Hi there

Thanks for your assistance.  I've now got the h340 talking to me.

Is there a mailing list for blind users of the rockbox software?

If anyone is able to answer any of the following, then that would be good.

iIs it possible to speed up the voice?
Are you able to make it speak the song titles, instead of spelling them out?
Is it possible to make it say what the folders are, instead of saying, "folder 1, folder 2" etc.
can anyone use the recorder feature, without it locking up?
That's all for now.


Thanks to anyone who may be of assistance.

Terry

Hi terry

1. I suggest you go to www.rockbox.org and follow the links. They are a bit daunting at first, but once you get the hang of them they are ok.

2. You should download the latest firmware for the Iriver, I believe it is version 2.29.

3. You need to download a patch for the Iriver firmware and a program called FWPATCHER.

4. Having loaded FWPATCHER onto your PC, you should use it to update the Iriver firmware. Be warned, you should use the mouse, or JAWS cursor, or
Window-Eyes equivalent, or whatever you use to click the options, otherwise it fails.


5. You should also download the latest Rockbox daily build for the Iriver H340.

6. You also need to download a voice file and unzip it.

7. Having unzipped the latest Rockbox daily build and the newly-patched firmware to the root of your Iriver, you need to flash the Iriver firmware. There is a
description of how to do this using key presses on the site, but I did not have the courage. A sighted colleague, who also has an Iriver did this for me.


8. You should THEN copy english.voice to the .rockbox.langs DIRECTORY ON YOUR iRIVER.

9. After all this, when you next power up, it should go into Rockbox.


I trust someone will let us know if I have missed anything. I should warn you that I have Rockbox on my Iriver H320 and it keeps going wrong. fortunately, it
is still possible to boot to the Iriver firmware by pressing Record and Play together.
