Re: Weighing Up accessability
High David, I have and use the same phone that you had. I am long over do for an up grade, but I am very skeptical about which phone to get. I am with the same carrier that you're with, but they tell me that they don't know of a phone that does the same things that this one does. So I'm watching the market just to see what they will come up with for the blind.

I upgraded to a LG9900 a few days ago, and my wife and I attempted to get that phone setup last night so that aI could use its' wonderful features. Sorry to say, the voice command in this new phone seems to be worse than in the 4650, and there is no speech output in the very places where one needs speech output the most. To make matters worse the manual for this phone seems to be of not much help when attempting to get the phone setup for speech output. Long story short, I am going to take it back to Verizon tomorrow and get a 30 day trial on the Moterola Q so I can try it out with MobileSpeak Smartphone. LG has voice on at least 6 of their phones, but one almost wonders why when the fact is that the items that speak do little to help one get the phone realy setup, and the items that do not speak are the items one really need in order to do things like enter names in the contact list. - Original Message - From: Dane Trethowan [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: PC audio discussion list. pc-audio@pc-audio.org Sent: Thursday, July 19, 2007 1:26 PM Subject: Weighing Up accessability : Thanks for that, said all I wanted to say in a nutshell.

Re: buying a new cd drive, some questions
High Larry, Any cd or DVD drive you get comes with software. Most of them that I know about comes with Nero, but some may come with Roxyo. They will set you back some where between $50 to $70. But it all depends on the brand and mottle.

I have tried running a cd cleaner from memorex through the thing a number of times, but no major improvement if any when it comes to the consistent reading of cds, so I'm going to buy another drive. Since the trend has gone to dvd drives, I am a bit concerned as to what I should be on the look out for as it concerns working with my version of Nero 6. I don't want to get home with a drive, only to find out that it will not be compatible with my burning software. And, I really like Nero, but don't really want to have to invest another 80 bucks or so for an upgrade. After all, that price may be twice that of the driver unit. Anyway, if anybody can shed any helpful light on my above stated concerns, I will be eternally grateful. Now, I doubt that I will be watching any movies with this new drive. I'm only planning to maybe back up files to a dvd disc on occasion, but there's always that eventuality. Is there a drive that will work well with both standards, and how much should such a drive set me back? Oh well, guess that's it. If anybody can come up with any possible concerns that I should be aware of in making such a switch, please let me know.

I'm wondering if when you burn a CD the drive might burn it badly and therefore it can be read only once or twice before the disc degrades. Moer questions than answers, sorry about that but CD burners have done real strange things for me. Tom ** Message Separator ** For some reason, my cd drive/burner seems to have trouble reading discs within Windows Explorer. No matter how many times I try reinserting discs, I receive the dialog box telling me that I need to place a disc in the drive, or something to that affect. This makes it hard to understand how Nero has no trouble burning cds at all. It seems to me that burning should be next to impossible if previously burned discs can't be read in the first place.

Re: Review of Plantronics Audio 550 DSP Headset
Hello Steeve, What if you're just starting out with pcs but you don't yet have internet, how are you suppose to get the software for those headphones? - Original Message - From: Steve Pattison [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: PC Audio Pc-audio@pc-audio.org Sent: Monday, June 04, 2007 12:52 AM Subject: Review of Plantronics Audio 550 DSP Headset I came across the following review recently. I mainly use this USB headset with Skype and find it works very well. -Steve. Plantronics Audio 550 DSP Headset Makaveli - 2007-05-14 19:38:13 in Reviewed by: Makaveli Reviewed on: May 15, 2007 Manufacturer: Plantronics Provided by: Plantronics Price: $119.95 USD Introduction: Everyone has heard the phrase, Get your head in the game. What's a better way to get into the game than by absorbing the sound and blocking outside noises? Can a Plantronics .Audio 550 DSP headset put your head into the game so that you can play the game how it's supposed to be played? Let's get these things on and find out! Plantronics has been manufacturing lightweight communications headsets since 1962. Recently, the company has offered mobile headsets and next-generation computer audio headsets. Plantronics continues to pursue being a trend-setter in its respective markets. Closer Look: The package sets a good tone for the enclosed product because it looks simple, professional, and it displays the product. I like to see what I'm getting into when I purchase a product, so it was good to be able to see the headset up close and personal before I opened the package. The back of the package lists the specifications and features of the product with a picture of the headset all laid out. I was also intrigued by the message at the top of the back side of the packaging. It boasts about how a set of Plantronics headsets were used to communicate from the first moon landing crew to NASA in 1969. Enough babbling, let's get this thing out of the plastic! Now while it's not impossible, it is fairly difficult to open the plastic. I had to pry it open with quite a bit of force and I almost thought about getting a pair of scissors. Once it was out, I could already tell that the cable was going to be very long, which is a huge plus. I'm not going to lie, I have a big head, so I had to make sure the headset could accommodate me, as well as other users who have big heads. Below you can see a picture of one side of the headset pulled down the farthest it can go, along with the other side pushed up as far as it can go. The top of the headset is a very comfortable pad which can, to an extent, move horizontally, though it does not move vertically. The ear cups have the same padding as the top of the headset but slightly thicker. The speakers themselves are 40mm large. I like the red color of the speakers because it goes well with black and it's discreet. Closer Look: The microphone is very unique on this headset. For starters, it has a very nice level of resistance when you pull it down. I like that because it gives you a sense of sturdiness; it's not going to move when you move your head or the headset. The mobility of the microphone isn't as good as I would like it to be. The image on the left shows the microphone in its up position, and the picture on the right shows how far the microphone can be pulled down. Something that disappoints me is that the microphone can't be rotated 360 degrees because I know some people who like to have the microphone on the right side of their headset. Let's examine the cable now. The cable is three meters long, so it should suffice for most people. There is a volume control about a foot down from the headset which is very cool. It has 3 buttons: volume up, volume down, and mute. The mute button is very useful because it mutes only your microphone, so you can still hear others. When you have mute on, the outer ring of the button glows red. Down the wire you'll find an orange band that has 7 different languages telling you to go to www.plantronics.com/downloads and get the PerSono software. I think this is kind of weak because what if you don't have internet access? Before I forget, the cable is connected via USB. Near the bottom of the cable is a little casing surrounding the cable which displays the Plantronics logo and the technology that the headset uses (DSP - Digital Sound Processing). Installation: To install your headset, just plug it into a free USB port. The only down side to installing it is that the headset disables your speakers immediately. Now, go to the download page on Plantronics' website and download the PerSono software and install it. Configuration: The software which you use for the headset is called PerSono. It is a small program that goes hand-in-hand with the Windows audio controls. There are two different tabs - headphone and microphone. Under the headphone tab, you can change the balance, bass, and treble of your headphones, as well as which style you'd like to have on. The different

High Mac, I agree, we all should vote on it. - Original Message - From: Mac Norins [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: PC audio discussion list. pc-audio@pc-audio.org Sent: Thursday, May 31, 2007 1:20 PM Subject: Re: List Name In Subject Line It is interesting that a couple of list owners have chimed in, on this subject. Also, what about people's extensive footers, where they advertise the hell out of whatever it is that they are trying to promote? I think this is one of those things where it depends on one's level of expertise, on the computer, as to how one handles E mail, coming and going! Should we ask the other list owners to delete their tags, before making a decision, on what to do with this list, which, I may also add, has gone through a couple of owners, in the last couple of years? Until we all learn how to filter messages, it is a moot point and those with that expertise ought to help others, without it, to get to that point, not just complain about the verbiage! I think the extensive footer verbiage is more of a problem, as it seems like bill board clutter, which only some of us can even say that they have ever seen, say, walking down a street! Adrian Spratt has the right idea, which I, for one, will embrace. This is not one of those lists, to my way of thinking, where one can definitely say that one's level of expertise has to be such that a problem of this kind cannot be overcome, even though it takes a number of messages to get to a point, where the problem gets solved! Just look at the number of posts, on the subject, if you want to talk about verbiage! Put it to a vote, Tom!

It's just that I've had the same issue with certain CD's. Never been able to quite work it out but certain CD's seem able to uncheck the checkbox for a small number specific tracks on the album. Came across it most recently with the latest Funeral For A Friend album. I'd suggest that you either disable the automated rip or stop it immediately. Then, tab around 12 times down to the list of tracks. Arrow down each of the tracks and press spacebar to check any that are currently unchecked. I do this exclusively now to save having to go back to gettracks that the auto rip didn't pick up. Regards.

Re: Eliminating audio tape squeal
Hello everyone, I think I know what's cossing that problem. Air can get in to tite places. air always lieves dust and when it gets on magneted tape, it makes that squilling sound when you try to play it. Removing dust from one of these is a time consuming process. This may sound crazy, but it works. In the open end of the casset, run some water over the tape, but let it set and dry for up to 5 days. Rewind and fastforword just to make sure the tape moves threw the machine without any problem. After that, then try and play the tape. If it runs smoothley and you don't hear the squilling sound any mor, then you have done this successfully. I hope that this tip has been of some help to you, good luck. - Original Message - From: Bob Seed [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: PC audio discussion list. pc-audio@pc-audio.org Sent: Saturday, May 26, 2007 9:09 PM Subject: Re: Eliminating audio tape squeal Try another cassette in the machine and see what happens.

Re: Eliminating audio tape squeal
Hello again everyone, There are head cleaning kits that you can get from a full line electronic store such as RadioShack. There ar two kinds of head cleaning kits. There is the dry kind, but I found that that kind doesn't work to well. There is also the wet kind which uses an alcohol baced solution. This does wonders for any tape recorder. But however, cleaning the heads won't get red of the squilling sound that you hear on some old dusty tapes. When dust gets on the tape, it cosses that problem. - Original Message - From: Norma A.

Would you please remind me what is a safe solution to clean with? And the squeal does come through the speaker and headphones. Other tapes play just fine. I should probably state this is not a huge deal; it regards tape 1 of an NLS audio book I got late last week so I could read it over the long weekend. So, if my efforts don't resolve the problem, I'll just send it back and re-order hopefully a better copy.

Dave Technology Review Tuesday, May 08, 2007 Audio Menus for iPods By Kate Greene Download an MP3 version of this story http://www.audiodizer.com/technologyreview/infotech/download.aspx?id=18 703 Researchers are testing ways to let people listen to gadget menu options instead of looking at them. Clicking through the menu on your iPod demands a significant amount of visual attention, which can be a hassle (while jogging) and even dangerous (while driving). But engineers at the University of Toronto and Microsoft Research are working on software that could make it possible to navigate the menus of gadgets that use circular touch pads, like the iPod, without looking at them--only audio cues would be used. The researchers have designed an auditory menu technique--called earPod--that provides audio feedback when a person drags his or her finger around the touch pad. Although it's not ready to replace the expansive menus on real iPods, the results are encouraging, says Patrick Baudisch, a research scientist at Microsoft Research, in Seattle, who worked on the project. LINK: http://www.patrickbaudisch.com/ Within 30 minutes of beginning to use the technology, people can navigate two levels of earPod menus faster than traditional visual menus, and just as accurately. Requiring constant visual attention while using a PC is reasonable, says Baudisch, but if you're using an iPod on the road, [constant visual attention] is unreasonable. In addition to giving people back their eyes, he says, audio menus could help gadgets save battery life by not wasting energy on a screen, and they could add functions to the screen-free devices such as the iPod shuffle. The idea of using audio menus isn't new. Auditory interfaces can, after all, be found in touch-tone phone menus and in various assisted technologies for seeing-impaired users. But historically, handheld consumer gadgets haven't widely used audio menus. There are a few reasons for this, says Bruce Walker, professor in the school of psychology and college of computing at Georgia Institute of Technology. LINK: http://sonify.psych.gatech.edu/~walkerb/ One reason, he says, is that audio hardware and software have been resource intensive, requiring significant amounts of computation and energy. In addition, audio software has been difficult to program. But computing power is becoming cheaper, and there is an increasing need to find different ways to interact with handheld devices, says Walker. Within the past 10 years, he says, the ubiquity of mobile devices with small displays has made us all visually impaired. Currently there are only a handful of researchers who are systematically looking at ways to make better audio interfaces for various devices, but Walker expects the ranks to grow in the coming years. This first earPod prototype has a two-level menu hierarchy with 8 items per category, for a total of 64 items. To test how well people use the system, the researchers assigned to the first menu level a random assortment of categories: clothing, fish, instrument, color, and four others. The next level contained eight examples of these items. The iPod analogy would be found in the opening menu, which includes music, extras, settings, and then lower menus that include playlists, artists, and albums, for instance. The earPod approach could be extended to read off a limited number of names of artists and songs as well. EarPod was designed specifically for gadgets with circular touch pads, says Baudisch. The circular touch pad is evenly divided into eight sectors: it's cut like pieces of a pie, with each menu item associated with each piece. When a person touches the dial of an earPod-equipped gadget, the audio menu responds with a prerecorded human voice. If a person puts his or her finger at 12 o'clock on the touch pad, the voice might say Color, indicating that the finger is on the color sector. When the finger crosses one of these invisible sector lines, the user hears a clicking sound. As a finger moves, a new menu item is announced. To select an item and go to the next menu level, the user lifts his or her finger and hears a camera-shutter sound, which indicates that an item has been chosen.

Re: Macromedia Flash Players And Screen Readeing Software
Dear Tom, I think you misunderstand me here. I happen to know that Jaws and Window Eyes are 2 diffrend types of software that helps those of us who can't see how to read our computer screens. Now I'm not trying to get in to a fight here, first you should know those of us who don't have eyes that can see, our hand and ears are our eyes. Jaws and Window Eyes are autible software, they make the computer screens talk. Don't take my word for it, ask another blind person about these 2 diffrent kinds of software, see what they say. Cence you happen to know about these other diskussion groops for blind computer users, how about giving me the links to them. I think you have a distorted view about my addatood, I know what this groop is about. And persize, I don't see you going after any one about things like tv tuner cards, whitch is somthing I'm also thinking about. I don't believe I've said anything rong. I have a very strong faith in the Lord God hoom I serve. If I said or done anything rong, he would correct me in a hartbeat. I will say a prayr for you that you will be a little more understanding then you are. If any of us happen to be in the rong place seaking help witha persific problem and if you know whare we can go to get that help, then by all means, please tell us by giving us the links to these sights. Not all of us know whare to look for the kind of help we need, so a lot of us stick to what we know. So please tell me, whare is the harm in that? - Original Message - From: Tom [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: pc-audio@pc-audio.org Sent: Sunday, May 06, 2007 5:16 PM Subject: Re: Macromedia Flash Players And Screen Readeing Software John, No, the pc audio list is not about helping blind computer users. It's for anyone who wants to discuss using audio on a computer and only audio on a computer, and that's why it is called pc-audio. Would you go into a grocery store and demand they sell you a computer just because you are a blind person and you just happen to be there? When you subscribed to the pc audio list you received a welcome message with all the guidelines for the list. You were asked to remove yourself from the list if you didn't agree with the guidelines. There are several other lists where general computer questions can be discussed. Frankly, I think you have a very poor attitude as to what you should and should not expect because you are blind. It's a sighted world we live in and if the sighted adapt to us that's great but most of the time it's going to have to be the other way around. ** Message Separator ** Hello Tom, Read this thred very carefully.

Re: Direct speech output
Hello John, It has been over 20 years cence i've used a Mack computer. Back then, they were called Apple-2 computers. They had these cards that plugged in to a slot on the mother board. These cards were called eccoe speach centhisisers. They would read the text on the screen to you, but if the text happen to be in a box, it was a pane to get it to read it to you. Maby I'm using the rong mejuring stick to mejur a pc against a Mack or vice versa, I thot that you had to have some kind of software to make a Mack read the text that shows up on it's screen.

If I can remember correctly, I payed $165.95 each for boath complete kits. And for the speakers, I payed $75.95 each+shipping. I use my computer to downlode alot of music, and I have tryed lots of computer speaker systems, none of them gave me the kind of soun I was looking for. So I made my ohn, I am very happy with it. If you know what you are doing, these tube amplifiers are easy to billd. But ladies and gental men out their, please be very careful, they requier 120 volts to operate them, but 200 to 250 volts are on the cirket boards of each one of these. The models for the amplifiers are the 12-G, the speakers are the Jensen P-8-Q. If you don't want to go the rout that I went, Sound Blaster has some pretty good speaker systems.

Re: SoundBlaster Audigy 2 zs Question
Hello, Your exessting sound card won't do surround sound. The Series 3 or higher will tho. But usually, in the soundsaudio devices, you will find the settings for volume, speakers, cd play back and others. Your dorectional keys is how you will make the ajusments. - Original Message - From: Thomas [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: PC audio discussion list.

Re: Burning CDs With Windows Media Player
Hello Tom, I've used Windows Media Player 11 to burn cds. I didn't have that kind of problen, but I did run in to this kind of a problem. I ripped a cd that I wanted to make myself a coppy of. I found that you had to play them all to get them all on to the cd. Because if you didn't, WMP11 would only burn one of those songs on to the cd, and lieve the other 12 or 13 or so out. That is why I myself switch back to Windows Media Player 10. So everybidy out their, watch out for that, because that can be a reall pane. - Original Message - From: Tom [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: pc-audio@pc-audio.org Sent: Sunday, April 08, 2007 2:37 PM Subject: Burning CDs With Windows Media Player I'm posting this message for a list member who is having trouble posting to pc audio. Tom Hi folks, Recently a friend of mine updated their windows media player from 10 to 11 and have been having a strange problem with burning CD's ever since. Here's what happens. After putting their compilation together and starting the burn process, two thirds of the way through the procedure an error dialog comes up that says that windows media player is unable to burn the CD and to use a slower writing speed or to purchase a different brand of disk. The writing speed is set at 16X which should more than suffice or an accurate burn these days. And no matter what brand of CD they try this error happens. Personally, I've had this error myself when I first tested media player 11 and have since reset mine back to 10 and the error never happened again. Anyone else have this trouble and is there a permanent fix that you can recommend for it?

Re: Easy CD-DA Extractor
Hello Vicki, What you are running in to, is a coppy right protection problem. I have downloded songs and podcast from I Tunes and tryed to use D Power Amp to convert them, it would not do it because of that. - Original Message - From: Vicki [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: PC-Audio pc-audio@pc-audio.org Sent: Friday, April 06, 2007 1:38 PM Subject: Easy CD-DA Extractor Does anyone have any idea why Easy CD-DA Extractor wouldn't be converting some of my m4A or MP4 files? I'm using version 9.1.3 pro, and I get an error message that there was a problem decoding. It doesn't do this with all my files, but these particular files are podcasts related to I-Tunes. Is there a setting I should change in either the program or the files? Thanks.

I currently am trying to use Sound Forge for recording music, but I'm getting a lot of skips in the sound. I was wondering if Goldwave is less CPU intensive for recording music.
