for visualy impaired and/or auditive hp-fans: sounds and pc hp-sounding

[Katty Geltmeyer]

Hello folks!

Perhaps this subject is already
discussed in this list?

1: Concerning the pc and restyling it to
a hp-theme: seeing people can use
screenreaders to make their pc hp-like.
But blind pc-users can't. I, e.g. am
using an owl-sound for the e-mail-alert.
I mean, by using outlook express, I
replaced the "dingdong"-sound by the
sound of a scops owl.

Did you do such things with your pc? If
yes: what did you do? Do you have oter
suggestions to make the pc hp-sounding?

2: Although I prefer the hp-books above
the hp-films, I am always listening
carefully to
the soundscapes of the films, and
wishing I could hear them without the
actors voices and music.
E.g.1: during GF-film you can hear many
owl-sounds during the owlery-scnes, and
in this way, you'll get an auditive
image of this room. But as the music is
playing and the actors are talking, you
can't clearly hear and analyse the
owl-sounds.
E.G2: The kittens on the ornate plates
in Umbridge's office are mewing (and
even purring a little).

I suppose, there isn't a possibility to
listen to this soundscapes, used by
making the films? I tried to make some
myself, but they are of bad quality.



Best
