Scripts are available elsewhere, but I believe GoldWave remains accessible. Through your GW program, you can contact the owner who is very responsive and also well informed about accessibility. I rarely use sound editing software, but when I do, GW still works very well. Win7, JAWS 16/17.

The most accessible sound recording/editing software I believe is Sound Recorder, from the American Printing house. It is a bit expensive, but worth it if you want to do much in the way of detailed editing.

Hi Qubers, .help!
TheQube was downloaded and installed on my Win7, 64 bit, J16 machine. However clicking on the desktop icon or going through all programs and clicking on theQube. Nothing happens. The Qube is seen in the Task Manager but alt tabbing around does not go to any running app/Twitter client. I read through the documentation and executed the steps to open Twitter, sign into my account to get a number generated by Twitter to connect to TheQube. I did this several times but Twitter did not generate a number for theQube that I could find. Have uninstalled and reinstalled the Qube several times and still no luck. Any ideas would be appreciated. Thanks

An interesting thingis happening with Chrome.
The Task Manager shows two processes open for Chrome. The problem is Chrome is not open nor has it been since yesterday. Alt-E to end processes sequence didn't remove Chrome from the Task Manager. Two Chrome process Chrome.exe are still in the list. Has anybody seen this and possibly know what to do? Chrome runs slow when opened and does have interruptions when listening to youtube on my machine.

What doJAWS users use to perform disk copy? I would like text base rather than the drag and drop method. Windows 10 does not seem to have such a utility.

Re: Dectalk Express, response from Emic, synth incompatible with JAWS?
Dennis Clark <dennis@...>
Hello Adrian,
Tech support is correct, that the chip described must be connected to a micro-computer such as the Arduino so that it is equipped to receive and process data from a USB connection, similar to your DEC-Talk unit, which I assume uses a 9 pin serial cable. I have now looked through the documentation they provide for their chip, and I don't see a command for changing the pitch of the chosen voice. I assumed that it had such a command, (and I still think it does), because in one of their demonstrations their chip is singing, which must require pitch changes. I am pasting below all the commands they have listed for the product. I will keep looking. table with 2 columns and 14 rows Emic 2 Command Set Sx Convert text-to-speech: x = message (1023 characters maximum) Dx Play demonstration message: x = 0 (Speaking), 1 (Singing), 2 (Spanish) X Stop playback (while message is playing) Z Pause/un-pause playback (while message is playing) Nx Select voice: x = 0 to 8 Vx Set audio volume (dB): x = -48 to 18 Wx Set speaking rate (words/minute): x = 75 to 600 Lx Select language: x = 0 (US English), 1 (Castilian Spanish), 2 (Latin Spanish) Px Select parser: x = 0 (DECtalk), 1 (Epson) R Revert to default text-to-speech settings C Print current text-to-speech settings I Print version information H Print list of available commands table end Command Details Sx: Convert text-to-speech Convert the text string passed by the host into synthesized speech. The text string is limited to 1023 characters and should terminate on a clause or sentence boundary as indicated by a full stop '.' or comma ',' punctuation mark. If the text is longer than the allowable limit, it will be truncated and may result in unintelligible speech output. Emic 2 expects characters that conform to the ISO-8859-1 Latin character set (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ISO/IEC_8859-1). See the Special Characters section, page 10, for details on entering accents, foreign characters, and symbols. The audio will be output from both the SP+/SP- speaker connection and 1/8" audio jack. The LED will remain RED while the text-to-speech message is being played. Terminal Example: :SHello! My name is Emic 2. Nice to meet you. <audio output> : BS2 Example: ' Send command and the text string to convert to speech SEROUT EMIC_TX, EmicBaud, ["S", "Hello! My name is Emic 2. Nice to meet you.", CR] ' Wait until the command is completed SERIN EMIC_RX, EmicBaud, [WAIT(":")] Dx: Play demonstration message Play one of Emic 2's built-in demonstration messages: 0: English Introduction 1: Singing "Daisy Bell" (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Daisy_Bell) 2: Spanish Introduction Note that each demonstration message is fixed with specific voice, audio volume, speaking rate, language, and parser settings and cannot be modified by the user. All user-configured settings will be saved prior to demonstration playback and restored afterwards.

Emic 2 will respond with a "." indicating that the command has been processed successfully. While the playback is paused, the LED will remain RED. This command is only valid while a message is playing. No carriage return (CR) or linefeed (LF) is required after the command byte is sent. Terminal Example: :D0 <audio output> Z. <playback paused> Z. <audio output> : BS2 Example: SEROUT EMIC_TX, EmicBaud, ["D0", CR] ' Begin playing demonstration message PAUSE 1000 ' Let the message play for a bit SEROUT EMIC_TX, EmicBaud, ["Z"] ' Pause the playback SERIN EMIC_RX, EmicBaud, [WAIT(".")] ' Wait until the command has been processed Nx: Select voice Select the speaking voice: 0: Perfect Paul (Paulo) 1: Huge Harry (Francisco) 2: Beautiful Betty 3: Uppity Ursula 4: Doctor Dennis (Enrique) 5: Kit the Kid 6: Frail Frank 7: Rough Rita 8: Whispering Wendy (Beatriz) Each voice has a different baseline amplitude.

Both will process incoming text strings and generate synthesized speech, but there are differences in control and customization of the resulting output. Each parser's specific functionality is incompatible with the other. Choosing which parser to use ultimately depends on what sort of speech output you desire for a particular text string. See the Sample Text String section, page 11, for examples that use specific features of the Epson and DECtalk parsers. Epson Parser The Epson parser is the default setting upon Emic 2 power-up. It allows on-the-fly, dynamic changes of emphasis, pitch, voice selection, and speaking rate to take place within a text using embedded mark-up control symbols: \/ Decrease pitch /\ Increase pitch << Decrease speaking rateIncrease speaking rate __ Emphasize the next word ## Whisper the next word :-)x Select voice (x = 0-8) (See the "Nx" command, page 6, for corresponding voice names) DECtalk Parser The DECtalk parser is intended for advanced users and allows the finest control and customization of speech output by providing direct access to the internal parameters of the DECtalk 5.0.E1 text-to-speech synthesizer engine. Dynamic customization using the DECtalk parser requires the correct usage of specialized commands and their associated parameters. Incorrect usage of the DECtalk commands may result in improper or unintelligible speech output. Please refer to the Epson/Fonix DECtalk 5.0.E1 User Manual available on the Emic 2 product page (www.grandideastudio.com/portfolio/emic-2-text-to-speech-module/) for full command details and phonetic symbols. Only a subset of the DECtalk commands are supported by the Emic 2 Text-to-Speech Module: [:comma] Set the length of a comma pause (in milliseconds) [:dv] Customize voice parameters (save option not supported) [:mode] Set how text is processed/parsed (no e-mail parsing supported) [:name] Set the current speaking voice (numbers only: 0-8) [:period] Set the length of a period pause (in milliseconds) [:phoneme] Enable phonemic interpretation of subsequent text [:pitch] Modify the pitch of uppercase letters [:pronounce] Set the type of pronunciation for the subsequent word [:punct] Set how punctuation marks are handled [:rate] Set speaking rate [:say] Specify when speaking begins [:skip] Skip a selected part of text pre-processing [:sync] Makes a command synchronous to allow it to be processed before synthesis continues A large archive of songs intended for use with the DECtalk 4.40 or earlier text-to-speech synthesizer engine can be found at www.theflameofhope.co/SONGS.html. Some commands and/or phonemes used in those text strings may need to be modified in order to work properly with the newer DECtalk 5.0.E1 version implemented by Emic 2. Special Characters Emic 2 expects characters that conform to the ISO-8859-1 Latin character set (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ISO/IEC_8859-1). Along with standard alphanumeric characters, the character set also contains accents, symbols, and foreign characters (ranging from 0xA0 to 0xFF) that may not have specific keyboard keys assigned to them. Emic 2 provides an easy method to enter single-byte hexadecimal character codes from any host by using an escape sequence "\xhh" (where hh is two hex digits). For example, to use the letter ñ (n-tilde, which has a hexadecimal value of 0xF1), enter the text "\xF1" within your text string. On the Windows operating system, if the desired character is unavailable on your keyboard, you can insert the character directly by pressing a special key combination: Hold down the ALT key and enter the four digit decimal equivalent of the character in the numeric keypad section of the keyboard. For example, for the letter ñ (n-tilde), press ALT-0241. On the Mac OS X operating system, most of the special character codes in its default MacRoman character set are not compatible with the ISO-8859-1 character set. Thus, if you try to enter special characters directly from a keyboard using OS X, Emic 2 may return an error or speak characters you were not expecting. In this case, it is recommended to use the above-mentioned escape sequence. Other operating systems may also support direct insertion of special characters. Please refer to the specific operating system documentation for details. Sample Text Strings This section contains sample text strings that demonstrate varied variety of speech outputs from the Emic 2 Text-to-Speech Module. To use, first ensure that the correct parser is selected. Then, copy the desired text string and pass it to Emic 2 with the "S" command. Epson Parser All 9 voices in a single text string My Emic has a :-)0 voice :-)1 voice :-)2 voice :-)3 voice:-)4 voice :-)5 voice:-)6 voice :-)7 voice:-)8 voice.
