Hi, Terry,
It's my understanding the only cards you can use with the Victor Reader
Stream are SD cards. They are smaller than CF cards.

Hi Everyone;
I can tell you why I took the chalange and got the stream. First of
all, any item I put on cf card, I should be able to read on my m-power
or for portability read on my stream. If my M-power is in the shop, I
can still read what I have on storage cards. When the adapter is made,
I will be able to read books from NLS, if I have problems with my NLS
player or do not get one for a while because of funding. I also got a
small discount for buying in July and had a 1 out of 10 chance of
getting it free, because of the drawings they were holding at
convention. I like its portability. I hope its sound quality will be
good enough for me. In a crouded place, that is a hard thing to
determine.

Sammy, why would you want one of these readers when your Braille Note or
Voice Note has the same capabilities built right in?
I heard an Interview with the product manager for Victor Readers and you
will need a pc. You download your book onto your pc plug your victor
reader
stream in and move the book over onto the memory card or the s. d. card.
As
far as unpacking the book, I don't know if that is accomplished on the
computer or not.
But yes, you will need apc to do this.

ReaderandBrailleNoteuseability
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
