[audacity4blind] JAWS scriptset installer for, was: Audacity 3.3.2

I did get a new installer working for the scriptset. Finally!

It doesn't have the fixes to alt plus left and right bracket in it yet, but it 
does have the update to make the recording and playback levels announce when in 
the track view. I think Gary fixed that back in January.

Just an FYI, I've tested the installer with JAWS 2023, Windows 10, and Audacity 
3.3.2.

Feel free to write me off list for the installer I made. I can plop it into 
Google Drive where you can get at it. Warning that it might have issues. I've 
not tested the uninstall process yet. You'll need to use at your own risk.

Cheers,
David

Yah, you’ll have to be patient for Gary to fix the scriptset. He’s a 
busy Grandpa.



I’ve fixed the scripts for myself but I’m having trouble building an 
installer to share.



If you want, I could send anyone the new JAWS JSS file for you to 
compile yourselves. It’s not hard, just tedious.



Cheers,

David

Most puzzling.  Given that Angelo reported the same issue, I wonder if 
something wacky is going on with some keyboards/computers.  Portia, 
did the brackets work as they should for you in earlier versions?

LOL! That is exactly what is weird. I press space twice after pressing 
right bracket, and it plays the whole recording.

Portia, the confusing aspect is that, after pressing right bracket, 
playing continues.  Pressing spacebar twice will stop playing and then 
play just the selection.  But if you press arrow keys you will clear 
the selection.  That is why I am such a big fan of the Store Cursor 
Position and Cursor to Stored Position options from the Select Menu.  
Keys have not been assigned by default, but it is well worth doing so.

Hello there Andrew,

When I last tried, the whole recording just kept playing, no matter 
what I tried.



Portia.

Portia, it is working as advertised here with NVDA.  What happens when 
you follow these steps?

1.    Start playing some audio
2.    Press left bracket (the audio will continue playing)
3.    As the audio continues to play, press right bracket (the audio will
continue playing)
4.    Press spacebar to stop playing
5.    Press spacebar to start playing.

Just the audio between the points where you pressed left and right 
bracket should play, as it is selected.

Do you get a different result?





Andrew

I think there is an issue, cause the left bracket and right bracket 
keys don't work for selection, either, and I'm using NVDA, default 
Audacity prefs.



You do get the dialog asking where to set the selection when stopped, 
but when playing or paused? No selection is set.

Hi Angelo,

as Andrew has already suggested, the jaws script keystrokes alt + 
left

bracket and alt + right bracket do not work with the latest versions

of Audacity. The selection toolbar has been changed, and the Jaws

script would have to be updated for this change.

I can't reproduce any problems using the left bracket and right

bracket keys when playing.



David.

The alt [, and alt] keys are Jaws script keys.



Using the [ and] keys when playing nothing get selected.



When stopped they work as expected.

Hi Angelo



You said the left and right brackets “are not really working”.  In

what

situation(s) are they not working?  When not playing, pressing left

or right brackets (the two keys to the right of p) a dialog with a

string of numbers should appear.  When playing they should set the

beginning and end of selection respectively but nothing will be

reported by the screen reader.



Re alt+left and right brackets, they are not default Audacity keys.

Well I upgraded to Audacity 3.3.2, and when I try editing the [, 
and]

keys they are not really working, and alt+ [, and alt + ] doesn’t

work at all.



Are there some settings I need to change?



Thanks for any assistance you can provide.
