Hello Chris,
This Is Kristen.
Welcome To the BRAILLENOTE And BRAILLENOTE Family!
What Version of KEYSOFT Do You Have?!?
As Far As I know Keysoft 8.0 is the only version that currently
Can open / Unzip the BOOKSHARE Books.
I have that one.
and I use BOOKSHARE.
And I use the Books with the .bks2 extension, not the .zip
extension,
because if you use the books with the .bks2 extension,
the BRAILLENOTE / VOICENOTE doesn't switch to eloquence,
it keeps speaking the KEY-NOTE-GOLD voice ... which is my
preference!
But if you use the books with the .zip extension,
It switches to eloquence and * even * if * your default speech is
set *TO KEY-NOTE-GOLD*:
you * won't * be * able * to switch * to it * until your out * of
the * BOOK-READER.
At least ... that has been my experience with Keysoft.
mind * these BRAILLENOTES * and VOICENOTES * seem to be as
different as two people who use them!
so, in some cases * the experiences * one user * will have with
them will * differ * greatly *:
so, * greatly * that one * might begin to wonder if * their even
the same * product family.
Keep in mind this is just what I've experienced,
and observed over the last 8/10 years, as a BRAILLENOTE, and now
a VOICENOTE user.
Starting in 9th/10th grade with a BRAILLENOTE Classic,
and about 3 / 3 and-a-half years ago a VOICENOTE MPOWER USER!
And as an off and on participant on this list.
I started with Keysoft 5.1; then went to 2.7; then to 5.0;
and now am using A:
VOICENOTE MPOWER BT KEYSOFT 8.0 Build 20!
I * Love * It!
I Hope You Enjoy The list!
And I Hope you love your unit!
Looking Forward to getting to know you more on the list as we
make our BRAILLENOTE/VOICENOTE Journey's!
May GOD BLESS You, And Give You HIS PEACE!
Sincerely, In Our LORD AND SAVIOR JESUS CHRIST, And OUR BLESSED

Subject: [Braillenote] Bookshare books
Hello everyone:
I am new to the list but have already gained some useful
information. I've
noticed that the Braille Note Apex no longer supports unpacking
Bookshare
books. I assume this is because of the fact that Bookshare now
uses
password-protected ZIP files; I was able to open a Bookshare book
once it
had been unzipped. All the same, I think it would be useful if
the device
could handle these files without the user having to unzip them on
a PC. Is
that in the works? Or, am I doing something wrong? I tried simply
opening a
zipped Bookshare book with the Book Reader utility. Thanks in
advance for
any suggestions.
Chris
