August 22, 2011
NEWSWWIRE:
On August 22 at 8 PM Eastern, Jonathan Mosen, Freedom
Scientific's Vice President of Blindness Hardware Product
Management, will demonstrate the Plextalk Pocket, which it is
distributing in the United States.
The Plextalk Pocket is a powerful media player, capable of
playing DAISY content including full support for BARD, Learning
Ally, and Bookshare. Its WiFi capabilities mean you can listen
to Internet radio and stream podcasts whenever you have a WiFi
connection, making it far more than just a player for reading
books.
Its DAISY recording capabilities, accessible level meter, and
support for stereo recording for external line-in and microphone
sources makes this a great tool for students, broadcasters, or
anyone who needs high quality recordings.
The PRS Pro software, included only with the Plextalk Pocket from
Freedom Scientific, permits editing of DAISY audio on a PC.
Jonathan will provide a broad overview and demonstration of all
of these features.
