BtSpeak overview Audio bite-size chunks

last night I brought you my unboxing of the unit and today I figured I’d bring you some bite-size chunks of an overview. So you don’t have to listen to one long overview you can quickly find what you’re interested in and listen to something quick. Even if you’re interested in, everything is probably not more than 10 minutes.

I hadn’t heard or found a lot of audio to look at what the unit has to offer before making the purchase so I’m glad to offer that.

I figured the best thing to do is to update this post as I have new findings instead of making a bunch of new ones so that’s what I’ll do. I left the. BTSpeak sleeping for just around eight hours today and the battery drop from 100 to 50%. That is not bad. I hear there is to be an upgrade coming out soon and I will post audio of the upgrade process when the upgrade is available to me.

my case came today. Beware of the ships from outside the country, link below. It is a case for a mobile phone so to speak, but you can put pretty much anything you want in it. The dimensions are pretty close to the. BTSpeak. you cannot use the unit when it is in the case, of course. Open the mouth of the case wide before inserting the unit or removing the unit so as not to brush the keyboard. There is an Intral pocket which I have put some USB-C headphones and outer pocket where I put a USB-C charging cable.

speaking of USB-C headphones, the Apple EarPods that are USB-C version work really well! They don’t block out what you’re listening to from the outside so if you’re in a class or meeting, you will still be able to hear the presentation, but you were also able to easily hear your speach from the BTSpeak. they are pretty cheap/inexpensive and lightweight. Of course the unit ships with a USB-C two, 3.5 inch adapter but if you don’t want to have an extra adapter on a pair of headphones, these are a great suggestion.

now let’s dive into some audio examples, that may be used for training and or understanding the unit before you may get one.

Lets first look at an orientation of the unit see audio below.

Lets look at the manual upgrade process of the BTSpeak, upgrading from the March 5 software version, to the March 20 Software Upgrade.

Lets next look at how easy it is to obtain context sensitive help in the unit.

Will dive into a couple of applications and show the speed of the processor in the unit.

let’s take a look at getting connected to Wi-Fi and dictionary application.

let’s take a look at using text brailed into the BTSpeak on other devices. Current implementation of the feature made possible by Drew Weber.

finally enclosing out this post, let’s take a look at a few things that are similar between the BTSpeak of now, and Braille N Speak Of Past.

My first look and unboxing: Blazie Technologies BTSpeak Notetaker

if you remember the braille N speak of old, you fell in love with it and have missed it for years? Me too!! We now have an updated model, complete with USB-C port and microSD storage. The all new. BTSpeak from Blazie Technologies is now shipping. Mine just came today and I want to give you a quick look at an unboxing and quick demo of the unit.

DJay iOS using Apple Music as music source, manual cross fading

just several months ago, the ability to use Apple Music as the music source for DJay was introduced. This opens up a lot of doors for a lot of people! In the audio below, I showcase how to manually Crossfade music at the point in the song that you choose versus allowing the Apple Music standalone app or djay for that matter to choose Crossfade points.

First Overdub with Electric guitar, Mustang Micro, and h1 e

This is 5 tracks or, overdubs I believe. Mustang intoo eighth inch male, to, 2 xlr, into 2 Fantom blockers, into another patch cable 2 xlr, that terminates in another eighth inch male. Wow. All that just to block power from getting to the Mustang from the recorder. The cable is a bit bulky but, it sounds real good. Not a lot of noise from the several overdubs. I was sitting on my couch and just recording in, not even in the mind set of being in studio, just jamming. It felt very stress free for me. After I was done with guitars, I went into the Laundry room and banged on the washer for the drums. It’s not perfect, but, then

again, though, it’s not supposed to be. It’s a jam, and getting down an Idea. So easy to do, and fun, and not a lot of setup work.

First overdub using the Zoom H1e and Rode Nt4 with Taylor Acoustic

This was to easy to setup. It’s amazing how light things feel with out using a computer or Phone to track. I am also impressed with audio quality. This is just how audio went into the recorder. I did not import into computer and flip faze to solo tracks. Mic was on a short stand on coffee table in front of me. Used the Fantom Power Blockers to block plug-in power.
