Need help finding a PRS produced title
by Jeff Samco 13 Jul '15

13 Jul '15

I created a daisy title using the PRS software. It is not in the folder I thought it should have gone into. I'm using Windows 7 so I did locate it using the search function in the Start menu. But, I'm not very nimble in navigating the results. Can someone help describe how I determine what folder and file path the search results are in? Thanks, Jeff

My PTR2 is behaving strangely
by Wendy Sharpe 11 Jul '15

11 Jul '15

For some time now I have experienced odd things happening with my PTR2. It will suddenly shoot up the speed and tone to the highest levels, either while I am playing something or even while it is not playing. On some occasions it has been difficult for me to stop it continually saying tone 6 and getting things back to normal. I try shutting down, and a while later it will suddenly come to life again and start playing where I have left off. I have tried shutting down and turning the mains off, but it even has been known to boot up with the mains off. I have had it for a few years, and do enjoy not only playing disks but also recording from various sources. Any suggestions would be appreciated. Wendy

Need help putting an Audible book on Plextalk Pocket
by Jeff Samco 11 Jul '15

11 Jul '15

I'm setting up downloading to my Plextalk Pocket for the first time. I am stuck. Here's what I've done. I went to my Audible library using IE on a Windows 7 computer. I went to a purchased title and pressed Enter on download. I went through the setup process for the Audible Download Manager to be installed on my computer. including selecting a Plextalk device as my player. Now, I have the Audible Download Manager open and I can tab from Library to an empty list and the target media of Plextalk SD card. How do I get the empty library list to populate with my purchased books? If I go back to the Audible website and my library, if I press Enter on the download option for my desired book I just get the same instructions and opportunity to download the Audible Download Manager again. Thanks for any help with this. Jeff

PRS and inverted folder order
by Jeff Samco 12 Jun '15

12 Jun '15

I'm using the basic PRS software with Windows 7. I regularly use files from a particular folder to select and import into a daisy book. Until recently they were correctly alphabetically ordered. Now I find the order inverted and it has remained consistently like this. If I use Windows Explorer to look at the same folder it is correctly ordered. I cannot find anything in the PRS menus to correct this inverted order. Any ideas? BTW, this happened to me a couple years ago with a different folder. After several months it corrected itself. Needless to say, I do not know of anything I did to cause this. Thanks, Jeff

Important changes to this list - please read
by Andrew Hodgson 10 Jun '15

Hi all, A new technology has been developed to try and mitigate against non-legitimate and spam email which has been taking off in the last few months. This technology is called DMARC, and unfortunately is not compatible with email lists, as the email lists break the DMARC system and cause emails whose providers publish DMARC information to end up being rejected. This started causing the list server here issues several months ago when users were randomly being kicked off lists. There are a number of ways of mitigating against this issue, and the implementation I have chosen for the lists here will I hope be as non-intrusive to screen reader users as possible. Until yesterday, most of the lists weren't seeing the system in action, but sometime yesterday Gmail decided to publish DMARC records, so the system I put in place started seeing regular use across the lists. Here is the system put in place: For email reaching the list, the system will look up if a DMARC record is published for the domain. If no record is published, the message is sent out to the list as normal. If a DMARC record is published, the email is modified as followed: - The From: header is changed so that the text "Via Listname" is added to the person's name; - The email address in the From: header is replaced by the list address; - The Original from: header is put into the cc: header. This I think gives the best balance of deliverability for all users, without cluttering up screen reader users with other information in the message or the From: header. Yahoogroups have their own way of mitigating this for all messages, and I feel this causes extraneous information to be heard for example using the screen reader. The DMARC website is at www.dmarc.org<http://www.dmarc.org> if you want to see more information. This is a very new standard, and I hope there will be a way devised for people to use mailing lists with this technology in place which has a better solution. Thanks and happy listing, Andrew.
