Hi all!
I am using PTP-1 pocket to record a live performances or rehearsall with good
stereo mic, that I bought together with my old minidisc. It works really well.
I can send you a recording of the vocal group I am teaching, that I made in
old cathedral. It is group of five female singers who are singing a traditional
music from Dalmacia, a region in Croatia. Tell me if you are interested.
Best regards!
Mario

Hey Gord,
Don't know if you've heard about this one, but I just acquired the Plextalk
Pocket that Freedom Scientific introduced a few months back. It's totally
accessible from the ground up. Even though it's a Daisy unit, you can record
Wave files at 16-bit with a sampling rate of 44.1 KHZ. It'll play back 24-bit
files as well; moreover, you can connect a high quality stereo mic to it if
you're going to use it to record a live situation. Even though it records in
Daisy format, you can transfer audio files right to your computer to do
standard editing, etc. It also has line-in capabilities, plus an accessible
recording level meter. It'll also support up to a 32-gig SD card. I'm using it
primarily as a player for support tracks when I'm performing. I would think
that it would do nicely for folks that are looking for something portable that
will give you a decent stereo recording.
I do like the fact that it'll let you read audio and text-based Daisy books,
Audible books, text files, and it has wi-fi capabilities for downloading
podcasts and listening to Web radio stations. You can even record voice memos
too. I haven't used a high quality stereo mic on it as I don't have one as yet.
I think it's a pretty neat little gadget.
Take care.
Mike

It depends on what you mean by accessible. The olympus stuff is the only
thing that has actual voice prompts. If you memorize some basic menus you can
certainly use the zoom h4n which is a much better quality unit and will even
let you do four-channel recording, which I’ve done. It’s just a shame that the
menus wrap. I know that Yamaha has just come out with one, and historically
their menus don’t wrap so it might be worth checking out.
