Re: opening up the group
¿ªÔÆÌåÓýHI Claire ? The voices on the evo 10/12 are ivona voices I think, it uses Amy and others so they are very clear. I know the new stella treck is far too expensive too, the milestone 312 ace is very good, I am not bothered about the speed of the voice but as long as I can understand it and I do prefer the American voices in any case, I use them on most of my players, some of the english voices are a bit boring. I use my milestone with a bluetooth speaker too so the milestone has several advantages over the stream or evo devices. I have heard that the recording on the evo 12 isn¡¯t as clear as the evo 10. ? ? Regards Adrien ? From: [email protected] <[email protected]> On Behalf Of claire amoroso
Sent: 31 October 2022 11:17 To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [vrstreamuk] opening up the group ? Thanks Adrien. What are the built in voices like in the Evo 10? My Victor Stream 2 is nearly 10 years old so I¡¯m looking for a replacement. The Stellar Trek that Humanware have come out with recently is just an orientation device so perhaps a new book reading device will be out soon ? I¡¯ve used a Milestone 312 in the past and loved it¡¯s small size but found I couldn¡¯t speed up the voices without them sounding choppy and it didn¡¯t work at the time with Bookshare files . Claire? From: [email protected] <[email protected]> on behalf of adrien collins <adriencollins820@...> ? Hi Claire ? Ok this is a good start, this group is very quiet and as a lot of us use more than one player it makes sense to open it up to other similar devices. ? As for the evo 10, it is a very good player, it plays probably more formats then the vr stream mark 2, it isn¡¯t being up-dated I don¡¯t think because they have recently launched the evo 12. I like the evo 10 for playing rnib talking books, haven¡¯t used it for much else, some of it is tricky to set up but once you get it sorted you can back it up. The recording quality on the evo 10 is very good, I used it to record consultations in my surgery a while back and the recordings are very clear. The only real issue I have with it is that it is too easy to press the record button and then lose my place in my book, it is fiddly getting back to my book especially if it is on the external memory. Other than that though it is very good. I have it set up for internet radio, rnib talking books etc. it has other tools on it too, but haven¡¯t really explored these. ? My favourite player right now is my milestone 312 ace wifi, this is very easy to use once you get the hang of it and as they are adding more and more features to it, it is the way to go, they are not up-dating the vrstream mark 2 so I wanted a player I could use which would give me more options. I Hope this helps a bit Claire. ? ? Regards Adrien ? From: [email protected] <[email protected]> On Behalf Of claire amoroso ? Hi Adrien? I would be interested to know your thoughts on the Evo10 and how it compares with the Victor Stream 2 ? Thanks? Claire? From: [email protected] <[email protected]> on behalf of adrien collins <adriencollins820@...> ? Hi ? I was wondering if any members on here had any objections to opening up this group for more of the devices we use with our mp3 books, for example I use the evo10 and milestone 312 ace wifi as well as my vr streams, it would be good to have a group for discussing these devices, I know they are discussed on other groups but as this group is very quiet, try and open it up a bit. Let me know what you think. ? Regards Adrien ? From: [email protected] <[email protected]> On Behalf Of Henry Miller ? ? ? Good Morning Adrien Sorry about that, having a senior moment ?
