Headphone suggestion (Bluetooth, Wired, or wireless
Hello List! I work as a word processor for a local state agency and use a tape recorder and a pc equipped with JAWS, plus I like listening to XM radio while I'm working. I'm looking for a three-way stereo headset, with large ear covers, as I want all outside sounds to be shut out with great professional stereo sound. I will also be taking the headset home to use on my PC and XM radio. I hope I can find one without totally emptying the bank, but I'm willing to get a good one because my agency may get it for me. Now, this set must be professionally sounding, Bose like. Since I'm visually impaired, I want this headset to have button controls and operational features. Something like a professional broadcasting device, whereby I could listen to the two devices simultaneously (taking dictation and hearing what I have typed for review) and later turning on XM radio to hear some good stereo sounds. Thanks for your assistance. 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]
Cell phone program on notebook/laptop computers
Hello List! I own a Cingular 8525 PDA. I understand that this is actually a PC with a cell phone program. What I don't know is whether or not the phone portion of this device is the same as a regular cell phone or it is just a program on Windows Mobile. If this is true; then why couldn't the same type program be on a notebook or laptop computer? What is the difference? I hear some notebooks talk of having Windows Mobile operating system on it. If this program could fit on a notebook, then we could just use bluetooth to access it on a bus or in a car--couldn't we? If not, then why not. We could then run Code Factory or a similar program just to work with this device or maybe JAWS or Window-eyes could do the job. I'm just wondering since a PDA is a computer too with a cell phone program. Am I just whistling dixie or is my assumption or perception correct? Do let me know!

Shoutcast or Windows Media servers for cell phones
Hello List! I have a shoutcast server through Ultrahost for my regular internet radio station. I was wondering if such servers exist that are designed for cell phones and, if so, where can I find one? I'd like to stream my station via my shoutcast server and a cell phone server at the same time so cell hone listeners could hear my station as well. A low-cost one would be preferable.

Easy CDDA Extractor Scripts: What do I do with them
Hello List! You know, back when JAWS was installed onto the root director and had the JFW folder right there, one could find the settings folder and add scripts to it. Now I don't see where JAWS is stored, so how do I get the scripts where they are suppose to be? The script writer should put a direct extraction link to the right place in JAWS were they should be (an executable I think it is called). Could someone give me the place where it should go.

Linerec and what should I do with it
Hello List! I am using Winamp 35 Pro and the Sam Winamp encoder (older version) and have an internet stream station that is on from time to time. I can play music fine, but I want to do some talking too. I hear that some ACB Radio people use the Linerec Plug-in to talk. I recently downloaded that plug-in and installed it into the Winamp Plug-ins folder; then I fired up my station and tried to do a little talking after playing a song or two, but nothing happened and it asked me for a URL; I thought I was supposed to be able to talk and it would be recorded through the Sam Winamp Encoder just like the music. Could someone tell me what is suppose to happen when I invoke the Linerec plug-in. Am I suppose to have that dll line in my playlist before this happens. I just fired up the server, invoked the play folder, clicked on ok and music played. I saw something about putting a dll line in the playlist. Should I have done this with an m3u folder or something? I just play from my mp23 folders on my system. Should I be using the winamp play list or create an mp3 folder? Help is needed and appreciated. Once I get this figured out, please tell me how to talk; go through the steps from starting winamp and the encoder to playing songs and talking. that would do the trick for me. Again, thanks.

Windows Media Player on PDA and various formats
Hello Cornell! The Cingular 8525 does have a memory card slot for more storage, but I am not sure how, or if, one could add memory to the phone. That's probably something one would have to take into a shop for I suppose, but I don't know. How does your wife add memory to her T-Mobile Phone? It it a software thing or must one insert memory (RAM) sticks? My Windows Media does play some things (movie clips and songs from stuff from the mobile phone system), but nothing I generate, like my web site stuff or radio stations (including ACB Radio). During a demo of this phone on a blog and Code Factory, the structor played something from a radio station and an MP3, but he didn't mention anything about memory. Maybe you ca n shed some light on this issue for me. I am not that familiar with memory adding on a PDA, but would like to learn about it. thanks very much for your assistance and info.

Setting default player on Notebook
Hello List! I recently purchased a Toshiba Notebook, with Vista. The system comes with Windows Media Player as the default; I normally use Real Player as my default. I also use Winamp to run my radio station. I installed Winamp, with associating it with any music file types; then I installed Real Player and set it as my default. Windows Mwedia Player still has priority and plays everything; however, when I try to play stuff on my web site, which is in M3U format (files), Windows asks me to download the file to my system. I just want to click and play the files (songs). I did see something in Audio on control panel listing format types, similar to what you get when you insert a new CD and windows asks which program to play it in. How does one assure default player in Vista?

CallBurner and SkyLook: What's the difference: Do I need SkyLook if I already Have CallBurner installed
Hello list! I have CallBurner on my system and use it with Skype. Now, I get an advertisement for me to buy SkyLook to use with MS Outlook (I assume 2003 or 2007). Now I originally thought SkyLook could be used in conjunction with Skype, as well as MS Outlook, and that CallBurner was just an accessible alternative. Can Skylook be used to record Skype calls too? Does it do more than Callburner. Now the advertisement say to download and install Callburner if you don't have MS Outlook; Are the two programs interchangeable: can you use either one or both at the same time; would one override the other if installed on same machine? If I have callBurner already, would I have to buy a new copy of Skylook if I wanted it too? I'm considering which one to install on my notebooks or both. Hope someone can give me an idea of what I should do; By the way, how much would it cost me to get additional CallBurner Licenses on my new notebooks; the same question with SkyLook? Lot at once, but I hope someone can shed light on my questions. Thanks for your info and help.

Skype On Notebook and using Skype as mobile phone source
Hello List! I have lots of friends who use Skype and I stay in contact with them a lot during the day. I have had trouble trying to get Skype for Pocket PVC to work (never getting it to contact or work at all), so I take my notebook to work sometimes and use it and my Verizon wireless card to connect to the internet. The problem is, I have to keep the notebook open while I am using it. I was wondering if there is a way to use a notebook with the top closed and locked while you are riding the bus and connect to cell phones, house phones, and skype/MSN/Yahoo while riding the bus; also answering calls this way as well. I don't want to have to open notebook on the bus or plane. I was just thinking that it could work pretty good and save me some money when making calls to U.S. and Canada telephone-wise and skype to skype PC-to-PC contacts. I guess I just want a notebook cellphone and be able to use skype on the go. Oh by the way, I am using Code Factory's Mobile Speak Pocket on a Cingular 8525 PDA that I had Skype Pocket installed on, but had to uninstall because I never got it to work. Then when I got my Toshiba, which I love, I figured it might be a way to do it with this notebook. The toshiba is a little big to carry around, but I can carry it in a bag on my shoulder and interact with it via some kind of wireless keyboard or notetaker (Impower or Pac Mate or something). Am I whistling dixie or can this be done.

Setting Default Players (Windows Media Player; Winamp; or Real Player) in Vista
Hello List! I have a Toshiba notebook running Vista. I want to have Winamp and Real Player on my system along with Windows Media Player. Now, I did this on my HP Desktop running vista and it works, but I can for the world get it to work on my Toshiba. I want Real Player to be my default player. I have taken the requir3ed options and set Real Player as the option, but Media Player still runs the show and plays everything. What do I need to do to get things set the way I want them? Also, whenever I go to my web site and click on a link, which has a M3U file to be played, Windows Vista asks me to download the file. It won't play it on the spot. I think the same thing would happen with any type of files. How do you set default player to come on in Vista. I have two notebooks to set up and another vista desktop. thanks for your help.

Voice Broadcasting Tutorial availability
Hello List! For quite a while, I have had a shoutcast server running and juse it quite a bit to play MP3 and other files. Now, I would someday like to broadcast live in voice and need to know how this is done, specificially from a tutorial on the subject. I have Sam Broadcaster and an older version of OTSDJ, along with Winamp; however, I have found Sam Broadcaster almost impossible to use due to its accessability problems and I can't get Otsdj reactivated after my machine was reset with a new OS; therefore I am stuck with Winamp for the time being. I downloaded and installed the Linerec Plug-in. I saw something on ACB Radio describing how to do this with the plug-in, but I can never get it to work or sound smooth. What I am looking for is a step-by-step tutorial, with examples, how to work this plug-in with Winamp and actually do a little broadcasting using Winamp, both talking and playing music. I guess this would also include some tutorial info on Winamp. I have the server and connectability of the server and my system set up. I just want a good tutorial on broadcasting. I know most of the ACB people use Winamp and the linerec plug-in or Otsdj, so hopefully someone can help me do this. Just a step-by-step text instruction would do as well. I have all the equipment I need to do this and am just waiting on the instructions or tutorial to teach me how to do it. Thanks very much for your time and help. Also, if someone knows of a program (autimated) or system that a person could just install and have everything there. Would a system like VIPConduit, Talking Communities, or any other similar service be use for broadcasting? Sort of a already put-together studio with everything from server connection to playing commercials, etc in a box. That would make broadcasting in voice and playing music easy. If such a thing exist, do let me know. I'm ready to get going.

Locating and securing a Windows Media Server or service host
Hello List! Recently, I listened to an internet radio station out of Georgia called Shallohsplace located at http://shallohsplace.net, with a direct streaming url of http://cobra.mediacast1.com/shallohsplace. My question is "what is this cobra.mediacast1.com. It appears to be some kind of player on the web site or it may be hosted by someone. The reason I ask is that I am looking for a windows media server hosting site or a windows media encoder. I like the way this one sounds. It doesn't look like a hosted site, rather a dsl company's program.

Windows Media Streaming
Hello List! I'm looking for a windows media streaming service at an affordible price, between $30-$50 monthly, for forty to fifty listeners, streaming in stereo at 56k--128k. I have a Shoutcast service and want a windows media service to go along with it. This is a hobby, so I don't want to go overboard, but yet have a great sounding station. Also, I want a service that allows me to play whatever kind of music or show that I want. I found a service called Churchquest that offers a windows media streaming service at $8.95 monthly, but it is a Christian service that does not allow secular music and has no phone support. My Shoutcast server host is great, but I want to offer my listeners a Windows Media Stream as well. Note: this service can be in the U.

Windows Media Servers Vs. Shoutcast Servers and comparing bit rates and quality of listening ro
Hello List! I currently have an internet radio station running a Shoutcast Server at 128K. I also would like to run a Windows Media Server. I'd like to know something about the bit rates in Windows Media Servers in comparison to those of Shoutcast Servers. First of all, I see that Windows Media Servers cost more per bit rate and listeners. Why? Is it the cost of maintaining the server or just a company thing? Secondly at what bit rate could I get a good CD quality sound on my stream with Windows Media Servers (the lower the better and the most listeners the better due to the high cost)? Thirdly, Do I really need a Windows Media Server? Doesn't the user's default player come up whenever he/she click on my station (probably Winamp, Real Player, or Winamp). I thought this was the case, but when I clicked on my radio station link at my friend's house and he didn't have Real Player installed and the station did not play; instead, it wanted to download my stream as if it was a file or program I had ought. Embarrasing! Finally, should I use Winamp as my default player? Would any station or user system be able to play a file if I used Winamp. I actually play the streem through Winamp, with Real Player playing all MP3 and PLS files. I'd like to get this station on the road so I'd appreciate any info on this situation.

Treo 650 (A Palm Phone using Palm-OS)
Hello List! I checked with Cingular Wireless about the Treo 650 and they said they have no info on speech software because it is a Palm thing and Palm won't give them any info on it. I called Palm and they said they had no info either. I then checked with the CodeFactory.es company via the net and they say they support smart phones (palm versions). The Treo 650 doesn't use the Windows Mobile Pocket OS yet I guess. Does anyone know of a seller of the CodeFactory cell phone screen reader programs? I also heard of a program called Talks and Speak (or something to the fact). Would some of the Nokia phone software work on the Treo650?

Cingular 8525, with Windows Pocket Pc 5.0
Well Lists: I had to take the Treo 651 back to the store and got a Cingular 8525 instead. I heard some demos and went to the web sites of Dolphin (Pocket Hal) and Scansoft (Talks) and got demos to try. I want to know if either of these products would work with a Windows Pocket PC Version 5.0 PDA. It is not clear from their sites. All I see is they work on Nokia Phones. I heard on a list once that some of these programs do work with the Windows Pocket PC phones. Could someone tell me which one is most likely to work with this phone? Also, I saw a program called "Mobile Speaks." Is this still a third one? I'm getting overwhelmed with so much stuff to research. All I wanted was a simple Phone (or maybe a PDA Phone). Nevertheless, it shouldn't be so much trouble--should it? Finally, I checked with Cingular and they say they have a program called either "Talks" or "Talkx." Is this the same as Scansoft (Nuance) offers. Cingular subsidizes this software for a one to two year commitment. I already have a two year agreement effective this past Saturday.

OTSDJ and playlist (no Sound)
Hello List! I reinstalled OTSDJ on my system recently; however, it only works after the initial playlist creation. For example, once I get it setup, load or convert files into the Ots format, and run the create playlist feature, things play as usual; however, once I quit the program and come back to it later, nothing happens. I generate a playlist; it says it is creating it; and finally it says it is created; but no music. I did not save the playlist when I closed the program. Am I suppose to save it in order for a playlist to be generated the next time i use the program? Since the files are in the Ots library, shouldn't the playlist automatically generate and play the next time? Also, do I have to do anything with the sound card-- output configuration or something? Previously, it just played once I installed it. Help with info!

Using A Mixer to connect microphones (two) and other audio devices to broadcast music and voice online
Hello List! I have a five-channel Ederol mixer that I want to use to speak through my computer. Now, I also have two mikes that I want to plug into the mixer. I see six large plugs for a large mike connector in the back--four says input and the other two are for running connecting the mixer to the computer. On top, there are two knobs for each input device I think. Anyway, I connected the mixer to the soundcard's line-in jack; plug a mike into one of the designated plugs for mikes; and then I turned on the device to see if I could hear anything. Well, I can only get sound in one ear. Is this what should happen? When I turned on the mike and listened through my speakers (stereo), I only hear sound out of one. I'm accused, but shouldn't there be a way to get sound from both mikes or am I just suppose to hear the sound in one ear? What are the steps in setting up a mixer and devices to a computer?

Trouble with CallBurner properly recording both sides of conversation in Skype Version 3.6 and No Tones or inoperative selection feature when making calls while calls are being recorded with CallBurne
Hello CallBurner Support! 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]
Apple IPOD Shuffle and Setting it up
Dear Lists! I have an Apple IPOD Shuffle and am trying to get it to set up or work. First of all, I attempted to recharge the unit by plugging the USB cable that it came with into the Vista Machine and let the unit charge in its cradle for up to four hours. The unit never seemed to charge properly, as the light remained yellow. However, the unit played when I copied some MP3 files onto the drive for it. As soon as I plug the ipod in to the usb, it plays in Windows Media Player. We cannot get it to play from the unit when it is unplugged from the computer. Now, the directions (quick start) say it s fully charged when light is green and fully sincted. My question is, do we have to install itunes on the unit or some other media player (Real Player or Windows Media Player) to get it to play. Give me step-by-step directions to setting up the unit if necessary.

Looking for Blind I-Pod Users Page; Rebuild.EXE; and Anapod & accessories Programs for working with I-Pod on Windows machine
Hello Lists! One of the guys on this list mentioned a program called Rebuild.exe which can be used to make an I-Pod Shuffle accessible and this person said you could get this program from the Blind I-Pod Users Page. Could someone tell me where this site is located (URL) and/or how I could get this rebuild.exe program, along with the Anapod and similar programs. I want to be able to manipulate and put songs on and off the I-Pod Shuffle. Also, if someone knows of one, a program to use on a Sandisk MP3 player would be nice too. Similar stuff as the I-Pod.

GPS (Sendero) and Toshiba Notebook
Hello List! I have a Toshiba Notebook and have heard of a GPS system called Sendero. Could a GPS system like that one be made to work on a Toshiba Notebook. I have heard they work on systems such as the Pac Mate and Impowered PDS and other similar devices, but I don't have one of them, so I'd like to know if I could hook one of these devices to my notebook. I currently use a wireless modeum for Verizon service on my notebook via a USB connection. the device is less in size than a small remote control device. If the GPS is such a thing, could I hook it to my notebook and install the software for it on the notebook and have it work. If this device can't properly be used for such a thing, is there a software solution to my needs? Could I get a software program that could install on my notebook and have access to all of the maps and stuff that a GPS software program would have and have it work like my wireless modeum? I have four USB ports so room is no object. Thanks for your time and help.

Magic Jack and accessability of the device/service
Hello List! A company just sent me a free Magic Jack device; It is a jack that you plug into the pc via usb and you can make and receive calls free for a year. The device normally sells for $29.95, but it drops to $19.95 the next years. You get all phone calls in the US and Canada for free; they say you can take the device anywhere in the world and your freign relatives can have a local US area code; and they can dial your local number via a phone hooked to the device as long as they are logged onto the net, meaning they could make free calls to the US and Canada from anywhere. Just like Skype, you can call foreign destinations for low cost credits. the program is totally accessible from a regular phone that is hooked into the device for calling; however, it does not seem to be too accessible from the pc screen, as it is pretty graphical. It has the basic phone stuff, with a few contact and voice message features; you can switch from phone to headset, but I didn't get it to work yet. If other blind people out there uses this device, I'd like to know how to make it more accessible and, since other blind people use it, there may be some kind of scripts or programs to help it be more accessible. I'm not sure, but it seems to have Yahoo and other features and I think it shouldn't be too difficult to make it accessible on the screen like Skype and Messenger. the system does not put any files on your system; however, it puts a temporary file on your system that is there only as long as your Magic Jack is attached; once it is unplugged, the icon is gone. Supposedly, it works anywhere in the world that has high-speed internet service. I'm traveling to the Philippines soon and am anxious to see if it will actually work in one of their computer cafes. Any comments on this would be appreciated.

Goldwave and SoundForge Tutorials
Hello lists! I own both soundforge and goldwave. I am looking for a copy of Jonathan Mosen's tutorial on Soundforge 4-5 (exact version not known) in any form I can get it, preferably MP3, OG, or Wave. Also, I would like to know if such a tutorial exists for Goldwave and, if so, I'd appreciate someone telling me how to get a full tutorial on Goldwave with a step-by-step approach to learning it. The soundforge tutorial by Mosen really helped me learn soundforge and I feel a Goldwave tutorial would be just as useful. You know, I think such tutorials would be good on all such programs, along with the manual in voice. Thanks very much, 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]
Goldwave Tutorial
Hello List! I recently purchased Goldwave. I have also downloaded and installed the manual; however, I would like to get my hands on a tutorial or book for Goldwave similar to what Jonathan Mosen did on Soundforge years ago. I definitely learned from this type of tutorial, as it contains a live do it and show format for Soundforge. Such a tutorial on Goldwave would get me started on using the program. I'm looking for a step-by-step approach (start to finish). Any info on podcasts on the topic would also be useful.

Station Playlist Studio/Editor/Streamer
Hello List! I've been searching for an easy-to-use DJ program and someone recommended StationPlaylist Studio/Editor/Streamer. From the documentation, it appears to be an easy program to navigate around; however, in reality, it has a lot of functions available and setting it up is a tough thing for me. If anyone uses this program and knows of a tutorial or example of how to set it up and use, I'd appreciate having it sent to me or if that person could tell me where to get it. I'm actually looking for the easiest program to use possible. I want talking and playing music to be relatively easy to do. I'm using their demo pro version now for thirty days.

Streaming Encoders (Sam Winamp Encoder or Shoutcast DSP Plug-In)
Hello lists: (1) Is the Sam Winamp Encoder that I purchased three years ago the same version of the encoder available for purchase today? Has SpacialAudio upgraded this software? (2) Previously, when I used the Shoutcast DSP Plug-in Encoder, it had a limit of bit rate (56k) If I remember correctly. Is this different now and, if so, could I set my bitrate as high as I have bandwidth in broadcast in any format? Also, can I have automatic recording of my stream in this version of the encoder? Also, if possible, could someone send me the direct download link to the latest version of this program? thanks for your time and help.

Linerec Plug-In and Winamp and talking on air
Hello List! Can someone tell me how to do a little broadcasting, specifically talking (voice), streaming on the net using winamp and the linerec plug-in. Now, if there is an easier way to talk on air, do let me know what it is and how to get it. I've tried to use Sam Broacdcaster, but it is too difficult to use and inaccessible; OTSDJ, I've tried to use this one, but it is also a bit complicated without scrips and I can't seem to get my key or license from the program's producer so I can't use it anymore; and, I have downloaded the demo version of Station Playlist/editor/streamer, but haven't figured out how to use it yet. I think the linerec plug-in is the easiest and cheapest so far. I heard someone say you use the linerec through winamp and I must set my volume control to "what you hear." Well, I'm using a dell PC of three years ago or maybe four; it has a sound card with a wincows cvolume type interface, but I can't for the life of me find a "What You Say" control or button. I use Skype and other programs and all tests come out fine and my phone programs work. Winamp has some kind of tool bar or program that you can stream with; does this work with the linerec plug-in or is it different. Hopefully, someone can get me on the right track. I know how to connect to my shoutcast server and play my music; now I want to know how to talk on air. So far, I've been shooting blanks on this one. Hope help is on the way.

JAWS9 and Problems with IE
Hello Lists! I'm not sure it has anything to do with how Internet Explorer is working on my systems, both Vista and XP, but lately whenever I have installed JAWS 8 and/or 9 on my XP systems, everything works like a top, with no problems whatsoever; however, once I have installed JAWS 8 and 9 on my Vista machines only, I've had trouble with Internet Explorer, with the following message, "Internet Explorer is shutting down. If Windows finds a solution to your problem, we'll contact you." Then it gives you an option to close the program. I thought I had fixed the problem by updating my sound system on my new HP Desktop; however, with each reinstallation of JAWS, the problem returns. Now, on my two Toshiba notebooks, on the machine with JAWS 9, IE won't load up at all and quickly closes. This does not happen with Window-Eyes at all, which I also have and run. If anyone else has experienced this, do let me know and possibly give me some solutions to the problem. I emailed Freedom Scientific with the question today and am awaiting their response by tomorrow. Again, IE is the only program that seems to be impacted by something going on when I instll JAWS 8 or 9, especially nine. You know, I am thinking it may have something to do with one of the speech software synthesizers, but I am not sure. Having IE close abruptly that is so annoyingI know they are two different programs (JAWS and Window-Eyes), but they certainly put a lot of synthesizers (speech) on your system; it seems as each put some of the same ones and we have double Decktalks and Eloquences, etc. Again take care; hope someone can help me get rid of this Ie shutdown problem.

Accessible GPS software for PC's
Hello list! I have a notebook and desktop, both running vista; is there any kind of GPS software, fully featured with maps and other direction-giving programs, out there that can be used with screenreaders. For example, if I had my notebook in the car with me and had even a mobile GPS unit running, is there software that could be used in the same way as the GW Micro, Humanware, and other units do>? I mean and have it talk. Sort of like the TomTom adapted for the blind. I want a fully-operational GPS program on my notebook with all kinds of features (Trekker-like features). I really don't want to spend thousands of dollars for the software and I don't need it to walk around with, but I do want it to have it all (satellite connection and the like, plus directional info, and landmarks, and everything else) I want to get a gps system off the store shelf and put adapted software on my pc to use it.

TomTom and what A Blind per can do with it
Hello List! Recently, my wife purchased a TomTom GPS System from Wallmart in thinking I could somehow use it with my notebook computer. I have aToshiba notebook and HP Desktop, both running Vista; I have a home version of the TomTom GPS software. I don't expect to carry the device around with me and use it on the fly, but is there anyway I can access the program via the PC. The unit only has one button and a touch screen. Once you get your data in, you can have directions and stuff spoken to you in great voices. They say the software is strictly written in C/C++ and they even have a kit for customization of the Navigator software. I was just wondering how this product can be adapted to the blind for directions and using the various features of the unit (maps and location lookups, etc.). I know Trekker and other spcially adapted units are more adaptable to the blind, but their prices are way beyond my reach at this time. The TomTom cost $148.00 total and you get it all at once. Does anyone know of any special software that could run the TomTom and make it accessible via a PC keyboard. The unit has bluetooth technology available. What about a brialle keyboard or Stowaway keyboard being used with it to access the minues and stuff. right now, it is strictly touch screen accessible. You can, however, set up the unit and set some preferences through their home versin of the software, but as far as I can see, no blind friendly access is available. My wife has so much fun just finding stuff and having directions readand so forth and so on. I just want to be able to use the unit via my notebook or desktop and use the maps etc. James Robinson ios alatenr 1 Audio List Help, Guidelines, Archives and more... http://www.pc-audio.org To unsubscribe from this list, send a blank email to: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
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.

Magicjack and Screenreaders
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 Audio List Help, Guidelines, Archives and more... http://www.pc-audio.org To unsubscribe from this list, send a blank email to: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
