[Blind-Computing] Taking A Slice from an MP3 File

2009-10-07 Thread Bill Gallik
Can anybody advise me as to a good program to take a slice from an MP3 file 
and save it as user named.  In short, I've ripped the sound tracks from a music 
CD and would like to isolate a small sample of one of the songs to use as a 
ring tone on my cell phone.  For example, I would like to take a slice of 
Don't Tell Mama from Gary Alan to use as the ring tone when my Mom's phone 
number calls me.

In fact, I would like to have a specific song for each contact in my contact 
list; then I could turn off caller announcement when out in public and I'd be 
able to tell who's calling by the ring tone.  That is why I bought the extra 
memory for my cell phone in the first place.

Any advice will be appreciated.

Bill,

Check the JAWS users homepage. David has lots of neat
programs up there and I do remember seeing some Mp3
splitting and tinkering programs.  The site can be accessed

Re: [Blind-Computing] JAWS says superscript and spacemarker in Word2003

2009-10-07 Thread Chris Feist
Hi.  I looked in the verbosity settings, and there's nothing there that I
can see that will stop JAWS from saying spacemarker between each word.  Not
sure what to try next.  BTW, this only happens in MS Word 2003.  And it only
happens in spellcheck.  It doesn't happen in Outlook or its spellcheck.

Chris Feist - The one and only!


-Original Message-
On Behalf Of Jacob Kruger

Check out your verbosity settings, brought up using jaws key + V, since
there are various options in there that might decide whether or not it
should announce things like superscript - except that some of these are just
characters called that, and whether or not it should announce non-breaking
spaces as that, or just as spaces.

FWIW, those non-breaking spaces are - I think - typed using something like
shift + space, and it means that if a line break occured near there, it
wouldn't be implemented between the two words being typed.

Stay well

Re: [Blind-Computing] JAWS says superscript and spacemarker in Word2003

2009-10-07 Thread Chris Feist
I do believe this worked for stopping Word from having JAWS say superscript.
I'm crossing my fingers, but I think it's been successful.  Thanks so much
for the directions.  Now if I can only find out how to get JAWS to quit
saying spacemarker as well.  Maybe I might find the answer in some of those
autocorrect settings, but I didn't see anything like that so far.  And the
verbosity settings of JAWS didn't have anything for that that I could see.

On Behalf Of Mike  Barbara

Hi Chris,

Try the steps below to stop JAWS from saying superscript.
If you don't want Word to use the superscript then you can also do the
following:  (this is for Word 2003).

1.  Open the tools menu with Alt-T.
2.  Use the up arrow key to move to the AutoCorrect options menu choice
and press enter.
3.  Use your tab key to move to the page tabs and then use the right arrow
key to move to the auto format as you type page.
4.  Use the tab key to move into a list of choices.
5.  Use down arrow key to move to the ordinals with superscript choice and
uncheck it by using the spacebar.
6.  Use the tab key to move to the OK button and press spacebar.

The above is only if you want to change the way Word replaces ordinals with
the superscript attribute.
Hope this helps.  Take care.

 Hello everyone,
 I an encountered something strange, at least I think.  Every time I type a

 jaws keeps saying super script.  Then my husband said that the typing got

The relevant setting in the verbosity dialogue is non breaking symbols...

It's description tells you it decides if non breaking characters should be

Hi.  Thanks but changing that verbosity setting didn't help.  It looks like
this may be a hard nut to crack.  Hopefully the JAWS 11 upgrade won't do it,
assuming it is JAWS that is the problem, then I won't have to worry about it
anymore.  At least it's only when I'm in spell-check.  Strange that it's
happening on one computer but not the other and they both have JAWS 10 and

Is the new drive formatted the same way as the old drive was? Also is it the 
same type of drive?

David,

Thanks, I'll spare you the long version (ha, ha). A simple
way to sum all this up would be say I have a good image on a
DVD and my current hard drive bites the dust. I go to the
store and buy a new one. I partition it an put it in the
machine and attempt to lay down the image on it and get what
I described to you at the end of the message.  Suggestions?

Al

Al all I can say is if this is a brief description please
don't give me the
long version because I will have to read it very carefully
before even
having a chance of grasping a handle on what you ultimately
ended up with.
Confused in Pennsylvania. I'll review it further.

Subject: [Blind-Computing] Image restore quandary


Well the subject says it all. I will try to be as brief
below as possible to explain my dilemma and hopefully find a
simple answer that I am obviously overlooking.
About a month ago I purchased Image For Windows and am
thrilled with the program. I have successfully created and
restored two different images with no problem. Here is my
current dilemma.
I have two Acer computers. I'll call them Intel and A M D so
as to not confuse them in the below dialogue I'm describing.
My primary in home networked computer was the Intel. The A M
D computer as well as my wife's worked off this Intel unit.
The computer had not been re formatted for about a year and
a half and I also wanted to swap it out for the A M D
machine which has a faster processor and twice the memory. I
know the hours it can take to set a computer up from
scratch so I figured I would simply take the hard drive out
of the A M D computer and use it to set up the Intel
computer as time permitted. The first thing I did was to use
the Image for Windows program to create an image of the A M
D computer.  I then restored that image to confirm it worked
prior to taking the hard drive out and using it in the Intel
machine. I also created an image of the Intel machine before
doing anything just in case something went amuck. I then
unplugged the Intel hard drive and plugged the A M D one
into that unit. I got the factory restore disks out for the
Intel computer and installed them on the A M D hard drive
which was now temporarily in the Intel unit. This erased all
data on the A M D hard drive and created the factory image
of the Intel computer. Everything worked well and I
installed JAWS, a few other key programs I wanted and then
burned a new image with image for windows to use a  starting
point from now on with the Intel computer so I did not need
to take hours setting it up from scratch again. I then
removed the A M D hard drive from the Intel computer and
plugged the Intel one back in. The Intel computer booted up
fine and picked up from where it left off prior to switching
hard drives. I then took the A M D hard drive and put it
back in the A M D machine and put the original A M D image I
had created prior to starting this project back on it. The A
M d computer booted up fine (Just like David said it would)
and it was if nothing had ever changed. Now, for the
dilemma. I wanted to put the new image I created on the
Intel machine on the Intel hard drive  to in essence have a
new, freshly formatted computer. The  image will not go on
that hard drive. What happens is I put the initial disk in
the it boots just like it is supposed to. The tray comes out
and asks for the last disk of the set. I put that in, the
DVD whirs for a minute and then the tray comes out and asks
for the first disk again. When I put this back in I do not
get the dialogue asking for the Y or N to proceed and put
that image on the hard drive.  It goes back to a basic
screen saying boot device cannot be found, press enter to
continue. When I do this the same process repeats but I
never can get anywhere. I thought there may be something
wrong with the Intel machine so I took the hard drive out
and put it in the A M D machine (unplugging the A M D hard
drives) to try on that machine which I know works and same
thing happened. I have even deleted all partitions on the
Intel hard drive and created and formatted new ones to
