First, I would definitely call Humanware and tell them what happened to your Victor and see if there is a repair. I have the new Victor Stream and I like it a lot. It has more volume, a better speaker and better recording. The layout of the keys is basically the same as the Victor you have so you don't need to learn a new operating system. I haven't used the wireless capability yet but I have heard it is good and pretty easy to master. I would recommend it but there might be a way to fix your Victor that would be cheaper than buying a new one. You never know unless you ask. John ----- Original Message ----- From: Starner, alicia M.

Hello All, I have decided my poor Victor Stream is history, and I have started looking for a replacement. I noticed that the Victor Reader Stream I have has been replaced with a newer version and there has been an addition of a desktop model called the Victor Stratus. My question is does any of you have the newer Victor Stream? I read a review that said that it was not as good as the older version, but it has some nice features that the older one didn't have such as wireless capabilities. I would appreciate any feedback on the newer Victor Reader Stream to help me make an informed decision regarding which device to purchase. I have had my Victor Stream for quite a while now and love it's portability. That is one thing that I noticed that is not available in the Stratus model. It is more of a desktop model like the NLS player. I am considering the new Victor Reader Stream, but I have also seen one other device that is promising as well. I think it is called the Plex talk. Any input would be appreciated about either of these devices. I am looking for portability, clear crisp sound, ability to play NLS and Reading Alley content, the ability to record lectures, and ease of use. Thank you in advance for any reviews or product information you can offer.
