in and out 200%, and you can double-tap and drag three fingers to adjust the magnification between 100% and 500%. Even when the screen is zoomed, you can continue using all of the familiar flick, pinch, tap, and other iPod touch gestures to run your favorite applications. Zoom can also be used with White on Black (reverse video) and Speak Auto-text. White on Black For those who need or prefer higher contrast, iPod touch provides an option to change the display to White on Black. This reverse video effect works in all applications, including the Home, Unlock, and Spotlight screens, and can be used with Zoom and VoiceOver. Triple-Click Home Listeners can use the triple-click home key and set it to toggle VoiceOver or White on Black, or ask you which one. Speak Auto-text When you're typing, iPod touch suggests a word before you finish typing it or a correction when a word is misspelled. Speak Auto-text speaks these suggestions so you can hear them when they're presented. When the screen is zoomed, for example, the suggestion might not be visible, but you can hear and accept it without seeing it. If you're using VoiceOver, you won't have to interrupt your typing and touch the suggestion to hear it. Speak Auto-text can be enabled even when you're not using VoiceOver or Zoom. Tactile Buttons iPod touch includes a few, easily discernible physical buttons used to control it: the Sleep/Wake button, located on the top edge; the volume control buttons, located on the upper-left edge; and the Home button, centered below the display. Giant Fonts for Mail Messages For improved email readability, you can increase the font size of email text from Medium (the default) to Large, Extra Large, or Giant. iPod touch Earphones The new 32GB and 64GB iPod touch models come with a stereo headset with a high-performance microphone built into the cable.

Problem with CD Drive and ITunes
Hello, I am having a problem with my CD Drive. When I insert a blank disk, the drive doesn't detect it, it just asks me to insert a disk. However, when I go into ITunes, the CD is recognized. When I try to burn a CD in ITunes at the lowest possible speed, it says the attempt to burn the disk failed and said it was an unknown error and the code is 4000. What is happening?

RE: sound forge 7
You need to use the arrow keys. Up and down alter the zoom level which determines how far you move with the left and right arrows, when navigating the file. Control left/right arrow moves you to the next marker, if I am remembering rightly. I'm pretty sure you use tab to select, just like you would in Word.

Plug in power and phantom power
Hi to all Firstly, a huge thanx to all for the assistance with the issues regarding the rode video microphone and also other possibilities. There is however something I am curious about. I have a boundary microphone of taiwanese manufacture I think that runs off a 48 volt phantom power supply. It works very well when connected to the pham supply I purchased for it. One day I connected it directly to the input jack of the plextalk ptr2 which and the microphone worked without the phantom power supply. If the plug in power is so low, why did the boundary microphone which is supposed to work with the phantom power work from the ptr2's plug in power? Just curious Andre To unsubscribe from this list, send a blank email to: pc-audio-unsubscr...@pc-audio.org

I use sound forge 7 on a regular basis. Simply press M to set a marker. control left and right arrows moves from marker to marker.Control-shift right/left arrow keys will select to the next or previous marker. I'm not aware of being able to move markers in SF. think you have to create a new marker with control-M again to have a marker at a new position. Ray.

RE: More on the new Ipod Touch
Does anyone have experience with this? Sounds like typing would be cumbersome. The rest sounds pretty cool, I'm just curious how it works in reality. -Original Message- From: pc-audio-boun...@pc-audio.org [mailto:pc-audio-boun...@pc-audio.org] On Behalf Of Steve Pattison Sent: Wednesday, September 09, 2009 4:55 PM To: Access L; PC Audio Subject: Fwd: More on the new Ipod Touch From:Dane trethowan dane.tretho...@me.com To: VIP L vi...@softspeak.com.au Hi! Here's a summary of the accessibility features and functions found on the new Ipod Touch as taken from the Apple Web Site. Vision iPod touch includes a screen reader and other innovative accessibility features that make it easier to use for those with impaired vision. VoiceOver The same VoiceOver screen reader made popular on the Mac and the iPhone is now a standard feature on iPod touch (3rd generation). It's the world's first gesture-based screen reader, enabling you to enjoy the fun and simplicity of iPod touch even if you can't see the screen. What makes VoiceOver on iPod touch remarkable is that you control it using simple gestures that let you physically interact with items on the screen. It's easy to learn and fun to use. Instead of memorizing hundreds of keyboard commands or endlessly pressing tiny arrow keys to find what you're looking for, with VoiceOver you simply touch the screen to hear a description of the item under your finger, then gesture with a double-tap, drag, or flick. VoiceOver delivers an experience unlike any screen reader you've used before. Traditional screen readers describe individual elements on the screen, but struggle to communicate where each element is located or provide information about adjoining objects. This contextual information is very important but typically filtered out by other screen readers. For example, off-screen models used by traditional screen readers to represent applications and web pages intentionally strip away contextual information and describe web pages as a list or menu of items. But with VoiceOver on iPod touch, you'll experience something entirely new. Because VoiceOver works with the touchscreen, you interact directly with objects on the screen and can understand their location and context. So, when you touch the upper-left corner of the screen, you'll hear what's in the upper-left corner of a web page, and as you drag your finger around the screen, you'll learn what's nearby, providing an amazing new sense of context and relationships between the items you hear. For many, VoiceOver on iPod touch will provide, perhaps for the first time, a true sense of not only how things appear on the screen, but also descriptions of what they are. You'll hear descriptions of every item, including status information such as battery level, Wi-Fi signal levels, and time of day. iPod touch even lets you know when the display changes to landscape or portrait, and when the screen is locked or unlocked. The speaking rate is adjustable so you can set it to a speed that best suits your listening ability. VoiceOver uses distinctive sound effects to alert you when an application opens, when the screen is updated, when a message dialog appears, and more. And when VoiceOver is talking, the volume of background sounds and music is automatically lowered, ducking under the voice, so you can clearly hear what VoiceOver is telling you. It Speaks Your Language VoiceOver includes built-in voices that speak over 21 languages including Bahasa Indonesian, Chinese (Cantonese), Chinese (China), Chinese (Taiwan), Dutch, English (U.S.), English (UK), English (Australian), Finnish, French (Canada), French (France), German, Greek, Italian, Japanese, Korean, Norwegian, Polish, Portuguese (Brazil), Portuguese (Portugal), Romanian, Russian, Slovak, Spanish (Mexico), Spanish (Spain), Swedish, Thai, and Turkish. Getting Started VoiceOver is built into iPod touch (3rd generation). There's nothing extra to purchase or install. All you need is iPod touch, iTunes 9 or later, and a Mac or PC. You can activate your iPod touch and enable VoiceOver without sighted assistance using iTunes with a compatible screen reader like VoiceOver (included in Mac OS X) or GW-Micro Window- Eyes for Windows XP and Windows Vista (sold separately). When you activate iPod touch using iTunes, you can enable VoiceOver to start using it right away. Or a sighted user can enable VoiceOver for you directly on iPod touch using the Accessibility menu in the Settings application. How It Works With VoiceOver enabled, you'll use a different but simple set of gestures to control iPod touch. For example, instead of tapping to activate a button, tap the button to hear a description of it, double- tap to activate it, and swipe up or down to adjust a slider. When an item on the screen is selected, a black rectangle called the VoiceOver cursor
