Audio Daisy
: This mode plays the recorded audio files of the book. Book navigation is in the DAISY paradigm.
TTS Daisy
: This mode uses the Maestro Text-to-speech to play the text files provided in the Daisy book. Book navigation is also in the DAISY paradigm.
TTS Windows
: This mode also uses Maestro Text-to-speech to play the text files provided with the book. However, book navigation is in the Windows paradigm i.e., the arrow keys will

General Navigation section).

File Management and Synchronization
Storing Vocal Notes:
Vocal Notes can be stored in various PDA memory locations, including Main Memory, Built-in Memory, and Storage card. New Vocal Notes are stored by default in
the root of My Documents, which is located in Main Memory. Only those Vocal Notes kept within My Documents or any of its sub-folders, within Main Memory, can be transferred to your
regular PC during synchronization. During a normal ActiveSync session, Vocal Notes in Main Memory of your PDA and those in the Pocket_PC My Documents folder under the My
Documents folder in your main PC will be synchronized automatically. This means that Vocal Notes on your PDA that are created, modified, or deleted will be reflected in the Pocket_PC
My Documents folder on your PC, and vice versa.
