Re: Nero 9 accessibility
I'm using Nero 9 with Window-Eyes and it seems to be very accessible. The menus in Nero burning Rom speak correctly which was a problem in early versions of Nero 8. I haven't tested it with JAWS but I think it would work well with JAWS too. Also Nero Express is still very accessible at least with Window-eyes. Regards Steve. From: Blackwell, Clifford [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: PC Audio Discussion List pc-audio@pc-audio.org I've been getting notices about the release of Nero 9. It seems that after a little tweeking, Nero 8 worked well. Has anyone tried Nero 9 especially with Jaws?

Fwd: Accessible Digital Jukebox.
From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Hi to the Gui-talk and Electronics-talk lists, Ken here think this maybe will be of interest to both Lists. Here is an Item from Marvel soft. Hello from all your friends at MarvelSoft - _www.MarvelSoft.com_ We just have a quick question for you - do you have a CD? Boy, what a silly thing to ask ... everyone has a CD. Well, okay - how about a computer. Sorry, that's another, uh, silly question - how else would you be reading this newsletter. All right then - you're set. You're ready to enter the digital music world. Would you like to find and play a CD by doing nothing more than pressing a few keys? How about reading the news each night, loading the latest Hockey game on your Mp3 player, or recording a few CD's with music to listen to while you travel? No problem! You're in business! You're ready to roll. But, you say, I haven't found any music management software that can be used by blind computer users. Aha! But, we have. It's loaded with features, packed with easy hotkeys, and entirely narated with human speech. It's brand new, it's top of the line, and it's lightning fast. And best of all, it's cheap! Have a seat - we'll tell you all about it. Digital Jukebox Manages Your Music, Loads Your MP3 Player and More! This powerful software package is so loaded with features, so fast and easy to use, and just so fun besides - that it's difficult to know where to begin! But in a nutshell, Digital Jukebox is an all-encompassing talking digital audio management solution put out by MarvelSoft Corp. (the makers of such highly-acclaimed software packages as Talking Typing Teacher and Talking Toolbox). Our self-voicing, user-friendly software programs are used around the world in homes, businesses, schools, nonprofit training centers, and government agencies by blind and visually impaired students, professionals, and computer users of all ages and abilities. And now, at long last, we are adding an exciting new offering to our product line. So what's all the fuss about? Plenty, to be sure! Digital Jukebox is a powerful multimedia package that gives low-vision and totally-blind people full control over their music library. All from inside this single, intuitive, fully-narrated program, you can play and organize audio CD's, copy music to and from your MP3 player, create playlists of your favorite tracks, sign up for and download podcasts - past or present, listen to Internet radio stations, and a whole lot more. Your new high-tech jukebox allows you to import music from audio CD's, a portable MP3 player, the world wide web, or even from albums you may have already stored elsewhere on your computer's hard drive. Of course, you can collect, store, organize and play a virtually unlimited number of CD's, songs, and other audio tracks. Then, sit back and listen to your favorite tunes in front of your computer, while enjoying simple controls, state-of-the-art skip and search features, and the ability to zap a song in seconds. Or take your music with you by copying it onto your MP3 player, burning it on a CD, or exporting it so it's small enough in size to Email to a friend or colleague. But it doesn't stop there - oh no. Adding music to your talking jukebox is just the beginning. You have the ability to create as few or as many folders and sub-folders as you wish in order to keep your ever-growing audio library well-laid-out. With just a few keystrokes or clicks of the mouse, you can move, rename, copy, edit, delete, or manipulate one track, a whole CD, or even an entire batch of CD's. Numerous navigation hotkeys and functions are also found within your Jukebox, making it a breeze for you to skip ahead a few seconds, several minutes, or even for a designated amount of time - not to mention the handy Quickmark feature, which remembers the last file you were listening to and where exactly you were in that file. A couple other noteworthy features include the option of adjusting your music volume separately from your master volume (meaning you can have your music playing quieter than your screen reader); and a special Hide function which will cause the program ! screen to disappear (even though your music continues to play). For the more advanced computer guru, Digital Jukebox also provides plenty of technical options, such as allowing you to choose your preferred Wave, MP3, and WMA encoding format, the ability to convert files on the fly, and a whole host of other advanced options which enable you to configure the program precisely how you want. Unlike other media players out there, Digital Jukebox isn't just somewhat or mostly accessible; it's totally and completely usable! True to MarvelSoft style, this program was built from the ground up with the needs of blind and visually impaired people in mind. Every function, from simply playing or pausing a song, to the more advanced area of creating a project and bur
Re: Magic Jack experiences
I Liked it! Its much cheaper than the alternatives, and it is easy enough to use with Jaws 8.0. Overall its a really good product for the price and has decent sound quality if using a regular phone (I have not tried it with my mic and PC speakers). One thing that does bother me is the 3way calling. The only way u can 3way is if you ask the 3rd person to call you. Another thing, its a bandwidth hog. I have to shut things such as downloads down before I can use it. On 10/8/08, Roger R.

T-mobile At Home service
Hi all, I just wanted to share information of cel provider T-Mobile's new 'At Home' phone service. You must be a T-Mobile cellphone subscriber, and adding home service only costs an additional $10 per month with 2 year subscription. I had mine fully instaled yesterday and so far, it's great. It is a VoIP service running via your comp. However, if running Road Runner wireless, which has a built in router, it will block the Linxys router that's made for the At Home service. You can read more by doing a google search. The price cannot b beat for unlimited nationwide calling. I was paying $45.95 for Time Warner phone services plus an additional $7.95 for wireless on my modem. The At Home router via Linxys is also wireless. I didn't pay for the router or the 2 V-Tech cordless phones, which costs roughly $159 for all equipment. You may be able to go into your nearest T-Mobile store and talk them into giving you the equipment free in exchange for the 2-yr. subscription.

Magic Jack experiences
what are people's total overall experiences with magic jack, from usability of the interface, sound audio quality, customer service etc... how is the web site for making changes to the account. i went to the site, and it had a lot of flash content but seemed to work fine, but not being a user, not sure how the feature set is controled to forward your number to another phone or turn on and off services. from a service standpoint, how does the site or software provided, let the vision impaired user control what items in their service they wish to have turned on or off? how does it really sound --- how does it work or not work --- what's the real deal with magic jack from folks who have actually used it??? if U have not used it, no need to respond with what u assume, if u have actually used it, what do u really think of the product overall? what are visually impaired folks thinking about magic jack.
