Just to say that when you start Plextalk it is best to turn numloc on. Then
you can use the number pad to go up and down levels with 2 and 8 and rewind
and forward wind with 4 and 6. The other keys do other things which I can't
recall offhand, but there is a little manual in the Plextalk help somewhere,
and the commands aren't very many. Space pauses and plays, and escape shuts
the player down.
I have been in the streaming service since it started, and I must say I like
it very much. You can also play your talking book CD's with it, which I am
having to do at present as my player has gone in for repair.

Subject: [jaws-uk] jaws and RNIB book stream book club
HI all. I have recently joined the RNIB Book Stream club. Generally I find
the site quite accessible but I do have some questions. One is definitely
JAWS related. the other one is less so though I would require any solution
to work with JAWS.
Firstly, the bookstream club lets you stream RNIB digital talkingbooks to
your PC. Once you join (for a fee of £50 per year) you download the
Plextalk Player which plays books. Ideally it seems to me you want to run
this without a screenreader running. This is not stated anywhere but with
JAWS version 8 running you do not get any audio while winding back. with
JAWS 9 running however I find a load of numbers get read off in the form 20
db 30 db 40 db and the general chatter makes using the plextalk player
unusable with JAWS. I can set screen echo to none and every so often I hear
a beep until eventually after about 20 minutes or so JAWS finally crashes.
Has anyone else had this problem?
My second question I will send separately as this one has gone on long
enough!!!
Cheers
Grahamso
