Hi all,

I have just posted a new beta release of the JAWS script for Audacity. This release features installer changes for multi-language support. Currently English and Spanish are supported. Silence Preview has also been updated to support Audacity 2.1.2.

I am particularly interested in feedback from people with non-English JAWS installations, since I don't have access to such an environment.

Please note that although the installer installs and compiles the scripts into the selected language folders, the JAWS script compiler always compiles the script files for the language of the currently-running version of JAWS. Therefore, after installing you will need to run JAWS with each of the other languages and compile the scripts "manually". This is a kind of silly implementation but it's the best I've come up with so far given the way the script ompiler works. I am open to any suggestions!

The script has a new home. The script is now hosted on GitHub. You can download the 2.1.0-beta3 installer here <https://github.com/campg2j003/JAWS-Script-for-Audacity/releases/download/rel2.1.0-beta3/Jaws-Script-for-Audacity_2_1_0_beta3.exe>.

The installer exe for the current "official release" <https://github.com/campg2j003/JAWS-Script-for-Audacity/releases/download/rel2.0.0/Jaws.Script.for.Audacity_2_0_0.exe> is also there (although not the same binary file, it should have been built from the same source and should be functionally equivalent).

You can view the latest README <https://github.com/campg2j003/JAWS-Script-for-Audacity/blob/installer_ml/readme.md>. (This may be newer than the one in the beta 3 release.)

Let me know how it works for you.

Thanks.

Gary
