Hi Amie,
PCM stands for Pulse Code Modulation. It refers to the way that
sound is converted from analogue to digital form, and as Jamie said,
when the Plextalk range uses PCM it results in a standard Windows WAV
file. This doesn't use data compression as MP3 does, so gives better
quality at the expense of much larger file sizes.
Best,
Peter
