Accessible World

Presenter 1: Walt Kramer (wokwest@charter.net)
Presenter 2: Gene Asner [gsasner@ripco.com]
Tek Talk focused this week on two topics that will enhance usability and accessibility whether you are a beginner, intermediate or advanced computer user. The process of setting volume levels for recording or on-line voice chats can involve several steps. Taken separately, these steps can lengthen the set-up process unreasonably. That's why there's Quickmix. This free program, involves creating customized shortcuts, each of which includes all steps and settings involved in configuring the computer for specific applications.
Walt Kramer will demonstrate Quickmix and show us
(1) How to adjust settings to create a customized Quickmix shortcut,
(2) How to create the Quickmix shortcut itself, and
(3) How to get Quickmix.
Gene Asner will then explain in detail the usual way to create shortcuts to allow fast and convenient opening of programs and drives, as well as alternate ways to do this where the usual method may not work. He will also describe how to create shortcuts to audio streams.
