Shinano Kenshi Introduces PLEXTALK Linio Pocket
The world's first portable DAISY online player and recorder
Brussels - 9 November 2012, Shinano Kenshi Europe today introduced the PLEXTALK Linio Pocket, the world's first portable DAISY online player and recorder, designed for the visually impaired and dyslexic to stream or download talking newspapers, magazines and books online. "PLEXTALK Linio Pocket is the smartest talking book player that we've ever developed in our long experience as a patent company and contributor to the global DAISY standard." said Marc Van der Aa, the sales manager of the assistive technology sales division. "We've designed a device with various advanced capabilities, thin and light weight with 8GB internal memory. You can immediately access any materials of your interest online wherever you have an Internet connection to a DAISY online service. It's not necessary any more to wait for a CD to be delivered or need a computer. We believe it will significantly help customers to reinvent their independent and brilliant life."
The PLEXTALK Linio Pocket is one of the most robust DAISY players and recorders in the world, with its resin case it absorbs shocks and has passed a drop test from 150cm onto a steel floor, and a newly designed beautiful midnight blue color. The key layout is designed to cover all capabilities only using a finger or your thumb, with separated cross keys and numeric keys for intuitive navigation on the drip-proof keypad, which protects against liquids spills.
The PLEXTALK Linio Pocket introduces enhanced audio features including the high-quality Acapela text to speech engine for highly natural narration with the choice of two voices, and PLEXVoice technology guarantees optimal sound quality in lower and higher speed playback, the built-in speaker is optimized to offer clear sound especially for the human voice, and the built-in microphone provides auto gain control system for recording in DAISY format. Users can also take advantage of the advanced full editing functionalities of the PLEXTALK Recording software, free of charge for buyers of the PLEXTALK Linio Pocket.
The PLEXTALK Linio Pocket offers immediate access to DAISY online services in countries such as Finland, The Netherlands, Denmark, Belgium and Japan and more countries in the near future. The PLEXTALK Linio Pocket has access to web radio stations and podcasts through the built-in high speed wireless Internet connection, and detects automatically wireless network access points and security mode. A variety of content is supported such as EPUB and PDF*. Flexible data management by using intuitive commands to drag and drop any content from your personal computers to the PLEXTALK Linio Pocket by using Windows Explorer, or use the intuitively operational PLEXTALK transfer software. The PLEXTALK Linio Pocket also features advanced time management capabilities such as calendar and alarm functions*. *Available soon with a free firmware upgrade.
Availability
PLEXTALK Linio Pocket will roll out in December in the following languages Dutch, English, German and Russian. The other languages will follow suit by free firmware upgrade.
I like the sound of it It sounds similar to the DT in some ways but it sounds like a real nice machine. I hope all plextalk users can have the ability to upgrade from their pocket to this new lineo pocket. Thanks Aidan, nice article. Plextalk is a great company.

I agree there. They inspired APH to really do nice things with the bookport and some of their other devices but I agree in some ways Plextalk can also improve. Nice comment though. On 11/9/12, Steve Nutt <steve@comproom.co.uk> wrote:

Wel, as far as audible goes that will be a problem if audible no longer wish to support our players. I don't no the price, they said now its only in Europe at this stage I think, but soon enough we should no. And the daisy online service is great but I guess that many people con't really take advantage of it just as much as othres could do that. The real bennifit now I think is the acapela, the calendar and alarm, and the epub and pdf support. How long is it now that we want pdf support. That is ausom. I also hope they will provide an upgrade path or something of that nature. On 09/11/2012, emma goodwin <emma.sleeptalk@gmail.com> wrote:

Users can also take advantage of the advanced full editing functionalities of the PLEXTALK Recording software, free of charge for buyers of the PLEXTALK Linio Pocket.

Wel I here what you say, but that is the exact reason why I'm very excited, because the milestone have other fall backs, therefore it will be much better to now have these in plextalk. Its one of the most decent players. Milestone I guess is not to bad but it have to many short comings in my opinion. But if you have one I hope you enjoy it.

We'll see.

Wel, as far as audible goes that will be a problem if audible no longer wish to support our players. I don't no the price, they said now its only in Europe at this stage I think, but soon enough we should no. And the daisy online service is great but I guess that many people con't really take advantage of it just as much as othres could do that. The real bennifit now I think is the acapela, the calendar and alarm, and the epub and pdf support. How long is it now that we want pdf support. That is ausom. I also hope they will provide an upgrade path or something of that nature.

Wel, as far as audible goes that will be a problem if audible no longer wish to support our players. I don't no the price, they said now its only in Europe at this stage I think, but soon enough we should no. And the daisy online service is great but I guess that many people con't really take advantage of it just as much as othres could do that. The real bennifit now I think is the acapela, the calendar and alarm, and the epub and pdf support. How long is it now that we want pdf support. That is ausom. I also hope they will provide an upgrade path or something of that nature.

The world's first portable DAISY online player and recorder
Brussels - 9 November 2012, Shinano Kenshi Europe today introduced the PLEXTALK Linio Pocket, the world's first portable DAISY online player and recorder, designed for the visually impaired and dyslexic to stream or download talking newspapers, magazines and books online. "PLEXTALK Linio Pocket is the smartest talking book player that we've ever developed in our long experience as a patent company and contributor to the global DAISY standard." said Marc Van der Aa, the sales manager of the assistive technology sales division. "We've designed a device with various advanced capabilities, thin and light weight with 8GB internal memory. You can immediately access any materials of your interest online wherever you have an Internet connection to a DAISY online service. It's not necessary any more to wait for a CD to be delivered or need a computer. We believe it will significantly help customers to reinvent their independent and brilliant life."
The PLEXTALK Linio Pocket is one of the most robust DAISY players and recorders in the world, with its resin case it absorbs shocks and has passed a drop test from 150cm onto a steel floor, and a newly designed beautiful midnight blue color. The key layout is designed to cover all capabilities only using a finger or your thumb, with separated cross keys and numeric keys for intuitive navigation on the drip-proof keypad, which protects against liquids spills.
The PLEXTALK Linio Pocket introduces enhanced audio features including the high-quality Acapela text to speech engine for highly natural narration with the choice of two voices, and PLEXVoice technology guarantees optimal sound quality in lower and higher speed playback, the built-in speaker is optimized to offer clear sound especially for the human voice, and the built-in microphone provides auto gain control system for recording in DAISY format. Users can also take advantage of the advanced full editing functionalities of the PLEXTALK Recording software, free of charge for buyers of the PLEXTALK Linio Pocket.
The PLEXTALK Linio Pocket offers immediate access to DAISY online services in countries such as Finland, The Netherlands, Denmark, Belgium and Japan and more countries in the near future. The PLEXTALK Linio Pocket has access to web radio stations and podcasts through the built-in high speed wireless Internet connection, and detects automatically wireless network access points and security mode. A variety of content is supported such as EPUB and PDF*. Flexible data management by using intuitive commands to drag and drop any content from your personal computers to the PLEXTALK Linio Pocket by using Windows Explorer, or use the intuitively operational PLEXTALK transfer software. The PLEXTALK Linio Pocket also features advanced time management capabilities such as calendar and alarm functions*. *Available soon with a free firmware upgrade.

You can immediately access any materials of your interest online wherever you have an Internet connection to a DAISY online service. It's not necessary any more to wait for a CD to be delivered or need a computer. We believe it will significantly help customers to reinvent their independent and brilliant life."
The PLEXTALK Linio Pocket is one of the most robust DAISY players and recorders in the world, with its resin case it absorbs shocks and has passed a drop test from 150cm onto a steel floor, and a newly designed beautiful midnight blue color.

Hi William, I don't know for sure but I wouldn't be surprised if Plextalk have been working closely with RNIB with the intention of extending the BookStream facility to players of this type. There certainly were plans a while back to activate a similar facility in the PTX1 player at some stage - it's already gtot the hardware in the unit but only was going to need a firmware upgrade to activate these components.

Wel, as far as audible goes that will be a problem if audible no longer wish to support our players. I don't no the price, they said now its only in Europe at this stage I think, but soon enough we should no. And the daisy online service is great but I guess that many people con't really take advantage of it just as much as othres could do that.

Most of this is already available in the Milestone 312, so I'm not that impressed yet.
We'll see.

Wel, as far as audible goes that will be a problem if audible no longer wish to support our players. I don't no the price, they said now its only in Europe at this stage I think, but soon enough we should no. And the daisy online service is great but I guess that many people con't really take advantage of it just as much as othres could do that. The real bennifit now I think is the acapela, the calendar and alarm, and the epub and pdf support. How long is it now that we want pdf support. That is ausom. I also hope they will provide an upgrade path or something of that nature.

For my part, I hope it does Audible enhanced audio. None of the Plextalks do that so far, and it's time they did.

For Immediate Release
Shinano Kenshi Introduces PLEXTALK Linio Pocket
The world's first portable DAISY online player and recorder
Brussels - 9 November 2012, Shinano Kenshi Europe today introduced the PLEXTALK Linio Pocket, the world's first portable DAISY online player and recorder, designed for the visually impaired and dyslexic to stream or download talking newspapers, magazines and books online. "PLEXTALK Linio Pocket is the smartest talking book player that we've ever developed in our long experience as a patent company and contributor to the global DAISY standard." said Marc Van der Aa, the sales manager of the assistive technology sales division. "We've designed a device with various advanced capabilities, thin and light weight with 8GB internal memory. You can immediately access any materials of your interest online wherever you have an Internet connection to a DAISY online service. It's not necessary any more to wait for a CD to be delivered or need a computer. We believe it will significantly help customers to reinvent their independent and brilliant life."
The PLEXTALK Linio Pocket is one of the most robust DAISY players and recorders in the world, with its resin case it absorbs shocks and has passed a drop test from 150cm onto a steel floor, and a newly designed beautiful midnight blue color. The key layout is designed to cover all capabilities only using a finger or your thumb, with separated cross keys and numeric keys for intuitive navigation on the drip-proof keypad, which protects against liquids spills.
The PLEXTALK Linio Pocket introduces enhanced audio features including the high-quality Acapela text to speech engine for highly natural narration with the choice of two voices, and PLEXVoice technology guarantees optimal sound quality in lower and higher speed playback, the built-in speaker is optimized to offer clear sound especially for the human voice, and the built-in microphone provides auto gain control system for recording in DAISY format. Users can also take advantage of the advanced full editing functionalities of the PLEXTALK Recording software, free of charge for buyers of the PLEXTALK Linio Pocket.
The PLEXTALK Linio Pocket offers immediate access to DAISY online services in countries such as Finland, The Netherlands, Denmark, Belgium and Japan and more countries in the near future. The PLEXTALK Linio Pocket has access to web radio stations and podcasts through the built-in high speed wireless Internet connection, and detects automatically wireless network access points and security mode. A variety of content is supported such as EPUB and PDF*. Flexible data management by using intuitive commands to drag and drop any content from your personal computers to the PLEXTALK Linio Pocket by using Windows Explorer, or use the intuitively operational PLEXTALK transfer software. The PLEXTALK Linio Pocket also features advanced time management capabilities such as calendar and alarm functions*. *Available soon with a free firmware upgrade.
Availability
PLEXTALK Linio Pocket will roll out in December in the following languages Dutch, English, German and Russian. The other languages will follow suit by free firmware upgrade.

I don't no the price, they said now its only in Europe at this stage I think, but soon enough we should no. And the daisy online service is great but I guess that many people con't really take advantage of it just as much as othres could do that.

Steve, I agree that it depends on what you want, but to say that the Milestone has better quality audio output than the Plextalk Pocket is, in my humble opinion, tripe. I don't use Audible at all so cannot comment on that side of things but, if you want quality sound in terms of playback of audio content, I think the average punter will struggle to tell the difference between most of these kind of devices. If you are talking about the quality of the synthetic speech output when reading things like HTML and TXT files, then you may have a bit of a case. If you then want to do a comparison of the recording quality, again in my opinion, the Plextalk is superior to the majority of the other devices of this type and certainly better than the Milestone. Just my opinion though!

For my part, I hope it does Audible enhanced audio. None of the Plextalks do that so far, and it's time they did.
They are so ahead on some things, and so behind on others.

For Immediate Release
Shinano Kenshi Introduces PLEXTALK Linio Pocket
The world's first portable DAISY online player and recorder
Brussels - 9 November 2012, Shinano Kenshi Europe today introduced the PLEXTALK Linio Pocket, the world's first portable DAISY online player and recorder, designed for the visually impaired and dyslexic to stream or download talking newspapers, magazines and books online. "PLEXTALK Linio Pocket is the smartest talking book player that we've ever developed in our long experience as a patent company and contributor to the global DAISY standard." said Marc Van der Aa, the sales manager of the assistive technology sales division. "We've designed a device with various advanced capabilities, thin and light weight with 8GB internal memory. You can immediately access any materials of your interest online wherever you have an Internet connection to a DAISY online service. It's not necessary any more to wait for a CD to be delivered or need a computer. We believe it will significantly help customers to reinvent their independent and brilliant life."
The PLEXTALK Linio Pocket is one of the most robust DAISY players and recorders in the world, with its resin case it absorbs shocks and has passed a drop test from 150cm onto a steel floor, and a newly designed beautiful midnight blue color. The key layout is designed to cover all capabilities only using a finger or your thumb, with separated cross keys and numeric keys for intuitive navigation on the drip-proof keypad, which protects against liquids spills.
The PLEXTALK Linio Pocket introduces enhanced audio features including the high-quality Acapela text to speech engine for highly natural narration with the choice of two voices, and PLEXVoice technology guarantees optimal sound quality in lower and higher speed playback, the built-in speaker is optimized to offer clear sound especially for the human voice, and the built-in microphone provides auto gain control system for recording in DAISY format. Users can also take advantage of the advanced full editing functionalities of the PLEXTALK Recording software, free of charge for buyers of the PLEXTALK Linio Pocket.
The PLEXTALK Linio Pocket offers immediate access to DAISY online services in countries such as Finland, The Netherlands, Denmark, Belgium and Japan and more countries in the near future. The PLEXTALK Linio Pocket has access to web radio stations and podcasts through the built-in high speed wireless Internet connection, and detects automatically wireless network access points and security mode. A variety of content is supported such as EPUB and PDF*. Flexible data management by using intuitive commands to drag and drop any content from your personal computers to the PLEXTALK Linio Pocket by using Windows Explorer, or use the intuitively operational PLEXTALK transfer software. The PLEXTALK Linio Pocket also features advanced time management capabilities such as calendar and alarm functions*. *Available soon with a free firmware upgrade.
Availability
PLEXTALK Linio Pocket will roll out in December in the following languages Dutch, English, German and Russian. The other languages will follow suit by free firmware upgrade.

Ok, it have 2 gig, I was a bit out, sorry, wel stil to little. One of my biggest problems is that where I am, I con't get hold of 32 gig cards, so now, if I have a milestone together with an 8 or 16 gig card, it won't make a big difference, but if I have this new unit with 8 gig build in memory, plus a 16 gig card, that is talking storage space at least. Its also not as easy to get milestone in all regions, its not as strongly marketed as the more decent players and there must be a good reason for that I suppose. I mean they only started recently to cell it in the US if i'm rite. On 10/11/2012, Steve Nutt <steve@comproom.co.uk> wrote:

If you then want to do a comparison of the recording quality, again in my opinion, the Plextalk is superior to the majority of the other devices of this type and certainly better than the Milestone.
Just my opinion though!

Wel, as far as audible goes that will be a problem if audible no longer wish to support our players. I don't no the price, they said now its only in Europe at this stage I think, but soon enough we should no. And the daisy online service is great but I guess that many people con't really take advantage of it just as much as othres could do that. The real bennifit now I think is the acapela, the calendar and alarm, and the epub and pdf support. How long is it now that we want pdf support. That is ausom. I also hope they will provide an upgrade path or something of that nature.

Brussels - 9 November 2012, Shinano Kenshi Europe today introduced the PLEXTALK Linio Pocket, the world's first portable DAISY online player and recorder, designed for the visually impaired and dyslexic to stream or download talking newspapers, magazines and books online. "PLEXTALK Linio Pocket is the smartest talking book player that we've ever developed in our long experience as a patent company and contributor to the global DAISY standard." said Marc Van der Aa, the sales manager of the assistive technology sales division. "We've designed a device with various advanced capabilities, thin and light weight with 8GB internal memory. You can immediately access any materials of your interest online wherever you have an Internet connection to a DAISY online service. It's not necessary any more to wait for a CD to be delivered or need a computer. We believe it will significantly help customers to reinvent their independent and brilliant life."
The PLEXTALK Linio Pocket is one of the most robust DAISY players and recorders in the world, with its resin case it absorbs shocks and has passed a drop test from 150cm onto a steel floor, and a newly designed beautiful midnight blue color. The key layout is designed to cover all capabilities only using a finger or your thumb, with separated cross keys and numeric keys for intuitive navigation on the drip-proof keypad, which protects against liquids spills.

Users can also take advantage of the advanced full editing functionalities of the PLEXTALK Recording software, free of charge for buyers of the PLEXTALK Linio Pocket.
The PLEXTALK Linio Pocket offers immediate access to DAISY online services in countries such as Finland, The Netherlands, Denmark, Belgium and Japan and more countries in the near future. The PLEXTALK Linio Pocket has access to web radio stations and podcasts through the built-in high speed wireless Internet connection, and detects automatically wireless network access points and security mode. A variety of content is supported such as EPUB and PDF*. Flexible data management by using intuitive commands to drag and drop any content from your personal computers to the PLEXTALK Linio Pocket by using Windows Explorer, or use the intuitively operational PLEXTALK transfer software.

Wel it would be nice if they support more formats yes, but the ITunes files you buy from the store I doubt, maybe just other m4a files will do. I guess their focus is more to make it a player for general reading and enjoyment. Maybe they assume that if you want to play apple files you would use there IPods. Who noes, but I'm sure we will no more in a month or so. On 10/11/2012, Steve Nutt <steve@comproom.co.uk> wrote:

For my part, I hope it does Audible enhanced audio. None of the Plextalks do that so far, and it's time they did.
They are so ahead on some things, and so behind on others.

I like the sound of it It sounds similar to the DT in some ways but it sounds like a real nice machine. I hope all plextalk users can have the ability to upgrade from their pocket to this new lineo pocket. Thanks Aidan, nice article. Plextalk is a great company.

For Immediate Release
Shinano Kenshi Introduces PLEXTALK Linio Pocket
The world's first portable DAISY online player and recorder
Brussels - 9 November 2012, Shinano Kenshi Europe today introduced the PLEXTALK Linio Pocket, the world's first portable DAISY online player and recorder, designed for the visually impaired and dyslexic to stream or download talking newspapers, magazines and books online. "PLEXTALK Linio Pocket is the smartest talking book player that we've ever developed in our long experience as a patent company and contributor to the global DAISY standard." said Marc Van der Aa, the sales manager of the assistive technology sales division. "We've designed a device with various advanced capabilities, thin and light weight with 8GB internal memory. You can immediately access any materials of your interest online wherever you have an Internet connection to a DAISY online service. It's not necessary any more to wait for a CD to be delivered or need a computer. We believe it will significantly help customers to reinvent their independent and brilliant life."
The PLEXTALK Linio Pocket is one of the most robust DAISY players and recorders in the world, with its resin case it absorbs shocks and has passed a drop test from 150cm onto a steel floor, and a newly designed beautiful midnight blue color. The key layout is designed to cover all capabilities only using a finger or your thumb, with separated cross keys and numeric keys for intuitive navigation on the drip-proof keypad, which protects against liquids spills.
The PLEXTALK Linio Pocket introduces enhanced audio features including the high-quality Acapela text to speech engine for highly natural narration with the choice of two voices, and PLEXVoice technology guarantees optimal sound quality in lower and higher speed playback, the built-in speaker is optimized to offer clear sound especially for the human voice, and the built-in microphone provides auto gain control system for recording in DAISY format. Users can also take advantage of the advanced full editing functionalities of the PLEXTALK Recording software, free of charge for buyers of the PLEXTALK Linio Pocket.
The PLEXTALK Linio Pocket offers immediate access to DAISY online services in countries such as Finland, The Netherlands, Denmark, Belgium and Japan and more countries in the near future. The PLEXTALK Linio Pocket has access to web radio stations and podcasts through the built-in high speed wireless Internet connection, and detects automatically wireless network access points and security mode. A variety of content is supported such as EPUB and PDF*. Flexible data management by using intuitive commands to drag and drop any content from your personal computers to the PLEXTALK Linio Pocket by using Windows Explorer, or use the intuitively operational PLEXTALK transfer software. The PLEXTALK Linio Pocket also features advanced time management capabilities such as calendar and alarm functions*. *Available soon with a free firmware upgrade.
Availability
PLEXTALK Linio Pocket will roll out in December in the following languages Dutch, English, German and Russian. The other languages will follow suit by free firmware upgrade.

Well many people don't use Itunes for purchases and I think a 32gig is nice but I don't think its about how much storage you can have. When I offered for you to get a 16 gig thenyou said that there was no need for it and your 8 gig was sufficient enough so you must think carefully about getting a bigger storage space if you not going to use all of it.

Wel it would be nice if they support more formats yes, but the ITunes files you buy from the store I doubt, maybe just other m4a files will do. I guess their focus is more to make it a player for general reading and enjoyment. Maybe they assume that if you want to play apple files you would use there IPods. Who noes, but I'm sure we will no more in a month or so.

Ok, it have 2 gig, I was a bit out, sorry, wel stil to little. One of my biggest problems is that where I am, I con't get hold of 32 gig cards, so now, if I have a milestone together with an 8 or 16 gig card, it won't make a big difference, but if I have this new unit with 8 gig build in memory, plus a 16 gig card, that is talking storage space at least. Its also not as easy to get milestone in all regions, its not as strongly marketed as the more decent players and there must be a good reason for that I suppose. I mean they only started recently to cell it in the US if i'm rite.
Hi,
Exactly, just your opinion. The audio quality of the headphone jack on
milestone is in my opinion better. Again, just my opinion.

Steve,
I agree that it depends on what you want, but to say that the Milestone has better quality audio output than the Plextalk Pocket is, in my humble opinion, tripe. I don't use Audible at all so cannot comment on that side of things but, if you want quality sound in terms of playback of audio content, I think the average punter will struggle to tell the difference between most of these kind of devices.
If you are talking about the quality of the synthetic speech output when reading things like HTML and TXT files, then you may have a bit of a case.
If you then want to do a comparison of the recording quality, again in my opinion, the Plextalk is superior to the majority of the other devices of this type and certainly better than the Milestone.
Just my opinion though!
Jamie

Wel, as far as audible goes that will be a problem if audible no longer wish to support our players. I don't no the price, they said now its only in Europe at this stage I think, but soon enough we should no. And the daisy online service is great but I guess that many people con't really take advantage of it just as much as othres could do that. The real bennifit now I think is the acapela, the calendar and alarm, and the epub and pdf support. How long is it now that we want pdf support. That is ausom. I also hope they will provide an upgrade path or something of that nature.

I just mentioned the 16 gig card ans an example why I don't rave about milestone. But I will see with this new player or otherwise in the near future if I need a bigger card than what I currently have. On 10/11/2012, emma goodwin <emma.sleeptalk@gmail.com> wrote:

Ok, it have 2 gig, I was a bit out, sorry, wel stil to little. One of my biggest problems is that where I am, I con't get hold of 32 gig cards, so now, if I have a milestone together with an 8 or 16 gig card, it won't make a big difference, but if I have this new unit with 8 gig build in memory, plus a 16 gig card, that is talking storage space at least. Its also not as easy to get milestone in all regions, its not as strongly marketed as the more decent players and there must be a good reason for that I suppose. I mean they only started recently to cell it in the US if i'm rite.
Hi,
Exactly, just your opinion. The audio quality of the headphone jack on
milestone is in my opinion better. Again, just my opinion.

Steve,
I agree that it depends on what you want, but to say that the Milestone has better quality audio output than the Plextalk Pocket is, in my humble opinion, tripe. I don't use Audible at all so cannot comment on that side of things but, if you want quality sound in terms of playback of audio content, I think the average punter will struggle to tell the difference between most of these kind of devices.
If you are talking about the quality of the synthetic speech output when reading things like HTML and TXT files, then you may have a bit of a case.
If you then want to do a comparison of the recording quality, again in my opinion, the Plextalk is superior to the majority of the other devices of this type and certainly better than the Milestone.
Just my opinion though!
Jamie

Wel, as far as audible goes that will be a problem if audible no longer wish to support our players. I don't no the price, they said now its only in Europe at this stage I think, but soon enough we should no. And the daisy online service is great but I guess that many people con't really take advantage of it just as much as othres could do that. The real bennifit now I think is the acapela, the calendar and alarm, and the epub and pdf support. How long is it now that we want pdf support. That is ausom. I also hope they will provide an upgrade path or something of that nature.

Hi, That's obvious with any kind of storage. You don't get a bigger cupboard than you need. I do store a lot of music, so the fact that Plex doesn't support music formats is a deal to me, whereas the Milestone and Booksense, and indeed the Stream, do. I suspect it is a licencing issue.

Wel it would be nice if they support more formats yes, but
files you buy from the store I doubt, maybe just other m4a files will do. I guess their focus is more to make it a player for general reading and enjoyment. Maybe they assume that if you want to play apple files you would use there IPods. Who noes, but I'm sure we will no more in a month or so.

Steve,
I agree that it depends on what you want, but to say
has
better quality audio output than the Plextalk Pocket is, in my humble opinion, tripe. I don't use Audible at all so cannot comment on that side of things but, if you want quality sound in terms of
content, I think the average punter will struggle to tell the difference between most of these kind of devices.
If you are talking about the quality of the synthetic speech output when reading things like HTML and TXT files, then you may have a bit of a case.
If you then want to do a comparison of the recording quality, again in my opinion, the Plextalk is superior to the majority of the other devices of this type and certainly better than the Milestone.
Just my opinion though!

If you want sound quality, and better support of Audible, then it beats the Plex hands down.

Ok, it have 2 gig, I was a bit out, sorry, wel stil to
my biggest problems is that where I am, I con't get hold of 32 gig cards, so now, if I have a milestone together with an 8 or 16 gig card, it won't make a big difference, but if I have this new unit with 8 gig build in memory, plus a 16 gig card, that is talking storage space at least. Its also not as easy to get milestone in all regions, its not as strongly marketed as the more decent players and there must be a good reason for that I suppose. I mean they only started recently to cell it in the US if i'm rite.

Steve,
I agree that it depends on what you want, but to say
has
better quality audio output than the Plextalk Pocket is, in my humble opinion, tripe. I don't use Audible at all so cannot comment on that side of things but, if you want quality sound in terms of
content, I think the average punter will struggle to tell the difference between most of these kind of devices.
If you are talking about the quality of the synthetic speech output when reading things like HTML and TXT files, then you may have a bit of a case.
If you then want to do a comparison of the recording quality, again in my opinion, the Plextalk is superior to the majority of the other devices of this type and certainly better than the Milestone.
Just my opinion though!
Jamie

Hi,
Depends on what you want.
If you want sound quality, and better support of Audible, then it beats the Plex hands down.

Wel it would be nice if they support more formats yes, but
files you buy from the store I doubt, maybe just other m4a files will do. I guess their focus is more to make it a player for general reading and enjoyment. Maybe they assume that if you want to play apple files you would use there IPods. Who noes, but I'm sure we will no more in a month or so.

Well many people don't use Itunes for purchases and I think a 32gig is nice but I don't think its about how much storage you can have. When I offered for you to get a 16 gig thenyou said that there was no need for it and your 8 gig was sufficient enough so you must think carefully about getting a bigger storage space if you not going to use all of it.
Wel it would be nice if they support more formats yes, but
files you buy from the store I doubt, maybe just other m4a files will do. I guess their focus is more to make it a player for general reading and enjoyment. Maybe they assume that if you want to play apple files you would use there IPods. Who noes, but I'm sure we will no more in a month or so.

Hi Steve and Everyone I thought the restriction on the Plextalk was the number of files rather than the size of the card. I tried to use a 32Gb SDHC card and it only played some of the albums. It did not see about half of them. If there is a way of getting the Plextalk Pocket to read the whole of the card I would be very interested. Pele West

Wel there is not as many rules for files regarding audio not as strict as other players, but maybe you must make sure, are they the correct format, are they falling in the supported bit and sampling rates? How many folders and files do you have wich are audio only? I just try to find a clue here. On 14/11/2012, emma goodwin <emma.sleeptalk@gmail.com> wrote:

Hold down your menu key and the number on the numpad that you want to assign. It will then say hotkey created. You can only create a hotkey to be on that item but you still have to press the round button in the middle to change it between on and off.

Yes, just a little help, first go to the item you want a hot key for: note you can only make hotkeys for main menu items or any submenus wich have an extra dialog under it, so you cannot stand on the standard playback option and make a hotkey, you must be on shuffel and repeat settings for example, or furder back. The point is once you on the item you want the key for then as emma said you hold down the menu and the number you want to use. Then when you done and want to use it in future, you just make sure you not in the menu, and then hold down the combination. On 15/11/2012, emma goodwin <emma.sleeptalk@gmail.com> wrote:

Yes, just a little help, first go to the item you want a hot key for: note you can only make hotkeys for main menu items or any submenus wich have an extra dialog under it, so you cannot stand on the standard playback option and make a hotkey, you must be on shuffel and repeat settings for example, or furder back. The point is once you on the item you want the key for then as emma said you hold down the menu and the number you want to use. Then when you done and want to use it in future, you just make sure you not in the menu, and then hold down the combination. On 15/11/2012, emma goodwin <emma.sleeptalk@gmail.com> wrote:

Yes, make sure to press play on a folder, not one file, then go to menu>PlayBackSettings>shuffel and repeat settings, and select shuffel from there.

Wel it would be nice if they support more formats yes, but
files you buy from the store I doubt, maybe just other m4a files will do. I guess their focus is more to make it a player for general reading and enjoyment. Maybe they assume that if you want to play apple files you would use there IPods. Who noes, but I'm sure we will no more in a month or so.

Hi,
It's been very slow in the US I have to say.
But I have 2 GB of RAM and a 64GB card in mine.
But I have to say the 8GB of internal memory is great. I just hope they update their sound file support. After all, it can't currently even play your iTunes purchases. What's that all about?
All the best

Ok, it have 2 gig, I was a bit out, sorry, wel stil to
my biggest problems is that where I am, I con't get hold of 32 gig cards, so now, if I have a milestone together with an 8 or 16 gig card, it won't make a big difference, but if I have this new unit with 8 gig build in memory, plus a 16 gig card, that is talking storage space at least. Its also not as easy to get milestone in all regions, its not as strongly marketed as the more decent players and there must be a good reason for that I suppose. I mean they only started recently to cell it in the US if i'm rite.

Steve,
I agree that it depends on what you want, but to say
has
better quality audio output than the Plextalk Pocket is, in my humble opinion, tripe. I don't use Audible at all so cannot comment on that side of things but, if you want quality sound in terms of
content, I think the average punter will struggle to tell the difference between most of these kind of devices.
If you are talking about the quality of the synthetic speech output when reading things like HTML and TXT files, then you may have a bit of a case.
If you then want to do a comparison of the recording quality, again in my opinion, the Plextalk is superior to the majority of the other devices of this type and certainly better than the Milestone.
Just my opinion though!
Jamie

Hi,
Depends on what you want.
If you want sound quality, and better support of Audible, then it beats the Plex hands down.

Wel it would be nice if they support more formats yes, but
files you buy from the store I doubt, maybe just other m4a files will do. I guess their focus is more to make it a player for general reading and enjoyment. Maybe they assume that if you want to play apple files you would use there IPods. Who noes, but I'm sure we will no more in a month or so.

Hi Which brand of card? Bare in mind that the 32 gb card can hold a lot of files and the plextalk can only handle it's either 3 or 6000 files at once.

I agree that it depends on what you want, but to say that the Milestone has better quality audio output than the Plextalk Pocket is, in my humble opinion, tripe. I don't use Audible at all so cannot comment on that side of things but, if you want quality sound in terms of playback of audio content, I think the average punter will struggle to tell the difference between most of these kind of devices.
If you are talking about the quality of the synthetic speech output when reading things like HTML and TXT files, then you may have a bit of a case.
If you then want to do a comparison of the recording quality, again in my opinion, the Plextalk is superior to the majority of the other devices of this type and certainly better than the Milestone.
Just my opinion though!
Jamie

Wel, as far as audible goes that will be a problem if audible no longer wish to support our players. I don't no the price, they said now its only in Europe at this stage I think, but soon enough we should no. And the daisy online service is great but I guess that many people con't really take advantage of it just as much as othres could do that. The real bennifit now I think is the acapela, the calendar and alarm, and the epub and pdf support. How long is it now that we want pdf support. That is ausom. I also hope they will provide an upgrade path or something of that nature.

Wel it would be nice if they support more formats yes, but the ITunes files you buy from the store I doubt, maybe just other m4a files will do. I guess their focus is more to make it a player for general reading and enjoyment. Maybe they assume that if you want to play apple files you would use there IPods. Who noes, but I'm sure we will no more in a month or so. On 10/11/2012, Steve Nutt <steve@comproom.co.uk> wrote:

But I have to say the 8GB of internal memory is great. I just hope they update their sound file support. After all, it can't currently even play your iTunes purchases. What's that all about?

Ok, it have 2 gig, I was a bit out, sorry, wel stil to little. One of my biggest problems is that where I am, I con't get hold of 32 gig cards, so now, if I have a milestone together with an 8 or 16 gig card, it won't make a big difference, but if I have this new unit with 8 gig build in memory, plus a 16 gig card, that is talking storage space at least. Its also not as easy to get milestone in all regions, its not as strongly marketed as the more decent players and there must be a good reason for that I suppose. I mean they only started recently to cell it in the US if i'm rite.

If you then want to do a comparison of the recording quality, again in my opinion, the Plextalk is superior to the majority of the other devices of this type and certainly better than the Milestone.
Just my opinion though!

Wel, as far as audible goes that will be a problem if audible no longer wish to support our players. I don't no the price, they said now its only in Europe at this stage I think, but soon enough we should no. And the daisy online service is great but I guess that many people con't really take advantage of it just as much as othres could do that. The real bennifit now I think is the acapela, the calendar and alarm, and the epub and pdf support. How long is it now that we want pdf support. That is ausom. I also hope they will provide an upgrade path or something of that nature.

If you are talking about the quality of the synthetic speech output when reading things like HTML and TXT files, then you may have a bit of a case.
If you then want to do a comparison of the recording quality, again in my opinion, the Plextalk is superior to the majority of the other devices of this type and certainly better than the Milestone.
Just my opinion though!

Hi,
Depends on what you want.
If you want sound quality, and better support of Audible, then it beats the Plex hands down.
All the best

Wel, as far as audible goes that will be a problem if audible no longer wish to support our players. I don't no the price, they said now its only in Europe at this stage I think, but soon enough we should no. And the daisy online service is great but I guess that many people con't really take advantage of it just as much as othres could do that. The real bennifit now I think is the acapela, the calendar and alarm, and the epub and pdf support. How long is it now that we want pdf support. That is ausom. I also hope they will provide an upgrade path or something of that nature.

For Immediate Release
Shinano Kenshi Introduces PLEXTALK Linio Pocket
The world's first portable DAISY online player and recorder
Brussels - 9 November 2012, Shinano Kenshi Europe today introduced the PLEXTALK Linio Pocket, the world's first portable DAISY online player and recorder, designed for the visually impaired and dyslexic to stream or download talking newspapers, magazines and books online. "PLEXTALK Linio Pocket is the smartest talking book player that we've ever developed in our long experience as a patent company and contributor to the global DAISY standard." said Marc Van der Aa, the sales manager of the assistive technology sales division. "We've designed a device with various advanced capabilities, thin and light weight with 8GB internal memory. You can immediately access any materials of your interest online wherever you have an Internet connection to a DAISY online service. It's not necessary any more to wait for a CD to be delivered or need a computer. We believe it will significantly help customers to reinvent their independent and brilliant life."
The PLEXTALK Linio Pocket is one of the most robust DAISY players and recorders in the world, with its resin case it absorbs shocks and has passed a drop test from 150cm onto a steel floor, and a newly designed beautiful midnight blue color. The key layout is designed to cover all capabilities only using a finger or your thumb, with separated cross keys and numeric keys for intuitive navigation on the drip-proof keypad, which protects against liquids spills.
The PLEXTALK Linio Pocket introduces enhanced audio features including the high-quality Acapela text to speech engine for highly natural narration with the choice of two voices, and PLEXVoice technology guarantees optimal sound quality in lower and higher speed playback, the built-in speaker is optimized to offer clear sound especially for the human voice, and the built-in microphone provides auto gain control system for recording in DAISY format. Users can also take advantage of the advanced full editing functionalities of the PLEXTALK Recording software, free of charge for buyers of the PLEXTALK Linio Pocket.
The PLEXTALK Linio Pocket offers immediate access to DAISY online services in countries such as Finland, The Netherlands, Denmark, Belgium and Japan and more countries in the near future. The PLEXTALK Linio Pocket has access to web radio stations and podcasts through the built-in high speed wireless Internet connection, and detects automatically wireless network access points and security mode. A variety of content is supported such as EPUB and PDF*. Flexible data management by using intuitive commands to drag and drop any content from your personal computers to the PLEXTALK Linio Pocket by using Windows Explorer, or use the intuitively operational PLEXTALK transfer software. The PLEXTALK Linio Pocket also features advanced time management capabilities such as calendar and alarm functions*. *Available soon with a free firmware upgrade.

Wow that's quick, as they normally take a week minimal sometimes, but sound positive. I guess it depend where you are and so on. I'm glad the prices of these cards as wel as flash drives are getting cheaper. Now its only external drives that need to come down a bit. I hope to get a plextore external dvd riter oneday. I'm sure that will work even better with the pocket. On 11/11/2012, André van Deventer <andredbsa@webafrica.org.za> wrote:

Ok, it have 2 gig, I was a bit out, sorry, wel stil to little. One of my biggest problems is that where I am, I con't get hold of 32 gig cards, so now, if I have a milestone together with an 8 or 16 gig card, it won't make a big difference, but if I have this new unit with 8 gig build in memory, plus a 16 gig card, that is talking storage space at least. Its also not as easy to get milestone in all regions, its not as strongly marketed as the more decent players and there must be a good reason for that I suppose. I mean they only started recently to cell it in the US if i'm rite.

I like the sound of it It sounds similar to the DT in some ways but it sounds like a real nice machine. I hope all plextalk users can have the ability to upgrade from their pocket to this new lineo pocket. Thanks Aidan, nice article. Plextalk is a great company.

Ok, it have 2 gig, I was a bit out, sorry, wel stil to little. One of my biggest problems is that where I am, I con't get hold of 32 gig cards, so now, if I have a milestone together with an 8 or 16 gig card, it won't make a big difference, but if I have this new unit with 8 gig build in memory, plus a 16 gig card, that is talking storage space at least. Its also not as easy to get milestone in all regions, its not as strongly marketed as the more decent players and there must be a good reason for that I suppose. I mean they only started recently to cell it in the US if i'm rite.

Steve,
I agree that it depends on what you want, but to say that the Milestone has better quality audio output than the Plextalk Pocket is, in my humble opinion, tripe. I don't use Audible at all so cannot comment on that side of things but, if you want quality sound in terms of playback of audio content, I think the average punter will struggle to tell the difference between most of these kind of devices.
If you are talking about the quality of the synthetic speech output when reading things like HTML and TXT files, then you may have a bit of a case.
If you then want to do a comparison of the recording quality, again in my opinion, the Plextalk is superior to the majority of the other devices of this type and certainly better than the Milestone.
Just my opinion though!
Jamie

Wel, as far as audible goes that will be a problem if audible no longer wish to support our players. I don't no the price, they said now its only in Europe at this stage I think, but soon enough we should no. And the daisy online service is great but I guess that many people con't really take advantage of it just as much as othres could do that. The real bennifit now I think is the acapela, the calendar and alarm, and the epub and pdf support. How long is it now that we want pdf support. That is ausom. I also hope they will provide an upgrade path or something of that nature.

I like the sound of it It sounds similar to the DT in some ways but it sounds like a real nice machine. I hope all plextalk users can have the ability to upgrade from their pocket to this new lineo pocket. Thanks Aidan, nice article. Plextalk is a great company.

Ok, it have 2 gig, I was a bit out, sorry, wel stil to little. One of my biggest problems is that where I am, I con't get hold of 32 gig cards, so now, if I have a milestone together with an 8 or 16 gig card, it won't make a big difference, but if I have this new unit with 8 gig build in memory, plus a 16 gig card, that is talking storage space at least. Its also not as easy to get milestone in all regions, its not as strongly marketed as the more decent players and there must be a good reason for that I suppose.

Steve,
I agree that it depends on what you want, but to say that the Milestone has better quality audio output than the Plextalk Pocket is, in my humble opinion, tripe. I don't use Audible at all so cannot comment on that side of things but, if you want quality sound in terms of playback of audio content, I think the average punter will struggle to tell the difference between most of these kind of devices.
If you are talking about the quality of the synthetic speech output when reading things like HTML and TXT files, then you may have a bit of a case.
If you then want to do a comparison of the recording quality, again in my opinion, the Plextalk is superior to the majority of the other devices of this type and certainly better than the Milestone.

Wel, as far as audible goes that will be a problem if audible no longer wish to support our players. I don't no the price, they said now its only in Europe at this stage I think, but soon enough we should no. And the daisy online service is great but I guess that many people con't really take advantage of it just as much as othres could do that. The real bennifit now I think is the acapela, the calendar and alarm, and the epub and pdf support. How long is it now that we want pdf support. That is ausom. I also hope they will provide an upgrade path or something of that nature.

And the daisy online service is great but I guess that many people con't really take advantage of it just as much as othres could do that. The real bennifit now I think is the acapela, the calendar and alarm, and the epub and pdf support. How long is it now that we want pdf support. That is ausom. I also hope they will provide an upgrade path or something of that nature.

Life, read your emails. It has been said more then once that the price hasn't been assessed for the Lineo pocket. You are on all these lists and you should know by now to first read your emails and then ask. It will be out in December hopefully and then we will know more.

I wrote R320 - South African Rand. Aden is also from SA so I quoted to him what I paid in ZAR
That would be about $40 I think more or less.

I thought the price of 320 I think it was was actually quite good for 32 gb. And it works like a charm. Patriot or something like that if I remember correctly.

Wow that's quick, as they normally take a week minimal sometimes, but sound positive. I guess it depend where you are and so on. I'm glad the prices of these cards as wel as flash drives are getting cheaper. Now its only external drives that need to come down a bit. I hope to get a plextore external dvd riter oneday.

Ok, it have 2 gig, I was a bit out, sorry, wel stil to little. One of my biggest problems is that where I am, I con't get hold of 32 gig cards, so now, if I have a milestone together with an 8 or 16 gig card, it won't make a big difference, but if I have this new unit with 8 gig build in memory, plus a 16 gig card, that is talking storage space at least. Its also not as easy to get milestone in all regions, its not as strongly marketed as the more decent players and there must be a good reason for that I suppose. I mean they only started recently to cell it in the US if i'm rite.

Steve,
I agree that it depends on what you want, but to say that the Milestone has better quality audio output than the Plextalk Pocket is, in my humble opinion, tripe. I don't use Audible at all so cannot comment on that side of things but, if you want quality sound in terms of playback of audio content, I think the average punter will struggle to tell the difference between most of these kind of devices.
If you are talking about the quality of the synthetic speech output when reading things like HTML and TXT files, then you may have a bit of a case.
If you then want to do a comparison of the recording quality, again in my opinion, the Plextalk is superior to the majority of the other devices of this type and certainly better than the Milestone.
Just my opinion though!
Jamie

Ok, it have 2 gig, I was a bit out, sorry, wel stil to little. One of my biggest problems is that where I am, I con't get hold of 32 gig cards, so now, if I have a milestone together with an 8 or 16 gig card, it won't make a big difference, but if I have this new unit with 8 gig build in memory, plus a 16 gig card, that is talking storage space at least. Its also not as easy to get milestone in all regions, its not as strongly marketed as the more decent players and there must be a good reason for that I suppose. I mean they only started recently to cell it in the US if i'm rite.

Steve,
I agree that it depends on what you want, but to say that the Milestone has better quality audio output than the Plextalk Pocket is, in my humble opinion, tripe. I don't use Audible at all so cannot comment on that side of things but, if you want quality sound in terms of playback of audio content, I think the average punter will struggle to tell the difference between most of these kind of devices.
If you are talking about the quality of the synthetic speech output when reading things like HTML and TXT files, then you may have a bit of a case.
If you then want to do a comparison of the recording quality, again in my opinion, the Plextalk is superior to the majority of the other devices of this type and certainly better than the Milestone.
Just my opinion though!
Jamie

Wel, as far as audible goes that will be a problem if audible no longer wish to support our players. I don't no the price, they said now its only in Europe at this stage I think, but soon enough we should no. And the daisy online service is great but I guess that many people con't really take advantage of it just as much as othres could do that. The real bennifit now I think is the acapela, the calendar and alarm, and the epub and pdf support. How long is it now that we want pdf support. That is ausom. I also hope they will provide an upgrade path or something of that nature.

Ok, it have 2 gig, I was a bit out, sorry, wel stil to little. One of my biggest problems is that where I am, I con't get hold of 32 gig cards, so now, if I have a milestone together with an 8 or 16 gig card, it won't make a big difference, but if I have this new unit with 8 gig build in memory, plus a 16 gig card, that is talking storage space at least. Its also not as easy to get milestone in all regions, its not as strongly marketed as the more decent players and there must be a good reason for that I suppose. I mean they only started recently to cell it in the US if i'm rite.

Steve,
I agree that it depends on what you want, but to say that the Milestone has better quality audio output than the Plextalk Pocket is, in my humble opinion, tripe. I don't use Audible at all so cannot comment on that side of things but, if you want quality sound in terms of playback of audio content, I think the average punter will struggle to tell the difference between most of these kind of devices.
If you are talking about the quality of the synthetic speech output when reading things like HTML and TXT files, then you may have a bit of a case.
If you then want to do a comparison of the recording quality, again in my opinion, the Plextalk is superior to the majority of the other devices of this type and certainly better than the Milestone.
Just my opinion though!
Jamie

If you want sound quality, and better support of Audible, then it beats the Plex hands down.

Wel, as far as audible goes that will be a problem if audible no longer wish to support our players. I don't no the price, they said now its only in Europe at this stage I think, but soon enough we should no. And the daisy online service is great but I guess that many people con't really take advantage of it just as much as othres could do that. The real bennifit now I think is the acapela, the calendar and alarm, and the epub and pdf support. How long is it now that we want pdf support. That is ausom. I also hope they will provide an upgrade path or something of that nature.

Ok, it have 2 gig, I was a bit out, sorry, wel stil to little. One of my biggest problems is that where I am, I con't get hold of 32 gig cards, so now, if I have a milestone together with an 8 or 16 gig card, it won't make a big difference, but if I have this new unit with 8 gig build in memory, plus a 16 gig card, that is talking storage space at least. Its also not as easy to get milestone in all regions, its not as strongly marketed as the more decent players and there must be a good reason for that I suppose. I mean they only started recently to cell it in the US if i'm rite.

Steve,
I agree that it depends on what you want, but to say that the Milestone has better quality audio output than the Plextalk Pocket is, in my humble opinion, tripe. I don't use Audible at all so cannot comment on that side of things but, if you want quality sound in terms of playback of audio content, I think the average punter will struggle to tell the difference between most of these kind of devices.
If you are talking about the quality of the synthetic speech output when reading things like HTML and TXT files, then you may have a bit of a case.
If you then want to do a comparison of the recording quality, again in my opinion, the Plextalk is superior to the majority of the other devices of this type and certainly better than the Milestone.
Just my opinion though!
Jamie

If you want sound quality, and better support of Audible, then it beats the Plex hands down.

Wel, as far as audible goes that will be a problem if audible no longer wish to support our players. I don't no the price, they said now its only in Europe at this stage I think, but soon enough we should no. And the daisy online service is great but I guess that many people con't really take advantage of it just as much as othres could do that. The real bennifit now I think is the acapela, the calendar and alarm, and the epub and pdf support. How long is it now that we want pdf support. That is ausom. I also hope they will provide an upgrade path or something of that nature.

Ok, it have 2 gig, I was a bit out, sorry, wel stil to little. One of my biggest problems is that where I am, I con't get hold of 32 gig cards, so now, if I have a milestone together with an 8 or 16 gig card, it won't make a big difference, but if I have this new unit with 8 gig build in memory, plus a 16 gig card, that is talking storage space at least. Its also not as easy to get milestone in all regions, its not as strongly marketed as the more decent players and there must be a good reason for that I suppose. I mean they only started recently to cell it in the US if i'm rite.

Steve,
I agree that it depends on what you want, but to say that the Milestone has better quality audio output than the Plextalk Pocket is, in my humble opinion, tripe. I don't use Audible at all so cannot comment on that side of things but, if you want quality sound in terms of playback of audio content, I think the average punter will struggle to tell the difference between most of these kind of devices.
If you are talking about the quality of the synthetic speech output when reading things like HTML and TXT files, then you may have a bit of a case.
If you then want to do a comparison of the recording quality, again in my opinion, the Plextalk is superior to the majority of the other devices of this type and certainly better than the Milestone.
Just my opinion though!
Jamie

If you want sound quality, and better support of Audible, then it beats the Plex hands down.

Wel, as far as audible goes that will be a problem if audible no longer wish to support our players. I don't no the price, they said now its only in Europe at this stage I think, but soon enough we should no. And the daisy online service is great but I guess that many people con't really take advantage of it just as much as othres could do that. The real bennifit now I think is the acapela, the calendar and alarm, and the epub and pdf support. How long is it now that we want pdf support. That is ausom. I also hope they will provide an upgrade path or something of that nature.

Ok, it have 2 gig, I was a bit out, sorry, wel stil to little. One of my biggest problems is that where I am, I con't get hold of 32 gig cards, so now, if I have a milestone together with an 8 or 16 gig card, it won't make a big difference, but if I have this new unit with 8 gig build in memory, plus a 16 gig card, that is talking storage space at least. Its also not as easy to get milestone in all regions, its not as strongly marketed as the more decent players and there must be a good reason for that I suppose. I mean they only started recently to cell it in the US if i'm rite.

Steve,
I agree that it depends on what you want, but to say that the Milestone has better quality audio output than the Plextalk Pocket is, in my humble opinion, tripe. I don't use Audible at all so cannot comment on that side of things but, if you want quality sound in terms of playback of audio content, I think the average punter will struggle to tell the difference between most of these kind of devices.
If you are talking about the quality of the synthetic speech output when reading things like HTML and TXT files, then you may have a bit of a case.
If you then want to do a comparison of the recording quality, again in my opinion, the Plextalk is superior to the majority of the other devices of this type and certainly better than the Milestone.
Just my opinion though!
Jamie

Hi,
Depends on what you want.
If you want sound quality, and better support of Audible, then it beats the Plex hands down.

Wel, as far as audible goes that will be a problem if audible no longer wish to support our players. I don't no the price, they said now its only in Europe at this stage I think, but soon enough we should no. And the daisy online service is great but I guess that many people con't really take advantage of it just as much as othres could do that. The real bennifit now I think is the acapela, the calendar and alarm, and the epub and pdf support. How long is it now that we want pdf support. That is ausom. I also hope they will provide an upgrade path or something of that nature.

Ok, it have 2 gig, I was a bit out, sorry, wel stil to little. One of my biggest problems is that where I am, I con't get hold of 32 gig cards, so now, if I have a milestone together with an 8 or 16 gig card, it won't make a big difference, but if I have this new unit with 8 gig build in memory, plus a 16 gig card, that is talking storage space at least. Its also not as easy to get milestone in all regions, its not as strongly marketed as the more decent players and there must be a good reason for that I suppose. I mean they only started recently to cell it in the US if i'm rite.

Steve,
I agree that it depends on what you want, but to say that the Milestone has better quality audio output than the Plextalk Pocket is, in my humble opinion, tripe. I don't use Audible at all so cannot comment on that side of things but, if you want quality sound in terms of playback of audio content, I think the average punter will struggle to tell the difference between most of these kind of devices.
If you are talking about the quality of the synthetic speech output when reading things like HTML and TXT files, then you may have a bit of a case.
If you then want to do a comparison of the recording quality, again in my opinion, the Plextalk is superior to the majority of the other devices of this type and certainly better than the Milestone.
Just my opinion though!

Wel, as far as audible goes that will be a problem if audible no longer wish to support our players. I don't no the price, they said now its only in Europe at this stage I think, but soon enough we should no. And the daisy online service is great but I guess that many people con't really take advantage of it just as much as othres could do that.

I also hope they will provide an upgrade path or something of that nature.

Hi all, got the below message from Bob at Plextalk Support. Hi Rich, Got your voice mail also, so this will cover both. The Linio Pocket will be available only in Europe. No pricing set by retailers but I believe it will run a bit more expensive than the standard Pocket. Units purchased in Europe will only be able to use European languages, e.g., UK English, so purchasing one there for domestic use won't gain you anything. CNIB (Canada) is still ramping up DAISY Online Delivery Protocol (DOPD) with the PTX1. After they come on line, the Linio Pocket MAY be available in Canadian Markets. I have no idea when NLS or other providers will implement DOPD. It is in their interest from a financial point of view to do so, since it would save them shipping charges on their cartridges. More in the customer interest too since a computer is not needed. I assume the standard Pocket will still be available in the US for some time.

Hi all, got the below message from Bob at Plextalk Support.
Hi Rich, Got your voice mail also, so this will cover both.
The Linio Pocket will be available only in Europe. No pricing set by retailers but I believe it will run a bit more expensive than the standard Pocket. Units purchased in Europe will only be able to use European languages, e.g., UK English, so purchasing one there for domestic use won't gain you anything.
CNIB (Canada) is still ramping up DAISY Online Delivery Protocol (DOPD) with the PTX1. After they come on line, the Linio Pocket MAY be available in Canadian Markets.
I have no idea when NLS or other providers will implement DOPD. It is in their interest from a financial point of view to do so, since it would save them shipping charges on their cartridges. More in the customer interest too since a computer is not needed.
I assume the standard Pocket will still be available in the US for some time.
Best regards,
Bob

Steve,
I agree that it depends on what you want, but to say that the
Milestone has better quality audio output than the Plextalk Pocket is,
in my humble opinion, tripe. I don't use Audible at all so cannot
comment on that side of things but, if you want quality sound in terms
of playback of audio content, I think the average punter will struggle
to tell the difference between most of these kind of devices.
If you are talking about the quality of the synthetic speech output
when reading things like HTML and TXT files, then you may have a bit of
a
case.
If you then want to do a comparison of the recording quality, again in
my opinion, the Plextalk is superior to the majority of the other
devices of this type and certainly better than the Milestone.
Just my opinion though!

For Immediate Release
Shinano Kenshi Introduces PLEXTALK Linio Pocket
The world's first portable DAISY online player and recorder
Brussels - 9 November 2012, Shinano Kenshi Europe today introduced
the PLEXTALK Linio Pocket, the world's first portable DAISY online
player and recorder, designed for the visually impaired and
dyslexic to stream or download talking newspapers, magazines and
books
online.
"PLEXTALK Linio Pocket is the smartest talking book player that
we've ever developed in our long experience as a patent company
and contributor to the global DAISY standard." said Marc Van der
Aa, the sales manager of the assistive technology sales division.
"We've designed a device with various advanced capabilities, thin
and light weight with 8GB internal memory. You can immediately
access any materials of your interest online wherever you have an
Internet connection to a DAISY online service. It's not necessary
any more to wait for a CD to be delivered or need a computer. We
believe it will significantly help customers to reinvent their
independent and brilliant life."
The PLEXTALK Linio Pocket is one of the most robust DAISY players
and recorders in the world, with its resin case it absorbs shocks
and has passed a drop test from 150cm onto a steel floor, and a
newly designed beautiful midnight blue color. The key layout is
designed to cover all capabilities only using a finger or your
thumb, with separated cross keys and numeric keys for intuitive
navigation on the drip-proof keypad, which protects against liquids
spills.
The PLEXTALK Linio Pocket introduces enhanced audio features
including the high-quality Acapela text to speech engine for
highly natural narration with the choice of two voices, and
PLEXVoice technology guarantees optimal sound quality in lower and
higher speed playback, the built-in speaker is optimized to offer
clear sound especially for the human voice, and the built-in
microphone provides auto gain control system for recording in
DAISY format. Users can also take advantage of the advanced full
editing functionalities of the PLEXTALK Recording software, free
of charge for buyers of the PLEXTALK Linio Pocket.
The PLEXTALK Linio Pocket offers immediate access to DAISY online
services in countries such as Finland, The Netherlands, Denmark,

Hi all, got the below message from Bob at Plextalk Support.
Hi Rich, Got your voice mail also, so this will cover both.
The Linio Pocket will be available only in Europe. No pricing set by retailers but I believe it will run a bit more expensive than the standard Pocket. Units purchased in Europe will only be able to use European languages, e.g., UK English, so purchasing one there for domestic use won't gain you anything.
CNIB (Canada) is still ramping up DAISY Online Delivery Protocol (DOPD) with the PTX1. After they come on line, the Linio Pocket MAY be available in Canadian Markets.
I have no idea when NLS or other providers will implement DOPD. It is in their interest from a financial point of view to do so, since it would save them shipping charges on their cartridges. More in the customer interest too since a computer is not needed.
I assume the standard Pocket will still be available in the US for some time.
Best regards,
Bob

Ok, it have 2 gig, I was a bit out, sorry, wel stil to little. One of my
biggest problems is that where I am, I con't get hold of 32 gig cards,
so
now, if I have a milestone together with an 8 or 16 gig card, it won't
make
a big difference, but if I have this new unit with
8 gig build in memory, plus a 16 gig card, that is talking storage space
at
least. Its also not as easy to get milestone in all regions, its not as
strongly marketed as the more decent players and there must be a good
reason
for that I suppose. I mean they only started recently to cell it in the
US
if i'm rite.

Steve,
I agree that it depends on what you want, but to say that the
Milestone has better quality audio output than the Plextalk Pocket is,
in my humble opinion, tripe. I don't use Audible at all so cannot
comment on that side of things but, if you want quality sound in terms
of playback of audio content, I think the average punter will struggle
to tell the difference between most of these kind of devices.
If you are talking about the quality of the synthetic speech output
when reading things like HTML and TXT files, then you may have a bit of
a
case.
If you then want to do a comparison of the recording quality, again in
my opinion, the Plextalk is superior to the majority of the other
devices of this type and certainly better than the Milestone.
Just my opinion though!
Jamie

Wel, as far as audible goes that will be a problem if audible no
longer wish to support our players. I don't no the price, they said
now its only in Europe at this stage I think, but soon enough we
should no. And the daisy online service is great but I guess that many
people con't really take advantage of it just as much as othres could
do that. The real bennifit now I think is the acapela, the calendar
and alarm, and the epub and pdf support. How long is it now that we
want pdf support. That is ausom. I also hope they will provide an
upgrade path or something of that nature.

Steve,
I agree that it depends on what you want, but to say that the
Milestone has better quality audio output than the Plextalk Pocket is,
in my humble opinion, tripe. I don't use Audible at all so cannot
comment on that side of things but, if you want quality sound in terms
of playback of audio content, I think the average punter will struggle
to tell the difference between most of these kind of devices.
If you are talking about the quality of the synthetic speech output
when reading things like HTML and TXT files, then you may have a bit of
a
case.
If you then want to do a comparison of the recording quality, again in
my opinion, the Plextalk is superior to the majority of the other
devices of this type and certainly better than the Milestone.
Just my opinion though!
Jamie

Hi,
Depends on what you want.
If you want sound quality, and better support of Audible, then it
beats the Plex hands down.

Wel, as far as audible goes that will be a problem if audible no
longer wish to support our players. I don't no the price, they said
now its only in Europe at this stage I think, but soon enough we
should no. And the daisy online service is great but I guess that many
people con't really take advantage of it just as much as othres could
do that. The real bennifit now I think is the acapela, the calendar

Hi all, got the below message from Bob at Plextalk Support.
Hi Rich, Got your voice mail also, so this will cover both.
The Linio Pocket will be available only in Europe. No pricing set by retailers but I believe it will run a bit more expensive than the standard Pocket. Units purchased in Europe will only be able to use European languages, e.g., UK English, so purchasing one there for domestic use won't gain you anything.
CNIB (Canada) is still ramping up DAISY Online Delivery Protocol (DOPD) with the PTX1. After they come on line, the Linio Pocket MAY be available in Canadian Markets.
I have no idea when NLS or other providers will implement DOPD. It is in their interest from a financial point of view to do so, since it would save them shipping charges on their cartridges. More in the customer interest too since a computer is not needed.
I assume the standard Pocket will still be available in the US for some time.
Best regards,
Bob

Ok, it have 2 gig, I was a bit out, sorry, wel stil to little. One of my
biggest problems is that where I am, I con't get hold of 32 gig cards,
so
now, if I have a milestone together with an 8 or 16 gig card, it won't
make
a big difference, but if I have this new unit with
8 gig build in memory, plus a 16 gig card, that is talking storage space
at
least. Its also not as easy to get milestone in all regions, its not as
strongly marketed as the more decent players and there must be a good
reason
for that I suppose. I mean they only started recently to cell it in the
US
if i'm rite.

Hi all, got the below message from Bob at Plextalk Support.
Hi Rich, Got your voice mail also, so this will cover both.
The Linio Pocket will be available only in Europe. No pricing set by retailers but I believe it will run a bit more expensive than the standard Pocket. Units purchased in Europe will only be able to use European languages, e.g., UK English, so purchasing one there for domestic use won't gain you anything.
CNIB (Canada) is still ramping up DAISY Online Delivery Protocol (DOPD) with the PTX1. After they come on line, the Linio Pocket MAY be available in Canadian Markets.
I have no idea when NLS or other providers will implement DOPD. It is in their interest from a financial point of view to do so, since it would save them shipping charges on their cartridges. More in the customer interest too since a computer is not needed.
I assume the standard Pocket will still be available in the US for some time.
Best regards,
Bob

Ok, it have 2 gig, I was a bit out, sorry, wel stil to little. One of my
biggest problems is that where I am, I con't get hold of 32 gig cards,
so
now, if I have a milestone together with an 8 or 16 gig card, it won't
make
a big difference, but if I have this new unit with
8 gig build in memory, plus a 16 gig card, that is talking storage space
at
least. Its also not as easy to get milestone in all regions, its not as
strongly marketed as the more decent players and there must be a good
reason
for that I suppose. I mean they only started recently to cell it in the
US
if i'm rite.

Steve,
I agree that it depends on what you want, but to say that the
Milestone has better quality audio output than the Plextalk Pocket is,
in my humble opinion, tripe. I don't use Audible at all so cannot
comment on that side of things but, if you want quality sound in terms
of playback of audio content, I think the average punter will struggle
to tell the difference between most of these kind of devices.
If you are talking about the quality of the synthetic speech output
when reading things like HTML and TXT files, then you may have a bit of
a
case.
If you then want to do a comparison of the recording quality, again in
my opinion, the Plextalk is superior to the majority of the other
devices of this type and certainly better than the Milestone.
Just my opinion though!
Jamie

Wel, as far as audible goes that will be a problem if audible no
longer wish to support our players. I don't no the price, they said
now its only in Europe at this stage I think, but soon enough we
should no. And the daisy online service is great but I guess that many
people con't really take advantage of it just as much as othres could
do that. The real bennifit now I think is the acapela, the calendar
and alarm, and the epub and pdf support. How long is it now that we
want pdf support. That is ausom. I also hope they will provide an
upgrade path or something of that nature.

higher speed playback, the built-in speaker is optimized to offer
clear sound especially for the human voice, and the built-in
microphone provides auto gain control system for recording in

editing functionalities of the PLEXTALK Recording software, free
of charge for buyers of the PLEXTALK Linio Pocket.
The PLEXTALK Linio Pocket offers immediate access to DAISY online
services in countries such as Finland, The Netherlands, Denmark,
Belgium and Japan and more countries in the near future. The

8 gig build in memory, plus a 16 gig card, that is talking storage space
at
least. Its also not as easy to get milestone in all regions, its not as
strongly marketed as the more decent players and there must be a good
reason
for that I suppose. I mean they only started recently to cell it in the
US
if i'm rite.

Steve,
I agree that it depends on what you want, but to say that the
Milestone has better quality audio output than the Plextalk Pocket is,
in my humble opinion, tripe. I don't use Audible at all so cannot
comment on that side of things but, if you want quality sound in terms
of playback of audio content, I think the average punter will struggle
to tell the difference between most of these kind of devices.
If you are talking about the quality of the synthetic speech output
when reading things like HTML and TXT files, then you may have a bit of
a
case.
If you then want to do a comparison of the recording quality, again in
my opinion, the Plextalk is superior to the majority of the other
devices of this type and certainly better than the Milestone.
Just my opinion though!
Jamie

Hi all, got the below message from Bob at Plextalk Support.
Hi Rich, Got your voice mail also, so this will cover both.
The Linio Pocket will be available only in Europe. No pricing set by retailers but I believe it will run a bit more expensive than the standard Pocket. Units purchased in Europe will only be able to use European languages, e.g., UK English, so purchasing one there for domestic use won't gain you anything.
CNIB (Canada) is still ramping up DAISY Online Delivery Protocol (DOPD) with the PTX1. After they come on line, the Linio Pocket MAY be available in Canadian Markets.
I have no idea when NLS or other providers will implement DOPD. It is in their interest from a financial point of view to do so, since it would save them shipping charges on their cartridges. More in the customer interest too since a computer is not needed.
I assume the standard Pocket will still be available in the US for some time.
Best regards,
Bob

Hi all, got the below message from Bob at Plextalk Support.
Hi Rich, Got your voice mail also, so this will cover both.
The Linio Pocket will be available only in Europe. No
retailers but I believe it will run a bit more expensive
standard Pocket. Units purchased in Europe will only be able to use European languages, e.g., UK English, so purchasing one
domestic use won't gain you anything.
CNIB (Canada) is still ramping up DAISY Online Delivery Protocol (DOPD) with the PTX1. After they come on line, the Linio Pocket MAY be available in Canadian Markets.
I have no idea when NLS or other providers will implement DOPD. It is in their interest from a financial point of view to do so, since it would save them shipping charges on their cartridges. More in the customer interest too since a computer is not needed.
I assume the standard Pocket will still be available in
time.
Best regards,
Bob

storage space

strongly marketed as the more decent players and there
must be a good
reason
for that I suppose. I mean they only started recently to

Steve,
I agree that it depends on what you want, but to say that
[mailto:plextalk-bounces@lists.hodgsonfamily.org<plextalk-bo unces@lists.hodgsonfamily.org>] the
Milestone has better quality audio output than the
Plextalk Pocket is,
in my humble opinion, tripe. I don't use Audible at all
so cannot
comment on that side of things but, if you want quality
sound in terms
of playback of audio content, I think the average punter
will struggle
to tell the difference between most of these kind of
devices.
If you are talking about the quality of the synthetic
speech output
when reading things like HTML and TXT files, then you may
have a bit of
a
case.
If you then want to do a comparison of the recording
quality, again in
my opinion, the Plextalk is superior to the majority of
the other
devices of this type and certainly better than the
Milestone.
Just my opinion though!
Jamie

For Immediate Release
Shinano Kenshi Introduces PLEXTALK Linio Pocket
The world's first portable DAISY online player and
recorder
Brussels - 9 November 2012, Shinano Kenshi Europe today
introduced
the PLEXTALK Linio Pocket, the world's first portable
DAISY online
player and recorder, designed for the visually impaired
and
dyslexic to stream or download talking newspapers,
magazines and
books
online.
"PLEXTALK Linio Pocket is the smartest talking book player
that
we've ever developed in our long experience as a patent
company
and contributor to the global DAISY standard." said Marc
Van der
Aa, the sales manager of the assistive technology sales
division.
"We've designed a device with various advanced
capabilities, thin
and light weight with 8GB internal memory. You can
immediately
access any materials of your interest online wherever you
have an
Internet connection to a DAISY online service. It's not
necessary
any more to wait for a CD to be delivered or need a
computer. We
believe it will significantly help customers to reinvent
their
independent and brilliant life."
The PLEXTALK Linio Pocket is one of the most robust DAISY
players
and recorders in the world, with its resin case it absorbs
shocks
and has passed a drop test from 150cm onto a steel floor,
and a
newly designed beautiful midnight blue color. The key
layout is
designed to cover all capabilities only using a finger or
your
thumb, with separated cross keys and numeric keys for
intuitive
navigation on the drip-proof keypad, which protects
against liquids
spills.
The PLEXTALK Linio Pocket introduces enhanced audio
features
including the high-quality Acapela text to speech engine
for
highly natural narration with the choice of two voices,
and
PLEXVoice technology guarantees optimal sound quality in
lower and
higher speed playback, the built-in speaker is optimized
to offer
clear sound especially for the human voice, and the
built-in
microphone provides auto gain control system for recording
in
DAISY format. Users can also take advantage of the
advanced full
editing functionalities of the PLEXTALK Recording
software, free
of charge for buyers of the PLEXTALK Linio Pocket.
The PLEXTALK Linio Pocket offers immediate access to DAISY
online
services in countries such as Finland, The Netherlands,
Denmark,
Belgium and Japan and more countries in the near future.
The
PLEXTALK Linio Pocket has access to web radio stations and
podcasts through the built-in high speed wireless Internet
connection, and detects automatically wireless network
access
points and security mode. A variety of content is
supported such
as EPUB and PDF*. Flexible data management by using
intuitive
commands to drag and drop any content from your personal
computers
to the PLEXTALK Linio Pocket by using Windows Explorer, or
use the
intuitively operational PLEXTALK transfer software. The
PLEXTALK
Linio Pocket also features advanced time
management
capabilities such as calendar and alarm functions*.
*Available soon with a free firmware upgrade.
Availability
PLEXTALK Linio Pocket will roll out in December in the
following
languages Dutch, English, German and Russian. The other
languages
will follow suit by free firmware upgrade.

storage space
at
least. Its also not as easy to get milestone in all
regions, its not as
strongly marketed as the more decent players and there
must be a good
reason
for that I suppose. I mean they only started recently to
cell it in the
US
if i'm rite.

Steve,
I agree that it depends on what you want, but to say that
[mailto:plextalk-bounces@lists.hodgsonfamily.org<plextalk-bo unces@lists.hodgsonfamily.org>] the
Milestone has better quality audio output than the
Plextalk Pocket is,
in my humble opinion, tripe. I don't use Audible at all
so cannot
comment on that side of things but, if you want quality
sound in terms
of playback of audio content, I think the average punter
will struggle
to tell the difference between most of these kind of
devices.
If you are talking about the quality of the synthetic
speech output
when reading things like HTML and TXT files, then you may
have a bit of
a
case.
If you then want to do a comparison of the recording
quality, again in
my opinion, the Plextalk is superior to the majority of
the other
devices of this type and certainly better than the
Milestone.
Just my opinion though!

The adapter issue is not a problem with plextalk because they all support the complete voltage range you would need for different countrys. You just need a converter, wich you can find at a good electronic store, for those in the US, it will probibly be radio shak. On 15/11/2012, Adrien Collins <adriencollins22160@gmail.com> wrote:

Hi all, got the below message from Bob at Plextalk Support.
Hi Rich, Got your voice mail also, so this will cover both.
The Linio Pocket will be available only in Europe. No
retailers but I believe it will run a bit more expensive
standard Pocket. Units purchased in Europe will only be able to use European languages, e.g., UK English, so purchasing one
domestic use won't gain you anything.
CNIB (Canada) is still ramping up DAISY Online Delivery Protocol (DOPD) with the PTX1. After they come on line, the Linio Pocket MAY be available in Canadian Markets.
I have no idea when NLS or other providers will implement DOPD. It is in their interest from a financial point of view to do so, since it would save them shipping charges on their cartridges. More in the customer interest too since a computer is not needed.
I assume the standard Pocket will still be available in
time.
Best regards,
Bob

Ok, it have 2 gig, I was a bit out, sorry, wel stil to little. One of my biggest problems is that where I am, I con't get hold of 32 gig cards, so now, if I have a milestone together with an 8 or 16 gig card, it won't make a big difference, but if I have this new unit with 8 gig build in memory, plus a 16 gig card, that is talking storage space at least. Its also not as easy to get milestone in all regions, its not as strongly marketed as the more decent players and there must be a good reason for that I suppose. I mean they only started recently to cell it in the US if i'm rite.

Steve,
I agree that it depends on what you want, but to say that the Milestone has better quality audio output than the Plextalk Pocket is, in my humble opinion, tripe. I don't use Audible at all so cannot comment on that side of things but, if you want quality sound in terms of playback of audio content, I think the average punter will struggle to tell the difference between most of these kind of devices.
If you are talking about the quality of the synthetic speech output when reading things like HTML and TXT files, then you may have a bit of a case.
If you then want to do a comparison of the recording quality, again in my opinion, the Plextalk is superior to the majority of the other devices of this type and certainly better than the Milestone.
Just my opinion though!
Jamie

Wel, as far as audible goes that will be a problem if audible no longer wish to support our players. I don't no the price, they said now its only in Europe at this stage I think, but soon enough we should no. And the daisy online service is great but I guess that many people con't really take advantage of it just as much as othres could do that. The real bennifit now I think is the acapela, the calendar and alarm, and the epub and pdf support. How long is it now that we want pdf support. That is ausom. I also hope they will provide an upgrade path or something of that nature.

Ok, it have 2 gig, I was a bit out, sorry, wel stil to little. One of my biggest problems is that where I am, I con't get hold of 32 gig cards, so now, if I have a milestone together with an 8 or 16 gig card, it won't make a big difference, but if I have this new unit with 8 gig build in memory, plus a 16 gig card, that is talking storage space at least. Its also not as easy to get milestone in all regions, its not as strongly marketed as the more decent players and there must be a good reason for that I suppose. I mean they only started recently to cell it in the US if i'm rite. On 10/11/2012, Steve Nutt <steve@comproom.co.uk> wrote:
Hi,
Exactly, just your opinion. The audio quality of the headphone jack on the milestone is in my opinion better. Again, just my opinion.
All the best

Steve,
I agree that it depends on what you want, but to say that the Milestone has better quality audio output than the Plextalk Pocket is, in my humble opinion, tripe. I don't use Audible at all so cannot comment on that side of things but, if you want quality sound in terms of playback of audio content, I think the average punter will struggle to tell the difference between most of these kind of devices.
If you are talking about the quality of the synthetic speech output when reading things like HTML and TXT files, then you may have a bit of a case.
If you then want to do a comparison of the recording quality, again in my opinion, the Plextalk is superior to the majority of the other devices of this type and certainly better than the Milestone.
Just my opinion though!
Jamie

Hi,
Depends on what you want.
If you want sound quality, and better support of Audible, then it beats the Plex hands down.

Hi,
Most of this is already available in the Milestone 312, so I'm not that impressed yet.
We'll see.

Wel, as far as audible goes that will be a problem if audible no longer wish to support our players. I don't no the price, they said now its only in Europe at this stage I think, but soon enough we should no. And the daisy online service is great but I guess that many people con't really take advantage of it just as much as othres could do that. The real bennifit now I think is the acapela, the calendar and alarm, and the epub and pdf support. How long is it now that we want pdf support. That is ausom. I also hope they will provide an upgrade path or something of that nature.

Users can also take advantage of the advanced full editing functionalities of the PLEXTALK Recording software, free of charge for buyers of the PLEXTALK Linio Pocket.
The PLEXTALK Linio Pocket offers immediate access to DAISY online services in countries such as Finland, The Netherlands, Denmark, Belgium and Japan and more countries in the near future.

Yes, I think the older pocket and the newer pocket at this moement is too similar but those things are nice for those people who have a pocket and if there are upgrade packages or a way to get the new pocket then that is an added bonus but you have to be sure it will do what you need but some people may just stick with the origional pocket.

Hi,
For my part, I hope it does Audible enhanced audio. None of the Plextalks do that so far, and it's time they did.
They are so ahead on some things, and so behind on others.
All the best

For Immediate Release
Shinano Kenshi Introduces PLEXTALK Linio Pocket
The world's first portable DAISY online player and recorder
Brussels - 9 November 2012, Shinano Kenshi Europe today introduced the PLEXTALK Linio Pocket, the world's first portable DAISY online player and recorder, designed for the visually impaired and dyslexic to stream or download talking newspapers, magazines and books online. "PLEXTALK Linio Pocket is the smartest talking book player that we've ever developed in our long experience as a patent company and contributor to the global DAISY standard." said Marc Van der Aa, the sales manager of the assistive technology sales division. "We've designed a device with various advanced capabilities, thin and light weight with 8GB internal memory. You can immediately access any materials of your interest online wherever you have an Internet connection to a DAISY online service. It's not necessary any more to wait for a CD to be delivered or need a computer. We believe it will significantly help customers to reinvent their independent and brilliant life."
The PLEXTALK Linio Pocket is one of the most robust DAISY players and recorders in the world, with its resin case it absorbs shocks and has passed a drop test from 150cm onto a steel floor, and a newly designed beautiful midnight blue color. The key layout is designed to cover all capabilities only using a finger or your thumb, with separated cross keys and numeric keys for intuitive navigation on the drip-proof keypad, which protects against liquids spills.
The PLEXTALK Linio Pocket introduces enhanced audio features including the high-quality Acapela text to speech engine for highly natural narration with the choice of two voices, and PLEXVoice technology guarantees optimal sound quality in lower and higher speed playback, the built-in speaker is optimized to offer clear sound especially for the human voice, and the built-in microphone provides auto gain control system for recording in DAISY format. Users can also take advantage of the advanced full editing functionalities of the PLEXTALK Recording software, free of charge for buyers of the PLEXTALK Linio Pocket.
The PLEXTALK Linio Pocket offers immediate access to DAISY online services in countries such as Finland, The Netherlands, Denmark, Belgium and Japan and more countries in the near future. The PLEXTALK Linio Pocket has access to web radio stations and podcasts through the built-in high speed wireless Internet connection, and detects automatically wireless network access points and security mode. A variety of content is supported such as EPUB and PDF*. Flexible data management by using intuitive commands to drag and drop any content from your personal computers to the PLEXTALK Linio Pocket by using Windows Explorer, or use the intuitively operational PLEXTALK transfer software. The PLEXTALK Linio Pocket also features advanced time management capabilities such as calendar and alarm functions*. *Available soon with a free firmware upgrade.
Availability
PLEXTALK Linio Pocket will roll out in December in the following languages Dutch, English, German and Russian. The other languages will follow suit by free firmware upgrade.

I wished that the Pocket supported all of the following file types: MP3, MP4, OGG, WAV, WMV, FLAC, WMA, and ASF. Audible content from Audible.com.

Wel, as far as audible goes that will be a problem if audible no longer wish to support our players. I don't no the price, they said now its only in Europe at this stage I think, but soon enough we should no. And the daisy online service is great but I guess that many people con't really take advantage of it just as much as othres could do that. The real bennifit now I think is the acapela, the calendar and alarm, and the epub and pdf support. How long is it now that we want pdf support. That is ausom. I also hope they will provide an upgrade path or something of that nature.

Users can also take advantage of the advanced full editing functionalities of the PLEXTALK Recording software, free of charge for buyers of the PLEXTALK Linio Pocket.
The PLEXTALK Linio Pocket offers immediate access to DAISY online services in countries such as Finland, The Netherlands, Denmark, Belgium and Japan and more countries in the near future.

A variety of content is supported such as EPUB and PDF*. Flexible data management by using intuitive commands to drag and drop any content from your personal computers to the PLEXTALK Linio Pocket by using Windows Explorer, or use the intuitively operational PLEXTALK transfer software.

People just need to be patient and willing to give APH time to sort and make arrangements with NLS and I don't know how quickly NLS is to do what they need to from their sides so its both parties but I hope for your guys sake NLS support will be available for all devices.

Brussels - 9 November 2012, Shinano Kenshi Europe today introduced the PLEXTALK Linio Pocket, the world's first portable DAISY online player and recorder, designed for the visually impaired and dyslexic to stream or download talking newspapers, magazines and books online. "PLEXTALK Linio Pocket is the smartest talking book player that we've ever developed in our long experience as a patent company and contributor to the global DAISY standard." said Marc Van der Aa, the sales manager of the assistive technology sales division. "We've designed a device with various advanced capabilities, thin and light weight with 8GB internal memory. You can immediately access any materials of your interest online wherever you have an Internet connection to a DAISY online service. It's not necessary any more to wait for a CD to be delivered or need a computer. We believe it will significantly help customers to reinvent their independent and brilliant life."
The PLEXTALK Linio Pocket is one of the most robust DAISY players and recorders in the world, with its resin case it absorbs shocks and has passed a drop test from 150cm onto a steel floor, and a newly designed beautiful midnight blue color. The key layout is designed to cover all capabilities only using a finger or your thumb, with separated cross keys and numeric keys for intuitive navigation on the drip-proof keypad, which protects against liquids spills.
The PLEXTALK Linio Pocket introduces enhanced audio features including the high-quality Acapela text to speech engine for highly natural narration with the choice of two voices, and PLEXVoice technology guarantees optimal sound quality in lower and higher speed playback, the built-in speaker is optimized to offer clear sound especially for the human voice, and the built-in microphone provides auto gain control system for recording in DAISY format. Users can also take advantage of the advanced full editing functionalities of the PLEXTALK Recording software, free of charge for buyers of the PLEXTALK Linio Pocket.
The PLEXTALK Linio Pocket offers immediate access to DAISY online services in countries such as Finland, The Netherlands, Denmark, Belgium and Japan and more countries in the near future. The PLEXTALK Linio Pocket has access to web radio stations and podcasts through the built-in high speed wireless Internet connection, and detects automatically wireless network access points and security mode. A variety of content is supported such as EPUB and PDF*. Flexible data management by using intuitive commands to drag and drop any content from your personal computers to the PLEXTALK Linio Pocket by using Windows Explorer, or use the intuitively operational PLEXTALK transfer software. The PLEXTALK Linio Pocket also features advanced time management capabilities such as calendar and alarm functions*. *Available soon with a free firmware upgrade.
Availability
PLEXTALK Linio Pocket will roll out in December in the following languages Dutch, English, German and Russian. The other languages will follow suit by free firmware upgrade.

The DT is almost ready for NLS content. People just need to be patient and willing to give APH time to sort and make arrangements with NLS and I don't know how quickly NLS is to do what they need to from their sides so its both parties but I hope for your guys sake NLS support will be available for all devices.

As Aidan says, there is no price yet. It probably will be made known later this month or when its released. It should play NLS Rus. I don't see wy it wouldn't. I can understand audable but NLS shouldn't have any problems on this new device.

Hi,
For my part, I hope it does Audible enhanced audio. None of the Plextalks do that so far, and it's time they did.
They are so ahead on some things, and so behind on others.
All the best
