I can send you the user guide in pdf if you like.

Format is all over the place, but it may give you a flavour of what's on
offer.

You can set the recorder to speak in French if you wish.
Also, voice guidance is on by default, i.e. the first time you power up you 
have the option of turning it off.

how would a blind person turn on the voice guidance though? I assume also
the menus if i wish can be spoken in french for me as well as the voice
commands? all I need to do now is find an accessible user guide to read up
on all it can offer before i purchase

can you speed up the guided menus speeds?
maybe it can't read memory left as it uses recorded human speech

I haven't got it to speak memory information, i.e. how much is left,

I'm not doing it properly.

It doesn't speak time and date setting, although this can either be

done

via

voice command, or using the bundled software.

The DM-5 does talk, not all functions though.

Hi Will, it seems to have a very similar spec. Did they ever release

the

DM4? I remember earlier in the year someone on the list replying to

one

of

my posts asking about the DM550 that they'd been due anytime to

release

the

DM2 and DM4. At the time I checked the info about them on the site,

but

heard nothing further, then the DM5 was announced. I wonder if they
renumbered the models. As I say, the spec looks the same. Both have 8

gb

of

onboard memory, and both will take up to a 32 gb card, and both have

Daisy

capability. I've searched since for any sign of the DM4, but haven't

found

anything.

Hi John

Mics are fixed, but can be altered electronically, e.g. to give a

wider

stereo effect.

I'll check the specs in the hope that they will answer your other

question.

Hi Tony, just use the internal mics. Are the mics fixed or can you 
angle

them? Are they condensers or dynamic?

Hi Again

What kind of demo would you like?

I can take a walk around Senlis later, and knock something up

after.


Would you like me to use just the built in mics, or an external

microphone

as well?

Cheers

The RNIB had said they were going to record a sight village

podcast

on

the

DM5 and put it up for download. So much for RNIB promises. Empty

words

and



a

lot of song and dance coming to nothing.
It'll be interesting if Tony can do a demo. It'd like to hear how 
the

microphones compare with the zoom H2 and the Edirol 09-HR.

Hi everybody, I understood from the previous thread re the DM5

that

the
RNIB were going to stock it. That was backed up by what the RNIB 
said

both prior to and at Sight Village.

As I noticed from the Hagger Electronics website the DM5 is now
available here I rang the RNIB to check on availibility.

According

to
Mark they're not going to be selling it. All they've got are the 
450

and

550.
Could anyone in the know confirm what the exact position is. Are 
they

going to stock it or not, and if so when? I'd like to get one,

and

I'd

rather not wait months and months for it.

             John.
