Hello.  A very good player for this is Winamp, especially if you use any
fairly recent version of JAWS or Window-Eyes version 7 or later.  For
instance, with these screen readers running and using Winamp, before you
shut down the computer, set a time marker.  Now you can return to that same
position very easily.  Even if you don't do that, you can easily jump to any
time position in the file.  You can also easily turn the book into a DAISY
book with a free tool, then use a DAISY reader on the computer; I can
research the links for you to do that if you want.

Here is the link for the DAISY Book Generator, a free program which lets you
take a folder of one or more mp3 files and create a daisy book:

http://jaapvanlelieveld.xs4all.nl/daisy.htm

AMIS is a free DAISY book reader:

http://www.daisy.org/projects/amis/

Also, if you can access JAWS version 11, you have access to FS Reader which
is free for users of that screen reader.

The keystrokes for setting Winamp place markers is I believe dependent on
your screen reader.  If using JAWS, read the help that comes with the
scripts.  I don't do this often, but I believe the keystroke to set a marker
is alt+ctrl+m.

The manual for the Daisy Book Generator explains the process.  Basically,
you put all the mp3 files you want to constitute the Daisy book onto a
folder.  Highlight that folder in Windows Explorer and use the context menu
which, once you install Daisy Book Generator, will include the option to
create a Daisy book, as well as other options offered by the program.

Digital recorders again.

2009-10-07 Thread Tim Crawford
Hi all,

Just wondering, which one of the flash memory based recorders recently 
discussed here, would be most suitable for making high quality recordings from 
an external source via line-in?  e.g. a satellite receiver.

I don't intend recording via microphone, so that particular aspect of 
performance is of limited interest.

Any views much appreciated.

Cheers,

Tim.

What I know is that the PlexTalk Pocket is totally accessible, nicely
packaged, has both manual and automatic level control, and does a very nice
job of recording from the line injack.  I doubt any other digital recorder
provides as much feedback, as this one is made for the blind.  Of course, it
may (or may not, I don't know) cost more than others of similar quality, but
there's no guesswork involved.  It's nice to be able to monitor through the
speaker when making a line-in recording.

That statement should probably be qualified: It may well be the most
excellent recording device in its class on the market, I couldn't say
but have no reason to believe otherwise, but there are better recording
devices on the market. Sweeping statements are dangerous.

Hi all,

Just wondering, which one of the flash memory based recorders recently
discussed here, would be most suitable for making high quality recordings
from an external source via line-in?  e.g. a satellite receiver.

I don't intend recording via microphone, so that particular aspect of
performance is of limited interest.

Any views much appreciated.

Cheers,

Tim.

Agreed!

accessability is a very important factor but it doesn't equate to 
performance.
I use the olympus DS-71 which does an excellent job for both mike and line 
in recordings.
Yes, you can monitor through headphones.
I also like the fact that it uses AAA batteries that makes it easy to swap 
them out if needed.

I hear the Edital R9 is also a nifty unit

RE: Digital recorders again - Plextalk Pocket and Olympus DS-71

2009-10-07 Thread Tim Noonan
I would guess, in the  absence of no hard comparative data, that the audio
recording quality of the Pocket is quite a bit better than is the Olympus
DS-71, which I do have.

I find the Olympus, across a range of external mics does have a degree of
background hiss (preamp noise or circuit noise). This is the case when set
to wave recording and manual mic input levels. 

Also, The Olympus doesn't actually have a line in, only a mic in port, so I
am curious about line in recording quality, and whether you are using an
attenuation cable to reduce the line in signal to mic levels?

That all said, I absolutely love my Olympus DS-71 in so many ways, and for
so many reasons: its  extraordinarily flexible and effective voice recording
capabilities, battery life and replaceable batteries, and especially its
super compact size makes it a take everywhere audio device.

Speaker monitoring of line in recordings, and audible recording level
feedback are features unique to the Plextalk recorders.

Regards
Tim

What I know is that the PlexTalk Pocket is totally accessible, nicely
packaged, has both manual and automatic level control, and does a very 
nice

job of recording from the line injack.  I doubt any other digital recorder
provides as much feedback, as this one is made for the blind.  Of course, 
it
may (or may not, I don't know) cost more than others of similar quality, 
but
there's no guesswork involved.  It's nice to be able to monitor through 
the

speaker when making a line-in recording.

Hi all,

Just wondering, which one of the flash memory based recorders recently
discussed here, would be most suitable for making high quality recordings
from an external source via line-in?  e.g. a satellite receiver.

I don't intend recording via microphone, so that particular aspect of
performance is of limited interest.

Any views much appreciated.

Cheers,

Tim.

From everything I've been told, it's an outstanding recorder, and a modest 

to fair book player.
