Re: [Blind-Computing] sound recorder
HI Kevin, I don't know where I got the information below but, perhaps this will help. SOUND RECORDER This application will allow you to record for about 2 minutes. However, a much larger sound file can be loaded, played, and edited. Up to about 76mb on a machine with 128mb of installed ram. The size limitation for Sound Recorder seems to be affected by the amount of memorey. On a machine with 496mb of ram, I was able to load a 207mb file. This is a very limited sound editor. To make a recording of "JAWS" reading text, the, "what you hear", setting must be selected, when using a SoundBlaster soundcard. Where to find:"what you hear" Go to volume control, then from the menu bar select properties. Note: when trying to make a sound file, using "JAWS" to read a text file in "Notepad", after returning to "Notepad" from "Sound Recorder", the screen must be refreshed, in order for "JAWS" to read the text properly. Extending the Record time. But first, we have to set sound recorder up to make the .WAV files we need for audio CDs. So Click the properties button. So here we are in properties. I've put arrows to show you that your sound recorder comes set up at PCM 22050kHz, 8bit, mono. This is because it's really set up for a microphone. What we're going to do is click the 'Convert Now' button to the right of the 'all formats' drop down menu. Oh and it's important to do this now BEFORE you record, because you want to capture the sound in the same quality that you'll use for your CDs. So when we click Convert now, we get this popup box which lets us adjust the sound. Interesting isn't it that this little sound recorder can do so much. Look at all the options you have. Anyway, at the bottom, we're going to select 44,100kHz, 16 Bit Stereo. That's the right setting for audio CDs. It's already set for PCM which is Pulse Code Modulation, which is what we want to make .WAV files. Finally, we want to click the Save As button because we want to save this setting. Sound Recorder won't remember what you've set, so you'll have to come here to reset it whenever you turn on your computer. But don't worry, you won't even have to do that when we're finished. So this is the dialog box for giving our settings a name. I chose LPcopy, but you can call it anything you want. OK, now comes the super secret of how to use Sound Recorder to copy your LPs. If you've ever used Sound Recorder you know that it only records for up to one minute. Well, that sure won't copy a 2-1/2 minute to 3 minute track. Ah, but I've got a workaround for you that YOU WILL ONLY HAVE TO DO ONCE. OK, here's the big secret. We're going to make a copy LP template. And here's how to do it. Start Sound Recorder with nothing turned on. No sound. It will start to record and the little green line will stay flat. Around 40 or 50 seconds, click the stop button (the square one). This is where it gets good. Then click the Record button again and guess what. You've just increased the time from 50-60 seconds up to about 100 seconds. When it gets near the end again, (about 100 seconds but it really doesn't matter) Click Stop again and then click Record. Let's look below. You see here I've stopped the recording at 92.90 seconds (no particular reason) and I'm ready to click record again to add another 50 or 60 seconds onto my LP recording template. Look Below again. So here we are at 240.20 seconds (4 minutes). This is more than enough to copy most songs (tracks) and this will be your first template. Oh, why did I stop the recorder at 50 or so seconds instead of just letting it stop itself at 60 seconds? Well there is a reason. Some computers reset themselves at the 60 second mark. Most don't. So, try it yourself. If you computer lets you just keep hitting record after each 60 seconds, do it that way. It's less work. And don't forget, you only have to do this once. Because we're making a template. Later, you can use this same method to make a longer template to record multiple tracks. There doesn't seem to be a limitation as to how long you set your track template except that depending on your computer speed, you might not be able to get up to 20 or 30 minutes. I could on my 1Ghz computers with no problem, but on a 300Mhz computer I started bogging down after 12-15 minutes. So for single tracks, this works for everyone. For longer recordings, it's limited only by your computer. Oh, One More Extra Tip. Don't forget that you can use these types of templates you create to use Windows Sound Recorder for other purposes. Record a presentation. Send a message. Narrate a slide show. Record Narration for a movie. Lots More ideas. It's all easy once you know how to create these easy templates. So, here we are saving our template. Remember, you can call it anything you want. Just pick something that makes sense to you and that you save somewhere you can easily find it. Now comes the fun part. You're ready to record. Here's what you do

[Blind-Computing] changing the color of text in jarte
Hi, everyone, How do you change the color of text in jarte? I looked at a tutorial when googling and it’s all mouse-oriented. There has to be a way to do it using the keyboard. Any help will be very much appreciated. Thanks for your help in advance. Rosemarie For answers to frequently asked questions about this list visit: http://www.jaws-users.com/help/
[Blind-Computing] JAWS cursor question
To any and All: I have a question regarding the JAWS cursor functions. On several of the instructions that have been given over time, there has been mentioning of routing the JAWS cursor to PC cursor. My question is this: What is the difference, function-wise, between pressing the JAWS Key plus the Minus key on the numpad and simply pressing the minus key? Hope my phrasing makes sense to someone. Many thanks. Jerry For answers to frequently asked questions about this list visit: http://www.jaws-users.com/help/
Re: [Blind-Computing] JAWS cursor question
Hello, When you push the minus key, you activate the JAWS cursor and when you read and move around with your arrows you're doing so with the use of your JAWS cursor which allows you to move unhindered between different parts of applications and even between applications. When you route one cursor to the other, (for example PC to JAWS) you have moved the PC cursor to where the JAWS cursor is. Why is this useful? Let's say you're moving around a form with your JAWS cursor because you wish to know its layout. Your PC cursor is somewhere at the top of the page. If you route the PC to the JAWS, you are now able to fill out the field that your JAWS cursor is sitting on. You can not edit text with your JAWS cursor which necessitates you moving the PC cursor to the JAWS cursor. And when you route the JAWS cursor to the PC cursor, you are moving your JAWS cursor to wherever it ended up to the PC cursor. This is useful because if you're navigating around, your JAWS cursor gets stuck someplace like the start button and you wish to bring it back, or if you want to begin using the JAWS cursor where the PC cursor is, then you route the JAWS to the PC. I hope this was more clear. Thanks. On 10.11.2011, jerry martin wrote: > To any and All: > > I have a question regarding the JAWS cursor functions.

Re: [Blind-Computing] JAWS cursor question
That's actually a good question. I'll try to respond. When you press either the keypad plus key (pc cursor) or the keypad minus key (jaws cursor key) the system simply activates either the jaws or pc cursor. In other words, nothing moves. When you press the jaws key plus the minus it activates the jaws cursor and moves it to the pc cursor. So, the jaws cursor moves to the pc cursor. Hope this helps.

Re: [Blind-Computing] JAWS cursor question
The minus key on the number row of the keyboard is a different key to the numpad minus key, which would generally, in jaws using desktop keyboard layout, be the jaws cursor key, but, if you do have numlock turned on, then I think the numpad minus key then also counts as/works as the number row minus key, and, then the normal jaws key would then count as 0 instead of being the jaws key, but anyway. This is just why pushing the jaws key + number row minus key will act differently from hitting the jaws key + the numpad minus key.

Re: [Blind-Computing] JAWS cursor question
Hi Jerry, Jaws actually has the use of 4 different cursors. Below each cursor's function is explained. About JAWS Cursors Navigating through Windows with JAWS is accomplished with cursors. These cursors determine the focus of JAWS speech and are often directly linked with Windows cursors. The PC Cursor - Follows Keystrokes This cursor is linked to the keyboard functions of Windows and applications. This is the cursor that is used when typing information, moving through options in dialog boxes, and selecting options or icons. As you type information, the PC Cursor follows along with each key you press. If you are making a selection in a menu or dialog box, the PC Cursor highlights the currently selected object. The PC Cursor is activated by default when JAWS starts. If you are using a different cursor, pressing NUM PAD PLUS returns you to the PC Cursor. The JAWS Cursor - Follows Mouse Pointer The JAWS Cursor is linked to mouse pointer functions in Windows and other applications. It is used to read information the PC Cursor cannot read, such as toolbar information. The mouse follows along with the JAWS Cursor when it is moved, and you therefore have access to information in an application window that is beyond the scope of the PC Cursor. To activate the JAWS Cursor, press NUM PAD MINUS. The Virtual PC Cursor - HTML Environment The virtual PC Cursor mimics the functions of the PC Cursor, but is activated by default when entering an HTML document. The virtual PC Cursor speaks the number of frames in a document, and the number of links in the frame. You can switch between frames, and JAWS reads graphics labeled by alt tags in the HTML code. Invisible Cursor The JAWS cursor is basically the mouse cursor that is visible on screen. The invisible cursor can be moved around just like the JAWS cursor to view information. It works like the mouse cursor but can not be seen on screen or effect objects. Therefore you can not use the NumPad / (left mouse click) or NumPad * (right mouse click) on an object. It is useful to read information without disturbing the mouse cursor. It is also useful to determine colors or whatever might change when the mouse is over an object. It will not cause ToolTips to pop up. Hope this helped. Take care.

[Blind-Computing] windows 7 product key
Hi, I have a long email to write and I hope someone can help. If it helps, get your beer, smoke or tea and activate the say all command and sit back and chill while I type this lol. First off, I have an hp machine running windows seven pro 64 bit, which was a Christmas gift fror me last year. A few weekes ago, I was going to do some work on my laptop from scratch, which involved me setting it back to factory defaults. While it was going through the motions of setting it back to factory defaults, a message came up and said it was unable to boot. I turned it off completely and when I turned it back on, it said boot manager device missing/opporating system missing. I was like huh? Thinking to myself, don't tell me that is what I think it means. I called hp, explained to them what I wrote above, they told me that I needed a windows 7 pro recovery cd, so I paid for it, they sent the cd, I ran it, supposedly it would've worked right? Well it didn't. My jaws, window eyes, NVDA, dam near every sound coming out of my comp was very choppy and could barely be understood. I tried navigating the best I could, opening up programs here and there to see what else was up with the comp after the install and by golly everything was taking 44 for evers to load. I ran the recovery cd again and after that everything was back to normal, screen readers working fine, nothing was taking 44 for evers to load but., in the CTRL panel, it told me I had three days to enter in a product key, which after running the recovery cd, wouldn't the key had been installed? I waited three days, to see what would happen, so after three days, it said I have 30 days to activate windows. Huh? So, I called hp, gave them the shpeel, they did some trouble shooting stuff with me and in the end, they said, since your laptop is out of worentee status, we cannot service your laptop without a fee of anywhere to 200-300 dollars. I told them, all I need is a key to activate windows, but sir, we do not have any of that information on file, but you can find that information on the bottom of your laptop, which I told them, no, the characters you are asking me to read off to you are warn out and not one person can make out what it is. Hp also instructed to me to call Microsoft and ask for a key seeing as windows seven is their product and they should be able to give you the key. Of course, I already knew what the answer was going to be before calling Microsoft, but what the hell, I called anyways. Low and behold, they told me what I thought. Sir, hp is responcible for providing you with a replacement key seeing as windows 7 pro came preinstalled on the laptop when it was purchased. I called hp back, told them the situation and did some more standard trouble shooting stuff and in the end, she stated, we cannot give you a key and you will need to purchase windows 7 pro again, which we have a promotion for right now! So, seeing as I have no money to purchase win pro or to send it to hp for repair, what is a good way to get my windows 7 pro key? I ran bilark adviser and the majic jelly bean finder and they produced the same key, I entered it in and it gave me an error, pretty much invalid key. When I went into the bios to verify the s/n for my comp, it said, serial number: UID: and a bunch of zeros, so what is up with that? What does all the zeros mean and why after running the recovery cd, twice, the key did not get installed? Hp said, there could be something wrong with my mother board. If someone can help me figure out how to obtain my windows 7 pro key that would be great, besides paying for one because lol, I am broke. Thanks for listening.
