Re: Recording quality of victor reader xtreme
Hi, I'm about to upload some various clips to sendspace to show you how it sounds for different things. (close up, what happens when things get too loud, what happens when things're far away, etc).

Hi friends, I am in India and unfortunately there is no way that I know to follow India v. Australia cricket. Does anyone know of any audio stream (including TV broadcaste) that I could tune to?

Sample of Victor Stream Notes recording
Here as promised is a short sample of a recording made at a training session around aural history. Not made under ideal conditions as there's a fair amount of traffic noise coming through an open window. It was a hot evening. Victor notes recording.mp3 File will be stored for: 7 days Link to file: https://www.yousendit.com/download/bVlBNHAzQzNVVG52Wmc9PQ A rather reverbrant room too but the main speaker is picked up fine being some three or four feet away. the other speaker a good deal further off. I've done a straight transfer to Sound Forge with just normalising to -10 db speech. Comprssion could be applied to even out volumes. Hope it is of some help as an example. Ray.

VI Player Launch date
Afraid this may not be of much interest to those outside of the UK, but according to the VI Electronics website launch is 1st. November 2008. I'd begun to doubt whether it would launch at all given the success of the Victor Stream but let's see what happens come November. Ray. Launch date of the VI Player confirmed as 01 November 2008. VI Electronics is delighted to confirm the release date of the VI Player as 01 November 2008. Whilst the process of bringing the product to market has been a long one, VI Electronics is confident customers will deem the player worth the wait! The Vi-Player will open up a whole world of MP-3 music and audiobooks that have previously been difficult to access. The unique bookmarking feature will also enable users to listen to any audiobook without having to worry about losing their place. The VI Player will be available to buy from the RNIB online shop for private customers while the Ulverscroft Group will be handling enquiries from Jonathan Mosen List Founder Audio List Help, Guidelines, Archives and more... http://www.pc-audio.org To unsubscribe from this list, send a blank email to: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
RE: information on the plextalk pocket
For me this is not such an issue so far. But to get hold of such a unit is a problem. I wrote to irti and they told me they cannot sell to me outside the US. I have a vendor of assistive devices who is quite willing to import the unit for me, but we cannot get any reaction from the manufacturers about this! Anyone knows where we might be able to obtain such a unit internationally?

RE: information on the plextalk pocket
>From what I can ascertain, the Plextalk offers somewhat more by way of recording: stereo, recording to DAISY. It is also just a touch smaller. The Stream can play many more formats, including Audible, OGG Vorbis, FLAC, unprotected WMA, RTF, and BRF files, so that's where it shines. I believe it is also a little cheaper.

I have never used an external mike with the Stream, so I can't say. I'm guessing that it would depend on the quality of your mike, but that's just a guess.

Recording quality of victor reader xtreme
Hi all I hhave some questions regarding the victor reader xtreme especially regarding it's recording quality. This is probably one of the best pieces of technology to come out in a long time. But can it be used effectively as a recorder for lectures and conferences? And will an external microphone make a significant difference in the recording quality of this machine? Would you be able to compare the recording quality with e.g. something like the olympus recorders? I have a serious hearing impairment so sound quality is of great importance to me. I cannot seem to find any sample recordings of this machine anywhere. There are some good reviews though. Andre No virus found in this outgoing message. Checked by AVG.
