Book Port Plus represents the latest generation of accessible media
player/recorders. Its small size, quality recording, and unique capabilities
make it an ideal replacement for earlier Digital Talking Book (DTB) players,
or inaccessible commercial digital recorders. Its specialized hardware and
software makes Book Port Plus easier to use, more reliable, and more
flexible than cell phones or PCs that might perform some of its functions.

 

 The quality components and innovative software make Book Port Plus an
excellent music player and outstanding recorder. The reading controls let
you read a wide variety of books in both audio (human speech) and text
(synthetic speech) formats. Its ability to create Digital Talking Book
recordings is unique.
