Dean must've written something else. Sorry. Jerry, what's a TSM? ----- Original Message ----- From: "G.W.

Freedom Scientific made this TSN on it http://www.freedomscientific.com/fs_support/BulletinView.cfm?QC=1035 The scripts are packaged in Jaws 7.1, so you don't need the scripts with that version. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Yardbird" <yardbird@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx> To: <jfw@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Thursday, October 26, 2006 11:58 AM Subject: Re: audible.com Ralph, What you've heard is basically correct. The download software is called Audible manager, and although each new update of it has presented accessibility problems with Jaws, scripts exist to make it usable. Someone named Dean Schmidt wrote good scripts for the current version of Audible Manager and provided the download link and instructions. Although I have the scripts myself, I can't remember exactly which they are or where to download them anymore. I think Dean has a Web site. Anyone know? Second, you can play the program files either on your computer using Audible Manager (or Windows Media Player, I think), and there are a number of regular .mp3 players that are Audible compatible, but you have to check the ones that are listed on the Audible site. That's not hard to find, that information. But there's also the question of which of those players are acceptably useable without being able to see their controls and screens. You can probably get recommendations from people on this list who are Audible customer. I happen to use two different players, the Sandisk Sansa M230 (a number of Sandisk Sansa models will work just as well) and the Creative MuVo Nomad. Again, you can find the entire list of compatible players on the Audible site (you could even look for that list now). Also, there's a blind audible customers mailing list on Yahoo Groups that would be perfect to help you get going. You'll get all the support you could ask for, there. You could subscribe to it now and ask some questions, and see how that feels. Let me see if I can find the subscription address: Here's the email subscribe address: BlindAudibleListeners-subscribe@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx And here's the URL at Yahoo Groups, where you can look at other stuff and also subscribe there, instead, if you prefer:to http://groups.yahoo.com/group/BlindAudibleListeners hope this helps. If you ask on that list about Audible Manager and the scripts, you'll get what you need immediately. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Ralph Supernaw" <rsupernaw@xxxxxxxxxx> To: <jfw@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Thursday, October 26, 2006 10:40 AM Subject: audible.com Hi, I am looking into audible.com. It is my understanding that they have software you use to download books. After download you can use normal MP3 software to listen to the books. Is the download software compatible with Jaws?
