Good point as Windows sounds are regarded as a software stream as far as Total Recorder is concerned thus the software has an option to "Mute" those sounds and this brings up yet another problem, if the computer is trying to warn you of something then you don't know about that warning if you rely on sound.
As mentioned - if you don't use a Mac <smile> - then the best solution with your Windows PC is to have more than 1 sound device, I know of ways to send speech out one sound card but I don't think you can specify where the Windows sound is output can you? I guess you could use one sound card for "Windows Default" and work from there. On 20/09/2011, at 12:23 AM, Steve Jacobson wrote: > Also keep in mind that screen readers are only part of the problem.
