If you had the VS turned on, when you plugged in the thumb drive, you should have heard the bell sound letting you know it recognized the drive. Then press F for file manager and then up and down arrow through the available disks. If you connected the thumb drive before turning on the VS, it may not recognize it. I'm sure, between all of us, we can help figure it out. It really isn't too difficult, but, for us blind folk, picking up something off the floor is difficult if we don't know where it is. Cliff

We hooked the thumb drive or stick memory, (I'm not sure exactly what to call it), up to the voice sense after putting a file on it from my computer. We chose to put the file in the memory stick as a text file. Then we went to the file manager, backed spaced and found the flash disk. But we couldn't get past the flash disk. The manual said we should be able to find the thumb drive name, but I just couldn't get away from the flash disk. I tried turning the mobile disk on, but that didn't make any difference. I don't think the Voice Sense was recognizing that it had an external drive plugged into it. We finally just gave up. I don't think anything is corrupt, because I haven't put anything from my computer or anything else onto the Voice Sense. I hope this makes sense. I really don't think that putting a file onto my Voice Sense from my computer should be this difficult. I am probably just overlooking something. Anyway, thanks in advance for your help.

It plugs in to the Voice Sense and the thumb drive plugs in to that. Then you go to File Manager, on the Voice Sense, and select the files you want to back up. You can back up entire folders if you like. Press space to select them. Once selected, press enter C to do the copy. Then press the backspace key until you get back to the list of drives, Compact flash, SD, etc. Up or down arrow to the stick memory. That is your thumb drive. Press enter to go in to it. Navigate to the folder, where applicable, where you want to place the files. Then press enter V to paste them there.

I'm doing something wrong. Even my husband, who is a manager of information systems can't figure it out. Could someone please tell me an easy way to do this? Thanks.
