[nabs-l] Braille Note Apex issues

[Sophie Trist]

Couldn't you just go into the book reader and unpack the file 
that way? That's how it works with BRF files downloaded from 
Bookshare, but I've never worked with Daisy, so don't hold me to 
it.

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
