Re: Looking for Speak Recommendations
I could only do a sample of the $300 ones. The Companion 5 ones. If you want to hear those or even the Companion 2 speakers you can look them up on Youtube. I would suggest going with someone sited to best buy and playing the samples there though. Of course the best thing would be going to a B ose store and listening to them there.

Soundforge Activations.
Hi. Does anyone know if it's possible to burn threw one's sound forge activations? How does one go about renewing them if so? Here's the thing. I tried to activate it on that HP Desk Top I got from computers for the blind and got an error. So I figured okay perhaps this PC is just being a miscreant. Lol. Then I tried reinstalling and reactivating on my Enspireon lap top because it would only work for one recording then if you close it, when you open it again it will want you to activate it. When you go to do so hower right after you say yes to the User Account Controll, it disappears. I apparently can't call them because darn it they want you to buy a support plan.

Couple of weeks ago some info was posted about a new software for broadcasting. competitor for Station Playlist. I can’t locate the contact details, website. Could someone re post that please. P.

RE: Radio Broadcasting Software For the PC, some excellent news!
Hi Peter and all, As for Studio's accessibility strides going backwards, I think it might be that the developer haven't thought about testing accessibility changes thoroughly. Also, this problem came about due to some internal changes to how Studio operates (and people had emails back and forth regarding this issue on the SPL mailing list). As for the new kid on the block, it has a potential to be a good alternative to SPL - it's far from perfect, but it's getting there.

RE: Radio Broadcasting Software For the PC, some excellent news!
Hi, I suggested to SPL devs to look at some Windows API functions to detect whether a screen reader is running (there is a way to do that) in hopes of making SPL configure its interface for screen reader users when it starts (GoldWave implements this, and so does other programs).

I was just making the point that it is disappointing when this happens. A developer would not release a product without fully testing visual aspects of his program. But as far as I know, he is not going to fix the access issues. Just as well we have Brian’s excellent scripts.

Hi Peter and all, As for Studio's accessibility strides going backwards, I think it might be that the developer haven't thought about testing accessibility changes thoroughly. Also, this problem came about due to some internal changes to how Studio operates (and people had emails back and forth regarding this issue on the SPL mailing list). As for the new kid on the block, it has a potential to be a good alternative to SPL - it's far from perfect, but it's getting there.

I’m interested to find out more about it. And a developer that is making an effort to include accessability should be supported. Especially when Station Playlist seems to have got less accessible in recent “update”. P.

Date: 3 November 2014 6:31:44 am AEDT Hello everybody For the last couple of weeks I have been working with the developers of a software package called “RadioBOSS” to make their software accessible. I wrote them a long report outlining the accessibility requirements and, within 48 hours of my doing so, they have produced a beta which removes the accessibility issues almost completely. Their formerly graphically drawn boxes are now standard group box controls, and it is possible to navigate between them via the keyboard. The software has excellent audio processing, oodles of keyboard hot keys, built-in streaming/DSP encoders, (including Icecast 2.0 and Shoutcast 2.0), full support for uploading playlists to a remote server, full song requester facilities, accurate top-of-the-hour rotation timing, multiple file formats supported, on-the-fly recording of broadcasts, multiple simultaneous input/output sound devices, dynamically updated music libraries, Copy Paste queuing, automatic playlist generation suitable for full 24/7 automation, and much much more. The software comes in three different flavours, depending upon your needs. But even the most expensive “Advanced” license is priced at just $199.00 US which, in comparison even to things like Station Playlist Creator and Sam Broadcaster, is a very affordable price. Indeed, to license SPL and Studio Pro you’re looking at $450 for the two apps together. This comes as an all-in-one application and is, as I say, cheaper than Station Playlist Creator Pro on its own. I shall continue to work with the developers to further accessibility. But it shows what can be achieved if one approaches a developer in the right way. I went to them politely and demonstrated my willingness to play the game, so to speak, by purchasing 4 licenses for the Advanced edition which can be
