PTR2
PTR2 is designed to be a high quality recorder with the ability to create DAISY 2.02, audio only, books and Music CDs. It can play DAISY titles, Music CDs and Audio File CDs and CF cards. It can be used as a CD-RW or memory card drive when connected to a computer. For quicker and easier editing of your DAISY content, the PTR2 is supplied with the Plextalk Recording Software (PRS). This package gives you all the necessary tools to record, edit and finalize your own audio only DAISY 2.02 books. PTR2 can be operated in 2 main modes called "Normal" mode and "Book Creator" mode. You can switch between these 2 modes at any time. The PTR2 will be supplied with Normal mode set as the default. Normal mode gives you a simplified interface and makes the process of creating a recording very straightforward. This mode of operation is ideal for a beginner or for someone who wants to make a recording quickly and easily. Some of the more advanced recording and editing features are not available to you in this mode. Book Creator mode gives you all the necessary tools to create a fully structured, audio only, DAISY 2.02 book including insert, punch in and overwrite recording, phrase editing and the ability to set heading levels.
