16.6. Muting the guide speech when recording.

For best quality recordings, it is recommended that you mute the internal

guide speech when you are recording through the internal microphone or
through an external microphone. This is to avoid the guide speech being

heard in your final recording. You can mute the guide speech in the

following 3 ways:

• Turn down the guide volume to zero - this option works well for

those that can see the recording status light but is more difficult for

blind users who require the guide speech to confirm whether

PLEXTALK is recording or paused.

• Plug in headphones - all output from PLEXTALK is heard through

the headphones and no guide speech is recorded. This method

works well for all users but means having additional hardware
connected.

• Turn off the guide speech during recording - PLEXTALK provides

you with the ability to automatically turn off guide speech when

you start recording. When you are recording, no guide speech is

heard but guide speech returns automatically when you pause or

stop recording.

Guide speech during recording can be turned off or on as follows:

• Press the Menu key once to access the Main Menu.

• Use the Number 4 or 6 key to go to the "Recording settings" option

and select it by pressing the Enter key.

• Use the Number 4 or 6 key to go to the "Switch over the guidance

while recording" option and select it by pressing the Enter key.

• Use the Number 4 or 6 key to select between "Guidance on" or

"Guidance off" and press the Enter key to confirm your selection.

The menu system will be exited automatically.

NOTE: The selection you make will remain the default setting until you

change it again. The factory default is "Guidance on".
