[Nfb-krafters-korner] Plextalk pocket portable player

[Powers, Terry (NIH/OD/DEAS) [E]]

Cathy;
Do you have to use folders?  Can you just put all craft books together, no matter their type?  Looking for something easier to use.

Hello all,

A couple people have expressed interest in the player I am getting for my birthday, so I am posting info to the list.

It is like the NLS player in that you can play books on it using a cartridge. But this player is literally pocket-sized and it can play a wide range of file types including the NLS books, daisy .brf, .txt. doc, .docx and others. It will play .mp3 and .wav files in stereo. You can record notes on it. there are similar players out there such as the Victor reader which you may already be familiar with. But this one is on sale now and I listened to a podcast introduction on it and was impressed, so this is the player I chose. I can hardly wait to download some books from bookshare and transfer the patterns from my computer to the player so I can take them with me.

Here is a description of the features from the manufacturer and contact information for anyone interested.
