pocket queries

hi does anyone know if the PTP is still being worked on? i hate the thought of buying a product that costs us a fortune and then no updates happen? how do others find the battery life on this unit? also for me i have several suggestions which i have made to them. 1. firstly can we do more editing on the player itself? such as move headings to lower levels on the device directly should we wish to do so? 2. have it possible to name the book by typing as on a mobile phone so that when it is built it can get moved to the daisy part of the player directly from recordings 3. when i use the recording software i hear the "click" as i move through sections, this is when i have of course, pressed the go to button yet i don't hear the heading title itself do i have to press spacebar for this? 4. finally (and this i have not asked them directly about at plextalk) when i put the SD card in with the supposed US firmware on the root of the card, why is my player, bought from the RNIB not seeing the files to update the voices? kind regards to all and I look forward to responses WIll

Charging the PTP1

Dearest PTP1 Users! Does anyone know how I can willingly use the USB cable to charge the PTP1? It only happens by accident on rare occasions when I am actually making an attempt to use the USB cable to connect the PTP1 to my computer. I then have to restart the machine in order to make it possible to connect to my computer instead, however there are times that I would like to charge the PTP1 with the USB cable. All help welcome! Thank you.

new vocalizer voices for the plextalk
by André van Deventer 12 Sep '12

Hi all I read somewhere that Nuance has not been developing the Realspeak voices for quite a few years now and that they have been replaced by the vocalizer voices. Wonder if Plextalk will also now switch to the new voices? They seem to have a smaller footprint than the older realspeak voices. Andre

Hello all, I found this link to help my brother with signing up for the LEAP program. I think it may be a lot more straight forward than the way I did this. So, I thought I would share. <https://www.bookshare.org/_/promo/2010/01/overDrive> https://www.bookshare.org/_/promo/2010/01/overDrive
