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

Just curious. So the sound through the tech controller is good then? And

Wonder if the handset is hearing aid compatible and will work with the
loop induction coil in a hearing aid?

Yep, I hear the handset through both ears with the Tek Connect and my hearing
aids.

I'm looking at the phone now and it has a dock connector so i wouldn't surprise
me if that had an audio out as part of its connection so given that? Well it
probably wouldn't take long to rig up an attachment to a necklace loop or
something similar, perhaps Siemens themselves - given that they
Hi All,

Hello, Dane and List,
I have a tunable, twin coil antenna from C. Crane and it's great. It's an
active device, capable of both battery and ACCORDING operation.
I wonder if this is the same one you reviewed or whether it's a new model. I
can't wait to read or hear your review.

Hi Gary,
I've never seen one, but try media coder. It is open source and can convert
many audio and video files.

Just a note: .mpg files are MPEG-4 videos, not audio files. If you
download Audacity and the FFmpeg plug-in, as well as the Lame codec for
Audacity, you'll be able to import the video and then export it as a new
format such as MP3, OGG, etc.

I have a program on my home PC that works well with JAWS 12. It is free and
you don't install it. You just unzip the files into a folder and run the
.exe file. I don't remember the exact name or web address but will send it
tonight sometime.

Pity especially if you consider that Siemens also manufactures hearing aids.
It costs almost nothing to add the extra coil in the handset and it takes up
almost no space at all.

True but you should be able to use the thing with only your hearing aid and
no external connections. All telephones from the US I believe now have to
be hearing aid compatible. It's quite common nowadays even in very cheap
phones.

That's problem with most cordless phones these days given that they use
digital technology to communicate between handset and base thus a lot of
interference to induction loop devices is generated.
The Uniden sets I have here have t-coil loops built-in, they work yep but you
still get a bit
Actually I just went back to the catalogue of where I bought the phone and yep,
Siemens make a cordless phone which is branded hearing aid compatible so I'm
guessing from this that it would have an induction loop facility though it
doesn't seem to have some of the features that mine has.

I choose better codecs over ease of use any day, but that's just me. If
something works for you and produces the results you want, then carry on
using what you feel comfortable with.

I completely agree with you! Do you know if Audacity uses the better codecs?
It just seems more complicated to install those plugins and to handle them,
if you, say, just wanted one file converted.

The free version of Switch can also convert mpg's to mp3's.
Unfortunately, I can't fetch the URL are at the moment, so I realize
this may not be a very satisfactory answer.

I'm not sure what codecs/codec versions Mediacoder actually uses (not
sure if they publish the information on their website), but the Audacity
developers make no secret of the codecs/versions that are used by their
software. Plus I trust the integrity of FFmpeg to decode files
properly. I'm
I once paid much more than that for a handy little portable which gave me a
huge frequency range together with 2 different fm modes, AM, two single
sideband modes and CW. And that was more than 200$ I can assure you!!

Hi, James and other audacity users,
Is Audacity fully accessible and is there a tutorial for screenreader users?
I'd like my students to use Audacity, but haven't a clue how well I can
access it?

Yeah I know but the general view is that AM radio today let alone FM in
a portable is an afterthought so make em cheap and who gives a stuff
about quality, sensitivity, selectivity or anything else as most people
just won't pay the price, they want to listen, for as little money as
possible
I believe you live in South Africa? I'm told that South Africa has
blessed the world - let alone its own population - with some of the best
radio sets ever to set foot upon the planet.

Hi Alex,
What would you like to do with Audacity?
What screen readers do your students use?
If you are just doing simple recording, then the easy shortcuts will get you
started.
R for record
L to listen
S to Stop
If you want to do more such as effects, please contact me.
Kind Regards

We get stuff from overseas of course but in Africa people still do a lot of
