Hello Everyone,

The Station Playlist Studio scripts for Window-Eyes are now available and downloadable from Script Central.  Here is a list of some of the many extensive features found in the scripts:

Direct access to all Station Playlist Studio controls (with very few exceptions) to insure 100 percent accuracy of retrieval of information even when Studio is minimized. 

Direct access to all of Station Playlist Studio's internal settings files (cart files, internal Station Playlist Studio configuration files, etc.) to provide greater flexibility in script development.

Completely flexible with user-configurable keyboard hotkey changes made in Station Playlist Studio. If you change these values on the Keyboard tab of Studio's Options dialog then the scripts will account for these changes the next time Studio starts.

Extensive online context sensitive help throughout the scripts, including Key Describer mode for all Station Playlist Studio keys.

Complete flexibility in hotkey assignments through the use of the Hotkey Manager.

Script updates are available through the use of the Help and Options area of the Script Manager in the Window-Eyes Control Panel as well as through the use of a hotkey.

Direct access to all Status Bar values through the use of hotkeys.

Return to Studio from any other application with the press of a key.

Direct keyboard access to all Elapsed and Remaining time events in the Station Playlist Studio main window including Voice Intros, Voice Tracks, and standard track times. Many of these can also be accessed outside of Studio (globally).

All time values are spoken in more understandable formats than those displayed on screen. Each time is spoken in Minutes and Seconds.

The ability to copy selected tracks to the clipboard in an easy-to-read format for sending to listeners.

Virtualize track information to a window for easy review.

Speech on many Station Playlist Studio keys to provide feedback if keys do not function (their function is disabled) or to hear their current state (mic on/off, line in on/off, automation toggle, etc.).

Cart Learn Mode allows you to determine what carts are assigned to what keys without opening each cart in its corresponding edit window.

Track Voice count down timers are available to allow you to watch a timer while speaking over a track.

Warn when nearing the end of a track. This functionality works in a global state (in and outside of Station Playlist Studio). The timing can be configured through the use of a rich dialog providing slider controls to set the warning values. Either a speech message can be heard or a sound can be played to represent the warning event.

Track Ending Warnings and Voice Track Introduction timers can be monitored in Braille if desired with continually updating values being displayed to the Braille user.

Sound card detection to limit warning sound playback if only one sound card is present.

Slider controls in Station Playlist Studio's Options dialog now report percentages as well as pitch shift values as you move along the slider.

All scripts are open source and free. This allows others to review the work and to submit enhancements to the author for future inclusion in the scripts. 

This is just a high level look at what support for Station Playlist Studio that the scripts provide today.  Much more is expected in the coming weeks for the scripts.

Many of the features contained in these scripts would not have been possible without the direct support of the Station Playlist Studio developers work in making minor changes to the application. A very sincere thanks goes out to Ross and others at Station Playlist for contributing the many hours of time in consulting and development work to make these scripts possible. Again thank you.

It is critical that you read the installation section of the manual prior to loading Station Playlist Studio.  There are some needed prerequisites for the scripts to function.  Version 4.30 of Studio is required.  Consult the manual on further specifics.
