Re: screen-reader friendly MP3 playlist editors
Hi Ray, It might be worth trying Winamp to manage and edit playlists. I don't use Hal but I know there are Hal scripts for Winamp. However I don't know what enhancements these scripts add to using Winamp. Also if your friend buys Winamp Pro he'll be able to rip CDs using Winamp at whatever speed his CD or DVD ROM drive supports. I hope this helps. Regards Steve.

I tried VLC with windows XP and my new Windows 7 and couldn't get them to coincide with JAWS.

total recorder problem
Hi Gang, I haven't used Total Recorder for a long time and am now trying to put some cassettes on the hard drive. I turn off window eyes so it won't record the speech and then press spacebar to start recording. Then I press spacebar again to stop recording before turning windoweyes back on. Then I find that it is still recording. Are there some special hot keys I can use that might be more reliable? It seems like it used to work every time in the past when I did it that way.

Re: total recorder problem
I've never used spacebar, try control-r? You may also wish to check how the keyboard shortcuts are defined or perhaps you may wish to customise these particularly the Global Hotkeys which may make your life even easier. I must say though that I'm surprised people don't get an extra sound card or device when recording from cassette or whatever, they're dirt cheap these days and you don't have to pay a lot of money for something of reasonable quality these days, an Imic is a great example of this smile.

Re: total recorder problem
Okay upon reading this message again I'm even more puzzled and I ask the question, why do you need to stop Window-Eyes running, I assume you're recording from the line in or similar from your audio device is that correct? That being the case then if you have Total Recorder set so that it records from the line in then running Window-Eyes won't have any affect on your recording whatever.

Re: total recorder problem
Hi. The person is perhaps using one of the drivers that Total Recorder ships with. This enables audio to be directly captured from the sound card, including Window-Eyes speech.
