Hi,
I think what is happening here is that the message is going out with
HTML - and one of the tags is set to English UK. JFW from version 5 did
change the speech language to the relevant language, if the synthesiser
was installed. This means that if using Elloquence, you would have it
change language. I always switch this off, as the UK version of
Elloquence is aporling (it sounds like what people in the US think we
should sound like, not what we actually sound like!).
Thanks.
Andrew.

Andrew,
I have received messages previously from all over the world, of course
many of them from you. This afternoon I was amazed to open this message
and hear your particular accented (or from your prospective I'm sure
non-accented) form of English come out of my speaker. I love it. Do
you know what might account for this? I am running Jaws 5 and I do not
think that it does this automatically.
Oh, and now that I have hit reply the entire message now sounds normal
to me.
Frank Cuta

Hi,
Are you sure you have the PTR1 or just the PTN1 (player) machine?
The PTR1 is a recorder, and the PTN1 is just the player.
Thanks.
Andrew.

Hi everyone,
I've just received the ptr1 machine from RNIb's talking book service.
It was a replacement for the Victor Reader Classic that I've been using
for a long while.
I just have two questions about the ptr1.
I have, what i think is, the basic version, or home version. Doesn't
have as many buttons on the player than the pro version.
Anyway, firstly, I want to know about battery life care.
I listened to the audio CD instructions and it said that the player
should be recharged for four hours after being run down.
Now, what is the best way to recharge the ptr1 battery? Once the
battery needs charging, would I just switch the player on, leave it in
standby mode to charge for those four hours?
I never new how to recharge the victor reader classic, lol.
Secondly, like the Victor reader, is it OK to leave CD in the ptr1 when
switching it off? That is, if I'm still listening to a book and, want
to listen to some more later on, can I leave the CD where it is before
switch off, or must I remove the CD?
I know, the second question is so terribly basic. However, I do wanna
take particular care of this new player I'm renting. It's very smart
indeed, probably more expensive than the previous players I've loaned
from RNIB.
Thanks for any advice.
all the best,
Justin
