Regarding to ASCII Standard meeting results

Hi Everyone,

I went to the NAD convention to moderate ASCII standards with about
20 companies who involve with TDD products and relay services.

Also, Dick Brandt who works with CCITT standards for modems were with us
to make sure the Baudot specs are up to date before it may become standard
to all new modems. Yes! It is very possible that all Hayes and compatiable
modems will include Baudot calls. Not offically yet, but the formal voting
at CCITT meeting will be on Sept '93. After approval, usually 1 month
later, the products will appear on the market. Meaning? We can get 14,400
Baud modems with Baudot support! More details later...

About the ASCII standards, so far we agreed to:

SPEED        BIT STRUCTURES                CALLER MODE     RECEIVER MODE
========================================================================
300 BAUD     8N1 w/ 8th bit stripping      Half Duplex     Half Duplex

Hi Sherri , I don't know how much help I can be but I had brain
surgery 1 1/2 yrs ago and while I was undergoing all the testing I
had tons of family and friends who would visit and spend time with
me and I'll tell you that that's what made the biggest difference
of all. So in other words (i'm no doctor) gather friends and family
together and spend time with her. tuake turns so that there's
always someone to talk to or just to be with. I hope you can find a
little peace of mind in this response.Let me know how she makes out.
Catch you later, Al

When you wish to write into the Braille 'N Speak in Grade 2 Braille
and have the Braille 'N Speak be able to translate what you have
put in back to print you tell the Braille 'N Speak that you want
the translator on.  Of course, you can print out in Braille what
you have typed in in Grade 2 Braille on a Braille printer.  But,
what you will not find on a Braille 'N Speak is a translator that
will turn uncontracted files in your Braille 'N Speak into
contracted Braille on a Braille printer.  The process used in the
Braille 'N Speak is usually refered to as back translation.  It is
the back translation that allows you to type into the Braille 'N
Speak in Grade 2 Braille and have it read out to you as though it
were not contracted.

 BB> you know if most of the grade two braille contractions mean the
 BB> equivalent word in other languages, such as Spanish?

No, they do not.  The grade 2 contractions are used differently in
different languages, representing the most commonly-used character
combinations and words, as they (mostly) do in English.   There would be
little use, for example, in "wasting" a symbol on a letter combination
which is not used in a language.  Also, since many of the whole-word
symbols (there's a word for those... waht is it?) do not start with the
same letter in other languages, they would not "make sense" if they
meant the same thing in those languages. ("Gd", for example, would not
make a lot of sense as the abbreviation for "bien.")  Some of the grade
2 symbols stand for accented letters when six-dot Braille is used (in
eight-dot Braille, these characters are handled differently.)

... Read what I mean, not what I write!

I noticed a commercial the other night on the Arts and
Entertainment network for Dr. Scholl's pads.  The actress
in the commercial is signing with another actress saying
something to the effect "when you use and need my hands
as much as I do, you'll appreciate Dr. Scholl's pads for
your sore fingers."  I did not get a good enough look
at the actress but it may have been Marlee Maitlin (sp?).
(interesting - as I get more into signing with my son, I
looked at the actresses's hands before her face.  I guess
that's normal but if I ever say, "Wow, get a load of
those knuckles", then I'm in trouble <grin>)

At first, I considered this a tacky commercial but then
again who said that commercials were not supposed to
be tacky and do whatever they can to sell their product?

Bill

P.S., now that I think about it, maybe this was
a commercial for Dr. Scholl's wart pads?

my employer bought it for me in some crazy move to buy a bunch of

the device although people rant and rave about what a great piece
of dquipment it is. to me it is a seventeen hundred dollar note
taker or a portable perkins braille writer with speech and much
more porbable than a perkins. but if I were personally faced with a
choice of what to buy for on the go note taking and modem access
and the other things it will do I prefer my toshiba laptop any day

actually tim you are correct it was a two part question but at the

not created on the b n s will not directly translate without the

will output to grade 2. I have not had much time to play with mine

Hi Carla,
You may do one of two things! To pass a key to the application with artic
press alt alt-x or do the following:

First press the scroll lock key to go into control mode.
Next press alt-u and the following menu should come up!

  USER KEY DEFINITIONs

Now press control page up and you will get the following prompt.
EASY READING KEYS: A. Read Character Current   ALT K
              3

Next press page down until you get the following prompt:
3  TRACKER MODE KEYS: A. Character Cursor Mode    ALT C
                 3

now press "d" and you should get the following prompt:
 D. Pointer Track Mode       alt-x
Now press the delete key and you should get the following prompt:
Press y to remove this DEFINITION or escape

I hope this helps

What do you mean by a speech terminal program?  If you mean what is

the SynPhonis well.  They include Vocal-Eyes, ASAP, Provox, JAWS,
Flipper, Soft Vert ArticBusinessvision if it is a 215 board,
TinyTalk and probably someone I am leaving out.  If you mean

That might be a problem if you rent a car.  Might be best to call

Hello, ALL.....

I will be away from my computer from July Eighteenth to August
twenty-sixth.  Why?  There is an important all-sports meet -- The
British Columbia Provincial Games For the Physically disABLED --
being held in Maple Ridge, British Columbia, Canada.  Since I also
compete in sprint swimming in the States, I figure the Northern
Neighbors can use a visit.  I've been competing in British Columbia
and Alberta for ten years and have made lots of friends.  When I
return, I will let you know how I survived the Greyhound Bus ride
there and give you a brief description of the Provincial Games.

Please don't go all wild and crazy (Steve Martin's saying) on me
while I'm away.  If I get the chance to use someone's computer, I
will call and give y'all Greets! from the British Columbia
Provincials.

Hello everyone, I have decided to give some impressions of the exhibits
I visited while at the aCB convention in Phoenix, AZ.  It was both a
learning as well as fun experience, say for two exhibitors.  In fact, I
feel so strongly about these two vendors that I'm posting a beware
message for each one of them.  But for now, to the good news.
Arkenstone was there and there's two new ScanJets now on the market.
The 2P and the 2C.  They are supposed to have automatic contrast, but
unfortunately, from what I learned, it is supported only with
Arkenstone's software windows OCR, not the Calera hot card.  And
another thing which wasn't made quite clear was just how much
information one gets, or how easy it would be to use the software
windows version.  Sure, Arkenstone has made it talk to a degree, but how
much, and to what extent one has control over what happens with his
computer or on the screen, I don't know.  I don't know
about you, but I feel very scheptical about running a
program without my screen reader available.  Unfortunately, I don't
think the automatic contrast will ever be in the hardware version, or
maybe I should say the card itself. In fact, some have told me that
eventually the card will be replaced with the windows software only
version altogether.  Of course Kurzweil was there, but as far as I know,
they didn't create any big stirs.  At least there weren't any earth
quakes or snow storms, ha ha. Oddly enough, Howe press wasn't there,
though ApH was.  There was what seems to be a relatively new company
there called, Flash Trans Enterprises. They seem to have good service,
for I ordered some items from them while at the convention, and received
them Monday July 20, 1992, not bad service from California. You could
probably beat their prices, but they weren't bad at all for an exhibitor
at a convention anyway, and they have a nice fairly large braille
catalog, as well as a few unique items. I'm not sure of all the formats
of their catalog. Their address is: Flash Trans Enterprises, 4536 Edison
Avenue, Sacramento, CA  95821 Phone 916 489-5860 Continued in next
message.

... My reality check just bounced.

[This is from the Blink Talk Conference]

aI just got my copy of the new rfb quarterly catalog on disk including
the read.com program. i'm using it with vocal-eyes 1.1. the problem I'm
having is that i have to keep going in to Review mode to read  the
screen.

I had the same problem when using it with my asap demo and my version of
tiny talk. However, when I used read.com with soft vert 4.5 b, (and pay
attention, because I rarely have anything good to say about t s i) it
worked fine. I didn't have to jump into review mode to use the read.com
program effectively. Does anyone know why Soft Vert in particular works
better with read.com than either Vocal-eyes, asap, or tiny talk? By the
way, I didn't set up any special windows in Vert or anything like that.

Before you all tell me to forget using the read.com program and try
either Ralph or Sqwint, I did. Ralph worked fine, but the announcement
of the beginning line number of every new screen started annoying me.
Sqwint didn't have this problem, but Sqwint's problem was that when I
was doing searches by title, sqwint would read me the title, give me the
more command, and cut off pertinent information like the author of the
book and the publisher. By the way, I'm not trying to sound like a
complainer here.
