[bcab] Re: talking ipod mentioned by ian on In Touch

Dear Steve
I have Daniel by Dolphin on my system would this work on the Nano? and what is 
a sape voice is it  a synthetic voice? sorry, but I know i don't know much 
about techy things, i do liek to learn about them. So i think next Tuesday will 
be a learning curve for me at the London version of Sight Vilage. 
i will check Brian out at Tandt consultancy and have a look at the nano .
All for now

Jane

  Hi jane,

   

  Yes, you don't need JAWS to use the Nano.  In fact you don't need any screen 
reader, just a SAPI voice installed on your computer.

   

  All the best

   

  Steve

  dear Charles,

  I noticed you mentioned about real speak in Jaws, but if you don't have Jaws, 
can you still use the Nano? I don't use Jaws, I use another screen reader and 
wondered how easy i would find it?

    Steve, 

    Thanks for this. 

    I do have the Real Speak Solo voices from a previous version of JAWS and it 
is great to think that these could be transferred to a Nanno to 4th Generation 
to make menus, playlists and the like speak. I don't mind using the Nanno's 
wheel if I am given some audio feedback. 

    As you are using the new Nanno, had you to go through many procedures to 
have the voices sent to it, via ITunes, from your PC? Do the voices take up a 
lot of space on the Nanno? If I have the Real Speak Solo SAPI 5 voices 
installed with my JAWS, do I need to point ITunes to my JAWS folder? Are there 
any instructions written down, in electronic format, explaining installation 
and subsequent use of the voices on the Nanno? 

    Thanks in advance. 

    Many Thanks, With Kind Regards,

    Hi Charles, 
      
    You can't use Solo Direct voices, as they are not SAPI5 voices.  The Nano 
and Itunes will only support SAPI5 voices.  But if you have an oearlier version 
of JAWS, like V8, you get the Realspeak SAPI voices on that CD, so you could 
install them and use Realspeak. 
      
    Yes, I use the iPod Nano 4G 16GB version, and it is great.  Once you get 
used to manipulating the wheel, it is not difficult. 
      
    All the best 
      
    Steve

    Richard, 

    You mention the 4th Generation Nanno. Do these come by default with 
capability for speech enabling the menus etc? 

    If so, could you or someone on the list please let me know if you are 
already using such a device as a blind person with speech and how you find it 
to use? How easy is it to set up and, if you import the speech from the PC via 
ITunes, is this effectively your speech synthesizer, e.g. Realspeak Solo Direct 
voices? 

    Is there anywhere on the web I can read further about this particular type 
of functionality? I guess there might not be much of it in Apple's standard 
blurb on the Nanno. 

    I am not too keen on using ITell, as this would involve me in another piece 
of kit, in addition to the Nanno itself. 

    Thank you in advance. 

    Many Thanks, With Kind Regards,

    Hi, 
     
    I don't listen to In Touch so don't know which one precisely you're looking 
for, but... 
     
    1.  The 4th Generation Nano can be obtained from various sources such as 
     
    http://www.dabs.com 
     
    or 
     
    http://www.amazon.co.uk 
     
    This one is very small and uses iTunes to install speech from your PC onto 
the Nano.  The 16gb version costs arond £143. 
     
    2.  The iTell works with the iPod Classic and can be got from 
     
    http://www.cobolt.co.uk 
     
    The iTell is a separate remote control which plugs into the iPod and has 
tangible buttons to press rather than the iPod wheel.  It costs around £70 on 
top of which, of course, you will need to buy the iPod. 
     
    Hope this helps. 
     
    Regards
