Hello,
The Plextalk hardware and software tries to detect pauses in reading; this
is like a period at the end of a sentence. The background noise can effect
this detection. Also the duration of the pause can be set. Some people
naturally come to a long full stop at the end of a sentence and others make
it fairly short.
I also think that the length of time for automatic insertion of a heading
can be set. If you are doing an A2D transfer, if you play with this, you can
get some good navigation points. Of course, I have messed this up and got a
ton toooo many headings inserted.
Recording meetings or lectures, I normally manually insert those headings.
Best
George
