How do I transfer Notes from my Lightwriter SL40 Connect to my computer?

Using a USB memory stick allows you to create and edit longer notes on your computer and transfer them to your Lightwriter. You can also copy and backup Notes from your Lightwriter to your computer.

This is really useful in a classroom or professional setting, for example if you have a large amount of text that you would like your Lightwriter SL40 Connect to speak for you, such as a speech, report or presentation.
