question about auto in the pocket.
by Penny Golden 10 Jun '21

10 Jun '21

Not an auto in my pocket, you uderstand. There is the auto gain control on my Plextalk Two and also on the plex pocket. I know how to turn it off in the plextalk Two. It is a toggle between my being able to set the record volume level, and the auto gain. Well, I plugged my little sony stereo mike into the Plex Pocket and tried to make a recording tonight. it will say auto, once I found the right key; but how do I get the machine to let me set the record levels? Thanks. no rush. Penny pengold2(a)gmail.com

Re: question on transferring book to plextalk

Hi Sugar, OK, I'm working on a few assumptions here but, if you've got a Plextalk PTN2, you might be able to copy the information onto an SD card and transfer it that way. That assumes that you have an SD card slot on your computer. Alternatively, linking with a USB cable should also be possible (I think) but usually, when you connect most Plextalk devices to a computer, the Plextalk becomes a dumb drive and tends to lose the normal functionality until it is subsequently disconnected. I've not used a PTN2 so can't give you chapter and verse on this, so apologies in advance if I'm talking garbage!

Audible enhanced format book and the Pocket
by Clifford Blackwell 07 Aug '20

07 Aug '20

As many may know, Audible has chosen to move exclusively to their "enhanced format" for their audio books. Unfortunately, the Plextalk family of devices cannot play books in that format. Even more unfortunately, Plextalk does not have any plans to retrofit their devices with the ability to play that format and, to the best of my knowledge, has no plans to release a new player with that capability. I'm wondering if there is any way to convert the enhanced format books into the older format four format so that the Plextalk can play the file. I understand the files will be much larger, but if they were playable, I'd be a very happy guy. I love my Pocket and am very disappointed that Plextalk is ceding this part of the market to other players and companies. Any thoughts or possible suggestions will be greatly appreciated. Clifford

Moving the list
by Andrew Hodgson 02 Aug '20

Guys, As the main reason for keeping this server around has now gone as the client has moved elsewhere, I will look to move this list elsewhere and shut down lists.hodgsonfamily.org. I am probably going to choose Google Groups unless there is a reason anyone hates them with a passion. Thanks. Andrew.
