[Blind-Computing] Splitting mp3s with JAWS

2009-11-04 Thread Tyler Squire
Hi all,

I'd be curious if anyone here could recommend an easy-to-use program
compatible with JAWS that can be used to split mp3 files, particularly
large single-file audiobooks into multiple smaller files. I've tried out
a couple programs but haven't been able to find any that work
intuitively with JAWS, so any suggestions would be very much
appreciated. If a program like this even exists, I'd ideally like one
that would let me manually enter the start and end split times without
having to use a graphic bar to find and select the start and end points.

Thanks very much in advance for any help!

Hi,
The advantage to AudioBookCutter is that it respects the nearest silence to
the cut point you suggest rather than splitting files in mid-word.

Hi David,

Many thanks for suggesting those links. I've tried installing BookSplit
but get an error message saying that comdlg32.ocx or one of its
dependencies is not correctly registered. Do you, or does anyone else,
happen to know how to resolve this issue?

Thanks again!

[Blind-Computing] Empty Address Bar

2009-11-04 Thread Gerald Levy

Hi listers.  I have suddenly developed a problem with my IE 7 Address Bar.  
When I press Insert-A to get the web page address, JAWS 9 simply announces 
Address Bar without giving the address.  When I press F6, the Address Bar 
appears to be empty.  When I press Alt-D, JAWS announces  Address edit combo 0 
items.  Rebooting has not resolved this problem.  How can I restore the 
contents of my IE 7 Address Bar?  Thanks.

Hi,
Sorry in didn't include the instructions for this one, here they are.

Jon

1. Open the program. When asked about updates tab to no.

2. When the program opens you will be on a left / right slider that will say
17 % this is the time each piece of the cut file will be. This actually
means 10 minutes. You will hear this if you tab once. Slide the control left
or right with your left and right arrow keys. If you want each piece of the
file to be 30 minutes then right arrow until the control says 44 %.

3.Now tab once. You will hear the length and also the name of book the
program will use to name the cut pieces. stated. You are now in an edit
field where you can type the name of the pieces of the book. This field name
defaults to Track. Change it to what ever you like.

4. Now press Alt A to select the book you want to cut up. This is a standard
dialog box. Select the file you wish to open.

5. Now to cut the book up and save it, press Alt S. This will bring up a
dialog box asking you where you want to save the cut book to. Tab to the
tree view and find the folder. Arrow down through the tree to the drive and
folder you want to put the book into. Once you find it tab to OK. 

6. After a while the program will display a message saying the book has been
cut. You are now done.

Note that the so called, empty, pdf documents can sometimes be scanned
For example, I use Open Book, whihch has that option built into it.

Hi Tom,
what other programs are available for scanning those empty pdfs. I don't have 
openbook.
I am considering purchase of eye-pal scanning system. The reason for this is 
because of its fast scanning (about 20 seconds per page)

btw Tom, I love your books and your ministry.
I am considering the m.div degree.

I rather imagine that anything Openbook can do Kurzeweil can as well.

Hi Tom,
what other programs are available for scanning those empty pdfs. I don't 
have openbook.
I am considering purchase of eye-pal scanning system. The reason for this 
is because of its fast scanning (about 20 seconds per page)


btw Tom, I love your books and your ministry.
I am considering the m.div degree.
thanks

Rick,
You could add rtf to your list.
At Optasia Ministry we put all our books in rtf format so that they can
be read on a variety of computers and with a variety of programs.  RTF
preserves more formatting than txt.

Note that the so called, empty, pdf documents can sometimes be scanned
For example, I use Open Book, whihch has that option built into it.
Blessings,
Tom

Good morning listers,
Along with my earlier question about epub I would also like to throw
this topic out for discussion...
I have been asked by an admissions director how I access various
texts. As I am considering taking some various masters level courses
I would like to present a complete picture.
Obviously I can receive books from rfbd as well as pdf(provided
that text exists in the file) and text files. html files. and word
docs.
I can of course scan the books with ocr packages.
I have already used these formats.

what other technologies have others used and found to be
successful?

thanks
rick

Hi all,

I'd be curious if anyone here could recommend an easy-to-use program
compatible with JAWS that can be used to split mp3 files, particularly
large single-file audiobooks into multiple smaller files. I've tried out
a couple programs but haven't been able to find any that work
intuitively with JAWS, so any suggestions would be very much
appreciated. If a program like this even exists, I'd ideally like one
that would let me manually enter the start and end split times without
having to use a graphic bar to find and select the start and end points.

Thanks very much in advance for any help!
