Re: [JAWS-Users] Downloading and saving Ebooks
The Adobe Digital Editions must be authorised with the same ID with which the books were purchased from the vendor site. Sometimes it helps to first open the Adobe digital reader on one's pc before downloading the .acsm file to the pc. The complete book will only be downloaded when one opens the acsm file with adobe digital reader on one's pc. Adobe ditgital reader version 2 is accessible with jaws, from version 12 but I never try to locate the files via its library. I open them by highlighting the acsm file in windows explorer and choose adobe digital reader via the application key. It will say fulfilling title and book content when the book has been opened. The complete file of the downloaded ebook, .epub or .pdf, will then be in the my digital editions directory under my documents. It reads fine with jaws 12 and you can use the bookmark and go to page features by pressing tab in the open document and following the prompts.

Re: [JAWS-Users] EBooks
Depending on the file format, you could read .epub and .pdf ebooks with version 1.8.1 of the free adobe digital preview program, although it's not bug free and the pdf books crash jaws easily, if one tries to navigate. Note that you'd have to authorise the program with the relevant book ID, if protected, otherwise it won't open. Version 13 of Kurzweil 1000, just released, can also read epub files, provided that it is not drm protected. All Amazon's purchases are drm protected, but they don't sell .epub or .pdf format ebooks in any case, only kindle, with .prc, .mobi, or .azw extensions. They can be converted to txt, provided that they are no longer drm protected, by either the zamzar.com, or convertfiles mobi to txt, sites.

Re: [JAWS-Users] large PDF file
Brad, You don't have to physically print the document with Kurzweil, but it will probably take about 5 minutes from the moment you open it in Kurzweil until it has completed OCR conversion of all 165 pages, like when scanning. It will use your default scanning settings and you could open it with Kurzweil directly from windows explorer via the applications menu, when the pdf document is selected in the list view. Then it's in .kes format and you can navigate and edit with all Kurzweil's sophisticated features, adding bookmarks, notes, audio notes etc. Regards, Riana -Original Message- From: jaws-users-list-boun...@jaws-users.com [mailto:jaws-users-list-boun...@jaws-users.com] On Behalf Of brad Sent: Wednesday, June 13, 2012 2:39 AM To: jaws-users-list@jaws-users.com Subject: Re: [JAWS-Users] large PDF file I have kirswell but don't use it all that much.

I don't like the way Adobe handles largish documents, it seems to choke and take forever. You can go into preferences and tell it to only convert portions of the document as you go. If you have a few Benjamin's lying around, avail yourself of Open Book or Kurzweil. You can use the Freedom Import or Kurzweil Virtual Printer respectively. Just open the .pdf document, issue the print command and select whichever one is applicable as your printer. The disadvantage to reading docs in Adobe like that, is any table conversion doesn't work all that well. You have to be able to do a bit of mental interpolation.

Re: [JAWS-Users] Kindle For PC
Hello Listers, I'm in South Africa and for some inexplicable reason, people in Africa are prohibited from downloading this accessible Kindle for pc program via amazon. I already have the mainstream kindle for pc, via Amazon's site, installed and registered on my pc since January and have, with much hassles, succeeded to get a kindle book downloaded into it, in order to retrieve it from the my kindle content folder on my pc, to further handle with the book. Once downloaded, I don't plan to read it via the kindle for pc, but will convert the book, but navigation of the menus via jaws, will be of much help to get the download streamlined and know when it was opened in kindle for pc. My questions are: As I'm prohibited from downloading it, will the site also prohibit me from using the accessible version, as I am able to download via the basic one? If I manage to obtain it via goodwill from overseas, will I have to uninstall the basic one, or could I install the other one over it and would I have to reauthorise it under a different ID? Alternatively, Is there perhaps some way that one could get hold of only that additional accessibility features that will work with jaws, to install it, like an add on to my current pc installation, thereby eliminating deregistering the already working version to reregister the new one on the same authorisation?

So I gave up on the PC suite totally and use a much more simpler, consistent and reliable method to do all of the below: 1. install TTS software like Talks. 2. install human sounding voices 3. copy my own mp3 files to play or use as ring tones. The answer to all the above is to directly copy over any of the above files to the removable memory card (like the RS-MMC card on Nokia 6682 or the other types of such removable mem cards on other Nokia phones like the N95 etc) using the mem card reader slot on your laptop or PC. Many of these phone mem cards can be attached to adaptors so they fit in a regular SD card slot on your PC. If you don't have the adaptor to make your phone's mem card fit into a SD card slot on your PC then you can buy these many-in-one USB memory card readers from Amazon which will take your phone's mem card. Just ensure you buy the USB mem card reader that has your phone's mem card as one of the types it takes. Once copy over the TTS and voice files from your PC to the phone's mem card then use your phone's menu to move them to the internal non-removable flash drive of your phone and then install then. listen: Sunday, March 04, 2012 10:49 PM To: jaws-users-list@jaws-users.com Subject: [JAWS-Users] Accessibility of pc suite on windows 7 using jaws 12 Hello Listers, Still using a third generation symbian N82, I was able to connect to the internet using the phone via USB cable, utilising pc suite, latest accessible version according to the blindsea.com site, via windows xp, but no longer under windows 7 64 bit.

Re: [JAWS-Users] PDF why some work and some don't?
If you have, or can upgrade to Kurzweil 1000, its latest two versions does this conversion well, even from opening the pdf file with Kurzweil via the applications menu from within windows explorer's list view. Just note that it will use your default OCR settings, which may perhaps not be applicable to the particular document, but you can change it, using one of the other longer methods. If you can supply Kurzweil Educational systems with proof of a validly purchased version of openbook, years ago my openbook serial number and specific version was sufficient proof, you can upgrade and switch to Kurzweil for something like $150. You'll never look back again, no pun intended.

Hello Jason, It may be that you still need to install the additional voices, which you can download from the fs site. They don't install automatically upon installation of jaws.

Dear Listers, I tend to differ with the suggestions made, although I unfortunately don't have a solution, but I'm experiencing the same annoying issue, although the delay is not such that I can't live with it, approximately two seconds, on a brand new quad cor processor pc with four gig of ram, under windows 7 64 bit, with only nod32 and outlook running, with almost a terabyte free memory on the hard drive, while on my notebook, running the same version, latest of jaws, also with 4 gig ram but only a duel cor processor, also windows 7 64 bit, running only outlook and Nod32, with five times less memory on the hard drive left, it's more than a second faster.

Dear Alan, I've never got pdf files to convert successfully using openbook 7.02, even though one is supposed to be able to do it via the virtual printer, as openbook hangs the pc and I ended up having to restart, as all speech, including jaws was gone. If the document in pdf is printed material and not graphics, the versions of Jaws since version 10 works ok with Adobe from version 8. The alternative option would be to use a mainstream scanning program like omnipage with jaws, or Kurzweil.

David, I'm writing from work, where I don't have skype, but in skype 5, you can still add a contact via the menus, I think it's probably under tools if not under a contacts submenu, the difference being further that you have to press the spacebar instead of enter, to get into the edit boxes. I do have Doug Lee's scripts for jaws installed, but don't know whether that has a bearing on this issue. By the way, according to the Skype English list, skype 5.1 is out and Doug has already released scripts for that too.

Re: [JAWS-Users] Jaws 12, Skype and Scripts
Hello David, If I recall correctly, it was mentioned on the skype English list that one should have DougLee's jaws scripts installed to have skype operate correctly with skype 5 and also skype watch, if you install that, to all be recognised and work right. I have installed skype watch with the other jaws scripts and although it said that the installation was successful, from the dialogue within skype, it says skype watch is not installed. I don't have skype or any related links at work, where I'm on this list and writing this message, so cannot provide any urls.

Re: [JAWS-Users] Burn CD with Media Player
Dear Listers, In Windows 7 Home premium, which I think per default comes with windows media player version 12, the ripping options are really not that much different from the previous version, if you set your view options to the menu, not sure whether it's called classic menu, view. As your settings are retained, once made, you can a next time, just insert the cd and if you've set it to automatically rip the cd when inserted, you won't even have to make any other changes, when ripping a second cd. However, if you do not specifically place a high premium on and prefer to rip to wma lossless or CDA format and do not need your track and album titles to be retrieved from the internet, you can use the switch program to convert the songs to another format, even the same format like mp3, just with a lower bitrate encoding, which will in effect also rip the cd. I cannot recall which version of switch you have to install to work on windows 7, but if you try to install an earlier incompattible version, it will tell you to download a relevant version from the webpage and even open the page for you. But, as far as I could figure out, you cannot burn with switch.

Re: [JAWS-Users] Problem getting JAWS to automatically start
Dear Greg and List, I had this issue once, although with jaws versions 9, upgrading to 10 and because I had trouble getting the authorisation activated via the internet, I uninstalled version 10, after which version 9 no longer wanted to start when the computer started up. It did not help to do a repair. Apparently somewhere in the settings, even though the relevant checkboxes are checked, the startup version remains connected, or tethered to the latest version you have installed, even though you have uninstalled it since, thus not starting the previous version you want to revert to, so you'd probably have to uninstall version 11, or at least re-install it again.

Re: [JAWS-Users] Voice Settings
Kerry, In jaws 11 you have to distinguish clearly between the voice adjustment menu and the profile selection menu under the voices menu from within the jaws contextual menu. The shortcut control s with jaws key, only brings up the select profile menu, which may perhaps be what you also get via the systems tray, I'm not sure. But in that menu, you cannot change the profile settings, only select already set up profiles. Thus, the change language synthesiser settings, only appears in the adjust voices menu, which is the one you can't reach via the shortcut. If you change the synthesiser language, only the profiles available for the language you've chosen, appears. So, if you have one Spanish voice profile set up or installed, it will only appear when your synthesiser language is set to Spanish and vice versa with the English voices. As elloquence have voices for both Spanish and English, the elloquence voice will appear in both, but the Solo direct human sounding voices, are tethered to the specific installed voices for that presently selected language synthesiser. Only when you turn the synthesiser voice back to the other one, you would get back the other languages' voices.

Re: [JAWS-Users] Problem with real speak solo voices?
Dear Listers, It helps to, in the jaws verbosity menu under editing options, turn off the auto correct, spelling detection and grammatical error detection, when reading documents with the realspeak solo direct voices, or other sapi 5 voices. Also make sure that the language under the tools settings, corroborates with the language you're reading with the particular voice and check that wordwrap and full screen is enabled in, I think, the formatting and view menus from within the particular document.

Re: [JAWS-Users] Moving Jaws Dictionary items
Hello Ken, As the jaws dictionary is for pronunciation purposes only, jaws will pronounce words as per the default pronunciation of jaws for a specific language, no matter whether it's necessarily correct, unless you specifically change the pronunciation for that particular word to be pronounced as you like it, or as per a different language pronounciation. One that comes to mind is guillotine, the original pronunciation stems from French, but unless you change the English eloquence to use the French pronunciation, it will be said differently.

I will give steps for each scenario. Before giving the steps let me remind you that if you want to have the same dictionary entries in Outlook Express in a newer version of JAWS you can do so by using the JAWS merge utility. The merge utility will not only merge your dictionary entries for the given program but also will merge your JAWS configuration files, JAWS graphics files, schemes, sounds, placemarkers and other personalized settings. You don't want to use merge if you are just wanting your JAWS dictionary files for Outlook Express to be merged. If you want to use the merge utility then you can find the merge menu choice in the JAWS interface window and in the utilities menu. REPLACING OUTLOOK EXPRESS.JDF IN JAWS 11 WITH OUTLOOK EXPRESS.JDF IN JAWS 10 There are two places to look for the Outlook Express.JDF file in each version of JAWS. One of these two places is in explore my settings and the other one is in Explore shared settings. You can access each of those through the JAWS program group in the start menu. 1.Use Windows key to activate the Windows start menu. 2. Move focus into the all programs group. In XP you can press the letter P while focus is in the start menu to move to the program groups. If there is only one P in your start menu then focus will go directly into the submenu. If there is more than one P in your start menu then press that letter until you find the programs choice and use right arrow key to go into the submenu. Press J until you find JAWS 10 and use right arrow and then down arrow key into the JAWS 10 choices or press enter key. When the JAWS 10 choice is open press E to get to the explore JAWS choice and press enter key to open that group of icons. Use down arrow and press enter key on the explore my settings choice. If you use Vista or Windows 7 then after pressing Windows key to move into the start menu use the down arrow key to move off of the search box and then press the letter A to find the all programs choice and press enter key. Use down arrow so that focus is off the search box, press J until you get to JAWS 10, press enter key and then press E to get to the explore JAWS choice and press enter key to open the group of icons. Use down arrow key to move to the explore my settings choice and press enter key. 3. Focus will be in a list of files and folders that apply to the current user of Windows. Press the letter O until you find the Outlook Express.JDF file. If you can type fairly quickly then instead of just pressing O try typing O U T L and focus should go directly to the first icon starting with the word outlook. Use down arrow key until you find the Outlook Express.JDF file if there is one in this folder. Listen carefully as there might also be an Outlook

Hi Larry, What happens that you cannot get into outlook? I have exactly the same setup, Jaws 10 latest, xp pro, outlook 2003, windows media player 11 and an older version of win amp, version 5.24 and I don't experience that problem. There have been discussions on the win amp list that the memory, after having closed win amp, is sometimes retained for a while, but I haven't had any problem and use both media players regularly, as well as Kurzweil and can switch to outlook and open it from the start menu any time during and after having exited them. So I don't think your problem is with jaws. Earlier versions of jaws 10 did have a focus problem and one still sometimes gets the jaws application error when writing long messages, but not often and it's independent from the media players' use.

I found that a small freeware program called FreeOCR can usually do quite a good job on this kind of file. If you have Kurzweil, OpenBook, OmniPage or another commercial OCR program then you should be able to run OCR on the file and get the desired results. Here is a link to FreeOCR if you want to download it. After the link are some steps to follow when using the program for a scanned image file. http://dl.dropbox.com/u/3951772/freeocr.exe 1.Install FreeOCR by pressing enter key or double-clicking on the downloaded file. 2.Follow prompts to install the software. An icon will be created on the desktop. 3.You might want to restart your system when installation is complete, although the program doesn't tell you that a restart is required. 4.Press enter key or double-click the FreeOCR icon on the desktop to start the program. 5.Use Alt+F to bring up the file menu, use down arrow to the load PDF choice and press enter key. 6.Browse to the PDF file to be used and open it. 7.Press alt+O to go into the OCR menu and press enter key on the start OCR process choice. 8.Use tab key to move into the edit area that tells you that focus is in page 1. 9.After waiting some time for processing to finish use Alt+T to go into the text menu, use down arrow to the copy text to clipboard choice and press enter key. 10. Open up your word processing program and paste the text. 11. The top few lines will be text from the FreeOCR program so you can select it and delete it. The main text of the document should start right after the text you are going to delete. 12. An alternative to copying the text to the clipboard is to use the save text choice in the text menu of FreeOCR after processing the image file. A dialog box will appear for you to name the file and save it where you want it. You can then open the file in Notepad from where it is stored. I have had success using programs to change the PDF to TIF files and then using the Microsoft Document Writer to extract the text into a document, but this program actually gave me better results and worked faster. If you have the Microsoft Document Image Writer installed you can do the following: 1. Open the PDF file in the Adobe Reader and you will hear alert: empty document. 2. Press CTRL+P to go into the print dialog box. 3. Use tab key to the list of printers and then use up or down arrow keys to find the Microsoft Document Image Writer choice and press enter key. 4. A SaveAs box will appear with .TIF shown in the file types list. Name the file and save it as a TIF file. 5. Open all programs from the start menu, open the Microsoft office group, open the Office tools, and use down arrow to the choice for Microsoft office Document Imaging. Press enter on that choice. 6. Press alt+T to go into the tools menu and press enter key on the recognize text using OCR choice. 7. A dialog box will appear where you can tell the program to recognize all pages. Use tab key to the OK button and press enter key. 8. Wait for processing to finish. 9. Press Alt+T again and use down arrow to the send text to Word choice and press enter key. 10.Use tab a couple of times and find out what the default location for the document will be and then tab to OK and press enter key. 11.Wait for the file to open in Microsoft Word.

As my desktop computer is just about 8 years old, I figured that if the desktop computer should ever quit on me, at least I would have both my laptop and netbook computers as a back up. We setup the wireless connection on these three computers through time warner cables road runner service and everything seemed to be working fine up until a few days ago. However on sunday,when i turned on my laptop computer too try and download my email, there was no wireless connection. What I want to know here, is it possible that the wireless connection could some how have been deleted? or just the email account which was also setup when we established on both the netbook and laptop computers. One more thing which I should note here, is that I'm able too get on too the net from the laptop computer, and probablythe netbook as well, but I'm just wondering if I'll have too resetup my email account on my laptop and netbook again, though I'm not sure as that's why I'm asking for advice and suggestions from members on this list.

If I remember correctly, the path for them is c:\documents and settings\userName\local settings\Microsoft\Outlook. However, the data files button should bring up the mail setup dialog that has the list of files and locations. You can import .PST files or comma separated value files using the import wizard in Outlook. It can be found in the file menu. Choose to import from another program or file and you will find a list of the supported file types and programs from which Outlook will import. Outlook Express 6, CSV Windows, and PST are among those types. You can also import addresses from Outlook Express if you choose to import Internet mail and addresses. You will get choices for importing messages, addresses, etc. Choices will be in the form of checkboxes. There is also an import/export wizard that can be activated by using the export/import file menu choice while in Outlook contacts. Take care.

Re: [JAWS-Users] Texting via the web
Hello, In South-Africa it only works to send a message from a pc via email, to be received as sms on a cel phone, when entering the number in the username section of the email address, followed by the @ sign and the provider, but one can only enter the message in the subject field, not in the body. Of course, if the person using the phone sets up his email on the cel phone, you could just use ordinary email from your pc and will receive the response as such, with the advantage that there's no limitation on the size, also it goes through as data, which is cheaper if one doesn't have a sms bundle included on one's monthly cel phone package. Also, with the skype beta, now available for third generation cel phones, it is said that the chat option is accessible via both Talks and Mobile speak. Thus you could use jaws on your pc to, via the skype chat function, send a chat (or instant message, as referred to in some skype versions) to any of your skype contacts in the world, and vice versa, to be read on their computers or cel phones.

Re: [JAWS-Users] pdf
Hi Caroline, Yes, I can think of at least three ways one would be able to do this. To make this related to jaws, I'll mention the most amateurish method first. Any version of jaws, I believe from 7 upwards, that will work with either sappy 5 human sounding voices, or the e-speak voices. Which are free, or real speak voices, and eloquence too, of course, could be used to open the pdf file in adobe acrobat reader and via the say all feature, read it in the preferred voice of your choice, while recording it via a program like CDEX, in mp3 format. I don't have the necessary cables to test direct recording at present, but you should be able to do it with some line in cable, I think, rather than with an open microphone, but I have experimented recording via a microphone, reading via jaws 9 and 10. It sounds good via the solo direct, but also ordinary non-proprietary real speak voices, used via jaws. With kurzweil you could save a document you have opened and performed OCR on, if necessary, including a pdf document, into mp3 directly via the save to audio option and you can choose the quality of the mp3 file. When saving, it must be set to the relevant voice, which basically amounts to any voice installed on your computer at the time and accessible to Kurzweil. You could thus also adjust the speed before saving. You could do the same via openbook, although upto version 7.2, openbook can't utilize sappy 5 voices. There are also mainstream programs like text aloud, that will save text to mp3, but I have not experimented with that.

Re: [JAWS-Users] SAPI 4 voices
Hi Mike, Installation of jaws 8 and higher uninstalls the viavoice application which, I was told, was a sappi 4 voice, that Openbook 7 and lower and version 10 and lower of Kurzweil, used and this is a known fact, for which I can vouch. So probably the said jaws installation uninstalls, or disables, the other sappi 4 voices too. I overcame this hassle with openbook 7, by uninstalling it and re-installing it after having installed jaws and it happens with every new installation of the later jaws versions. It may be the installation of the particular later version of elloquence, rather than jaws, as I know from the Kurzweil list that the other screenreader users also had a conflict with the version of elloquence that earlier jaws and window eyes used, but, it definitely has that effect with jaws.

Sapi 4 voices normally came with other applications or were bought specifically as stand alone synthesisers. For example I bought the Natural voices synthesiser which installed in both Sapi 4 and 5 versions at the same time. If I wanted to use the Sapi 4 version I needed to run Sapi 4 detect on Jaws. Before Jaws 10 the ability to group Sapi 4 voices in a synthesiser was useful as you could create a sort of profile of a set of Natural Voices by switching to the Natural voices synthesiser . If you have jaws 10 or 11 you do not need to do this because of the ability to create as many voice Profiles as you like.

Re: [JAWS-Users] Sappy 5 engine not reading folder list in OE
Hello Burt, I don't use OE, but I use Jaws 8, 9 and 10 on different computers, with sappi 5 and outlook, MS Word, notepad and Kurzweil respectively and apart from on one pc where it keeps changing to sapi 5, a specific espeak voice when on the web with internet explorer, still version 6, even though the default is set to eloquence, I don't have that problem. It does however not change back to eloquence, or the other way round, when reading an html message in outlook. Could it perhaps be that your menu voice is still set to eloquence, while your pc voice is sappi 5?

[JAWS-Users] Automatic updates
Dear Alan, Under the windows update settings via the control panel, there are, I think, four options. You apparently know how to get to that, as you've disabled automatic updates, but change that option to the one that says something like: notify me about updates but don't download automatically. Then, I suppose when you've restarted your pc, you'll probably have a pop up window, telling you there are new updates. Press jaws key with function key 11 to get in the system tray, don't route jaws to pc, it's not necessary and probably won't work right then, but just arrow to new updates, where you enter. Use your up and down arrows to find out what the updates are and ensure that everything apart from internet explorer 8 is checked. Uncheck the latter with the space bar. Then tab to ok or download. You'll get a prompt on whether you want to hide the updates you haven't checked, to cancel or to be asked later. You probably want to hide them and/or not to be asked again. download and after the download, if you're not specifically prompted, go to the system tray again and under new updates, enter on install. Now you'll be prompted, probably about once a month, that there are new updates, which you then install in the same way via the system tray and just make sure that internet explorer 8, if it ever comes up again, [which does happen on my pc about every three months] is unchecked, as indicated and install the rest. Don't worry further about wrong installations then, it works as specified.

I am not worried so much about Security,as I am about downloading something in the Windows Updates that will mess up a perfectly working system, my thinking, is of course: If it ain't broke, don't fix it And as I said things are just working so perfectly, two (2) T-Drives, fantastic sound system, no problems with JAWS or anything! Can anyone tell me why I should allow the updates, and if so, what should I be weary of? I do not want to update to JAWS 10 nor 11 at this time, and JAWS 9 is working fine, but will any of the current updates mess up JAWS 9.0156?

Since I could not find any pattern or software that was causing the outlook express settings from being automagically changed, I suspect something is messed up in one of the system files. I did some internet searching and found a few year old post about similar problems and that there was a security update. Even though I have auto updates checked I went to look for updates to Microsoft software. There were quite a few that I installed. about 25 including some driver updates. Only time will tell if this corrected the problem. There is one thing that I installed that I will remove something about a windows search procedure. On the task bar it states indexing complete. The one big problem that I had with the driver updates was one was for my video. When the computer restarted it was checked to install the video intercept for Jaws. I could only read that line. It took my wife, sighted, to click on the install button. Not sure why I could not read anything else on the screen with either cursor. It took about six hours for all of the updates. --- Please visit my home page; it is motivational, inspirational and humorous with many resources for the blind. http://www.lennymchugh.com Lenny Please Copy and Paste into New Message to pass along.

Re: [JAWS-Users] How do I Get back Save Target As, etc., on right-mouse menu?
Hello Flore, Somewhere in one of the toolbars, there is a place to disable drag and drop, which has probably been disabled somehow, perhaps by the sighted person. Just try to get it enabled again.

With the right-mouse key or using the right-mouse button itself, I'm getting a slightly didferent menu and am being taken out to the desktop when i leave it. This started last week, eiter when I installed Qwitter or when a sighted person used the mouse (with JAWS unloaded).

Re: [JAWS-Users] Convert video to different formats?
Hello Sarah, Switch will do some of them, but I'm not sure whether the unpaid version will do the specific conversions you want. You can download a free, or purchase the switch plus program, from the nch software web page. The free version is not a trial, it just doesn't allow use of all the functions, but the paid version is not expensive.

Re: [JAWS-Users] Quick start for jaws?
Hello Josh and David, Sorry, but this is incorrect. All jaws versions one installs, create an icon on the desktop, so if you have nothing else on the desktop starting with a j, pressing that letter when on the desktop, will select jaws and you can then just enter. So without speech, pressing windows key with m, then j and then enter, should run jaws. You don't have to create a different hotkey.

Re: [JAWS-Users] Nod32
Hello Larry, I'm using the same versions of operating systems and programs than you and have been using nod32 now for almost three years, without a problem and apparent good results. It's not free however, but you don't have to re-install anything when buying upgrades for a further year or two years. If memory serves, I think you only have to replace the new code and password. However, I did not personally install the program initially and cannot comment on the accessibility of that process. Nod32 is also the virus scanning program FS recommends for use with Openbook and Jaws and it also doesn't interfere with Kurzweil 1000. It's said to be more reliable than AVG and is less draining on memory resources than Norden.

[JAWS-Users] Further to music notation
Hello Listers, I don't know how accessible the below is with jaws and the linux speakup screenreader, but it was also mentioned as possibility on the accessible music notation thread and perhaps merits further experimentation for those interested: Freedots takes a electronic music notation file (musicxml) in as input and produce braille music notation for printing on a braille embosser or reading on a braille display. It is also able to playback a piece with your sound card. Musicxml is a standard music notation format that can be exported with most optical music recognition programs e.g. finale. Freedots is still very early in development, it was only started at the end of last year I think. According to the website, not all braille music functions are implemented yet. It is however an open source project so with a lot of input from us blind braille music users it should become quite good.

Hello Listers, Perhaps this could help the musicians among us?: I've taken the below info from another list and haven't tested it: Re: Weasel, music system for the blind It sounds similar to lilypond which is like latex for music. Just a side note on this topic of computer based music notation, a blind person from the Linux community has developed a program called freedots which converts musicxml notation format to braille music. http://delysid.org/freedots.html It's written in java so it should run on most systems. I think you can download a windows installer also. You can test it with one of the musicxml scores from project gutenberg. http://www.gutenberg.org http://www.gutenberg.org/ Take care, Rynhardt NB: This email and its contents are subject to our email legal notice which can be viewed at http://www.doj.gov.za/about_web/disclaimer.htm If you are unable to access the Disclaimer, send an email request for the disclaimer to webmas...@justice.gov.za and we will send you a copy of the Disclaimer.
