Re humanware companion
To my knowledge, I have the latest VRS humanware companion updates, but I
was told if I wanted to have the feature of recording or saving recordings
in .WAV or .MP3, whichever it is, that I had to pay an additional $50 for
that up-grade. At least, that is what the HumanWare people told me this
summer at the ACB National Convention. I suspect my problem is that I have
one of the earlier VRS models. The newest one might be different.
