 Yes, you can change the playback speed as said above. Also, while
recording, you can press the F3 function button, and it will place a
bookmark for use silently.  When power off and on again, the playback speed
stays the same.

RE: Question about LS-14 digital recorder

[JOHN RIEHL]

Hi, Andy. I appreciate the help. What I actually want to do is record a meeting 
then go through it and take minutes. It's not feasible to do this by 
manipulating a file on a computer. I have used other Olympus digital recorders 
that  do let you vary the speed of the recording using the recording.

Hi John.

Like another member suggested yesterday, most of these recorders record a file 
for you and that's all.

What you do with that file is up to you.

You may wish to make it quieter, slower, faster , louder or add some thing like 
a small echo or you may simply wish to maximise all the tracks to be the same 
volume, etc.


You achieve these things by using something like Goldwave.

I do this kind of stuff all the time and as recently as Friday night of last 
week I recorded a 45 singer choir onto such a recorder and came home with my 
digital recording.


But then the technical work really started

I had to load it into Goldwave and make some of the improvements that I listed 
above.

I ended up with a high quality recording that you simply cannot get on a stand 
alone hand-held digital recorder.
Once on the computer I was also able to burn my work onto a CD for the group, 
which is to be used in a television advertisement.

I could not do this without some experience of digital editing on a computer.

So if this is what you want to do, then that is the way to do it.

Hope this helps.

Andy.

There are three types of resets.

The first, and simplest, is to hold down the Power or On/Off button on the 
stream, with the 
stream off. Hold it down for about fifteen or twenty seconds. This will 
result in the Stream beeping twice, as if it is starting twice. This is 
exactly what it is doing. The second time it starts, it will have reset.

The second way to reset the Stream is, with the stream off, hold down the 
Bookmark key, the number five key, and with these two buttons held down, 
press and hold the On/Off or Power button on the Stream until the Stream 
comes on. This is called a Profile Reset. This will result in the loss of 
all bookmarks in any books you are reading.

The third type of reset is the most drastic. It is called a Factory reset, 
and will result in all keys for BARD, Learning Ally, etc. being removed from 
your Stream. In this reset, with the Stream off, press and hold down the 
number two, six and eight keys until the stream comes on. The Stream will 
come on, and you will have a menu from which to choose. You will press the 
number two key until it says Factory reset. This is the most drastic of the 
three types of resets.

I couldn't agree more with John's note. I haven't been laptop shopping in a
long time. The laptops I have seen, definitely including the latest MacBook,
are horrible in terms of their keyboards. Keys run together. Little key
travel. Absence up to alt and to control keys. No spacing across function
keys, unless you have the MacBook Pro which has that stupid Touch Bar. I
don't know what's out there for PC. But I sure wouldn't buy any laptop
unless I could lay hands on it first. There's just too many bad ones out
there that are a pain to use. All in the name of shrinking size and

RE: Victor Reader Stream 2nd Generation

I have the Victor Stream 2nd gen; this is my third. For what I use it for -- 
reading books -- it's great! I can create .mp3 files of books using K1000 or 
download talking books or audible books. I don't use the wireless feature. You 
can connect an external speaker using a patch cord; it works great! I use the 
In-motion speaker; I have my Victor connected to it. I also use headphones or 
the little internal speaker. It isn't perfect; I'd love for it to have 
Bluetooth. But I'm quite happy with my Stream.

phone. Now the quality thing. Could thhis be cause it's for DAISY books 
for the most part? But I'm not sure about that cause Plextalk is better. 
The PTP1 sounded better to me when I saw them at the NFB national 
convention in 2013. I was also shocked that the PTP1 aka the Plextalk 
pocket looks so much like it's a mini PTR1. But then to get back to the 
topic at hand well at the time at least the streem 1 was such a 
prediction of the Strattus players. How does the Streem do connected to 
an external speaker though? To me the headphone pres of the strattus and 
the Clasic ain't that good.They too are meh. Exeptable I suppose but meh

If you want small and convenient, there are too recent releases:

The DM-720 which is focused on voice recordings, with quite a few features
and not bad sound; and

The Ls-P2 which is nearly as small as the 720 and 520 and 620 but supports
96/24 and has 90 degrees XY mics plus the central Tri-mic for bass. 

Both support setting time and date independently.

The LS-p2 is not fantastic as a quality field recorder, with some boom eq
issues around mid bass, but for its size and the Voice Guidance, its worth
looking at. I haven't done much testing with external mics, but suspect it
will be pretty good in that regard.

If you knew the DM-7, then this is similar format and better quality.

Sadly it only has one bass roll off level, that is too aggressive for my
tastes.

If you have to choose between the DM-720 and the LS-P2, the 720 is quite a
nice note-taking device, and substantially less expensive than the LS-P2

Another benefit of the LS-P2 is that it supports output to Bluetooth
speakers and headphones, but the implementation is not very good - for
example it only seems to pair with one device at a time, and I couldn't get
it working with my Air Pods.

The New Even Over-Ear Headphones Will Blow Your Mind Without Blowing Your
Ears
Technology - The Huffington Post  /  Morena Duwe



"Why aren't headphones, or personal audio for that matter, actually
personal? Why aren't they more like prescription glasses, where each and
every person gets her or his own custom sound-fit based on a hearing
profile?" This is what Danny Aronson asked himself when his good friend Ofer
Raz asked him to recommend a good pair of headphones three years ago.
Realizing he could not name a pair of headphones that he felt were worthy of
his close friend's ears, he decided to create his own.

As a classically trained composer and sound designer, Aronson has dedicated
20 years of his life to the art of sound. He plays the flute, piano and
guitar and has a degree in music composition from the University of Tel
Aviv. Aronson studied score-writing as well as avant-garde and modern music
which guided him towards his career in sound design where he led Israel's
largest audio post-production facility. As is the natural progression of
human anatomy, our senses tend to weaken with age. With a profession in
music, Aronson refused to let his hearing become an impairment.

Even headphones are a one-of-a-kind, personal sonic experience. Their slick
design, ergonomic fit, and walnut wood ear pieces make each pair unique,
just as each person's hearing is unique. The entire audio industry has been
based upon the assumption that "one sound fits all," as stated by Aronson.
"We know that this assumption is simply untrue," he explains in an
interview. "Just like eyesight or any other physical attribute, people each
hear differently and our left ear hears differently from the right."

Even's core crew consists of Danny Aronson (CEO), Ofer Raz (CTO), Mosi
Shuchman (VP of Operations), Ronen Hillel (head of sound design), Pam Kramer
(consumer marketing), Christian Riley (CMO), Kevin Leong (chief
manufacturer) as well as a team of software, firmware, sound and acoustic
engineers. They have been working on these headphones for two and a half
years and launched their first batch of earbuds in June of 2016 which sold
out within 48 hours. Their newest creation, the H1 over-ear pair, launched
October 19th.



Before you use these headphones, you must first tailor them to your ears
through a 90 second test administered by a mysterious woman named "Sarah."
After plugging in your headphones, you press the Even button and Sarah tests
your reactions to a series of frequencies ranging from 125hz (very low bass)
to 14KHZ (very high) and several pitches in between. The result is a
perfectly balanced and customized listening experience where the headphones
are actually tuned into the exact frequencies that your ears hear. "The
first time I heard music with my own EarPrint, the experience took me back
30 years," reflects Aronson. "It was an emotional, moving moment for me. I
was blown away."

The benefits of Even EarPrint technology include a uniquely rich and
detailed sound that compensates for frequencies you may have lost over time
or have always had issues with, creating a feeling of surround-sound - the
sense of being engulfed by the music.

The technology behind the unique EarPrint sound is based on a complex
algorithm that was perfected over the span of two years and developed by
professional music mastering engineers, sound designers and software
engineers. The sensation these headphones produce is clean lows, thick mids
and crisp highs. "Imagine, for example, that you don't hear 8KHZ frequencies
in your right ear as well as you do in your left. What do you do?" Aronson
asks. "You crank up the volume, affecting all frequencies, in both ears.
This can really muddy the sound. Once you hear music set to your unique
EarPrint, you simply hear what you've been missing. People often turn down
the volume!"

The concept of EarPrint technology is also ideal for musicians, producers
and DJs who are frequently exposed to loud music. It provides a safe haven
for their ears as well as a clear differentiation between frequencies for a
better understanding of sound. The better one hears, the better music one
can create. Those who rely on their ears for their careers will especially
appreciate these headphones.

Living in a busy city where noise never sleeps, my headphones are a sonic
oasis. At any time, when my mind becomes overwhelmed with sirens, screams
and helicopters, I can plug in my headphones and hang out with The Beatles,
David Bowie and David Tipper, letting all the noise around me just melt away
like candle-wax. Those personal moments of truly listening

Subject: Radio: Sangean PRD4W is truly a bargain

Thought you had to pay a premium price for a good performing radio 
right? Wrong! the Sangean PRD4W is the biggest performance bang in AM/FM 
Weather Disaster radios I've encountered for under $100, this set sells 
for $70 in the U.S.

So what can one expect from the PRD4W? Spectacular AM and FM 
performance, with weather band.

The AM performance comes extremely close to the legendary CC 2E radio, 
there's very little difference between them when it comes to selectivity 
and sensitivity on the AM and FM bands.

Its at this point that the Sangean PRDw truly begins to shine with its 
range of 6 settings of band filter for the AM band, set the filter to 
the widest and enjoy near FM quality sound on your local AM stations or 
lower the filter settings to home in on those weaker stations you love.

The PRD4W has a "Signal tracking" feature, tune the radio to a station 
and listen as the radio adjusts itself for the best signal reception 
possible of that station.

The radio has two FM and two AM bands, you could for example set the 
presets - 5 - on one AM band for distant stations whilst setting the 
presets on the other AM band - again 5 - for local stations.

The radio doesn't have a tone control however you can effectively use 
the band width filter on AM to accomplish the same thing.

Build is rugged out of hard ABS plastic.

RE: The Best $150 Over-Ear Headphones | The Wirecutter

[JOHN RIEHL]

I have been buying and using the MDR-7506 headphones for years; they are a fine 
choice. The ear cups on the older models did not hold up well but that's not 
true of the newer versions. One good thing about the sony MDR-7506 headphones 
is that they have a heavy-duty cord (it's one of those spiral cords); the 
drawback is that the cord is somewhat heavy and makes the headphones feel a bit 
heavier. Also, they can get uncomfortable after 5-6 hours of continuous use. 
But I agree with the model; they are a really good headphone choice for a very 
reasonable price. Trust me; I've tried a lot of headphones.

RE: So the new iPhone 7 has been announced

Actually, there's a difference between "whining" and legitimate complaints 
about a feature that one values that is now lost. If I were gaining something 
substantial by losing the headphone jack I'd feel better about it, but I'm 
losing a substantial capability -- the ability to use headphones and charge my 
phone at the same time. As I said, I take train trips lasting several hours and 
listen to books, etc, while charging my phone.

Whilst I don’t travel on planes I do have a hearing impairment -a profound one 
at that - thus I believe I’m in a position to comment as I have done.
There are ways around the charging problem  as you put it, I’ve seen cases 
already that have one or two additional lightning dock connectors.
As far as listening on a plan goes? Well my hearing instruments I reckon would 
be up to the job not that I’ve had absolute personal experience in this area 
given its a bit risky flying on planes with my particular hearing condition but 
that’s bye the bye and not of particular interest to this list.
I think the main problem here is that a lot of folks would rather just whine 
about it all.

back. So you won't make friends if listening in a public place.
Comparison between these and the 701 was generally favorable, with
people prefering the k712 headband and material the ear cups are padded
with. There is a substancial price difference, $350 versus $179 if
memory serves. That's on the U.S. Amazon site. I'd love to try these,

RE: dm620

[john riehl]

I have the DM-620. The sound quality is pretty good. The case is a sheath
that you slip the recorder into; it does not have a belt clip and it doesn't
have a flap you can open. I like the sound quality with the Dm-620, but the
design of the controls is much worse, in my opinion, than on the Dm-520. The
record, play and sop controls are on the front facing panel, not on the side
as on the Dm-520. Also, you have to remember to press the 620's Record
button twice to get a recording.
In my view, Olympus's design of its recorders has gone way down hill; if you
want to make a recording on the go and pause, particularly while holding the
recorder, the Dm-620 is inferior to the Dm-520. 
Hope this helps.

Hi all,
I'm thinking of huying a dm620. My dm520 still works, but it's so compact
and small, with fairly good sound I'd like another one. I have a dm7, which
has good sound, but it's huge and I'm thinking of selling it, along with my
ls100 which I'd never used yet.
Anyway, how does the 620 compare with the 520?
Thanks,
Steph

Hi!

there are two lists you might wish to subscribe to to have your question

There’s a blind-ham list which might be able to help and the vi-android list

RE: Zoom H6 Handy Recorder with Interchangeable Microphone System H6

[john riehl]

I agree 100% with you on the Olympus models. I have several; they substantially 
changed the way the Olympus recorders are laid out after the Dm-520. Poor 
ergonomic design and keyboard layout for the 620; don’t have a DM-7.

I always though the issue of pausing with the Zoom H1 to be people making a 
mountain out of a molehill, I got round this by remember two things that the 
Zoom H1 did.

Firstly when recording, if you pressed the “Record” button again the recorder 
would effectively pause if you like, meaning the recorder would go into 
“Standby” mode awaiting a further button press so therefore if you pressed the 
“Record” button again the recording would resume though to a new file, not a 
big deal in my opinion given one could easily deal with multiple files in a 
Sound editor, I do have a computer do I not? .

The other way of handling the problem is to insert marks into the file 
therefore defining sections, this can be done by pressing the “Play” button at 
the appropriate time where you wish to insert a mark, you might insert a mark 
at the beginning of each paragraph you’re reading aloud or when the sound of a 
door opening happens etc.

The marks are recognised by Audio Editing software such as Sound Forge and 
Amadeus Pro.

Yep, I like the Olympus Recorders but I do feel that the speech is a bit of a 
conflict, I appreciate the efforts Olympus have made by including the speech 
but in some ways its a little unintuitive given that it can take a little while 
to find what you want in the menu system, set up the actions to perform and so 
on.

Regardless of that I do appreciate that the speech system may make a difference 
to some people and my only advice to Olympus is to cut down on those features 
that are just add-ons for want of a better description, things like Daisy 
playback and so forth, stop worrying about those things and concentrate on the 
accessibility of the recorders themselves.

I love the DM4 though not very in love with the DM7 for some reason though I’m 
in no doubt that it too is a damn good product, I think its the way the DM7 
does things that has me a little annoyed with it.

 Yeah, I don't think the Zoom H6 goes up to 192KHZ sampling frequency, 
 interesting as the Zoom H1 does however the H1 only supports 2 channel

Great news re Total Recorder

[john riehl]

A few days ago I sent an e-mail to High Criteria, the makers of Total
Recorder, outlining the problem I and others are having that Total Recorder
does not close. They promptly got back to me and asked me to send them my
total recorder log and which screen reader I'm using. I said the problem was
with JAWS and Windoweyes. This morning they sent me a message saying they
were  able to reproduce the problem and it would be fixed in the next
release, which "will come out in the next few weeks". 

Thought you all would like to know. 

Thanks.

another goldwave question

[john riehl]

I want to reduce the amount of time Goldwave rewinds or moves forward when I
use the left and right arrow keys. I tried  reading the manual and it talks
about adjusting the "sound window" left or right, but the numbers in the
"View" menu don't translate in my head to seconds. 

I want Goldwave to move ahead or back five seconds or so when I press the
right or left arrow keys, respectively.

Thanks for the help, as always.

John,

You don't change the wind forward or back values if you want to jump back or
forward 5 seconds, in case you are not aware of their location, press f11
and in the play tab which is where you land, tab can't remember how many but
certainly more than six, you should see a rewind which I think by default is
set at 2 the forward wind is set as 1 - meaning by pressing f5 or j, you
rewind at twice playing speed, by pressing f6 or l, you wind forward at
playing speed.  Of course, these values are edit boxes and you can change
them, I have mine set to 5, the maximum.

To change how much the arrows / markers move, you need change the zoom rate.
By default on opening the file, the whole is on the screen - least I believe
this to be true though how a file of, say, seven hours can be shown I cannot
guess.

I've opened a file of 25 minutes, my view is one minutes' worth of file, by
moving my start marker once it starting at 0.000, it now shows 0.600, again,
shows 1.200, then 1.800 . . . the end marker moves back the same ratio.

I change the zoom rate to show ten seconds, the markers move correspondingly
less, starting at 0.000 one move with shift and right arrow the start now
shows 0.100, then 0.200 . . . the arrow keys move the cursor back/forward in
tenths of the zoom rate, I strongly suggest you envoke the scrub facility,
about which I wrote at some length a few days ago - this is an edit box to
the right of the two wind values and by default is set at 0.000 I have mine
set at 0.150 which gives me enough sound for each movement of arrow / marker
to aid with both finding my place and editting.

I note nobody in their replies have mentioned this incredibly useful
function, I cannot understand why it is not set on by default with, say
0.200 but it isn't.  I played with values for a long time until I settled on
0.150 as being my favoured setting.

Greetings,

In answer to what version of GW John has, he replied:

5.07.

John, did you **really** mean

5.07.

or

5.70?

5.70 is the last version which will work for WindowsXP systems, 5.07 is a
very early version of GW V5, it works with windowsXP and windowsME but not
with any other windows system.

also 5.07 does not have all the access facilities introduced from 5.25
onwards.

If you are **really** using 5.07, this is probably why auto-scroll-lock
behaves differently.

Further answer to a question, the new GW scripts **only** work with systems
**after** WindowsXP they are created for GW V6.anything, only a 64-bit
program is now available hence the scripts are set up accordingly.

Instead of trying to use regions why don't you just select the portion
of sound - say from beginning to end of track - and save the selection

That way the procedure will work whatever editor you use whether that be
Sound Forge, Goldwave, Amadeus Pro, Total Recorder or anything else.

Using GoldWave, highlight the audio you are wishing to create to its own

Cut it to clipboard using Control+X.
Now use the keystroke Control+P and this will place that audio you currently
just copied to clipboard, into its own new file.

Hi, colin. This is what I want to do. I have a long file that contains
someone chanting Bible portions in Hebrew; the person breaks down the pieces
into sections which different people are supposed to read. What I want to do
is, for example, have a file for Genesis chapt 1 v1-6, another file for
Genesis 1 v6-15, etc, so I can send separate files to each person, rather
than one huge file and let them figure out where their particular part
comes. I don't want to create separate tracks of a single file; I want to
mark sections of a long file and put each section into a separate file that
I can send out.

Greetings,

If you want to save parts of a file but not the whole as individual items,
select each area in tern, by marking start and end with start and end
markers, then in the file menu there is a save selection as, give it a name
and save.  If you require to save the whole file as tracks, such as if
you've a concert and would like to save each item as a track, this is when
the cue-markers become useful.

In this case, you ensure first you are at the start of the  file, once you
begin to work with cue-markers, you cannot make any changes to the file, so
ensure first, all edits Etc. are finished and the original file saved.
also, be aware it is always wisest to work with files uncompressed, i.e when
still in their .wav (or other) formats, not .mp3  or other compressed types.
The more processing a file has undergone, i.e compresion and de-compression,
the more sound degredation will occur and once quality has been lost, it
cannot be retrieved.

So, having made sure the file is as you want it, go to it's start and insert
the first cue-mark, control with q.  Now go on through the file, stopping
where the next cue-mark is to be placed, I always first make sure by placing
a start marker i.e left bracket then ensuring cursor is at start marker by
pressing my home key, then issue control with q.  Continue until you've
reached the start for the last track and issue the control with q.

Now, you are ready to split the file into it's items.

In the edit menu, go to the cue-markers function which I think is open menu
and cursor up to the sub-menu, arrow right into the submenu and down to the
split file.  Note, you can change cue-markers as there is a list of the ones
you have set but I strongly advise keeping it simple for now, go to the
split file within the menu.  I cannot remember the tabs here, think they are
self-explanatory, eventually you will find a save button, enter on this and
ensuring you save into a location you want, allow it to work.

You should end up with a set of tracks, what their names will be depends on
how you process these tabs, but I tend to make then save as Track nnn (the
first being 001) into a folder set aside for such matters.

Then (I use Winamp) play the folder ensuring you have saved what you
intended

RE: Goldwave question

[john riehl]

Colin, this is great advice.  Would you be willing to answer a few other
Goldwave questions I have that the manual doesn't make clear? If so, can you
send me your e-mail address so I don't clutter up the list with our
exchanges?

The other thing I want to do with Goldwave is to take excerpts from a long,
long file and put it into smaller, different files. As you can tell from my
questions, I'm a neophyte to digital audio manipulation, so, although to
many the Goldwave manual is crystal clear, to me it's not.

Thanks for your help already and for any additional help.

Greetings,

First of all, have you enabled the scrub feature for this is not enabled by
default?

To set this, press f11 you are now in the play properties sheet.

Tab past the settings for winding back and forward, you are then in an edit
box which, by default, has the value 0.000, I changed this to 0.150 which
means whenever I move an arrow or marker, I play fifteen hundreths of a
second's worth of sound.  This makes editting much much much faster but
there is a definite nack to using in this way. 

Assuming you have set your zoom rate to something sensible, such as one
second's worth of sound on the screen (shift with the number 2 on the qwerty
keyboard achieves this) movement of arrow / markers will give you an easy
way to place the left or right markers exactly where you need them.

Now, to find where you want the edit.

If you know roughly where it begins, say at 5:25 into the file, using the
shift e enter the time in the start marker position press enter.

Now play the file which if you have your play set will start from the start
marker, when you reach the actual place, press left bracket the marker is
then set.

If you need to move it slightly, you can do so using shift and left-right
arrow, you will hear sound as you move the arrow i.e marker.  When happy,
attend in much the same way for the end marker, you can play, or jump
through the file until you reach the place where the edit is to end, press
right bracket, i.e the second key to the right of the letter p, and then
fine tune by using the control-shift and left-right arrow.

I have my three play cuttons set as follows:

Play1 (f2) set to play all

Play 2 (f3) set to play selection

Play 3 (f4) set to play view

therefore, to play what is between the markers, play2 to play what is on the
screen play 3,  to play file from start play 1.

If happy, press delete, piece gone, play 2 should give silence.

Remember control z can undo either to your system maximum, or until you
reach last saved file, or until you reach the amount set.  I have mine set
to fifteen I suspect the maximum varies but on my system it is twenty.

Remember, for each undo, you are left with markers set as at execution of
the function you are reversing.

Hope these are of help, currently, I am still using V5.70 on a Windows7
desktop upstairs and a WindowsXp Home laptop downstairs but I have been
using GoldWave for the last eight years, ever since V5.12.

Got to the beginning of the file, you can use ctrol-home or press the to

 From here type shift-l, which sets the beginning of the selection.

Navigate to the end of the portion you wish to cut out of the file and 
press shift-r which sents the end of the selection.

Press the delete key and the selection will be erased.

Urgent Help needed to uninstall Windows Media Player

[john riehl]

Hi, everyone. I'm in a real fix and need some help.

I use Total Recorder to record all or parts of audio I'm playing, then save
the recordings to files for later use. I recorded part of a file  a couple
of weeks ago and it played back fine. Last week I installed Windows Media
player, and now total Recorder doesn't work at all - that is, none of the
files I record play back, either through Total Recorder or through Windows
Media Player, which has taken over as my default media player. (I used to
use Real Audio Player). 

My first question: what's going on with Total Recorder? Why do files I
record no longer work? Second, how do I uninstall Windows Media player,
since that's the only variable that's changed?

I need help pretty quickly; I need to learn part of a religious service
that's coming up in a couple of days.

 Dave, I use the Sirius XM App on my iPhone, and it works well.  You can
 find
 a podcast regarding how to set up the App, by going to applevis.com.  As
 far
 as using the computer goes, I do not know of any other way to use the
 Sirius
 XM on-line service other than the flash player.  I agree that saying that
 it's accessible would be a stretch.

Does anyone know of any accessible alternatives to the flash player
 that
 you must use for Sirius satellite radio on the internet.  It can be used
 in
 a hit or miss way with Jaws and Nvda but I would hardly call it

 Any information would be appreciated.

RE: copying audio cd's onto a computer

[john riehl]

Steve, rather than tying up the list, can you e-mai me off-list?

These are unfinished CD's; I don't remember seeing a copy option when I
hit the context key. I want to copy all of the files from the CDs onto my
computer. 

  Thanks for all of your suggestions.

John,

Strictly speaking, even though you have audio files on the CD, it is likely
a data CD since it is holding many MP3 files.  An
audio CD has a fairly prescribed format and you can only get about 75
minutes, give or take a few, on a CD.  Normally you can
treat a data CD as you would treat an external file.

Are you trying to copy selected files, or do you want to copy the whole CD?
If you are saying the disk was not finalized, I'm
not certain what the best approach would be.  When you put the CD in, can
you look at the files with Windows Explorer?  If you
can, try pressing the applications key, the one that brings up the context
menu, and check to see what options there are.  can
you play the files on your computer?  I am just trying to determine what
functionality is being affected by the disk not being
finalized.  The next time you have a sighted person there, try to determine
if the problem is that you cannot select files to be
copied, or if the problem is with pasting it.  Still, if you can select a
file and press ENTER to play it, then selecting the file
and seeing what the Applications key choices are might be helpful.  I have
seen situations where there was a copy option in the
Application Key menu that worked when CONTROL-C did not work, for example,
although that is very rare.  As you may know from the
GW Micro lists, I am also a Window-Eyes user.

Best regards,

Steve Jacobson

John,

First, you need to determine if the old radio shows are stored as MP3 or
other audio file types, or if the CD is an audio CD.  If
they are stored as MP3 files or files in some other format, then you should
be able to cut and paste them and knowing exactly what
you did and what happened would be helpful.  If the CD contains MP3 files,
than there would be many hours of programming on a
single CD.

If each CD contains only an hour or a little more of programming, then the
CD is probably an Audio CD and you will need to rip
the cd to your computer.  Even Windows Media Player can do that but there
is
other software as well.

Best regards,

It just occurred to me after reading your other message that unless it's the

disks.  I put one of these in
my current drive from another drive where I didn't finalize and it wouldn't
play or read.  In my case, it was a movie and the software to read the disk
couldn't possibly be the same.

Do any of them allow setting of bookmarks?

file is started, for example, with the dm620, if you pause and start up
again. I know you could do stuff with audio editing software. But I'm
not interested in that. I want to do what you use to be able to do with
a cassette recorder, i.e. hit the pause button while making a
recording, and hit it again or hit a different key to start up the

The answer you got is not correct.
First, the DM-620 does not use the center button to activate the voice

A friend sentme these instructions:

Now, from playing around based on what the manual said re your question, you

hit the middle of the top three buttons to get into the menus, and look for 
the display and sound menu.  Hit the round button in the middle of the

in there.  You, from what I can tell, can't do it on the fly as with the

Changing the order of songs in an i-tunes playlist

[John Riehl]

It's easy.
You have to do it on your computer. Get into I-tunes and into your playlist.
To change the order, move the cursor to the song you want to move. Cut it to
the clipboard with control-X. Then move it to where you want it to be in the
playlist and hit control-C. It will now be in the same position as the song
your cursor was on when you copied the song you cut to your clipboard. 

I don't know how to do that with Roadshow.

Hi people,

It's that time again, and I thought I would post the below link for those
who want to find out how to access March Madness games, both video and audio
streams.  Seems the audio streams are free, but there's a $3.99 charge for
video stream access for all 67 NCAA tournament games.  Lots of apps
available for smart phones as well.  Check it out at

RE: Questions on Olympus DM-4

[John Riehl]

I agree with you re setting the clock. 
As far as erasing a file: get into the file and play it for a few seconds
then erase it. I've never had a problem with the Olympus erasing the wrong
file when I do it that way.

I purchased this unit a while back and, even after finding a couple
tutorials and the manual, questions and issues abound.  As an example,
File Erase Mode doesn't seem to correlate with the time stamps of the
files played.  In other words, it erases whatever file it damnb well
wants; you can arrow down to a file labeled Jan. 2, then go to Erase Mode,
erase the file, and you may have zapped one from Jan. 6.

Feel free to write privately; just don't tell me it's simply a matter of
practice, as I've delved into it thoroughly and really am starting to
blame Olympus for selling this beastie as accessible.  We won't even talk
about setting the clock!

RE: update on multi track recorder with speech guidance

[John Riehl]

I have the LS-7 and like it. I don't use it for recording music; I'm not a 
musician, but I have used it to make audio recordings. The audio quality is 
excellent, especially if you turn ON the central microphone. The LS-7 is about 
the same size as the  DM-series of Olympus recorders, and it has three mics -- 
two that angle out to either side of the recorder and one in the middle. 
It does have some weaknesses. I don't like the button placement. Unlike other 
Olympus recorders, the buttons are on the top, not the sides, so, if you put it 
in a case, you can push the buttons by mistake. 
Second, you have to push the Record button twice -- once to put it in pause 
mode and a second time to actually start recording. In a noisy room, it's often 
hard for me to hear the beeps that indicate I've pushed it a second time or 
whether it's gone into Pause mode. 
Third is the case. The previous Olympus recorders I have owned had a nice case 
with a kickstandstand  on the back that let you position the recorder 
upright. This recorder has a cheap case, kind of like a glov, you put the 
recorder into. I hate it. In fact, I'm using one of my old cases for my LS-7.
It does have full voice guidance -- except for getting System information (how 
much memory you have left, etc) and a couple of other menu items that don't 
read.

That's my thumbnail review.

 Here are the details on this Olympus LS-100, although there is no mention 
 here of speech output:

 Olympus has announced the latest addition to its popular LS series of digital 
 recorders with the addition of the LS-100 linear PCM audio recorder. Aimed at 
 musicians and audio enthusiasts, it comes with a combination of professional 
 interconnects, high quality sound recording, multitracking and extra features 
 in a convenient pocket size.
 Olympus LS-100 Audio Recorder
 It’s an impressive little device with a matching list of features
 - two internal 90-degree directional stereo condenser microphones with a 
 frequency response of 20 Hz to 20,000 Hz and capable of capturing sound 
 pressure levels up to 140 dB (which is about as loud as you’d really want to 
 get).
 - uncompressed 24 bit/96 kHz Linear PCM digital recording saved to the 
 internal 4GB memory or on SD (up to 2GB) / SDHC (up to 32GB) / SDXC (up to 
 64GB) cards.
 - separate audio and system circuitry to keep the signal clean.
 - low cut filter at either 100 Hz or 300 Hz to eliminate low frequency 
 background noise.
 - two quarter-inch XLR / standard phone combo jacks, supporting phantom power 
 at 48/24 volts to power high-quality external microphones.
 - 8 track multitracking, with independent volume and pan control.
 - tuner and metronome.
 - Lissajous measurement which shows the phase difference betweenthe left and 
 right mics.
 - direct CD mastering.
 - 2″ LCD screen and all-metal body.
 “The Olympus LS series has been a favourite of musicians, artists and music 
 lovers, and the LS-100 is an evolution in this series designed with the 
 working musician, specifically, in mind,” said Amy Leslie, Sr.
 Marketing  Business Development Manager, Olympus Imaging America Inc.
 “For songwriting sessions, band rehearsals, live performances, broadcasting, 
 or really anything that requires the highest quality of audio recording, the 
 LS-100 is an ideal, all-encompassing recording solution.”
 Nevermind all that, it just looks cool. Full details on the LS-100 are here 
 and it will be available from all good stores in February 2012 for $399.

 Hello I want to know these speakers you are describing are they the best 
 on the market that are accessible to us or is there sonie ones and 
 creative labs ones as well I am just trying to find out everyone's opinion

 on here about speakers before purchasing them.

 Okay, as I remember here's what's in the Altec Lansing Expressions Ultra 
 Box apart from mounds of packing which is absolute proof that us humans 
 are descended from apessmile.

 2 satellite 2-way speakers
 1 Sub-Woofer
 1 control panel
 1 3.5MM-3.5MM jack lead
 1 manual
 1 3.5MM socket to 2 RCA jack adapter

 To the control panel, its round and consists of a number of controls.

 As you'll see it looks like a mini witches hat, the hat itself turns in 
 either direction, you'll hear or feel it click as you turn it, each time 
 it clicks the faster the control.

 For example by default the knob controls the volume, turn it to the first

 click clockwise and the volume increases slowly, turn to the next click 
 and volume increase is more rapid and so on.

 On the top of the controller are 3 buttons, 2 which are big and a middle 
 button which is small.

 The upper of the 2 big buttons is your treble, press once and then turn 
 the knob to adjust treble.

 The lower button is your bass, press once and then turn knob to adjust 
 base.

 The smaller button in the middle is your power button, press once to 
 turn power on and press again to turn power off.

 This button has another default, if held down for 3 seconds the speakers 
 are reset to their default volume, bass and treble settings.

 Now their could be more options and settings I don't know about, I 
 mentioned that the manual isn't the readable type so everything I've 
 mentioned here I've found out by playing around with the system.

 paranoid. There is a little piece that looks like a splitter for input 
 but
 it is odd that it doesn't connect to a male piece. Do you need an extra
 corde like the one that goes from the control to the pc to go from the
 splitter to the controller? Also I am not finding the power button on 
 the
 sub woofer itself.

 Now on another aspect of this speaker system, I found a page on the Net

 I'll

Would appreciate any help you can lend.
Ok, I am blind and now recording  cassettes to my PC using Audacity. I
bought the Grace cassette to PC device and now learning how to use it. My
major problem for now is that after copying a file over and saving it as
an MP3 file, it plays back very quiet barely enough to hear it. How do I
set Audacity to give me the same sound on each recording? Is there a
certain setting or what? I do not know what half of these words or
settings even mean. Is there a simple way of increasing the sound while
or before recording?
 
I have many of my own stories recorded on tape and read by my wife and
they are ok on the tape but very low on the playback in my media player.
I use the JAWS speech program to get around and it does ok for my basic
use.
Is there a button or a menu that I can go to in order to increase the
volume before recording or while recording or just before saving the
file?
Any help out there?
Thanks

I have done comparative listening tests and I can hear a definite

 I've purchased both the Olympus Ls-7 and the DM-620 and want to post a
 brief
 comparison and review of the two recorders.
 The short version: I'm going to return the DM-620 to amazon.
 Although both recorders have three mics, the Ls-7 has better mics -- the
 two
 side mics stick out more than the DM-620 mics. there is no comparison re
 the
 quality of voice recordings; the LS-7 gives a much richer, life-like bass
 sound to recordings, even when recording in MP# mode.
 The DM-620 does not have a pre-record mode, which buffers two seconds 
 of
 recording; the LS-7 has this mode.
 The DM-620 also does not have a 100HZ or 300HZ low-cut filter; you can
 either turn the low cut filter on or off on the DM-620.
 The LS-7 has a 100HZ and 300HZ low cut filter choice.
 both recorders have the same button configuration, which, in my opinion,
 is
 inferior to the Dm-420 or Dm-520. the record,/pause and stop buttons are
 on
 the front face of both recorders

I don't know which one you should buy, but I certainly wouldn't go for the 
ls7 for the 96/24 sampling rate.What are you going to record that you 
believe requires such a high sampling rate, especially since you'll usually 
have to downsample to 44.1/16 anyway? And are you planning to spend hundreds

or thousands on microphones and pre-amps so you'll actually notice the 
difference? I don't mean to sound harsh or sarcastic, but I don't see the 
necessity of going to 96/24 with what is essentially a consumer recorder. 
Even Neal Ewers in his podcast says he rarely uses those high rates.

Subject: RE: comparison between the LS-7 and DM-620


I thought as much. The DM-620 sounded to me like a glorified DM-2 when I
 first read about it. So, at the time I said no,
 I'l stick to trying for the DM-4 thanks. But then along comes the LS-7 and
 makes me think again. It's cheaper then the DM-4, it sounds better, and it
 can record in full LPCM 96000KHZ at 24 bit. That's blue-ray audio. I don't
 know. We'll see, but I think I'll get this one instead. I mean, the catchy
 things about the DM-4 are the text to speech, speech recognition, and the
 DAISY player. But, it can only record in DVD quality namely 48000KHZ at 16
 bit. As much as I like the 3 above mentioned things about the DM-4, I'm
 really thinking about the LS-7. What do you guys think. Which should I go
 for in your opinion?

 Subject: comparison between the LS-7 and DM-620

 I've purchased both the Olympus Ls-7 and the DM-620 and want to post a 
 brief
 comparison and review of the two recorders.
 The short version: I'm going to return the DM-620 to amazon.
 Although both recorders have three mics, the Ls-7 has better mics -- the 
 two
 side mics stick out more than the DM-620 mics. there is no comparison re 
 the
 quality of voice recordings; the LS-7 gives a much richer, life-like bass
 sound to recordings, even when recording in MP# mode.
 The DM-620 does not have a pre-record mode, which buffers two seconds of
 recording; the LS-7 has this mode.
 The DM-620 also does not have a 100HZ or 300HZ low-cut filter; you can
 either turn the low cut filter on or off on the DM-620.
 The LS-7 has a 100HZ and 300HZ low cut filter choice.
 both recorders have the same button configuration, which, in my opinion, 
 is
 inferior to the Dm-420 or Dm-520. the record,/pause and stop buttons are 
 on
 the front face of both recorders, not on the side as they are on the 
 DM-520.
 The case on both recorders is terrible; it is really a sleeve. It does not
 have a flap that opens and closes, nor does it have the kickstand 
 feature
 like the dM-520 case.

 Both recorders have the same level of voice guidance; 95% of the menu
 choices talk. Neither recorder gives you system memory info, nor can you 
 set
 the clock by voice as far as I know.
 But all of the record, lay, file, etc, selections speak on both recorders.


 In short, if you are looking for an excellent digital recorder, spend a 
 few
 more bucks and get the LS-7. You won't be sorry.

RE: comparison between the LS-7 and DM-620

[John Riehl]

That's a difficult question. I have not used the Zoom recorder, so I can't
comment on it.

As to which is better, the DM-520 or the Ls-7: 
In my opinion, the button configuration and the case are better with the
DM-520. The audio quality on the dm-520 is unquestionably good. 
The case, with its kickstand and flap that you can open, is far superior to
the sleeve case for the LS-7. 

The sound quality on the LS-7 is better -- fuller, even more life-like.
There is a variable low-cut filter that, if you set it to 100Hz, does cut
down on wind noise if you're making outside recordings. 
The central mic does improve the sound quality. And you can put up to a 32GB
SDHC card in the LS-7.

It's a tough call. If you've been happy with the Dm-5, I'd go with that --
although, at least a couple of days ago, the LS-7 was cheaper on amazon.
It all depends on what your wife plans to use the recorder for.
Ironically, the crappy case on the LS-7 is a major drawback; there is no
belt clip or kickstand, and you can't fold down the top flap while keeping
the recorder in its case. 

Hope this helps.

Hi John
Thanks for this comparison.
I have a couple of questions.
I already have a DM5 and wish to buy another for my wife. However things 
have obviously moved on - would you say that the LS7 is better than the DM5?

If so, in which ways?
I like to record interviews and for this use my DM5 and probably more often 
the Zoom H1. Would you think that LS7 has better features than them for this

purpose?
Thanks.

RE: which Olympus recorder is the best to handle? Re: comparison betweenthe LS-7 and DM-620

Subject: which Olympus recorder is the best to handle? Re: comparison
betweenthe LS-7 and DM-620

I wonder which of the Olympus recorders is easiest to hold in the hand and 
has the least amount of handling noise and wind noise.  I have a DM5 20 and 
cannot get anywhere near the kind of recordings Neil gets with his. I get so

much handling noise when I'm holding it. And, so much wind noise.  Even the 
slightest breeze makes a loud noise. the smallest twitch of my hand gets 
picked up by the internal microphones.  I really would like a handheld 
recorder that records as well as my DM5 20 but has better handling and wind 
noise isolation.

I wouldn't mind the recording button being on the front.  Sometimes I don't 
like pushing the buttons on the side of the recorder when it's in the palm 
of my hand.  It be nice to have my thumb land on the record button.  Instead

of having to stretch a finger or thumb up on the side of the machine.

I find I do a lot of recording taking voice notes and just yakking away 
since I got the dm520 recorder.  But, the handling and wind noise are 
probably gonna make it very difficult to do speech to text transcription 
with Dragon NaturallySpeaking.  I haven't gotten around to trying DNS out 
yet on my recordings.  I hope it works okay.  Still getting my computer 
sorted out before I can do this.
In the meantime, looking for a better recorder,

Bob

I can't even find a phone number I can use to call Yahoo.  anybody got a clue

am unable to access the volume up and volume down 
controls in Yahoo's player, even though these controls are visible and 
accessible by a sighted person using the mouse. This is 
extremely frustrating. I'm using the latest version of windoweyes with windows 
XP Sp-2.Can anybody give me any tips re accessing the 
volume so I can listen to ncaa sports? 
I am also trying to change my default to realplayer as opposed to windows media 
player. Even though I've changed this in Media 
Helper, Yahoo always seems to default back to windows media player.  
Thanks for the help!!  John
