Re: [JAWS-Users] reccording to computer from tapes
Hi Theresa, Many questions again. Okay...here goes. 1. Cassette tapes are in an analog format. To be saved on the computer, they must be converted to a digital format. Since your laptop has no audio inputs, you'll have to digitize the audio before transferring it to the computer via the USB port. Therefore: a.) You can buy an interface which has the ADC (analog to digital converter) built in. Or, b.) you can as you said, use a digital recorder, then simply transfer the files. 2. Either way, you'll end up with a recording where 2 of the 4 tracks will be present in the right and left stereo channels. If this happens, there's no way to separate them. However, if you transfer one side of the cassette at a time, you can then select either the right or left channels and make each into a separate audio track (i.e. saved as a separate file). Again, using either Audacity or Goldwave (Goldwave is better for this task), you can easily separate out the tracks. Again, I'm presuming that you're attempting to copy Library of Congress audio book format cassettes. For normal stereo (i.e. music) cassettes, the job is a bit easier. Best Buy and DAK Electronics both sell little plug-in audio interfaces for laptops. They typically feature a male USB connector to put into the computer on one end, and a 1/8" (3.5 millimeter) female audio port of the other side. Again, Goldwave is the best solution for software, both in terms of accessibility and functionality. However, you might want to search the Internet to find other applications that might be cheaper and/or easier. But Goldwave is what I use. Hope this helps, Paul --- - Original Message - From: "Teresa Arroyo" To: Sent: Sunday, December 28, 2014 1:20 PM Subject: Re: [JAWS-Users] reccording to computer from tapes Hi Paul, Thanks for your repply. Would it be possible to record a four-track tape with Audacity, wihich is free? If the old cable that conected old tape recorders doesn't work, I wonder if I could do the recording without conecting the recorder to the computer. Like in the old days when those cables were not around. I was also thinking about using a digital recorder and then transfering the content to the computer form there, but is it posible to do the four-track? I am new to all of this, so that is why I need detailed information. Thanks again.

First off, see if you can find a USB to audio adaptor. I've seen a couple that use the 3.5 m.m. (1/8 inch) connector, but I haven't seen one that uses the same RCA phono connectors that were used on old tape decks. You might need an adaptor cable as well. Yes, using Goldwave you could record each side of the tape to digital, then cut/copy the left track or right track to a new sound file. If you don't have "crosstalk" between the channels, this will work fine. Same thing goes for Library of Congress format tapes, which are at half normal cassette speed; just record them into Goldwave, select the Pitch option from the Effects menu, then select (down one octave) to normalize the speed. A larger problem I have had with interfaces is that they fight over the ACEO drivers with JAWS, and JAWS usually loses. So, you might find yourself without speech.

I have an Intel HD Graphics card, and the latest drivers are installed. I have tried disabling the Intel HD Graphics driver and doing a repair on JAWS, and the problem still exists. I also have NVIDIA graphics software on my computer, but uninstalling that did no good. Does anyone have any suggestions as to what I might do to fix this problem, or am I esencially out of luck?

Re: [JAWS-Users] an audio tutorial
Robin, I can't speak for David, but here's what I am using. F or portable recording, I use an Olympus DM-4, which records and saves files in .WAV, .mp3 and .wma formats, at a variety of bit rates. (The higher the bit rate, generally speaking, the higher the fidelity of the recording but the more storage space required. For microphones I either use the built-in mics (very good) on the Olympus, or a pair of electret condenser microphones from Core Sound, or a lavalier microphone from RadioShack and/or Sony. It depends on the kind of recording you want to do; for voice, podcasts and audio blogs for instance, the built-in microphones might be enough. For concerts etc. I use the binaural condenser microphone pair. I also have a Tascam DR7. Bigger, bulkier but with more dedicated buttons. Uses common AA batteries (the Olympus uses a proprietary battery pack). The Tascam doesn't record to . all formats, however. I hope this helps.

Re: [JAWS-Users] re turning jaws up and down separately?
Short answer. No. If you're using Eloquence through your main sound card, your Windows volume control controls both the audio running through your app and through JAWS. Sorry. Eventually, and when I grow up I'm going to figure out how to use multiple sound cards, one for JFW and one for my audio production apps.

Thanks for the reply, but as I posted earlier, I was mistaken in my original post. I believe I am running IE 7.

Re: [JAWS-Users] Q: Weird problem with JAWS 7 and IE
My bad I am running SP2, not SP3 Win XP. And I did roll back IE to v.7, I think. Hard to find this out, as I do not have JAWS PC cursor access (nor any other access) to the "About" menu item. This is driving me nuts, as it worked just fine until a few weeks ago. The only change I can think of is my installation of Microsoft Security Essentials...but restoring to a point before that install doesn't work either. I'm still convinced that this is a JAWS focus problem, not an IE problem, and I am certain that there is a work-around, if only I could find one. As I said, JAWS cursor will reveal/read the web pages, and commanding JAWS to read the entire window works as well. Aaaargh! But thanks again everyone for trying. I sincerely appreciate it.

[JAWS-Users] JFW: RE: Huge problem with multiple JAWS versions on same PC
I'm sure this will sound like a stupid question, but please bear with me. My wife's computer for some reason contains JFW v. 4.0, v.5, v. 6...and now v.7.00.33. Now, when she turns on her computer, JFW won't run at all! And, despite the fact that we activated the new version (by manually typing in the activation key), nothing works. What do I need to do to make it work right? I too am blind, and we can't get sighted help for this...so...?

Re: [JAWS-Users] OCR Software
Larry, it seems fairly simple to me why this all is relevant. The most often-suggested O.C.R. packages are incidentally the most expensive. For many of us, the math doesn't work out at all. I have a decent income through being self-employed, but after utilities, food, mortgage, medical and other continuing expenses, there isn't enough money to a.) maintain JFW, b.) purchase expensive O.C.R. software and c.) get a PC that is powerful enough to handle the newest, fully-bloated versions of JAEWS, Windows etc. etc. Perhaps my somewhat whining diatribe should have been worded thus: I do not have money for expensive O.C.R. software. Is there freeware or inexpensive shareware that will again let me rad my books and correspondence?

Re: [JAWS-Users] OCR Software
Excuse me. 86% of blind adults unemployed in the U.S. (best as I can figure..tough statistic to find). Don't know about the rest of you, but with JAWS SMA fees, paying for the latest JAWS because I don't have an SMA yet... then add $600.00 for either Open Book or Kurzweil Excuse me... but what banks are y'all robbing to get this kind of cash? Sorry to sound disgruntled...and I'm sure this will be flagged as off-topic, but come on! Even somebody earning $75K/year with a small family could not reasonably be expected to shell out that kind of jing.

Re: [JAWS-Users] [JFW] Spanish-English-Spanish dictionary?
BTW, Systran Professional is fairly JAWS accessible, but in order for it to be significantly better than online translators like Babelfish, one needs to "train" the software, and build vocabulary lists etc. There are times when I just need to look up a word or verb tense.

[JAWS-Users] [JFW] Spanish-English-Spanish dictionary?
Hello fellow JAWS users:: Forgive both my newbie ignorance and my apparent inability to find this elsewhere. I recently bought the Oxford Spanish Dictionary... only to discover that I couldn't navigate it with JFW 7 on my XP Pro/1 GB/1.77 GHz laptop. Tried both JAWS cursor and virtual PC cursor. I am wondering a.) what I might do to access the OXford Spanish Dictionary with JAWS. b.) I would like to get suggestions on accurate and accessible Spanish/English - English/Spanish dictionary software, usable at a professional level (as opposed to a dictionary suitable for a student). Thanks in advance for your helpful replies! Cheers, Paul Shallbetter Secret Studio of Minnesota Faribault MN U.S.A.

Hello all, This is really strange. About a week ago, Youtube videos started stuttering (i.e. playing a few seconds, pausing, playing a couple seconds more, pausing again and so on). I first thought it was an Internet bandwidth issue. Then wonder of wonders, tonight while attempting to listen to a pretty marvelous arrangement of "Amazing Grace" played on the autoharp, when the stuttering began, I was inspired to close JAWS. Bingo. The Youtube video played fine. Has anyone else experienced this, and can anyone offer an explanation?

Re: [JAWS-Users] accessible IRC clients
Yep... it was discussed here just last night, in fact. BOFH Net IRC is an I.R.C. client application especially made to work with screen readers. Alternately, you can install M.I.R.C. and then install Ronologue, an IRC client "interpreter" to run with it. Personally, I've tried the Ronologue package and didn't much like it, but I have never tried BOFH Net. I'd love some feedback on how well this application works for chatting/file transfers on IRC.

Re: [JAWS-Users] [JFW] JAWS at startup
A computer service specialist I know told me that even a busy desktop (with background image), system sounds and things like automatic update agents deprive the computer of resources everytime it's booted. I have blanked my desktop and have removed many programs from the startup sequence. It does in fact, help. Skype, AVG and to a lesser degree my N.D.A.S. (Net Disk) manager all consume quite a lot of RAM...so I will try removing some of the less-essential apps from the startup. Wish me luck! Paul P.S.

Re: [JAWS-Users] [JFW] JAWS at startup
I am running a XP Pro machine with 1 GB RAM and JAWS 7. Hate to say it, but increasing the memory from the original 512 MB didnhelped JAWS run better...but not much. I might be wrong, but I've often wondered if the resource problem doesn't come from Eloquence and that a separate soundcard or speech synthesizer might solve a great part of the problem. I've also wondered if different JAWS configurations are available, i.e. a version for users who don't use the braille functionality, for instance. Pardon my ignorance; I might be way out in left field on both ideas. Paul At 09:40 AM 2/14/2008, you wrote: >Hi, whatever! My laptop came with 2 GB of RAM, and JAWS is working fine >here!

Re: [JAWS-Users] JAWS on thumb drives
Here's an odd, probably dumb question. I currently run JAWS 7 on my XP Pro system. I am authorized, of course. Can I download the thumb drive version/video intercept stuff, then authorize it with my existing key? This solves a big problem of whether or not to bring the laptop when I travel on vacation. The hotel where I stay is equipped with several PC's and I only use my computer to retrieve contact info and do e-mail when I travel. It would be very cool to carry a thumb drive in my pocket instead of the laptop.

[JAWS-Users] [JFW] JAWS at startup
Group, I too have had JAWS (7.0, Win XP Pro) belch and die during startup. I noticed that Skype and JAWS both come up at about the same time. JAWS is a wonderful program, but IMHO is unfortunately a real resource hog, particularly if one is using the Eloquence synthesizer. My solution was to take Skype out of the startup sequence, then start it manually afterward. Since doing that, JAWS has had no problems loading/starting. Also, AVG and JAWS seem to slug it out once in awhile, with JAWS usually ending up the loser. Am I wrong in describing JAWS as a "resource hog?" Does anyone have actual stats on how much (i.e. what percent of) system resources JAWS requires? Is there anything that can be done to tweak the memory manager in Windows XP to accomodate JAWS requirements? Thanks.

Re: [JAWS-Users] What was the last really good version of Winamp?
I found Winamp v. 3.62 to be the most stable with JFW versions prior to 7.0. This however is just my opinion. The biggest problem I've found with later WinAmp versions is that the library is nearly inaccessible, and the playlist editor seems much harder to use. This could be the result of user error (mine) or something intrinsic to WinAmp, but I never used to have the problems I'm experiencing now with WinAmp 5.11.

Re: [JAWS-Users] strange thing happening with windows media palyer
Hi, When an mp3 is encoded, it can be encoded at 44.1kHz, the normal encoding resolution for audio CDs, for instance. Bitrate (the number of bits used during a given time period in an audio stream) is another matter. If the files are playing at double speed, I'd guess that they were encoded at 22.05 kHz instead of 44.1. If this is the case, "resample" the file in GoldWave and then save it under its original filename. Problem solved. You can write me off-list if I can help walk you through this. It's pretty easy to do, but I'm not great at explaining things. Let me know if I can help.

[JAWS-Users] [JAWS] New Google accessible search for blind/visually impaired
First I will past the link then under the link I will post the information. Read the information before using the link. http://labs.google.com/accessible/ Accessible Search FAQ What is Google Accessible Search? Accessible Search is an early Google Labs product designed to identify and prioritize search results that are more easily usable by blind and visually impaired users. Regular Google search helps you find a set of documents that is most relevant to your tasks. Accessible Search goes one step further by helping you find the most accessible pages in that result set. How does Accessible Search work? In its current version, Google Accessible Search looks at a number of signals by examining the HTML markup found on a web page. It tends to favor pages that degrade gracefully --- pages with few visual distractions and pages that are likely to render well with images turned off. Google Accessible Search is built on Google Co-op's technology, which improves search results based on specialized interests. Why is Google offering this? Accessible Search is a natural and important extension of Google's overall mission to better organize the world's information and make it universally accessible. Google Accessible Search is designed to help the visually impaired find the most relevant, useful and comprehensive information, as quickly as possible. In the past, visually impaired Google users have often waded through a lot of inaccessible websites and pages to find the required information. Our goal is to provide a more useful and accessible web search experience for the blind and visually impaired. How do you decide which sites are "accessible" and which are not? Broadly, Google defines accessible websites and pages as content that the blind and visually impaired can use and consume using standard online technology, and we've worked with a number of organizations to determine which websites and pages meet those criteria. Our methods for identifying accessible pages and content are always evolving; Currently we take into account several factors, including a given page's simplicity, how much visual imagery it carries and whether or not its primary purpose is immediately viable with keyboard navigation. How can sites make their content more accessible to the blind? Some of the basic recommendations on how to make a website more usable and accessible include keeping Web pages easy to read, avoiding visual clutter -- especially extraneous content -- and ensuring that the primary purpose of the Web page is immediately accessible with full keyboard navigation. There are many organizations and online resources that offer Website owners and authors guidance on how to make websites and pages more accessible for the blind and visually impaired. The W3C publishes numerous guidelines including Web Content Access Guidelines that are helpful for Website owners and authors. Broad adherence to these guidelines is one way of ensuring that sites are universally accessible. Does Accessible Search Filter Out Inaccessible Content? No. First of all accessible is a very subjective measure --- what's more, queries can vary widely with respect to how accessible the results are. As an example, if you are looking for information such as weather forecasts or reference material such as the definition of an unfamiliar term, the result set often consists of both accessible and inaccessible content. In these cases, Google Accessible Search promotes those results that have been measured to be more accessible. On the other hand, if the particular query is about video games, the chances are fairly high that a majority of the best results for that query will be visually busy pages. So in the final analysis, we never filter content in Google Accessible Search; we pick the best results exactly as we do with regular Google search, and then re-order the top results by their level of accessibility. The Result Set Looks Identical To Regular Search? The operational word in the above question is looks. Google Accessible Search does not in any way change the look and feel of Google search results. What it does (see earlier question) is to re-order results based on how accessible they are. Navigating Search Results After Google Accessible Search was launched, many of our users sent us feedback about the results page (both Google Accessible and regular search) being difficult to navigate with screenreaders. In response, we have updated the results page in both cases to have section headers that can be used in conjunction with screenreader hotkeys to quickly skim through the page. Thus, once Google has responded to your search query, use your access technology's "move by section" keys to move between the section that displays sponsored ads and the individual results.

Re: [JAWS-Users] Gold Wave versus Switch
Al, GoldWave is super-simple. Select File menu, then arrow down to "Batch Processing" A dialog box opens. Select the Add Files button. You can pull files from numerous directories. Once you've selected the files you want to convert (and they can be from numerous formats), you tab down to ...Save files as..." and select mp3 (or whatever file type you want). Tab again to get to "attributes" and arrow up or down through the various bitrates and whether you want the files saved as stereo or monaural. The converted files are saved in the same directories from whence they came, although I believe that you can specify a "save" directory in the Options menu. The only slightly inconvenient thing with Gold Wave is that the encoder is not included with the software. You need to download lame.enc, widely available for free download from the Internet and unzip it into your Gold Wave parent directory. Once this is done however, the conversion to mp3 is very easy. Gold Wave is "crippleware," but I really hate that term. The software is fully functional for a generous number of "processes," and batch conversion is considered a single process (i.e. each file in the batch is not considered a separate process). At under forty dollars, I think it's a good deal. Furthermore, Gold Wave does much more than convert files. It is a complete audio file editing package, which permits recording and manipulation of sounds. If all you're trying to do is to convert between file formats, it may be more than you want or need.

Re: [JAWS-Users] Real Player
Addendum, I deleted Al's question about how GW compares with Nero for conversion. Gold Wave is slow on my 1.7 GHz Centrino-fueled laptop, running XP Pro and JFW 7.0. I found Nero much harder to navigate, but I think it might be a hair faster. I have no data to support this; it's just the impression I got while trying both. GoldWave is superbly easy to navigate with tab and arrow keys, and JAWS reads most dialogs flawlessly, thanks to the available scripts. HTH, And it's just my opinion, your mileage may vary.

Re: [JAWS-Users] Real Player
Hello group: There are numerous utilities out there which will convert between audio file types, including Sound Cab (not very JFW friendly) and Switch. I use Gold Wave's batch processing function to convert between any of 20-odd different sound file types, including MP3 (all sizes), WMA, OG and others. The Goldwave software has been extensively reported on at blind cool tech and other sites. It's $40.00 or so to register, but works for a very long time as an unpaid demo. I paid for my copy, as I use it for a lot of studio tasks around here. Good software.

Re: [JAWS-Users] accessible reminder web sites and program
Hey all, From the description on the website, it looks like Calendar Magic is serious overkill. Frankly, I don't need to know what day it is under the Tibetan calendar I also wonder how well it works with JAWS, considering that there are numerous options for changing colors, etc. within the software. I have used the crude but effective Talking Toolbox from http://www.braillesuperstore.com for months. It features numerous reminder functions, alarm clocks and the like. No, it's not free, and I seldom use any of the other tools in the box (basic word processor, e-mail), but as a calendar I have not found anything easier to use. Just my opinion.
