Subject: Re: [NTLK] Newton sound note to Mac
After some initial problems with BinHexer, I've got the basics working!
After installation of BinHexer and Translator, the pair failed to work,=20
merely reporting something to the effect that a suitable translator was=20
unavailable. I reste the MP2100, tried again, and was then able to use=20
BinHexer to convert an audio note into a .hqx note, which appears=20
automatically in Works (Works acts as a sort of intermediary in the=20
process).
This note was then emailed to my Mac. Using the LunaSuite mailer causes=20
the note to be sent as a Mime attachment and so is unsuitable. Eudora=20
Pro sends the note as the text of the email message, so that's received=20
fine and can be used in the next sequence.
I cut the body of the email message and pasted it into a new plain text=20
TextEdit document, then saving it with the .hqx extension (not=20
necessary, of course). I passed the resulting document to Stuffit=20
Expander (8.0.2 in my case) and this quickly produced a file with name=20
Test.au.gsm" -- Test from the name of the Newton document, "au"=20
presumably for audio, and gsm for heaven only knows what! Anyway, this=20
file can be played straight from the Finder, or theough QuickTime;=20
iTunes doesn't accept it, so it might need converting for some uses.=20
Sonium ignores it for conversion, Audacity does not recognise it, but=20
Amadeus can be used for conversion.
My idea is now to record a Chinese person (away from home) speaking=20
some simple phrases into the MP2100; this person will then also sketch=20
the corresponding Chinese script pictograms. Back at home, pictograms=20
and sound will be transferred to the Mac, where they will be used to=20
build a SuperCard project to help learn some very basic Chinese,=20
showing written pictograms, printed pictograms and allowing the phrases=20
to be heard. Not spectacular, but interesting.
