I have nothing to support this, but I get the feeling that the
next version of KS will simply have us enter our authorization
number, much like entering our Bookshare password when opening a
new book. This should happen soon; I imagine that this version
will be released in time to help with the SSL problem. Again, do
not quote me as I simply got that impression from the article and
am not sure why. I agree, though: I like my other features far
too much to send away my unit for three weeks just for one more.
Have a great day,
Alex

Is there any word on how we will get the key? I will go without
before I
will ship my braillenote to RFB&D for this option.

play RFB&D
books
Hi folks,
This announcement was posted yesterday on the HumanWare site.
This
announcement deals with the ability to play RFB&D books o the
BrailleNtoe
mPower and PK. Here is the announcement:
Recording for the Blind & DyslexicR (RFB&DR) and HumanWare
Support New
Portable Players for AudioPlusR Books
Princeton, New Jersey and Longueuil, Quebec, May 23, 2007
Recording for the Blind & DyslexicR (RFB&DR), America's
educational library
of recorded textbooks for people unable to read print due to a
visual or
perceptual
disability, and HumanWare, the leader in assistive technology for
vision,
are pleased to announce that the HumanWare family of BrailleNote
mPower, PK
and
Maestro accessible PDA's will have the ability to play AudioPlus
recorded
books from RFB&D as of early June 2007.
HumanWare Canada has long been a supplier of the Victor Reader
Family of
digital audio book players to RFB&D's members, all of whom have
print
disabilities.
When played on the HumanWare Victor Reader digital players,
AudioPlus
recorded books can be navigated much like a print book, allowing
the reader
to move
from chapter to chapter, section to section or jump directly to
any page.
"RFB&D's AudioPlus books are an essential learning tool for
students and an
important information source for professionals," says Stephanie
Turner,
RFB&D
Product Manager of Market & Product Initiatives. "With Victor
Reader
audiobook players, and now the addition of the HumanWare portable
PDA
products, our
members have an even wider variety of tools they can use to
access our
books."
"Since 2001, Victor Reader CD-based talking book players have
benefited
RFB&D members with an enhanced reading experience for the special
navigable
AudioPlus
books," says Gerry Chevalier, Victor Reader Product Manager at
HumanWare.
"We are excited to now have the Victor Reader technology
available on our
mPower,
PK, and Maestro PDA products so these already highly functional
devices can
now also be used to listen to RFB&D's books."
With the recent addition of tools such as the Oxford Concise
Dictionary and
the Nemeth tutorial, the BrailleNote mPower has become the
braille notetaker
of choice in the educational market. The Maestro PDA, in addition
to its
accessible suite of Windows PDA applications, also hosts the very
popular
Trekker
GPS navigation tool to help people who are blind navigate
independently in
their everyday travels.
RFB&D will provide and support the UAK (User Authorization Key)
to enable
playback of AudioPlus books. Users will be required to purchase
the
BrailleNote
or Maestro devices directly from HumanWare or through an
authorized dealer.
Cheers,
Joseph
