Hello Mr. Black, I have a colleague for whom this program is an answer to prayer. She is a Special Education teacher who works with students of limited linguistic proficiency. She has been given a HumanWare Classmate Reader, which is a device that takes a txt, rtf, or xml file and reads it with text to speech while highlighting the current word it is reading on the screen. She likes the device, but the cost is 400 USD and she would really like it if the Nanonote could compete. Can the software read in more than one language? She works with students whose primary language is usually Spanish. Ideally Bard Storyteller would be as good as the HumanWare reader and better, with features the HumanWare does not have. Is the speed of reading adjustable?
Also, even though I myself would love to try the .ipk, I have just painstakingly set up Debian Sid on my one Nanonote. Is there a way that the .ipk could be installed on a Debian-mipsel system? If not that, what about a HP Jornada 720 or 690 running Jlime? Thank you very much and here's to Bard Storyteller's continued improvement! (nice evocative name by the way) -Jane ----- Original Message ----- From: [email protected] Sent: 01/21/12 02:31 PM To: English Qi Hardware mailing list - support, developers, use cases and fun Subject: Re: [Qi Hardware Discuss] Bard Storyteller 0.5 for Nanonote Dear Alan, Many thanks for the reader! I just have tried it on my NanoNote: - the Bard icon was installed automatically. I can confirm that it works for me. - the default setup file mentions the /usr/local/doc/alice.txt which is not available. - and is it possible to set custom colors?
