Hello,
I will download these scripts onto a spare computer and see how they change
things. Watch this space.

Hi Steve
You state:
“I still say it’s much easier to do Audible on a cheap tablet or phone.”
You don’t seem to get it! Some audible customers like myself like to
listen to our books on Desk top players with physical buttons, tone control
etc.
don’t forget some blind audible customers don’t possess smart phones
or tablets or get on with finger gestures.
Isn’t it all about what Blind Audible users consider best for
themselves, and employing the best method of listening that suits their needs?
Best wishes
Henry

Hi David,
I think it would be a moot point though, since you can’t activate
specialist players using the app. I thought it was the activation
process that people are holding onto for grim death.
I still say it’s much easier to do Audible on a cheap tablet or phone.
All the best
Steve

I was interested to see that Jaws Scripts for the Windows 10 Audible
app have been developed.
See
http://www.dlee.org/
This may be useful if people are interested in using the Windows 10
Audible app on a laptop, tablet or even Desktop machine.
This of course does not currently include any option to authorise
specialist players.
However after researching on Audible Help pages I see that it is
possible to specify the download folder for your books.
I have also seen discussions that these are the same format files
available with the legacy Audible Download Manager, making it
theoretically possible then to continue to use your specialist player
via Inaudible or I guess Open Audible interface.
I don’t want to disturb my current working Audible arrangements on
Windows
10 but it would perhaps be useful if someone from TAVIP grabbed a
spare machine to install a setup using these scripts to test out
their viability.
