Re: [JAWS-Users] converting pdf files to audio?

[Van Der Walt Riana]

Hello Ann,

In OB 7, it's an option under the file menu "save to audio."  You have
the option to save a page range or single page and you can save to
either wav, or mp3 format.

It may take a few minutes or hours, depending on the document size.


Kurzweil has more options, like changing bitrates and to write to a cd.

Regards,

Riana

Hi Ann,



I apologize to the list as this is the third message in a row.  I am not

Hello Ann,







I haven't used Open Book for some time but if I remember right the option 
to


save a file as an audio file was in the file menu.  Another idea to 
consider


might be using www.zamzar.com.  They will convert PDF to MP3 and the audio

is quite good.  I sent them a file recently and had it returned in just a

couple minutes.  I have put a link below to the file on my SkyDrive page 
so


you can listen to the audio.  The file I submitted was a PDF file on

bluetooth technology and the resulting MP3 was a lot better than I thought

it would be.  If you follow the llink below you will be taken to the page

for downloading the file.  Use insert with f7 and pick the download link 
on


the web page.  You can choose to save it if you want to or just open it to

hear it.  If you use ZamZar then all you need to do is browse to the file 
on


your drive and upload it, put in your Email address where they can send a

link to the file, choose MP3 from the combo box and submit the file.  When

you follow the link they send you there will be an alternative to download

the file, which you can do to get the MP3 file on your computer.  Here is

the link to the audio file on my SkyDrive page that I had them convert if

you want to hear some of it to check out the quality:

[JAWS-Users] delete headers in Word 2007

[Chanelle Hill]

Dear Jaws List,
I cannot get Microsoft Word to remove a header from the second page of my 
document. I divide the first page from the second with a section break. Then I 
go to the insert tab on the ribbon (alt n) press h for header, and scroll to 
remove header. The header on page 3 as well as headers in the rest of the 
document are removed. It doesn't matter where I place the cursor. Am I missing 
a Jaws command or a step? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Some scanning software programs, such as OpenBook and Kurzweil 1000 have the

[JAWS-Users] upgrading to windows 7

[Leonard Morris]

I have my Windows 7 disk here but I have not installed it on my XP pro machine 
yet. It's been said that you just can't migrate windows 7 from XP pro without 
backing up all your files and apps and reinstalling them since windows seven 
erases everything except the "my documents folder. My laptop seems to be 
running pretty stable lately and as they say if it aint broke don't fix it. I 
also have heard if you have Vista on your machine then you can just 
install/migrate  windows seven without having to do anything special. So, what 
if I install vista first and then windows seven would that be a working 
solution? Lastly, if any of you who are now using Windows seven and you 
installed it over Xp what did you do? Did you back up apps and files, and/or

Re: [JAWS-Users] converting pdf files to audio?

Actually, Openbook does record Elequence onto MP3 formatted files, if you 
set it to record the text into either WAV or MP3, its your choice.


I hope this helps, I had the program as a demo, that's how I know.

There may be some software out there but one off the cuff way to do this 
and I don't know if it would work but...

Open .pdf file using scanning software.
I think scanning software like Openbook reads PDF files better.
File is read using synthesized voice, eloquence, sappy...
You can then record the synthesized reading using a digital recorder.
You now have a audio file on your recorder that you can copy to your PC.
I know that you can go from speech to text using Dragon or similar 
software but don't know if there are other ways.

Re: [JAWS-Users] transporting configured web sites and settings

[Ann M. Medlar]

Hi again,
Yes I did this and copied configurations to my CF card.
One other question.  I wanted to copy my stock analysis folder under 
favorites but had trouble.
I pressed start menu entered on favorites and scrolled down to my stock 
analysis folder.  Selected folder, copied and it would not copy nor  paste.
I finally opened each web site and pressed F6 key and copied each URl to 
clipboard and tried to copy to folder on CF card.  this did not work.
So I created a stoc analysis.txt in notepad and copied the 3 urls into text 
file into my folder on CF card.

Any reasons why I could not easily copy the folder?

Go to Start, Programs, Jaws 11, Explore Jaws, My settings.
In this folder there is a folder named PlaceMarkers.
Open it, Sellect all with control + a, and copy.
Make a folder on your flash memory and paste the content there.
After you can copy the content in the same folder named PlaceMarkers in

Hi all,
I customized many sites on the web.
First I have 3 web sites in a folder under my favorites.
I launch IE, then alt+a for favorites and type 's' for stock sites and 
enter

Within this folder I have 3 sites.
I enter on first site and I have bookmarks shift+control+k to move to 
specific links all over site.I have several bookmarks on all 3 sites.
I want to use a different computer so rather than doing customizations 
all over how do I transport these settings to another PC?  What is file

I am using Windows XP media IE8 and JAWS Version 11.0.756U
My other PC I am using Windows xP downgraded from vista, IE 8,   I have 
Jaws 11 but unsure what version.

Thanks,

No. You can run Winamp but the scripts do not work properly at this time.
For example JAWS won't announce the next or previous track if you press b

z, for example. Just one of the reasons why I got fed up of 64 bit 
operating

systems. I want my old functionality back, and now I have it.

64 bit is great but it's not for me at this time. I've decided to go 
back

to 32 bit as JAWS reads things a lot better on that platform, plus I can
use some programs that work better with JAWS on a 32 bit operating
system,
like Winamp. I will definitely monitor the progress on how screen 
readers
work on a 64 bit operating system, but for now I'm happy with good old 
32

bit. So I think this is the reason why things aren't reading for you.
Sorry I can't offer any more help on this.

Hello:
I have a new 64 bit Windows 7 system running the latest version of JFW.
I
keep encountering several places where I am unable to read what I type
or
even read d what is already in a field.  Usually, when I check theses
occurrences, it says that there is "no font".  I have not encountered
this
with my Windows XP or Vista systems with JWS.

By changing themes yesterday, I was able to move between virtually no
screen
reading output, all the way to being able to read virtually everything.
Occasionally, some dialogue boxes and message boxes will not echo
anything
and in some instances they speak correctly.  I have been unable to
discern a
definite pattern as to what the problem might actually be.  I have been
searching Freedom Scientifics' knowledge base, but have not been able 
to

find my exact problem described.

Does anyone have any suggestions as to what other settings I might
manipulate that might help in alleviating this problem?
Thanks...
