Hello, ye I know about that setting, but then you get no feedback even
through the headphones. I'd like to see feedback through the headphones even
when the lock beep out of the bookport's internal speaker is off.

There is an option in the settings to turn the lock beep off.

I don't even have a bookport, though I am ordering one today so try not to
flame me too much. :) I listened to Larry Skutchan's 3rd lesson for the
bookport, on his podcast, so from that I know some about using it. More
questions, hopefully not too bad though. 2 suggestions though, and I thought
with the word beta going around maybe it might be a good idea to post them.
When in the settings on options that have values like pitch, frequency,
volume it would be nice if say the 5 key told you the volue, maybe this
exists, but Larry didn't show it. Suggestion on the lock beep function, that
there's an option to either have the lock beep as it is, or to have bookport
say "locked" through the headphones as the bookcourier does. The external
beep though nice some times can get annoying in a backpack, but most of the
time you wont be pressing keys unless plugged in anyway so I think more than
just me would like that.
On the bookcourier there's a verbosity option so you can have it not
announce what it's doing Does the bookport have this, I didn't see anything
in the manual nor on Larry's podcast, a possible suggestion for adding.
An interesting observation, some of you may remember the Braille n speak, I
think the bookport may have as much editing ability as the old Braille n
speak classic.

Great idea. I've done exactly the same thing with the same results.

hi,
i have a suggestion, i was playing with beta 8.
i went into an empty folder, when i pressed 0 + 9 to enter the folder,
--
bookport just said the folder name, could it say "empty" so you know you
actually went into the folder.
Thanks
Chris
