Re: [JAWS-Users] RE2: Very diff experience between Audible and BookShare

2017-01-20 Thread Miriam Vieni 
Bookshare has a daisy audio mode and a text to speech mode and I know that
with the VR Stream people can toggle to a spelling mode for words. But
Bookshare is terrible with accents. However, the daisy audio versions are
quite good and I sometimes choose them instead of a BARD or commercial book
for a novel. It depends on how much dramatization you like in your reading.

Audible will not, since it's strictly a narration service. NLS will at least
spell the names of authors. As for Bookshare, which is a text-only service,
I have a feeling the use of accents will vary.

I'd like to add that the experience is significantly different
between the books from Audible and Bookshare. Bookshare books which for most
part need your native device TTS robot to read can be far less relaxing and
pleasurable to listen to than Audible where most if not all books are
recorded by real live human voice actors. I tried to read novels and books
from Bookshare using my devices TTS and just did not enjoy the experience at
all. The same books for example, from Audible, or any other from Audible on
the other  hand is far more relaxing and pleasurable as you are listening to
a live real human being who has all these speech inflections that a robot
TTS however advanced our current TS voices may be, just do not match.
Pl do consider this factor  in your book purchase decision.

Re: [JAWS-Users] Curious Word Inconvenience

How about pressing the Escape Key after ctrl+f? Then I'm on the first 
instance of what I want to find from where I started the search.

Jerry,

This is a little confusing because you say you first presenter and the word 
is found, but then you say you press enter and you're taken to the beginning 
of the document. I'm guessing your experience is like mine in Word 2010, 
which is that the first time you press enter, you're taken to the head of 
the document. After that, repeated presses of the spacebar (or perhaps also 
the enter key) take you from instance to instance of the search string.


I think you'll find that for most purposes in Word, using the JAWS find key 
combination JAWS key+control+f works more reliably. Assuming you've typed 
the search string correctly, it won't take you to the beginning of the 
document. It will take you to the place you want.


There are advantages and disadvantages to each method, but when I want to 
find a single instance of a search string, the JAWS find command is the more 
reliable.

Morning All.

I have a curious MS Word inconvenience going on. When I am in a Word 
document, and I go to find a word in my document using the Control F 
functions, I get a strange action. I will type in the word in question, 
press enter, and my word search will find my word. But when I press enter, I 
find myself at the beginning of my starting point of the search. So, after 
performing the operation again, it takes me to what I need to find. Any 
ideas as to why this annoyance is happening? I am using JAWS 17, Windows 10, 
and Office 13. Thanks.

In that case, Bookshare is the option for you, as it's services are text 
based and you can review the text using Jaws with your word processor.

Re: [JAWS-Users] RE2: Very diff experience between Audible and Book Share

2017-01-20 Thread Scorpio 

Justin,

Audible books allow you to listen to the book using various devices, apps, 
both Android and iOS, and programs, both for the MAC and Windows.


In terms of Windows applications and Jaws, there's Windows Media Player, 
iTunes, the Audible Player, or you can put the books on a CD, and listen to 
them using a media player of your choice, like Winamp, or any other player.


There is a conversion tool, but I won't mention it here as I'm not sure what 
the stance is on converting Audible books, but there's that option also.


With Bookshare, you can get the books in text form, and use your text reader 
or word processing application to read the book, or you can have Bookshare 
convert the book into a DAISY audiobook, read by synthetic speech, and you 
can listen to it on any media player, or device that does or does not 
support DAISY audiobooks, as you can just delete the extraneous stuff and 
simply use the DAISY recording as an audiobook.


All of these options allow for someone to review a passage several times if 
need be.  Hope this helps.

2017-01-20 Thread Christine Murphy 
I find the Audible web site quite accessible using JAWS.  

Another very nice thing about Audible is that they have many courses
produced by The Teaching Company in the Great Courses series.  They cover a
wide range of topics.  I've acquired several by using an Audible credit or
by purchasing one on sale.  This is a great way to revisit something you may
have studied previously or to learn about a new topic that is of interest.
This is an excellent deal.

Audible has professional actors reading their books.  Most Audible books are
commercial audiobooks but somee are actually commissioned by audible.  JAWS,
thankfully, does not read Audible books nor is their a need for it to read
them.  NBookshare is another horse entirely.  The plus about bookshare is
that it comes in text, with speech and it's cheap.  I've found its coverage
not generally to my liking.  Audible is only speech, and should be
considered more of a bookstore than the library that bookshare is.
Bookshare's original purpose, I think, was to provide educational materials
while Audible's is to make money by providing a wide variety of reading
materials.

I get by with Audible and NLS just fine;  they supply me with more books to
my liking than I can possibly read. By the way, Audible's Platinum
subscription provides 24 books a year for $229, less than 10 bucks per book.

I've been using audible regularly for about 5 months now and find it's
great. There's some obscure titles it doesn't have, but that's not
surprising.

When displaying search results, They don't use headings, so I do a control f

I've been using audible regularly for about 5 months now and find it's
great. There's some obscure titles it doesn't have, but that's not
surprising.

When displaying search results, They don't use headings, so I do a
control f for the word wish. Other than that, it's pretty straight
forward.
