The youtube stream you are trying to capture does it have httpS: with the s 
at the end? If it does remove the s from https: and it should read as http:
Did you reboot the computer?
With youtube you should use download from the internet as your option.
Which screen reader are you using?
I start RMC first presses alt+s and then opens my browser like Firefox and

Did you tinker with any of the RMC settings
Write me offlist and share with the URL you are trying to capture.

Re: replay media catcher and youtube

Replay Media Catcher 5 is capturing youtube using Firefox browser 31 with no 
problems.

Press enter on the library control on main user interface of RMC 5.
Then,
When you tab around do you hear download from the internet or the record 
audio?

As a last option and it will not hurt to do this.
Press enter on Library control on main UI of RM C 5.
Within Replay Media Catcher 5 do an alt+l  for the library menu and choose 
settings then look for the set to defaults button to set RMC 5 to the 
factory defaults.

Replay media Catcher 5 Basic / Advance Mode Sunshine

2014-08-12 Thread Petro Giannakopoulos


Replay Media Catcher 5
Basic / Advance mode
http://www.applian.com

Functionally, there is no significant difference in the view modes.  The 
basic mode presents the interface as thumbnails with limited tabs at the top 
(just Library, Guide, and Schedule).  The advanced view will show all the 
available tabs (Library, internet, Audio, History, Guide, and Schedule) as 
well as the Media Folder navigation on the left.

Replay media Catcher 5 text tutorial

2014-08-09 Thread Petro Giannakopoulos

Replay Media Catcher
5.0.1.2
JAWS 14 Screen Reader
http://www.applian.com

Welcome Screen

After you have installed RMC 5 and runs the program for the first time you 
will be presented with this welcome screen.

Choose the checkbox in this welcome screen and ok to no longer receive this 
welcome screen.
Just be sure you re-read this screen as I cannot remember if this checkbox 
is to be checked or unchecked as you do not need this welcome screen.

The basic/listview/advanced option are only available from the welcome
dialog.  After that has been dismissed then you need to use the View menu
to turn on/off what you want.

---

Configuring The Main Interface

With Replay Media Catcher running you should configure your main interface, 
the UI by

Press enter key on Library tab/module
Press alt+v for the View toolbar menu
Press enter keyboard key on everything located in the view toolbar that does 
not have a check mark next to it except for 'always on top'.

This will show all the modules/tabs that are available on the main user 
interface. They are

Library
Internet
Audio
Schedule
History
Guides

The most important modules/tabs are,

Library
Internet
Schedule
Guides

When you are done go back with alt+v and make sure everything is checked 
except for
the always on top.

---

JAWS Keystrokes for the List View

If you are in another module/tab please

Press enter keyboard key on the Library module/tab on the main user 
interface.
Shift+tab will bring you to the list view
If you have captured something you can do the steps below but if not please 
read on.

While in the list view you can use the following JAWS keystrokes to hear

Name of your recording
Date
Status

To hear the name press
insert+ctrl+numbers row 1

To hear the date press
insert+ctrl+numbers row 2

To hear the status of your recording/download while in the list view press
insert+ctrl+numbers row 3

The status will say downloading, complete and other info like error.

To hear the whole line press insert+up arrow.

---

The List view

Choose the Library module/tab.
Press insert+t - the title bar should say library
Press alt+L to bring up the library toolbar
Choose display list view if it is not checked with your enter key
You have made the list view the default view on the main user interface

OR

Choose the Library module/tab.
Use your tab keyboard key and locate the 'Display List View' button and 
press your enter key.

---

Where is that List View on the Main Interface?

Locate the Library module/tab by pressing your TAB keyboard key multiple 
times on main UI and when you find the Library module/tab press shift+tab 
and you will land on the list view.



Settings and Conversions  Settings

Choose the Library module/tab on main interface.
Press alt+l.
The library menu has the

Settings
Conversions Settings

The settings and conversion settings tab sheets do not work with ctrl+tab 
but do not make any modifications with it. Keep it as is. It works great. 
The blind JAWS user will know to use his route JAWS to PC cursor command.
Then do a left mouse click with JAWS to press/activate the tab sheet tabs 
that he wants to configure.

Then he should go back to PC cursor mode with numpad +.

The route JAWS to PC Cursor keystroke is
Insert+Num Pad minus

Use your arrow keys to navigate the tab sheet text that you wants to 
configure or take a glance at.

For example, locate the Monitor, plug-ins, rtmp, http and the other tabs you 
have on one of the tab sheets in the Internet settings. Route JAWS to PC 
cursor with insert+numpad minus then use arrow keys to find the text 
'plugins' and place focus on the letter 'p' on the text called plugins and 
do a JAWS left mouse click with keystroke Numpad / using the numeric keypad. 
this will activate/choose the plugins tab sheet properties. Go to PC mode 
with numpad +. So go ahead and press your tab key to configure the settings 
for plugins. To go to a different tab sheet repeat the steps above.

So,
While on the main interface press enter on Library module/tab.
Press Insert+t for title bar.
It should say library in the title bar.
Press alt+l to bring up the library toolbar menu items.
Arrow down one time.
Settings item is heard. If not, then up arrow one time.
Press enter on settings.

The settings tab sheet properties appears.

You will land on one of the tab sheets. One of these will say tab checked. I 
don't know for you but one of these will say checked.

Use your right and left arrow keys to review the tabs mentioned below.
The tab sheets are

Library tab, Internet tab, Audio tab, History tab.

You may hear settings tab too but no problem.

For me the Library tab says checked. so I know I am in the Library tab 
property sheet properties which I can examine by pressing my tab keyboard 
key each time one by one.

Try it.

While on a control within the tab sheet that is active insert+tab will read 
that control for you.

Say you want to view the Internet tab sheet next within this settings screen 
you

Re: a replay 8.43 guide error

2014-08-09 Thread Petro Giannakopoulos

You are refering to Applian's Replay AV 8.43 software program and its Replay 
Media Guide. The old Replay media guide is no longer being updated since 
last year as they have created the new Replay Radio 9 software program which 
has a new Replay media guide. Last time I checked the old media guide alot 
of things were broken like the stations, shows and podcasts were invalid. 
Maybe go for Replay Radio 9. You cannot use the newer Replay media guide

Re: Sound card question

2014-07-29 Thread Petro Giannakopoulos

If you tell Windows to use the external sound card in its settings for both 
playback and recording it will always use the external sound card for you 
for your media. You must tell your screen reader to use the other / internal 
sound card in its settings. For JAWS you can do insert j then u then o then 
review the list of available sound cards. In that list you choose the 
internal sound card with enter key. It will have a check mark or will say in

My suggestion is to choose your sound card for music and high quality
audio and select it as your primary sound card.  then direct JAWS to
only use the other sound card.  I have found no need to then configure
multiple players such as Winamp, windows Media, and Quicktimes along
with itunes.  I did configure Winamp though to ensure it uses my
roland sound card and not the internal one because I use Winamp a lot.

You need a Flash add-on installed in your browser, be it Internet Explorer
or Firefox, to listen to a stream transmitted from an online Flash Player.
I use it in order to start streaming automatically as soon as the page
loads.  I can get away with it because I use low volume and provide a button
to stop, others to pause or lower or increase volume.

I think the question is not about a browser but an actual player.
I'd also like to know of a player that allows you to speed up the play of a

Hello Brian:

I mostly listen to my station http://radiogeneral.com from Internet Explorer
using the Flsh add-on, but there are many programs from which you may open a
radio stream, including Windows Media.

I have used MaPlEr for years, because it is truly accessible, but most of
all because you may load a playlist, for instance all the files in a folder,
then navigate in them extremely easy, going from file to file with
down-arrow and up-arrow and advancing and retrocedeing within a file with
just right or left arrow, or in larger increments using Control or Shift
simultaneously.

Finally, you can go to http://stesoft.com and try ShoutOff.

Skullcandy PLYR 2 Wireless headset

Re: Skullcandy PLYR 2 Wireless headset

Thank you. So what I have done here is set my Skype audio settings to
Skullcandy for the microphone
Skullcandy for the call volume
Skype ringer to ring from my internal sound card
All checkboxes are unchecked.
So when someone calls I will hear the Skype ring through my computer's 
speakres.
I press alt+page up keyboard keys to answer the Skype call.
This eliminates having to wear the Skullcandy headset all the time
I was told the voice audio via Skype is mono and not stereo.
Works well for my needs and situation.
I did write to Skullcandy and asked them if they can add a answer call 
button on the headset in a future model.

Well, the Adobe Flash, MaPlEr and ShoutOff are all in English, while
http://radiogeneral.com transmits 24/7 in Spanish, so I imagine it is to the
radio station you are referring to when you proclaim your lack of knowledge
of the Spanish language.

No, RadioGeneral.com is an international  project of Spanish-speaking mostly
blind people of some 25 countries, who present over 100 programs weekly to
thousands of listeners of so far, 104 different countries.  It is something
I started about a year ago and has grown rapidly.

I have, actually have had for a while, plans for a similar online radio
station in English, but have not yet started it due to lack of volunteers
willing to dedicate long hours of altruistic labor for the pure pleasure of
doing radio.  I do not pay royalty fees, nor emit music programs unless we
have the permission of the composer and performer or just the performer, if
public domain. Almost all our programs are unique, programs where people
want to share their passion or expertise, or come from OTR.

To tell JAWS to use the Sigmatell sound card if I lose speech.

you can also order this unit at the above number.

First thing I did after ordering this unit was to read the reviews and the 
how to set it up. Usually one is supposed to do his research first then make 
the order but I did not. The Radio Shack phone representative seemed to know 
what he was saying and was a video game player and understood headsets so I 
took his recommendation. They come in different colors. I really was not 
asked about what color I wanted for the headset to be. Mine are yellow / 
black. The headset is adjustable but not foldable from waht I could tell. I 
have had this unit for only 8 hours so far. Accessories are,
Headset with microphone
1 shorter USB cable
1 longer USB cable
A transmitter

I am not a audio expert and wears a hearing aid. The headset feels 
comfortable to me. I tested the headset with Skype.

I did not wear the hearing aid when wearing the headset.

Have the computer on.
Connect the supplied shorter USB cable to your computer then to the 
transmitter's mini USB slot. You will hear found new hardware.
Connect the supplied longer USB cable to the transmitter's regular USB slot. 
The other end of this USB cable will have the mini USB connector which you 
will use to charge your headset unit. I believe it uses a lithium ion 
battery. I was told to charge it for 12 hours the first time.

Other accessories included are but not used by me are 2 RCA male to 1/8 inch 
cable. A 2.5mm cable for the XBox unit.

Note: The 1/8 inch male cable to 1/8 inch male cable was not supplied. it 
was one the complaints in the reviews so have one handy. They say the local 
Dollar store has them.

The transmitter has an 1/8 inch opening (3.5mm( which you can then connect 
to your computer's headphone output 1/8 inch opening. This is not required 
from what I can tell right now but I tested this and I was able to hear JAWS 
speech while talking to someone via Skype. The Skype user did not hear my 
screen reader's speech output sound.

The headset has ear cups design.
The left cup has the adjustable microphone. You can adust it to your liking.
There is a way to mute the microphone but I have not tested it. You have 
push/move the mic down and it mutes. Move it back up and it unmutes the mic.

The right ear cup has on the outside flat side a round rocker control. It is 
about the size in diameter like a penny or 16-18mm circle. Cannot miss this 
control. If you push up this control to 12 o'clock position the volume will 
go up in increments. At 6 o'clock the volume will go down. At 3 'o clock its 
for gaming mode and 9 0'clock its for voice mode. I use the 9 0'clock here. 
I pushed towards 9 o'clock position.

To the left of this rocker control there is a power button. You will find it 
once you know.

We are still on the right ear cup. It has a EQ presets. 3 presets you can 
choose from. Base, premium and I forget the other one. It slides up and down 
and clicks. Also next to this presets area there is a mini USB slot which 
you connect the loose mini USB connector that extends from the transmitter 
unit. This is how you charge the headset.

So I let it charge for an hour first.

you must pair the headset with your transmitter next.

The transmitter has a button on its top.
The right cup on the headset has the poer button. it is next to the rocker 
control.
You hold down the power button on both the transmitter and Headset for 5 
seconds and let go. Setup says to do it for 2 seconds.

I had no indication that it was paired. maybe I missed something. maybe I 
should have had the headsets on and listen for something.

So I went to my Windows sound settings and examined my playback and 
recording devices. Both read Skullcandy GMX...
So I know it was ppaired successfully.
Since I have my computer setup to use the

Applian Recording Software Windows 8 secure boot

From Applian
http://www.applian.com

Windows 8.1 has new security features which will interfere with the Audio 
Driver in RM6 as well as Replay Media Catcher 5 and Replay Radio 9. For all, 
Secure Boot needs to be turned off in the BIOS in order to pull audio out of 
programs. I am unsure if this is possible to do using your screen reading 
programs.

Petro's suggestion of using a second USB sound card might get around the 
issue, but this is not something that we test at Applian. You might need 
whoever sold you the computer to disable Secure Boot in the BIOS.

Re: Question About Winamp And MP4 Files

Why not just convert this MP4 video to another video format with your 
audio/video converter program? Like WMV or whaterver but note WMV will be a 
much bigger file size and plays in Windows Media Player. If you convert it 
to WMV simply right click the file and choose open with WMP Player. Or first 
open WMP player first and then hit enter key on the WMV file in Windows 
Explorer.

As for winamp starting automatically, it sounds like you accidentally turned

 It looks like you have to click on the link that says download. It lists

 It will probably send you an .exe self-extracting archive. If it doesn't,

Subject: Re: Is Integrated Sound Adequate?

Steve,

It all depends on the kind of system you have and the fussiness of
your ears. At the end of last year, I bought a Dell 8700 computer with
the Intel i7 4770 processor, the fastest chip on the market at the
time. It had built-in HD audio. When the Dell pre-amp was configured,
the audio sounded as good as the M-Audio 24/96 sound card I bought 10
years ago with the highly regarded Casio drivers. The computer came
with separate jacks for a quadrophonic speaker setup as well as 5.1
audio in addition to the regular jacks for traditional stereo, line in
and microphones.  Computers with less sophisticated microprocessors
may not have as many options or HD audio.

That said, I want one sound card for the screen reader and one sound
card for audio playback and recording. To that end, I bought a Roland
Duo USB audio interface for $37 on eBay. It normally retails for $200.
Dancing Dots recommends this audio interface to its customers using
Windows computers. The company is the leader in accessible music and
audio production by the blind. The audio from the Roland interface
sounds real and lifelike and instruments are more distinct than the
integrated sound card. This should be no surprise as the audio is
processed outside the machine in a different cycle from the computer.
Try as they do, Intel and Dell cannot deliver in a mass-market product
the quality that audio focused companies have been doing for years. If
you just listen to spoken word audio and popular music, the integrated
card could be acceptable. If you like listening to classic jazz
performances, classical music, or instrumental music and deejay or
stream capture or edit audio on your PC, then a second sound card or
an audio interface is needed. For a lousy $37, including shipping, why
is anyone anguishing and spending precious brain cells on such an
obvious decision.

 Hi all,

 I'm planning to buy a new computer. With the rapid advancements in
 motherboards and hardware generally I'm interested in people's thoughts
 about whether it's still better to buy a dedicated sound card or have we
 now reached the stage where using integrated sound on the motherboard is
 adequate? I bought my current PC in July 2008 so it is about six years
 old. I'm currently running a Creative sound card.

 I've never used integrated sound on the motherboard on my home PC
 before. Also I don't need the most expensive sound card available but I
 don't want it to be too basic either. One feature I would like is the
 ability to provide some type of virtual surround sound as I have limited
 space where my PC is located and only room for a two speaker system.

 I appreciate there is no right or wrong answer to this question but I
 thought this list would be a good place to ask because there are bound
 to be a lot of people who are a bit more fussy about audio quality etc.

 Any feedback would be appreciated. Thank you.

 Regards Steve.

There is nothing strange about that, Lame is free to the private user, but
it cannot be distributed with free audio software, only the ones you pay for
include it.

I keep a copy of Lame always available for these cases, if you do not have
it, just look for it in Google, it is free to download and use.  When you
convert text to MP3 with this or any other free software, it will ask you
for the location of Lame unless, as Sunshine pointed out, you previously
copy the files to its folder.

Sunshine is also right about its speed, it is slower than for instance,
Balabolka, but I don't think that is a major concern, accuracy is much more
important and time will tell how accurate it is.

Hmmm, the difference in size is considerable and puzzling.  It would be nice
to have a help file in plain text,  since there is no help menu that I can
find.  As far as the Lame files, just look for lame.exe in Google and you
will be able to download it free, then either copy the .exe and .dll to the
program's folder or simply try to convert some text to MP3 and it will ask
you for the location of Lame.

Re: re text to mp3

Hi
I would wait. Will tell you more in the next few days unless Humberto helps 
you. I do not know which voices they have but they use standard SAPI. When I 
went to their website a pleasant Brithis female vocie spoke. Most likely you 
can use the installed voices you have on your computer that are SAPI. 
Usually you will have to install and then point the two files lame and 
lameenc.dll to your C:\program files\Specsoft\ folder

Hi umberto, and all who tried to help. when i tried this programme
again, i got it to work, having added  the lame. one question, i have
coppied a file in to mp3, if i do another one, will it automatically
go to the folder i used before for the input file, and will it
automatically use the output folder. or, will i have to specify the
input and output folders each time. brian.

Yes, you can indeed use all the SAPI voices installed in your computer, I
tried it with a Loquendo voice and an ATT voice.

The Lame folder you download from the internet, uncompress  and save to your
hard drive; the first time you try to convert text to MP3, the program will
ask you for its location; you enter the full path to lame.exe and that's
all, the program will do the rest.  Alternatively, you may copy the lame.exe
and lamenc.dll to the folder where the program resides.

Sounds like you've got some sort of blocking software in use.
They block access to any VPNs, anonymisers, and the lie that
they're aware of.

If you're at work, companies often use this type of programme to

Try https://www.ipvanish.com/ (note HTTPS); this is a secure

What do you mean by tagging here. Are you saying to add the track details 
for songs like artists, album and title manually entered or automatically 
looked up by a database to add this info for your tracks. If you are looking 
for this sort of thing Replay Music has it built into its software when you

 Hi.



 I have some mp3 files that do not have any information for tagging.
 They're
 Track 1, and the like.  I'm looking for something like the Winamp Auto
 tagger, which would tag these files.  I've heard that Mp3 Tag will do
 this,
 but I think the files need to have some basic information in them to be
 tagged, and the files I have don't have anything in them.

Subject: What program can I use to tag mp3 files?


 Hi.



 I have some mp3 files that do not have any information for tagging.
 They're
 Track 1, and the like.  I'm looking for something like the Winamp Auto
 tagger, which would tag these files.  I've heard that Mp3 Tag will do
 this,
 but I think the files need to have some basic information in them to be
 tagged, and the files I have don't have anything in them.



 Thanks in advance for any info.

Re: Tagging mp3 files.

Go to Replay Music's list view and press your context menu keyboard or 
shift+F10 and choose import. Find the files you want and they will be added 
to the Replay Music 6 list view. Arrow to one of your files in the list view 
and press your context menu key and choose edit track. Look at the dialog 
screen.

Hi.



I moved the file with the info on Replay Music, so I'm writing a new message
about what I want to do and what I found out about the program.



By tagging a file, I'm wanting to get the title, artist, album and the year
the track came out.  I looked at the Replay Music program, but it looks like
it's designed for streaming content.  I already have the files on my PC, but
they don't have anything in the metadata, and their titles are something
like Track 01 or Audio Track 01.  I looked at iTunes, and it looks like it
may do what I want.  I'll keep you updated.



Thanks for the info.

Re: I tried Replay Music, and it didn't work.

Did you tell it the genre?

Hi.

I tried Replay Music to tag a file.  The file had Track 1 as the artist, and
I tried to tag the file.  It didn't work.  I'll see what iTunes does with
it.  Thanks for the idea.

Is there anyway you can send me that track by email to,
petro...@clear.net
so I can try it myself. Can you tell me the artist and genre for the song?
