If I use one of my general useage usb cords, more frequently than not, the Pocket will not be recognised in the transfer software. When using the cord that came with the Pocket, there's never a question. Must be something about the pins or the configuration. ----- Original Message ----- From: André van Deventer To: ptr1-users@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Sent: Wednesday, March 14, 2012 7:24 AM Subject: RE: plextalk transfer software I've been wondering about that!

It is a bit clunky though. I find the the Plextalk is finicky about the usb cord one uses. I have one that works for everything, but the Plextalk. I've resorted to making sure I have the one that came with the Pocket available whenever transferring material. ----- Original Message ----- From: André van Deventer To: ptr1-users@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Sent: Wednesday, March 14, 2012 3:09 AM Subject: plextalk transfer software Hi all I seem to have difficulties sometimes transferring content like audio books from my computer to my plextalk pocket using the simple copy and paste method. Is it advisable to use the transfer software to do this rather than simply copying and pasting files between the computer and the pocket? Another thing - the transfer software probably has one of the worst online manuals I have ever worked with - written in some kind of broken English which is incomprehensible sometimes!! Andre
