Hi Folks, We've been having a discussion on the seeing with sound list about running the vOICe using a talking linux or other than windows platform. Below, please find and comment on the possibility to do this? Please consult the pages found at: http://www.seeingwithsound.com/winvoice.htm for information about this free software. and write to: Peter.B.L.Meijer@xxxxxxxxxxx with questions/input as he is not on this list but is the developper of the software. We may persuade him to join the list provided there is enough interest though. You can join the seeing with sound list if you like by sending a blank message to: seeingwithsound-subscribe@xxxxxxxxxx I hope it is not too off topic for this list. I did not post to the speak up list as I know that it is a more specific list but if we can get some speak up input to this, that would also be welcomed.

Yes, probably Hi David, Doug and all, Here follows a recipee for running a version of The vOICe on non-Windows platforms such as Linux. Running The vOICe Java *application* rather than The vOICe Java *applet* gets around all browser dependencies and sandbox security settings, and is therefore probably easiest to implement on your Linux sytem. I'll assume that you already have Java and The vOICe Java class files installed on your system as outlined on my web page at the URL http://www.seeingwithsound.com/javapp.htm Then under Microsoft Windows one starts The vOICe Java application - with an image file refresh every second - by just issuing a single command line like the following one: "C:\Program Files\Java\j2re1.4.1_01\bin\java" The_vOICe REFRESH=1.0 URL=file:c:\mydir\myimage.gif Details about the file path to the java interpreter executable and to the image file to be sonified may vary per system, but that's about all that you need to adapt to deal with the specifics of your system, be it Microsoft Windows, or Linux, or yet another operating system with Java support. One would typically put the command line in a batch or shell script file. The local image file that the URL points to is the one that should be refreshed by your third-party camera application. I believe that this procedure should work under Linux just like it does on my Windows systems.
