Re: So does Magic Jack work with JAWS?

2008-04-13 Thread tickpub
Hi, Magic Jack is a wonderful little device that allows a computer user
to call anywhere in the US, Canada and Mexico and across the world if two
of them are used, all for free!
There must be a broad ban or fast DSL connection in order to use.
It simply plugs into a USB port and away you go, if your lucky!
For myself, I am having some problems trying to get it loaded up without
knocking down my sound. But for others, it seems to be just fine, but
that is my luck.

station playlist streamer

2008-04-13 Thread Frank Ventura
Hello all, I have an old PC in my basement in which I have ripped most
of my CDs on to. I want to be able to have them playing in random
(shuffle) mode and be able to listen to it on any of my other PCs in the
house (3 PCs and two wireless laptops). I have come across a program
called Station Playlist Streamer which sounds like it may do what I need
for around $100. Does anyone have any information on this product? Will
it do what I need it to do and is it accessible with a screen reader?

Please...Re: Magicjack and Screenreaders

2008-04-13 Thread tickpub
Hi All, Ok, about Magic Jack, glad your doing ok with it. I tried it as
it so states in its set up and nothing went right.
So far, it has taken me two days to try and figure out what the heck went
wrong. I cannot find anything that it downloaded, this is necessary in
order to clean out my system and possibly try again. But here is the
really bad thing; all my sounds are gone now. I go into the sound
settings and try loading up one of my own or any other and no go. I tried
just setting one, like windows start and when I click the play button to
as if test the sound, a dialouge box shows and says that this media file
cannot be played because my sound card is now in use and as far as I
know, this is bunk.
My jaws works ok, but no sounds in any program. I use to get a sound to
notify me that I got email, now nothing; and so on.

So, does anyone know how to get my sound card working again?
I really would like to get MJ working but not at the expense of jaws or
any other interference.
Any ideas out there?

Re: zen 2gig stone

2008-04-13 Thread Valiant8086 (on laptop)
Hi.
Just so you know, the zen stone is not an ipod. The ipod is an mp3 player. 
The zen stone is also an mp3 player. Yes, the zen stone seams to be 
workable. I got stuck once but I think if you hit select a whole bunch 
you'll eventually find yourself back in the file player portion and you can 
get back to where ever you wanted to go from there. Question though, how do 
you record? Also, my fm radio sucks in this area, I mean really really bad. 
It only picks up one station and that stations, amazingly enough, isn't as 
local as another station which doesn't pick up hardly at all, not even when 
I'm in town which is where the station broadcasts from, strange. From home 
we can hear it but the static is really bad. Any crazy things that can be 
done to help one of these things pick up signal?
P.S. , I found out that you can see your battery status by installing 
creative media light, it tells you on the status line at the end what your 
battery is. Also, you can indeed copy music files onto it with windows 
explorer. The only requirement of something else to do the job is for drm 
protected digital media. Accessible enough creative media light can do this, 
so can windows media player.

Re: Not hearing some XP sounds

2008-04-13 Thread DJ DOCTOR P
Hello Norma,
Your problem has a simple solution to it.
First, go in to control panel.
Then scroll down to sounds and audio devices.
Shift tab over to sounds tab.
Scroll up to the windows default setting then press inter on it.
And then tab over to the ok button, and you are all sat!
I hope this helps you get your windows sounds back.

I believe Sound Taxi will only unlock DRM's if you have the license.
Example: if you've downloaded a file produced by Audible but you want to
change the format, you can because you already have the license to use it.

RE: So does Magic Jack work with JAWS?

2008-04-13 Thread Bradford Trainham
I haven't received mine yet, but it's got one end that connects to a USB
port in your computer and the other end connects to a telephone. 
You apparently plug it in;  It installs itself to your computer and you can
call long-distance anywhere in the United States for about $19.95 a year.
You can probably call other places, but I can't remember the specifics of
that.
Go to
http://www.magicjack.com
And yes, apparently, with a little up front caution, it does work well with
screen readers.

Magicjack and Screenreaders

2008-04-13 Thread JardataMailServicesBox
Hello James!

To answer your question about Magicjack and Screenreaders (JAWS or 
Windows-eyes), yes, a blind person can use it just fine.  All you do is insert 
the Magicjack into a USB port and it installs itself temporarily.  You have to 
answer a few questions at the sign-in screen the first time, but that is it.  
The interface on the screen is not to accessible, but it has a skype-like 
interface and you can enter numbers and there is a dial and hang-up button.  
However, once the program is loaded, you can minimize the screen, so Magicjack 
is hidden or minimized; then you can plug a regular house phone into the MJ 
unit and you are ready to go.  You get a regular dial-tone and you can make 
phone calls directly from the regular phone.  You don't even have to use the 
screen at all.  It works directly like a regular phone.  

One thing:  On my old Dell Desktop, once I plug the MJ unit, the sound goes to 
the phone (XP Pro); however, when I plug the MJ unit into the HP Desktop 
(Vista) I don't get the same effect and the sound stays with the computer.  You 
can turn off JAWS and just use the phone.  Some guy said you could start JAWS 
first and plug in the MJ unit later and the USB may not take over the sound 
card.  

Like I said, MJ is definitely usable via the phone regardless of your 
screenreader.  

I have the unit and it works fine.  They could, however, do a little 
script-type work on the screen interface.  The good thing about it is that, 
once you get the unit, your phone costs go way down.  You only have to pay a 
small licensing fee in succeeding years ($18 a year for me, as I bought unit 
early, but it may be cheaper for current purchasers).  Free long distance in US 
and Canada and skype-type credits for calling abroad.  I think, however, that, 
if you sent a friend or relative in another country a unit, you could have free 
long-distance calling, as long as you both are logged on or if you call your MJ 
number and it is in England, they could answer it and pay nothing.  I like 
that.  

James

Hi Walter,

there's a will a way and a program that will do it.  It's called audio 
converter.  I've been using it for a number of years for just such a task. 
It runs about 20 buycks for a license but once you've gotten it you're 
pretty much set.  to get it go to http://www.audioconverter.com

Hi Folks.  I have a problem.  I downloaded 24 files from the Tesco download

these files to play on my Hi-Fi CD player.  I am unable to burn a disc
either with windows Media Player nor with Nero.  I am also unable to convert
them to MP3 using gold wave.  Is there any way to burn these files despite

Any help will be appreciated.  Walter

Hi. I use to buy tracks from Tesco. I didn't have a problem burning 
them to disc. Why don't you try Express Burn. Another idea is to 
contact the Tesco downloads technical support team.

Yamaha Mixers

2008-04-13 Thread Tom
Wonder if anyone has had any experience using the microphone 
compressors on the Yamaha MG series of mixers?  They 
certainly couldn't replace a good microphone processor but it 
seems like they might do a pretty good job.

Yamaha actually has a website specifically designed for 
screen readers where Yamaha product manuals can be downloaded 
in text format.  Very nice.  Here's the link:

Subject: Callburner Problems


Hello List!

Callburner always seems to be causing me problems when I am using Skype. 
Recently, I downloaded and installed a new version of Callburner and, almost 
immediately, it started working poorly.  Whenever I try to set the options 
or simply click on a choice, I get a big boom that tells me I violated some 
rule.  Now the program simply does not work.  I removed new version and 
reinstalled older version, as well as restored my system to the time prior 
to upgrading Callburner; this has not helped, as I still get the same info 
and problems.  I am using the current version of skype, I haven't upgraded 
skype lately.

If I cannot get Callburner to work properly, is there another program that 
is similar in function and pretty straightforward in using.  I just want to 
set the program to record whenever I make a call, save the recording, and 
get out of the way when I am not using it.  Callburner is beginning to 
bother me big-time.

Burning and Extraction Problems

2008-04-13 Thread Dan Kerstetter
I'm running XP Service Pack 2.  Everything is updated including Windows
Media Player 11

 

My problem is that I can't get any third party software to recognize the one
burner I have.  It's a very generic burner-I can't even remember the name of
it-but it only wants to work with Windows Media Player.

 

That's all well and good and I have WMP set up the way I want it.  My point
is that these other programs should work on my machine.  I've tried Nero
Burning ROM and Roxio's Creator Classic for burning and copying files and
the burner isn't recognized.  Every menu function pertaining to it is
disabled.  If I use CDex to rip a CD it will not compress the file.

 

I would appreciate any thoughts or suggestions.

 

Dan Kerstetter

Re: Not hearing some XP sounds

2008-04-13 Thread Doc
As you go through the tree view each item you can attach a sound to. Just 
highlight one, tab, alt down arrow and choose the sound you want for that 
item by pressing enter.  If you want to test the sound first then tab and 
there will be a play button. Note: when you return to the list of sounds you 
must always do the alt+down arrow to go through the list.
