Hi everyone,
I have one more BARD question for all of you that spesifically
has to do with the BrailleNote. By the way, I'm copying Mrs.
Otwell, my Teacher of the Visually Impaired (TVI) on this to see
if she knows anything about this. I'll stop cluttering the list
with all these BARD questions after this, LOL! I got another
email from HumanWare today regarding authorization of my Stream
to play NLS books. I've pasted the email here. The email said:
From HumanWare
Dear NLS Reader Christopher A Nusbaum
Attached to this email is an electronic file with a KXO
extension. This
email contains step-by-step instructions to use this KXO file to
authorize your Victor Reader Stream player. DO NOT ATTEMPT TO
OPEN THE
attached file on your computer. Please read the following
instructions
carefully.
Note: If you prefer to download the KXO file instead of saving
the
attachment. Use the following link to access the Humanware
license key
download page:
httpcclicenceddhumanwareddcom
Then activate the link to the login page, choose the stream
product from
the list, enter your stream serial number , and your email
address. Then
you will be able to download the same NLS KXO file that is
attached to
this email.
Important: Please make sure the serial number in the KXO filename
is the
same as your Victor Reader Stream player. This KXO file will
only work
on the matching Stream player. If they do not correspond, please
contact
[email protected]
Save the KXO file somewhere on your computer for future backup.
Then follow these steps to save the KXO file on your SD card
and
activate the Stream for NLS books.
1. Turn the Stream off. Insert the SD card in the player.
You can
proceed on battery power or AC.
2. Connect the Stream to the computer using the long USB cable
provided.
3. After proper connection, turn the player ON. You must
hear:
"Player Connected". Alternatively, if you have an SD card reader
on
your computer, you can insert the SD card in to install the key.
4. Wait for Windows to recognize your Stream player. It will
automatically appear as a removable disk drive on your computer
system.
5. Open this drive using Windows Explorer or My Computer
program on
the desktop.
6. Use your email program to save the attached KXO file of
this email
to the root of the SD card. Do not save the KXO file in any
subfolder of
your SD card. It must be saved in the root. It does not matter
if there
every other folders and files on the SD card. Please take note
that
Outlook Express does not allow you to browse to the drive letter
of the
SD card so you will need to save the attached file to your
computer hard
drive and then copy it to the SD card drive.
7. Close the SD card application in Windows by exiting Windows
Explorer or My Computer.
8. Use the Safely Remove Hardware option in the Windows System
Tray
to tell Windows you want to release the drive that contains your
SD
card.
9. Power off the Stream and disconnect it from your computer.
If you
every using a card reader, remove the SD card from your computer
and
insert it in the Stream.
10ddTurn the Stream back on. You should hear Welcome to Victor
Reader, a bling tone for the SD card detection and then "3 user
keys
processed"
11ddIf you have version 3.0 of Stream, the key will be
automatically
erased from the SD card. If not, you must erase the KXO file
from your
SD card manually.
If you prefer, the above steps may also be performed by
transferring the
KXO file to the root of a USB memory stick and connecting it to
the
Stream using the short USB cable provided.
To confirm the key is processed, press the INFO key or 0 and
Stream will
announce "3 user keys" in the "About Victor Reader" section.
You can now download NLS digital books to your computer and
transfer
them to Stream. All NLS books must be in the $VRDTB folder, each
book in
their respective subfolder, extracted. We strongly recommend you
use
the HumanWare companion to transfer the books from PC to Stream.
If you have questions about the NLS BARD download, please visit
the NLS
help web page at:
httpsccnlsbardddlocddgov/cgi-bin/nlsbardprodstindexddcgi
You can also visit the online Stream support web page for audio
tutorials, upgrade instructions and more at:

ation
If you own more than one Stream player you must log into your
NLS BARD
account, find account settings and Add a new player.
We wish you pleasant reading of NLS books on your Stream!

Will this work on the BN? In other words, can I save the KXO file
on my BN and then save it on my SD card for my Stream? Mrs.
Otwell, do you know anything about this? Will we need to do this
at school? Thanks!

"The real problem of blindness is not the loss of eyesight. The
real problem is the misunderstanding and lack of education that
exists. If a blind person has the proper training and
opportunity, blindness can be reduced to a mere physical
nuisance." -- Kenneth Jernigan (President of the National
Federation of the Blind, 1968-1986.)
