply, as well.Finally, your last ditch desperation option is to make a new gmail account, switch to that, and just delete the old one - though I'm struggling to come up with a really good reason for doing so.Even today I have the sneaking suspicion that I missed some "delete everything" button in my research, but said research happened in numerous fairly thorough sessions, so I'm confident enough to be willing to post the results here.

Re: Looking for keyword to text conversion tools
Re: Looking for keyword to text conversion tools @KenshiraTheTrinity:I did not get your message; please do try the contact form.@Dardar:If you're going to try translating them, start with text files, not braille (and more power to you).You will probably need a hex editor, since traditional text editors can't (or don't) see the first 600 bytes or so of the files. When working in braille, you'd have the additional complication of translating the representation back into text, before attempting to reverse engineer the actual file format itself.If you really want to work with braille, get some brf files to translate first, since they're the braille equivalent of plain text (with the only complication being determining what braille grade they're written in).It's possible to rip most of the meaningful content out of the files with care, but that's really not a method suitable for anything other than desperation on a personal level, since (in my experience) you'll get a fairly raw and unformatted text stream.

Re: Domino's Pizza Petitions Supreme Court Over ADA Compliance
Re: Domino's Pizza Petitions Supreme Court Over ADA Compliance There are three points worth making here.First, while I wouldn't put it nearly as harshly, I'm in agreement with 14 here. When I first heard about this lawsuit last weekend, the first thing I did was go online, and run through the order process. For the record, while not perfect, it is accessible if you take a few minutes to figure out where all the prompts are appearing on screen (they usually show up at the bottom, but without moving your cursor or announcing anything, so you need to jump back to the start of the order section repeatedly). After my first few runs, I suspect it would be faster for me to use their website than to call in on the phone.Second, is that if the chain did blatantly dismiss a request for help, frivolous or not, then my sympathies for them are going to be reduced quite a lot. Whether or not you choose to make all avenues accessible (I've seen the def using voice conferencing via voice recognition, for instance), throwing an arrogant denial at somebody basically signs you up for trouble, and at least partially deserved trouble, at that.Third and finally, is that there are way too many of these lawsuits going on right now. This is not the first time I've heard of somebody getting sued for accessibility, gone on their website, and done exactly what the plaintiff claims they couldn't... usually in under five minutes. I'm aware that there are different levels of screen reader and internet familiarity out there, and that different people will have different amounts of trouble with certain websites, but the sheer number of legal complaints about issues that aren't nearly as bad as the plaintiffs describe gives our community a bad name and image. As a member of said community, I'm more likely to find myself embarrassed than supportive when I read yet another article about somebody suing yet another company over their website, when there's far, far worse accessibility in massively mainstream products that we could all benefit from (can anybody site me to a fully accessible and commonly used piece of personal finance software?)

Re: Help with hazing issue (may get controversial)
Re: Help with hazing issue (may get controversial) I am very much with everyone whose saying to take this to the appropriate authorities, since attacking this individual directly will likely get them to escalate, and unless your friend is (a) a trained fighter, or (b) able to keep someone (or multiple someones) around them 24/7 as backup, they're going to get hurt, possibly badly.That's obviously not what you want to have happen, so going against the attacker directly isn't your best option. Taking the texts to as many people as possible is. This includes parents, school officials, police, and maybe even the media if the issue persists.Also, you probably want to make sure that multiple groups see the messages at once. If the school ignores you, your (or your friend's) parents may not.Additionally, presuming this is in the U.S (other countries are probably similar), I feel it important to point out that at least one, and likely multiple crimes *have* been committed here. Assault and battery (two different things) for sure. If a weapon was involved (I sincerely hope not), it could even be aggravated battery, which is a felony. I'm not as up on my digital crimes and hate speech law, but both of those are possibilities.No matter what you decide to do, do it carefully. Your friend is definitely in physical danger, and you and your other friends may be as well.

Re: Accessible drive cloning software?
Re: Accessible drive cloning software? I'm going to presume that you're dealing with windows on both ends of the copy here, and that your new drive is as large as or larger than the source *partition* you're copying. If it isn't, shrink the partition first (diskpart or windows disk management), and then keep reading.I have two software options and one hardware, depending on if you have access to eyeballs or not, enough to read you a few bios-like screens.If you do, the simplest method to clone a drive (I've done this - it's pretty much effortless) is to make a system image, take out your old drive, put in the new one, and use a system repair disk to restore the image to the new drive. It'll take maybe half an hour and you're done.The next option I'd look into is a piece of software called Drive Image xml. It's free for home use, and can copy any partition you want. Especially useful if you don't have access to eyeballs.Finally, if you look around, you can find hardware bridges designed to let you connect multiple drives, some of which will have copy abilities: you connect both drives (in the proper order), and press the copy button.

Re: Linux information for a completely blind user with a verry old laptop
Re: Linux information for a completely blind user with a verry old laptop @Jace:I'm not arguing that Mate isn't usable. I'm arguing that its a lot more difficult than windows, and not as intrinsically workable.Were I to grade the applications I've tried using, it'd be about two thirds as accessible as windows, and not always cut and dry (bleachbit, for instance, looks accessible but then you can't actually select any of the checkboxes for what you want it to clean). I could point out a couple more examples of software I use on a regular basis that didn't work under mate for similar reasons. This doesn't mean there aren't solutions, because there are. They require more research and work to figure out, which is not user-friendly if you're new to the OS, and especially so if you just converted a primary machine, because some of the aforementioned challenges are in web browsers.@Angel:Which processes are using up your CPU? If you can detect those, you can figure out how to get rid of them, which should fix your machine. The symptoms you're describing are clasic "I'm-doing-to-much-at-once" complaints. Do you have AVG, Norton or MCAfee antivirus installed? If so, removing them may solve the problem (windows 10 comes with defender, and multiple antivirus products installed at the same time can cause conflicts).

Re: Linux information for a completely blind user with a verry old laptop
Re: Linux information for a completely blind user with a verry old laptop Based on what I'm reading in this thread, it seems as though the problem isn't windows so much as it is some piece of software running constantly and hogging your resources.I'd advise trying to resolve that problem first before you attempt an OS switch. Moving to linux is not going to be easy. The installation is the simplest part of the process by leaps and bounds,.You should probably bring up task manager (ctrl shift escape), select the details tab and the "show processes from all users button), sort by CPU and or ram usage, and figure out whose using up your resources. Once you know that, we can start helping you resolve the issue.It is technically possible to use a linux machine for daily computing tasks as a VI/blind person. It is quite a bit more painful, and you will be doing massive amounts of research to figure out simple things (like where to find flash drives once plugged in for example).

Re: Converting from .brf to .doc or .docx
Re: Converting from .brf to .doc or .docx There's not a lot of easy ways, since you need a system that's able to read .brf files and there just aren't a lot of those around.Specifically, I do not believe that there is a *free* application for windows capable of doing the job. You'd think it would be fairly simple to write, but since Braille has so many small rules and corner cases, even the programs that do exist aren't 100% perfect.Math makes this even harder, especially if you're dealing with complex symbols (multi-character ones, for example). If you're creating these documents, your best bet is to create them in a text-based format to start with (using a laptop, for example).If you don't have any other option than to use brf, I've got a braille note here that can convert between brf and rtf/doc/txt, and would be happy to run files through it for you.

Re: A Little Decoding Challenge
Re: A Little Decoding Challenge Hi folks,I just went to put together a third sample of text, and discovered to my horror that my encoder had a small glitch that was causing it to omit a character. Since this character never appeared in the section I'd done by hand, it looked like everything was fine when I reversed the process.Let this be a warning to everyone: do not develop software hastily. It will come back to bite you.I've repaired the encoder and re-processed both the existing long sample and my new one, which is about 2.5 times longer. Because of the nature of the glitch, a sizeable portion of the messages have changed slightly. The underlying scheme has not, however, and the changes should be easily noticeable and may even give you some clues.I'm very sorry for the mixup; hopefully having the longer text and ability to cross-reference against the old example will make up for the loss of time.All the examples are on the site at:https://nightvista.net/decoding-challengeAs I add more text, I've been considering creating a zip file of "resources", including files for each sample.

Re: microsoft-espeak-forked tts
Re: microsoft-espeak-forked tts I can't say I'm a particular fan of this idea on a couple grounds.Firstly, is the fact you're talking about microsoft doing this.Microsoft is a large commercial company. They aren't an open source community. That means that if they do make a synth out of espeak, its not going to be open source, and its not going to be moddable like espeak is.In addition, the synth is almost certainly only going to work on windows 10 (just like you can't get the windows 10 voices for 7 or xp). I'm not starting the os debate again, but am going to point out that most of this community probably won't be able to use it in the near future.I'd also like to respond to your mention of Android.I'm really not sure why you'd think Microsoft would make their synth available for Android (or any other competitor). You're more likely to get a windows specific patent than you are a cross-platform program.

Re: The Coolest Little Computer!
Re: The Coolest Little Computer! [I began writing this, checked out the specs and came back to write more, so the below is a bit messy.]This appears to be a device intended to work with tvs, not a standalone computer. The description page doesn't say where it gets its audio output from, or for that matter what its power requirements are. I suspect the power draw, especially with radios on, is going to be more like 10 watts once you start working with it - certainly small for any laptop (which can usually draw up to 50 or 60), but not unremarkable. That also doesn't include any USB devices you have connected.An above post mentioned the portability of it as well, and I've got to agree. A bluetooth keyboard is probably going to be large, and frankly that's going to kill the "tiny computer" aspect rather handily. Some other notes follow:*An external hard disk can be expected to draw 2.5w (we're talking the 2.5" disks here - not the 3.5" ones that require a separate power supply) via USB, especially once it starts working on something.*Its actually 256 gb of storage, which is really more like 230 real gb after the manufacturer conversion. Either way, that's a solid ssd. Disable the swap file, use it, and forget about it. You're not going to kill that unless you try darn hard. I'd recommend bring a flash drive for file transfers as needed or just to store work you need to be able to access anywhere; there's no need to bring a whole hdd for storing word files, and you're probably at more risk of physical damage than with a flash drive.*I did some amazon searching for external batteries, and it looks like there are actually some pretty large "charger packs" out there. They appeared to check in at $30-$50 (I was skipping over pricing for the most part though). If our 10w estimate is accurate and the devices run on standard 5v USB (I couldn't find voltage listed on the product pages), yo u might be looking at more than 8 hours of runtime from a full charge (one of the larger ones advertised 16000mah, 16000*5v=8mwh=80wh by my rough math), which should be more than enough to keep you happy.Overall this is certainly interesting, and I wish you luck with it.

Re: flac(lossless) vs mp3 (320 bitrate) - music files
Re: flac(lossless) vs mp3 (320 bitrate) - music files I for one dont notice the difference between wav audio straight from cd and 128kbps mp3 at all.The only time Ill get any kind of an issue is when down converting a recording of a game or something like that, where the mp3 will distort. For music ripping though, Ive never noticed even the slightest difference.Given that a flac cd requires 150+mb (iirc a 44.1/16 cd was 300mb or so), Im quite happy with my mp3s.Personally, Im of the opinion that those folks who try to start using flac on their tablets/phones/other devices with 8-16gb of storage are in for some fun.

Re: Accessible email client I personally use windows live mail 2009.Its a really easy to use interface (mail folders in a tree on the left, tab to the list of messages on the right, tab again to read the message). Its got support for pop3, imap and http (microsoft hotmail). Its also a great feed reader (though some figiting may be needed for some sites).The reason I specify 2009 in particular is that its got menus, as opposed to those blasted ribbons. In order to get a hold of it youll want to do some googling (windows live 2009 full setup is what I used), as its no longer the official version.

Re: Have I just killed my Apex?
Re: Have I just killed my Apex? Ive had a similar thing to this happen to my apex, though granted not while updating.Ill go through all possible steps, some of which youve already done:soft reset (probably impossible at this point) just press reset and let it run.hard reset (power off) hold down reset for 5 seconds until it beeps, release button and let it boot. Same as removing battery, and youve already tried it.jkl/456 reset: hold down the keys, press reset (or hold it until beep), release reset button. Hold keys for a bit (I do until the percentage changes), then release.sdf/123 reset: same as above, accept using different keys. This is a different form of reset than the jkl, but how Im not exactly certain. It has something to do with deleting settings or clearing other data.service reset does not exist anymore (thats only m power/earlier), at least as far as I know and have been able to find out.As a final conclusion, I will say that its extremely, extremely difficult to really break these things either by accident or intentionally. That said, you really might be stuck. If the tech on the phone shut you down quickly Id almost advise you to try calling again and see if you get a more forthcoming person, as most of the ones Ive dealt with will give you more data than you seem to have received.

Re: using speedfan with nvda
Re: using speedfan with nvda Keep in mind that if your fan speed is going up, its probably doing it for a reason. Entombed, as I recall, was not exactly processor friendly, and it does not take much to make a laptop want to cool off. If when you first turn the machine on the fan is not at full blast, then its operating properly. Its important to remember that a laptop processor can go over the boiling point; you really dont want to turn the fan down unless you know for an absolute certainty its not because of the machine simply heating up as it works. If you do mess with it and your chip overheats, youre running a risk of damaging the computer (I have heard of processors literally melting themselves into the motherboard).

Re: Using Seagate Backup Plus as internal drive?
Re: Using Seagate Backup Plus as internal drive? I have a backup+ drive, and will give you info based on that, but dont take it as the holy grail; I dont know much about external drives being converted, other than its possible.My drive is in two pieces: the hard disk enclosure, and a small device on the bottom of the drive where the power cable and usb cable plug into.This bottom device can be removed from the enclosure (though it may take a little bit of pressure/force), and is actualy functional for any standard sata drive.This leads me to believe that what youve got is a standard internal hard disk, which would of course have normal sata data and power cable connectors.Youll need to crack the enclosure open, somehow remove the drive, and then hook it up using normal cables (presuming, of course, your model is the same as mine).

Re: Is this hard drive dead?
Re: Is this hard drive dead? This post is really random, so heads up.I think youre probably looking at a disk that could (and likely will) fail very, very shortly.Were I you, Id run a data recovery program like Piriforms recuva (if you can get it to work for that drive anymore), get everything you can off, and consign it to whatever place you have for dead disks.Ill try to answer a couple of your questions though:As far as bad sectors goes, once you get bad sectors on a disk, its pretty much toast (or about to be so). The hardware itself is failing. You cant do something like mark some spots bad and keep going; with an hdd, its literally a piece of the material going bad somehow. The basic idea is: bad sectors=get a new disk.Its probably stuck formatting because something in between the drive and machines having issues, or maybe because the drive itself is toast already and the self monitoring stuff doesnt realize it yet. Im really not sure what could be causing the issue, but you can try to diagnose it.If you really, really want to try to get this disk to work, connect it directly into a desktop, and try and see what you can do. Cut out the middleman of the usb to whatever connector that its using, and see if that helps you access it.In the end whether or not you can use the disk really depends on what got damaged; if its something in the external drive case then the disk itself may be fine and perfectly usable. On the other hand, a hard disk spins a little metal disk around at either 5400 or 7200 rpm. If the heads crashed into that disk from the impact, its basically going to annihilate the platter. Given that something as small as a fingerprint can horribly corrupt a drive, if youve got physical damage done to the data storage area, its all over.In the end, even if you do get this working, Id hesitate to store anything important on it, at least not for a while. Ive seen a disk warn it was failing, run just fine for another week ish, and then simply cut out and never spin up again. That said, if you manage to install the disk and it works fine for an extended period of time, it was probably something in the external case and the disk is safe to use.

Re: Demons
Re: Demons I read this topic earlier and it keeps coming back to me, so I feel like I aught to, in the spirit of things, offer what advice/thoughts I can.Please take this in the spirit its written; I intend no insult/disrespect to anyone.Rach Rach, you spoke a lot of having a logical side and an emotional side in conflict, and thats what Id like to try to answer to, if I can.At least for me, theres often times no answer for logic to give; we are, for better or worse, creatures of emotion. Thats just the way things are, and it gives emotion a hideous edge over anything else. Its incredibly easy to fixate on something, to let emotion dominate everything. It doesnt have to be triggered by something obvious; thoughts can just creep up out of nowhere and leave us incapable of considering anything else.Personally, I realized a while ago that logic wouldnt cut it for me, and that if I wanted to succeed with my goals, that I needed to have something to fall back on when logic (often) failed to make any headway. My solution was this:Firstly, I decided which way I wanted things to go. For some folks this might take the form of balancing a checkbook style analysis, but Im certain others would have other ways of making the decision. The important part is that, at the end of the process, youve got the direction youd prefer to travel firmly in mind. You understand the costs and the gains, and why you chose the way you did.Next, I took that direction, and said that it was the direction I was going to take, period end of story. Take an oath, write it down, do whatever makes sense, as long as you do something thats meaningful to you, sealing the decision in stone. Make your choice immutable, unchangeable, as factual as 2+2=4, as rooted in the world as gravity or the passage of time.Now, whenever something challenges the direction youve chosen, simply remember that you chose befor e, and that choice hasnt changed. Dont fight for a logical reason, dont fight because you think whatever youre fighting is wrong or strange. Fight simply because the fight is what you chose; make the act of fighting for what you decided the reason to keep going. Whenever youre tempted by something, remind yourself that you made a choice, and that you made that choice for a reason. Id like to say more, to try to offer something else, but I think much of what I could has already been said, in ways far better than I could manage. Thus, Ill leave with this:Im amazed at the level of personal strength it took to come and make these posts, to stand up in front of thousands of people and show your challenges to the world. It takes a lot of fortitude to do that, especially considering that theres no way to predict how your messages would be taken. I hope that, in some way, I can contribute to the tales told here, even if its just in some little fashion.I wish you the best of luck, whichever path you choose.

Re: a pc problem
Re: a pc problem Disclaimer!!Some of the advice Im about to give you has the potential to make recovery from computer issues extremely difficult, if not impossible.Further, a couple things will disable features of your computer that you may want to use.I take no responsibility for crashes/problems that occur later; follow at own risk.With that out of the way, heres whats probably hogging your space:Im going to presume youve got a pretty large disk (500gb) and a few gb of ram (4 or ). If any of that infos wrong, let me know.If youre running windows 7, scratch 15gb right now for the os alone.Compressing the windows folder can help with this, but you probably wont get back more than a couple gb.If youre running windows xp, its 2-4 (maybe more, but no more than 10 if you have a whole lot of stuff installed) and again, compression may give you 20-30% back if youre lucky.The items yo ure not seeing in c: are these:*pagefile*hiberfile (hibernation file)*system restoreFirst, lets work on the pagefile. Before you do anything with this, make sure you have more than enough ram to keep your os happy on memory alone. This means:*windows xp: 1gb or more, 2gb highly recommended*windows7: at least 4gbIf you dont have this much, youre likely to see performance issues and possibly crashes if you disable or shrink the pagefile.Pagefile is equal to your ram (if you have 4gb ram, 4gb disk space is used.)You can change the pagefile size (or disable it entirely) by doing the following:go to control panelsystemin windows 7, go to change settingsgo to the advanced tab, and select the virtual memory button.Youll have a list of all the drives on your computer, and what their pagefile status is.To change this, select c:, tab over and set it to custom size.Warnin g! if you disable the pagefile on all drives youll get the most space, but you may cause your system to become unstable, and if it crashes, you wont have debugging information.In custom size, set it to something like 32-512 mb (min-max).Thatll give you a sizable chunk of disk space back, but were not done.Next up is system restore. Exit out of the pagefile dialog, choosing ok until youre back at the system properties window. Do not reboot yet.Make your way to the system protection (or system restore) tab.The instructions for configuring system restore varry from os to os, so Ill cover them individually.For xp:If youd prefer to disable system restore completely, simply check the turn off system restore on all drives box. This will however, prevent you from using system restore to recover later, so Id advise against it unless you want to reformat every time theres a problem.To change the amount of space used:Tab over to the list of drives, and select c:press tab, and select settings.Now simply move the slider around to control what percent of your disk can be used by system restore.If you have a large disk, its perfectly fine to set this to 1 or 2%.Press ok, apply and get out of system properties. Do not reboot yet.for windows 7:Again, from the system protection tab, do the following:Tab over to the list of drives, and select c:tab over to configure, and select it.You now have the option to either disable system restore (see above for warnings) or to move the slider to to change the percentage of disk used.Again, if you have a big disk, 1-2% is perfectly fine.Once youre done, exit out of system settings, answering no to reboot prompts.This should give you an extremely large pile of disk space back (up to whatever percentage the slider was at). System restore can hog 5 0gb in very little time at all.Finally, were going to work on the hiberfile.Hiberfile, like pagefile, is as big as your ram is.If you dont use hibernation (or hybrid sleep on windows 7) you can go ahead and disable this, and reclaim some space.To disable hibernation (any os):press windows r to open the run dialog.type cmd and hit enternow type the following:powercfg /hibernate offexitand reclaim another pile of disk space.Youll need to reboot for these to take affect, so go ahead and do that, and enjoy a nice, free drive.

More people will use it than you think, because a lot of people dont bother to do the research required to find those better apps.8: Cool. They need to make research it better (hows about more search results than 5!) because theyre getting smashed to bits on the extra features front by nvda. I.e: the only one jfw has is research it.

Re: dvd to video converter?
Re: dvd to video converter? Im going to presume that you own all the dvds youre trying to rip, as otherwise its pretty much against copyright to copy them. This does include rented movies; if you dont 100% own it, dont mess with it at all. If you do own it, once you have it on the computer, dont distribute it.With that out of the way, there are a number of programs out there to do what youre looking for. The mainstream one is handbreak, which has both a graphical interface and command-line. That said, its hardly accessible graphically, and I personally found the command-line to be highly confusing. If you can get it to work though, handbreak will both decrypt and convert the dvd for you.Otherwise, youll have to get multiple programs. One to decrypt the video, and one to convert it to a format you want to use. A google search of free dvd decrypter will turn up a functional product from dvd video soft, which will be able to get the job done. Its not 100% perfect accessibility wise though, and only does decryption. That said, its easy to use and works pretty well.My personal favorite is a small program called dvd decrypter, which will decrypt videos, burn iso images, and a number of other things. Its completely accessible with a review cursor, has a simple command line interface, and will happily run three or four copies of itself at once without hogging your processor time. Unfortunately when I just checked, the website for the program seems to be down. Ive uploaded it to dropbox, and will leave it for about a week:https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/856 … crypter.7zOnce you have a decrypted dvd (each one will take about 8gb) you need to convert it. From what Ive seen, pretty much any video converter will allow you to convert dvd movies. I use free dvd to video converter from dvd video soft, which works pretty well, and will make videos in several formats (I use mp4 and end up with about 1gb final products). That said even after decryption there are some movies you wont be able to convert, and for those theres nothing Ive found that works.

Re: any recommendations for website hosting that isn't paid? There are a couple options that come to mind:First, if youre willing to fiddle around, there are google sites. They have a bit of stuff at the top of each page, but theyre workable.Secondly, and I would personally say much better, is to just use dropbox. Youre site will have a wierd link, but theres nothing easier than simply editing all of your files on your computer and having them instantly up and ready to go. Just put your site in your public folder, and give the link to index.html and youre good to go. The only problem with this approach is that you get slightly limited bandwidth (20gb/day for free, 200gb/day for paid).
