Hi Joan Ann,

Good to know we have yet another happy blind IAudio x5 user around here. I
finally managed to create my own voice files. If you too find that the
voices provided, speak way too fast for you to work comfortably with,
contact me off list and I can give you another file with slower speech for
the current build. Thanks to Andre Louis, also a member of this list, I now
have a working set of utilities to create voice files with the synthesizer
of our own choice, language and speed. It took me a while to find out how it
all works though, what goes in, what tools you need, what comes out and how
it all works together. If you have skype, I can talk you through. I can do
that for others too, if someone is interested to know. It's a pain if you
have to invent part of the wheel yourself, if you're a not so experienced
user. I'll be glad to help.

Paul.

>> Ok. A few things.

>>

>>
>> Second. I believe you need the x5fw.bin file as the bootloader, not the

>> in. Find the x5fw.bin bootloader and copy it into the firmware directory.
>> turn off the unit. Unplug the usb cable. Plug in the chargr and give it a

>> you

>> couple of times.

>> The bootloader file I am using is called x5v_fw.bin

>>
>> List of 6 items
>> . Download the bootloader binary on the bottom of this page
>> . Copy it to the FIRMWARE directory on your X5/M5
>> . Turn the X5/M5 off, remove the USB cable and insert the charger. The
>> X5/M5

>> build page. That is, download the x5/m5 build from
>> http://build.rockbox.org/,
>> and unzip the contents of that to the root of your player.
>> . If you are installing Rockbox for the first time, or reinstalling after
>> removing the .rockbox directory it is recommended you install the fonts
>> package
>> from
>> http://download.rockbox.org/daily/fonts/rockbox-fonts.zip.
>> . Rockbox is now installed.
