Re: [Blind-Computing] mp3 and audio formats
Hi, Mp3 is burned as a data CD which was explained in the other email can hold a lot of music. For example, I have a data CD that I created with over 100 MP3 songs on a 80 minutes CD. Mp3 CD can only be played on MP3 player and most CD and car stereo cannot play a MP3 CD. On the other hand, when you burn an audio CD, it usually can hold about 22 to 25 CDA songs on an 80 minutes CD which can be played on any CD player. I do have a player that can play both audio and MP3 CDs which is pretty nice. I hope that I help enlighten you further with this. Take care. Lennie. Can someone help me and explain the difference between mp3 format and audio like if you are going to burn a cd in mp3 or audio format.

Yes, there is an add-on that makes still incompatible extensions work with newer FF versions and it's called Add-on Compatibility Reporter; after installing and restarting Firefox it sort of enables those add-ons so now I can use WebVisum and other still incompatible add-ons with FF 5 just fine.

You may use the following ad-on: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/add-on-compatibility-reporter / I've not tried it yet, but my friends keep telling me it works well.

Webvisum in its current version will not work with Firefox 5, and therefore will not work with Firefox 6, which is scheduled for release on August 16, either. My advice is to stick with your current version of Firefox that still works with Webvisum. Once you upgrade to a later version of Firefox and discover that it doesn't work with Webvisum, it may be difficult or impossible to roll back to an earlier version and get Webvisum working again. Keep in mind that Webvism is now the only reliable means of solving captchas without sighted help, as Solona is no longer functioning on a consistent basis. So if the ability to solve captchas is important to you, do not upgrade to Firefox 5 or later. On the other hand, if you don't care about solving captchas, then go ahead and upgrade.

[Blind-Computing] GoldWave Total Time and file Splitting Issue
Hi Folks, I am attempting to split a large file into smaller chunks and I'm having trouble with it for the first time ever. First, the relevant facts... I'm currently using the latest build of GoldWave and Jaws 12, and the latest GoldWave scripts from the Jaws-Users scripts page. I'm also using Windows XP home edition on a Toshiba laptop. Now the particulars of the case. The file I'm trying to split is just under 6 and a half hours long, this according to Winamp, my BookSense XT and the status line under Windows Explorer. Once loaded into GoldWave, however, GoldWave reports that the file is only 23 minutes and 17 seconds long after doing a control+A to highlight the entire file. I've even attempted to move, both the start and end markers to the end of the file, and playing on from there, but no go. I can't for the life of me understand why I can't get past the 23 minutes and 17 second mark. A few possibly irrelevant facts are that this is an Audible converted file, and though GoldWave states that there's only 23 minutes in the file, when I play the file on my BookSense XT, or in Winamp, the entire file is there at just under six hours and a half. Another possibly irrelevant fact is that when reading the status bar in Windows Explorer, the status line is reading the entire file is there at the 6 and a half hours, but it's stating that it's a quicktime format file, even though the extension is MP3. If anyone has any ideas as to why this is happening, I would appreciate your input. Thanks. Scorpio For answers to frequently asked questions about this list visit: http://www.jaws-users.com/help/
Re: [Blind-Computing] flash memory v thumb sticks
With all due respect to Larry, that is not necessarily so. Here in the US, we call those portable storage devices, thumb drives because they look superficially like a thumb. On the other hand, there are flash cards, produced very cheaply, which are not rewritable. The material is burned onto them but cannot be removed or changed. They are rare but some major distributors like on line newspapers, use them because they can produce thousands of them with relatively low cost. The average cost of a thumb drive or thumb stick, runs anywhere from $5 USD to about $20 USD, depending on the memory capacity. Flash cards, on the other hand, can cost commercially as little as $1 USD or less. With a massive copy device, as many as 100 flash cards can be burned simultaneously. Once they are used, they can be thrown away with little impact to the environment or, more importantly, to the projected cost absorbed by the on line media producer. I believe that these flash cards will become more and more prevalent as time passes.

Re: [Blind-Computing] Can I use the JAWS dictionary to not read Unicode characters?
Hi. That's how I did it. If I recall, I held down the alt key when I typed out 8203 and it created that character. I then copied it to the JAWS dictionary. But it wants me to put something in the edit field to replace it, and I used the space bar. Unfortunately, then when JAWS reads a line with that character in it, since this character appears in the middle of words, it breaks up the word. For example: Hi, how is ever yone doing? Unfortunate y my comp uter has issues. If I could just get JAWS to ignore that Unicode character all together and just read as if it wasn't there. But at least it's better than it was. Some sentences I still can't understand, but others I can figure out what it is supposed to say.

Pressed Insert / Jaws key + D, for the the application dictionary manager, then pressed control, shift, + D, for the default dictionary manager. 3.

Tabbed to the Replacement Word edit field, pressed the spacebar 1 time, tabbed to the okay button pressed enter. 5. Invoke the control + S keystroke to save, Alt + F4 to close. This is how I created the ? . I turned the numlock off, held the alt key down, pressed 8, 2, 0, 3, let up on the alt key, there was the ? . I then copied it went from there. If you are creating 8203 symbol differently please let me know I'll try to duplicate what you're doing. The ? is what I get when invoking the Alt + 8203 keystroke and I'm curious if you're getting a different symbol. Take care.

It requires I put something in the edit field for it to be spoken as.

But if I put the cursor on this character, it says absolutely nothing. Not even blank. It's completely silent. But if I hit the current character key three times, it tells me that it's ASCKI character 8 2 zero 3. I tried to copy this character, but it just says nothing selected. So, as far as I can tell, I can't have the JAWS dictionary ignore these strange Unicode characters, if that's what they are. I'm really confused on what this even is. I can barely read statuses on the mobile site of Facebook anymore since so many of these characters are appearing in the posts.

[Blind-Computing] message rule for daily oldie list not working correctly

Re: [Blind-Computing] Can I use the JAWS dictionary to notread Unicode characters?
Hi Chris, Here's a thought. How about instead of putting something into the replacement word field, assign a sound to the 8203 character. Assign a sound that you can only hear if the volume is turned way up. I haven't tried this but, it wouldn't hurt to give it a whirl. Hope this helps. Take care.
