Updating the Firmware
by Naomi Knudsen 16 Mar '15

16 Mar '15

Hi Everyone, I need some help. I have just got around to updating the firmware on my Plextalk Pocket, and I am having some problems. After trying several times, I finally got the file to download and save to my computer. I unzipped the files into a new folder as instructed and then copied that folder to my PTP. I can see, through my computer, that the files are there on my PTP, but, for some unknown reason, the PTP will not do the update. What am I doing wrong? Please help. Blessings, Naomi in Michigan

PLEXTALK AND AUDIBLE
by Home Mail 15 Mar '15

I have downloaded a book into the Audible Manager and now want to put it onto an SD card so I can play in my Plextalk. Is this possible and, if so, can someone walk me through the necessary steps. I am an absolute novice so will need a lot of "hand holding"! Many thanks. Kind regards Val.Plextalk User Discussion List

Hi all, the Book Port Plus and the PlexTalk Pocket are the same hardware, but different software, as the Book Port will play .BRF files and unfortunatly, the Plextalk won't.

BBC national radio streams have changed format, so need to change streams in Plextalk.
by Flor Lynch 13 Feb '15

Hmany don’t work i, BBC are (as of Wednesday this week) no longer supporting WMA, ACC, or ShoutCast AAC, but o support ShoutCast MP3. I hope this format is supported by Plextalk. (I think it is.) Now, has anybody yet got Plextalk-useable stream URL’s for such BBC national radio streams? (I have understood that AAC is higher quality than MP3; so this is a regressive stop for online streams, IMHO, despite the stuff about Microsoft no longer supporting WMA.)

recording problem

Hi. I've got a recording problem. When recording on my plextalk pocket I just get a second recorded when recording the first thing in a title. What can this be? I just hear my first breath, then nothing more. If I record the next time I get the recording fine. /Kristoffer -- Kristoffer Gustafsson Salängsgatan 7a tel:033-12 60 93 mobil: 0730-500934

Strange behaviour
by Wendy Sharpe 08 Dec '14

08 Dec '14

I have a PTR2. Suddenly a couple of nights ago it started saying tone plus 6 over and over, with little sounds in between. I left it alone, and eventually it stopped, but since then this has recurred several times. When I tried to make a recording onto a blank disk it stopped recording and said there was a write error and to press cancel, which I did. Then came the tone plus 6 problem again, and I could do nothing to stop it. I shut down, which it took a long time to do, turned off the mains and let it rest a while. I then switched on the mains, turned the machine on, and it seems to now be ok. I wonder whether it had something to do with being overloaded in some way. I had both a CF card and a disk in the machine at the time. When I had shut down I removed the card and disk. Now I just have a disk in place, and it is playing that one ok, which is one of my talking books. Can anyone tell me what may have caused this problem? Wendy

ptp1 and ptp1 linio updates
by Aidan 22 Nov '14

22 Nov '14

Hello everyone. This is to inform for those who might not no yet that both the pocket and the linio pocket now got firmware updates. Fixing among other things USB connectivity issues. I no on a number of pc's people had problems. Hope they will have a much more smoover and smarter connecting experience. Only sad thing is that for this update they have done away with the .exe file download. So you must use the .zip file for the UK firmware. Don't no on the US firmware if they kept that file. Goodluck and enjoy. Feel free to report back here or email me directly if someone struggle with the zip download. -- Facebook: m.facebook.com/aidan.maher92 Skype: andries4451 Twitter: smarttalk7 Audioboo: www.audioboo.com/DjSpotlight
