August 22, 2011



NEWSWWIRE:



On August 22 at 8 PM Eastern, Jonathan Mosen, Freedom 
Scientific's Vice President of Blindness Hardware Product 
Management, will demonstrate the Plextalk Pocket, which it is 
distributing in the United States.



The Plextalk Pocket is a powerful media player, capable of 
playing DAISY content including full support for BARD, Learning 
Ally, and Bookshare.  Its WiFi capabilities mean you can listen 
to Internet radio and stream podcasts whenever you have a WiFi 
connection, making it far more than just a player for reading 
books.



Its DAISY recording capabilities, accessible level meter, and 
support for stereo recording for external line-in and microphone 
sources makes this a great tool for students, broadcasters, or 
anyone who needs high quality recordings.



The PRS Pro software, included only with the Plextalk Pocket from 
Freedom Scientific, permits editing of DAISY audio on a PC.



Jonathan will provide a broad overview and demonstration of all 
of these features.
