The blindness ones don't for the most part. I can't say much for the sence
ones since I don't remember. Olympus recorders would be the best option here
I think.

Subject: Handheld recorder with recording timer

I am wondering whether any of the hand held devices such as but not limited
to the VR Stream, the Plextalk pocket, and the Hims units have some form of
a recording timer.
Often, I wish to record something from the TV or the radio a program which
airs late at night, and I do not wish to change everything around so as to
connect to my computer. Presently, my only other option is a talking VCR
which is already obsolete, and at some point can no longer be repaired.  So,
please tell me if other such options are available.

Thanks.

the pocket can do this. during the custom recording setup it will ask you 
for start times and end times.

Ah, thanks for letting us know that. I at least did not know that. Weight,
are you sure? What he wants is where you say I want you to start recording
at 7 and stop at 10 for instance. What I remember plextalks having is where
you either have it start as soon as you hit the button, or when it hears
some thing. Note the sound detection thing didn't really work all that well
from what I've seen.

well all I know is that the custom settings have both a start time and an 
end time. and there are other options like sound detection to. Now I don't 
know how reliable any of that is as I don't use those features. In fact 
sense I got my ls 100 I don't use the pocket for recording much at all. I

Ah yeah. I don't recall the PTR2 having one. Very interesting. I had a PTR2
once, It's gone now though. Ah the goodold PTR2. Sometimes I want to buy
another one but come on, $895 for something that the cards don't exist for
any more almost? You can find a select few on Amazon, but who's to say
they'll really work? Pluss, like you said, the LS 100 does better quality
recording anyways. It does HD. But part of me still loves the good old PTR2.
But I digress, point is, that's cool man. I don't the PTR2 having it, but if
it does that's cool. The PTP1 does now you remind me of it. But I forgot.

RE: Handheld recorder with recording timer

2013-03-09 Thread Hamit Campos
Oh yeah, you can find them alright. But when you want to get one for the
PTR2 it gets harder. I'll tell you abit why just so as not to leav you
hanging, but I won't go too deep as it maybe off topic. But perhaps not.
Here it is. Basicly the problem is this, heck you can buy them at staples
but it's the ultra 2 ones. The PTR1 and 2 want either type 1 or 2. They
don't like Ultra 2. They lock up when you put one in. That's the company's
falt though. I don't get why the PTR2 didn't accept type Ultra 2 cards since
it came out in 2005 I think. Or was it 6? Is it too little too Late? Is that
something that they could still fix with firmware if they chose to? Or would
they have to reforge the PTR2 to put a new card reader in it? The cards are
essentially the same but for speed. Like I said, Amazon has them, or at
least 2, but one I'm not sure of, and the Sandisk one is $40 for only 4 GB.
IS it just me or does any one here agree that $40 is a little too much for
only 4GB. I actually wander about this too, and this maybe another topic for
a whole new thread. Is something like the PTR2 even worth buying anymore? Or
is it just just for mastaljicreasons. You know what I mean? It's just cool,
one may just love it just because and for almost just collection purposes
you may want one. But it's $895. With all the limitations and let's be
honest, dying or dead tech in it, is $895 to get it  from IRTI even fair
anymore? I don't know if anyone wants to debate this or least make their
views known, but there you have mine. But yeah, to get off the sope box and
back to the main point, you can find the cards, but it's not guarantied the
ones you may find will work.

Yeh, I get what you say in many ways, I do feel however that why do
they stil make the machine if it might not be so much in use anymore.
They don't update the hardware either. But I think if you no why you
want it and if you no you can use it alot its stil werth the money,
but you rite that most people will have to compare the amount of money
with what they get for it. But I guess if you buy the sandisk cards,
chances for locking up is maybe less, although I couldn't test that.

Yeh, I get what you say in many ways, I do feel however that why do they
stil make the machine if it might not be so much in use anymore.
They don't update the hardware either. But I think if you no why you want it
and if you no you can use it alot its stil werth the money, but you rite
that most people will have to compare the amount of money with what they get
for it. But I guess if you buy the sandisk cards, chances for locking up is
maybe less, although I couldn't test that.

Wel, maybe something to add here is that if this is the case with

instead, as it offer many of the ptr2 features with some extras and of
corse newer hardware, and also alot cheaper. Just a thought.

Yep, that's what I thought when I first heard of the Book port Desk Top. For
thoughs who wander what the DT stands for. Um I guess it may even some what
feel like a PTR 2 from what someone hinted at on the Accessible Devices
podcast? Interesting if it is so. After all I guess APH has teemed up with
the Plextalk guys. So, I guess that in some respects, the BP DT is a PTR3 so
to speak. I just wanted to see what people thought. There must be enough
people buying the PTR2 as is though if they continue to sell it as is and
not modernize it. It's not fair though since they want the same amount of
money as in 2006.

RE: Handheld recorder with recording timer

2013-03-10 Thread Hamit Campos
Yep, think about this, the small BP is essentially the PTP1. AKA, the Pocket
with more stuff. You wish they could update what again? If the PTR2, I think
it has to be reforged. I don't really know though. The CF card thing for
instance, wouldn't firmware fix that? I forgot to ask the tech support guy
about that. But they do have to reforge it physically to make it USB 3.0 for
instance. Yes, go 3.0 and get it over with. Heck make it a Blu-ray writer
whilst you're at it too. That's what I'd do. Oh yeah, and make it actually
be able to write DAISY or what ever to Blu-ray. Then $895 might be worth it.
Think of the Books you can put on a Blu-Ray disk, especially a 50GB one. How
about some lite scribe hm? How do those ideas grab you? Then to sweeten
the deal, add on all the new stuff. The wireless stuff, the internet radio
and so on. That would be one cool PTR unit. I don't know if they would call
it a PTR3 if they did that. But it would be cool though. Remember this, the
only reason according to Mike Lang for the PTR2 was the led thing. So, it's
like some people say about Vista VS. Win 7. Win 7 is what Vista should have
been. The PTR2 is what the PTR1 could and should have been. No more, no less
unfortunately. What a miss of a chance. They could have made it USB 2.0
right there on the spot, they could have opened the limit on memory size for
the CF cards, you know there are 32 GB ones. Pluss, ready it for Ultra II
cards. They missed on so many points. How sad when you really think about
it. But oh well, at least we have the BP DT. I hope the pre amps are as good
or better then the PTR2, and I hope they brought down the floor noise as
well as inproved the Auto Gane Controll.  It was and is too week on the
PTR2. Especially with cheep mikes. Have you tried one? A Book Port Desk Top
that is?

I don't have one, but I am thinking of getting one, so I guess that

Yeah, they have that in them. I use to have a PTR2 but it got damaged. I
loved it. I still do. It's just all the limitations that we've discussed
thus far are what makes me hesitate on getting on. Especially since IRTI
still wants $895 for it. If they'd only drop the price then maybe. All
though the BP DT sounds cool. It can record DAISY 3 books too if I
understand correctly.

RE: Handheld recorder with recording timer

2013-03-11 Thread Hamit Campos
Alright then cool. Yeah, I'd try the PTR2 once more if I could be really
sure I can give it a really fare chance. Like I said, It's hard to tell with
things from AMAZON. If I were 110% cirtain those cards would work, then we'd
be having a bit of a different conversation perhaps. But yeah though, for
just recording in general, I'd go with the LS-100. I guess the LS-14 might
be fine too. But I want phantom power and XLR connecters. Like I said
before, what I'd really love is the 788-T/SSD. But it's 6 grand.

Wel, I also love the ptr2 and would want to try and always use it fully. But
its true that the olympuses have very good quality recording. The ls100 is a

Why the 788-t? Well, listen to the recordings when Neal uses the Rode NT1-A
on his 744-T and you'll hear why. Mind, this is MP3. So now imagine what it
would sound like in full LPCM 192KHZ 24 BYT. Then, you can take those 8
track recordings you make on the 788-T made with 8 Rode Nt1-A mikes and put
them into something like ProTools, and make them into 7.1 surround sound
files. Now, tell me, how does that grabb you? I love that idea.

RE: Handheld recorder with recording timer

2013-03-12 Thread Hamit Campos
Ah, I've heard of that sound card. But I think we'd better change the
subject line before we get real deep into that. I guess no one else really
wanted to debate the whole thing about the PTR2 then. Oh well. No but
seriously, I guess it depends on weather one is willing to take the risk and
deal with the limitations of it. The CDDA CDs you can find on Amazon too.
Those will work no mater what. I've used a whole bunch of different ones
back in the day. I don't that much any more. By the way, CDDA is the format
of the regular CD, the ones you play on your stereo or in your car. That
brings me to another point. That was another really cool thing about the
PTR1 and 2. You could record live to CD. It was especially cool when you
could do it in the regular music CD format which is CDDA or compact Disk
Digital Audio. Now, there use to be a way to do this on a MAC, but I've
never heard how to do it on a PC. So yeah, but I guess it doesn't really
matter since no one really cares about CDs any more. Sure you can pass on
the things you record on your LS-100 or the sound devices recorders to CD
later by connecting a writer to them, but it's not the same as recording
live to CD.

RE: Handheld recorder with recording timer

2013-03-12 Thread Hamit Campos
Ah interesting. Well, that would help a lot if you could, but the thing with
the PTR1 and 2 goes beyond can I get a good deal, it goes to can I get a
type 1 or 2 one. All you can get in stores here is Ultra 2. The PTR1 hates
those. It beeps and locks up. Then it goes crasy when you take out. I was
told by Typhony at IRTI that the PTR2 would do the same. I found the Hitachi
Micro drive cards, so I guess one could use those. She said that the PTR2
seemed to be picky about microdrives too though. Basicly, the problem here
is the limitations of the PTR2. Limitations that are silly and some what
childish in my book. I mean, it's 2005 when this thing came out so it should
be USB 2 capible, they should have gotten rid of the limitations on the
memory size of cards you can put into it, and the limitation on the
interface of said cards. What makes it even stranger is that this is the
Japanese so they are usually ahead on stuff. I know that the PTR2 only came
out cause of the led ban, but come on guys, why waste the chance. Make the
thing better. Right? What do you think? I say they wasted an exelent chance.

Re: Handheld recorder with recording timer

2013-03-12 Thread Gary Wood
I thought I heard someone tell me that you can in the states get a 32-gig 
thumb drive for onlyy $20 U.S., which I think sound reasonable, but it seems 
that these days, there are many choices of flashcards to choose from.

Hi
Here in Europe you can get sd cards for a very reasonable
amount, not sure about cf flash cards as I never use them.

Yeh, I get what you say in many ways, I do feel however

that why do they

stil make the machine if it might not be so much in use

anymore.

They don't update the hardware either. But I think if you

no why you want

it
and if you no you can use it alot its stil werth the

money, but you rite

that most people will have to compare the amount of money

with what they

get
for it. But I guess if you buy the sandisk cards, chances

for locking up is

maybe less, although I couldn't test that.

Those compact flash cards are still available. They not

like you said,

the LS 100 does better quality recording anyways. It

But I digress, point is, that's cool man. I don't the

but if it does that's cool. The PTP1 does now you remind

me of it.

But I forgot.
Very interesting.
