moderated JAWS and phone in the same input

Ann Byrne
 

Still looking for a way for someone to hear/speak into the phone and also listen to JAWS at the same time. Will Plantronics do this, does anyone know?

thanks
Rick Mladek
 

Plantronics does offer a duel channel headphone where you can listen to jaws
on one side and the individual on the phone, on the other. I do have this
exact headset and it works excellently.

Which model is this?

Is this over Bluetooth with a VOIP phone that is run through the computer?

I came in late on this, so sorry if that was already covered but I didn't find the previous conversation.

Link below will take you to one whom is selling this product.

Be sure to notice the point where you will need to purchase an extra usb connector/adaptor if needed.

Is there a way to trick it so that JAWS and the phone come out of the same ear? It's stereo, right? If I plug in a monaural adaptor would that make both ears the same? Does the headset have a mike that talks to the phone???

Here is the problem: we don't know what the final situation will be. He is looking for a job in customer service. He needs to be able to demonstrate that he can do the job with ... something. No vision and one ear is hard to sell, unless of course he can point to a configured device and show how it will work, perhaps with any system.
Tim Ford
 

Hi All,

I know this is a low-tech solution, but it is easy and cheap. Use a pair of
earbuds for JAWS, and put the phone headset on over that. Works like a
charm. If you find JAWS is too prominent, just take out one of the earbuds.

The concern is the caller being able to hear jaws when they communicate with
this individual. If this is the result when both speak on the same side,
then the employer surely will have a problem with this. The only other
option would be braille display for the individual when still being able to
hear the caller undisturbed.

We have put together a mixer which hears both JAWS and the phone, allowing a person to speak to the phone without hearing JAWS at all. it works beautifully with a lap top computer on battery. when we plug in the computer, though, the whole thing looses its perspective. You can make a phone call, but the guy on the receiving end can't hear it. I have no idea why plugging in destroys the stinkin' mix, but it sure as the world does. If he could just use a lap top on battery, that would work.

Could be interference? I'd say try with another machine if you have one, in
case the audio input and power connectors are two close, or some other
shielding issue.

So far it happens on two machines, the lap top and the desktop. I don't know how to shield it. Would a toroid help?

Okay. So not an issue with your computer. Interesting. Without knowing more
about your setup I think I'd just be guessing at this point. But it's fairly
safe to say nothing you're actually doing is doing it.

As suggested earlyier use the standard headset provided by the company with a earbud under it. The guy will hear the customer and jaws and the customer will only hear the guy not jaws. You will need a usb earbud and direct jaws to send audio to it and that is it.

Be sure your using a duel channel device. If you can hear both, this is
good. However, you also need be sure you are connected properly to the audio
port, as well. And, as previously mentioned, that the settings are all
correct with microphone.

When you say that the mix changes when you plug in the computer to AC power tells me that this may have something to do with the power profile settings of the laptop. Sometimes, I have heard that things get reconfigured to save power when on battery power to save energy.
