Hi, My PTR1 has given up the ghost (the push buttons don't respond). As a result I am about to dispose of it. I now have for sale the following: The battery The mains adapter (UK 3-pin plug). The adapter which slides into the right hand side of the unit and enables the use of a CF card - Hitachi PC Card Adapter for Microdrive. Offers are invited, shipping will depend upon where you are located. Steve Richards

is this still a list?
by Penny Golden 01 Aug '21

01 Aug '21

If so, I am wanting to know if I can buy a NEW Plextalk 2. One of mine is saying that there is no disk when I've just put in a beautifully new music cd. I did it with 3 new disks, and 1 used one that I'd just been creating. no disk. no disk. But at least if I push the eject key as the first thing before it says there is no disk, the disk will pop out. Of course, any help would be appreciated. Best, Penny (Golden) pengold2(a)gmail.com

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

10 Jun '21

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

Hello John. I have two Pockets and a Lineo, and in all cases the units will no longer charge from the mains. However, they will charge from the USB socket. Peter

Audible Books on our plextalk equipment
by Steve Richards 11 Oct '20

11 Oct '20

Hi All, I was extremely frustrated when we learned in June that Audible Books would no longer be compatible with our Plextalk equipment. I have just successfully downloaded a file converter which will convert Audible file format into standard mp3 files suitable for playing on mp3 players, including Plextalk. The interface on the file converter is very simple and although the Audible file is one continuous audio file, the converter enables you to break it down into multiple mp3 files as ten minute blocks or, better still, as per the original, book chapters. If, like me, you use the PRS software, you can make a DAISY version also. The cost for a life time licence is about £27.00 or about £22.00 for a one year licence. The link for the software is copied below. http://www.epubor.com Regards, Steve

Re: question on transferring book to plextalk
by jamie＠cuthbertsons.co.uk 10 Aug '20

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

I currently have a book on my desk top that I would like to transfer over to the plextalk but I don’t know how. Can I use a USB cord to do this as I would a external drive? Can someone give me instructions on how to do this? I would like to transfer it over to my plext talk.
