    Overview The Envoy S - one of MegaVoice’s most innovative and intuitive solar digital audio players yet. Cost effective and smaller than a smartphone, the 2.4 ounce Envoy S is lightweight and also the most powerful teaching and training tool available. The intuitive raised-button keypad with four levels of navigation makes searching hundreds of hours of audio Bible content easy and accessible - even for the elderly or blind.

  • Page 8: Figure 3: Section Navigation Button

    We group our songs in albums and the albums are grouped per artist. We have a very similar structure for the files on the Envoy S! MP3/WAV files are grouped into “Books” and Books are grouped into “Sections”. A typical Bible from the MegaVoice Audio Library is divided into 3 Sections in the following way: •...

  • Page 10: Setting Up The Folder Layout

    BibleName-BookNumber-BookName-ChapterNumber Let’s take the English-NT-KJV audio message and prepare it for the Envoy S. In order to keep the example simple, please note that only select Book and Chapter files appear. We have the first 3 Chapters of the Books Matthew, Mark, 1 Corinthians, 2 Corinthians, Jude and Revelation.
  • Page 11 Then use the copy for loading the players. So let’s create a new folder within our Audio Bibles folder and call it MegaVoice. From this point on, we will refer to that folder as the Audio Project Folder. We’ll copy the contents of the English-NT-KJV folder into it and make our changes here.

  • Page 12: The Language Folder

    The Language Folder First let’s create the Language Folder in the MegaVoice folder. For the Envoy S, there is only one language folder and it must be named “001”. Since we will end up with lots of folders with the same 3-digit sequence number, we will append a meaningful name to help us distinguish between them all.
  • Page 13 “Paste”.  Highlight all the MP3/WAV files and then “drag” them to the “001-Language-English” folder and “drop” them. The MegaVoice folder will now contain only the “001-Language-English” folder. Envoy S User Guide 20170519-30.docx Page 13 of 46...

  • Page 14: The Section Folders

    Sections where the first contains Matthew and Mark, the second contains 1 and 2 Corinthians and the third contains Jude and Revelation. In the Language folder, let’s create the following Section folders: “001-Section-Matthew-Mark”, ”002-Section-1- and-2-Cor” and “003-Section-Jude-Rev”. Envoy S User Guide 20170519-30.docx Page 14 of 46...
  • Page 15 Move all the Chapter files for 1 and 2 Corinthians to ”002-Section-1-and-2-Cor”. Move all the Chapter files for Jude and Revelation to “003-Section-Jude-Rev”. Once you do this, all that the “001-Language-English” folder should contain is our three Section folders. Envoy S User Guide 20170519-30.docx Page 15 of 46...

  • Page 16: The Book Folders And Chapter Files

    Now we will move the Chapter files to their respective “Book” folders. Highlight the Chapter files for Matthew (3 of them in our example) and move them to the “001-Matthew” folder. Highlight the Chapter files for Mark (3 of them) and move them to the “002-Mark” folder. Envoy S User Guide 20170519-30.docx Page 16 of 46...
  • Page 17 Let’s repeat the above process for the next Section, “002-Section-1-and-2-Cor”. Because 1 Corinthians is the first Book in this Section, create folder “001-1-Corinthians”. And create “002-2-Corinthians” for the second Book. Envoy S User Guide 20170519-30.docx Page 17 of 46...
  • Page 18 Again we will move the Chapter files to their respective “Book” folders. Highlight the Chapter files for 1 Corinthians (3 of them in our example) and move them to the “001-1-Corinthians” folder. Highlight the Chapter files for 2 Corinthians (3 of them) and move them to the “002-2-Corinthians” folder. Envoy S User Guide 20170519-30.docx Page 18 of 46...
  • Page 19 And finally, repeat the process for the third Section, “003-Section-Jude-Rev”. Open the folder and create a Book folder for Jude, “001-Jude” and create a folder for Revelation, “002-Revelation”. Envoy S User Guide 20170519-30.docx Page 19 of 46...
  • Page 20 Let’s move the Chapter files to their respective “Book” folders for Section 3. Highlight the (only) Chapter file for Jude and move it to the “001-Jude” folder. Highlight the Chapter files for Revelation (3 of them) and move them to the “002-Revelation” folder. Envoy S User Guide 20170519-30.docx Page 20 of 46...

  • Page 21: Verifying The Intermediate Folder Structure

    Let’s verify what we have so far. Using names that were a combination of the required 3-digit sequence number and a meaningful name should make this easy. Within our Audio Project Folder “MegaVoice” we should only have one folder which is our Language folder. Within the Language folder we should only have our three Section folders.

  • Page 22: Renaming The Folders

    MegaVoice recommends a free file renaming utility that you can install on your PC or Mac. It can be used to rename either files or folders. If you need it, download and install the software.
  • Page 23 The “Open” dialog appears. We can rename our folders in any order desired. Let’s start with the Book folders in each Section folder, followed by the Section folders and finally the Language folder. Navigate to \Audio Bibles\MegaVoice\001-Language-English folder. Highlight the first Section folder “001-Section-Matthew-Mark” and click “Open”.
  • Page 24 In the selected Section folder, we should see the 2 Book folders, “001-Matthew” and “002-Mark”. Now let’s define the rules for how we want to rename all the relevant folders. Go to the “Add Operation” tab and click the “Remove” icon. Envoy S User Guide 20170519-30.docx Page 24 of 46...
  • Page 25 Making sure we are still on the “Add Operation” tab, click the “Add counter” icon. The “Add Operation: Add sequence” dialog appears. Change the “Start” field to “1”. Leave the rest of the fields to default and click the “Add” button. Envoy S User Guide 20170519-30.docx Page 25 of 46...
  • Page 26 Once you set that value and click anywhere else on the dialog, the “Before/After” display at the bottom of the dialog will show you the results. Click the “Add” button. Envoy S User Guide 20170519-30.docx Page 26 of 46...
  • Page 27 “001-Matthew” folder will be renamed to “001” and “002-Mark” will be renamed to “002” – exactly what we want. Click on the “Home” tab, and then click the “Rename” icon. Envoy S User Guide 20170519-30.docx Page 27 of 46...
  • Page 28 (002-Section-1-and-2-Cor) and simply click the “Rename” icon. Repeat this process for the remaining Section 003-Section-Jude-Rev, for the Language folder to rename the 3 Section folders and finally the Audio folder “MegaVoice” to rename the single Language folder.

  • Page 30: Loading Audio Files To The Envoy S

    Loading audio files to the Envoy S Connecting the players for programming To load your audio files to the Envoy S, it is recommended to use the SaberCopy software program (provided by MegaVoice). You may program multiple players at a time, using either multiple USB ports on your PC/Mac or by using a USB expansion HUB.

  • Page 31: Loading The Audio Using Sabercopy

    Using SaberCopy to Program MegaVoice Players. In this example, we will program 2 MegaVoice Envoy S players with a small message from our audio library. 1. Connect the players to the computer using the proper SLS cable. SaberCopy usually detects players automatically when they are connected and disconnected.
  • Page 32 “Destination Folder” field so that it is blank (as in the image below). This tells SaberCopy to duplicate the contents of the folder in the “source” to the “root” of each target player. This is the equivalent of specifying “*.*” for “all files”. Envoy S User Guide 20170519-30.docx Page 32 of 46...
  • Page 33 It is always a good idea to verify the settings on each of the tabs to make sure they are what you want any time you begin a new project. 12. For the Envoy S players, we just need to make sure that “Target Device” is set to “Standard MP3 Player, Smartphone, Tablet, USB”.

  • Page 34: Figure 9: Sabercopy Copy And Check Options

    You can, however, change it to one of the available choices, but we strongly recommend first consulting MegaVoice technical support for optimum settings. 17. Under “Test and Copy Options”, we want to execute the “read/write test before copying”.
  • Page 35 25. Note that you could also click on the “Copy” button appearing in each player line (circled in green), but using “Copy All” is a bit more convenient when you want to load all of the connected/selected players and not just some of them.

  • Page 37: Listen To The Message

    After disconnecting each player, you can listen to the message by holding down the ON/OFF button for one second and your message should begin to play automatically. If it does not, see the Section on Troubleshooting at the end of this document. Figure 10: On/Off button Envoy S User Guide 20170519-30.docx Page 37 of 46...

    You may briefly press the (pause) button to resume playback or turn the player off. The next time the player is turned on, playback will start from the beginning of the message. Envoy S User Guide 20170519-30.docx Page 38 of 46...

  • Page 39: Battery Care And Charging

    Plug the player into any standard computer USB port using a “USB to mini-USB” cable for about 3 hours or until the LED stops blinking. Any MegaVoice SLS, regular or charge-only cable is sufficient. For solar charging, place the player with the solar panel facing bright sunlight for at least 8 hours.

  • Page 40: Charging And Communication Modes

    Depending on the connection type, and the player’s battery level, the LED will blink (indicating communication activity)  Physically unplugging the player from the computer will stop the battery charging process. Envoy S User Guide 20170519-30.docx Page 40 of 46...
