recording a zoom.us live video

2013-09-13 Thread Grant E. Metcalf
I would like to join an online series of live classes that uses the zoom.us 
program for access. I am wondering how I might be able to record the audio 
as an mp3 for later listening or review? Any suggestions would be 
appreciated.

C Crane pocket radio

2013-07-27 Thread Grant E. Metcalf
I bought one of the C Crane pocket radios and am satisfied with its 
performance. The price was $59 US plus shipping and California sales tax.
It has lots of buttons which are easily identified. the top  button on the 
right side of the radio selects AM, FM, and the weather band. The on/off 
button, volume wheel and earphone jack are on the very top. On the face of 
the radio you will find 2 vertical buttons which move up and down the dial. 
There are 5 buttons you can use to pre-select your preferred frequencies. 
Once you have located a station you hold down one of the 5 buttons for 2 
seconds until you hear a beep and then repeat the process for the next 
station you want. There are more buttons and functions which I still don't 
understand and/or need at the moment. The sound is acceptable to my old 
ears. There is a 60 day return policy if you decide you do not want this 
radio.

Hope this is helpful. -

where to find a squeezebox radio

2011-04-05 Thread Grant E. Metcalf
The discussion about the Squeezebox radio has caught my interest and I am 
wondering if anyone can tell me where a new one might be purchased. A 
reliable website would be acceptable--however, Logitech.com doesn't have 
them and squeezebox.com doesn't exactly offer what I am looking for! I live 
in the San Francisco Bay area if there should be a retail outlet anybody 
knows about.


Thanks,

K-4 patch issues

2010-09-22 Thread Grant E. Metcalf
Hello List,

Recently the battery in my 20-year-old K-4 keyboard died and I lost the sound 
patches
I had installed in 1995 using a DOS program, I for gotten which, however, I 
believe
the extension on the patch bank(s) to be .c24, if that provides a clue. I have 
some
patches dated in the early 1990's. I am now running Windows XP Pro on my desktop
and have purchased a USB midi adapter. Kawai technical support recommended 
using a program called wsyex.exe.
It only accepts files in its buffer up to 20-KB and the old .c24 files are 22-KB
and so won't work even if wsyex would accept them. It uses syx and mid 
extensions,
and what else I don't know.

Any suggestions as to programs and/or help you may provide would be appreciated.

BTW, I am on the digest list and for faster interchanges you also might cc or 
email
me directly.

help with textaloud

2009-12-08 Thread Grant E. Metcalf
Hello Listers,

Recently I purchased Textaloud. I have made a couple of mp3 files using the 
At&t voice Mike, but do not care for it. I use the Window-Eyes screen reader 
and am wondering if anyone could help me get Textaloud to work with the 
Window-Eyes voice I use with my desktop? 

If you know of an mp3 recorder that I could plug into my computer and record 
directly from Window-Eyes that might also be acceptable.

My goal is to make articles and books available via mp3 files to those who may 
not have access to a computer or screen reader.

Thanks for your suggestions.

Listening for His shout!

Textaloud Help!

2009-11-19 Thread Grant E. Metcalf
Greetings,

I have recently purchased Textaloud and the AT&T voices Mike and Chrystal. I am 
using Window-Eyes 7.1. 
I have converted a text file book into 17 mp3 files using AT&T's voice, Mike. 
I am looking for somebody who might provide some helpful hints on using other 
voices, as well as perhaps some tips on improving inflection, et cetera. About 
the only changes I have done other than selecting Mike are: slowing speed to 5x 
and fixing the pronunciation on a couple of words. It might be helpful to know 
how to easily change voices, from AT&T natural to Eloquence or some other 
product, insert timely pauses and so forth.

My goal is to make books and articles available to other readers on the web. 
The one book I have done so far is "Holiness: The False and the True" which can 
be found at:
