[DECtalk] archive question

[Carlos Fernandez]

The archive is not online at this time. The only current way to connect 
to it is through the BTSync folder. I am still planning to put this 
online in a few months; I'm only holding back to get more people 
connected and to write out a nice interface and to finish my current 
projects, which seem to drag themselves out whenever I'm busy. I'll post 
the instructions to get onto the BTSync archive here.
1. First, if you use NVDA, you will want to install the BTSync add-on. 
This makes the application more accessible. The link to this is 
https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/11231100/BTSync.nvda-addon Install 
it like you would any other add-on package.
2. Then, you'll need the bitTorrent Sync program itself. You can 
download it at http://www.bittorrent.com/sync/downloads/complete/os/windows
3. The installation process is a little weird. You will get to a stage 
where it will ask you if you have a secret. You will want to select the 
"No, I don't" option here.
4. It will also ask you where you want to store your synced shares. I 
would suggest you create a folder for these, something like "synced 
folders", under which all of your content will go.
5. Using windows explorer, go into the folder that you created for 
syncs, and create a folder in here called "dectalk archive" or whatever 
you would like it called.
6. When you have finished the installation process, open BTSync. There 
will be a list of folders, containing your folder.
7. Navigate around the BTSync window until you find the add folder 
button and activate it (it only worked with the space bar when I tried).
8. In the "folder secret" box, paste the following line
  BFQETEL6FG4ERS3NAGHE2BXR6VMEWC7NH
9. Navigate to the browse button and select your "dectalk archive" folder.
10. Press OK and close the window with alt+f4.
11. You're good to go. The content in the dectalk archive folder will 
begin to download. You will also be sending this data to others on the 
folder.
