DAISY recording may come some day, but DAISY playback will come first.

Of course if you never plan on giving us the ability to create daisy then it's a Moot point anyway. Of course when I wrote the note I conveniently forgot I had played MP3 files my only excuse is its early on Monday laugh.

As you know, the BrailleNote already plays MP3, so there's no relationship between any MP3 recording capability we may add in the future and DAISY playback.

You can't have dazy then tell users o yes but make sure your library uses wav they don't all do that. If your other product namely maestro can support this then there is really no reason why HumanWare can't its weather you think being able to read dazy books or record meetings classes conferences is important enough. More and more people are on the move these days and if HumanWare doesn't want to solve this then someone else will. Personally I am getting tired of carrying a dazy a BrailleNote and who knows what els.

It would be great for recording classes, for example, you'd get about 10 times more recording time. And we could probably do a high quality mp3 compression but not in real-time. I can send an example mp3 of some compressed speech if anyone is interested - just email me off list so I can reply directly to you - I'd like to hear if you think the quality is acceptable, and how useful it would be. The lowest quality one sounds much like high-quality synthesized speech to me. But there's still a lot of work to do and it may turn out to be a lower priority than some of the other work we're doing. So don't get too excited yet ... regards, Andy. ---- Andrew Riden Software Development Engineer HumanWare Ltd. 11 Mary Muller Drive, Christchurch, New Zealand.
