Hi Raul,
Well, maybe you can use them just fine, but I sure can't. Maybe I'm
missing a big something, but for the life of me I can't figure out how
to navigate from one section of a paper to another or from one article
to the next.
Maybe a kb article is in order here. You could call it daisy navigation
for dummys. <smile>

Subject: Re: [GWN] can the sense notetakers download and open newspapers
and magazines from NFB newsline with no problems?
Hello. I can use them just fine. When you get the newsline paper it
comes in 4 files. You must save these 4 files to a folder, for example
/flashdisk/downloads/newsline
Now open the DAISY player and point to the newsline folder, press
space then press enter and the newspaper will open.
Many thanks.

Hi Raul and List:
The other day I registered to join the free newspaper and magazine
service from NFB called NFB Newsline. You can read local and
national newspapers, and some magazines via your touch tone phone.
They also provide a service that they can e-mail the newspapers and
magazines that you want to read to your e-mail in Daisy format as
well. When I was signing up for the newspaper delivery to my e-mail,
I had difficulty registering for it online. So I contacted a
customer service person at NFB Newsline. He asked me where I'd
primarly read the newspapers. I said on my notetaker the Braille
Sense, my Victor reader stream, and my desk top PC. The customer
service person contacted me back and said "we heard that the
newspapers don't download well and work well on the Braille Sense
notetakers." Does anyone know if this is true or not? Has anyone
tried reading newspapers from Nfb Newsline on their Sense notetakers?
If so, did they download, open well, and read well in the Daisy
player? When I first received my Braille Sense I tried to download
and open Bookshare books in Daisy format in the Daisy player of the
Braille Sense. It didn't work well at all. So I learned just to
download and open the BRF files when I download, open, and unpack
books from Bookshare. I have upgraded my Braille Sense to version
5.0, but I haven't updated to the latest version, because I don't want
to mess with the Bata form. I want to wait for the stable permanent
latest version, and that might be ready to download by now. Right now
I have a loaner Braille Sense, because mine is being repaired because
some of the pins got bent in the wireless card slot. So until it
returns repaired to me, I don't want to download a lot of things on to
the loaner Braille Sense.
Thanks for putting up with my long-winded explanation and questions.
I look forward into hearing people's responses to my question. Sarah
