What do we like for a media player besides Winamp?
Hi, Slight misunderstanding. No, I could never use the playlist editor. I would write out my own playlists. I did try combining them. To use my year folders as an example: years/1970-1979/1970-1979.m3

An unusual but potentially very useful idea about sounds
Hi, I’m sure Gene will correct me if I’m wrong, but my interpretation of Gene’s message is that, although the sounds heard came directly from the computer, NVDA could utilise a similar system whereby

Hi, Applications can get hardware level information, I.E. disk and ram access rates, CPU activity etc. Indeed, there is already a standalone program that plays sounds according to the level of access

iPhone's Siri Male US English voice for use with NVDA?
Hi, Daniel's a UK voice, I'm pretty sure Gerardo specified a US voice. The only US voice that I can think of off the top of my head that wouldn't be in the Vocaliser list is Alex, because he's a voice

iPhone's Siri Male US English voice for use with NVDA?
Hi, Are you sure it's a Vocaliser voice and not one made by Apple? Apple recently started putting their own voices onto iOS, like Alex and so on. Cheers. Damien.

Hi, To be fair, I do tons of automatically scheduled backups to various systems and drives. But were I to do it all manually, the Waves directory in NVDA is one place I would likely forget to back up.

Hi, The reason I say NVDA addons are managed better than JAWS scripts is because NVDA has the addon repository. Admittedly I haven’t visited the JAWS website in some time, but last I checked they didn
