Zoom H2N Help
Darran Ross
Hi List.
I've just been given a Zoom H2N and was hoping someone could point me in the direction of a helpful audio tutorial or quick start guide on getting up and running with the device?I've got no experience with the Zoom H2 so anything at all would be useful. Thanks for any help. Darran

FM Transmitter Problem
Tom Kaufman
Hello list: I seem to have developed a problem with My FM Transmitter that
I got back in 2004; this afternoon, I had to have my speaker system replaced (should have had the guy check to make sure that this transmitter was still working) he had assured me that it was independent of the speakers (which actually does make sense) but now I find that, although the transmitter is throwing a carrier, it's no longer transmitting! There is no way I can get to where that thing plugs into the computer! So what must I do to make this thing transmit again? Although I don't use it as much as I used to, there are some applications where I do need to have it working as there are a couple of things that only come via the computer! If anyone has any ideas, feel free to pass them along! The guy actually is coming back as I am having the power switch replaced on my computer tower; am hoping it's just a simple thing like maybe something got disconnected! But if this were the case, I would have no carrier.correct? Anyhow thanks for any help or info that you can offer! Tom Kaufman

Ring doorbell Video 2 impressions
Dane Trethowan <grtdane@...>
Hi Everyone,
I’ve had the Ring Video Doorbell 2 for a week now so thought I’d write down my impressions of the product. Before that I had a Doorbell which I built around a Raspberry Pi machine however the machine packed up so I had to get something quickly. I looked for Raspberry Pi Doorbell projects to build and boy has the landscape changed since I built mine back in 2013, if you go to Youtube and look for Raspberry Pi Doorbell you’ll soon see what I mean so plenty for me to choose from and to think about. The Raspberry Pi I was using was of a considerable age and there have been several generations of Raspberry Pi since, I think we’re now up to the Third Generation? Anyway the newer Pi machines are far more powerful than the one I was using and offer far more flexible connectivity options but one thing at a time and back to the Ring Doorbell Video 2 The idea of the Ring Doorbell is to have the unit installed at a location while you use your Smart Phone to interact with the doorbell. My Ring Doorbell is installed at the front door. If you have the old trusty electro mechanical type doorbell already installed then you can choose to have it work in parallel with the Ring Doorbell. In my case I needed a sparky to come and give me a hand with my installation but if its just a case of sticking the Ring Doorbell on a wall then you should be able to perform the whole installation job yourself. Depending on the type of\The Ring Doorbell has several power options and the one you choose will depend on your installation requirements. I already have a mains supply installed for my doorbell requirements so the ring Doorbell can take advantage of that. If you’re just going to stick the doorbell on a wall then you can use the supplied rechargeable battery which clips into the bottom of the Doorbell unit. Connecting the Ring Doorbell to your network may take a little time and can be a little tricky so be sure to follow the prompts in the Ring App and be sure to create your account at http://www.ring.com <http://www.ring.com/> which I suggest you do before you stat the setup process. Its during the setup process that I started encountering disappointments with the Ring product. Firstly the Ring Doorbell Video 2 will only connect to 2.4GHZ networks and the unit doesn’t have a LAN port which is odd given the Doorbell will be mounted most likely in most homes in a fixed position. The Setup procedure in the Ring App was quite easy to follow and I have everything connected in around 10 minutes along with having completed tests to ensure that the doorbell was functioning as required. Ring sends you a couple of optional eMails containing tips and so on which are worth reading. The settings panels in the Ring App seem perfectly accessible. So now to actually trying the Ring Doorbell out with my mobile phones and here I started to get annoyed. When the Ring Doorbell detects motion or the button is pushed to ring the Doorbell a notification is sent to your phone. In order to interact with the person at your door you have to interact with the notification on your phone so that means that you not only have to unlock your phone - if it is locked - but enter your Fingerprint or facial ID before you can even interact then with the Ring Screen. The Screen contains several buttons including an “Accept” button which you can double-tap to start viewing video form your doorbell or speak to the person at your front door. And here’s another thing to be wary of, the orientation of your phone is changed to landscape regardless of your orientation preference so you may need to change your method when you try to navigate the Ring App screen whilst interacting with the Doorbell. The interactivity can be ended by double-tapping on the “End” button in the Ring App. There is an easier way with which to interact with the Ring Doorbell by the use of an Echo Show or Echo Spot device and your voice. You Suppose the Doorbell rings you can say to Echo Show, “Alexa View Front Door” where upon the Doorbell will be activated and you can start interacting with the person at your Front door. The video is displayed on the Echo Show or Spot screen and you can talk to the person at your front door using hands free on the Echo Show or Spot device. Note that the Ring Doorbell Video 2 cannot work with an Echo or Echo dot device which is a shame. Okay the Dot etc aren’t capable of receiving video but they do receive audio and the quality of audio the Echo Dot 3rd Generation and Echo put out is very reasonable. As for the audio quality of the Ring Doorbell itself? Well I can describe it best as very average but certainly not too bad. I would have liked to see a control for volume of audio on the Doorbell itself. In most situations this should be loud enough for the person at the front door to hear but certainly not in reasonably noisy environments, say near a road with a lot of traffic running up and down. Extra chime and camera units can be installed and I intend to experiment with a couple of extra chimes around the house.

I think the daisy format will be for a while at least. I don’t know how multi-lingual books or books in other languages are presented on audible or the echo show. In Daisy you can have both braille ant speak with all headings and such so i guess it also depends on what you read with what device. /A

Couple of interesting responses here so far. I'd say that both Audible (and potentially other commercial/semi-commercial services) will have their place and so will specialised services/libraries producing DAISY. I think the person who suggest that there are some materials that will just never be available from Audible is probably right, but it all depends on what you read. There's a huge amount of stuff available through Audible and commercial audiobooks do often tend to be of a high reading standard, so for people like me (and, I suspect, yourself), this will probably suit our needs nicely. I do most of my reading on a braille display though.

I don’t think that Daisy will become superfluous. I don’t agree, however, that audible readers are worse than those from Bard. There are some excellent readers on Audible who are better than any current readers on Bard, in my view. Others may not be so good. But audible has a lot more books than bard. That’s why am still in Audible member. Yes, they cost money. But there are things that audible records that Barb will never have.

First, Kindle books cost money. I live in Chicago and my city

government buys more than 100,000 print books a year for the public library system. One of the taxpayer-funded universities in my state, the University of Illinois, has more than 14 million books. It is bigger than the libraries of Yale, Princeton and the University of Chicago. I can order nearly all of these books from my local library and read them for free. If I had to pay for them, I would not be able to access the knowledge I could because of the cost. Blind people need access to vast libraries at little or no cost like sighted people do. Older books and those of a scientific or specialized nature will never make it to kindle. They will need to be scanned and offered to the blind in an electronic format. Kindle only allows a computer to select a few words of text so note taking from a Kindle book is tedious. I have listened to a few audio books produced buy Audible. The library for the blind program here in America began incorporating commercial audio books into its program a few years ago. These include Audible books. The readers are not as good as those from the library for the blind or from the major book publishers. Audible seems to use second tier voice talent who have quirky voices. The reader of one book was emotionless and did not connect with the material. Also, Audible often does not read books on regional history, regional non-fiction or those of extremely controversial topics. The national library service records audio books that fill in these gaps. When cross-border sharing of accessible books becomes available later this year, people will have more books than they could possibly read so many of these commercial services will seem superfluous.

Hi,
I think there is a big diference between a private literature reader, and a person reading school and other education stuff. If you need access to specialized literature like manuals and other such materials Daisy is still the way to go.

Hi there,
List members who use Mac machines and who want to get into Podcasting may find the link below to various tutorials on the subject from the blog post most helpful.
