[JAWS-Users] Some help with VLC media player and more advanced features

[JM Casey]

Hi everyone.

 

I use this programme for videos and it works better than any others. I use
Winamp for audio-only playback as of now and am fiddling with Foobar 2000,
which seems very promising. But I would like to get greater functionality
from VlC as well. To that end, I have the following questions:

 

1.   How does a screen-reader user manipulate playlists? I can add
folders, certainly. I can move between tracks with the "n" and "p" keys. How
can I shuffle or randomise a playlist? The up and down arrow keys do not
seem to move throught eh fils. I can use the "next" and "previous" keys for
this, as mentioned, but what if I want to select another track in the
playlist without actually stopping playback or playing through all the
tracks until I get to the one I want? How can I get JAWS to read the *names*
of the tracks as I move through them?

2.   Setting the equalizer. A very necessary thing, for certain types of
music as well as especially older, more underground films where the
soundtrack is fairly muffled. I have figured out how to select and adjust a
preset. However, any adjustments I make are not saved, unless I modify the
default setting through a very cumbersome method that involves entering in a
series of numbers representing the eq values. Does anyone have a more
efficient way of doing this?

3.   Synchronising audio and video tracks. So far I have not really
found a way to do this properly without sighted assistance. I can carry out
the first few steps of adding a separate audio track to a video file, but am
stymied when opening the "play" button, which has some kind of drop-down
menu attached to it that jAWS does not seem to see.

Any thoughts?

 

Thanks.

Hi Cheddar,

Below are steps on how to use Jaws in Openbook:
These are steps on how you can turn sleep mode off or make any other 
changes

in the Settings Center for any program installed on your computer without
the particular / target program running.  Below are steps using Openbook &
turning off sleep mode as an example.  When you shift + tab into
the application list & find the application you want, you need to tab 1 
time

into the Settings Center for that application.  Pressing enter on the
application closes the Settings Center.  So, here is how I accessed the
Openbook Settings Center:
1. While in Outlook Express I pressed Insert key + 6, on the number row
above the main keyboard to open the Outlook Express Settings Center.
2. I invoked the keystroke, shift + tab, to get into the application list.
3. I pressed the letter O, until I had Openbook highlighted.
4. I tabbed 1 time into the Openbook Settings Center.
5. I Typed, sleep, into the search edit field & waited a few seconds for 
the
list to populate & arrowed down to Sleep Mode . miscellaneous, & 
pressed

enter.
6. Now, right here the spacebar needs to be pressed to toggle the options
until Jaws reports, sleep mode Disable.
7. Tab to apply, press the spacebar, tab to okay, press the spacebar to 
save

your changes & close.
8. Now start, Openbook, & press, Control + F5 to temporarily ttoggle 
speech

off in Openbook.  The, Control + F5, keystroke is a toggle, so you can
invoke this keystroke to turn speech back on.  With speech off Jaws will 
now

be your screenreading program.  If you want to make your change permanent,
you need to go into Openbook's settings with the keystroke, Alt + G, arrow
up / down to, Save the Settings, press enter, tab to the, Okay button, 
press
enter, & press enter on the, Yes, option of the dialogue that comes up. 
If
you don't save the settings, your prior Openbook's default settings will 
be

used the next time you start Openbook, but Jaws will also be enabled.  So,
you need to put Jaws back into Sleep Mode by following steps 1 thru 7 from
above, but the following option in step #6, needs to be changed to, Sleep
Mode Enabled & Unload the Synthesizer.

Re: [JAWS-Users] ***SPAM*** Re: Mouse overs

[Hans Pauli Sundstein]

Hi George Martinez.

On my keyboard, the key just to the right to the letter l, jump's from mouse 
over to mouse over.
Try it, and activate it with spacebar, and be aware of, that the mouse over 
kan be structured so it only open's a submenu just under the mouse over you 
clicked on,3 and sometimes it is nessesary to refresh the screen, before you 
can see it with Jaws.

Hi, George. Press control+JAWS key+enter all together. If this sounds like a
stretch, I press the control key with my left hand and, with my right thumb
an pinky, hold both the insert and enter keys on the numpad.
As I recall, once you've pressed that combo, one way to navigate the results
is to press j to enter a line number. I think it will become apparent after
you've pressed that combination. Since I don't have any mouseover controls
in front of me right now, I can't be clearer.

[Inam Uddin]

Dear respected friend, the matter of fact is that it has not gone but Microsoft 
wants it to abandon one day or another!
There are 3 Skypes are available at present.
Skype classic which most of visually challenged persons are using., Skype app 
for windows 10 which very few blind people are using because the script of it 
is relatively new and New Skype for desktop which Microsoft wants to replace 
with Skype classic.
It seams that you have been using Skype classic with JAWS script for Skype 
version 622b revision 983.
If you want to download the latest Skype classic,
Please Click Here
For its script,
Please Click Here
The truth is that we’ll have to use new Skype for desktop one day or another, 
so why not we start to learn it from now!
As long as you do not learn to use new Skype for desktop, you can use Skype 
classic with its JAWS script both of the links were given above respectively!

Hello Vince,

To work with the speech settings you first go into the OpenBook Settings
menu by using Alt key with G.
Arrow down to speech settings and press enter key.
This is a multi-tab dialog but speech settings tab should be the tab in
focus.  Otherwise, press CTRL with tab until the speech tab is selected.
Tab to the Synthesizer combo box and use up and down arrow keys to make 
the

choice you want.  Eloquence is one of the choices you should find.
Use shift-tab and find the checkbox for applying the change to all voices 
if

that is what you want.  Otherwise, the Voice Selection voice dictates
whether the change is for the reading voice, menu voice. Etc.
Tab to the Voice Name box and make your choice.
Use the apply button and then the OK button.
Use Alt with G again and enter key on the Save the Settings menu item.
If you want the change to be the default just leave Default as the name,
otherwise type in a new name for the settings.
Tab to the various checkboxes that determine which settings you want
included.  Use spacebar to uncheck or check settings you want included.
Use the Save button.
If you chose to overwrite the default you will be asked if you want to do 
so

and you can answer accordingly.

To retrieve a particular group of settings later go under the settings 
menu
with Alt and G, arrow down to the settings to retrieve and press enter 
key.


You can delete the settings group by going under the Settings menu and
choosing the delete settings menu item.  Select the settings name to 
delete

and use the OK button.

Take care.

Re: [JAWS-Users] Jaws on a portable thumb drive?

Hi

JAWS used to have a thumb drive version, but it required the JAWS intercept
to be installed on every system that would run it.  The latest version of
the JAWS thumb drive that I have seen was for JAWS 15.  But JAWS 15 cannot
be used on a Windows 10 system.

Is there a way to do the same thing with Jaws?

Looking at further study and no point studying Tech support if options are

If I were to possibly get a job in tech support I could take a USB stick

helped me do a few things with Jaws.  The last thing he did was to tell me

I'm sorry to report that Jerry, who used his formal G.W. Cox name in his
posts, died on January 3rd. I don't know if he posted here, but either way,
some current members will recall him from another JAWS list. during the
years he was an active contributor, he gave accurate, concise and always
helpful advice. He and I had interests in common and became friends
off-list. From that, I know that he also helped a number of people over the
phone.

Jerry was a Vietnam vet, though he became a critic of that war, and later
editor of newspapers in Puerto Rico and New Mexico. He grew up in or near
Chicago and obtained his college degree from the University of Oklahoma. If
I remember correctly, he lost his vision shortly after 2000 and later
sustained a stroke that impaired his speech and movement. But since he
hardly ever spoke of such things and never complained, the details haven't
stayed in my head. He had a warm sense of humor and an eagerness to share
his knowledge and the wisdom he'd gained from experience. He leaves behind
his wife, the daughter he doted on and his beloved sister, among many others
whose lives he touched. He was a good man, and I will miss him.

A "reception" will be held for him on Monday between 4 and 6 Mountain Time,
and a webpage has been set up for anyone who would like to read his obituary
and maybe post a remembrance. Here's the URL:

Re: [JAWS-Users] Jaws Key CapsLock

[Michael Babcock]

I assume you’ve already switched your keyboard layout to laptop and it’s not 
working?

The first step would be to ensure that you switched your keyboard layout to 
laptop.

The second step would be to ensure that boot camp drivers are properly 
installed…

Let me know if that helps

With my best regards

[JAWS-Users] Starting Playback

[Tom Fairhurst]

I just have to ask this question one more time. Does pressing the Spacebar 
cause playback to start when you are outside the main window, for example, 
in the library window? If I press the Spaceb ar in a menu or while doing a 
search queery in the library, the Spacebar functions the same way as it 
would in the main window.

Subject: [JAWS-Users] How to make Winamp the default player

Hi, all.  On my Dell Xps-1501 laptop running Windows 7 64 bit, Windows Media
player tries to launch when I try to play a file someone sent me.  The file
plays for a couple of seconds and stops.  I tried to change the setting in
default programs and got nowhere.  I went into the Winamp preferences menu
and got nowhere using that menu either.  Could somebody refresh my memory so
I can make Winamp the default player on my laptop?  Incidentally, on my
desktop computer running the latest version of Windows 10 and Winamp, the
files from within the main folder play just fine.  Thanks.

I had to refresh my memory, too.  It is under general Preferences. Arrow 
down just once, and you'll see File Types. When thi node is opened, you can 
work with it as you wish.

Re: [JAWS-Users] [jaws] ms helpline

[David Ferrin]

The most recent versions of live mail are on the programs page, and so is a 
version of outlook express that works in windows 7 and beyond.

Yes, go to
http://www.runasxp.com and look there.  David, our moderator, might also
have put it in the programs section on the website.
