I can not make a comparison because I have never touched the BookSense. I
have had a Victor Reader Stream for years. It does more than I require and
I use it constantly! I playback all of my podcasts and NLS books at double
speed, which is slightly slower than my wife speaks. I do not think you can
go wrong with either product. I do encourage you to buy anything that helps
you read (listen) to more books! It has changed my life and expands the
mind!

HIMS out of Korea makes the BookSense, and I have the chance to look at
both the Victor Stream and the BookSense this weekend.
I've heard that the volume of the NLS books is low on the BS as well, and
that they're working on that issue.

Hi; I, too, am struggling with which player to buy. I saw the stream
once for a short time but I wasn't impressed with the sound; also I
didn't like that the volume level, to me, was low. Do you know anymore
about the book sense that might help me make up my mind. Thanks,
Dan

I own the Victor Stream. If I'm not mistaken, the Book Sense uses the
Eloquence synthesizer, like JAWS. In my opinion, the Victor Stream has
the worst synthesizer of all three readers. I had the old Book Port,
and the synthesizer wasn't the greatest, but it pronounced most words
correctly. What bothers me most about the VR Stream is the
pronunciation. If I had it to do over again, I would buy the Book
Sense.
Hth,
Deanne

In my opinion, the best book player available is the BookSense. The
male and female voices are better than other players out there and I
like the size of the BookSense. I drag mine all over the place and
with an 8 gig card installed, I am able to put loads of books on it.

I hope this isn't off topic, and if it is, I'm sure someone will slap
my hand.
I download books from both Bookshare and the NLS site.
I'd like to know which is the best player to listen to both types of
books and the best voice for listening pleasure.
I believe the BookPort does this, but with a horrendous synthesizer.
