JAWS Scripts for the SPL Track Tool Have Been Released

At Team-FM, we are very pleased to be able to bring you full keyboard access to the stationPlaylist Track Tool using JAWS for Windows scripts.

The purpose of the Track Tool is to quickly establish intro times and/or cue and segue positions of individual songs by listening to them, or by scanning the files with volume settings. It may also be used to view basic track information such as Artist, Title, Album and CD Code in columns which may be sorted. 

In addition to providing enhanced reading of the tracks as you move through them with the Up and Down Arrow keys, an optional sound will play if an intro to a song has been marked and is detected.

The following keyboard shortcuts, (many of which were already built into the program), are available. Please press Insert+H to get a list of shortcuts, however they are provided here for convenience.
