5. Overview of the PTR2.
This chapter gives you an overview of the PLEXTALK PTR2 and its main
features. It also details the main differences between the PTR1 and the
PTR2.
5.1. Concept of the PTR2.
The 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 finalise your own audio only DAISY 2.02
books.
The 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.
As the features of these 2 modes alter the behaviour and built in menus of
the PTR2, this guide is written initially with Normal mode in mind. The
additional features in Book Creator mode are discussed in Chapter 19,
towards the end of the guide.
