I will answer question 2, about speeding up. It will be equivocal to
the Streams first 4 levels, or up to twice as fast which is number 4.
No faster than that in it's present development.
If you are familiar with the Stream at level 4, then you've heard the
book sense at it's level 4.
The Stream goes to level 10 I believe?

Hi everyone,
I am a current VictorReader Stream user and am looking at purchasing a
Booksense; however, I have two questions (I will probably have more in the
future) that I cannot seem to find definite answers for.
First, I just saw today some discussions on this mailing list regarding the
information that is presented when pressing the 0 key while playing a file.
Specifically, it was stated by several users that when listening to an
Audible file, pressing the 0 key does not tell you the total time of the
file. I wanted to get confirmation on this because while listening to
multiple demos and podcasts of the Booksense, the 0 key always presented the
total time of an Audible file (I just went back and checked a couple
podcasts to confirm). So when I saw users saying that it is not reported,
this is giving me pause, as this is very important information, and I am
wondering what has changed to suddenly make the unit not report this
information.
Second, I have read that the Booksense does not speed up audio files up as
much as the Victor (I am referring to recorded books such as Audible or NLS,
not TTS here), but I have not seen any information regarding exactly how
much faster the Booksense can play the file. I am aware it can increase up
to 4 levels (+1, +2, +3, and +4), but this is not very meaningful since it
does not indicate how fast each of these settings are. Does it speed up by
25%? 50%? 100%? Specifically, I like to listen to podcasts and other
audio at exactly double (2x) normal speed. Can the Booksense play this
fast? I know the Victor can go faster than even 2x, but I don't need it to
be that fast, but if the Booksense cannot speed up to at least 2x, I will
not be purchasing it.
Many thanks for anyone who is willing to address the above two questions.
