Ray,

As you are on the PTR1 list, is it fair to assume that you own a PTR1 or PTR2?

If so, I would suggest that, a combination of the hardware recorder with the 
Plextalk Recording Software (PRS) software which comes with it, would be very 
adequate for audio only recordings.

In either case, it is worth getting a decent microphone and pre-amp to ensure a 
reasonable recording level.

If you want to do more clever things with the audio like inserting sound 
effects etc, it is possible to do the recording in a programme such as Sound 
Forge or Adobe Audition/Cool Edit and then import the audio into the PRS 
software to add in the DAISY structure as a second process.

Hope this helps,

Jamie

Thanks for getting back Jamie.

It's spoken material produced in its final edited form I'm most interestedin
producing, something like talking books, but probably with a bit more
navigability.

Ray,

Is it audio only that you want to create or do you want to be able to create
audio and full text DAISY titles.

Jamie
