Yes, but the new Edirol r-09 has no provision for marking sections of
text. One of the technicians at Roland US was bemoaning this lack
this afternoon, as a matter of fact, and did not recommend that
broadcast journalists use that unit.

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.
