      2. dropdown: “target language”,  select yours
      3. dropdown”: add”: “file-based translation memory”
      4. open dialogue:”file-based translation memory”, select exported text file;

How to prevent squealing noise on the brown headphones AKA audio feedback

  1. Symptom:high-pitched squealing sound, usually when logged into the computers along the  wall (listening stations –other computers have different black headsets which are not as prone to this problem,) and not wearing the headset.
  2. Short answer: LRC Assistants will let the student who causes the squealing noise know:
    1. ”Turn the volume knob on the brown headset down!”
    2. “You can turn it back up once you have put the headset on”.
  3. Explanation:
    1. The brown (analog) headsets on the listening stations exhibit this squealing noise  when
      1. the students do not wear the headset
      2. AND the microphone is too close to the headphone speakers
      3. AND the headphone volumne knob is turned up to high.
    2. This phenomenon is called an (audio) feedback loop:
      1. The headphone speakers echo what is spoken into the microphone (this is called sidetone).
      2. This is an important language learning feature (helps you control your pronunciation).
      3. However, it spirals out of control when students do not wear the headset. They also need to “wear the headset!” (general recommendation in the language lab) to have the benefit of the sidetone (and then their head insulates between speakers and microphones).

New Sanako Lite Recorder Installation error

As seen when starting up the Student.exe after instalaltion (and before restart). What i noticed was the red warning in the sanako student “no audio”. After a restart after installation, i could play back sound. no microphone was installed on the system, but should that result in such errors? we are having a lot of installation issues with the sanako lite recorder on our pretty standard (xp dp3, win7 64-bit) dell optiplex (755, 760,780 mostly) machines. I am used to reading stack traces, but my users are not and would run into this – plus this one seems deliberately obfuscated.

Why do some room calendars refuse to synch in Outlook?

  1. Problem: I recently had to recreate ("Add calendar"/ "From address book") my calendar tree (groups) in Outlook 2010, and now I notice that
      1. some (especially all tutor "Room" calendars) steadfastly remain blank (e.g. LRCTutor07),
    1. while other room calendars do not (e.g. LRCRoomCOED433b).
  2. image
  3. The offending calendars can be loaded from internet (being published – with limited details, so that is not a real workaround): e.g. “ITL up t to 2201”.
  4. In the Properties/ Permissions, I can see that for some calendars that synch, I am not listed as Editor (presumably being more than that? Owner?) – but not all calendars that synch (e.g. LRCRoomCOED433b) have this as a requirement.
  5. image
  6. Is there maybe a limit of how many calendars can be loaded in Outlook at any given time?
  7. Impersonating the calendar and sharing it with myself does not help either: image
  8. In the settings below (albeit a year old), I cannot see a substantial difference either:
