[Reader-users] Hullo

[Jacob Kruger]

Hi there.

Although I did in fact get my KNFB Reader around July/August last year in 
London, UK, for whatever reason, I only got around to looking into a mailing 
list for 'users' around now, but anyway...

FWIW, I live in South Africa, and I don't think there are many other guys 
this side with the KNFB Reader, but that's not really relevant unless you 
try something like getting it to read one of our other languages (I think we 
literally have something like around 7 official languages).

Anyway, I do keep an 'eye' on the website, so I have already carried out the 
software upgrade to 3.8.1, and it is definitely somewhat better than it was 
in the beginning, especially with regard to now being able to read 
alternative colour schemes, like average menus etc. - just still wish it 
could read handwriting, but I know that's almost impossible.

Now, my first question...

Is there any way to get it to play MP3 files? Do they simply need to be 
converted into some other format?  Do I just need to put them in some 
specific place on that memory card? Do I need to rename them into something 
specific?  Do they need to be converted into a specific range of quality 
rates (kbps)?

I just think that it would be something nice to be able to use the PDA for 
since it could actually read you the relevant file name etc. where my normal 
MP3 player just starts automatically playing the songs.

Anyway, I might just be being dilly asking something like this, but anyway - 
the reason it popped up in my head recently is because a woman I was helping 
to train on a PC had the BookCourier PDA, and she can play MP3s on it as 
well as doing her own TTS stuff from text files etc.

Thanks in advance
