Re: So does Magic Jack work with JAWS?

station playlist streamer
Hello all, I have an old PC in my basement in which I have ripped most of my CDs on to. I want to be able to have them playing in random (shuffle) mode and be able to listen to it on any of my other PCs in the house (3 PCs and two wireless laptops). I have come across a program called Station Playlist Streamer which sounds like it may do what I need for around $100. Does anyone have any information on this product? Will it do what I need it to do and is it accessible with a screen reader?

Re: So does Magic Jack work with JAWS?
Hi, Magic Jack is a wonderful little device that allows a computer user to call anywhere in the US, Canada and Mexico and across the world if two of them are used, all for free! There must be a broad ban or fast DSL connection in order to use. It simply plugs into a USB port and away you go, if your lucky! For myself, I am having some problems trying to get it loaded up without knocking down my sound. But for others, it seems to be just fine, but that is my luck.

RE: Please...Re: Magicjack and Screenreaders
A system restore might work.

I tried it as it so states in its set up and nothing went right. So far, it has taken me two days to try and figure out what the heck went wrong. I cannot find anything that it downloaded, this is necessary in order to clean out my system and possibly try again. But here is the really bad thing; all my sounds are gone now. I go into the sound settings and try loading up one of my own or any other and no go. I tried just setting one, like windows start and when I click the play button to as if test the sound, a dialouge box shows and says that this media file cannot be played because my sound card is now in use and as far as I know, this is bunk. My jaws works ok, but no sounds in any program. I use to get a sound to notify me that I got email, now nothing; and so on. So, does anyone know how to get my sound card working again? I really would like to get MJ working but not at the expense of jaws or any other interference. Any ideas out there?

On 13-Apr-08, at 7:26 PM, JardataMailServicesBox wrote: Hello James! To answer your question about Magicjack and Screenreaders (JAWS or Windows-eyes), yes, a blind person can use it just fine. All you do is insert the Magicjack into a USB port and it installs itself temporarily. You have to answer a few questions at the sign-in screen the first time, but that is it. The interface on the screen is not to accessible, but it has a skype-like interface and you can enter numbers and there is a dial and hang-up button. However, once the program is loaded, you can minimize the screen, so Magicjack is hidden or minimized; then you can plug a regular house phone into the MJ unit and you are ready to go. You get a regular dial-tone and you can make phone calls directly from the regular phone. You don't even have to use the screen at all. It works directly like a regular phone. One thing: On my old Dell Desktop, once I plug the MJ unit, the sound goes to the phone (XP Pro); however, when I plug the MJ unit into the HP Desktop (Vista) I don't get the same effect and the sound stays with the computer. You can turn off JAWS and just use the phone. Some guy said you could start JAWS first and plug in the MJ unit later and the USB may not take over the sound card. Like I said, MJ is definitely usable via the phone regardless of your screenreader. I have the unit and it works fine. They could, however, do a little script-type work on the screen interface. The good thing about it is that, once you get the unit, your phone costs go way down. You only have to pay a small licensing fee in succeeding years ($18 a year for me, as I bought unit early, but it may be cheaper for current purchasers). Free long distance in US and Canada and skype- type credits for calling abroad. I think, however, that, if you sent a friend or relative in another country a unit, you could have free long-distance calling, as long as you both are logged on or if you call your MJ number and it is in England, they could answer it and pay nothing. I like that.

Why does Winamp reset volume on stream drop?
Does anybody know the answer to this annoyance? While listening to a stream, if the stream drops and then comes back, Winamp automatically shoots the volume up to full, which, if you were listening to something quietly in the background, can be a real shockeroo! A tap on the up- or down-arrow key will, however, reset the volume level to whatever it was before the disconnect, plus or minus one step (depending on whether you pressed up- or down-arrow). The problem is that if you're using software speech and you turn Winamp down to hear your machine do other things, when the stream pops back in, you get a good blast!

Re: QuickKam stx
Hi. It usually works by itself. Just plug in the device and eloquence will switch to the external device. Unplug it and jaws will switch back to the internal soundcard. It doesn't always work like this though. In those cases restarting the screen reader will help. Sometimes unplugging the device while software is using it to play audio causes that software to crash, jaws included (sometimes). It works ok though, and USB headphones seam to do the same thing, mine do anyway, act as an audio class device. It's useful for a computer that doesn't have a sound card or has a messed up one. - Original Message - From: Sunshine [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: PC Audio Discussion List pc-audio@pc-audio.org Sent: Sunday, April 13, 2008 10:33 PM Subject: QuickKam stx when using a usb device like this or a usb sound card would a person have to put jaws back to the regular sound card and if so how would you do it?

Sound Taxi, a pain in the ***
Hi everyone. Thanks to those who posted with suggestionson unlocking DRM files, I'm grateful. I do have some requests for help though so pleas forgive this longish post. Firstly the purchasing of Sound Taxi was no easy task. I had to get sighted assistance on the last page to confirm the order and that required the use of the mouse. I am totally blind and use JAWS 7. I would appreciate any help from those who use Sound taxi as it isn't very accessible. I've managed to convert the 24 files I had downloaded but I had very little, in fact no control over the finished product. The original download files were 192 bit and when I converted these the bit rate varied from 160 to 320. If anyone is familiar with using Sound Taxi with a screen reader then I would appreciate your help in organising the programme for ease of use. Also, are there any Scripts for Sound Taxi that would make things easier and if so, where do I find them. Many thanks in advance to those who are able willing to help.

I've managed to convert the 24 files I had downloaded but I had very little, in fact no control over the finished product. The original download files were 192 bit and when I converted these the bit rate varied from 160 to 320. If anyone is familiar with using Sound Taxi with a screen reader then I would appreciate your help in organising the programme for ease of use. Also, are there any Scripts for Sound Taxi that would make things easier and if so, where do I find them. Many thanks in advance to those who are able willing to help.

I can help with your sounds and magic jack, what happens? - Original Message - From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: pc-audio@pc-audio.org Sent: Monday, April 14, 2008 12:57 AM Subject: Re: So does Magic Jack work with JAWS? Hi, Magic Jack is a wonderful little device that allows a computer user to call anywhere in the US, Canada and Mexico and across the world if two of them are used, all for free! There must be a broad ban or fast DSL connection in order to use. It simply plugs into a USB port and away you go, if your lucky! For myself, I am having some problems trying to get it loaded up without knocking down my sound. But for others, it seems to be just fine, but that is my luck.

Re: Magicjack and Screenreaders
Hello James, I Have magic jack, have been using it fine. One question, I turned up the volume on the interface all the way, some folks have told me that my speaking volume over my phone is kind of low, Don't know rather it is the magicjack network, are my phone, any one else ran in to this? Regards Don - Original Message - From: JardataMailServicesBox [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Cc: [EMAIL PROTECTED]; pc-audio@pc-audio.org Sent: Sunday, April 13, 2008 5:26 PM Subject: Magicjack and Screenreaders Hello James! To answer your question about Magicjack and Screenreaders (JAWS or Windows-eyes), yes, a blind person can use it just fine. All you do is insert the Magicjack into a USB port and it installs itself temporarily. You have to answer a few questions at the sign-in screen the first time, but that is it. The interface on the screen is not to accessible, but it has a skype-like interface and you can enter numbers and there is a dial and hang-up button. However, once the program is loaded, you can minimize the screen, so Magicjack is hidden or minimized; then you can plug a regular house phone into the MJ unit and you are ready to go. You get a regular dial-tone and you can make phone calls directly from the regular phone. You don't even have to use the screen at all. It works directly like a regular phone. One thing: On my old Dell Desktop, once I plug the MJ unit, the sound goes to the phone (XP Pro); however, when I plug the MJ unit into the HP Desktop (Vista) I don't get the same effect and the sound stays with the computer. You can turn off JAWS and just use the phone. Some guy said you could start JAWS first and plug in the MJ unit later and the USB may not take over the sound card. Like I said, MJ is definitely usable via the phone regardless of your screenreader. I have the unit and it works fine. They could, however, do a little script-type work on the screen interface. The good thing about it is that, once you get the unit, your phone costs go way down. You only have to pay a small licensing fee in succeeding years ($18 a year for me, as I bought unit early, but it may be cheaper for current purchasers). Free long distance in US and Canada and skype-type credits for calling abroad. I think, however, that, if you sent a friend or relative in another country a unit, you could have free long-distance calling, as long as you both are logged on or if you call your MJ number and it is in England, they could answer it and pay nothing. I like that. James Audio List Help, Guidelines, Archives and more... http://www.pc-audio.org To unsubscribe from this list, send a blank email to: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
RE: Sound Taxi, a pain in the ***
Hi Abarney. As I said in an earlier post I can convert files but with no control of the bit rate. When I launch Sound Taxi there is about 10 seconds of non activity then I get a tone such as when something has been completed, like at the end of a burn sequence in Nero. However, I have to alt tab to another window to get the option to select the files for conversion. I am unable to use the file menu as it is frozen as is the application key. If you could give me some idea of keystrokes or short cut keys I would be thankful.

I have aToshiba notebook and HP Desktop, both running Vista; I have a home version of the TomTom GPS software. I don't expect to carry the device around with me and use it on the fly, but is there anyway I can access the program via the PC. The unit only has one button and a touch screen. Once you get your data in, you can have directions and stuff spoken to you in great voices. They say the software is strictly written in C/C++ and they even have a kit for customization of the Navigator software. I was just wondering how this product can be adapted to the blind for directions and using the various features of the unit (maps and location lookups, etc.). I know Trekker and other spcially adapted units are more adaptable to the blind, but their prices are way beyond my reach at this time. The TomTom cost $148.00 total and you get it all at once. Does anyone know of any special software that could run the TomTom and make it accessible via a PC keyboard. The unit has bluetooth technology available. What about a brialle keyboard or Stowaway keyboard being used with it to access the minues and stuff. right now, it is strictly touch screen accessible. You can, however, set up the unit and set some preferences through their home versin of the software, but as far as I can see, no blind friendly access is available. My wife has so much fun just finding stuff and having directions readand so forth and so on. I just want to be able to use the unit via my notebook or desktop and use the maps etc. James Robinson ios alatenr 1 Audio List Help, Guidelines, Archives and more... http://www.pc-audio.org To unsubscribe from this list, send a blank email to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- No virus found in this incoming message.

I must just avoid downloading protected files and if I must, then at least I am able to convert them, all be it without the ability to select the bit rate and just accept the B.R.

Thanks to those who posted with suggestionson unlocking DRM files, I'm grateful. I do have some requests for help though so pleas forgive this longish post. Firstly the purchasing of Sound Taxi was no easy task. I had to get sighted assistance on the last page to confirm the order and that required the use of the mouse. I am totally blind and use JAWS 7. I would appreciate any help from those who use Sound taxi as it isn't very accessible. I've managed to convert the 24 files I had downloaded but I had very little, in fact no control over the finished product. The original download files were 192 bit and when I converted these the bit rate varied from 160 to 320. If anyone is familiar with using Sound Taxi with a screen reader then I would appreciate your help in organising the programme for ease of use. Also, are there any Scripts for Sound Taxi that would make things easier and if so, where do I find them. Many thanks in advance to those who are able willing to help. If you wish to contact me off list to avoid boring the other members then my email address is [EMAIL PROTECTED] Again, thanks to all. Walter.

Re: So does Magic Jack work with JAWS?
Wow, hope you can, got troubles here? Ok, so far, something has happened to my soundcard so one error said. No more sounds at all; not with windows boot up or start, no sounds when I use to get them with new email, no nothing. I tried resetting them but it tells me that it has something to do with my sound card. Jaws works fine, and mp3 and wav files will play but none of my voices other than jaws set voice will work. So apparently, trying to install MJ created a conflict with my sound card. Also, now textaloud and Dsppech will not function. All this took place when MJ locked up my com. I also would like to know what is Natural speak, does that work with the soundcard? Maybe it or some driver got knocked out??? So, first I must now solve these major problems in order to try MJ again. Thank you and would appriciate any help at all.

Hi, Magic Jack is a wonderful little device that allows a computer user to call anywhere in the US, Canada and Mexico and across the world if two of them are used, all for free! There must be a broad ban or fast DSL connection in order to use. It simply plugs into a USB port and away you go, if your lucky! For myself, I am having some problems trying to get it loaded up without knocking down my sound. But for others, it seems to be just fine, but that is my luck.

CD/DVD Drive Problem
Hi All. Okay, here's a strange one, and I can't seem to figure out how to stop it. Lately, my computer thinks it has a virtual CD/DVD drive. Now, I have two drives, and they're both there, but now there's a third one which doesn't really exist, but it's decided to be the G drive. I've tried removing the driver in the device manager. That works until I reboot the system, then I come back and it's there. Also, when it reinstalls itself, for some reason, it will often decide to call itself the F drive, and change my hard drive to the G drive, which then makes my iPod the H drive, screwing up my Voicebox shortcut for Rockbox, as well as my Winamp library since all my music's on the external drive. I know how to change the drive letter for the hard drive, but don't see any of my CD/DVD drives listed when I change drive letters, so am not sure how to make the virtual maybe the Z drive or something. But, what I'd really like to know is, how do I get rid of this virtual drive? I first noticed it either around the time I installed Ashampoo Burning Studio 7 (works very well with JAWS for making CDs and DVDS, by the way), or after I ran RegCleanXP...I did both about the same time, and that's when this extra drive started popping up. Any ideas? Thanks. --- Visit my blog: http://wesderby.blogspot.com http://wesderby.blogspot.com/ . Visit often, and save it to your favorite RSS reader for automatic updates.

Re: goldwave question
Hi caroline, I'm sorry I didn't get back with you sooner. I had a busy weekend. I tried what you suggested and it worked. Thanks. I had to re-install goldwave and now for some reason when I go to maximize the volume the process starts immediately. Is there some setting that might have gotten changed? Thanks again for everyones help. - Original Message - From: Caroline [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: PC Audio Discussion List pc-audio@pc-audio.org Sent: Thursday, April 10, 2008 10:51 AM Subject: Re: goldwave question Hi, Gary. You can definitely set up your original file with a start marker. that's what I do before starting a mix. I find it easier than trying to set it up from the mix dialog. Also, a tip that I learned from Bruce recently that I've found to be incredibly helpful is the fact that you can set cue points while recording. Doing this allows me to jump to specific places in the file during editing which really saves lots of time. One thing to note with this though, the ability to set cue points during recording was broken in an earlier release, (I believe it might have been 5.22 or 5.23, but it is most definitely fixed in 5.30.
