Re: Ujnfortunate AOL News and Information
Hi James, I think that a bunch of blind people organizing a boycott wouldn't do any good, however, if we can find ways to convince our sighted colleagues, friends, relatives and neighbors to purchase only from companies that also happen to pay attention to accessibility, then, we would have something useful. :-) In many other areas, AOL has actually made great strides forward in accessibility. AOL's Instant Messenger and Mail services are known to work well with screen readers. I use AIM on my job to communicate with other members of my team around the world. - Original Message - From: "TheLearningCenter" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: Sent: Sunday, June 08, 2008 4:32 AM Subject: Ujnfortunate AOL News and Information For as long as I can recall, which is ever since AOL has been around, their services have not been that accessible to Blind people. I know I have heard that they have done some things to make their services more accessible to us, but it has been a struggle for them to even do anything. I guess I am wondering why blind people continue to support companies who don't seem to care anything about our accessability needs and continue to put out products that make us work very hard at using them. Now, about the AOL's new CBS Player, AOL knew of their plan to change their program, so why couldn't they test and make sure the product is accessible to screen readers before they installed it. It makes absolutely no sense to put out a product that is not accessible to all of its users. AOL knows blind people use their service, especially radio and music playing components of their system, so why do they continue to disregard us? Maybe just because they can. I don't buy that argument that "business requirements forced them to rush the product in prior to them wanting to do so. CBS has been around for a while and I often access their stations and theeir player seems to be accessible enough. Does the one AOL uses work differently than the CBS stations would use? It sickens me when companies continue to cry about not making things accessible because of business reasons. We blind people pay our subscription fees to them, so shouldn't our needs matter too. I think blind people make up a pretty sizeable market for their types of services. My question would also be, if it is so hard to do, then how do other companies do it. Like someone said, doesn't they (AOL) own Winamp? Why not use Winamp for their needs? I have had enough of this stuff and excuses. I will no longer spend my money with companies who act this way. I can take my money elsewhere. We should do this across the board and let those companies who don't seem to care know what we are doing. Those companies that we have to use, then we can sue them into complying with the law; those who we only use for pleasure and entertainment, we should let go. You know, blind people get such treatment because we accept it and continue to buy stuff that don't work for us. Companies like Apple, who makes a cell phone with no keyboard or bluetooth accessability; Intuit (Quicken), who produces an almost totally inaccessible tax program, even though blind people have to do taxes to and want and need to do their own taxes; and most of their radio automated programs (OTSDJ), which require us to always script them into shape; and many more, who just don't seem to care, should be dropped by us and not used. I know we will say that we need some of these programs, but these companies don't seem to care and only give lip service to making their products more accessible. I would say to AOL, "Get your act in Order." Make this product accessible, it is only a software thing and shouldn't take too long to take care of it. Excuse time is over and better service is in order. Finally, every person who continue to use these types of products despite their companies' failure to care about our needs are contributing to the problem; stop keeping them into budsiness to discriminate against you and put your money where your needs are. If they say, our money is not enough to make a difference, then let's move on and find a product that meets out needs. If we need the product and it is the only one around, then sue those companies into making their products accessible. I heard this stuff fifteen to twenty years ago, when I got my first (PCXT) and should not be hearing it now; we are trying, but business requirements make us go backwards or do nothing at all. Let's get our butts in gear and start demanding better service; there is absolutely no reason why any software should be inaccessible to blind people, as the technology is there to make anything accessible. AOL and similar companies should ask us before emplimenting programs that don't meet our needs and maybe we can help them know what route to take.

Re: Unfortunate News From America Online (AOL)
Hi Albert, Chris and all, I do think Tom Wlodkowski is doing his best in this situation, but it is also clear to me that AOL's accessibility team has no real significant power. They can give advice to others within the company. Sometimes, those others decide to follow it, other times they do not. I do agree that, given the existence of accessible technology in this area, there's no good reason for CBS to have dropped the ball and for AOL to have just accepted the situation. I hope it gets resolved soon, and that anyone concerned about this issue will indeed send their feedback to both AOL and CBS. - Original Message - From: "albert griffith" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "'PC Audio Discussion List'" Sent: Sunday, June 08, 2008 8:08 AM Subject: RE: Unfortunate News From America Online (AOL) Chris, in the main I agree with your stance on this issue. However, I don't think it's important that we know whether AOL could have made a decision sooner. While I'd like to satisfy my curiosity with regard to this issue it will be very difficult to prove. Furthermore I don't believe the law mandates that every aspect of a site be accessible. I do think owners of these large sites have to make a reasonable effort to make it so. Therefore if Curtis Chung and the AOL person are working together in good faith toward a solution we need to be satisfied with that partnership and those goals for the moment. AOL has made great strides toward the development of fully accessible web content and it appears they're interested in progressing toward the same end goal as before.

In this case though, I'd like to point out a few things. "we will take some significant steps backward as we transition to the use of a third party player. We apologize for the inconvenience" I believe Curtis Chong when he says "Mr. Wlodkowski ... is a man of integrity and a person who is deeply committed to ensuring access to AOL's services by all people with disabilities.", but it sounds to me like our inability to access AOL or CBS Radio is considered a mere inconvenience to AOL. Since we have other streaming options, I suppose technically it is just an inconvenience, but if everyone providing on line streams and media players felt this way then it wouldn't be long before this vital source of information and entertainment would be inaccessible to the blind. I agree that as blind persons and Americans, we have bigger issues facing us, but you can always say that about any given issue. Furthermore, more and more people are getting their information on these weighty issues over the internet, and the blind should be able to do the same. "The necessity of this new business model was driven by the dramatic increase in the music royalty rates paid for Internet Radio. This action by the record labels left AOL no choice but to look for an alternative way to stay in the internet radio business. Given the business demands and accelerated transition, there wasn't ample time for us to effective address the major usability issues with the CBS Player. The AOL Radio team is aware of the accessibility barriers presented by this transition, and is committed to addressing the issue with CBS Radio once the new player interface launches on June 9." When did AOL and others know about this dramatic increase in royalty rates paid to internet radio? Is it really the case that they didn't have ample time to deal with accessibility issues? Why are they waiting until June 9th to address this issue with CBS radio? Like I said, we shouldn't "panic", although I'm not sure I've seen anyone panic yet, and we shouldn't jump to the conclusion that anyone needs to file a law suit. On the other hand, although AOL and Mr. Wlodkowski are coming clean with this issue, I don't think they should be given a free pass either. For my part, I'm not convinced they couldn't have addressed this issue before June 9. Furthermore, I don't think business needs are a justification to break the law. Well, that's just my $0.02, and I know people who are a lot smarter than me and who are a lot familiar with all of these issues are looking into this.

Re: Accessibility Evangelism and Unfortunate News From AmericaOnline(AOL) Radio
Hello Mike, Well, hmm, of course, urgings to advocate for better accessibility do not negate other items on one's plate, and I even said this particular specific matter isn't of the utmost priority in my own article on this subject... :-) This AOL player issue is primarily used in the article as yet another example of possibly taking steps backward and attempting to do something about it. How many minutes does it take each of you to write two short notes: one to the AOL accessibility team and another to CBS? I even provided the e-mail address and link in my article. What more do you want? Of course, again, there are always many many reasons and ways to justify doing absolutely nothing at all.

John, your safely crossing a street deserves 250% greater attention than this CBS/AOL player. Perhaps this player will prove workable via scripts or whatever. Perhaps other players can and will play the same streams. Frankly, I am ffar more concerned about the spiraling cost of gas, how expensive medical care and insurance is, that, in the case of northern Florida, you guys are fighting the Central part of the state over water wrights, and the myriads of other social issues that involve quality of life. Sure, it would be nice if this player worked out of the box; but having watched so many of these blindness evangelist battles, I often have found that the things that get complained about are usable either directly or indirectly. It is not that this isn't important; but there are far more things that ought to be viewed as important and perhaps some values are totally out of whack when quantums of energy get directed to an audio player rather than other things. There aren't unlimited dollars out there; and frankly I have a greater concern that John can get home safely than whether he'll have to use another player to listen to his favorite sports talk show. why? Well, if he cannot get around safely, he won't be able to listen to those shows anyway? And if he cannot afford adequate health care directly or indirectly, he won't be around to listen either. America is going through tough times these days; look at home foreclosures, rising unemployment rates, and all the rest. Politicians cannot embrace the types of things we are talking here at the moment as frankly it is even sad that we can give these things greater importance when there are true hurts out there, not just inconveniences. Yes, I'll be curious Monday to see what this means if anything. However, I am guessing that all of us will be listening to most of the same things we do today, but perhaps in a slightly different way. And before writing off the new AOL player, I would suggest first looking at the product to see if the warnings are warranted. Perhaps they are, but they may not be also.

Accessibility Evangelism and Unfortunate News From America Online (AOL) Radio
Hello Everyone, As an accessibility evangelist, of course, I disagree with any and all those who frequently make statements emphasizing our "smallness" and insignificance in the world at large as a means to justify doing little or nothing about accessibility challenges. Yes. We are very tiny in number in comparison with the rest of the population who is not blind, but that really has nothing to do with how well we can make our voices heard in order to achieve positive changes for the better. One possible metaphore might be to compare us with those who profess their faith in the Jewish religion here in the United States, which is an incredibly small minority in number as compared with catholics and evangelical Christians. Despite their small numbers, the Jewish seem to experience little or no difficulty making their needs known and they tend to enjoy great success and wealth in all walks of life. I'd like to see something similar happen for those of us who are blind. We can't look to others to make this happen, but only to ourselves. It must start with us! We must decide that we are valuable human beings deserving of our human rights, of the accessibility and equal treatment with our sighted peers we must enjoy in order to be able to fully participate in society on a par with the sighted. Though it starts with us, a technological world dictates that we have equal access to information in the information and knowledge age. Accessibility must ultimately be available if we are to actively and productively participate in such critical areas of life as education, employment and leisure. We must achieve equality of opportunity through making our own accessibility solutions where practical and advocating for reasonable accomodations when accessibility is required in order for us to participate. The issues boil down to one of these two needs in all cases. There is no third option of taking the path of least resistance; not if we want to count ourselves as fully living and breathing human beings and citizens, possessing the same inalienable rights and responsibilities already enjoyed by the sighted. One excellent example of a project where we are making our own accessibility is Benetech's Bookshare project available at http://www.bookshare.org. Blind people and others with print reading disabilities subscribe to a web based service where they may download and read from a selection of tens of thousands of books available in an accessible, electronic format for use on their computers and portable assistive technology. This is all made possible by a team of blind and sighted volunteers who scan books into electronic format and validators who correct scanning errors and reformat the books for final entry into the collection. Another example of making our own accessibility is the existence of the blindness access technology industry. We spend tens of thousands of dollars on screen readers, Braille displays, scanners with optical character recognition software, specialized personal digital assistants (PDAs) and a myriad of other high and low technology items on which we have grown to depend in order to adapt ourselves to the world. In many cases, government agencies purchase some or all of this technology under specific circumstances, but this is, by no means, guaranteed. Despite our own efforts, there often remains a wide gap between that which we are able to make accessible on our own and that technology which we must use in the classroom, on the job, etc. When we are not able to close these gaps through our own efforts and assistive technology, reasonable accomodations on the part of the developer of that technology are required if we are to be permitted full and equal participation. Failures to reasonably accomodate our needs often result in the curtailment of educational opportunities and even the needless loss of jobs! As a blind community, we can take actions such as the following to improve our accessibility to the world of technology around us: * Understand that we need equal accessibility in order to participate in society on a par with our sighted peers. * Believe and live the concept that accessibility through reasonable accomodations is a human right and the right thing to do in all cases. * Check with other individuals and organizations in the blind community to see if the technology has already been made accessible. * Write letters to technology developers asking that they reasonably accomodate our need for accessibility. * When available, provide suggestions and technical consulting necessary to improve accessibility. * Work to have existing legislation covering accessibility enforced more consistently and frequently. * Encourage the passage of new legislation to clarify our needs and mandate increased accessibility in areas not already covered. Achieving equal participation in the knowledge age is currently a hard fought str
Re: Unfortunate News From America Online (AOL)
Hi Kelly, Indeed, I am understanding so long as AOL is actively working with CBS to meet their accessibility obligations under the laws and in accordance with NFB's previously agreed upon settlement with AOL. If it turns out this is, in fact, not happening in good faith, then NFB should be ultimately taking the lead as the organization who originally made the agreement. In the meantime, I am aware of URL capturing, but I feel it should be AOL who provides this information officially as an alternative for its blind and visually impaired listeners as a means of showing good faith. I will say one good thing for AOL in this instance. They are, at least, admitting there is a problem, which is a heck of a lot more than most mainstream technology companies do for us these days. Most companies continue to believe it is acceptable to ignore our needs. That's happening for one reason.

He indicated that there was no commitment from CBS Radio and other third parties to give AOL the ability to modify the interface for accessibility. Currently what we have are promises from time Warner that can't actually be fulfilled. has anyone asked Tom for the time frame for resolution and ongoing updates? Regarding alternate methods, consider accessing a CBS Radio stream and capturing all the URL's that are generated with a program such as Replay A/V or URL sniffer. Plug each URL into Winamp and in nearly all the stations I have tried, I eventually connected with the station. Bookmark the station and then access it in Winamp in the future. I have listened to WXRT in Chicago for about a year now with this method. Other cool CBS stations are likely similar.

Hello Everyone, This announcement represents a friendly reminder for all of you to listen to an important, two hour live Main Menu coming right up later today. Coming up on an exciting two hour live program, we hear from a panel of technology industry experts all about CAPTCHA (visual verification) and other forms of visual authentication, accessibility challenges to existing visual verification systems, the balance between human rights and security, existing solutions for providing reasonable accomodations to visual authentication and emerging accessibility solutions. We are proud to introduce an impressive panel of experts and their primary areas of focus: * Matt May from the Adobe Systems Accessibility Team will discuss his 2005 W3C note on the inaccessibility of CAPTCHA. * Luis von Ahn from ReCAPTCHA at Carnegie Mellon University will describe their accessible solution. * Steve Dispensa from PhoneFactor will tell us all about an innovative, telephone based two-factor authentication system. The accessibility of CAPTCHA (visual verification schemes on the web) and other similar forms of visual authentication is a topic of utmost importance to the blind, visually impaired and others with print reading disabilities. Real, universally accessible solutions are going to require significant amounts of effort, good will and out-of-the-box thinking. We encourage active participation by the blind community, members on all sides of the issue from the mainstream technology industry and those sighted people who care about what happens to us.

Re: Slim Server 7.0
Hey Kelly, I have just forwarded your note to a colleague within the company for which I am employed. He is a managing director of the Logitech technical support project, which includes Squeezebox. Hopefully, I can get some answers from Logitech. In the meantime, I would strongly urge you to open up a ticket with the company's technical support team (which actually goes to my employer) and escalate it as far as possible, not granting permission for its closure until the access issue is addressed to your satisfaction. If any others out here have Logitech products with access issues, I would advise you all to do likewise. I'm wondering if we can somehow utilize the technical support process of some companies to get at least some of what we need? - Original Message - From: "Kelly Ford" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: Sent: Sunday, March 23, 2008 10:06 AM Subject: Slim Server 7.0 Hello, Apologies if this has been discussed here already but I didn't see it. Folks here turned me on to the Squeeze Box more than a year ago and I've been very pleased. However, I just updated to the 7.0 version of the Slim Server Software for streaming to a Squeeze Box and initial impressions are that the server software is less accessible than the 6.5 version. You can switch back to the classic interface which resolves most of the challenges. The main reason I updated was because now the Pandora music service is intigrated into the server software. Earlier you had to connect to the Squeeze Network. The biggest issues I noticed in the 7.0 server software were numerous instances of missing alt text, actionable UI elements no longer created as standard HTML links and many more areas that require use of a mouse. For example to play an entry in the 7.0 server software, you now need to use whatever mechanism your screen reader has for dealing with onmouseovers to get a menu of things like play and add to play list to appear.

I was going to upload this stuff to blind cool tech however the people at that site don't appear to be able to pay "prompt attention" to uploads sometimes, I've uploaded a series of podcasting segments and I haven't even received acknowledgement that they've arrived, haven't arrived or whether they're wanted or not as the case may be so I've decided to create my own "Podcast page, more details on this when I finish constructing it.

Below are two problems I am experiencing with CallBurner since I upgraded to Skype Version 3.6. (1) I have been using CallBurner for months and, up until upgrading to Skype Version 3.6 from Version 3.5, things went well; however, now that I have Skype Version 3.6, during a call, the recording is half done. The CallBurner Program records both voices, but only my voice (from my system) is intelligible and the second party's voice is low and recorded at a very slow rate (speed). The recording sounds like a record, with a secondary sound behind it. I use to hear all clear voices at the same quality. Could you tell me what to do to get this feature working again. I want a clear and high quality recording of both aspects of the conversation. (2) Also, If I make call with Callburner loaded and activated, I cannot get any tone activity on a certain call and the numbers do not activate or do what the choice asks for; however, once CallBurner is turned off, all phone tones are available and work. I generally have to redo the settings, but they only work for one session and then go back to acting strangely. If I don't load callburner, then there is no problem with tones or activation of numbers or selections. Several or many visually impaired users have spoken of the same problem as stated above. CallBurner is a good program and we enjoy using it. I hope you can assist me in clearing up the problems outlined above. This, as I mentioned above, only seems to be a problem with Skype Version 3.6. thanks for your quick response to this question, James Robinson Audio List Help, Guidelines, Archives and more... http://www.pc-audio.org To unsubscribe from this list, send a blank email to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Audio List Help, Guidelines, Archives and more... http://www.pc-audio.org To unsubscribe from this list, send a blank email to: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

This is in testing phase. I asked DirecTV if I could participate in the testing and was told I had no business in this. I told them to use proper HTML code when designing this new remote bookings service which should be available sometime next year. You cannot control your DVR box's functions completely nor configure your DVR box menu's using the SlingPlayer software.

Just got my new Macbook yesterday and I have to say that I'm pleasantly surprised at how good they sound. I haven't determined exactly where the speakers are in the computer itself yet . I was actually warned against getting the new Macbook, I was told that the speakers were incredibly quiet and lacked bass, if the first point was true then this would have ben an issue for me as I have a hearing impairment and I may have had to consider using external speakers. I'm glad to say however that these things boast plenty of volume and plenty of dynamic range so bass or the top end isn't a problem, more than acceptable in my view for a notebook device. Now here's the really interesting bit as far as audio goes, like my Imac the Macbook has both analog and digital in and out for sound, I've played a DVD on this model and connected it directly to my surround-sound receiver which I reviewed here about 2 years ago, results were spectacular with all the surround-sound functionality working as it should. You can of course, connnect something like an Imic for added audio flexability, I will be doing this so that I can have one device dedicated to record/playback and the other completely devoted to speekc, system sounds, playing audio "on-the-fly" and so forth, the excellent recording software Audio Hijack Pro and the excellent audio editing software Sound Studio will of course be an absolute must for this notebook too. FInally, I'm using Fusion to run a WIndows XP virtual machine with Window-eyes and no problem with audio either though you have to tell Fusion when you've plugged in the Imic if you want to use it with Windows XP and associated software such as Winamp or Total Recorder, this is done through a menu which pops up in fusion, these menus pop up for all connected devices to your Macbook and give you choices on how you want Fusion and Windows XP to connect to them, I think there's an "auto-detect" mode somewhere in there too. Hope this was of interest to some people, I could go further in my discussion of the Macbook but... welll... this is an audio list Audio List Help, Guidelines, Archives and more... http://www.pc-audio.org To unsubscribe from this list, send a blank email to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Audio List Help, Guidelines, Archives and more... http://www.pc-audio.org To unsubscribe from this list, send a blank email to: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

I have to admit, I'm a bit of an ostrich when it comes to certain things--if I don't need 'em, I tend to ignore 'em--until one day, the sun penetrates, my head pops up out of the technological quagmire in which it's been buried of late, and I discover there's actually some new tool out there that will do what I need done at the moment, and it's been around for aeons, and I just never took notice of it! Such is the case with Skype Recorder. However, there appear to be more than one such tool with the same name from different vendors/purveyors/authors. Just Google "skype recorder" and see what you get--a veritable cornucopia of responses, some free, some not, some even going under some kind of daily software giveaway program, probably long expired! So, my question comes down to this: Which one(s) have you used and with what degree of success and pleasure? Or, which one(s) have you used and to what degree of dislike or out-and-out dismay, and, of course, why to all of the above? Thanks for helping clear the fog on this one.

Re: Good digital recorder for recording confreences and lectures
Hi Albert, I actually have three recorders: iRiver IFP 899, Olympus DS-50 and Edirol R-1. I very rarely use the iRiver these days. Each of these recorders has characteristics that are different enough to make them most useful in different scenarios. If one were going to be able to get only one of these, I'd have to vote for the Olympus DS-50 due to its overall accessibility.

As it turns out, the software it comes with is so simple it works just fine with JAWS, and I'd assume it would also work just fine with Window Eyes. There is an initial screen where you have to click on the right icon to get the TV tuner software to load, but it isn't too hard to figure out. The only downside I've run into so far, is that I can't adjust the volume of the TV without also adjusting the volume of JFW. The dongle doesn't have a model number on it that I can find, otherwise I'd include it.

In the past decade and a half, the blind community and disability community as a whole have totally and completely rejected this buck passing. First the major software companies, including Microsoft, Real Networks, and Adobe have been expected from the get go to provide full access to their software, regardless of how it was developed. next, folks engaged the country's largest financial institutions to create access to banking services. The banks worked with vendors, contractors and service providers to deliver talking ATM's for the blind and accessible websites. These efforts led to the first legally binding settlement agreements that committed to web accessibility for people with disabilities. The bank projects were followed by initiatives on cell phone accessibility. the issue was that the wireless service providers passed the buck to the handset manufacturers. yet, the manufacturing companies said that they designed phones with significant input from the providers who would largely market and sell the phones. The arrangement was hardly that of an impartial, arms-length party just purchasing goods in the marketplace, passing the hot potato of access back to the wireless providers. The efforts led to a 2004 agreement by Audio and Verizon Communications to design, manufacture, market and sell a cell phone accessible to the blind with audio-enabled controls. similarly, people with disabilities expected accessibility of voting machines in the United States during the last election cycle during the 2006 elections. Software and control devices for some machines were developed or designed at some of the voting machine companies by foreign subsidiaries or third party vendors. Local election officials facilitated relationships with the various parties to obtain and significantly improve access, allowing voters with certain kinds of disabilities to vote independently for the first time. I realize that the large companies often have complex and many-layered relationships with their vendors and contractors. A vendor may develop or provide access to a product or service to prevent the institution from developing a relationship with another vendor who can provide access and possibly a whole lot more. The large companies can leverage these relationships to obtain consideration from vendors that smaller companies can't. all of this being said, it is highly disappointing that we seem to accept wholesale Applian's response regarding access issues with their products. They don't explain why access issues could not have been written into the contracts or agreements they have with their vendors. It is not clear if the company raised these issues in a meaningful manner early on in the relationship with the third party vendor or if it was an afterthought once the work was completed. In various areas of technology access for more than a decade, people with disabilities have worked with companies to achieve greater independence in their lives through technology. the third-party contractor argument has not been accepted by disability leaders who have worked on access in various sectors in the technology industry. In a similar way it has also been rejected by the mainstream as well. Wednesday's Wall Street Journal ran a lengthy page one investigation of how the largest retailers and apparel makers in the United States are responsible for incredible pollution in China for demanding ever lower prices, leading contractors to pollute the environment to save money. there was no suggestion that gap, Target, Nike, and the like had no responsibility because they used a third party vendor.

A user explains the FCT3 Sound Recorder below. http://www.geek.com/ Review: Freecorder records any audio played on your PC for free by JoelGeek posted on August 21, 2007 7:06 am Applian Technologies just announced Freecorder , a free audio capture program for Windows Vista and XP. The program installs as a tool bar and lets you press the record button at any time you want to start recording. In addition, you can stream live Internet audio stations and record those, too. In my tests I installed Freecorder, restarted Firefox-it works in IE, too-and then was greeted with the new tool bar. I clicked the play button next to the drop down and was listening to music instantly. I then clicked the record button and an MP3 recording of what I was listening to was created on the fly. It really is that easy! I then went to Pandora.com , allowed Pandora.com to create a channel for me, and then as soon as it started streaming, I pressed the record button again. Instantly, I had a recording of my favorite artist in crisp MP3. If MP3 isn't your thing, then you can select WAV as the output, and if you want to record audio from other sources, then you can do that, too (see the Settings picture below). freecorder3.jpg According to Applian, before Vista you could install custom sound card drivers that would allow you to capture audio on your PC . However, with Vista it's either difficult or impossible to capture the audio, so the company came up with this new tool bar. Speaking of the tool bar, it was created in partnership with Conduit, so it has a bunch of sharing / social networking-type functions built-in. freecorder2.jpg Here's a picture of it recording in real-time I can't say enough good things about this program. First, it's free. Second, it's insanely easy to use. I was literally recording seconds after restarting my browser. The only drawback I found is it does make your browser a little more busy, since it's a whole new tool bar. However, there are a bunch of features in this new tool bar, so you may find yourself enjoying the free enhancements to your browsing experience. freecorder1.jpg Here's a clip of the tool bar-I grabbed the half with the recording pieces Audio List Help, Guidelines, Archives and more... http://www.pc-audio.org To unsubscribe from this list, send a blank email to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Audio List Help, Guidelines, Archives and more... http://www.pc-audio.org To unsubscribe from this list, send a blank email to: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Re: Fwd: New ACB Radio Tuner Tutorial is Active!
Hi Cher, I believe the advantage of the Tuner is simply ease of access. Simply run the Tuner and press a single hotkey for access to any ACB Radio stream, for instance, CTRL+I to go straight to ACB Radio Interactive. You could even assign a shortcut key to the Tuner itself, so, for instance, you could access Interactive by pressing CTRL+Alt+A (or whatever you assigned as the shortcut to the Tuner) followed immediately by CTRL+I. - Original Message - From: "Cher Bosch" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "PC Audio" Sent: Wednesday, May 02, 2007 5:28 AM Subject: Re: Fwd: New ACB Radio Tuner Tutorial is Active!

He basically covers the menus, what they do, as well as shows you how to record basic tracks. In it, he covers the fact that if you want your first track to be a pre-recorded track, you merely hit control 1, navigate to the desired track, and hit enter, and voila! You have your first track of music... this would be perfect for your intro music. Your second track could be your voice coming into the previous track fading out.

Re: Sound Forge Tutorial
Hi Billy, Jonathan's tutorial is quite good and mostly still relevant. I'm quite surprised that FS won't sell it anymore. You should ask Jonathan if he would be willing to give it away at this point, especially if he doesn't have any plans to revise it. Brian Hartgen also has a tutorial.

Hi Mike, You should be able to use Replay A/V for the software component, but I do not yet have any experience on the TV Tuner card hardware side of the house. - Original Message - From: "Mike Pietruk" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "PC audio discussion list.

Re: Hats Off to Apple
Hi Dane, Actually, if Apple would like to continue its programs like iTunes University and, for that matter, have iTunes used *anywhere* within education/government here in the USA then, actually, yes, they do "have to" be accessible, otherwise, they're violating at least sections 504 and 508 of our Federal Rehabilitation Act. In this case inaccessibility is technically against the law and could result in losses of millions of dollars in edu/gov contracts. - Original Message - From: "Dane Trethowan" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "PC audio discussion list.

Re: Hats Off to Apple
Hi Stephen, Hmm. Not sure they were an exhibitor last year, either, but they did do a couple of education oriented presentations. I went to one of these and, sadly, it was pretty much all soft fuzzy stuff with few hard facts concerning what really does and does not work with VoiceOver, even in the educational arena. Alas, I just can't imagine VoiceOver, in its present state of evolution, working with the types of software used in schools today especially for math and science. - Original Message - From: "Stephen Guerra" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "'PC audio discussion list.

Re: Hats Off to Apple
Hi Chris, I think Apple is going to be in attendance at CSUN again this year. I think someone should finally really confront them hard about this as publicly as possible. Of course, they tend to send people who really don't know much of anything, but, well, they should take our concerns back with them from the conference. Of course, they should hear from more than just one or two "troublemakers" at the conference concerning issues like this. How about this as a list of issues, which ought to also impact their educational business: * Access to real office productivity suites with VoiceOver? * Compatibility with applications that haven't explicitly been developed for accessibility. * Access to iTunes on Windows. I tried to address these issues last year, but the Apple folks they send don't know how to address them correctly and thus it tends to get side-stepped. Too bad I can't attend this time around. - Original Message - From: "Chris Skarstad" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "PC audio discussion list.

Re: Hats Off to Apple
Hi Chris and all, Anytime we ask for something and the people on the other side ignore us completely, as though we do not exist, well, we have a legitimate gripe with such people. That's exactly how Apple has treated us, in many cases, over the years. I'm glad iTunes is now, finally, accessible. Apple has finally made their own iTunes player and store accessible to its very own screen reader built into its own operating system for goodness sake. It is about time! I'm glad they finally did it, but I'm not sure they necessarily deserve the Accessibility Achievement of the Year or any similar such awards or praise. - Original Message - From: "Chris Skarstad" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "PC audio discussion list.

Re: Replay AV
Hi Catherine, For recording streams, Replay A/V is much more capable than Total Recorder. It can record the stream by downloading directly to a file, thus usually not even requiring access to your sound card. It also contains a media guide allowing you to easily find thousands of radio shows, radio stations, TV stations and podcasts. The folks at Applian have also worked with the blind community to insure the accessibility of this software, so, IMHO, Replay A/V is a great investment! - Original Message - From: "Catherine Turner" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "PC Audio" Sent: Sunday, January 07, 2007 9:57 AM Subject: Replay AV > Hi, > > I asked a couple of days ago about Total Recorder for recording streams. > Now I've found this site in my favourites of a package called Replay AV > which can also be used for recording streams.
