Freedom Scientific to Distribute PLEXTALK Pocket
World’s Most Advanced Portable DAISY Player
(St. Petersburg, Florida – June 29, 2011) – Freedom Scientific,
the world’s leading provider of technology for people who are
blind or have low vision, today announced an agreement with
Shinano Kenshi Corporation for U.S. distribution of the PLEXTALK
Pocket. The palm-sized PLEXTALK Pocket provides access to
talking books, podcasts, and music on the go, on a device well
equipped for today’s interconnected world.
Listen to audio books from a range of providers, including
Learning Ally, The National Library Service, Audible.com, and
other providers of unencrypted DAISY material such as Freedom
Scientific’s Training Department or Bookshare.org. Handy
navigation functions with clear, human-like speech feedback make
it a snap to get to where you need to be in any DAISY book.
Speed up or slow down narration as required.
Plug in an SD card of up to 32GB and fill it with books, voice
messages, recorded lectures, and your favorite music. The
speaker in PLEXTALK Pocket gives a great sound, or you can use
stereo headphones.
Getting the content you want on the device couldn’t be easier.
There’s no need for special software, no rules about where
content has to go. Simply connect PLEXTALK Pocket to your PC via
the USB cable, and it shows up as a drive in Windows Explorer.
Just drag your selected files over.
The PLEXTALK Pocket is also the only pocket DAISY player with
Wi-Fi built right in. Connect to your Wi-Fi network and transfer
files wirelessly between your computer and PLEXTALK Pocket.
Download a book from the National Library Service’s BARD Web site
for on-the-go listening. Plus, listen to streaming Internet
radio anywhere you have a Wi-Fi connection.
The Only Portable DAISY Player That Is Also a Portable DAISY
Recorder
“The PLEXTALK Pocket is a real powerhouse of a player, so
intuitive to use,” says Jonathan Mosen, Vice President of
Blindness Hardware Product Management, “but it is also a first
class, professional quality recorder.”
“You can take the PLEXTALK Pocket to a lecture, enable its
automatic gain control, and it will do a great job with its
built-in microphone, but you can do so much more. With the press
of a key, you can make headings in the recording, so it’s a snap
to navigate to specific points in the lecture later.”
Freedom Scientific includes PLEXTALK’s powerful PRS editing
software for the PC at no additional charge, with each PLEXTALK
Pocket purchased. This DAISY creation tool enables a student to
record a lecture on the Pocket, take notes on a PAC Mate or PC,
and later merge the two, creating a DAISY book containing
annotated audio of the lecture.
“For blind podcasters and those seriously into audio production,
PLEXTALK Pocket is the only device of its kind to offer an
accessible level meter, for top quality, distortion free
recording even in the most difficult environment,” adds Mosen.
“This is a great addition to our portfolio of products offering
accessibility and productivity.”
Special Introductory Offer
The PLEXTALK Pocket sells for $349. However, as an introductory
offer, Freedom Scientific will be selling it for $275 until
October 31, 2011. Come by our booth at the National Federation
of the Blind conference in Orlando or the American Council of the
Blind conference in Reno to pick up yours.
