Appendix D: Technical data about recording modes and sound qualities
1. Recording mode settings
Each recording mode has predetermined settings for the following 4 parameters:
•
Auto section setting; PLEXTALK can be set to automatically create a new section, in
a DAISY recording, after a specified amount of time with no audio input, for example
2 seconds. Use the setting "off" to create a continuous recording with no new sections.
•
Time to auto stop recording when no sound; This is the amount of time that
PLEXTALK will continue to record with no audio input. After this time, recording stops
automatically.
•
Trigger of starting recording; Recording can be set to start either when you press the
Record Key or when input audio is detected.
•
Background noise level of input sound; If you are recording in a low noise
environment, such as a studio, use the "low" setting. If your recording environment is
noisy, such as a conference or lecture, use the "High" setting.
