FYI, with the current pound to dollar conversion rate ratio, it will
probably cost you approximately $52 to purchase these scripts from TandT
Consultancy.

This is a very cool and helpful note I received from Freedom Scientific's
tech support about using Itunes, following up on the information Kelly
provided us with several weeks ago. I apologize if this is a duplication of
something already posted to the list. But I have Itunes and an Ipod and
have been dying to make putting the files on the Ipod something I can do
independently. Hope this helps.

Dear Catherine
Thank you for contacting Freedom Scientific technical Support. View the
below:
Accessible Interface for the iTunes Software
ITunes from Apple is a piece of software which offers music lovers who
either own or do not own one of the Ipod products a vast variety of
features and
facilities which turn the computer into an incredible music management
system.
However unfortunately the ITunes software is probably one of the most
inaccessible pieces of software from a Visually Impaired persons
perspective with
much of the screen activity being unrecognisable by even the most
advanced Screen Readers.
However thanks to the talent and creativity of one of the T&T Team,
Brian Hartgen, the above is no longer the case.
We have developed an interface to the ITunes software which using JAWS
For Windows brings this amazing piece of software to life for Visually
Impaired computer
users.
Through the use of easy to remember keystrokes using the combination of
the ITunes software and the ITunes JAWS interface you can:
List of 9 items
Import individual music tracks, complete CD's, or Audio Books into the
ITunes Library.
Have CD album names and track titles automatically identified and
announced.
Easily transfer music or audio books to either the IPod or IPod
Shuffle. JAWS will automatically announce when the transfer process
begins and ends.
Organise music into "play lists" enabling sequences of tracks to be
played from the computer or IPod.
Have tracks played randomly from the computer. The playback can be
paused or re-started, with the adjustable music volume control being
independent of
the JAWS speech system.
Impress your friends by organising music mixes in a variety of ways
and play them at parties or other family type get togethers. While
"Party Shuffle"
is in progress, JAWS can announce upcoming songs which the computer has
selected to play.
Access other facilities within the ITunes software through easy to
remember key strokes and sequences.
Take advantage of the Help System which groups together keystrokes
according to tasks.
Benefit from documentation to accompany the interface which has been
written in an easy-to-understand manner.

To find out more about the ITunes JAWS interface you can read the
complete documentation by
Activating this link:

How it Works
The JAWS ITunes interface can be purchased at the cost of £30, which is
$45 USC. However prior to parting with your money you may well want to
sample the
scripts to get a feel for what they do and how they make ITunes Visually
Impaired Friendly.
The scripts can be downloaded along with a trial authorisation which
will be automatically installed as part of the installation process.
This permits
the interface to run for 10 minute periods, and for the product to work
again the computer will need to be rebooted.
When downloading please be sure to select the version of the interface
which corresponds to the version of JAWS which is to be used.
Additionally you
will need to ensure you have the latest version of the ITunes software.
Please use this link to obtain iTunes and to find out more information
about it:
http://www.apple.com/itunes/
If after experiencing the ITunes interface you wish to purchase it,
please contact our office during UK office hours Monday to Friday, quote
the version
of JAWS you wish to be authorised, make your credit card payment, then
the permanent authorisation will be sent to you via E-Mail. It's as
simple as that!
From the UK call 08452-303015, while overseas customers should dial
441782-644141.
Technical Support
Given the low cost of this product all technical support will be
provided via E-Mail.
If you need help with any aspect of the interface please E-Mail
[log in to unmask]
and it will be our pleasure to assist.
Updates to the scripts will be available to registered users free of
charge until the end of 2005.
Downloading the Interface
The following link can be used to download the version of the ITunes
Interface relating to the appropriate version of JAWS:
http://www.tandt-consultancy.com/itunesscripts.html
It works with the following Versions of JAWS:
JAWS version 5.0;

JAWS version 6.20.

Hi there,
I am a JAWS user and heard that somewhere out there, there are I-Tunes
scripts. I have an Ipod and would love to be able to use I-Tunes
independently without someone having to help me use I-Tunes. Any help
would
be appreciated. Thanks.
