Thank you Tim.

Nice things about matrixes.
Do you know if the sequence problem I've reported to you is still pending for a next update or has been rejected ?

eh i thought it was the right thing todo, whats done is done. and based on the current return its clearly not going based off what you have tried to dictate so lets see what happens!

Of course, you can't remove the judge rankings for the first three entries now.
But you could release the rest of the entries rankings.

In my opinion, it's not very fair to have a ranking hint for some of the entries and not all of them before the public vote.

The API seemed to be working in the latest animated GIF demo.
Writing to the screen shouldn't be more complicated than writing to a PNG image.

Very important question DJ_Omnimaga, yes...

Chase Crispin has released a new video clip of his voice-enabled graphing calculator, the TI-84 Plus equipped with the Orion voice module. This time, he provides information about the 11 special keys onto the module.
Among the video clip's contents is the audio configuration menu, accessible through the 'pref' key.



Suprise! In fact the module contains voice data for multiple persons and we could just listen to 3 different voices at 3'25.

A retranscription of the menu follows:

Paul was the default speaker until now in our previous experiments, but there are others, with a gender parity for choosing one's companion, as the module provides:

• 4 male voices: Paul, Harry, Frank and Dennis
• 5 female voices: Betty, Ursula, Wendy, Rita and Kate

Cats are said to have 9 lives, and the TI-84 Plus Orion voice module has 9 voices ;)

Let's now discover all these voices one after another! ;)


Given that the module already supports multiple voice tones, it should be even easier to add other languages in a future update!
But that requires consumer demand for such a feature... ;)

So what's the full category list ?

Thanks for the precisions.
Can you list the models, please ?
I'm not sure that TI-83+ and TI-84 programs are competing in different categories...

I don't really see the problem with english, as the news is in english, and ticalc.org is en english too.
