Re: Accessible Sirius Receiver Suggestions Please?

2007-10-18 Thread Norma A. Boge-Conyers
I really think a lot of the antenna placement depends on 
location.  I'm in central Iowa, and I have one antenna which sits 
atop our kitchen cupboard, pointing straight up.  The other is on our 
deck, southwest side of the house, again pointing straight up.  Each 
person needs to experiment and see what is best for them.  Norma

The antenna comes with a 21 foot long wire, so it is possible to mount the
antenna on a rooftop if necessary. If you have an internal wall facing south
that might work, however if there is a overhang that could also pose a

of the signal coming from the cluster of transmitting satellites. The
antenna is mounted on a hinged type base that can be adjusted to maximize
the strength of the incoming signal in much the same way that one adjusts a
TV or FM radio antenna. I find that a 45degree angle of the antenna seems to
worke best for me.   . .

  Bob, is a window with a southern exposure necessary for this antenna to
  function properly?? We have windows facing east or west. Nothing facing

  Larry,
  The sirius unit that I have is called Staarmate3. It comes complete with
  both car and home kits. The unit can be used in both the car and in the
  home. It also comes with two antennas, a small car antenna with a
  magnetic
  back, and a much larger antenna that can be fastened to a windowsill with
  a
  southern exposure. The catalogue number is: 1219809813 from the Source in
  Canada. They have two other models that are slightly newer with the same
  features of the unit that was previously mentioned. By the looks of the
  photograph it appears that these models also have raised buttons as well.
  The model numbers ar as follows: 1219812 and 1219807. All units come with
  a
  built-in FM transmitter so that you can transmit your favourite station
  to
  an FM radio in another room. Hope this helps.

  about sattelite receivers. I did phone XM, and was told they had no
  receivers with raised buttons. Probably not true, but I didn't
  appreciate
  the brush off.
 
  Now then, after reading your post, I have 2 questions. First, what is
  the
  name or number of the sirius model that you're using? Second, when you
  say
  that I would need to purchase the boombox that this unit would clip in
  to,
  are you talking about a standard stereo system or something else related
  to
  sattelite technonogy. Please forgive these very basic questions, but my
  only
  sattelite listening experience is through XM on Winamp.
 
  Thanks in advance.

  Larry,
  I don't think that you are going to find a satellite receiver with
  speech
  output. The particular unit that I have is pretty straight forward, and
  the
  buttons are raised and are in a straight row at the bottom of the unit.
  They
  appear as little dots that are easy to feel. There are long bar type
  buttons
  on the front panel off to the left that perform other functions, and on
  the
  boombox itself there is a cluster of raised buttons; volume up, volume
  down,
  off, and mute. When you change channels you hear a little beep that
  tells
  you that you are indeed changing channels. The Source has this
  particular
  unit on sale for I believe to be $129. This of course, does not include
  the
  boombox that the unit clips into. This is a good unit for people with
  low
  vision, as the faunt on the display window can be changed. Ideally it
  would
  be nice to have a unit that would tell you verbally what song is
  playing.
  I
  am wondering if a speech device could be hooked up to the unit to read
  out
  the information on the display window. I think that it is dooable. This
  would be similar to the device that reads out the frequencies on ham
  radio
  equipment.

Replay AV List

2007-10-18 Thread Mike Pietruk
The recent discussion concerning Replay Av 8.30 prompts me to mention that 
there exists a discussion list oriented for screen reader users of this 
truly fantastic and speech friendly program. 
To subscribe, send a msg to

[EMAIL PROTECTED]

and in the subject line, type

subscribe

I have no vested interest in the list other than liking to see more 
participants which would lead to greater sharing of information.

The program's url finder feature in and of itself is more than worth the 
$50 or so pricetag for the program in my estimation.  And even if you 
never recorded a show or station, the ability to combine one's audio 
streams under a single umbrella may too make it worth the price for many.
And, of course, you get the recorder to boot grin!!

Anyway, the subscription address, once again, is

[EMAIL PROTECTED]

with the word

subscribe

in the subject line.

Well. When you have files you candownload the new winamp

can find a button nmed auto-tag. sometimes it works and 
sometimes not.
Then you have id3-tags.

Annoying static in recording

2007-10-18 Thread Kathy Szinnyey
   Hi, gang!  I recently recorded a great conversation using an R09 and 
external mikes.  I think the battery was low, which might be why there was 
this static throuout the recording.  In any case, is there any software that 
can at least cut down on some of that static?  It's not hiss.  It's almost 
as if there was that kindof static you get when a mike jack is on the fritz, 
but mercifully I haven't had that problem since.  Would Soundforge  (the 
full version which we don't have yet) or Goldwave or something like that 
help?

Peace,
Kathy

Re: Accessible Sirius Receiver Suggestions Please?

2007-10-18 Thread Bob Seed
Ideally you want to try out the store demo in order to get a feel  as to how 
the unit will work for you. . Once you become accustomed to the button 
configuration you shouldn't  have any difficulty in operating the unit. As 
mentioned in a previous post the buttons on most of the Sirius receivers are 
raised making navigation a breeze. In doing my research on satellite 
receivers a year or so ago, I found the XM receivers to have square flush 
mount buttons making the unit very streamline. The buttons on the XM radio 
that I saw were very much like the buttons that you find on the latest 
models of cell phones. flush mount to the faceplate of the unit. The XM 
units may have changed considerably since then. You will just have to check 
it out for your self. When it comes to programming it is six of one and a 
half dozen of another. Then there are the subscription fees that one has to 
deal with. I have the two year plan with Sirius, but will probably opt out 
for the lifetime membership plan. You pay once and forget about it. .  . . .

 The antenna comes with a 21 foot long wire, so it is possible to mount 
 the
 antenna on a rooftop if necessary. If you have an internal wall facing
 south
 that might work, however if there is a overhang that could also pose a
 problem. The antenna has to be facing south, otherwise you will have
 dropout
 of the signal coming from the cluster of transmitting satellites. The
 antenna is mounted on a hinged type base that can be adjusted to maximize
 the strength of the incoming signal in much the same way that one adjusts

 Larry,
 The sirius unit that I have is called Staarmate3. It comes complete 
 with
 both car and home kits. The unit can be used in both the car and in the
 home. It also comes with two antennas, a small car antenna with a
 magnetic
 back, and a much larger antenna that can be fastened to a windowsill
 with
 a
 southern exposure. The catalogue number is: 1219809813 from the Source
 in
 Canada. They have two other models that are slightly newer with the 
 same
 features of the unit that was previously mentioned. By the looks of the
 photograph it appears that these models also have raised buttons as
 well.
 The model numbers ar as follows: 1219812 and 1219807. All units come
 with
 a
 built-in FM transmitter so that you can transmit your favourite station
 to
 an FM radio in another room. Hope this helps.

 that I would need to purchase the boombox that this unit would clip in
 to,
 are you talking about a standard stereo system or something else
 related
 to
 sattelite technonogy. Please forgive these very basic questions, but 
 my
 only
 sattelite listening experience is through XM on Winamp.

 Thanks in advance.

 Larry,
 I don't think that you are going to find a satellite receiver with
 speech
 output. The particular unit that I have is pretty straight forward,
 and
 the
 buttons are raised and are in a straight row at the bottom of the
 unit.
 They

 Vinny:

 you can download the file from my server directly at:
 ftp.compuconference.com/GoldWave_Stuff/GoldWave522.exe

 It's a free upgrade.

 Beginning with this version, you will be able to check for updates from
 the
 GoldWave help menu if one has a licensed copy.

 Hope this helps.

Captchas Re: Winamp Question

2007-10-18 Thread Wes Derby
I know this is a bit late, but something Chris said got me thinking...I 
notice Winamp's forums are powered by vBulletin.  I've also noticed, for 
about six years now, the ANYTHING powered by vbulletin has the captcha code 
associated with sign-up.  I've found three lists (two Opie and Anthony fan 
lists and the Orbitcast forums) who are willing to assist blind/visually 
impaired users in signing up.  However, most of the vBulletin powered lists 
don't give an email address to contact the forum owner or an audio alternate 
to the captcha.  So, what I'm wondering is, is this something each forum 
owner can set up on his/her own, or is this something whoever is in charge 
at vBulletin would have to set up for each forum?

The first time I ever ran into it was signing up for the message board at 
megadeth.com back in like July of 2001.  Part of me thinks the Winamp guys 
would be willing to add an audio alternative, but it makes me think maybe 
vBulletin's software just isn't set up to handle such things, and that they 
need to be made aware of the problem and asked/nudged to fix it.

 Hi Lary. I know this is a couple days late, but sometimes that does
 happen.  But the important thing is this.  The very best way to solve
 the problem is to try to contact the developers, send them some info
 about your error message and anything else that might be necessary.
 The best advice any of us here on any of these lists can give you is
 to just uninstall and re-install but as you said, it doesn't seem to
 help.  Most of the developers seem to hang out at the Winamp forums 
 located at
 http://forums.winamp.com
 Unfortunately they still appear to be using a captcha system which
 doesn't appear to have an audio alternate *make note to self to write
 to them about that*
 but if you ask them via e-mail and explain your reasons for wanting
 to sign up to report a problem, you will hopefully get some
 help.  But that really is the best way to report a major bug like
 that, if it had to do with screenreaders we could approach the
 vendors and ask for help but since this seems like it's a Winamp only
 thing, then the forums are probably your best way to go.
 Hope that helps.

Are there scripts that work with it or is it pretty good out of the box.  I 
only use the scripts because I like some of the extra feedback.

I received this from a professional email list I am a part of. It is 
another text-to-speech program which is free for today only. See below

I just found out that www.giveawayoftheday.com has 2nd Speech Center
as its free download today. 2nd Speech is a text reading software
program that does a pretty good job. It will read documents, email,
internet, etc. GiveAwayoftheDay.com gives one application and one game
away free daily. There is no charge, no registration but you must
install the program and activate it the same day you download it. The
program is free because you get no upgrades and no technical support.
but it's free. I've gotten lots of great programs and games from this site.

You have to hurry for 2nd Speech Center as there is only 10 hours or so
left to download and install it.
