Talking about plextalk, how can I transfer a book from my desk top to the plextalk? I have the USB cord but where do I put it?

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

question on transfering book to plextalk
by Sugar Lopez 06 Aug '20

06 Aug '20

Hi friends I just received a new plextalk II. I currently have a book on my desk top that I would like to transfer over to the plextalk but I don’t know how. Can I use a USB cord to do this as I would a external drive? Can someone give me instructions on how to do this? I would like to transfer it over to my plext talk. Thanks so much sugar "If we could look into each other's hearts and understand the unique challenges each of us faces, I think we would treat each other much more gently, with more love, patience, tolerance, and care." 🙏 I appreciate your friendship/support at: https://www.gofundme.com/sugars-transplant-journey -Sugar 😘

Moving the list

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.

audible books in the UK
by Steve Richards 09 Jul '20

09 Jul '20

Hi All, Has anyone tried downloading an Audible book for playing on their Plextalk in the last few weeks? I am concerned that some people mentioned Audible were changing the format so we would not be able to play the books on our Plextalk devices. Steve

Cases for pockets
by Sharon S 09 Jun '20

09 Jun '20

Hi all, just wanted to say I bought two cases from executive products for my two pockets the other day. They have arrived and once I was able to get them into the case it is all good. I really like the design of the case so I no longer have to take it out of the case when charging or plugging it into my computer. It has a nice zipper pocket on the front to carry a few SD cards. The hole front of the plextalk is now accessible unlike the case it came with that you have to pull it out of the case for some of the buttons and to charge. The case has a belt clip, a hand strap and a neck strap. The hand and neck strap can be taken off if not needed. I wanted to get another case because my case for my first pocket is falling apart I have had it for so long and since I was buying one I thought I might as well buy two. My only issue is now I can't tell them apart because I was using the symbol on the back of the second one that isn't on the original to tell them apart and you can't access the back when they are in the case. So for now I have left the hand strap on one of them to be able to quickly tell them apart. Just thought I would mention this encase anyone else wanted a case for their pocket. Bye for now.

Audable formats supported
by Andrew Hodgson 27 May '20

27 May '20

Hi, What Audable formats are supported on the Pocket? Some people from another list are complaining they won't be able to download format 4 books anymore, Audable is telling them to use Enhanced format, but they are under the impression the Pocket doesn't support this format. Is this correct? Thanks. Andrew.

Re: Mains Charger for Plextalk pocket

Except for the rare occasion when one decides to update to the latest/greatest version. Then, at least the connected charger/power supply is necessary to complete the authentication for the update. -----Original Message----- From: peter wilkins Sent: Saturday, April 25, 2020 10:19 PM To: Plextalk User Discussion List Subject: [Plextalk] Re: Mains Charger for Plextalk pocket Hello Steve. I have two Plextalk Pockets and a Plextalk Linio. In all cases the units will now not accept charge from a mains charger. I believe this is a common fault. I now charge all my units using a USB charger or computer, and they work fine.
