setting up the Sangean CL100 weather radio

2015-07-17 Thread Philip Hall
Hi.

I just purchased a Sangean CL100 weather/am/FM table top radio.

Using an Optacon, I can sort of read the LCD display.

But, when I attempt to use the menus to set the radio up, the selection
doesn't stay on the display long enough for me to read.

Has anyone set up one of these radios?

If so, I would appreciate some pointers.

 

Many thanks

 

Phil

 this looks pretty good. i don't know why they don't post the price. 
 if the booksence is $499 on sale for $449, i can't imagine what 
 they'll ask for on this one.

 Thanks hammit, You rite, and it always take time to find out those
 spex. And my experience often with these companies is that they mostly
 don't deliver up to that standards. PlexTalk openly said they won't
 higher their bit rate or sampling rate of any of the recorders
 currently. So why would hims be different since they really did not go
 far enough with the booksense. The PlexTalk range record the best of
 them all, and even with them its not as nice as you would get with
 Olympus or zoom. I will do a podcast on the hv-e5 and will post a link
 here once it rich the blind geek zone. I got one up there already
 about the dm620. Its a player made in china with a nice design and
 support most formats in one device like nun of the other players. You
 can even play .dat video files. I don't think its available in the US
 yet, or at least I don't no.

 It sound ok, but we stil don't no if the recording quality is 
 better, we
 don't no anything about the mic used, neither the mic pre amp. And 
 if its
 like the booksense it will just plain sucks. I rather go for the 
 hv-e5. It
 record much better, have better hardware and is much faster. Not 
 even to
 mention how stable the firmware. That is one thing hims just 
 cannot get
 rite, they need to use programmers who no what they doing. Sounds 
 like many
 of them are stil in a learning stage or something. Its simply 
 unexceptable
 that a device keep dying on you and half of the time its not the 
 battery,
 or
 sometimes the battery goes flat, then if you charch again, it 
 won't come on
 unless if you perform an hard reset. Is this going to be tru for 
 this unit?
 I don't really care much about the OCR although I understand why its
 useful.
 The other thing that I'm really disappointed about for this unit, 
 is that
 they used acapela speech. I mean yes I love acapela, but really, just
 because other people do it, they just follow along, don't try 
 something
 else. I mean I just don't get it. But lets wait and see.

 have a monitor? The little spek table that followed didn't say

 those are videos. So you would watch WMV or AVI files. I guess you
 could just listen if it's a song. Like I have a song called

 is creeppy and it's a vid. Though it's an N4V file. But it's the 
 same
 point. It's a video. Very cool.

RE: DVD Ripping Software Info Wanted

2014-02-05 Thread Philip Hall
Hi.
Using your recommendation, I downloaded and installed Freemake Video
Converter.

I have used it to convert several DVDs to avi.

I have a few questions on its use however.
1. Do you have any idea what some of the buttons that Jaws does not read
might do?
2. The DVDS have multiple titles. So far, I have only been able to convert
the first title, title 1.
How would I select other titles from the list, and can Freemake Video
Converter convert multiple titles, or do I have to convert one at a time?

Many Thanks.


Phil

I use DVD Shrink; it's old, but rarely fails. Allows you to only
pick parts of the disc (like the main film but miss out the
trailer, for example) and choose things like which subtitle or
audio track/s you want.

ALso, as the name suggests, will if needed compress the video so
it will fit on a standard writable disc.

See http://www.dvdshrink.org/ .

Any Olympus recorders that can rewind?

2013-09-07 Thread Philip Hall
Hi.
I have been reading all the posts about the different Olympus devices.
I am an instructor, and some of my visually impaired students want a
recorder that will allow them to record my lectures, but when playing it
back, be able to rewind just like a cassette recorder to listen to some
great words of wiz dumb that I may have inadvertently  said without my
notice.
I have played with some of the basic Olympus digital recorders that the
local division of blind services gives to the students, none of which can't
rewind. 
Which of the Olympus recorders can rewind or jump back in a recording like a
cassette?
Do any of them allow setting of bookmarks?

Many thanks.

Phil
