Hi!

I guess computers are just like submarines: as soon as you open a window, the problems start. Jokes aside, I get all the effects described, and then some more, at times when my cpu or disk usage is high. Yes, you heard that correctly, disk is influencing it for me. Timing issues with UIA strike again, I would assume. Insert five minute rant here on why this is unacceptable. Best, Felix Am Fr., 4. Jan. 2019 um 11:52 Uhr schrieb Chris Mullins <cjmullins29@...>:

The virtual recorder install program didn't create an entry in the start menu or a desk top icon or an icon in the applications bar as mentioned in the readme file.

Gene, I think that it's important to respect a person's choice of software for what works well for them even if it's not a choice we would make for ourselves. In this case, Goldwave may well be the preferred piece of software for simple recording for some users. It might not necessarily be the first choice for that task we might think of recommending to someone but people use what works for them and we need to respect that. Someone might choose to use Microsoft Word to jot down and print their shopping list. We might feel that there are better options for that task. We might be tempted to recommend Jarte or even Notepad for what to us might seem like a simple task. However, if a user wants to use Word for that task then they have every right to do so and it's not for us to decide whether using Word for that purpose is the most appropriate choice for that user. Indeed, I could argue for that user by saying that the additional features of Word will always be available if or when they decide to branch out into more complex writing tasks. When that time comes they will already have learned the basics of Word and can therefore advance by learning how to use additional features in a program they already know on a basic level. If I choose to use Goldwave to read text into a microphone then that choice may work best for me. Perhaps I may discover other features contained within the program that I wasn't initially planning to use but which may cause me to be curious enough to experiment.

Kids are learning Office at a young age, starting out with basic tasks but working their way up to intermediate and advanced features. It's much more practical to learn all of these tasks on one program rather than forcing them to change over to another program later on. This is why many blind children start out with JAWS as their screen reader, rather than being taught NVDA and Narrator. You might start out by using JAWS to perform basic screen reading tasks. However, if a student finds that he needs more than the basics he can stay with the same screen reader and learn more as he needs to or wishes to.

Lets just say if I want to record a radio station or anything from my computer what type of program could I use with NVDA? I have heard of total recorder and gold wave would those programs work since I do have everything up to date and I did check in the recording section and I have no stereo mics on my sound card. Have any of you used sound tap or any apps with in the app store to get anything to work with NVDA? I have tried everything with the line in jack nothing. Or maybe I am not setting it up right.

Re: how to record audio from the computer with no mic pluggedin sure could use some help.
David Goldfield
If someone just wants to record and is not interested in the ins and outs, as you say, it's certainly appropriate to say, "well, if that's all you want to do then you can start out with such and such which is free and just gives you the basic functionality
you're asking for. There's nothing wrong with that. However, I might then talk about other packages which will offer those same basic features but which might offer some other cool features they hadn't thought of, such as multitrack recording or other effects.
The person might say, "no, no, I don't want any of that, I just want to record my voice and save them as simple sound files." However, someone might say, "Really? That might be something I might want to explore later on." They might want something with extra
features for future exploration but only if it's free or only if it costs no more than such and such. They might resist anything beyond basic recording. However, a consumer might say, "I want to do basic recording for now but what options are available at
a reasonable price if I want to go beyond that?" As you say, context must be attended to. I look at all of those responses the consumer is giving me and, based on all of them, I discuss the most appropriate choices with them. I might recommend options but,
ultimately, I'd like the consumer to make that final choice based not only on their current needs but on their potential needs for future work.

Re: how to record audio from the computer with no mic pluggedin sure could use some help.
David Goldfield
Gene, Why do you have to express your opinion strongly to ensure that your point has been properly made? Don't get me wrong: I have strong opinions about lots of things from software to politics to morality. If someone asks for a recommendation and if I think
that I have something to contribute to the discussion then I put my recommendation out on the table. This is what I like, this is why I like it, here's where you can acquire it and that's all that I need to say about it. I don't feel the need to compete with
other recommendations to ensure that my particular one is somehow considered above the others or so that my recommendation somehow stands out enough to shift someone's opinion. That would actually make my recommendations and responses even more biased and
I wouldn't fully trust someone who did that. I want to be regarded as a trustworthy resource and not as someone who tries to shift someone's opinion from others which have been expressed. What I care about is giving people options. I actually don't care if
an option other than the one that I present is the one that someone might consider. I just don't care. If I know of several options I put them out there and state the pros and cons of each. It doesn't matter to me whether a reader chooses it or rejects it.
Lists such as this one are forums where we can share what we know to empower others. I'm not interested in making dogmatic statements where I tell someone why they shouldn't use a particular piece of software. I want to know what you know. I'm not interested
in knowing why you feel that I shouldn't be using a piece of software because it offers more features than what I'm using. At one point one of my relatives was using Excel for everything. Not only would she use it for its primary purpose for creating and editing
spreadsheets but she would use it to compose documents. She would enlarge one cell and write documents within that cell. Honestly, my wife and I did think it was a bit crazy and I admit I used to snicker and wonder why she insisted on doing it. Admittedly,
when I used to do assistive technology training I would have never trained any of my students to do serious word processing in Excel. That's what Microsoft Word was for. But this relative was set in her ways and somehow got used to using Excel for word processing
even though I'm 99 percent sure that Word was installed on that computer. Hey, it was crazy and not something I'd ever encourage for serious writing. But for her it worked and she was just writing simple documents at home. If I told her that she should use
Word she likely would not have listened. It was what she knew and that was how she intended to write her documents. You wouldn't catch me writing documents in Excel but my point is that somehow she got used to it and, for her, it worked. She was happy and
worked very efficiently doing it this way. She also wasn't my student and so I had to accept it. I honestly wish you weren't so strong with your opinions. Just share what you know with no other agenda than to empower people to make their own choices, rather
than trying to convince them to make the choice that you feel is best for them. .

decide whether using Word for that purpose is the most appropriate choice for
that user. Indeed, I could argue for that user by saying that the additional
features of Word will always be available if or when they decide to branch out
into more complex writing tasks. When that time comes they will already have
learned the basics of Word and can therefore advance by learning how to use
additional features in a program they already know on a basic level. If I choose
to use Goldwave to read text into a microphone then that choice may work best
for me. Perhaps I may discover other features contained within the program that
I wasn't initially planning to use but which may cause me to be curious enough
to experiment. I would personally prefer to learn about sound editing from one
program rather than starting out with simple tasks on a more basic program and
then learning a whole new piece of software when I want to try my hand with more
advanced tasks. That approach may work well for many people and I think it's
important to consider that. I've heard that in mainstream public schools they're
teaching Powerpoint to fourth graders. They don't necessarily start out with a
special program knowing that some kids might only use it for basic tasks. Kids
are learning Office at a young age, starting out with basic tasks but working
their way up to intermediate and advanced features. It's much more practical to
learn all of these tasks on one program rather than forcing them to change over
to another program later on. This is why many blind children start out with JAWS
as their screen reader, rather than being taught NVDA and Narrator. You might
start out by using JAWS to perform basic screen reading tasks. However, if a
student finds that he needs more than the basics he can stay with the same
screen reader and learn more as he needs to or wishes to. David Goldfield, Assistive Technology Specialist WWW.David-Goldfield.Com

hi all,
Does anyone know why this happens? When I read word by word, I can find words where this atribute is anounced.

Re: how to record audio from the computer with no mic pluggedin sure could use some help.
Agreed. I started with gold wave for my sound engineering career, then went to audacity, then sonar,, , then garage band, and now reaper. So I do agree with david 100 percent. Start with a big program such as gw then work your way up to what ever.

Gene, I think that it's important to respect a person's choice of software for what works well for them even if it's not a choice we would make for ourselves. In this case, Goldwave may well be the preferred piece of software for simple recording for some users.
It might not necessarily be the first choice for that task we might think of recommending to someone but people use what works for them and we need to respect that. Someone might choose to use Microsoft Word to jot down and print their shopping list. We might
feel that there are better options for that task. We might be tempted to recommend Jarte or even Notepad for what to us might seem like a simple task. However, if a user wants to use Word for that task then they have every right to do so and it's not for us
to decide whether using Word for that purpose is the most appropriate choice for that user. Indeed, I could argue for that user by saying that the additional features of Word will always be available if or when they decide to branch out into more complex writing

Try using the version I sent this morning. It was developed by a blind user and it is fully accessible and requires no installation. I assume the person went through the trouble to create the portable versions because there were some sort of problems using the installed version.
These versions, of which I hope I have the latest, were developed by Carlos, who ran another list and died about a year ago, which was a significant loss because of his help to the blind computer using community.

Well, I'll bet lots of others are having the same problem but nobody wants to be the first. OK, I'll be that person. The virtual recorder install program didn't create an entry in the start menu or a desk top icon or an icon in the applications bar as mentioned in the readme file. I tried to start it with the command line but that has been changed and I don't know how to access it anymore. When I had it running after the installation I made a test recording but the directory where it said it put the recording doesn't show up in windows explorer. Maybe I should forget it and find another program.
