So, what do I do, Michael, with files I've recorded on the PTR2 where
I've marked various headings and pages, to indicate possible sound
bites? Must I then use the PRS to find and isolate them, and then
move to Sound Forge? I still haven't received an answer to my basic
quewstion from anyone here, even though I think I understand the
overall picutre somewhat better. I'm on tight deadlines and don't
have lots of time to pla around with all kinds of software. So
what's the procedure these possible cuts and isolate them? I assume
I should forget about using the Page or Group keys on the PTR2, since
since using the PRS Audio Export probably won't help me find those
marks; but I assume also that when using the Heading Key on the PTR2,
and then the PRS Audio Export, I'll end up with separate audio files
for each section. So far, niether IRTI in the US, nor Plextor Japan,
hasn't assisted me. Plextor USA a\has washed its hand entirely of
the Plextalk products. I urge people in the USA to contact Plextor
USA's public relations outlet asking Plesxtor to actively support
their Plextalk products. It is unbelieveable to me that Plextor
would decide to provide absolutely no support whatsoever for their
own products. A

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.
