Subject: [Braillenote] RE: Braillenote Digest, Vol 2918, Issue 1
Hi all,
Does anyone have a good means of describing how to seamlessly (as
much as possible) utilize KeyBase files with MS Excel? I would
like to create spreadsheets in both programs and also use the BN
during class, which then would need to be transferred to the
Excel file for updating and printing. I've not been successful
in printing KeyBase files either.
Thanks for sharing your knowledge on the BrailleNote!
Byron

Hi,
Happy New Year to you all; hope you have wonderful life in 2012.
Continuing from last Friday's report on test between TeamTalk and
Conversation Station users, I'd like to present a short survey on
which chat service to use and what method should we usin for
conducting future BrailleNote Chat series. To fill out the
survey, please answer each question below and give your thoughts
on each choice. To submit it, please send an email to
[email protected] with your responses:
1. Chat service: A number of people said TeamTalk would be a
good chat service to use; however, some say that there are people
who'd like to join the chat but doesn't own a computer apart from
BrailleNote family of products. Thus, a proposal for using a
phone chat service in conjunction with TeamTalk has been
proposed, with tests conducted on Friday with mixed results.
Should we: use both TeamTalk and Conversation Station, TeamTalk
only, Conversation Station only or other audio chat services such
as Skype? When answering, consider the following conditions:
participation by international users, recording facilities for
archival purposes, considerations for those who might not have a
computer and overall logistics.
2. Chat conduct methods: Some say that a live, realtime chat
(where people can add their thoughts while others are speaking,
as using TeamTalk) adds more connected atmosphere, while others
suggest that people take turns asking and answering via audio (in
case of Talking Communities).
Should we have: realtime chats such as via Skype or TeamTalk or
controlled chats (where one person at a time would speak using a
dedicated audio key) such as Talking Communities?
3. Dedicated group just for BrailleNote Chats: at one point
during last week's test, a participant suggested creating a
dedicated user group just for BrailleNote chats. Some say it
could be useful for organizing chats by other users, while others
noted that it could add to confusion and it "defeats" the overall
purpose of audio chat series.
Should we: create a separate user group for things just related
to BrailleNote Chats? If so, what should its name be, its list
topics and other issues.
And any additional comments you may have. I and other test
participants would be grateful if the users on this forum posts
their thoughts on these matters. Your comments will be used as
guidelines for improving future BrailleNote Chats. Looking
forward to your responses. Thanks for your considerations.
Sincerely,
Joseph

Hi folks,
The following note may seem interesting to some of you
(especially musicians):
Intro: MIDI (Musical Instrument Digital Interface) allows a
computer to play sounds based on machine rules produced by some
sequencer. This means that one can record some performance on an
electronic instrument and save it in machine form (not wave
format).
Apparently a lister wrote to me in private that BrailleNote can
play MIDI files (usual extensions being either midi or mid). He
says he found a mid file that plays on the BrailleNote and asked
if I can test it. Here's the result:
* BrailleNote does list mid files as a media file.
* The information on this mid file does not say that its a
machine audio file - it simply says "mid" when the file info was
obtained.
* When attempting to play this mid (and other mid's that I have),
it gave me the following error: "cannot open (path). `erify that
the path exists."
To test this feature, click the following link to download a mid
piece:
http://images2.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20080702202315/uncyclopedia
/images/f/f9/Pp13.mid
You might want to copy this URL using block commands, as it spans
two lines. Download it to your BrailleNote, then navigate to the
folder where the mid has been saved and press ENTER on the mid
file - you should get the error message, or the mid will start
playing (depending on the model, I presume; when you do hear it,
I'm sure you'll recognize the tune).
Cheers,
Joseph P.S. If you have a computer, try downloading the mid to
the computer first, listen to it and transfer it to the BN to see
if you can listen to the file on the BN.

That makes sense! I use a Keysoft 6.2 based Mpower. Why would
the upgrades DOWN grade?
KS 6.2 could play MIDI, so why did they reverse it?

conclude that there might not be a MIDI codec included with Apex.

Hello Everyone,
I am trying to pair my BrailleNote Apex BT running Keysoft 9.2
with my iPod Touch fourth generation. I have already listened to
Alex's excellent podcast describing how to do this. I have
turned Bluetooth on on the BrailleNote as well as made sure the
Braille Terminal port was Bluetooth. Bluetooth is turned on on
the iPod, however the iPod does not recognize the BrailleNote.
When I try to pair the iPod with the refreshabraille 18, it is
recognized instantly. I had the refreshabraille paired with the
iPod at one time, but I told it to forget that device.
Can someone tell me if I am missing a step or whatever else the
problem could be? I am a fairly new I device user.
Thank you in advance for any suggestions.
Donna
I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.

I have heard that a 4-5-6 reset on the apex will often help
problems
like this. Try that (remember to remove all storage cards) and
try
restarting the phone.

But to chat with AOL users, you have to have an AOL account,
right? So what are the settings?

Hi,
Hmmm, I see. If Apex users gives us negative reports, then I'd
conclude that there might not be a MIDI codec included with Apex.
Cheers,
Joseph

Subject: [Braillenote] Media Player: Apex "recognizes" MIDI files
but cannotplay them
Hi folks,
The following note may seem interesting to some of you
(especially musicians):
Intro: MIDI (Musical Instrument Digital Interface) allows a
computer to play sounds based on machine rules produced by some
sequencer. This means that one can record some performance on an
electronic instrument and save it in machine form (not wave
format).
Apparently a lister wrote to me in private that BrailleNote can
play MIDI files (usual extensions being either midi or mid). He
says he found a mid file that plays on the BrailleNote and asked
if I can test it. Here's the result:
* BrailleNote does list mid files as a media file.
* The information on this mid file does not say that its a
machine audio file - it simply says "mid" when the file info was
obtained.
* When attempting to play this mid (and other mid's that I have),
it gave me the following error: "cannot open (path). `erify that
the path exists."
To test this feature, click the following link to download a mid
piece:
http://images2.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20080702202315/uncyclopedia
/images/f/f9/Pp13.mid
You might want to copy this URL using block commands, as it spans
two lines. Download it to your BrailleNote, then navigate to the
folder where the mid has been saved and press ENTER on the mid
file - you should get the error message, or the mid will start
playing (depending on the model, I presume; when you do hear it,
I'm sure you'll recognize the tune).
Cheers,
Joseph P.S. If you have a computer, try downloading the mid to
the computer first, listen to it and transfer it to the BN to see
if you can listen to the file on the BN.
