what gadget to use for making notes
by Adrien Collins 08 Aug '13

08 Aug '13

Hi I am looking for some kind of gadget to make notes. I am going on holiday soon and I wonder what would be the best gadget to use to make or keep notes in the form of a diary. I have an olympus dm5, plextalk pocket and a nokia c5. I have to remember that I am flying so am limited to what I can carry on the plane. would what I already have be sufficient to keep a diary? On my phone I have quick office. I took my netbook last year but couldn't use it in the hotel as the wifi only worked in the hotel bar and the tables were too low for me to work at being in the wheelchair. I know the pocket can do text editing but I don't know much about it. What about my dm5? Any ideas would be welcome. Regards Adrien

I have been told that the battery for the PTN2 is the same as that used in the PTX1. Is this correct? Can I buy a separate charger, or is it only charged in the player? Thanks, Steve

Hello listers, on windows xp I manage to connect the pocket, then if I want to charch it on USB, I would simply virtually aject it and it will restart and charch. Now that I'm on windows7, its no longer the case. Nothing happens if I safely remove the device but leave it physically connected, it just stays in disk drive moad. Is there perhaps a setting in windows wich could affect this behaviour? Or is it no longer possible to charch the pocket in this mannor on a pc? -- Facebook: m.facebook.com/aidan.maher92 Skype: andries4451 Twitter: smarttalk7 Audioboo: www.audioboo.com/DjSpotlight

Yes, a little extra info will help, if you record something wich will be on the sd card at that point, then you have to build the book first before copying to cd or such.

Re: [Plextalk] Firmware update?

Hi all, I don't see the problem, since the Victor Stream can read them! I was told it was a licensing issue, but why can these other devices do it and not the Plex-talk?

Hi all, though I can't read braille as well as I used to, do to my fingers being less sensitive, there are titles on the bard site in the BRF format that can be listened to with a player that can handle these file tipes, such as the Victor Reader Stream. Unfortunatly, I fried my Stream, do to a stupid mistake on my part, and when I replaced it with a Plextalk Pocket, I was disappointed to find out I could no longer read these files. I still don't understand why, if three diferent companys have license to play these files, why the plextalk doesn't. It sounds like politics to me, but then what do I know! GRIN!
