[Electronics-talk] Milestone 312

[Christopher Chaltain]

I don't have a Milestone 312, and I wasn't sure how to describe it, so I 
went on line and using Google, I found the following web site 
http://www.bones.ch/bones/pages/eng/products/milestone312.html where it 
says:

Milestone 312 is the all-rounder. It represents a new generation of aids 
for visually impaired and blind people. Milestone 312 includes the 
functionality
of a Voice Recorder, Music Player, Text to Speech Player, DAISY-Audio 
Book Player, Radio, Clock, Alarm, Agenda and RFID Tagging System. 
Milestone 312 integrates
that enormous functionality in the popular small Milestone casing, in 
credit card size. Therewith you can take the unit and its many 
possibilities with
you wherever you go and make Milestone 312 your daily companion.

Basic version of Milestone 312.
Voice records in high quality can be recorded with the integrated or an 
external microphone. You can listen to your records over the powerful 
built-in
speaker or over headphones. The integrated music player plays all 
popular formats. Time-consuming conversions are a thing of the past. 
Also text files
can be played with Milestone 312. With the built-in
text to speech software from Acapela
  Milestone 312 converts and reads text files.
Of course Milestone 312 plays DAISY books. Also other formats, as for 
example from Audible.com, can be used. No matter what you are playing, 
Milestone
312 can increase and decrease playback or reading speed via several 
levels to conform to your tempo.

The following formats are already usable with Milestone 312:
MP3, AAC, WMA, WAV, TXT, DAISY 2.02, AA/AAX (Audible) and books from NLS.
The following formats are planned or already under development:
HTML, RTF, DOC, DAISY 3.0, (RFB&D, Bookshare).

Furthermore Milestone 312 integrates in its basic version a clock and an 
alarm. Even more features can be activated with Software Extras you can 
buy optionally.
So you can compose your Milestone 312 according to your needs and wishes.

Software Extras.
Software Extras are acquirable at anytime with your dealer. Already 
available and ready for activation are an integrated radio, an agenda 
and the RFID
tag reader "Speakout". The range of Software Extras is growing steadily 
and customers wishes are fulfilled continuously. More details you can 
find under
the link
"
Software Extras for M312
".

Add-Ons.
Add-Ons follow the same purpose as Software Extras. The hardware extras 
for Milestone 312 are plugged on the main device and enable a new 
dimension of
applications. A color reader started the Add-On product line. More 
details you can find under "
Fame"
and "
Woodscan".

Hardware.
Milestone 312 contains a powerful hardware with plenty of room for new 
developments. On the hardware components no compromises were accepted. 
Therefore
Milestone 312 integrates the newest USB 2.0 High Speed connection and 
guarantees a rapid access to the computer. The internal memory space has 
been increased
up to 1GB and in turn again is expandable by a multiple via insertable 
SD memory card (currently up to 32 GB).
