[DECtalk] DECtalk Archive should be working now

[Aksel Christoffersen]

Update: The info file in the DECtalk Archive has now been updated with
instructions for how to install Resilio Sync and connect to the folder. I am
posting the instructions here, if anyone is still experiencing problems. The
process is a bit complicated, but that's how it went for me. Please let me
know if you've experienced something else.

 

You'll need the Resilio Sync program itself. You can download it here.

https://www.resilio.com/sync/download

 

When you've downloaded Resilio Sync, run the installation file. Check the
first four boxes in the installation window as you like, but make sure to
check the fifth one called "Install Resilio Sync as Windows service", and
press Next.

 

Resilio Sync will now begin the installation process, and at some point, a
Windows Security box will open. Here you'll need to enter your computer's
username and password, in order for Resilio Sync to be propperly installed.

 

When the installation is complete, the installation window will
automatically close, and Resilio Sync will open in your web browser. You
will now be asked to choose a username and password, which will be used to
access Resilio Sync. This username will also be what other users will see
when reviewing who is connected to a particular folder. Press Continue after
entering your information.

 

You'll now be asked for the username again, along with two boxes you have to
check, to agree with Resilio's terms of use. Press Next when you're done.

 

Resilio Sync will now ask you to get a free license, in order to use the
program. You can register for one here.

https://www.resilio.com/sync/register

Follow the instructions on the site to receive a license via e-mail.

 

When you receive an e-mail, you'll find the license file attached in the
message. Save it to your computer from your mail application. Then go back
to the Resilio Sync window, and press the link called "Apply New License" at
the bottom of the site.

 

Now, use Windows Explorer to locate your license file, and right click on
the file with shift+f10. Select the option called "Copy as path".

 

Now, go back to the Resilio Sync window, and find the text field called
"Path", and paste the path to the license here with ctrl+v. Make sure to
remove the quotes at each end of the path. Go down to the bottom of the site
and press Open. Resilio Sync should now be activated and fully unlocked.

 

Now, we need to add the DECtalk Archive folder. Select the button right
above the "Follers" button, which your screen reader might describe as
"Toggle Dropdown". Then press "Enter a key or link".

 

Locate the text field described as "Use this field to enter a key or link
generated from another device.", and paste the following link:

https://link.resilio.com/#f=DECtalk%20Archive&sz=28E8&t=2&s=5SXCMCWMZ6U74JBL
VITW4UWEPTYMM47GAQISEMMPBJW4NNC7QW6Q&i=CQV6OGHXPQ7E3S6445YMS25WSIXEDA6OT&v=3
.0&a=2

then press Next.

 

You can now choose where you want to save the data from the DECtalk Archive.
The standard location is already writen in the "Path" field. If you're
satisfied with the location, go to the bottom of the site and press Connect.

 

You're good to go. The content in the DECtalk Archive folder will begin to
download automatically. You will also be sending the data to others
connected to the folder. You can close the window with ctrl+w.

 

Kind regards:

Aksel
