Thanks, Dianne.
I also found that using real headphones (the type that go completely over
the ear) helped quite a bit. With the walkman type, I was getting a lot of
extraneous noise in through my hearing aids, plus quite a bit of discomfort.
Can someone direct me to how I move downloaded books into my bookshelf?
Proir to using the DAISY reader, I simply downloaded books into a file on my
hard drive. Also, is it permissionable to change the bookshare download
file into a more readable name? In other words, how can I change the file
name so it is just the book title?

Hello, Deborah,
I, too, have hearing difficulties with about a 70% loss on my left side in
the extreme frequencies. I use my BrailleNote or VoiceNote to read
Bookshare books and generaly have to lower the pich in order to be
comfortable. I believe I am using the Elequence speech on my units which
has worked out well for me. I personally haven't had the greatest luck
with the DAISY formatted works because the BrailleNote software seems to
lock up and does not move through the book as it should, something with
which I am quite disappointed. Therefore, I am simply using BRF
formatting.
Also, within the Kurzweil scanning software, tere is a disk which contains
other voice choices which might work directly on your computer. Others
will know more about that, I am sure.
.
Good luck with all of this.
Dianne Phelps and
Guide Dog, Primrose

Hi Deborah,
I can't help with your Daisy question, but I just wanted to say that
there are many different speech synthesizers with various pitches and
intonations. So if at first you have trouble hearing or understanding
certain synthesizers well, maybe some of us on the list can help you
check out different ones until you find one that you're comfortable with.
Hope this helps, and welcome to the list,
Kellie
