The new Victor is a Daisy player with a built-in talking book oriented
voice recorder. It only can do monaural recordings and it can only
record onto SD cards or into the built-in memory. However, it can do one
thing, which the PTR1 can't: It can copy audio bookmarks onto a flash
card. So, if one has a lot of these bookmarks in memory and one
wants to make a firmware update or has to send the Victor to the
manufacturer, because it doesn't work right anymore, one can be
relatively sure to be able to restore all the bookmarks, after the machine
is working normally again. One can even put the bookmarks into the
memory of another Victor. All this isn't possible on the PTR1. One can
copy notes to a CD in the Daisy format with the Plextalk, but one cannot
backup the bookmarks. Could this perhaps be made available in a new
firmware version?
The Plextalk is a Daisy and hifi recorder. The new Victor is a player
with a built-in talking book oriented voice recorder. it needs around 20
seconds to boot, while the normal Plus only needs ten. So if one doesn't
need the recording feature, one may be better off with a classical
classic Plus or another Daisy player. Also, it may take several minutes
to save a long recording on the new Victor. Humanware therefore
recommends to make several shorter recordings instead of one long one.
