Very simple, you scan the barcode and on the left bottom there is a button
and you hold it down and talk. It will then when you scan it will say what
you recorded. If you want to change it or didn't like what you said the
button above it you push and it will ask if you want to delete it, push it
again and it is gone.
Besides that it updates every year a new list of ppre recorded bar codes
available.
The nice thing about the ID Mate is that 90% of items have barcodes on them
from the manufactuer and for those things that don't have a barcode they
sell a variety of types of labels for the ID Mate and keep track of the
number/barcodes that you have purchased.
I always asked John how many carbs were in things and had him read the
labels, as I have to count my carbohydrates and take a certain amount of fast
acting insulin to cover my carbs and blood sugar level. That is why I
broke out the ID Mate this week. I keep it handy, but it was easy with John
reading it to me.

So these labels have some sort of numbering? With the ID mate, you get
the bar code label with a number on it or whatever, but as you purchase more
of them they send you the lables beginning from the next label or number
after the last number that they sent to you. So there is no repeats just a
continuous numbering for the ID Mate to scan and read.
I pulled out the ID Mate to give it a try on some frozen dinners that I
got. I wanted to be sure that the cooking instructions were on it. They
were there.

The recording is saved on the pen and it is associated with the specific
number of the label. If you want to read one label with multiple pens,
you will need to record the message separately in each pen. Since Terry and
Henry both have a PenFriend, the set of labels that came with each of
their pens have the same series of ID numbers. So if Terry records a message
on her label #23 and then touches her pen to Henry's label #23, she will
hear her message. If Henry touches his pen to label #23 he will hear
nothing unless he has recorded his own message on that label.

Is the recording saved on the machine or the label? I am thinking on
the pen itself. If it is saved on the pen, then you would need to use 1
label, but record it on both pens.

If you have 2 units in the house, can labels be read by either machine?
I have a fealing, not. Maybe I will buy the round labels and Henry can
have
my square, so we can tell which unit way used.
