I now have web radio on my plextalk, but nothing from the BBC. What I am after is Radio2, 3, 4, 4-extra, 5-live and world service. Any hints and finding a simple way of loading these would be appreciated. Cheers Jeff

Hi Everyone Following my previous message about reading text one line at a time, I have found a solution. The easiest way to do this is to use the Edit Mode. Pele West

Hi Perhaps this is something they could add in a future up-grade.

Essentially for all the navigation jumps, the default setting is for the Plextalk to continue reading after making the appropriate jump. The only way to get near to what I think you want is to make the jump and press Stop as soon as you hear the next item. This will always be a hit or miss method and you may well miss items or have more than one spoken at a time. Maybe I've missed something but I'm pretty sure this is the case.

Is there a way to make it read text a line at a time? I can set it to start at the beginning of a line but it carries on reading. I am trying to use the Plextalk to check a list which has a new item on each line. I can read word by word, but that is a bit laborious.

Plextalk PTX1
by The Smiths 01 Mar '13

01 Mar '13

Hi I am thinking of purchasing my own Plextalk PTX1. I have a choice of buying either a device running version 3.04NZL or version 3.07aue. I wish to update the device to the current version 5.01 UK English. 5.01UK English is the only English version offered on the Plextalk website. Has anyone on the list purchased a Plextalk PTX1 running either of these versions (one offered in New Zealand and one offered in Australia) and has successfully updated to the standard 5.01UK English? Obviously it is a different English version and I am wondering if it is possible to update on top of an existing different English variation? Kind Regards Janine Smith

PTX1

Hi According to the manual, chapters 6 and 10, it suggests that audible.com books can be played on this device. There is nothing on the Audible or Plextalk website to suggest that this is possible. Has anyone tried playing an audible.com book on it and was it successful? Regards Janine

I was trying to refresh my memory as to the original question, and I bumped into that stuff at the bottom listed over and over again. Anyway, what I was going to say is that I didn't do any of that build book stuff, because the book was already a book, so I just copied the unzipped book and it works.
