Re: Does the Plextalk Pocket read brf?And to add to this, I ask Plextalk Tech support if I could use the UK firmware to read brf files. Here's the response:
Hi Russ, You cannot install the UK English firmware over the US English firmware or switch back and forth. Best regards, Bob Bob Smith-----Original Message----- From: Jamie Cuthbertson

Hi again Russ,Just to add to the thread, I’ve just managed to get access to a .BRF file and test it on my UK English Version 5.03 unit and it does indeed read the file properly. I don’t have access to any .BRL files so can’t confirm if they play or not but I certainly stand corrected on the issue of .BRF files.

If it's a licensing issue, I would be interested in knowing why the Book Port Plus, Victor Reader Stream, and Booksense all support reading brf and brl? -----Original Message----- From: Penny Golden Sent: Saturday, October 22, 2011 2:21 PM To: ptr1-users@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: Re: Does the Plextalk Pocket read brf?

Here's the interesting thing. I contacted the man who did the podcast and he told me it's in the manual that it would read brf and brl. I found nothing in the manual about it. I contacted PLEXTALK Technical Support and here's the email I received: Hi Russ, The US English firmware does not support reading brf and brl files. I believe it is due to a licensing issue in the US.

Hi Russ, OK, then I would have to bow to the superior knowledge of whoever did the podcast, however, on the FS page at the following URL, they don't list these 2 formats: http://www.freedomscientific.com/products/fs/plextalk-pocket-product-page.as p Which version of the firmware are you using?

The reason I ask, Lisening to the July FSCast episode 56 Audio Presentation on the PlexTalk Pocket, it was stated that it would read both brf and brl documents. -----Original Message----- From: Jamie Cuthbertson Sent: Saturday, October 22, 2011 9:05 AM To: ptr1-users@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: RE: Does the Plextalk Pocket read brf? Hi Russ, From memory, No, I don't think so but, as my Microsoft Word is playing silly buggers at the moment, I can't double check my copy of the manual. No doubt someone will put me right if this is wrong!
