Have a Question That Isn't Answered Here?

[Kezia]

Hi Ayesha!

Seems I missed your reply here

Yes, right now it's not possible to have your Arabic text in the word slide and have the English translation of the text appear as a footnote at the same time -- LR does have a subtitle feature, but basically the subtitle text will depend on the actual word you have in your word slide. If I remember correctly we do have this issue in our long list of possible additions to the next version of Little Reader, but again it's hard to say when we'll get to implementing this particular feature. Rest assured that we are looking into it, especially as are we are already working on a few more non-English curricula.

In the meantime I think the workarounds you and your husband thought of should work just fine.

In addition, how about creating your special texts as images instead, and then add these as Picture Slides in LR? You can then set the playback  mode to "Picture only," and optionally have the "Display words with pictures/videos" disabled (if you included the English footnotes in the images already) or enabled (if you want the English translations to appear below the Arabic-only images, as the actual words you entered in the Word Slide tab).

Unfortunately this suggestion also means you'll need to work on different programs, but I hope this is a good workaround while the subtitle feature update is not yet available.

Hi there,

I downloaded LR and I'm experimenting with creating my own playlists.
My question is:

Some of the audio's cut before they have finished and the next slide appears.  How can I prevent that from happening?

Thanks very much and I would also like to let you know that I'm loving LR for the last 2-3 hours that I have purchased it - thanks a lot!

Hii,

I have been downloading the course content in parts as the speed in my country is very low.

Meanwhile, I started customizing and personalizing LR. However when i imported the fresh downloaded part of course content, all the personalisation done was washed away..Can somebody help? Do i need to start personalizing after i have imported all the parts of both semisters of course content?

Regards
Hemal

Hi Hemal,

Can you kindly confirm if you set any advanced Import options when you imported your content file? If you didn't change any import option, it's likely that the default import option replaced the content you currently had. If you were personalizing the actual trial lessons directly by adding your own pictures/videos/recordings to the words (or without creating your own set of words), LR's default import settings would have overwritten the trial content including the changes you made.

For the next file you import, you can set the following Import options:

1. Open the file you want to import, and in the "Importing..." pop up, click on "Show advanced options"
2. You will then find three importing options, and you can choose how you want LR to handle specific importing conflicts:
       - Replace: this will overwrite the Course / Playlist / Category, Word, or media file you currently have with the one being imported
       - Combine: this will make add the newly imported files to the ones you currently have (e.g., if you changed the pictures for "dog," you'll end up having the default pictures + your own pictures)
       - Rename: this will rename the file(s) being imported (so you will have your personalized version of the word/category, and then another version that has the default content or setting)
       - Skip: conflicting files will not be imported
       - Replace if same size, otherwise Rename: if the media file being imported has the same file name as the one you currently have, the file will be replaced if the file sizes are the same, and if the sizes are different, the file will be renamed and combined with the one you currently have

Unfortunately there is no way to retrieve your personal customizations after these have been replaced with the content file you've imported -- you can just redo your changes for the particular words or categories that got overwritten after importing.

About when you should personalize, you can add your personal settings or files even before importing your curriculum content, but do make sure you set the import settings you want LR to use. It is also alright to customize your content once you're done importing all of your curriculum files -- this way you will have your complete curriculum ready for customizing.

I hope this helps!

Lappy (or somebody else):

I am looking to print some flashcards from the LR lessons, but can't do it from my computer (where the program is activated). I need rather to export as pdf and take it to another computer to print.
How can I do that?
Thanks!

[Kezia]

Hi Tanyaa, when you print from Little Reader's Print screen, you should see a small "Print" dialog pop up (it's the same dialog that appears whenever you print files from Word). At the top of the Print dialog, you'll find a dropdown menu or a box where you can select a printer you'd like to use -- just choose "Adobe PDF" and that should save your printouts in PDF format.

Note that you need to have Adobe Acrobat installed in the same computer where Little Reader is installed because if Acrobat isn't installed, you won't have the "Adobe PDF" printing option.

I've just updated LR to be version 3.1.11. I have 2 questions.

1. What's the difference of version 3.0 and 3.1 .
2. I found that in version3 there is no word flash anymore. I wonder that how can the baby remember the word. So the baby have to remember the word from multisensory part only, isn't it?

Thank you.

[Lappy]

Hi moakmook,

There's not too much of a difference between 3.0 and 3.1 - although we did implement quite a few bug fixes and import issues, so if you can spare the time, it's always best to update to the latest one.

Yes, in the v3 curriculum, we have taken out word flash lessons. Here's a quote from KL's post here:
http://forum.brillkids.com/little-reader/differences-between-lr-v2-and-v3-curriculum-should-you-switch-over/

- Sight Words

We no longer have a Word Flash session at the beginning. Instead, we use the time to show these sight words, in word-flash mode, later on in the lesson.  That's why we now start with Picture Flash.

You can still choose to show Word Flash Lessons (if you really want to) by category - just change the Playback Setting Preset to Word Flash.

Hi Van, kindly refer to this article for detailed instructions on how to update your Little Reader v3: http://support.brillkids.com/entries/20432656-how-to-update-your-little-reader-software-to-the-latest-version

Hi, I have both the Little Reader and Little Math. I had them both installed in our desktop and laptop but both have had hard disk problems and both hard disks have been replaced. I understand that I have license to install them into two computers only. I am in the midst of getting a new laptop for the kids. How do I install them again? Thanks.

[Kezia]

Hi Sophie_mum!

Installing Little Reader and Little Math on your new laptop is done exactly the same way as when you installed the software for the first time.

For detailed instructions, please refer to these articles:

Installing and Setting Up Your Little Reader
http://support.brillkids.com/entries/20370881-installing-and-setting-up-your-little-reader-from-your-brillkids-account

Installing and Setting Up Your Little Math
http://support.brillkids.com/entries/20432326-installing-and-setting-up-your-little-math-from-your-brillkids-account

Also, you may want to remove the Little Reader and Little Math activation records for your old computer to free up an activation slot (especially if you'd like to use the programs on two computers like your laptop and a desktop PC).

For instructions on how t manage your activation records, see: http://support.brillkids.com/entries/20427618-I-want-to-delete-one-of-my-software-activation-records-How-do-I-do-this-

I hope this helps!
