Re: New podcast concerning the new talking iPod Nano.

2008-09-19 Thread Bruce Toews
Seems pretty obvious to me. The subject is about podcasts about the Ipod, 
Jonathan's telling us of a podcast showing us how to use the program that 
interfaces with it.

RE: MP3 Playback Options

2008-09-19 Thread Jonathan Mosen
Keith, good for you that you have an N95. However, my comment regarding the
Smartphone culture still stands. if you look at the data, you'll see that
the penetration of Symbian devices is lower in the US than most other
developed markets. That market data is fairly readily available. There is
also plenty of survey data which indicates that the majority of US customers
feel that they only want their phone to make and receive calls, hence the
popularity of the LG and cheaper Motorola phones. Another factor is that
many of the Nokia phones do not support the US 3G frequencies, which are
different from the rest of the world.

Getting back to the subject of audio, Code Factory's DAISY player does offer
extensive bookmarking features, as does an MP3 player I use designed
specifically for audio books. I seldom see the N82 lock up.

Battery life can certainly be a concern. Some of the newer Nokia phones such
as the N78 offer over 24 hours of playback time and include handy features
such as an FM transmitter.

There are versions of the N95 where the battery life is a serious problem
for sure. There are external battery packs or even second batteries that can
mitigate this, but some phones simply perform for much longer.

The bottom line is that different combinations of solutions, and indeed just
different solutions, work for different people, and sometimes it's just a
matter of preference.

Subject: Re: New podcast concerning the new talking iPod Nano.

Once again Jonny your bias prompts me to respond.  Which company aare you 
working for now?

So, you WROTE:


Hi Ken, my personal view is that you need to look at music in the context of
what else you might like to do on the go. For example, if you use a cell
phone or might like to, then getting an accessible cell phone with a good
music player, such as those from Nokia, might be the best option. The Victor
Reader Stream will play NLS books, which in North America is certainly a
factor, however other than this, I see no point in it at all. It is another
device to carry around. The Stream sells fairly well in North America, where
the smart phone culture is not well established. But on the Nokia N82 I
have, not only can I read print on the go with the KNFB Reader mobile, but I
can also play DAISY books, work with MP3 files in a very accessible and
flexible way, listen to Audible content and download podcasts right from the
phone. So there is no need to carry another device around with me that
duplicates those functions.

If you don't want an accessible cell phone, then there are many portable
music playback options. The Stream is certainly worth considering and that
will also read DAISY and regular texts. You might even look at an iPod
Shuffle which is very easy to operate and small. This will play music and
Audible books, but not DAISY. There are many more, the Zenstone seems quite
popular. And let's not forget the iPod Nano, which talks now.

Jonathan

***Well geeze Louise I only live in Norht America Where, acording to 
Jahnathan, the smart phone culture is not well established.

Freaking lol man!

I guess my n95-3G is of no use to me then right?

Trust me folks,
Symbian offers so much to blind users but, any applications other then 
talks, Moble Speak or the out ragiously priced KNFB reader, are not designed

with the blind user in mind.  However, The Victor reader Stream is a fully 
featured packed unit that is blind friendly! !
 And, at a price point that blows away any smart phone and Screen reader 
combination.  Investigate battery life for example.  Or look at book marking

and navigation features!  Once you do, you will know that the smart phone 
isn't there yet!

Like mr. Mossen, I have em all!  Every last one of them!  some of which you 
likely don't even know of!  And what player do I pull out of the night stand

at bed time?>

No, it's not my smart phone!  No, it's not my Pakcmate Omni!  No, it's not 
my Maestro! No, its not my ZennStone!  An no, it's not my beloved Rockbox!
Which, I might ad, is a very close second choice as I have had all the 
target players and, was involved in the beginning.  Some may no me as 
rocker!  The inspiration behind the Voice UI!

Actually; the unit I'm pulling out every night to enjoy my digital content 
is indeed the Humanware Victor Stream!

It really does boast a wide array of features.  Everthing you want from a 
book reader and a music player!
AT $300 US you absolutley can't beat it.
It doesn't feel as slick as a smart pone but it will take more pounding for 
sure!

More over, it won't lock up and cause you to lose your place like the other 
gagets.

So, Perhaps it's time you Europians took a second look cuzz you must be a 
little late in jumping on the Stream culture!
LOL!

Rock on...rocker!

Keith, if you had read the original message, you would have seen that Shane
mentioned he couldn't comment on the iTunes experience from a Windows

were interested in iTunes for Windows, I would be covering it.

Re: New podcast concerning the new talking iPod Nano.

2008-09-19 Thread Keith Gillard
Once again Jonny your bias prompts me to respond.  Which company aare you 
working for now?

So, you WROTE:


Hi Ken, my personal view is that you need to look at music in the context of
what else you might like to do on the go. For example, if you use a cell
phone or might like to, then getting an accessible cell phone with a good
music player, such as those from Nokia, might be the best option. The Victor
Reader Stream will play NLS books, which in North America is certainly a
factor, however other than this, I see no point in it at all. It is another
device to carry around. The Stream sells fairly well in North America, where
the smart phone culture is not well established. But on the Nokia N82 I
have, not only can I read print on the go with the KNFB Reader mobile, but I
can also play DAISY books, work with MP3 files in a very accessible and
flexible way, listen to Audible content and download podcasts right from the
phone. So there is no need to carry another device around with me that
duplicates those functions.

If you don't want an accessible cell phone, then there are many portable
music playback options. The Stream is certainly worth considering and that
will also read DAISY and regular texts. You might even look at an iPod
Shuffle which is very easy to operate and small. This will play music and
Audible books, but not DAISY. There are many more, the Zenstone seems quite
popular. And let's not forget the iPod Nano, which talks now.

Jonathan

***Well geeze Louise I only live in Norht America Where, acording to 
Jahnathan, the smart phone culture is not well established.

Freaking lol man!

I guess my n95-3G is of no use to me then right?

Trust me folks,
Symbian offers so much to blind users but, any applications other then 
talks, Moble Speak or the out ragiously priced KNFB reader, are not designed 
with the blind user in mind.  However, The Victor reader Stream is a fully 
featured packed unit that is blind friendly! !
 And, at a price point that blows away any smart phone and Screen reader 
combination.  Investigate battery life for example.  Or look at book marking 
and navigation features!  Once you do, you will know that the smart phone 
isn't there yet!

Like mr. Mossen, I have em all!  Every last one of them!  some of which you 
likely don't even know of!  And what player do I pull out of the night stand 
at bed time?>

No, it's not my smart phone!  No, it's not my Pakcmate Omni!  No, it's not 
my Maestro! No, its not my ZennStone!  An no, it's not my beloved Rockbox!
Which, I might ad, is a very close second choice as I have had all the 
target players and, was involved in the beginning.  Some may no me as 
rocker!  The inspiration behind the Voice UI!

Actually; the unit I'm pulling out every night to enjoy my digital content 
is indeed the Humanware Victor Stream!

It really does boast a wide array of features.  Everthing you want from a 
book reader and a music player!
AT $300 US you absolutley can't beat it.
It doesn't feel as slick as a smart pone but it will take more pounding for 
sure!

More over, it won't lock up and cause you to lose your place like the other 
gagets.

So, Perhaps it's time you Europians took a second look cuzz you must be a 
little late in jumping on the Stream culture!
LOL!

Rock on...rocker!

You do need to connect the Nano to iTunes to configure it, but once those

Re: New podcast concerning the new talking iPod Nano.

2008-09-19 Thread Dane Trethowan
I don't subscribe to the view of using a mobile phone for a Mp3 player  
for the following reasons, the one Rick has mentioned is one I  
certainly appreciate.

I have a n95 Nokia phone here with talks and yep! it plays MP3 files  
but let's face it, the N95 phone's primary design was intended to make  
and receive phone calls, send SMS messages thus things like MP3  
players are "secondary" in nature and you certainly notice this when  
playing MP3's.  firstly you get a bit of hiss, I'm assuming this is  
from the amp somewhere along the line, I find it very annoying in  
quiet passages.  Next the MP3 player inserts needless 2 second gaps  
between songs.  Third, as a phone its more important I should think to  
receive calls so given the fact that the Mp3 player only lasts for 7  
hours on a single battery charge then one has to wonder, how much  
power that takes away from the batteries standby and talk time  
capacity, so what do you say when someone is trying to reach you and  
you've flattened your battery through playing MP3 files? "Ah sorry you  
couldn't get me, was playing MP3 files" .

So given all that, I think it makes perfect sense to look at something  
else for a MP3 player such as an Ipod, Zenstone or Sandisk, all of  
which have far longer battery life and all of which are so small that  
they're easy enough to carry beside something else, I've seen someone  
who has a sort of a fold-out wallet, one side contains his phone  
whilst the other contains his Nano, neat! and its all in his pocket.

 Hello

DVR with DirecTV experience

2008-09-19 Thread Petro T. Giannakopoulos
My experience only.

Using JAWS 9.

You can set season pass or one time show recordings on certain DVR models using 
the internet with DirecTV satellite service.

I use a Philips DSR 704 DVR box which makes sound beeps. DirecTV no longer 
sells this box but you can find it at:

http://www.weaknees.com

This DVR has the original TiVo interface and not the new DirecTV interface 
which many do not like.

With this unit I can find my recorded shows and delete them with the remote 
control. My hope is to be able to delete such shows via the internet.

You will need sighted assistance to teach you how to go to the "now Playing 
list" and to delete shows. The hard drive will get full sooner or later.

The unit I have is connected to phone line. Software version on the DVR is 
6.4a, TiVo series 2.

TiVo signed like a 10 year agreement with DirecTV about 2 weeks ago so this is 
good news.

Make sure that the DVR that you decide to get is supported by this new DVR 
scheduler via the internet.

RE: New podcast concerning the new talking iPod Nano.

2008-09-19 Thread Jonathan Mosen
Hi Rick, I've never thought envy to be a particularly constructive emotion,
and as someone who grew up in a not very well-off working class family of
five, I believe we make our own opportunities.

But anyway, AT&T are offering some very good subsidies on some of this
technology. In fact I think you can get a Nokia phone with Code Factory's
Mobile Speak Pocket for less than the cost of a Stream.

The KNFB Reader may be a problem, but where there is a genuine vocational
need, funding has been made available. So it is an option that may cost less
than many people think.

Also I think to really work out the cost, it's important to calculate the
individual devices separately, IE, a not very accessible or poorly featured
phone plus MP3 player.

Cheers,

Jonathan

Hi Ken, my personal view is that you need to look at music in the context of
what else you might like to do on the go. For example, if you use a cell
phone or might like to, then getting an accessible cell phone with a good
music player, such as those from Nokia, might be the best option. The Victor
Reader Stream will play NLS books, which in North America is certainly a
factor, however other than this, I see no point in it at all. It is another
device to carry around. The Stream sells fairly well in North America, where
the smart phone culture is not well established. But on the Nokia N82 I
have, not only can I read print on the go with the KNFB Reader mobile, but I
can also play DAISY books, work with MP3 files in a very accessible and
flexible way, listen to Audible content and download podcasts right from the
phone. So there is no need to carry another device around with me that
duplicates those functions.

If you don't want an accessible cell phone, then there are many portable
music playback options. The Stream is certainly worth considering and that
will also read DAISY and regular texts. You might even look at an iPod
Shuffle which is very easy to operate and small. This will play music and

That's handy for some people but I have to confess, I'm all for  
convenience.  I want a MP3 player and its cheap then fine! I just got  
to my local store and "buy"! what's require, no paper work, no need to  
fill out application forms, no need to talk to half a dozen different  
people and more importantly, I can say I purchased what I have off my  
own back without relying on Governments and company's to help the  
"poor blind man", yes there are deserving cases of course!.

The problem I have with these devices is the same old 1 and that comes
down to how much money you have.

If you can't afford an Ipod Nano (and I accept that perhaps you can't)
, then there are some other great alternatives out there and I
mention this just to show that I'm not bias towards Apple Ipods in any
way but what I do have a bias against are products which are so
expensive in order that they be accessible, in other words products
exclusively designed for the blind but that's another topic for
another day .

First, take a look at the Creative Zenstone line of players and (even
better than that I'm told) take a look at some of the Sandisk players.

Now if you want an Ipod that's perfectly accessible then perhaps you
can take a look at one of the Shuffles, if you can use a CD player
then you can certainly have a good shuffle.

Re: Station Playlist Studio: 2 questions

2008-09-19 Thread orhan deniz
Hi Jonathan,
I actually disagree in one respect about hour markers. Unless I am mistaken, 
when you are playing a track in station playlist, and you try to insert a track 
just at the last minute, it will go above the track you are playing. This is 
why I use the hour marker, and all tracks can go above that. This is very 
helpful when taking immidiate requests etc.

Best regards,
Orhan.

Hi Ken, my personal view is that you need to look at music in the context of
what else you might like to do on the go. For example, if you use a cell
phone or might like to, then getting an accessible cell phone with a good
music player, such as those from Nokia, might be the best option. The Victor
Reader Stream will play NLS books, which in North America is certainly a
factor, however other than this, I see no point in it at all. It is another
device to carry around. The Stream sells fairly well in North America, where
the smart phone culture is not well established. But on the Nokia N82 I
have, not only can I read print on the go with the KNFB Reader mobile, but I
can also play DAISY books, work with MP3 files in a very accessible and
flexible way, listen to Audible content and download podcasts right from the
phone. So there is no need to carry another device around with me that
duplicates those functions.

If you don't want an accessible cell phone, then there are many portable
music playback options. The Stream is certainly worth considering and that
will also read DAISY and regular texts. You might even look at an iPod
Shuffle which is very easy to operate and small. This will play music and
Audible books, but not DAISY. There are many more, the Zenstone seems quite
popular. And let's not forget the iPod Nano, which talks now.

RE: Station Playlist Studio: 2 questions

2008-09-19 Thread Jonathan Mosen
Hi Orhan, all you need to do is arrow to the track you want the song
inserted before, and insert. I've been using StationPlaylist Studio for six
years and this works for me every time. Hour markers in Studio have a very
specific purpose and they have nothing to do with insertion.

Hi Jonathan,
I actually disagree in one respect about hour markers. Unless I am mistaken,
when you are playing a track in station playlist, and you try to insert a
track just at the last minute, it will go above the track you are playing.
This is why I use the hour marker, and all tracks can go above that. This is
very helpful when taking immidiate requests etc.

Best regards,
Orhan.

Re: New podcast concerning the new talking iPod Nano.

2008-09-19 Thread Bruce Toews
I'm not Jonathan, though I know he'll be able to offer you some great
advice too. I can't recommend highly enough the Victor Reader Stream. It
may be overkill for what you want, but it is small, easy to use, 100%
accessible, and works very well with music, boks, podcasts, and the
like. You can hook your thumb drive right into it if you want to,
thoughthe best way to use it is with n SD card. Mine is 16GB. That's
just one of many possibilities.

Re: New podcast concerning the new talking iPod Nano.

2008-09-19 Thread Dane Trethowan
The problem I have with these devices is the same old 1 and that comes  
down to how much money you have.

If you can't afford an Ipod Nano (and I accept that perhaps you can't)  
, then there are some other great alternatives out there and I  
mention this just to show that I'm not bias towards Apple Ipods in any  
way but what I do have a bias against are products which are so  
expensive in order that they be accessible, in other words products  
exclusively designed for the blind but that's another topic for  
another day .

First, take a look at the Creative Zenstone line of players and (even  
better than that I'm told) take a look at some of the Sandisk players.

Now if you want an Ipod that's perfectly accessible then perhaps you  
can take a look at one of the Shuffles, if you can use a CD player  
then you can certainly have a good shuffle.

RE: New podcast concerning the new talking iPod Nano.

2008-09-19 Thread Jonathan Mosen
Hi Ken, my personal view is that you need to look at music in the context of
what else you might like to do on the go. For example, if you use a cell
phone or might like to, then getting an accessible cell phone with a good
music player, such as those from Nokia, might be the best option. The Victor
Reader Stream will play NLS books, which in North America is certainly a
factor, however other than this, I see no point in it at all. It is another
device to carry around. The Stream sells fairly well in North America, where
the smart phone culture is not well established. But on the Nokia N82 I
have, not only can I read print on the go with the KNFB Reader mobile, but I
can also play DAISY books, work with MP3 files in a very accessible and
flexible way, listen to Audible content and download podcasts right from the
phone. So there is no need to carry another device around with me that
duplicates those functions.

If you don't want an accessible cell phone, then there are many portable
music playback options. The Stream is certainly worth considering and that
will also read DAISY and regular texts. You might even look at an iPod
Shuffle which is very easy to operate and small. This will play music and
Audible books, but not DAISY. There are many more, the Zenstone seems quite
popular. And let's not forget the iPod Nano, which talks now.

I'm not Jonathan, though I know he'll be able to offer you some great
advice too. I can't recommend highly enough the Victor Reader Stream. It
may be overkill for what you want, but it is small, easy to use, 100%
accessible, and works very well with music, boks, podcasts, and the
like. You can hook your thumb drive right into it if you want to,
thoughthe best way to use it is with n SD card. Mine is 16GB. That's
just one of many possibilities.

Observations of Skype

2008-09-19 Thread Dane Trethowan
Hi everyone!

Well I just wouldn't be without Skype now, they have a service called  
"Country Unlimited" and for $06.00 a month you can ring any landline  
in your country of choice for as long as you like, talk about giving  
phone calls away  so now I just give out my Skype User Name or  
skype-in numbers and leave it at that.

Now I have a couple of questions, I have the dedicated skype cordless  
phone system which plugs into my Linksys WAG200G gateway and into the  
PSTN, that way I can receive calls from both services on the one  
phone, so far so good but I'm wondering if anyone has any good  
recommendations for USB Skype phones or cordless phones, they're the  
type which plug into the USB port of a PC or Mac and (providing the  
computer is powered on) you can make/receive calls through these  
devices.  Obviously I'm not in any need of one myself but I'm looking  
on behalf of a friend who doesn't fancy the idea of sitting in front  
of his PC and nor does he have the money to buy one of the dedicated  
Skype phones I've mentioned here.

The second thing I'd like to comment on is the voicemail that Skype  
provides, its absolutely first-class but I'd like to make it a little  
better.  With the Message Bank system I have on the landline, people  
can leave messages and I get a SMS on my mobile phone when messages  
are pending, is there any way to have Skype voicemail send out a SMS  
notification? Naturally! I wouldn't mind using a little of my "Skype  
Credit" if I had to .

Finally, just in case you're wondering, my Skype User Name is grtdane12

Cheers

Dane's Podcasts: The Mountbatten Brailler Part 2

2008-09-19 Thread Dane Trethowan
Hi Everyone!

sorry this has taken me so long but I've just completed this podcast,  
just applying the finishing touches and it should be available in 24  
hours or so.  In this episode I do some embossing with the Braille  
Writer using the Mountbatten's built-in "forward translator" and I  
look at various ways and means.  This episode deals with embossing  
from Windows and the MB Com software which comes with the Mountbatten  
Brailler and does not attempt to explore Duxbury, Monti or any other  
Windows-Based Braille embossing applications and an explanation as to  
"why?" is given in the recording.

I make mention of this podcast episode to alert you to the "up coming"  
third part which I hope to start producing as soon as my USB to serial  
adapter arrives and that should be early next week, what's so  
important about that? Well, I'll be using it to as part of the setup  
for embossing from the Mac to the Mountbatten Brailler and for those  
who wish to emboss? Well you may like to give this system some thought  
as the embossing software is freely available and has more  
functionality than does Duxbury or Monti for Windows, just goes to  
show what programmers can come up with (a job very well done Greg)  
.

In the meanwhile, if you want to "jump the queue" so to speak and "get  
cracking" with embossing from your Mac then email me and I will  
forward some useful resources onto you.

You do need to connect the Nano to iTunes to configure it, but once those
recordings are transferred to your nano, you don't need to be connected to
iTunes to have the speech.

RE: Station Playlist Studio: 2 questions

2008-09-19 Thread Jonathan Mosen
Shift+insert is the command to insert tracks. Depending on your screen
reader and the way you have it configured, you may need to use its bypass
key before using this command. You can define, via the settings, folders to
search and insertion is extremely fast. There is no need to have anything to
do with hour markers just to insert tracks, in fact doing so can be
downright dangerous depending on your configuration.

Hi Quinten.

You can do what you want with Station Playlist.

To move items in a playlist, select the item you want to move and hit CTRL-X
to cut it.  Then move the cursor to where you want to move the track and hit
CTRL-V.  You can also delete tracks.  Select the track you want to delete
and hit SHIFT-DEL.

As for inserting items into a playlist, I know Station Playlist can do this,
but I don't know how to do it within the program.  You can copy items in
Windows Explorer and add them to the playlist.  Here's how to do it.

Open Windows Explorer and find the item you want to add.  Copy it to the
clipboard with CTRL-C.  Then go to Station Playlist and select where you
want the track inserted.  Then hit ALT-P to paste it in.

Hope this is useful.

Greetings all

This week I started working at a local radio station here in town, and they
use Station Playlist Studio.

Since the demo I have of it, expired, I just would like 2 small questions
answered, if possible please:

First, is it possible to move, or drag songs up and down in a playlist once
it is loaded, (similar to how you can move songs around in a playlist while
in Winamp)?
And if possible, what is the key command one should use to do this?

Second:  While in SPL, is it possible to search and load a song into the
playlist if it isn't there automatically?
If so, again, what are the keyboard commands to be used?

Thanks for any and all help, it is much appreciated.

Re: New podcast concerning the new talking iPod Nano.

2008-09-19 Thread Dane Trethowan
Excellent, very good!

Well the more podcasts we have about this sort of thing then the  
better, I notice for example that there are 4 or 5 (perhaps half a  
dozen) different podcasts doing the rounds on the Cobolt Speech  
systems Ital device and there are already at least 2 Podcasts dealing  
with the Ipod Nano 4G

Gordon Smith has done a Podcast on the Ital and (I haven't checked as  
yet) but I think he was also going to do something with the 4G Nano,  
anyway you can find "Gordon's Playroom" in the place where you'd  
expect to find podcasts, in the Itunes Store of course! and yes, free  
content is listed as well as content to purchase .

RE: Station Playlist Studio: a final question

2008-09-19 Thread Jonathan Mosen
Further to this, it is really easy to set up a frame in JAWS around that
area, so I use control+shift+T to tell me how much time I have remaining,
and that speaks a frame that I've made around that area. Also if you have
timed all your intros, you can set up a key that tells you how long you have
before the vocals.

Hi Quinten.

I use speech to access the screen, so what I say may be different if you use
your eyes to look at the screen.

At the bottom of the screen you'll find the time that Station Playlist has
been running.  Above this line is the elapsed time of the song and the
remaining time.

Hope this helps.

Thanks again for any help.

Looking for a Station

2008-09-19 Thread Bruce Toews
Hi. I am considering bringing my Toews on the Waves radio program back
from the grave. I am looking for a station to broadcast it on. For it to
work, the station would have to meet certain criteria ... not because I
or my show are better than the rest, because I/it aren't. Just look at
the grammar in that last sentence and you'll know this to be true. I may
not be able to find a station that meets these criteria, but I figured I
could try.

1. The station needs to be on 24/7, barring technical problems and so
on.

2. The owner of the station needs to be willing/able to accept
pre-recorded shows. I'd suck at live radio if I tried it, and I know it.

3. The station needs to have sufficient automation so I can upload a
show in advance and it will play at the predetermined time.

I want the exposure that an always-on station can offer. The previous
venue for my show was wonderful: Shellworld Radio did everything they
could to accomodate me and I can't thank them enough, but the resources
and so on just weren't there to keep the station on at all times, and
that made advertising my show difficult.

If anyone knows of such a station, if such a station even exists, I'd
love to hear about it. Thanks very much.

Bruce

Listened to the podcast.  Do I understand that it only talks when connected 
to Itunes?

Re: New podcast concerning the new talking iPod Nano.

2008-09-19 Thread Dane Trethowan
Yep that's right, I myself (if I'm not beaten to it ) will be  
doing one with Itunes for Windows but actually some of the concepts in  
the podcast are strikingly similar, that is to say if you can use  
Itunes for the Mac then you can use it for Windows.
