[nabs-l] Braille Note Apex issues

[Chris Nusbaum]

Hi Joshua,

To clarify, I saw your response to Josh Gregory's email, and am using the
information from that email to write this one.

When a DAISY book is downloaded from Bookshare, as is the case with any
other Bookshare book, it is compressed into a ZIP file. This means that in
order for your TVI to get the books into a format in which his students can
read them, he has to first extract the ZIP file. He can either do this on a
PC using the built-in extracter tool in Windows, or he can do it on the
BrailleNote (this only works on an Apex) by doing the following:

1. From the main menu, press f for file manager.
2. Press u for unzip file.
3. Select the file you want to unzip from the list of files using the
standard procedure for selecting files.
4. The BrailleNote will prompt "Folder for unpacking this archive?" Select
the folder you want the extracted file to be in.
5. The BrailleNote will extract the file and place you back in the file
manager.

Once the book is extracted, you have to open the book from the book reader,
not the word processor. If it works right, when you select the book, it
should say "loading book" then beep. For more information, I would refer you
and/or your TVI to Mayson Cabo's podcast on downloading and reading Daisy
books from Bookshare on the BrailleNote Apex, which you can find at
www.braillenoteusers.info/media.

Hope this helps,

Chris

First of all, I got to see an Apex, and I like them!
I also want to buy one, but here's the issue at hand.
My former TVI told me that he was having problems getting his students'
textbooks to work on the Braille Note.
The Daisy books won't work right, for some reason.
Do any of you know how to remedy that situation?
Thanks, Joshua
