BookSense Firmware Update
by Aaron Smith on Thursday, December 3 2009If you're not a gw-booksense subscriber, you missed Raul's recent post regarding the next BookSense update. It went a little like this:
Hello everyone. We are very close to finalizing the new firmware for the BookSense. Here is the last teaser on the new features. This concerns the BookSense mark feature. You will now be able to quickly switch between 3 different types of marks by pressing the 9 key while you are listening to a book or reading a document. The 3 types are regular mark, voice memo, and highlight mark. The regular mark is just an indication that you have placed a mark in your book, the voice memo mark allows you to record a message with your mark, and the highlight mark allows you to set a start and end point so that you can highlight certain areas of the book you are listening to. Note that the highlight mark is different than the section repetition feature which the BookSense has had since the beginning. The section repetition is good for things like learning music or phrases which you want repeated a certain number of times. Since the 9 key is now used to switch the different kinds of marks, its old behavior of choosing a time interval to move by has been moved elsewhere. We don't have a release date as yet, but hope to have this firmware ready just as soon as we are able. Many thanks.
