Re: Cingular and the Talks software
Hello Rick, It is wonderful. It works like this: Cingular will tell you that the Nokia 6620 is the only phone that can accommodate the Talks software. But that is not true. the 6620 is expensive; $300. But the software is free. You need to purchase the software from them up front and they will reimburse you after you send back their rebate statement saying you are blind. The $199 is credited to your account. Now as far as the software is concerned, it is wonderful. It uses Eloquence. All menus are accessible. It will even tell you how many items are in a list. You can adjust the volume, pitch, speed and punctuation through the Talks menu and submenu. I am very happy with it. If you need any more info, contact me at [EMAIL PROTECTED] Leslie E.

Hi jim, I am using n Track a little and I would say it rates a B grade in terms of accessibility. things are pretty straightforward, but the one problem I have is that I am unable to arrow up or down from the menu bar. Like if I hit Alt F for file, when I try to arrow up or down all Jaws says is Menu. However, these items can be activated by using the Jaws cursor, and there are some shortcut keystrokes given when reviewing with the Jaws cursor. I spoke with a FS tech and he really couldn't help me, so I guess I am going to have to learn a little scripting to get Jaws and N Track to work better together. it seems like it would be a simple thing to script, I just haven't had the time lately to tackle it. If you know anything about scripting, perhaps we could work together to develop some scripts. This is a great program, well worth the money, IMHO. BTW, I have the current versions of both Jaws and N Track. HTH, Norma [EMAIL PROTECTED] At 10:36 AM 1/3/2005, you wrote: Hi Gang: Has anyone had any luck using N-Track with JFW? If so, how so?

[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Sunday, November 28, 2004 12:33 AM Subject: Re: nero or cd burning question Marty, I have had CD's not play properly and had to reburn the mp3 music on a ifferent brand disc which works better. The cheaper the disc, you lose data on the cheaper ones after some time. There is no setting I can find in Nero that will fix this. When I disc does not burn successfully, or completely, what happens is you have some dead tracks, and the dead disc is referred to in my circle as a coaster. You can either use it as a coaster or throw it away. Some brands are much better than others at holding our data. I'd stick with Imation from Office Max or Regata from Radio Shack. Something that is a more reliable brand and will work every time. The cheaper the disc, well, it's like buying the cheapest cassette, and you know what happens there: bad quality sound and tapes very uneven in recording. Also, I have Nero set to play a trumpet sound when a disc is burned successfuly; a dragon when it is not. When the dragon sounds, I just throw the disc out, because I know there is nothing I can do to fix it. You burn CDR's once. Rewriteable discs, you can burn for a limited amount of time. Some CDRW discs I bought, I found some bad ones in the pack, as well. There is no way for a blind person to tell when a bad one's coming up until it is burned. Yes, it's annoying! The other thing I had to do is slow my burner speed down. 52x is too fast for my processor. When I talked to someone at Radio Shack about this, that's when they told me this. I thought that could be the trouble, but had to have someone else confirm it. Radio Shack sells computers, too. I guess you did not know this. Also, if you are ever in the market for a new computer in the future, why not ring Excell here in Sacramento about it when you're ready? They sell computers to the Society for the Blind here, and won't treat you like a dummy. In fact, I am thinking of getting them to fix me up with my next system. You remember Excel, don't you? And, of course, that's where Curt got his computer. I'm sorry my answer baffles you in some way, but I have to tell you that not all CD's are created equal. I stay away from real cheap ones, even if the deal sounds good. I'd reather pay a little more for good blank discs I can rely on year after year. It's very crucial to me.
