Can people inform me, perhaps off list, of sites containing audio-described
movie recordings, or making it possible for individuals to acquire them?

Came across another gem of a site that features some pretty good 
Described Public Domain movies.

They do have an RSS feed listing the latest podcast, so go check it

RE: bluetooth audio signal booster question

2015-12-23 Thread Gary Ray
I think that Blue Tooth is just flat out limited on the distance it
will work.  Years ago, I had heard that it was going away, but it got a new
life from the phones that use it.  But, it just has built in limitations.

So, no, I have never heard of a signal booster for Blue Tooth.

Hello Listers,

I am able to pare my windows 10 laptop with my hk onyx studio speaker.  I am

further?

RE: accessible converting program

2014-12-19 Thread Gary Ray
Hello:

I use Audiozilla.  You get a trial that allows you to convert 6 files.  Cost
is then $29.95.

You highlight a file and use the Application key to select Audiozilla and
then a menu comes up asking you to select the format you wish to convert to.
Then it does it.  Very little interaction and confusion.

RE: Penfriend Audio Labeler

Gary Ray here.

I have had a Pen Friend for a number of years.

I use mine regularly.  Sometimes it does feel a bit cumbersome, but it is
like anything else...if you want to use it, you will use it.

I use mine mostly for marking SD card holders, program CDs, and other
smaller things.

JAWS Accessible CD Copy Software

2014-02-19 Thread Gary Ray
Gary Ray here.  I am a new member.

 

I was wondering if folks can point me toward a good accessible CD Copy
software.  Until recently, I could use magnification software which allowed
me to use most programs.  Now, I am on JAWS only and just cannot seem to
find the appropriate software program.

 

Any experience will be appreciated.
