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

[Mhochberg at aol.com]

Hi, Katty!
 
Did you ever get answer to this? I used to make audio tapes of movies just  
so I could really listen the movie. It would be harder nowadays but  something 
I would like to do again.

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-scènes, 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 Katty
