I still have my Sony Walkman Pro, and the ECM909 mic that was recommended at the time I bought it, in 1990! It is a stereo mic, as also is the ECM217 'pin mic', which I got seven or eight years later. the latter worked with MiniDisc also, so i think it will work with digital recorders. the (stereo) mic socket on the Walkman Pro was slightly wider than the average (mono) microphone socket on other Walkmans and tape-recorders.

The one microphone is used for stereo effect. However, I do quite a lot of post production on the interviews afterwards, including converting to mono. Stereo is good, but 99 per cent of the time you hear an awful lot of garbage going on behind the two people taking part in the interview. If you analyse it closely, you hear a lot of interesting conversations going on in fact ...

Perhaps it's not all down to the microphone.----- Original Message -----

I noticed that the recordings are in stereo format, so I can hear your voice throu one of the speakers and the person that you interview through the other speaker. I would like to know if you use two microphones, and if so could you please give me the exact model and reference? If you only use one microphone could you explain me how you achieve this stereo effect? If the latter is the case, please also send me the microphone model and reference. I also have a PTR2 recorder which I use to record my psychotherapy sessions with my patients and I would like to obtain the same recording quality. Currently I use a mono Sony microphone (I dond't recall the model but it looks like a square cookie and at the time was very expensive). However the recording quality is not the as good as yours. I also would like to know what bit rate you use for the recordings. Thanks for your help. best regards, Luis----- Original Message ----- From: Terry Clasper

I would not say the Eyepal solo is a book reader, more a short
document reader. As far as I know, it has no way of saving a large
amount of text.

Hi all,
Would I be right in my gleaning that The KNFB Reader is really for
small document reading such as receipts, menus and the like whilst the
Eyepal Solo is
good forr reading books?
I feel now that it is a reading device for scanning/reading books
that I'm after!
Conventional scanners are not what I'm after now as I'd have to
hack many's a great classic and suchlike to bits to scan their rich
pages!
I have the Kurzweil for general documents, letters and so on.
Something tells me too that the picture resolution from those
above named products using a camera would be better.
Tony
