Chris,
Jaws might be getting in the way here - try preceding your arrow key presses
with Insert+3 (you'll need to use the number row, not the keypad) - this
makes Jaws ignore the next key press.
Best wishes.

Subject: [jawsscripts] Audio Engineer Ear Training Software
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.
