I'm not sure if it was the build I was trying to use or something else. I suspect part of it was my not knowing a few things, for example that the IAudio has a very fast sleep timer, and the voice file that I was trying to use wasn't voicing everything. Anyway, once we got it working I played with it a bit, and I must say I am extremely impressed! I'm half tempted to get one myself, now. With both of us being blind, using this device with its default firmware would be impossible or at least horribly difficult, so I for one am grateful for all of the hard work that is put into Rockbox, especially for the voice functionality. I do have one suggestion that would make things even easier with the recording function. This may have been brought up before, but it would be great if the unit had some kind of auditory signal that recording was starting or stopping or pausing. Preferably different signals for each, but I'm not sure how hard or easy that would be. I've heard that the original firmware for the IAudio had some kind of beeps that Rockbox doesn't have, perhaps this could be incorporated? or have I heard wrong and this is something that the mechanics of the unit won't allow? Anyway it would just be very helpful since there is no speech in the recording screen. Thanks! Christy No virus found in this outgoing message. Checked by AVG Free Edition.
