Hi folks.
After unsuccessful attempts with one particular Ear Training
program (Train Your Ears, EQ Edition), I've investigated a couple
more options and have found one to be somewhat accessible.
Note: this is ear training for audio engineers, not musicians
looking to learn how to identify notes and chords.
V-plugs Mr. SoundMan: totaly inaccessible. I managed to get past
the license screen using Jaws 13's convenient OCR, but that's it.
Don't bother with this one.
Harman International, How To Listen: This one looks
promising! Installation went well. Running the program, I was able
to pick a type of drill from a list and start playback.
Once the audio was playing, I was able to find and click on A and B
buttons with the Jaws cursor, as well as read onscreen
instructions. The keyboard shortcuts to play the equalized version
and flat versions of the audio worked. However, I have yet to get
the arrow keys to work properly.
According to the manual, up/down and left/right arrows are used to
hone in on your answer. But pressing these, with screen echo set to
All, I hear nothing from Jaws. If we can figure out a way to get
some feedback when moving the arrows, we just might be in business
with this program! It looks very promising! I need someone with
more Jaws and possibly a little HSC or scripting experience to take
a closer look. It will probably help if you have Jaws 13 for its
convenient OCR.
Here's a link to the How to Listen Website:

If you have trouble downloading the software or pdf manual, I put
the Windows version and PDF in a zip file here:

This might be really cool if we can figure out how to make it work
for us. I have not contacted Harman yet, because I want to know
specifically what to ask for, if anything.
so, anybody want to have a fiddle with this and help out?
Chris
P.S. Another site, www.quiztones.net, just confused me. Apparently
there is a Windows version available, but all I could find were
links to get the Apple app version for portable devices like
Smartphones, and I have no way of testing that here.
