You're right Narrator does do this. Unfortunately pur minimally and you have to 
shut it off to hear the audio normally again.

Re: NV Access | NVDA 2016.1 Now Available

[hamitcampos]

Ah like the IPhone. Yeah the ducking thing can be a duel edged sword or as I 
like to say, a double bladed lightsaber. You're right it makes it easyer to 
hear the reader and it does come handy when something's a bit louder then your 
screen reader,and you have no Controll. But also you might miss something if 
you are listening to speach. Or you've missed an epic song if tweeting your 
favorite Internet DJ over it. I've had this happen. Thus why I don't listen to 
stuff much on the Phone if I'm gonna be tweeting.

 I don't knock people for having analogue systems or anything else and 
 you pretty much summed it up yourself when you talked about people 
 getting what they could afford to buy and that's fair enough as I'm 
 in that boat too however I do look around for the good audio and if 
 it means I have to save and wait? Well so be it and that attitude has 
 proven its worth beyond question.
 
 Yes an open mind is what's required but all this wasn't really the 
 point I was trying to make, I was asking the question how best to 
 describe the audio difference to someone between what you hear 
 through a DAC and most audio equipment and the difference is certainly 
 that of night and day.
 
 You don't need good hearing to distinguish the difference though 
 certainly you need some decent speakers or some reasonable 
 headphones, you're not going to notice all that much with your $2 
 earbuds which a lot of people are perfectly happy with.
 
 Its like MP3 files I guess, they're perfectly acceptable when you're 
 listening on the bus and so on but you soon notice the difference 
 when you start listening to music on CD'S and so on through 
 reasonable equipment and the difference is even more pronounced when you 
 turn on that DAC .

Re: Zoom H6 Handy Recorder with Interchangeable Microphone System H6

[hamitcampos]

Ah na it's only a de4al to me because I just record out side stuff. You know 
out doors. So somethings i wouldn't want and usually I pause. so it would make 
a lot of files. Which come to think of it perhaps you're right. Either chane 
them into 1, or just keep the folder.

Ah okay. True that you could chane the files together in SF. I guess it's just

Hmm perhaps can't say much as I haven't really owned the 620. But I think I 
touched 1 at Staples. Yeah you read that right. At staples. What I remember of 
it was okay well okayish at least. Unless it was something else I touched. It 
seemed like a 520, but smaller thinner, and more buttons. Oh yeah this had the 
3 mikes.

Oh I've heard Neal Ewers demo it.I was just replying to that person asking how 
accesible it is. I was saying that if talking about me, not so much. I get lost 
without the speach. Heck I got kind of lost on my 4th Gen Nanno when I shut the 
speach off by mistake. Same goes for my DM420. Luckly it's set how I want it. I 
have to say the menus to my self to remember. Orr have someone that sees look 
at the screen and tell me where it's at and then I can kind of find my place.

 Media House is an Android App which literally allows you to browse any

 For example, you could browse the media recorded on your Fetch TV Set Top 
 Box and stream the recordings you’ve made to your Smart Television.
 
 Media House is the first App I’ve seen that takes the DLNA concept and 
 puts it in reverse.
 
 For example, run Media House on your Android device and you’ll see all 
 the media on your Android device on your computer, Play Station, Smart 
 Television or computer with a compatible DLNA Media Player such as 
 Windows Media Player or VLC installed, this would allow you to stream

 fact anything which is DLNA compatible.
 
 Media House is freely available so certainly worth a look.

 Hi!
 
 Has anyone tried this yet?
 
 I don't know where its available in the U.S. but I know that its available 
 from Harvey Norman in Australia or through many Internet Service Providers, 
 I've had mine now for over a month.
 
 The system is incredibly versatile allowing the recording of three 
 free-to-air programmes at any one time, you can also download content from 
 other providers such as Netflix, ABC iView in australia and so on.
 
 The other really nice stand-out feature for me at least - apart from full 
 remote control of the system from your mobile device - is the ability to 
 integrate the FetchTV on a network thus you can browse the shows as files 
 that you've recorded using Windows Explorer or similar, how brilliant is that.
 
 I had to look for an alternative to the trusty Windows media Center for 
 recording video, Windows media Center will be no more once I upgrade to 
 Windows 10, I really should have looked at FetchTV earlier given it has far 
 more flexibility and possibilities than Windows Media Center has and FetchTV 
 is also updated on a very regular basis.
 
 For those who wish to continue using their computer as a video recorder from 
 TV then XBMC is still a very viable option, you may have trouble accessing 
 XBMC from your Windows machine but you can access it through the Mobile Apps.

 clone one might be better because of what you said about the titles. Thanks
 man. I just don't understand why it worked on a 2008 machine and now a 2012
 machine is giving me this DVD Audio Extractor doesn't support Blu-Ray disks
 with BD+ protection load. It's like oh really DVDAE, and you did it just
 fine on that old 2008 Optyplex didn't you. Why you little.
 That's just my point on that. Very suspisus if you ask me. Thanks again
 dude.

 Any DVD is quite accessible but it depends what you want to do.
 
 Any DVD only allows you to overcome the DRM on DVDs and BlueRay disks.
 
 You would then play the DVD or BlueRay using Media Player Home Cinema or
 VLC.
 
 If you want to copy a DVD or BlueRay, you would use the companion program of
 Any DVD which is called Clone DVD and it, too, is quite accessible (even if
 the interface takes a little experimenting to get used to it).  It will, for
 example, allow you to pick and choose between the titles on a disk so you
 get only the English version rather than the German version.
 
 The programs do cost a small amount of money but they are updated on a
 regular basis and I think they are well worth it.
 
 Go to www.slysoft.com for more information.
 
 Why is it called Slysoft?  It is not quite what you might think, they are
 located in Slygo in Ireland.
 
 Hope this helps,

 Hi. Has any one here tried Any DVDD or Make MKV? How accessible are they?
 DVD Audio Extractor was giving me crap about BD + on my Godzilla 1998
 Blu-ray disk. I say it's crapola because it extracted it ever so fine on
 that old Optyplex I had gotten from Computers for the Blind. Now it wants to
 give me that load? Lol! Na seriously, if that's how it is then that's how it
 is I guess. But can one use either of the 2 which one is better? Funny they
 don't bring up the ever so famus Hand Break.
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

Re: Polk Audio Woodbourne bluetooth speaker.

Yeah maybe so. Now the soundlink3 has been brought up, Zilla's roar sounds very 
good on that speaker too. Not so much on the Mini one though. I have the mini 
Bose Soundlink and that was one of the first things I tried on it.

 Hey Guys,
 I’m using a Windows 7 64-bit laptop with Window Eyes 8.4. I have 
 absolutely no experience with buying these, but I want to get some 
 speakers for my laptop. I don’t have a huge amount of space. I’d like to

 Can I get anything decent, or even half decent, for $100, or maybe not too 
 much above that?
 I only have one headphone/microphone jack, so I’d like to get USB speakers 
 if I can to keep that jack free for times when I still want to use the 
 headphones.
 Finally, as I said, I have no experience at all with USB speakers. Can I 
 just plug them into an available port and Windows 7 install an appropriate 
 driver, or do I have to install the driver  from a CD? Will I have to 
 worry about accessibility problems with that?

 the full version or PowerDVD14?
 i'm using jaws15.
 
 
 

Re: VCR Converting

The easyest choice would be to use one of those VCR DVD recorder things. Here's 
the catch though. You'd have to buy one. I know HSN, and QVC have them some 
times, but where else can one get one? Your other choice of using a computer 
all the way is actually a bit harder. It's all real time so you would have to 
weight on it to later eddit the file/files. Oh yeah, this would also require 
you to buy a capture card to put into the computer of choice to do this with.

 I have some vcr tapes I want to digitize.  Ideally, I want to edit out the 
 commercials in these tapes so I don't have to fiddle with fast forward to 
 skip them.  Is there any software/hardware package which will make this 
 possible?  The way I see it is either I have to convert from tape to computer 
 and make the dvd from the computer, or copy the tape to a dvd on a dvd 
 recorder and edit that file on the computer and then make an edited dvd from 
 the computer.  I don't know which is possible.  None of these shows is 
 commercially available or I wouldn't be going through this.  Thanks.
