The system will be used with a microphone to do the “careful speech” stage of the BOLD approach. There seems to be some question about USB’s ability to handle the load, but I’m looking for something which will work with netbooks, which don’t normally come with firewire inputs. There’s a number of devices for sale with claim this ability, but, well, being in PNG, if we get ones which don’t really deliver, it’s an expensive mistake. <o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US>If anyone has managed to make a Zoom H4N perform this role, I’d love to hear that (that would mean one less bit of kit).<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US>Thanks for any advice.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal style='mso-margin-top-alt:auto;margin-bottom:12.0pt'><b><span lang=EN-US style='font-family:"Verdana","sans-serif";color:#666666'>John Hatton</span></b><span lang=EN-US> </span><span lang=EN-US style='font-family:"Verdana","sans-serif"'><br></span><span lang=EN-US style='font-size:8.0pt'><a href="http://pnglanguages.org/"><span style='color:windowtext;text-decoration:none'>SIL Papua New Guinea</span></a>, <a href="http://palaso.org"><span style='color:windowtext;text-decoration:none'>Palaso</span></a>, & <a href="http://sil.org"><span style='color:windowtext;text-decoration:none'>SIL International </span></a>Software Development</span><span lang=EN-US style='font-family:"Verdana","sans-serif"'><o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US><o:p> </o:p></span></p></div></body></html>
