Subject: [bookport] New member in the market for a talking book player
I'm Rob. I just joined the list. I was unsure which unit to buy (the Victor
Reader Stream or the Book Port) but after having heard the description of the
current book port, it sounds like I'd like the Book Port. My only concern is
how the new unit will look (mainly the keypad) - has anyone seen it? I've
heard it has an SD card and other various improvements which sounds good, but
the keypad makes me nervous (understand that I'm coming from Victor products).
Could anyone provide input on this please? Thanks. :)

Bob,
Hate to disappoint you but APH has had to put the development of the new
BookPort on hold indefinitely due to problems out of their control. And the
current model is probably sold out too by now.

The keypad is like a standard telephone, with six rows of 3. 1,2,3 on
the top row, 4,5,6 on the second, 7,8,9 on the third, *,0,pound, on
the fourth, A,B,C on the fifth, and D,E,F on the final row, hope that
helps you out Rob and welcome to the list, I'm sure you'll benefit
greatly from this experience, Chela Robles

Subject: [bookport] Web browser transference and speech
Two things I was also curious about. (1) I know the current Book Port works
with IE file downloads, but why should it matter what kind of web browser
that the file comes from? I use Fire Fox and aren't they the same HTML file
regardless? (2) Also, in regards to the speech, any plans to include a
secondary
synth? I don't mind the DoubleTalk in small bits, but if I had to listen to
it for several hours I'd freak because it sounds somewhat robotic (and I know
what robotic is - I have a 1993 Braille 'n Speak that can't even pronounce
the word Ireland right LOL).

HTML is pretty much the same regardless of browser used. When it comes
to downlaods, it makes no difference which broswer is used.
As to speech, since the new BookPort is on hold, there is always a faint
possibility, very remote chance, of this being addressed...if the BP that
was in development is totally scrapped and APH starts over again.
On the other hand, using the current BP if you have ine, is to send text
files thru another program such as K1000 or Text Aloud and saving it as
audio using different speech.

Subject: [bookport] Announcements and questions
Do announcements pertaining to the bookport come to this list? Also I have a
few other questions. One is whether or not the Book Port 2 is still going to
come to the market (though I understand the time is a complete mystery right
now), and also, for those of you who have Book Ports (i'm assuming most
people do) and have tried the Victor Reader series of players (such as the
Wave
or Stream) what do you think of the two? A third and final question is - what
is the difference between the Book Port and Book Courier? It looks to me like
they're the same unit.

Rob,
Yes we get announcements and updates here on this list. The BP 2
project is on indefinite hold.
It is prefered that any discussion on this list be limited to the
BookPort.
As I understand it, the Book Courier lacks the braille input features.
I am not sure of any other differences.

I have seen the truth and it makes no sense.

In answer to your last question, the Bookport will do a lot more than
the Book Courier. The Courier is not a notetaker, for example.
We don't know anything definite about Bookport2. APH is still hoping
to release it. Anything new about its release will be announced on this
list.

From information I gleaned from an article in, Access world, I believe Larry
and the development gang are concentrating on the Icon's sister, Braille
Plus.
