  Another Hour of Music Power. StationPlaylist V5.5

Submitted bybrianhartgenon Mon, 09/28/2020 - 09:00


    A Training Course for Users of JAWS for Windows and StationPlaylist
    V5.5.


    Introduction.

For many years, the StationPlaylist software has been the tool of choice 
through which blind people broadcast their radio shows or even run their 
own stations. We know this because there are hundreds of StationPlaylist 
users on our customer database. If you use the software, are you getting 
the most from it or do you just work with the features you need?

The"Broadcast It" audio tutorial 
<http://mosen.org/broadcast-it-the-definitive-guide-to-stationplaylist-studio-and-jaws-for-windows/>produced 
some time ago teaches a new user how to work with many aspects of 
StationPlaylist Studio (for broadcasting audio), StationPlaylist Creator 
(for managing schedules), and StationPlaylist Streamer (for sending 
output over the internet if external devices are being used). However, 
during the past year or two, the developers of this amazing product 
suite have created new features not described in the tutorial. Over the 
years, it has been supplemented by:

    The StationPlaylist Workshop, and <http://www.hartgen.org/splworkshop>
        Let's Track It. <http://www.hartgen.org/track> 

    This new training course, "Another Hour of Music Power", focuses
    exclusively on the upcoming release of the StationPlaylist product
    suite, version 5.5 with JAWS for Windows.
    This training course is for people who are using any one of the
    StationPlaylist products who want to improve the quality of their
    radio output and station management.

    Hartgen Consultancy are ideally placed to run this training course.
    TheJAWS scripts<http://www.hartgen.org/studio>we have created and
    sell, in our view, provide unparalelled access to many features of
    the StationPlaylist products. We both sell and support the entire
    SPL product range. Finally, our internet radio station,Team-FM,
    <http://www.team-fm.com/>is hosted exclusively using StationPlaylist
    tools and we take advantage of the vast majority of the features on
    offer in that regard.


        What Will I Learn?

    Version 5.5 of the StationPlaylist suite will be released later this
    year. While there are many new features and fixes included, we have
    singled out an unprecedented 18 improvements which we think warrant
    special attention and explanation. Some of those need to be
    explained within the context of accessibility with JAWS, and relate
    to using Creator, Studio and Remote voice-tracking.
    All of the 18 features have been tested and you will hear comments
    on all of them and how best to work with them.


        Who is the Course For?

    This course is suited to anyone who is familiar with many of the
    functions of StationPlaylist Studio and Creator if appropriate,
    together with voice-tracking locally or remotely, and who would like
    to build on existing skills. You should be familiar with how your
    screen-reader functions together with Windows concepts, such as how
    to navigate around applications.
    You will also hear about a new range of JAWS-based tools being
    developed for learning about music, including chart facts, record
    release dates and so on.


        If I Purchase the Course, What Will I Receive?

    The course will be hosted using the Zoom conferencing platform and
    will take place as soon as possible after the release date of the
    new product versions in order that you can begin taking advantage of
    the new improvements. We expect this to be in November 2020.
    Purchasers of the training course will be advised of the precise date.


        Costing.

    The cost of the course is £35 which is currently $44. The training
    session is expected to be within the region of 90 minutes to 2 hours
    duration.
    If you cannot make the live training session, no problem. You can
    easily access the recording afterwards from a secure area of our
    company website. However attending the live session does mean you
    can ask questions about the topics covered or other aspects of
    StationPlaylist.
