Hey Mike, It wasn't the fact of turning the voice guide off, however I was able to set how the guide responded while pressing buttons during recording, so your right about that. -----Original Message----- From: ddots-l-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:ddots-l-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Mike Tyo Sent: Tuesday, August 27, 2013 8:32 PM To: ddots-l@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [ddots-l] Re: Plextalk Pocket was Re: Live gigs <additional comments> James, You can't turn the voice guidance off on the Plextalk; and you wouldn't want to as there's no screen. It's definitely a unit designed for totally blind people. The voice guidance volume has a minimum setting so as not to lose it completely. This would be one situation where a sighted person wouldn't be able to help somebody out; ironic, huh? There are ways to get around this little dilemma for sure; it's just a matter of what's best for a particular setup. I have a very basic 4-channel powered mixer that I use for gigs, and there aren't any mute switches. I have to turn things down when I need to access the player to get my songs up. Until something else comes along, the Plextalk is probably the best thing going. I think that Olympus still has some digital recorders that have decent voice guidance, but I don't know if they can be configured to keep the voice internal when you're using output jacks. Cheers!
