Hi,

I just posted a new alpha release of the JAWS script. You can download the installer from https://github.com/campg2j003/JAWS-Script-for-Audacity/releases/download/rel2.2.0-alpha-2017-08-18/Jaws-Script-for-Audacity_2_2_0-Alpha-2017-08-18.exe.


The source is on GitHub on the "next" branch. (Go to http://www.github.com/camp2j003/Jaws-Script-for-Audacity, choose "Switch Branches or Tags", the Branches tab, and next.)

Changes in this release:
- In the track panel UpCell and DownCell (Alt+Control+Up/DownArrow) move to the prior/next selected track.
- If SaySelectedText is pressed twice quickly track names are spoken instead of track numbers.

I am interested to know if you like the track names version of selected tracks which speaks the first and last track name for ranges of 3 or more consecutive selected tracks, or if you would prefer that all track names were spoken. Would it be better to replace the - separator with something like the word "through"? I would like to add a similar facility for muted and solo tracks, but further overloading SayJAWSKey+Shift+DownArrow seems clumsy, especially when it is used to choose between numbers and names, but I'm running out of intuitive keys. Any ideas?

Thanks.


Gary
