TI-Reader App Available
Posted by Michael on 4 September 2003, 05:04 GMT
TI has released TI-Reader, a new concept app available for the 89 and the 92+/Voyage 200. TI-Reader is a text reader that works in conjunction with the TI-Reader Converter software to convert text, HTML, and Open eBook files into viewable documents for your calculator. In addition to the different font sizes and image (black and white) support, it provides for highlighting, bookmarks, and even annotating the text with your own notes. As alluded to in the app description, this is part of TI's plan to expand the usage of their calcuator into liberal arts classes.

Well, I don't have a 68k, but I read through most of the manual. Since there's no mention of any sort of delay - either on opening a new file or on locating a page - I'm guessing there is no compression.
There were a few other things that disturbed me:
- "345 to 350K is roughly the maximum size text file you can convert without exceeding TI-Reader Converter's limit of 10 file segments [of 64k each]" - do the math
- similarly, the "test results" don't quite add up
- extended ASCII characters are used, so Unicode (ha! right) isn't an excuse for the above
- you have to select in the converter whether to "include" the large font, small font, or both
- files can't be transferred 89<->92
- for multi-part books, you need the entire thing to be able to read any of it
