Excellent or best microphone for the Plextalk Pocket?
by Flor Lynch 25 Sep '13

25 Sep '13

Hi, Does anyone here have preferences for best stereo microphone to go with the Plextalk Pocket? I have two Sony ones, now quite old, but the ECM217 is quite good with the Plextalk. By best, I mean more powerful I think. (I'd like that because I have a hearing impairment, so i could hear it too on my earphones.)

usb woes
by André van Deventer 11 Sep '13

Hi all It does seem that we all have usb woes with our Plextalk pocket at some stage! Attempting to connect my pocket with a usb cable. I have so many of these cables that to be honest Im not sure whether the one I am now using is the right one. On this computer, the pocket can be charged with the usb cable that is no problem. But it does not recognise the pocket as a device. This means it draws power from the usb port i.e. it is connected but not recognised. Any help from anyone? Andre

Hi all, I agree, Samantha sounds wonderful now, and the speech compression is much better sounding. Have a good one: John John Jacques Amateur Radio Station: KD8PC "Where Cat Is, Is Civilization!" ____________________________________________________________ 30-second trick for a flat belly This daily 30-second trick BOOSTS your body's #1 fat-burning hormone http://thirdpartyoffers.juno.com/TGL3141/522a402c12d8f402c2f80st04duc

I have a Braille Sense U 2 and a Braille Note Apex. I don't use or have access to conventional computers. Can the software be downloaded with either of these 2 braille notetakers? If so, how please? What's the actual url?

Place it on an SD card and put the card in the Plextalk. Turn on the Plextalk and it should then run automatically. Make sure you're plugged into you ac adaptor because it will hound you to do so. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Bob Acosta" <boacosta(a)pacbell.net To: "Plextalk User Discussion List" <plextalk(a)lists.hodgsonfamily.org Sent: Thursday, September 05, 2013 2:38 PM Subject: Re: [Plextalk] pocket firmware update available How do i install the new update?
