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

Hi all,
 
I recently bought an I-Tell, in readiness for the day when I would get a IPod 
to go with it.  That day has come, so please can someone remind me of the best 
IPods to look for, which will be I-Tell Compatible?
 
Thanks,
Clive

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 <http://www.dabs.com/>  
  
or 
  
http://www.amazon.co.uk <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 <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 
  
Richard Bartholomew
