From: [email protected] <[email protected]> On Behalf Of Rea Lists Sent: Wednesday, November 8, 2023 11:11 AM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [dap-uk] Stream 3 - version 1.2 announcement Hello, I have a playlist of all the BBC stations, some 64 streams in all, which can be imported into the Stream 3. If you are able to import a playlist then I could send it in the next day or two. It may be that David Griffiths who's on this list could do you the favour of sending you this list which I found originally on a web page within Get-hub. David corrected the HLS URL for FiveLive sport which did not work correctly in the list I found a few weeks ago. I eagerly awaite notification from my VR3 that the update is available, and I hope it manages to fix the problem I have with Bluetooth not working on my Bose speakers, an issue not mentioned as far as I can see in the bug fixes. I do not find myself overwhelmed at the idea of using Tune-in as I can get pretty well all the stations I need either via playlists I have installed on the VR3 or via my Amazon-enabled speakers to listen to BBC Sounds or a selection of commercial/community stations. I could not listen to Mushroom FM until I enabled the skill for Mushroom put out by Jonathan Mosen. I am not enamoured by Tune-in generally given its time-waisting adverts that insert themselves when using my Google Nest speaker. Ray. On 08/11/2023 10:59 am, ltmmcarter@... wrote: Hi Steve, |

I am not great with touch screens so what do I need to operate my phone by voice, for me this may be a good option for dexterity reasons? Regards Adrien -----Original Message-----

All the best Steve -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] <[email protected]> On Behalf Of Rea Lists Sent: Wednesday, November 8, 2023 11:22 AM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [dap-uk] Stream 3 - version 1.2 announcement I shall always pass on doing it all on a phone given that I skip around a lot to listen to many BBC streams including Northern Ireland at times, but many commercial community ones too. I would put in a mention of the Synapptic adaptation for Android phones here as this does allow for pretty easy and rapid jumping around by voice command as well as a favourites list. Once you've got your head around installing BBC Sounds on a smart speaker then it does become easy to do what I do, jumping around a lot. Mind you I for one did not find the installation/activation of BBC Sounds at all obvious, not to me at least. So I would say that in this wonderfuyl world of digital possibilities I can see a role for volunteers who do know what they are doing and are appropriately cleared for security and turstworthiness to go into people's homes and set it up where necessary.

Hi Matthew ? Ok, thanks for this, looking forward to installing the up-date. Is anything being done to allow us to download either rnib or calibre books on to our streams? ? I am currently reading some books and the time jump seems to be a bit messed up, not sure if it is the book or the stream. If I am jumping back 5 minutes, it doesn’t seem like 5 minutes, seems to be less time than that. Also in one book, the book jumped between section or chapter 36 and went to 32, I think this may be the book though. ?

On Behalf Of Mathieu via groups.io ? Hi everyone! ? I’m pleased to announce that 1.2 will be coming out… drumroll… TOMORROW! ? That’s right! Tomorrow morning (sometime before noon Eastern time), we’ll be flipping the switch on for the over-the-air update from version 1.1 to version 1.2. ? We know you’ve been waiting for it for a while… and I hope this was worth it! We think it is. ? ? For TuneIn Radio, it is a first version of the implementation. Certain functionalities aren’t there yet (most notably, speed control in podcasts and the ability to resume playing where you left off in a podcast/book), as those features weren’t in the documentation we had from TuneIn. But we are working with them to get these in 1.3 (and added to their documentation for their future implementations!). ? So without any further ado, here’s a list of new features, and bugfixes. Please note that the bugfixes are the most “visible” ones we fixed, but we fixed more than just what’s below. Again, we think you’ll really like it! ? ? Victor Reader Stream 3 software update version 1.2 has the following new features: ? TUNEIN RADIO Listen to Internet radio stations and podcasts! You can listen anonymously, with a free account, or with a premium account. To learn more about TuneIn, visit their website at tunein.com . ? DAISY ONLINE DYNAMIC MENUS We are now supporting dynamic menus for Daisy Online (DOD) services, allowing the users to get personalized menus when navigating their national library. (This is mostly used outside of the US, the US doesn’t have a DOD library) ? IMPROVED NLS BARD SEARCH We are using the new API from NLS BARD which greatly improves search results. Try it! (English collection only for now) ? CHANGE SYSTEM LANGUAGE ON-THE-FLY You can now change your system's locale on the fly by accessing the Languages settings menu. You need to be connected to wifi as this will trigger a download of the new language. ? BETTER SUPPORT FOR MAC FILES The Stream 3 will now ignore "system" files (typically starting by a period or an underscore character) on SD cards. ? SD CARD FORMATTING SUPPORT Format your SD card directly in your Stream. Cards larger than 32gb will be formatted in exFat for better support. This option is in the diagnostic menu (boot using keys 2 6 and 8) for technical reasons. ? ? And a lot of bugfixes! This new version fixes the following issues: ? The 5 key will again give the podcast information when used Improved HLS streams support for Internet radio (some stations that didn’t work before might work now) Podcasts import files generated from the HumanWare Companion can now be imported We now check for update immediately after adding a podcast feed instead of waiting for the next update window Certain search results weren’t numbered, they are now Jump by percentage in text file should behave better Fixed a crash that erased the reading position in books after a shutdown Go To in the notes bookshelf works properly now Fixed an issue where some files couldn't be deleted in the $VRMusic folder Fixed an issue where automatic shutdown after 30 minutes of inactivity would not happen The Stream should return in the last used bookshelf after a reboot Bookmarks now use the first available number instead of the number after the highest bookmark, consistent with the behavior on the Stream 2 Fixed an issue where you couldn’t copy books/write to card on certain SD cards 256 gigs and larger Lots of Bookshare/text files interruptions were fixed. We are still seeing some issues and are investigating them but this release should be more stable. Fixed level navigation in the References bookshelf Navigation in NLS search results improved Exporting playlists using the 3 key in the Internet Radio bookshelf now works properly Offline bookshelves now refresh more smoothly when adding/removing content Raised the limit for book size in Bookshare Go To Time in Daisy/NISO books works properly now Fixed some crashes when recording certain Internet Radio stations Fixed some crashes and navigation issues in the podcast app Fixed a crash when adding certain Internet radio stations to the favorites Booting in diagnostic mode now plays a double beep Improved time announcements Fixed an issue where the TTS was sometimes cut prematurely when reading certain messages ? ? And now that this is behind us, 1.3 is on the work table.

开云体育Mathieu, Thanks for clarifying access to RNIB catalogue.? I'd say that's quite an achievement if in fact we are to get access to the RNIB TB library via the VR3.? I keep hearing that getting RNIB to co-operate with third party access providers is, oddly, difficult.? This would almost certainly get me downloading RNIB talking books again if I've got this right.? I note many European providers seem to have this sort of access, plus Autralia, so all this is over due, but no fault of Humanware I would think. Ray.

You could use Amazon Alexa, and link the RNIB and Calibre skills.

I knew rnib had a skill but not calibre. What app do I need to control my phone by voice though, I think there are several? I know you can make calls via google assistant but to actually control my phone by voice would be great. Regards Adrien -----Original Message-----

I would put in a mention of the Synapptic adaptation for Android phones here as this does allow for pretty easy and rapid jumping around by voice command as well as a favourites list. Once you've got your head around installing BBC Sounds on a smart speaker then it does become easy to do what I do, jumping around a lot. Mind you I for one did not find the installation/activation of BBC Sounds at all obvious, not to me at least.

Hi everyone! ? I’m pleased to announce that 1.2 will be coming out… drumroll… TOMORROW! ? That’s right! Tomorrow morning (sometime before noon Eastern time), we’ll be flipping the switch on for the over-the-air update from version 1.1 to version 1.2. ?

Please note that the bugfixes are the most “visible” ones we fixed, but we fixed more than just what’s below. Again, we think you’ll really like it! ? ? Victor Reader Stream 3 software update version 1.2 has the following new features: ? TUNEIN RADIO Listen to Internet radio stations and podcasts! You can listen anonymously, with a free account, or with a premium account. To learn more about TuneIn, visit their website at tunein.com . ? DAISY ONLINE DYNAMIC MENUS We are now supporting dynamic menus for Daisy Online (DOD) services, allowing the users to get personalized menus when navigating their national library. (This is mostly used outside of the US, the US doesn’t have a DOD library) ? IMPROVED NLS BARD SEARCH We are using the new API from NLS BARD which greatly improves search results. Try it! (English collection only for now) ? CHANGE SYSTEM LANGUAGE ON-THE-FLY You can now change your system's locale on the fly by accessing the Languages settings menu. You need to be connected to wifi as this will trigger a download of the new language. ? BETTER SUPPORT FOR MAC FILES The Stream 3 will now ignore "system" files (typically starting by a period or an underscore character) on SD cards. ? SD CARD FORMATTING SUPPORT Format your SD card directly in your Stream. Cards larger than 32gb will be formatted in exFat for better support. This option is in the diagnostic menu (boot using keys 2 6 and 8) for technical reasons. ? ? And a lot of bugfixes! This new version fixes the following issues: ? The 5 key will again give the podcast information when used Improved HLS streams support for Internet radio (some stations that didn’t work before might work now) Podcasts import files generated from the HumanWare Companion can now be imported We now check for update immediately after adding a podcast feed instead of waiting for the next update window Certain search results weren’t numbered, they are now Jump by percentage in text file should behave better Fixed a crash that erased the reading position in books after a shutdown Go To in the notes bookshelf works properly now Fixed an issue where some files couldn't be deleted in the $VRMusic folder Fixed an issue where automatic shutdown after 30 minutes of inactivity would not happen The Stream should return in the last used bookshelf after a reboot Bookmarks now use the first available number instead of the number after the highest bookmark, consistent with the behavior on the Stream 2 Fixed an issue where you couldn’t copy books/write to card on certain SD cards 256 gigs and larger Lots of Bookshare/text files interruptions were fixed.

I can do most things with the bt keyboard, somethings I struggle with, I have all the regular apps installed, youtube, messenger,messages, phone etc, just anything with the touch screen I struggle with. It's my sensitivity after my cerebral palsy where I struggle. Even struggle to read braille, my hands just aren't sensitive enough. I can tap but have never mastered the gestures.
