Hi,
You can't change the settings for the quick record. We made it act like a
memo recorder so we pre-defined some defaults. You can use the voice
recorder tool to set things more the way you like them.

the perkins way would be much faster we should probably have both.
so now I have my icon.
when it reads some files it pronounces quotes as "back quotes" i cant
find any way to control the ammount of punctuation spoken.
also how do I get to change quick recording settings. I can get to
change recording settings but not quick recording settings.
i have used disk drive mode I wish there was a faster way to transfer
data it would take a long time to move say 10gb over but it's cool to
have the option.
so the only way to look through mp3 files without id3 tags is with file
explorer? that's ok just checking.
Wish i had more knowledge about console mode before I try it. how do you
get out of it cansel i guess?
some things i'd like to see in the bookshelf when reading books
1 to navigate by percentage in the file.
2 to be able to see what page you are on or what percentage in the file
you're at.
I got used to the percentage using the bookport and then the roadrunner
before that.
What do people think of th ecarrying case? Do any of you wish there was
a flap covering the buttons, or is leaving them open ok.
