The old book port plus program used to translate them to text when you transferred them to the Book port plus. This is not the case with the plextalk transfer program. This is no longer needed now that the book port plus supports brf files.

Hi Russ, The US English firmware does not support reading brf and brl files. I believe it is due to a licensing issue in the US.

Hi Russ, OK, then I would have to bow to the superior knowledge of whoever did the podcast, however, on the FS page at the following URL, they don't list these 2 formats: http://www.freedomscientific.com/products/fs/plextalk-pocket-product-page.as p Which version of the firmware are you using?

The reason I ask, Lisening to the July FSCast episode 56 Audio Presentation on the PlexTalk Pocket, it was stated that it would read both brf and brl documents. -----Original Message----- From: Jamie Cuthbertson Sent: Saturday, October 22, 2011 9:05 AM To: ptr1-users@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: RE: Does the Plextalk Pocket read brf? Hi Russ, From memory, No, I don't think so but, as my Microsoft Word is playing silly buggers at the moment, I can't double check my copy of the manual. No doubt someone will put me right if this is wrong!
