If you just press the heading key, the Plextalks will not create a new
audio file in DAISY recordings.

Without the PRS, you cannot convert the markers, which are set by
pressing the heading key into beginnings of new audio files. One can do
that with the PRS, by using the Audio Export function from the tools
menu. With this function, one can create audio files, which truly
reflect all the inserts, overwrites, heading markers etc. of a DAISY
recording. If you move the recording to a pC, it is no problem to use
the PRS for that.

The PTR2 is a great tool for blind radio journalists. I know some, who
use the Plextalk regularly.

For me, the most important thing in a firmware update would be a better
way to fast forward and rewind. This doesn't work as well as it does on
say the new Edirol R-09.
