How to transfer mp3 audiobooks to iPhone using Jaws and iTunes on Windows

Hello,
you just need to send an email to usspeech@robobraille.org with the docx document you want to convert to audio. In a few minutes you will receive the mp3 file link in your email.

1st transfer them as you would with music. I am sure this procedure must be well documented elsewhere.
Then, in iTunes view your music by artist.
Scroll through until you find the audio book. If you have a large collection you can use "search" to help find it.
Press application key when the audio book is selected. arrow down to "get info", there is a shortcut key for this, ctrl+i.
iTunes will ask if you are sure you want to edit all items. Press enter on "Edit Items".
Next tab until you get to "Options" and press enter.
Now tab until you get to "Media Kind".
Under media kind you have a dropdown selection.
Press enter then arrow down and select Audio Book.
Tab again to "remember Playback Position" and make sure this is also ticked.
Now tab to "OK" and hit enter.
The mp3s associated with the audio book will now disappear from your music library and be moved to” Audio Books" within "Books".
Now you can choose to have audio books synched to your iPhone and when completed they should show up in iBooks on your iPhone.
Also note that in the iBooks app there is a button to choose what type of books it shows you. This needs to be either "Audio Books" or all.

Connect your device to a Windows PC that has iTunes on it.

Using Windows Explorer, in your Music folder on the PC, there will be a folder entitled ""Automatically Add to iTunes".

copy your MP3 files there or a folder of MP3 files and they will be automatically transferred to your iOS device.

Note: If you move the files to this folder they disappear. so I if you want to retain a copy on your Windows PC copy the files rather than moving them.

I migrated my iPhone 6 to IOS9 a few days ago, and I created a 4-digit numeric passcode so that I could link a credit card to my ApplePay account. When I unlocked my phone this morning, I received the message saying that my passcode must be changed within one hour. I have previously not used a passcode on my iPhones, since I had no financial information loaded - until now. One problem I had as a totally-blind user was that the voice-over prompting was VERY POOR in that it did not clearly indicate what I was expected to enter at any given point. After knocking around on the phone in an attempt to set an acceptable passcode, I finally gave up in frustration and turned off the darned passcode function. Of course, I saw the warnings saying that my credit-card info would be removed if I continued; but I was so annoyed by the need to change a passcode which was only a few days old that I decided I wanted to kill the passcode system until I can get a lot more information on ALL the requirements for the iPhone passcodes. During setup, I tried to enter my fingerprint, but I could not get it accepted. Knowing how "flaky" a fingerprint ID for me is, I certainly wouldn't want to depend on it to unlock my phone. (When I was fingerprinted for my job, the operator had trouble getting prints of high-enough quality for their electronic system, so I knew I couldn't depend on that system). So what is the "scoop" on the iPhone 6 passcode requirements under IOS9?
