Re: Can a total operate a Go Pro camera guys

2016-12-01 Thread Matthew Chao
Hi, Andy.  First, you don't meed a mic, as the cameras have built-in 
ones, quite nice, in fact.  The Hero5 series actually record in stereo.



GoPro makes attachments for wrists, arms and legs.  Additionally, 
there's a chest harness that you can wear.  Minor problem is that the 
GoPro's mics are so sentitive that you'll hear a lot of thumping when 
walking - that's the sound of your feet as you plod along.



So, long story short:  If you're going to get a GoPro, get the Hero5 
Session.  Hope this all helps.--Matt & Quill.

Hi Mat.

Thanks for the advice regarding the Gopro cameras.

I've been searching my local suppliers over here in Scotland since 
your message and it's looking a bit complicated.


I accept that you were saying about the Gopro hero 5.  I can find 2 
models the one you suggest and a larger model, more expensive called 
the Gopro Hero 5 black.


So I'd probably go with your suggestion, but which of the Hero 5 range?

Another complication is about fitments and attachments.  I'd probably 
need sighted assistence to look at these pages for I don't really 
understand what they are, apart from a gun grip or extension pole.  
I'd like something to attach it to my upper chest and perhaps a 
similar attachment for my dog, for a dog's eye view of training.


The final difficulty is that I notice that the 5 has an external 
mini-usb for connecting a 3D binaural microphone set up.  I'd much 
rather this was a quarter inch socket.


So it looks like I have quite a lot of work to do before I actually 
make my purchase.  But it will be the Hero 5 right enough.


Thanks again for your help.

Very best wishes.

Andy.

Hi, Andy.  I had a GoPro Hero4 Silver, and yes, a blind person can 
use it. However, you should have a sighted person put it into video 
mode before you leave for training.  You use the top button to start 
the video, and to stop it.  When you stop the video, you get three 
beeps to know that that's what happened.



The above said, however, a GoPro Hero5 would be better, as it has 
voice control.  For example, you can say "GoPro start video" and 
"GoPro stop recording".  Suggest you buy the Hero5 Session for $299.  
Hope this helps.--Matt & Quill.

Re: listen to music in surrround sound

As much as Bose users won't like to hear it, you won't find a 
Bose system or

product mentioned in an audiophile magazine but that's nice to say their
products are cheap, nasty and rubbish because that just isn't the case.

The products are reasonable at worst and the company is very good to deal
with, or it is here at any rate.

I've been able to try before I buy the products I have in my own 
home, there

was one product I didn't like and I told Bose so after the trial, they made
arrangements to pick the product up from me and I was given a refund of the
purchase price, no questions asked.

I had a problem with my Bose Soundlink Air and a pickup of the old and
delivery of the new replacement was arranged, again no questions asked, no
hitches etc, I just had to identify who I was.

I wonder if anybody on list owns this speaker from Bose. It costs $300.
I saw one briefly last evening at the Verizon store, as I was
purchasing my new iPhone and was pretty impressed with the sound,
given the size of the box. I really haven't looked all that much in
to this sort of speaker. I have an older dock that works with the
older style iPhone connectors, and it really sounds pretty good, but
my better half has sort of taken it over for use in his class-room.
So I'd like to know from those who have experienced this equipment,
what did you think, and are there other units you'd recommend as good
competition? I like the size and the volume and depth of sound, but
am not thrilled with the $300 price tag, naturally.

Thoughts on the New Victor reader Stream?

questions:


Does it have an adapter for readingNLS cartridges?

How do you get the Reader to sync up with an encrypted wireless connection?

I have the previous Victor Reader Stream.  What makes the newer one

Subject: Re: Thoughts on the New Victor reader Stream?


I am going to by mine next month if all goes wel. I think the new
stream could've been a bit better, but there are enough bennifits for
me at least. First off, the old stream does only charch on the
adapter. No USB charching of any kind is supported. And that is sick
in the time we live in. So now the new stream does not just support
charching via USB, but it also charch with a pere USB adapter and only
have one port wich dubble as both an charching and connection port.
The thing I like about the new interface however, is that you can now
charch and listen wile its connected to the pc. Connect it wile the
unit is turned on, and it will charch and stil be able to play and be
usable. Turn it off and connect and turn back on again and the pc will
see it as a mass storage device like the old stream did. I am also
sick and tired of stupid Samantha and tom drink to much wisky and so
the newer acapela voices are more than usable. They really are what I
can use for long hours of reading. I love the fact that now on the new
stream you can set the sleep timer in custom incriments according to
your set time, and not only the presets they always allowed. And the
way the clock works is also very unique. They seprit the clock menus
from the regular player menu. That is ausom! Also the fact that all
features are now available on the unit without the need for a softpack
installation. And now it can do line in recording. It no longer
support recording of 3gp but mp3 and wave only. That is just fine. As
far as I no about the wifi situation, you have to either type in the
network info manually, or scan for the network and add it that way.
You might be able to add an incrippted network but I doubt it can
sync. Although you can confirm that with humanware. Maybe someone on
the stream list will no more there. And they might also help with the
nls thing, I never saw any notes regarding the presents of such
adapter like the old one. And I'm not in the US, and I didn't see the
player yet. Hope this help a bit.

Seems to be a bigger phone with larger buttons,

 Subject: Siemens bluetooth Cordless Phone System

 Hi everyone!
 Got my new Siemens cordless phone late last week, it has quite a few
 features which may interest some so thought I’d give it a mini review
 here.
 The first thing which sets this phone apart from most other cordless
 phones is its size and looks, one could be forgiven for mistaking the
 handset as a mobile phone its that small and yet the base is just a
 big black box with a single button on it.
 I bought this phone not because of the size so much but because it can
 be used with a Bluetooth headset, actually it can be used with many
 bluetooth devices including your mobile phone so this alone makes the
 system very flexible as you can transfer items from your mobile to the
 Siemens phone such as contacts etc.
 You can purchase an optional accessaries cable which allows
 synchronisation of your contacts and such from your computer to the
 phone, you can also use the phone’s bluetooth to do this.
 So back to the phone itself, hands free is amongst the best I’ve
 heard, its not harsh sounding but yet is quite loud. Those who have
 heard the hands free from the Siemens report that it sounds crisp and
 clear.
 The model I have has an answering service built-in, again the
 answering service itself seems to be in the handset. When calls arrive
 and the answering machine is triggered you can hear the caller leaving
 a message through the loudspeaker on the handset, “Call Screening”, I
 suspect that this feature can be disabled should you wish to do so,
 haven’t fully read the manual yet and believe me its going to take
 quite a bit of time to read as its damn thick.
 There’s a “Record” button on the handset so I suspect that you can
 record voice memos, maybe even record phone calls in some countries
 which allow that sort of thing.
 We’re all familiar with the control one has over just about every
 aspect of a mobile phone? The same applies to this cordless phone
 system, custom ring tones, distinctive ringing, SMS tones, alarm
 tones, calendar tones and even a vibrating alert.
 I was first made aware of the Siemens cordless phone range thanks to a
 tipoff from some friends of mine in the U.K. who recently bought
 themselves one.  The model range over there is different to what it is
 in Australia and may be different again in the U.S.
 I have a fondness for bluetooth devices as they can connect through
 the Tek Controller which I’ve mentioned previously to my hearing aids.
 I had a Uniden cordless phone which had bluetooth audio and it wasn’t
 too bad at all.
 There don’t seem to be too many places in Australia who stock the
 Siemens range so you may have to do a little searching.
 Siemens in Australia have a web site for their cordless phones which
 contains much information including downloads of owners manuals.
 Be warned however that some of the models featured have touch screens
 and thus would be next to useless I would think to totally blind
 people though if you have someone set up

Hello.  I use Comcast, and as far as I know, can't be done.  I am 
thoroughly disgusted that we're being left out regarding 
accessibility of set-top boxes.  It's like the old days of 
cellphones; you could use the phone to call people by dialing, but 
you couldn't use the other 90% of the phone's features.  For that 
reason, I went from Verizon to AtT because they had Talks.--Matthew Chao

High Hank,
I am still talking to Dish Network Direct TV and all of the cable 
companies about that.
Ok they're coming out with new satellite dish receivers and cable 
converters that can do allot of cool things.
But if you can't see your TV screen to take advantage of those 
cool things, what good is it doing you the blind consumer?
This is why I feel that we are being left out of the market place 
when it comes to something like this.
But if allot of us blind people tell Dish Network Direct TV and 
the cable companies that this is a must for us, they mite listen to us.
But for now, the only way for us to control our satellite dish 
receivers, is with and through our computers.
I don't know this to be true about cable converters yet, I am 
still doing my homework on that one.

Hello all list members,
I just heard this from: www.dishnetwork.com
in about a month or so, they are releasing a new HD receiver 
that has the Sling Box built in to it.
This eliminates the need for a separate Sling Box to be used 
with your currant HD receiver.
This is good news for those of us that like to record TV shows 
and watch them on our computers.

But don't take my word for it, check it out on the link above.
My best regards.

You will need to use iTunes to delete items from the unit.


2.  If I don't buy movies from Itunes, can I copy movies to my

I don't know the answer to that one.

iPods are all about playing video as well as music.

Re: Help with voiceovers in Sound Forge

Hello, I'm using Sound Forge 9 right now. It's been about nine years 
since I used the voice over options, specifically the one where the 
music lowers in response to the voice on another file. Where do I 
find this option again, and how do I go about it? I need a refresher 
course. Also, is it possible to render just the files separately, 
such as getting the processed music file with the volume drop in 
music, but not the voice? I'm not sure if the music file could then 
be used with other voice files, since the volume drop depends on the 
specific qualities and volume of the voice that was used in the 
first place. So direction on this would be helpful.

Thanks a lot.

Yes it is.  If you go to lightscribe.org and download LightScribe Simple
Labeller, you can write a label on the disk.  You probably can't include
all the track names, but you can easily put your name and the name of
the disk.
You need a burner that is enabled with LightScribe and disks that are
LightScribe enabled.
When you are done burning the music to the disk, flip the disk over in
the same drive and go to the LightScribe burning program.  Open it and
follow the prompts.
There are other LightScribe programs that permit creation of fancier
disk labels, but I haven't tried those.
Sonic and Nero and I presume Roxio all have LightScribe labelling
components to them.
