Hi Charles, you may like to check out a couple of podcasts explaining how to use speech on the Nano. Go to www.tandt-consultancy.com and www.blindcooltech.com. Hope this helps.

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

Richard Bartholomew
