Re: plugins for gold wave

2009-03-30 Thread Bruce Toews
They wouldn't. What I'm saying is that, for someone who hasn't already 
purchased Gold Wave and wishes to, they should do so now because the cost 
will go up for version 5.5. However, the GWVoice plugin will be integrated 
into Gold Wave.

Re: Affordable cell phone and talking software

2009-03-30 Thread Christopher Chaltain
Sorry. I'm not the moderator, so I'll obviously defer to the moderator, 
but at the pc-audio.org web site it says:


PC-audio is a list for the discussion of any PC audio related topic such 
as PC audio software like sound editors, audio players and audio 
formats; and hardware like sound cards, CD and DVD devices and so on.


While the subject matter is wide ranging, this is not a forum for the 
discussion of non-pc-audio matters. There are many other lists for 
political or other discussions.


My interpretation is that this does not extend to any talking or audio 
playing device but rather PC based software and hardware. As stated 
above, there are lists for accessible cell phones, accessible 
electronics and so on. If my interpretation is to  narrow then I stand 
corrected!

Re: converting other file types

2009-03-30 Thread Christopher Chaltain
I use Switch Audio File Conversion Software from 
http://www.nch.com.au/switch/index.html. You can download the trial ware 
for free. When the trial period runs out, you can still convert WMA to 
MP3 using the free version of Switch. Since you're converting from one 
lossless format to another, will result in a loss of sound quality. It 
isn't clear whether this would be noticeable or not though. That would 
depend in part on the type of audio and the bit rates and sampling rates 
used in the source and target files.

Subject: Re: converting Audible files to other formats

Thanks all for the information. I personally didn't interpret "do not
decompile, disassemble, or reverse engineer the Audible Content" as
prohibiting me from converting the media format. Maybe if it had said
electronic content instead of "audible content" I might have 
interpreted
it differently. After all, you are allowed to download it, stream it 
and

write it to CD for your own personal use. Granted, I might have read
this with a pair of rose colored glasses on.

I guess my main point was two fold. First, I saw quite a few sites 
which
claimed that their product was a legal way to convert Audible files 
into

other formats and other sites which talked about what was and wasn't
legal given Audible's terms and conditions, the DMAC, fair use and 
court

cases, which lead me to believe that it isn't clear what is and isn't
legal in this case.

Second, as others have stated on this list, I doubt any company or law
enforcement agency would prosecute anyone who was making copies for
their own personal use and was scrupulous about making sure those 
copies

didn't end up in anyone else's hands. Note that I also feel it's clear
that sharing these files, even with a few friends, is illegal, although
maybe not unethical.

Bruce,

This is an intelligent but very literal reading. I don't know about
Canada, but in the US, copyright law has a fair use exception. There
is really nothing to stop an individual from making copies or
otherwise using products they own for their own purposes. I assume
the manufacturer's purpose behind the provision you quote is to
discourage dissemination of these materials. But if individuals don't
have that intention, I doubt the manufacturer would have any reason
to care. Correct me if I'm overlooking something. All that said, I
share your concern that we all respect copyrighted materials and use
them only for ourselves and maybe a friend or two.

Hello Kieth.

Haven't time to give links, but there is quite a choice of sound editors
that work with screen readers generally including JFW.

Paid for stereo editors include:
Sony:
Sound Forge, Sound Studio

Goldwave

Studio Recorder from A P H.  - this doesn't need scripts or anything as 
it

is designed from the ground up to be accessible.  Can be used for music,

but

is primarily meant for speech editing.

Audacity, which is freeware or open source software.  Believe there are

JFW

scripts for this one.  It is a multi-track editor but can of course be

used

for stereo editing.

In the multi-track field there is Sonar or Cakewalk which it developped

from

I believe.  tthis is a combined audio and midi editor and very much aimed

at

musicians.  Think the scripts here come from Dancing Dots.

Finally, their is Adobe Audition, but how well this works with JFW I

simply

don't know.  this was known as Cool Edit until Adobe acquired it, since

when

it has gone through a few inaccessible versions, but I hear things are
beginning to be put right re. post version 3.

So, hope all that helps and a bit of Googling will turn up the info you

need.

Re: music sound editer

2009-03-30 Thread Christopher Wright
If you choose to use Sonar, there's also a free set of Jaws scripts called
JSonar. You can go to

www.jsonar.org

to read about it and download it.

Since you'll be learning Sonar for the first time, I recommend the
CakeTalking package from Dancing Dots. That comes with plenty of
documentation.

Hello Kieth.

Haven't time to give links, but there is quite a choice of sound editors
that work with screen readers generally including JFW.

Paid for stereo editors include:
Sony:
Sound Forge, Sound Studio

Goldwave

Studio Recorder from A P H.  - this doesn't need scripts or anything as it
is designed from the ground up to be accessible.  Can be used for music, but
is primarily meant for speech editing.

Audacity, which is freeware or open source software.  Believe there are JFW
scripts for this one.  It is a multi-track editor but can of course be used
for stereo editing.

In the multi-track field there is Sonar or Cakewalk which it developped from
I believe.  tthis is a combined audio and midi editor and very much aimed at
musicians.  Think the scripts here come from Dancing Dots.

Finally, their is Adobe Audition, but how well this works with JFW I simply
don't know.  this was known as Cool Edit until Adobe acquired it, since when
it has gone through a few inaccessible versions, but I hear things are
beginning to be put right re. post version 3.

So, hope all that helps and a bit of Googling will turn up the info you need.

Re: Juice Receiver 2.2 with Vista OS

2009-03-30 Thread Caroline Ford
I had to set Juice to run in XP compatibility mode under Vista before it 
would work properly.  I found the following instructions on how to do it on 
the internet:


1. Download, install, then browse to the installation folder (program 
files\juice)

2. Change the EXE compatibility mode to Windows XP SP2 [right-click the
executable, flip to the Compatibility tab, place a checkmark in the 'Run
this program in compatibility mode', then press the OK button]
3. Open Ipodder.cfg with Notepad and change the output directory from "My
Documents" to "Documents" - which is found under
C:\Users\username\appdata\Roaming\iPodder
[by default]
4. Launch Juice

Replay Converter 3.32 audio alerts settings & response from developer to me

2009-03-30 Thread Petro T. Giannakopoulos

Petro saids
Wait for the new Replay AV 8 whenever it comes out and you will get the latest 
version of Replay Converter included and installed at the same time.

The developer said

You are very welcome.  When I added the audio alerts I had you and the blind
community in mind.  There will actually be another update to Replay
Converter coming soon.  In the next version, I decided to add different
audio alerts depending if a conversion was successful or not.  The version
that is out now just alerts when a conversion process finished no matter if
it was successful or not.

This may be primarily of interest to UK subscribers, but I think the

being discussed here can be accessed outside the UK.

Posted originally on Blind Audio, I'm forwarding this to a few lists as,
though not effecting me personally, I nonetheless feel Microsoft should be
made to listen and act positively in this matter.  (Direct email contact 
at

end of message)


Ray

Forwarded message.

Please do pass this around any lists you can, I need as much
feedback as possible.

Dear all,

Many thanks to those of you who have contacted me recently regarding
Internet Explorer 8, and the compatibility issues that Microsoft have with
embedded real audio.

I have two separate and long conversations with Microsoft IE8 technical
support over the last couple of days, and they have confirmed that there 
is

a serious compatibility issue.

To cut a long story short, I believe that those of you who received the
update for Internet Explorer 8 in the last few days (roll out began March
18) will only hear silence when accessing http://www.pressakey.net and any
other page on the Audio Network.

As yet, there are no plans for a patch to fix this problem.

I'm asking for your help in confirming this issue, which I am going to 
take

to Bill Gates if I have to.

Please would you let me know if you can hear any audio on the following 
web

page, and what browser you are using. It means a lot to be able to show
Microsoft that is is a real issue with more than one person.

Please try to listen to

http://www.pressakey.net/

Just for yours and everybody else's information, I did a quick count up of
the total page views and visitors for the Audio Network over the last 12
months. On average there are over 400 visits per day, and over the last 12
months visitors have opened up almost half a million pages  - I know that 
is

small compared to the "big guns" I am talking with, but I hope that those
kind of numbers might just show them that people are finding the site
useful, informative, fun, and a part of their lives on a regular basis!

Please pass this on to as many people as you possibly can, asking them to 
do

the same, and let me know the results by return of e-mail.

Thank you for your help and support,

Thanks!

Bill Tiel.

 Bruce,

 This is an intelligent but very literal reading. I don't know about
 Canada, but in the US, copyright law has a fair use exception. There
 is really nothing to stop an individual from making copies or
 otherwise using products they own for their own purposes. I assume
 the manufacturer's purpose behind the provision you quote is to
 discourage dissemination of these materials. But if individuals don't
 have that intention, I doubt the manufacturer would have any reason
 to care. Correct me if I'm overlooking something. All that said, I
 share your concern that we all respect copyrighted materials and use
 them only for ourselves and maybe a friend or two.

Subject: Re: converting Audible files to other formats

Thanks all for the information. I personally didn't interpret "do not
decompile, disassemble, or reverse engineer the Audible Content" as
prohibiting me from converting the media format. Maybe if it had said
electronic content instead of "audible content" I might have interpreted
it differently. After all, you are allowed to download it, stream it and
write it to CD for your own personal use. Granted, I might have read
this with a pair of rose colored glasses on.

I guess my main point was two fold. First, I saw quite a few sites which
claimed that their product was a legal way to convert Audible files into
other formats and other sites which talked about what was and wasn't
legal given Audible's terms and conditions, the DMAC, fair use and court
cases, which lead me to believe that it isn't clear what is and isn't
legal in this case.

Second, as others have stated on this list, I doubt any company or law
enforcement agency would prosecute anyone who was making copies for
their own personal use and was scrupulous about making sure those copies
didn't end up in anyone else's hands. Note that I also feel it's clear
that sharing these files, even with a few friends, is illegal, although
maybe not unethical.

Bruce,

This is an intelligent but very literal reading. I don't know about
Canada, but in the US, copyright law has a fair use exception. There
is really nothing to stop an individual from making copies or
otherwise using products they own for their own purposes. I assume
the manufacturer's purpose behind the provision you quote is to
discourage dissemination of these materials. But if individuals don't
have that intention, I doubt the manufacturer would have any reason
to care. Correct me if I'm overlooking something. All that said, I
share your concern that we all respect copyrighted materials and use

Audible's terms and conditions at

Audible Content or create any derivative works therefrom. This
license to the Audible Content you Purchase will continue for as long
as your copy of Audible Content exists pursuant to and in accordance

In doing some searching on the web, there are quite a few sites that
