Re: Magic Jack and accessability of the device/service
It was interesting to hear about the Magic Jack; but where does one find one?

A company just sent me a free Magic Jack device; It is a jack that you plug into the pc via usb and you can make and receive calls free for a year. The device normally sells for $29.95, but it drops to $19.95 the next years. You get all phone calls in the US and Canada for free; they say you can take the device anywhere in the world and your freign relatives can have a local US area code; and they can dial your local number via a phone hooked to the device as long as they are logged onto the net, meaning they could make free calls to the US and Canada from anywhere. Just like Skype, you can call foreign destinations for low cost credits. the program is totally accessible from a regular phone that is hooked into the device for calling; however, it does not seem to be too accessible from the pc screen, as it is pretty graphical. It has the basic phone stuff, with a few contact and voice message features; you can switch from phone to headset, but I didn't get it to work yet. If other blind people out there uses this device, I'd like to know how to make it more accessible and, since other blind people use it, there may be some kind of scripts or programs to help it be more accessible. I'm not sure, but it seems to have Yahoo and other features and I think it shouldn't be too difficult to make it accessible on the screen like Skype and Messenger. the system does not put any files on your system; however, it puts a temporary file on your system that is there only as long as your Magic Jack is attached; once it is unplugged, the icon is gone. Supposedly, it works anywhere in the world that has high-speed internet service. I'm traveling to the Philippines soon and am anxious to see if it will actually work in one of their computer cafes. Any comments on this would be appreciated.

I'm trying to figure out just which tuning tool I need in order to adjust the transmit frequency. Also, which screws do you remove to get the unit out of the case or at least get the bottom exposed. I use this transmitter to pipe pc audio throughout the house to fm receivers and need to adjust the frequency. Any help would be appreciated.

Re: Minidisc recorder Drawback
Michael, I also enjoy your reviews very much. Can you tell me whether the Olympus DS2 has the usual beeps and the ability to hear when one goes from one folder to another? Jim - Original Message - From: Michael Lang [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: PC audio discussion list. Pc-audio@pc-audio.org Sent: Tuesday, May 24, 2005 3:48 PM Subject: Re: Minidisc recorder Drawback Shane, I know the DS-2 and the WS-200s. The DS-2 has bigger buttons and a bigger speaker. It can only record up to one hour in its S-HQ mode, because it has 64 megs of memory and uses 128 KBPS for its S-HQ mode. The WS-200s can record up to four hours in its S-HQ mode, because it has 128 megs of memory and uses 64 KBPS. None of the two can be used with an AC adapter. One can listen to the end of the last recording with the DS-2 by skipping to it and then pressing back, while in stop mode. This isn't possible on the WS-200s, because the WS is just a note taking recorder, while Olympus sees the DS-2 as a kind of dictation machine. Also, to connect the DS-2 with a PC, one has to use a USB cable, but the WS-200s has a built-in USB plug. *** Michael Lang *** You wrote: Hello, Michael and list. Michael, I have listned to all your reviews on Main Menu, so your opinion is very high in my book. I just purchased an Olympus DS2, and I love it. Do you have any reviews of this little machine, and if you don't, do you personally have the recorder? I am very interested in comparisons between the DS2 and the WS200S.

Re: Minidisc recorder Drawback
Shane, what unit were you describing? The message was very good, only I was unable to find what you described. Jim - Original Message - From: Shane Jackson [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: PC audio discussion list. Pc-audio@pc-audio.org Sent: Tuesday, May 24, 2005 7:58 PM Subject: Re: Minidisc recorder Drawback Hey there, Will and all. Well, the unit is quite small, and it has several recording modes, both stereo and mono. The stereo and one of the mono settings save their files as Windows Media Audio, and the other two mono modes save their recordings in the proprietary DSS format. All the modes sound quite good. The length of the recording time is as follows, approximately: High-quality stereo, 1HR 10MN; standard stereo 2HR 20MN; High Quality Mono 4HR 40MN; standard Mono 10HR; and low quality mono 22HR. I use mine all the time. The menus all default to there normal setting after you've used them, so there is only a little bit of memorization in order to operate the unit. Battery life is very nice; and it comes with a USB docking cradle, so you do not necessarily need the USB cord, if you don't want to use it. Also, it can be used as a USB microphone and a USB speaker, which can be good if you are using dictation software such as Dragon of ViaVoice. It also has voice activated recording and mic sensativity selections. On playback, it comes with some different noise cancellation settings. The buttons are fairly big, for the most part, and the speaker sounds pretty good. The ear buds that come with the unit are very decent, and it even comes with a carry-case that is cool, too. It uses two tripple A batteries, and it has a headphone input, 3.5MM and a mic input, also 3.5MM. That is the standard MINI stereo plug, in case I got the millimeters wrong. There you have some of the more useful features, and the price tag is around US $149, but it can be found on the internet a little cheaper. Sometime in the not-too-distant future, I may do a review of this little recorder. I trust this information is helpful to the list.

Re: recording audio streams
Kevin, I read your very informative message and it alone helped. However, I was unable to find the Total Recorder tutorial you mentioned. Jim - Original Message - From: Kevin Shields [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: Pc-audio@pc-audio.org Sent: Saturday, May 21, 2005 1:11 AM Subject: Re: recording audio streams Lisa, it's total recorder. Go to highcriteria.com and download the standard version of total recorder. In order to get it to work you'll need to register it. And after you've downloaded it, write to highcriteria and get a registration key and then register it in total recorder and you should be set to go. But there's a tutorial on total recorder on the ACB web site. Give a listen, and you'll know the operating instructions on how to run it. I have it and it's really blind friendly. You'll need the lame encoder to make it convert and record to MP3 on the fly. And some one on this list should be able to give you the address to get the lame encoder. Make sure you install it and set the bit rate and to record in stereo or mono or else it won't record and convert to MP3 properly. You can either record from sound board which is to record from anything you plug in to your sound card. And software, which will let it record from an internet stream. Hope this helps.
