RE: OT: Talking Multimeter

[Andre Jarreau]

Nickus,

 

Forgive my ignorance.  What is the multimeter used for?  Measuring voltages and 
currents in electric circuits etc.?

 

Thanks

Hi all

I’ll happily share with the list, I just didn’t think there will be a lot of 
interest, so didn’t want to bug the list with long discussions etc.

 

I’m not even sure of the companies name, as said they are in Russia.

The guys name is Maxim Pavlov you can email him for all info ma...@sinor.ru

 

The price is $80 there is a version with and without temperature measurement, 
both cost the same.

I paid $50 for courier shipping and it took 11 days to reach me, I paid them 
via Paypal.

 

As I understand, this is actually a normal mainstream multimeter which they 
then program to output synthesised speech via the RS232 communication port.

It has a rechargeable battery and charges via USB cable which is included with 
the product.

 

You will have a option of voices, he will send you sample files, out of the 3 
english voices he sent me, I opted for the female one.

You will also have the option to have a braille label cut out on the top for 
all modes, or you can choose that they make a cutout for you with only a couple 
of dots marking modes which you choose. I went for the braille label cutout 
since I thought it would be kind of cool, but turns out this doesn’t work too 
well. The space is very limited so everything is squeezed in quite tight, 
result is that most of the braille gets cut off. If I could choose again, I’d 
take the option of only a couple of dots on the top then memorise the modes I 
need most. This label isn’t fixed though, it’s a thick piece of cardboard so at 
some point I’ll just make a new one with a couple of dots on the modes which I 
use most.

 

Finally you can also choose to have them put a button on the positive probe for 
you, when you press this button it will speak the value on screen, I went for 
this option and it works great rather than the thing talking and talking non 
stop.

 

If you have any questions, I’ll happily answer so ask away.

Re: is it possible to quantize audio in proTools?

[Tim Elder]

Thanks for posting the audio demo.  I agree that sitting down with the 
manual is a very valuable process to learn PT fundamentals.  I haven't 
refreshed for several years, but I do appreciate these audio demos for 
those of us who haven't had time to dive back in to the manual on the newer 
features.  Thanks again to this community for all the great resources for

My brutha, you speaka-my-language! LOL! It's not all or always about what one

I'm all about the inhaling, deducing and applying.

I'm very used to shrinking and expanding things--musical objects, memory 
objects, CADCAM objects--without immediate feedback as to the new shape of said 
object after manipulating it, therefore having to manually check its new 
dimensional parameters. Shouldn't pose a problem here.

I have two goals: short-term, to get some meaningful work done--lay down some 
tracks, both audio and MIDI, and fix performance errors; long-term, very long 
it looks like, learn the program as best I can. I think between my in-the-dark 
hacking and applying results therefrom, and going through that manual, the 
darkness will recede and these two goals can (and will) be accomplished over 
time, with lots of overtime put in on both. These methods are how I have 
approached just about everything complicated and complex in my life, and 
they've served me well so far, so I'll take your fine advice and mix in a bit 
of my own intrpidness.

Steve,
Sorry for the delayed response but this is a difficult question to answer. 
Everything depends on your goal. If you want to know the program well, there's 
no shortcut to reading the reference Guide. Yes, I know, it's like fifteen 
hundred pages but it contains essentially everything you need. Naturally, skip 
the video chapters. You probably don't need to worry about sync and surround 
material as well. An enormous amount of material is repetitive but it helps 
emphasize key points. As blind users, there's a disadvantage we face in that 
on-screen changes are not easily detected and those very changes speak volumes 
about functionality. For example, trimming the right edge of a clip boundary 
with a keyboard shortcut goes completely undetected unless you specifically 
read the length counter to verify the behavior. Naturally, you don't need to 
verify the behavior once you know how it works and what's going on but nowhere 
in the manual will there be an instruction to check the length counter. A 
sighted user immediately sees that the clip has clearly become shortened. What 
a blind user needs to understand is that the shortcut trims the right boundary 
of the clip and the user has to logically deduce that, if the clip has been 
shortened and it's still selected, well then, the selection must itself be 
shorter. Hey, let's check the length of the selected clip. Guess what?

I simply use this example to illustrate how, when reading the manual, blind 
users need to use deductive reasoning to experiment and verify results. This, 
in the end, makes for a deeper understanding of the environment. I've never, 
ever said that learning Pro Tools is easy. In fact, it's quite difficult in a 
way, especially for a blind user, but it's absolutely worth it. There are 
people who only need to edit audio files and they struggle with other 
applications and platforms. Meanwhile, Pro Tools is, hands down, the best audio 
editor out there and it's ninety nine percent accessible. And the one percent 
that isn't accessible is stuff that's so esoteric that you'll never need that 
functionality. Mind you, I'm talking about audio editing and not the entire 
scope of what Pro Tools can do. So, with virtually complete accessibility 
through keyboard shortcuts alone, some users will simply not read the chapter 
on audio editing and look at the keyboard shortcuts list and experiment.

All that said, a proper tutorial on audio editing would probably go a long way 
but it has to be done well. There's nothing as bad as a disorganized and poorly 
executed tutorial. Perhaps that's something that I might tackle at some point. 
We've gotten a bunch of new users and I'm afraid many of them are not inclined 
to put in the daunting amount of work to learn how to do basic editing. Some 
get it instantly and others struggle. If I can carve out some time, I'll put 
something together.
Best,
slau

There is enough interest to share with the list. Unless there is a rule that

It’s pretty neat, they customise it according

blind and visually disabled people interested in this product as well.

After searching far and wide, basically all across the world, I came across a 
manufacturer who makes talking multimeters. In my search I came across this 
guys post of quite a few years ago on some electronics forum. It is a company 
in Russia who manufactures a talking multimeter.

>From what I could find, previously one or two other companies also made 
>talking multimeters, but they either went out of business or discontinued the 
>product long ago.

I ordered this multimeter 2 or so weeks ago and it arrived today, it was $130 
including shipping to South Africa.

It’s pretty neat, they customise it according to your needs, you can choose the 
voice, choose whether you want braille markings or just dots on top and you can 
also choose to get a positive probe with a button which you push for it to talk.

If you are interested, email me off list and I can give you the companies 
contact details.

Vibes Unveils Reusable, Hi-Fidelity Earplugs

[Chris Smart]

It shouldn't even need saying. Protect your hearing!

Several years ago, I went for the custom-molded expensive musician's 
earplugs. They are excelent. But it seems we now have a lower cost 
option. Also, note the coupon code for a discount and free shipping, 
mentioned in the article.
