Subject: [audacity4blind] Jaws Script for Audacity V2.2.0-alpha-2017-08-15
released
Hi,
(Oops! forgot to update the subject line!) 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-2017-08-15/Jaws-Script-for-Audacity_2_2_0-Alpha-2017-08-15.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:
- Fixed implementation of JAWSKey+a&p&{s l e c} so that the Audacity interface
is updated. Previously the combo box was updated but Audacity didn't realize
it.
- Pressing SaySelectedText (JAWSKey+Shift+DownArrow) while in the main window
says the numbers of the selected tracks.
- Implemented the ability to calculate the tempo in BPM of audio.
The tempo feature is similar to that of Robert's NVDA add-on, but the algorithm
is a bit simpler. To use it:
- Locate the audio of interest.
- Press JAWSKey+a&t&SPACE (JAWSKey+a followed by t followed by the spacebar).
Audacity starts playing.
- Press ENTER to mark each beat.
- Then press SPACE to stop playing. The tempo is spoken.
You can repeat this announcement by pressing a and copy it to the clipboard by
pressing c. The value is remembered until SPACE is pressed again. Note that
this is implemented using the JAWS key layer feature, so if you hit another key
not in the Tempo layer, you will have to type
JAWSKey+a&t& before these keys will work again. The default algorithm
divides the average of the time between the first "tap" and the last by the
number of taps minus 1.
There is a commented out implementation that more closely follows Robert's
algorithm but it only works with JAWS 11 or later. After 9 taps, it looks at
the last 8 taps and replaces the one with the time that differs most from the
average of the 8 taps. To use it, make the following changes in audacity.jss:
(You can do this by going to Audacity and pressing JAWSKey+0 (on the typing
row). The Script Manager opens.)
- Back up your copy of audacity.jss.
- Search for "JAWS 11" and locate a section bracketed by /* and */.
- Place a semicolon (;) before the lines that contain /* and */. This
uncomments the enclosed section while still retaining the section markers.
- Search for "JAWS 11" again and do the same for the section that contains
scripts TempoStartStop, TempoTap, and function TempoAddTime.
- Remove the semicolons from the /* and */ lines containing the JAWS 10 version
that follow them.
- On the version line (line 7) add the letter "t" just before the final quote
(so we know it's been modified).
- Recompile the script (in Script Manager press CTRL+s).
I found it hard to get accurate results with either algorithm. Let me know how
it works for you.
Thanks.
Gary
