  6. The "Say Bottom Line of Window" command in JAWS is used to read the bottom line of the active window. In most cases, this bottom line is the status bar. The status bar often contains important information, such as the current page number in a document, the position of the cursor, or other status messages that are not always spoken automatically.

    To use this command, press: INSERT+PAGE DOWN on a desktop keyboard or CAPS LOCK+SHIFT+N on a laptop.

  11. Hey guys. Curious what methods on Windows y’all are using for this. Let’s say I have a huge library of sound effects on a drive… what are y’all using to sort through everything easily, search by keywords, preview sounds quickly, and still do all the normal copy/paste and file management stuff?

    I know about REAPER’s Media Explorer, but I honestly haven’t used it in a long time. Just wondering what else is out there these days, especially anything accessible and fast to navigate.

  21. Mudpie 0.1.2 is out.

    PLAY_SOUND and LOOP_SOUND trigger and alias actions now take a typed sound path (world: / global: / asset: prefix) instead of opening a picker. The hint and accessibility label lead with the format guidance.

    MSP-downloaded sound files now land in your regular sounds folder under the type subfolder the server specified, instead of a hidden cache. Reachable from triggers and scripts as world:type/file.

  26. Mudpie 0.1.1 is out. Bug-fix release.

    Cmd+W now closes whichever window is in front, instead of always closing the active session tab. If you had the Worlds, Triggers, or any edit dialog window in front and pressed Cmd+W, it used to silently close one of your session tabs in the background. Now it does what every other Mac app does.

  36. Today's tip comes from Mervin Keck in Hamburg, Pennsylvania.
    Don't love the default Google TTS on Android? You have options right in the Play Store.
    In the paid category, Eloquence and Vocalizer are both reasonably priced and worth a look. Just search their names in the Play Store to find them.
    For a free option, try TG Speechbox. It isn't the most natural-sounding synth, but it is very responsive — more so than Google TTS.

  41. Ever wonder what window or application is currently active? Both JAWS and NVDA use the same shortcut: Insert + T. Your screen reader will announce the title of the active window. If you're using NVDA, press it twice to have it spelled out, or three times to copy it to your clipboard.
    Useful when you have several windows open and need a quick check on where you are.
