Fwd: Victor Stream Software 2.0 Re-Release

2008-07-14 Thread Steve Pattison
From: HumanWare [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Dear Victor Reader Customer:

This is to announce that the re-release of Stream 2.0 is now available 
for
download. The new version is 2.0.6 and can be downloaded from:
http://www.humanware.com/en-canada/support/vr_stream_software

There you will find 3 choices for the English version 2.0 with Samantha,
Tom, or Daniel text-to-speech voices. The Release Notes for 2.0.6 are 
the
same as for the original version 2.0.3 and are also available on the 
above
page. The Release Notes explain how to install the software and list in
detail all new features and improvements. Briefly,to install follow 
these
steps:

- Download the software zip file from the above link

- Unzip the single UPG upgrade file from the zip file. You do not need
special unzip software. Simply press Enter to open the zip file and you 
can
then select the UPG file.

- Copy this UPG file to the root of your Stream SD card.

- Disconnect the Stream from the computer, connect it to AC power and 
turn
it on.

- The Stream will automatically start the update process which takes 
about 1

minute during which time it will announce intermittent "please Wait"
messages. The Stream will power off when the new software is installed.

- You may then remove the UPG file from the SD card.

After the new software is installed, the Release Notes document will 
also be

available in a HumanWare sub-folder of your Text Bookshelf so you may 
read
the Release Notes with your Stream.  It is in html format on the Stream 
so
you can navigate it by any of heading levels 1, 2, or 3.

This version corrects the issues with NISO e-text talking book formats
where Fast Forward was causing the Stream to shutdown and where page
navigation was not working. Examples of NISO e-text books are the Stream
built-in User Guide, NFB newspapers, and Bookshare.org books.

Following are important points regarding this new version 2.0.6 release.

1. Audible Bookmarks
For future improvements, Audible has changed their playback engine and 
this
new engine is included in Version 2.0. It does not affect how you listen 
or
navigate in Audible books but it required a change to the way Stream
identifies Audible books in the Stream's bookmark database. This will 
result

in the loss of reading position and bookmarks saved in version 1.2. 
Prior to

installing you may wish to note the elapsed reading time position in 
your
Audible books so after installing you can then use the Go To Time 
function
to quickly return to your reading position. Subsequent Audible book 
reading
positions and bookmarks will be maintained.

2. INFO key Announcement of SD Space Remaining
After the original 2.0.3 release , we received reports that SD space
remaining does not report correctly on all cards. We investigated this 
and
found that some cards have incorrect value for total space usage but it 
is
not clear why. It is related to Windows and/or Linux not updating this 
value

after adding or removing files. We left the feature in as it seems to 
report

accurately in most cases. It is not specific  to any brand of card or 
size
of card. We were able to correct one card by reformatting and
re-transferring the files but it is not clear this is always the 
solution.
Also, if the space used has an incorrect value it does not appear there 
is
any other problem with the data on the card. We will investigate an
alternative method to reporting SD space for a future release.

3. Recording Audio Bookmarks
In Stream 2.0 there is a bug whereby audio bookmarks can only be 
recorded by

pressing and holding the Record key while you voice your recording. The
single press at start of recording and second press at end of recording 
does

not work. . This will be corrected on the next version. For recording 
audio
notes, both methods still work.

We appreciate your patience over the past two weeks while we addressed 
the
NISO text book playback issues and we hope you will enjoy the many new
features and improvements in version 2.0.6.

Thank you,

The HumanWare Team

Hi:

If converting in to MP3 is done properly, you should have no problem with 
sound quality.

Cheers.

Re: USB turntable cassette

2008-07-14 Thread DJ DOCTOR P
Hello GMC,
I have those two components too.
However, they do not work with DC-7 and or Sonar.
And you're right, the latest version of the software that comes with these 
things don't work to well with JAWS.
So with that in mind, you may want to go back to the old way of doing 
things.
Sure you could keep the drivers, but they won't interface the turntable and 
cassette deck with DC-7.
I don't know about yours.
But mine, has RCA output jacks on the back of them.
So you can still use them with DC-7 and your mixer.
Or, you can skip the mixer and run them directly in to your sound card.
But the problem with this idea is, you can only run 1 at a time.
My best regards.
  John.

USB turntable cassette

2008-07-14 Thread G. McFarlane
HiI've a couple of questions and am looking for some advice/opinions.
I have an old turntable and bouble cassette which I put through a mixer then 
take the signal digitally to my computer.
I'm thinking of changing for the IOn Turntable and the IOn Twin Cassette deck 
which both have USB output to the computer, bypassing anything else. 
In the past I've altered the signal with the mixer but am generally of the 
op9inion that it's better to take in; the raw signal then alter it on the 
computer. Any thoughts here?
Secondly I use Sonar, Audition and DC7. I notice that these Ion items come with 
Audacity - does this mean that they will work better with this program or will 
my other programs be better? Also for a while there was some talk on this list 
as to whether Audacity's latest version was accessible to Jaws and it was 
suggested that a prior version would be better. Is this still the case, and if 
so will most of the functions I wish to use to clean up tapes and records still 
be on this earlier version.
I'd appreciate anyone who has experience of this passing on some info.
Regards.
