I have Net Plextalk on my machine. FS Reader is by far preferable.

Ian and Kevin,

I'm certainly beginning to wonder if there is an underlying issue - it might
also be something to do with my PC set up but I've checked the volume
settings and it seems OK to me.  When I play the audio files individually,
they work OK in Windows Media Player - they just don't want to play in FS
Reader for some bizarre reason.

From the depths of my memory, I think there used to be problems with various DAISY softwares clashing so I might investigate what else is installed that
might be fighting with FS Reader for control of the audio files.

I've tried calling Denis at Sight & Sound but he couldn't think of anything
specific to try.

Somewhat perplexed,

Jamie

Maybe worth contacting the Support department of the supplier who sold
Jaws to you and/or FS direct. Just a thought.

Cheers,

Kevin

having
this problem. Both FS and RNIB Daisy books are playing as they should.

Hi Ian,

I saw that but there is no audio being played on my system - just Jaws
speaking the text as I scroll down through it!  It's just not behaving
like
a DAISY title at all on my system, just a text reading facility at the
moment.

The audio files are physically present in the appropriate folder but they
just don't appear to be linking to the FS Reader programme and playing
when
I load the various books.

If I load an audio only DAISY title, again there's no audio output.

Using Jaws 11 (most recent build), Windows XP Home and FS Reader 2.0.

Jamie

Ctrl+p is the play/pause keystroke and ctrl+s is stop.

Hi there,

Previously I've not bothered to try to use FS Reader but would now like
to
use it more because it claims that, for Jaws 11 onwards, it can play
other
DAISY books beyond the Jaws training materials.

I've been trying to use it and can only list the text of full text DAISY
titles but can't get any of the audio, either from the Jaws training
materials or from other DAISY books.

Has anyone any magic tips on how to get FS Reader to speak the recorded
audio?  There doesn't even appear to be any controls in the programme
for
controlling the volume and so on.

Perhaps my understanding of what FS Reader is supposed to do is
completely
wrong but I had thought it was supposed to be a fully functioning DAISY
player for Jaws 11 onwards.

Any thoughts?

Jamie
