Re: [JAWS-Users] winamp and playing more then one song
Hi Victor, In your tutorial you stated: Unfortunately, Winamp likes to leave residual ghost images of files it's played in the last instance I don't know when you wrote the tutorial, but in earlier versions of WinAmp, the last files played were saved in an m3u. I don't have a later version installed, so I can't really comment on the existence of a m3u in the WinAmp folder in program files. Also, In Winamp 2.8, the Control + S keystroke doesn't seem to open a save as dialogue. Do you happen to know when this keystroke came into play? HTH, Rick Justice - Original Message - From: Scorpio Forever scorpio...@gmail.com To: jaws-users-list@jaws-users.com Sent: Sunday, March 04, 2012 11:40 PM Subject: Re: [JAWS-Users] winamp and playing more then one song Hi Brad, Here is a tutorial I wrote some time ago on how to create, manage and play Winamp playlists. This should answer most of your questions, however, this is quite an old tutorial, and some keystrokes have been discovered that make creating playlists much easier than the methods outlined in the below tutorial. For example, if you would like to play all the files within a specific folder, simply highlight the folder, then press your applications key, or shift+F10 if you are without such a key, and press P for play in Winamp. Depending on what else you have that starts with the letter P within that context menu, you'll either have to press enter on that option, or the command will activate right away. You'll have to decide which is the case for your particular situation or computer configuration. Also, you can do the same with specific songs within the same folder by going into a particular folder, pressing the end key to go to the bottom of the file list, and pressing control+up arrow selecting the tracks you wish to include in the playlist with control+spacebar. Once you've selected all the tracks you wish to play, press the applications menu or shift+F10 and press P for play in Winamp and the songs will automatically be placed in a Winamp playlist which you can then save for later access. Also, should you wish to add more songs to the above playlist, go into the second folder, or third or fourth, depending on how many times you wish to go into and out of folders, follow the same steps as above for selecting tracks to include, then once all the songs are selected, press the applications menu or shift+F10 and arrow down to add to Winamp, and the tracks you selected will be placed at the bottom of the playlist you created from the previous folder. You can do this for as many songs or tracks you'd like in however many folders you wish to include. Once you've added all the songs, just save the playlist like the instructions below. There are other shortcut steps I've discovered, but those will come at a later time when I've updated the tutorial. In the meantime, hope the below tutorial helps in some way. ***Begin Tutorial*** Believe it or not, it's easier to create a playlist with Winamp, than it sounds. First, go to your desktop, or where ever you keep the Winamp shortcut, and enter on it. Once the Winamp window opens, control+tab twice to get to the playlist editor. If you find that you've used the control+tab keystroke twice, and Jaws didn't say playlist editor, then that means you have the playlist editor closed. You can open it in one of two ways. You can press the keystroke of alt+E, or you can press alt+F, then arrow down to playlist editor and enter on it. I think you'll find the alt+E keystroke is easier. Smile. In any case, once Jaws reports that the playlist editor is opened, control+tab up to the playlist editor. Now, this is going to sound weird, but go with me on this. Once you land in the playlist editor, press control+A to highlight everything, then press delete. Don't worry if Jaws doesn't say anything, what you've essentially done is delete any tracks that were in there from the last time you used Winamp to listen to something. Unfortunately, Winamp likes to leave residual ghost images of files it's played in the last instance, and so, in order to create a clean playlist, you have to delete what was previously there. So, now that you've done that, press the letter L for lists, and this will open up an open dialog box. Those of you familiar with downloading from send space, or saving as and the like, will be familiar with this dialog box. When this dialog box opens, you'll land on the filename edit box. Do a shift+tab to go to the file list window just above the filename edit box. Now, depending on where you last took Winamp, you won't know where you'll be in the file list, so a good rule of thumb is to press the backspace key seven or eight times until Jaws stops talking. When he does, do a say line command with insert+up arrow, and Jaws should read out, Not Selected My Documents. This means you're on your desktop, and you can now go to the folder where the files are that you want to play. So, if the
Re: [JAWS-Users] Microsoft word question. Turning Off Tab Control
Hi Rich, Try looking in the following places to see what you have checked. While in Word, go to tools, options, and on the view page, tab like crazy until you get to, All, and uncheck it, tab to OK, press the spacebar to save / close. There will be a lot of other checkboxes in there that you might want to uncheck as well. When I tried using Shift+Control+8 it didn't turn off the announcement of 1 inch etc. What it does do is hide and unhide formatting marks only, as Flor has said. To hide formatting in Word do this in the format menu, load Word. Press Alt+O for Formatting. Arrow up to Reveal Formatting, and press Enter. Tab to the box which says, Show all formatting marks, and uncheck that box. Then press Escape, and you will be out of the menus and back in the document.

[JAWS-Users] IE9 keystroke to show all open tabs
Hi Well I got a big surprise this morning when I tried to download a file in internet explorer. It didn't act the same as usual. Upon opening the help menu and choosing About, I found that I am running IE9 on my Windows 7 64 bit system with JAWS 13.0.718. I don't recall doing anything to cause IE9 to be installed, but Windows update says it was installed on 2/28/12. Sort of looks like it was an automatic update. But once I realized this and with all the good information that comes from this list, I accomplished the download with no problem. But to my question. Often when I press alt-f4 to close internet explorer I'll get a message asking me if I want to close all tabs when I'm not aware that I have multiple tabs open. In IE8, there is a keystroke, control+shift+q, Which will list all open tabs if multiple tabs are open. But this keystroke doesn't do anything in IE9. So is there an IE or JAWS keystroke that provides information on open tabs? Thanks. Mike For answers to frequently asked questions about this list visit: http://www.jaws-users.com/help/

Re: [JAWS-Users] Accessibility of pc suite on windows 7 using jaws 12
I've Nokia phones with Symbian 3rd gen. I found the Nokia PC suite to be just very hard and tedious and inconsistent to use on my XP 32 bit as well as Win7 64bit PC's. So I gave up on the PC suite totally and use a much more simpler, consistent and reliable method to do all of the below: 1. install TTS software like Talks. 2. install human sounding voices 3. copy my own mp3 files to play or use as ring tones. The answer to all the above is to directly copy over any of the above files to the removable memory card (like the RS-MMC card on Nokia 6682 or the other types of such removable mem cards on other Nokia phones like the N95 etc) using the mem card reader slot on your laptop or PC. Many of these phone mem cards can be attached to adaptors so they fit in a regular SD card slot on your PC. If you don't have the adaptor to make your phone's mem card fit into a SD card slot on your PC then you can buy these many-in-one USB memory card readers from Amazon which will take your phone's mem card. Just ensure you buy the USB mem card reader that has your phone's mem card as one of the types it takes. Once copy over the TTS and voice files from your PC to the phone's mem card then use your phone's menu to move them to the internal non-removable flash drive of your phone and then install then. listen: Sunday, March 04, 2012 10:49 PM To: jaws-users-list@jaws-users.com Subject: [JAWS-Users] Accessibility of pc suite on windows 7 using jaws 12 Hello Listers, Still using a third generation symbian N82, I was able to connect to the internet using the phone via USB cable, utilising pc suite, latest accessible version according to the blindsea.com site, via windows xp, but no longer under windows 7 64 bit.

Howdy Freijac, You can assign WordPad to read .DOC files if you have already done this, try selecting all the text from the Word / WordPad file paste into a NotePad / text file, saving it, naming it appropriately.

Re: [JAWS-Users] winamp and playing more then one song
Hi Rick, I should have been more clear. When I say residual ghost images of files played in the last instance, I meant within the playlist editor, not specifically on your computer as an M3U file. If you play a track and close Winamp, then simply open up an instance of Winamp without entering on a particular track on your hard drive, in other words, by entering on the Winamp icon on your desktop or start menu, if you press the spacebar, you'll find that it will start playing the same track you played the last time you used Winamp to play a file. I just checked, and while they've fixed this particular bug and the track does not start playing if you press the spacebar, the track list still appears in the playlist editor, so, as long as you haven't moved that file from it's original location when you first played it within Winamp, entering on that track from within the playlist editor will start playing that song. That also means that if you add any tracks to Winamp, they will be added below that first title, and, if you're listing to a particular raunchy audio book just prior to creating a kids party playlist, there's going to be a bit of embarrassment when you first turn on the playlist. LOL. Suffice it to say, I didn't mean that it would actually save a file on your hard drive, though, I guess, in order for Winamp to do what I mentioned above, I guess it would have to store a file on your hard drive, though I've never actually investigated whether Winamp does this within the temporary memory, or permanently on your hard drive, but as I've found this to be the case, even after re-booting my computer, I would say that it's a good guess that the file gets saved on your hard drive. As for the control+S keystroke, it's been in effect since version 4.5 and onwards, though I can't say for sure that it's been around longer than that. I have listed below the compendium of Winamp keystrokes for Jaws just in case there are any discrepancies, with the below keystrokes being taken directly from the Jaws application help file. Unfortunately, Jaws help does not offer keystrokes for the Winamp Library or the Winamp Video windows, but if and when I find such beasts, I'll be sure to update and post the new information. In the meantime, here are the keystrokes currently available for each of the Winamp windows, those being the Winamp Main Window, The Winamp Equalizer Window, and the Winamp Playlist Editor. ***Begin Winamp Keystrokes*** The following general keystrokes are available in WinAmp: Playback commands: To play/Restart, press X, To pause/Resume the current track, press C, To rewind by 5 seconds, press LEFT ARROW, To fast forward by 5 seconds, press RIGHT ARROW, To stop the current track, press V, To stop the current track with Fade-out, press SHIFT+V, To stop after the current track, press CTRL+V, To play the next Track, press B, To play the previous Track, press Z, To move to the first track in the list, press CTRL+Z, To move to the last track in the list, press CTRL+B, To move Ten Songs Back, turn on NUMLOCK and press NUMPAD 1, To move Ten Songs Forward, turn on NUMLOCK and pres NUMPAD 3, To move to a time in the current track, press CTRL+J, To move to a file, press J, To increase the volume, press UP ARROW, To decrease the volume, press DOWN ARROW, To set the volume to 0%, press ALT+CTRL+M, To set the volume to 33%, press ALT+CTRL+COMMA, To set the volume to 66%, press ALT+CTRL+PERIOD, To set the volume to 100%, press ALT+CTRL+SLASH, To pan 100% left, press ALT+CTRL+H, To pan 50% left, press ALT+CTRL+J, To center sound, press ALT+CTRL+K, To pan 50% right, press ALT+CTRL+L, To pan 100% right, press ALT+CTRL+SEMI COLON, To toggle Repeat mode, press R, To toggle Shuffle mode, press S, Play commands: To open and play a File, press L, To open and play a location, press CTRL+L, To open and play a directory, press SHIFT+L, Bookmark commands: To add a bookmark, press ALT+I, To edit bookmarks (Go to Bookmark preferences), press ALT+CTRL+i, Visualization commands: To go to built-in visualization options, press ALT+O, To configure the current visualization plug-in, press ALT+K, To start/stop the current visualization plug-in, press CTRL+SHIFT+K, To open the Visualization page of the Preferences dialog, press CTRL+K, Other commands: View/Edit Track Info, Alt+3 To open WinAmp help, press F1, To open the skin selection dialogue, press ALT+S, To open to Main Menu, press ALT+F, To go to WinAmp preferences, press CTRL+P, To toggle Always-On-Top (all but Playlist Editor), press CTRL+A, To toggle the Windowshade mode, press CTRL+W, To toggle Double size Mode, press CTRL+D, To toggle Easy move, press CTRL+E, To start a new instance of WinAmp, press ALT+CTRL+N, Within the Winamp Main Window: Use the following hot keys in the WinAmp main window: To toggle the status of the WinAmpmain window, press Alt+W.

Re: [JAWS-Users] IE9 keystroke to show all open tabs
Hi Thanks for your suggestion. Control+w will close the individual tab the same as control+f4, but leave the other tabs open. But when I use alt=f4, 99% of the time I do want to close all tabs so answer yes. I was just looking for a way in IE9 to see what tabs were open without having to tab through each one of them so I could see if there was one I wanted to leave open.

Re: [JAWS-Users] Using JART to create and save documents in MS Wordformat
I would assume this is true, but I can't verify it from personal knowledge. I have only opened Word 2000 documents with Jarte and I have not shared any of those with anyone with other word processors. I feel at this point I can use Jarte and not shell out the bucks for Word 2010. The only reason I would buy Word 2010 is if I got a different job that required me to use it for a transcription platform. I have found Jarte to be a nice program and it has saved me some money by not purchasing Word 2010 when I got my new Windows 7 computer a couple of months ago. The website also mentions that it works well with screen readers, and it is nice to see something like that when investigating a new piece of software.

But once I realized this and with all the good information that comes from this list, I accomplished the download with no problem. But to my question.

I found the Nokia PC suite to be just very hard and tedious and inconsistent to use on my XP 32 bit as well as Win7 64bit PC's. So I gave up on the PC suite totally and use a much more simpler, consistent and reliable method to do all of the below: 1. install TTS software like Talks. 2. install human sounding voices 3. copy my own mp3 files to play or use as ring tones. The answer to all the above is to directly copy over any of the above files to the removable memory card (like the RS-MMC card on Nokia 6682 or the other types of such removable mem cards on other Nokia phones like the N95 etc) using the mem card reader slot on your laptop or PC. Many of these phone mem cards can be attached to adaptors so they fit in a regular SD card slot on your PC. If you don't have the adaptor to make your phone's mem card fit into a SD card slot on your PC then you can buy these many-in-one USB memory card readers from Amazon which will take your phone's mem card. Just ensure you buy the USB mem card reader that has your phone's mem card as one of the types it takes. Once copy over the TTS and voice files from your PC to the phone's mem card then use your phone's menu to move them to the internal non-removable flash drive of your phone and then install then. listen: Sunday, March 04, 2012 10:49 PM To: jaws-users-list@jaws-users.com Subject: [JAWS-Users] Accessibility of pc suite on windows 7 using jaws 12 Hello Listers, Still using a third generation symbian N82, I was able to connect to the internet using the phone via USB cable, utilising pc suite, latest accessible version according to the blindsea.com site, via windows xp, but no longer under windows 7 64 bit. Previously I could open pc suite from the system tray and find buttons for backup, connect to the internet, etc, but when trying this now, the system tray appears empty with jaws, even routing pc curser to jaws. This happens on both my notebook and pc, same versions of O S windows 7 and Jaws. I am authorised to upgrade to jaws 13, but will it help and could someone please assist with exact steps, preferably possible via jaws 12, latest update? I had dsl connection problems last week and wasted hours on trying all I could think of in vain.

Re: [JAWS-Users] .doc files
Hello, Wordpad reads .doc files in windows 7, perhaps not .docx files, haven't tested that, so why not just open it in that application and save to .txt , if that is what is wanted?

This will work for you, until you can get a conversion program. Hope this helps. Take care.

My new computer did not have microsoft word installed, so I am using wordpad. Can anyone recommend a free program that converts .doc files to .txt files that is jaws friendly,, or some other solution short of purchasing Word? Thanks in advance for help.

Re: [JAWS-Users] Using JART to create and save documents in MS Word format
It will provide a way to share and be somewhat free from Word. Keep in mind that Jart probably handles a small subset of the features and media types / content supported by word. My quick guess at such features would be footnotes, endnotes, multiple columns, pictures, and embedded spreadsheets, and possibly tables. As long as you do not need to have access to these features , they probably will not be modified as you modify the surrounding text. Obviously, you will not be able to add such content. *Don Marang* Vinux Package Development Coordinator - vinuxproject.org http://www.vinuxproject.org/ On 3/5/2012 5:10 PM, Dujari, Prateek wrote: Hello.

Re: [JAWS-Users] Using JART to create and save documents in MS Word format
Have you had a look at Jarte actually? Jarte can handle embedded images as well as tables, footnotes and such. It may not have all the power and features of Microsoft Word but probably can handle many if not most of the features the average word processor user needs and maybe even more. hth Doris At 02:21 AM 3/6/2012 -0500, you wrote: It will provide a way to share and be somewhat free from Word.
