Re: beginners help with youtube?
Hi, Quite awhile ago, there was someone on accessible world who developed a you-tube site where all the graphics were removed, or, there was some way to get around them. I have no idea what the link was called, nore do I remember how to get to it. Can anyone help with this? Thanks.

Hi You can't really download from Youtube itself, it's mainly meant for watching videos, creating playlists and sharing them with social media. If you want to download the audio from it there are a few websites out there that'll do this. One is http://www.youtube-mp3.org it's a very simple site with an edit box for the link for the youtube video you want to download, a convert button and a few other basic links. It's very fast, but the limitation is that it only converts videos that are less than 20 minutes long. If you want something longer than that, yes there are videos that are quite lengthy on youtube, the site you'll want to try is http://www.ListenToYoutube.com One important caviot about this site is that it sometimes likes to throw up a popup window that completely covers up the website, so to get rid of this, simply press control plus f4 and the popup window will close, but the website will stay open. After it's converted your video, it'll have a link that says click here to get your download link, that's when the popup window might happen. But on the resulting ppage, you'll find a button that says, click hhere to download. it's a button so just keep that in mind. I hope some of this helps.

Re: beginners help with youtube?
So a few things here: You can Google for the accessible alternative to Youtube. There are also keyboard shortcuts built into Youtube. If you turn off the virtual cursor, meaning you can't then use first letter navigation keys, you can then use the letters j k and l to rewind, play/pause, and fast forward. If it's Jaws, the keystroke to turn off the virtual cursor is insert Z, and again to turn it back on. However, if you're listening to a YouTube and all you really want to do is pause and get up from your seat for a break, then use the pass through key, which in Jaws is insert 3 on the number row. This lets Jaws ignore the next key press, so you could just press K to pause the video. Then when you're ready, use the pass through key again and type K to resume playing. As far as downloading to make mp3s, I found a nice free one from www.DVDVideoSoft.com and it's a program which installs on your hard drive, and you copy the link from a YouTube and use the program's Paste button, then tab to download. This program has ads, and sometimes it loses focus, but it will do the job nicely. Matthew
