Re: sansa clip and accessible mp3 players
If that was true, it doesnt appear to be now. Like I said, apart from the size and the fact that the price and feature set is geared towards the blindy revolution, it does appear to be full-featured. In fact, Im now quite tempted to grab one
Re: sansa clip and accessible mp3 players
As I said, my blindy comment was more in concern of restriction, but if in fact the Victor stream is not restricted as say the Victor reader machine the Rnib uses (cant recall the model but I assume you know the ones I mean), then hay that is cool

Re: sansa clip and accessible mp3 players
Hi,[[wow]], I like this Dark. Someone who basically sold you the product properly it seems, giving you useful info that allowed you to make that decision. From what Ive heard, I dont think you will be let down either.The trouble with Rockbox is I
Re: sansa clip and accessible mp3 players
Hi Aaron. I dont know about rockbox and supernova either, but generally as I said supernova copes with most things that arent completely random, for example Kchess, Avg, smugglers, progress quest etc, (one reason why Itunes 12 being such a bastard
Re: sansa clip and accessible mp3 players
For goodness sake, Dark, do what makes you happy and sod the rest. You dont have to explain. By this time next month youll probably we wondering why people have such an aversion to these products in the first place.I have a BrailleNote and a SARA
Re: sansa clip and accessible mp3 players
Well Sebby the reason for my explanation was simply because I do think its necessary to think about these things. While undoubtedly some people do take cryticisms of the blindopoly far too far, at the same time there are legitimate objections
Re: sansa clip and accessible mp3 players
The Victor stream isnt as bad price wise as I thought, though my major concern, apart from being specifically tied to lots of service providers, is whether the Usb mp3 function works in a streight forward way. Dazy I find an annoying format most
Re: sansa clip and accessible mp3 players
Here, try reading the manual. Looks like youll be right at home; it has support for, lets see, DAISY, text files, music, and other books where that just means folders of audio files. It has software but you dont need it; you can just copy your shit

Re: sansa clip and accessible mp3 players
Well its not so much copying into obscure folders as just wanting one thing for one fairly standard job, this is after all how I approach technology generally, bugger trends and numbers and other such rubbish, what does it do for me, if it doesnt
Re: sansa clip and accessible mp3 players
I also own a clip zip and love it for what it does, though itd be even better if the interfaces of some or all of the rockbox built-in plugins were voiced as well; the default installation includes a calculator, games, a text editor and some other
Re: sansa clip and accessible mp3 players
@Dark, that was intended to be a joke, actually. Of course I know what you meant, its just that the Stream uses some weird folder names starting with $ I think for its internal uses. But it doesnt matter; youd be able to handle that.Anyway, good
Re: sansa clip and accessible mp3 players
Well in the case of the victor stream, when I say blindy what I mean is more restrictive. For example the victor readers the rnib talking book service use have a lot of design flaws that were clearly intended for people not used to technology
Re: sansa clip and accessible mp3 players
Hi John. I know mp3 players arent exactly heavy on processor, however what confused me is the introduction to talking mp3 players on the site mentioned installing sapi voices, and something about rb clipper for making voice clips of files
Re: sansa clip and accessible mp3 players
The players use a custom firmware interface called Rockbox, which, among other things, lets you use speech. but all of the speech is pre-recorded... so it isnt tts persay. I dont exactly remember how the process works... since I said in the itunes
Re: sansa clip and accessible mp3 players
Hello,I am familiar with these devices, as I have one and find it incredible. The best 50 pounds I ever spent, and that was just for the device itself, as I got sighted help to put it into a required mode then installed the rest.If you buy one from
Re: sansa clip and accessible mp3 players
Rockbox (the name of the custom firmware that make these things speak) is made self voicing by recording sound files for the various strings of the interface, plus basic things like numbers and letters, very much like self voicing audio games
Re: sansa clip and accessible mp3 players
@Aaron, thanks for that, I know you own one of these so I was hoping for a reply on this. Supernova is fine by default with most things on windows (one reason Itunes 12 is such a pain in the arse), if not I dont mind using sapi, however I just want
Re: sansa clip and accessible mp3 players
If you want to generate the speech yourself, then I honestly see no point in getting the Talking MP3 player version of the clip zip. Its like getting a car, paying extra to get it painted, then you take it home and paint it again yourself.If you
Re: sansa clip and accessible mp3 players
dark, You will have to pay import dutys and VAT. This ends up meaning that you will end up paying about 120 pounds roughly. Your much better off buying in the mp3 player sd cards and the like and modding the thing itself. its a 10 minute job
Re: sansa clip and accessible mp3 players
Hello,I discovered something today. It seems you cant look around the UI of the Rockbox utility unless you actually have a compatable device plugged in, unless they fixed that in an update that I dont yet have.Also, the way combo boxes work
Re: sansa clip and accessible mp3 players
Thats interesting. Apart from the price I thought the stream seemed quite promising; it has networking, which might come in handy later if you podcast. That is if I ever have the inclination to take an audio player out with me, instead of my iPhone
sansa clip and accessible mp3 players
Okay, as I said in the Itunes topic, Ive had it with Itunes so I believe its now time to make the decision that I thought I was going to have to make when I bought my Iphone 2 years ago and buy a talking mp3 player. Ive gone to http
