RE: Humanwear Victor Reader Stream Trek

[Peter Scanlon]

Good point you make about those seconds wasting time. 
Today, so much time can be wasted deleting crap emails or social media
stuff, that wastes time in business or study.
Especially as it takes us longer to identify a not wanted message than a
sighted person.

Hey Mary,
You are so perfectly right, and to tell you the truth it's not only blind
people who feels this way.
But fascion is playing many of it's tricks on people you know.
Also a dedicated device for special needs is wonderful.
For example with a Victor you don't really need to care about power loss or
battery drainage.
Charge it once every second day, and you can read on and on as long as you
like.
Also manipulating the audio is a time consuming process. Lets say you need
to go to a certain page in a daisy book with touch, or find a special fraze.
This is technically speaking possible, but will always and I mean always
take much longer with touch then with regular keys.
If you're a student and is planning to study for 5 years these seconds
becoming minutes becoming hours, becoming days, actually counts against the
biological human clock, and would be a great unnecessary waist of precious
time.
Yes off course I do own the app Voice Dream Reader, and loves it, but
believe me. I use my Stream 95 % of the time instead.
I could use my nice Hims U2, and honestly don't know why I don't. Maybe
because of it's size. But this little handy pocket device feels more like
reading a real book then using apps for all purposes in life. :-)

Best regards
Brian

The good thing about Victor is it has real buttons. No need for voice command. 
I agree doing voice command in public can be a problem.

VoiceCommands as an adjunct to an existing device could be good, although I 
really can’t imagine using one out in public with GPS or or on a bus or 
whatever. That’s why say it should be an adjunct if they did it. But doesn’t 
the stream run on Linux? My guess is there aren’t any APIs that would let them 
use, for instants, Alexa. For my money, with the exception of doing things on 
the actual device, his voice assistance are vastly overrated. More often than 
not, you get something that makes you look on the web for what they found, or 
you get a non-response. We are definitely not in the Star Trek days, so the 
fact that human where hasn’t come out with something actually like a home or an 
echo makes perfect sense to me. If they just came out with one of the speaker 
things, nobody would buy it. Why would you want to buy a specialized speaker 
made by humanware, when the mainstream ones are after all voice activated. What 
possible value add it could there be? That’s why I say having some kind of 
voice deal that would actually let you use your device with voice under the 
right circumstances could be good.

RE: software to tag mp3 files?

It’s the ability to do it with multiple files that is needed. 
For me I get confused with the conversion process 
Where you need to put in a series of characters such as %artist% - %album% - 
%track% - %title%

RE: listening to time signals using pc?

[Peter Scanlon]

AM Radio stations used to have time signals on the hour. Not many still use 
this. 
I think it’s a pity.

Subject: Re: listening to time signals using pc?

The simplest explanation is that a time signal allows you to calibrate your 
time piece manually.

Let's go back in time say to when WWV first went on the air back in the late 
1920's.

At that time, clocks and other time pieces weren't too reliable and - in some 
cases - needed to be calibrated daily with a Time Signal, WWV being one of the 
earliest around.

So you tuned your radio to WWV and waited for the stroke on the 0 second of the 
minute, "58, 59 0", long note which started the count up to the next 0 second 
of the next minute.

WWV has announcements to indicate the time coming up, "At The Time 9 Hours 48 
Minutes Co-ordinated Universal time", that way the person setting the time 
piece has time to be ready for the 0 second stroke.

Of course modern-day time signals such as WWV/WWVH do far more than that these 
days and there's a whole host of different signal services around.

The future of time signals is shaky given that most clocks now can adjust 
themselves thanks to the Internet or an Atomic Clock time signal so no need for 
a human to be involved in the calibration process.

You can find more details about WWV etc on Google - despite what you might hear 
from those who ought to know better > - and Wikipedia.

Curious. I recorded this with Sound forge. However it also recorded the Jaws

I tested the recording processs on a YouTube file and it just recorded the

One of Sangean's biggest markets is Europe and Europe use either DAB or

There's at least one model of Sangean I know of which is marketed in the

The crucial thing is here to make sure that - whatever Sangean radio you buy

Hi Guys,

Seeing that many of you appear to be VRS users.

I recently considered buying one rather than another mainstream Internet
radio as a preference to listening to streaming radio stations on my I
phone.

I was initially told the internet radio on the VRS was simple to use and had
35 pre sets.

A couple of folk then said stick with your I phone for internet radio 

 

Peoples views would be appreciated.

 

My main criteria is stable streaming, as an example my I phone cuts out much
more often than my static Roberts internet radio.

Where do we think the technology in the VRS sits 

Thanks

Hello,

 

I'm looking to purchase a large capacity card to store a large quantity of
OTR shows encoded in MP3 format on. I'm sick of swapping 64 GB cards for
listening to various genres saved on several SD cards. Just want one big boy
card to put the majority of them on.

 

What is the largest capacity SD card the Victory Reader Stream can handle?
Also what is the best brand to buy that will last the longest period of
time?

 

Thanks for any recommendations.

VLC has a Jump To command if that's the sort of thing you're talking about

Now before everyone gets upset I should point out that my view is only a

Daisy titles usually come from library's? That's fine if you like that sort of

What you don't realize is that for some folks who are deaf or hard of hearing, 
or people like me who travel on trains and planes, having the ability to use 
headphones and charge your phones is pretty important. 
I resent having a substantive capability taken away for the sake of "thinness".

Yeah not much was said but it sounds like they are more wireless than blue 
tooth. They talked trach about blue tooth. I mean just to say that they didn't 
seem keen to use it. So I guess it's some kind of wireless like wireless 
headphones and keyboards use. Which for distance is much better. Leo Laporte 
and Andy Anatco were pissed about the jack. They kept insisting that they could 
have kept it. But that would mean the phone would have to be wider at best. 
Right? AAlso I agree with Shiller time to cut the cord. Cords always tangle 
especially the cheep spegetty cord like Apple themselves use for the ear pods. 
Or you could axidentally step on them and break something like I've done to my 
Bose OE2I head phone kable. Stuff like that. I agree it's not fare for those 
that have bought mad expensive stuff that is corded but oh well se la vi. At 
least they give ya an adaptor.

Indeed it has and no real surprises.
The headphones socket has gone to make way for another speaker - thus stereo 
speakers which should dramatically improve the sound of the phone - and that 
can only be a plus.
According to the blurb I read the iPhone comes with two very nice additions, a 
lightning dock to 3.5MM headphones adapter and a set of Airbuds, interesting to 
know whether these use AirPlay, Bluetooth or yet another standard? I wasn’t 
presented with much information on them.
No mention of atpX unfortunately, at least we have the dock where we can plug 
in DAC’s if better sound is what we’re after or we have AirPlay.
I’ll still be holding onto my iPhone 6 having spent a small fortune on the 
Arcam DAC .

I didn’t have the problem you had but I’m curious nevertheless.

did you have Sound Forge Audio studio 10 installed on your computer before

upgrade and I’ve not had any issues thankfully, in fact the only issues I 
had with the upgrade were easily fixed, one was my fault as I didn’t have 
the latest version of Window-Eyes installed when I did the upgrade to

Subject: A Near Perfect Tabletop Radio?

I believe I've found to be a near perfect tabletop radio, the DDr-63 
which comes from our good friends at Sangean

The bad parts first, this radio has a touch screen however one can 
either use the Remote control or the Sangean Remote App if one has an 
iPhone or Android devce.

On my system I can't get the Sangean App to work on my iPhone for 
whatever reason but it works fine on my Samsung Galaxy S6 Android phone.

The DDR63 is literally packed with features and here are a few.

USB port for playback of music from a memory stick.
CD Player equipped with MP3 playback function.
Digital DAB/DAB+ for models in Australia and Europe.
Pandora connectivity
IOS dock
DLNA compatibility for playing music from a Mac, Windows machine or NAS 
storage
Recording of a source to SD card or USB device.

The radio even sounds quite nice thanks to its wooden cabinet and the 
sound can be further tweaked by the use of the EQ settings or you can 
customise the bass and treble controls to your liking.

Unfortunately there's no way for a person without vision to set either 
of the two alarms but I do know that the display is very clear - I have 
this on good authority from those who can see it - so if you're part of 
a couple then this unit would certainly be a great bedside companion for 
the two of you.
Other nice stuff include both an analog and digital line-out, aux-in and 
headphone socket.

The problem with all this forward thinking is that it leaves the hearing
impaired out. Jonathan Mosen has done some very good writing on this topic.
I personally have the equipment to deal with the loss of the headphone jack.
But in thinking of what it will mean for others, I think it is a stupid idea
at this time and, if it is just to make the damned phone a hair thinner, it
is clearly not worth it and is just another  money-making angle for Apple.
But this one is coming at the expense of a fairly  large and growing segment
of the population.

Set Top Boxes running Android are everywhere, there’s even a Remix Mini TV

As I said earlier the Android TV is exactly that, a TV running Android Lollypop 
with all the stuff a TV should have - Electronic Programme guide etc - with the 
usual stuff, dedicated Netflix and Youtube functions, dedicated Google 
Chromecast streaming, facilities to use Apps from the Play store, Voice search 
and so on.

The system is without its flaws of course, I believe that the Electronic 
Programme Guide is a little difficult to access for example but I’m hoping that 
perhaps their may be a workaround so one thing at a time, I’m hoping to have 
the TV in around 3 weeks from now.

Instead of trying to use regions why don't you just select the portion 
of sound - say from beginning to end of track - and save the selection 
to a separate file?

That way the procedure will work whatever editor you use whether that be 
Sound Forge, Goldwave, Amadeus Pro, Total Recorder or anything else.

Greetings,

If you want to save parts of a file but not the whole as individual items,
select each area in tern, by marking start and end with start and end
markers, then in the file menu there is a save selection as, give it a name
and save.  If you require to save the whole file as tracks, such as if
you've a concert and would like to save each item as a track, this is when
the cue-markers become useful.

In this case, you ensure first you are at the start of the  file, once you
begin to work with cue-markers, you cannot make any changes to the file, so
ensure first, all edits Etc. are finished and the original file saved.
also, be aware it is always wisest to work with files uncompressed, i.e when
still in their .wav (or other) formats, not .mp3  or other compressed types.
The more processing a file has undergone, i.e compresion and de-compression,
the more sound degredation will occur and once quality has been lost, it
cannot be retrieved.

So, having made sure the file is as you want it, go to it's start and insert
the first cue-mark, control with q.  Now go on through the file, stopping
where the next cue-mark is to be placed, I always first make sure by placing
a start marker i.e left bracket then ensuring cursor is at start marker by
pressing my home key, then issue control with q.  Continue until you've
reached the start for the last track and issue the control with q.

Now, you are ready to split the file into it's items.

In the edit menu, go to the cue-markers function which I think is open menu
and cursor up to the sub-menu, arrow right into the submenu and down to the
split file.  Note, you can change cue-markers as there is a list of the ones
you have set but I strongly advise keeping it simple for now, go to the
split file within the menu.  I cannot remember the tabs here, think they are
self-explanatory, eventually you will find a save button, enter on this and
ensuring you save into a location you want, allow it to work.

You should end up with a set of tracks, what their names will be depends on
how you process these tabs, but I tend to make then save as Track nnn (the
first being 001) into a folder set aside for such matters.

Then (I use Winamp) play the folder ensuring you have saved what you
intended, if happy, close the file from which you saved the tracks but
unless you want to keep the cue-markers, don't save the file.

Cue-markers cannot be saved in a file other than, so far as I am aware, .wav
format, if you try and save them, GW will warn you no way! but they can be
saved in a file of the same name if I recall rightly, with the exdtension of
".cue" this will happen in the same folder in which the file from which you
extracted the tracks, is saved.

Remember, I am using GoldWave V5.70, the last which works with WindowsXP how
V6.anything differs, as of now, I know not for though I have V6.14, have not
yet installed on my W7 machine.

Interesting, I thought we’d gone beyond using scripts for Skype now, it seems

Microsoft addressing many accessibility issues.

Its great that people are writing scripts but I don’t like to use them when I 
can avoid doing so as they isolate the user from the way the running App 
actually works so therefore you’re tied to one system or one Screen Reader and 
thus don’t have the knowledge of how functions are used in the App itself, only

I’m just saying SPL is very good, and most importantly very accessable. There 
are other DJ software, but not so accessable.

“stop recording. 
You can also set up a Scheduled recording. As long as you choose

If you are looking for a program on the pc side that is a good editor I 
use golswave. Despite opinions to the dcontrary, you can make just as 
tight edits in goldave as ou can in sound forge. I think a lot of it is 
simply what hyou are used to in terms of an editor. Jonathan Mosen, for 
example, who used to be a big proponent of sound forge, told me recently 
that on the pc side he now uses studio recorder for most of his pc 
editing needs. Now studio recorder doesn't have all the bells and 
whistle that sound forge does, noise reduction, ability to use plug-ins, 
etc, but for just plain editing it apparently works very well.

So you're telling me that the keyboard access is the only reason you 
bought Sound Forge Pro for?

Many Many other audio editing packages have very good keyboard access 
and shortcuts including Studio Recorder, Total Recorder, Goldwave, 
Wavepad and so the list goes on and further to this, all these packages 
have facilities for customising the access.

As I stated previously, many of the features and functions of Sound 
Forge 11 pro are purely visual and they don't have keyboard access to them.

The other problem here also seems to be blind loyalty - pardon the pun 
-, people buy a product - in this case Sound Forge -, they've spent so 
much money on the product so therefore they're hoping beyond hope that 
everything will work as it did in Sound Forge 4.5 and they're not 
looking to try anything new even though times and software are a 
changing and that's unfortunate as those people miss out on anything 
that actually works.

Sony Creative Software have never been interested in accessibility and I 
doubt they ever will be whereas other products have come along where the 
developers are interested in accessibility and take note of user 
feedback, there's a lot of competition out there.

A classic case in point is Sonar, I know someone who spent literally 
thousands over time on Sonar this and Sonar that, upgrades and all the 
rest of it.

I encouraged him to try Reaper and.. well.. he wished he'd known about 
it earlier and he's furious with himself for spending a fortune on 
Sonar, of course its not his fault but I do give him credit for having 
the courage to try another product and just not blindly follow on.

Finally, I doubt whether 99% of Sound Forge Pro users - whether Blind or 
Sighted - would even use a quarter of the functions offered so we're 
back to square one, why spend so much money?

Hi Peter
It depends. If you added the scheduled entry yourself manually using a 
stream URL you found and copied to your clipboard and used the add show 
button within RR9 and if you know the start time for your station or show 
then you can do as you wish with the local time and UTC. The start recording 
time and UTC should be the same for your time zone. For example, if I add a 
radio station or show manually myself and I know the start time is for 
Eastern time zone USA and Canada which is -5 hours and I know its starts at 
7:00 PM EST /  1900 hours I would put 7:00 PM for the start recording time 
and check to be sure the UTC combo box reflects my time zone which is -5 
hours USA and Canada.

So to recap here your show or station starts at 7:00 PM you would put 7:00 
PM and put the TZ time zone to your local time zone also.

If you add a show or station from the replay guide use those default 
settings except when you know the TZ time zone is incorrect.
Say I add this station from California that is in the Pacific time zone 
which is -8 hours and I see the UTC within the scheduler saids -5 hours then 
I will correct it myself.

Nothing wrong with video, but it should have been more useful to blind viewers, 
with audio explanations of what was on screen. I got very little out of it.

What's wrong with making a youtube video?
everything else is in text. the web page is text, the project sight is
text, etc. What is wrong with a video so that sighted people can
actually see the thing?
and if they're trying to get it premoted that is because they need
backing. I don't see anything wrong with that.
I really think people should be told about this.

I agree, I would be cautious about such claims.  Personally, I would much
prefer to have information from a human rather than technology.  Also, it
could result in over reliance on Horus, and it is something extra that has
to be carried.

I've seen a lot of these so called miracle devices over the years, and
whilst in no way do I want to dispel the hope that something like this might

agree that it does sound great, but the technical aspects of how the device
works aren't explained at all. I'd be keen to find out exactly how it does
the things it says it does.

Download the Player.exe from

Install it and agree to terms.
Start the player.
Insert a CD and wait till it's recognized.
Pres control+p to export the information in the player.ini.
Open CDEx and cancel the process of searching the data base.
Press alt and navigate to the right to CDDB.
Press arrow down till you find "Read from player.ini" and hit enter.
The information should be there.
I only very rarely have a CD that the combination of FreeCDDB and Gracenote

The hosting for the pc audio list and the domain name will expire at the end

 I actually think it has something to do with your reliance on

is too good to waste as such. I can host pC-Audio on my DreamHost

everything. I won't charge you, and we can see how you like it that way. 
Alternatively, subscribe to Google Apps pro, host your domain there and 
use Google Groups on said domain, and have rock solid lists for as long 
as you like. But please...no freelists.

I was just making the point that it is disappointing when this happens. A

Hi Peter and all,
As for Studio's accessibility strides going backwards, I think it might be that 
the developer haven't thought about testing accessibility changes thoroughly. 
Also, this problem came about due to some internal changes to how Studio 
operates (and people had emails back and forth regarding this issue on the SPL 
mailing list).
As for the new kid on the block, it has a potential to be a good alternative to 
SPL - it's far from perfect, but it's getting there.

Hi again!

Just been going through my library.

I have  some tutorials on
Garrage Band and they're in the "Take Control" series, there are two, 
one deals with recording and the other deals with performing.

These are available for purchase and I think your friend will find them 
on the iTunes iBooks store, they're also published in other accessible 
formats.

I remember starting the job of going through one of these but like 
eveyrthing else, there are only 24 hours in day instead of 35 and some 
things get forgotten .

Garage Band query

[Peter Scanlon]

Hi, 
I’m not a Mac user so not a Garage Band user. I am trying to help a woman who 
has a file recorded on Garage Band. she needs to get it into .mp3 format. 

shesays it is in Logic format. Any clue as what she can do please? she is not a 
blind person, so any instruction you give for me to pass on should be in a way 
that a sighted person can relate to.

thanking you in advance, as I need to get this file soon.

Peter Scanlon.

Hi!

Yep, you get Garage Band as standard with your Mac, I've never used it but 
you'll find tutorials on Garage Band at http://www.icanworkthisthing.com these 
tutorials have been written by blind users who use a Mac, you'll find just 
about everything you'll probably want to ever know about Voiceover and Iphone 
up there too! so that's a damn good resource.

As wel as Garage Band you get Quicktime Player, no this application isn't an 
editor but it is a sound recorder so you have that to be going on with at least 
if you want to record something.

As you know I use a variety of recorders and editors with my Mac, my favourite 
recorder would have to be Audio Hijack Pro, records from any app or any sound 
device.  My favourite recorder/editor would have to be Amadeus Pro which 
handles multi track recording/editing too! funny we should be talking about 
multi track recording/editing on pc-audio right now.

Anyway have fun and I'll answer your questions where and if I can, if I can't 
answer them then I'll put you in touch with people who can.

Hi!

Someone on list asked about free CD Ripping Software a little while
ago, I answered with iTunes though of course I didn't realise at
the time that there's probably an even better answer built right
into Windows itself which I assume the questioner was using.

The answer of course is Windows Media Player which — when I last
tried it — was very accessible indeed.

I didn't follow the conversation at the time so perhaps someone
else on list suggested Windows Media Player anyway.

Hep, subject line says everything and this may be round the corner.

I wanted to forward the original eMail on this subject to the list 
however the author of same - as it stands - hasn't given me permission 
to do so as yet and I respect that.


It is hoped that the product will be available with full accessibility 
soon, the developers are actually using JAWS to test their product to 
see just how accessible they can make it.


The other good news will be the price, instead of $499 that you pay for 
the full Station Playlist suite you'll only need to pay $199 for the 
laternative.


Those who are helping the programmers are professional DJ'S and 
Broadcasters in their own right having worked in the field for longer 
than 10 years so they know their stuff.


I hope to be able to bring the list good tidings in the next couple of 
weeks though someone else may beat me to it by forwarding a press 
release .

Re: Article: Spotify Family embraces the modern household

[Peter Scanlon]

Can you tell me a bit about Spotify. How accessable is it?
Can you ldownloadMP3s or is it just to listen to a stream.
Can you do anything for free or what is cost.

[Peter Scanlon]

Have you purchased it?
Do you have the registration numbers?
If so you should be able to download and install?
You can download from the site.

Re: Radiologik Radio Automation Software for Mac

[Peter Scanlon]

This sounds very interesting. I look forward to hearing  about it from 
internet radio DJs. However, it would have to be very very accessible and 
provide very good facilities to get me away from STation Playlist and have 
to learn a whole new operating system as well.

Hi!

Users of Mac machines and dJ software may find the following software 
offering of valuable use particularly as the package is supposed to be 
accessible now? I’m going to find out more and - if I can - take it for a 
test drive.

Hello all,

I am using the stream to listen to radio stations on the internet through my 
wifi.  I also use the line in jacks on my living room stereo to listen to 
the stream , as if I am getting the stations off the air.


How can sighted folks do the same thing?  I hear that there are stand alone 
devices that can play internet radio stations by using wifi in my home.

thanks,

Jerry Howell

Re: victor stream airplane

[Peter Scanlon]

Do you have the wi fi capability set up. This will allow your Victor to 
communicate with your computer network and thus to the internet and radio 
stations.

When I press the "Next" button that comes up, it will retrieve the track 
titles.

What "next" button do you refer to? When I insert the CD, CDEx retreaves the
data from the database FreeCDDB and I press F8 or F9 to extract the content.

This must be set correctly in the options however.

I want to use CdEx.  In the settings, I've entered my email address in

to access the remote freedb DATA BASE; however, when I try ripping a CD
and get the track names and press the next button, they disappear.  Is

there

a step I'm missing?



Just curious.
