Hello Mr. Lingard
No, this does not help. I still want to know whether this
reader can be used with my BrailleNote to download any type of
material I wish, without the added necessity of using a computer.
I'm not interested in the NLS's reader, because I believe I will
receive it free. My concern is a reader from Humanware which
will cost more than $300.00 to purchase and may still require me
to be a computer user for it to work. I realize that my
BrailleNote is only a PDA to be used mostly in conjunction with a
computer, but if I were computer literate, I wouldn't have a
$6500.00 MPower. I'd have a computer with JAWS or EYES and the
ability to download to a CF or SD card without a Victor Reader.
And what I'm trying to do now is get a comprehensive,
straight-forward answer to this question: "Can the Victor Reader
be used with my BrailleNote without my needing some type of
personal computer?"
Thank you,
Sammie Clay

Hi Sharon and list:
You could use the BrailleNote to download DAISY books from the
NLS web site or Book Share instead of a PC, but I don't think NLS
has their DAISY book download service working yet.
I honestly forget whether the Victor Reader Stream, the unit you
are referring to for US $329 can or cannot use the new High
Capacity SD cards. I remember seeing something about this in its
User Guide, but forget just what it said.
HC SD cards are about half as expensive as the older SD cards for
the same storage capacity.
The Victor Reader Stream can also read text files as it has a
text to speech program on it.
Hope this helps.
Brian
