Reading ADOCE database - General Topics

Hello,
I have a database that seems to be created with ADOCE, atleast it uses adocedb31.dll. I want to see how it is built up, does anyone have any tips as to how I can read it? Have tried to find readers for it but come up with nothing that works.
Regards Björn

Looking for eBook reader with voice output

Hi,
I have searched a lot so far, but still did not find it.
Does anyone know an eBook reader that will read the book with voiceoutput? I would love to be able to drive and having the books read to me.
Thanks,
vma
I was looking into the same. There is a program out there (not free) which will do exactly what your after (can't remember the name, try Google). Only thing is I think you have to buy the books from them.
Best of luck. Paul
Yeah... I do remember a software that read's books, but it uses like compressed audio files, which you have to purchase.
I was looking for a software that would use speech syntesis and that would open plain text files.
I had a free speech syntesis program installed once and you could like copy & paste text into it's window and it would actually read the text. But tyy to do that with a whole book...
Still, I find it funny that no one did make such a program. Can it be that I am getting really weird??? :shock:
Cheers,
vma
One program was called Fonix iSpeak for Pocket PC, but good luck finding it now.

Another program is called FLITE:

Arh ha. Flite was the program I was referring to. The Fonix ispeak sound even better! Does anyone know where to get it?
Hi,
It seems more dificult than what I assumed... I tried an evaluation version of Fonix (it is a discuntinued product, I guess) and it does not suit my needs: while it does indeed read a book in text format, it will neither show the text nor does it allow to stop reading and then resuming at another time.
So I had a new idea: why not look out for tools on the PC that would convert TXT to mp3?
I looked for it and there are actually tons of tools to do that.
However, from the 5-6 tools I tried, only one was able to actually produce a usable mp3 file out of a complete book.
The file is 100MB in size and the quality is not very good (the quality of the reader, not the compression).
I will to some further testings on that, but basically I believe that we are not yet there...
Cheers,
vma
Please keep us informed on the outcome. I too am interested.

Device-on-time Utility

I'm trying to get real data on how much use I get from my TC between charges. Is anyone running a utility to monitor the cumulative amout of time that you've had your device switched on for since the last battery charge?
I Googled and found a few apps but they were all last updated in 2005 or 2006 and specified Windows CE or Windows 2005 CE as the supported OS; although they probably are just fine on WM6 I'm always nervous of putting very old apps on my device.
Has anyone found anything more recent or already tried one or more of these old ones on their Touch Cruise and can verify that they work?
I have a preference for something that isn't a Today plugin, I'd rather just leave a straightforward app running in the background since I don't expect to always want to be monitoring this, but if a Today plugin as all that I can get then that's OK.
EDIT: Hi Milan - I just saw your reply to my post in your PowerGuard forum so it looks like we're communicating, albeit in a rather wierd way across two forums. Thanks for your attention on this, you are a real superstar!

U want me to write one? Or integrate it in PowerGuard?

Hi Muyz,
Yes please! I did make a post about this on your PowerGuard forum, complete with some suggestions regarding a really simple way to implement it, but I posted from my laptop not my main computer so I didn't realise I wasn't logged on to your forum and my post appeared as being from "Guest" (but I did sign it with my name like I do on all my posts to any forum so that I can search on them at some later date if necessary).
My preference would be to add it to PowerGuard partly just to have one less thing to install but also because I suspect you already have a lot of the necessary code to support it in there already.

Is it at all possible to merge multiple cab files to create a single cab?

What I am interested in doing is taking multiple cab files and then merging them into a single cab file so rather than having to install multiple theme tabs i could just install a single file which would make the whole process simpler after a hard reset to get all my things reinstalled.
I'm a bit of a noob and have searched through the forum but havent really found a noob's walkthrough although i have found usefull posts they arent exactly what i'm looking for, i'm sure other members would find this really usefull too if its at all possible.
It could also be helpful for installing multiple applications at a time.
I appreciate that people dont have the time to sit and talk me through the whole process but any information you could give would really be appreciated.
I've attached the files that i would be interested in merging. I'm not looking for anyone to do the work for me i'm just interested in any knowledge of the process that you may have to offer.
Thx
Alex

Simplest and easiest thing to do is to use UC to install all these cabs automated style when the ROM boots up. I am assuming you are using a ROM which is UC compliant (all the official ones arent.....the cooked ROMs are mostly UC compliant though).
The 'hard' way is analyzing the cab's -> extracting files/reg-entries -> rebuilding the cab-files to one cab.
Theoritically it's possible with a program like WinCE Cabmanager but it is a hell of job I think.
I would go for the UC-option mentioned by MrVanx. I use it myself and it works like a threat (you have to get familiar with wap-provisioning and stuff but it's worth the journey)
Ive tried using a few of the cooked roms over the past couple of weeks but to be honest they dont work all that well for me, none of them seem to work with msn (which is something i use all the time) i always get error messages saying that it cant find a data connection even through wifi which is always setup properly as i can search the net quite easily and have verified that the wifi is working and searched through the rom threads for fix's and all ive seen so far is that this seems to be a bit of a problem for a number of users, some fixes work for certain members but it doesnt for others, unfortunatly i'm one of the others.
Currently using Vodafone UK 1.90.161.5 stock rom.
I think the WinCE Cabmanager approach mite be the best option for me as i'm still a bit of a noob with regards to things and as most of the cabs i'm interested in merging are simple theme cabs so it shouldnt be that much of a task (gulps)
Are there any good tutorials that i could use for WinCE Cabmanager?
I'll have a search myself to see what i can come up with but in the past i've found it quite hard to find things in the forum and most of the time i stumble across certain "gems" by following links in peoples signatures.
Thanks for the info its much appreciated.

Over on the Kaiser section there was a user named bengalih, who made an automated installer called Sashimi. Although Bengalih has been banned, his work is still floating around. Check out this thread, or do a search for Sashimi. In theory, it should work for the Raphael, since it is still a Win Mobile device. Hope that helps. I might add, that right before Bengalih was banned, he stripped his Sashimi guides from his posts on xda, but they are available here.
This does look like the type of thing i am looking for unfortunately all his posts are just "..........................." but i regged on the other site and got the software so i'm going to go check it out and see how it works. Thanks for that
Alex
Just a quick question but does your mobile connection (Vodafone UK) allow you to use msn (or to that matter any IM program) or is it just http stuff only?
Tmobile wnw doesnt allow IM software over the data connection unless you use wnw+ so i wonder if this is the case with vodfone aswell?
Yeah it does, it also allows me to use skype too. Unfortunalty its the only ROM that does allow me to use msn although i havent tested skype as this is my secondary IM app.
In theory to make a theme (cab) i tried to extract files from a few cabs, files including:
1AA884~1.004
1BBFDC~1.001
1E29E8~1.005
4E6705~1.002
5A7AE8~1.015
5B86C9~1.016
5C27FF~1.017
etc
Then i used "QuickCab 1.0" to add all the extracted files from a couple of cab files, i directed QuickCab 1.0 to install the files to the Windows directory and the process made the new cab file with no problems however i tried to install the cab file that it had created but my TF3D didnt change at all even after a restart.
I'm trying to merge NoTopCurtain.cab-NoCurtains.cab-GlassClock_v1.cab-Pamas Transparant Slider.CAB & NeonIcon.cab
By looking at the xml file it looked like all the 90 files should be installed to the Windows directory.
Any idea of what i am doing wrong?
Thx
Alex
try cabmanager. You will see the actual files. And there is very logical registry structure.
I do not have a tutorial for the program but it's not that hard. You can export files (right mouse click) and reg-entries (under 'file'). Put those all together (import of reg-entries is also possible!) Adding files gives you a simple window with where to put the files on your ppc.
It is not that hard and you will be in control of the proces instead of working with the encrypted files you are doing now...
made dozens of (working) cab's this way myself and I'm no einstein!
Good luck
@merten3000 thanks for that for the next 30 days i can make working cabs, i initially seen your post and checked the program but noticed it was only a 30 day trial so i never bothered then with your last post when u mentioned "encrypted" files that sort of made sense when i originally seen the file names of the files i was extracting where as they are now extracting properly and i created a working cab, thanks very much.
Dont suppose you know of a free program that will do the same job? Money is tight and cant justify buying this app.
Alex
The simplest thing to do, for me, would be to take the stock rom that you like, extract and recook it making only the changes needed to make it UC compliant.
That way you get your rom just as it was, and can run all your cabs. Shouldn't be much work either. (well, it wouldnt be on the Kaiser - not used Raphael kitchens etc, but assume it is relatively easy)

PDF Comment/markup tool...or equivalent to

I am looking for the ability or write on a PDF, ie. use the comment and markup tools that come with acrobat standard. I have engineering drawings emailed to me as PDFs and I have to redline them and either save them for later or send them back. I am utterly amazed that no one else seems to have this need because I can not find any program that can do this. Has anyone found an app that will let you take notes on a pdf? Had anyone found a work around (export to this format and reopen in that program ect.)?
Any help is greatly appreciated.
specs: ATT Tilt2, WM6.5, TF3D 2.1
Moved as not software release.
Willing to buy software
I am willing to pay for software if that is what is needed to get this functionality. But if it is still not possible can anyone tell me why its not possible? Am I asking this question in the wrong forum? Wrong website?

App for a "self-running" PDF "book"...

Hey there,
I hope I'm in the right section of the forum...
It's hard to describe my problem in English, I hope you understand.
I have an manual-CD* which is like an exe-file which run's a kinda special form of Adobe Reader (I think V4.0). This start's a menu.pdf where I can navigate through all the other chapters/pages, etc. It's kinda self-running book. No installation, just the autorun which starts adobe and loads the menu.pdf.
I already tried to copy all the pdf's with the direction tree on my phone, but it doesn't work. Not even one PDF can be opened by several PDF-App's. Only an office app opens the files, but it's blank. I can only see how many sheets it have.
Is it possible to get this running on an android-based device without PDF-Printing every document to a normal PDF (there are hundrets or more documents inside)?
Thanks a lot in advance!
Alex

If someone know it: It's the Mercedes W124 WIS-CD you could bought some years ago officially. Maybe someone has it too, and know what I mean.
