Hi Dane
I wouldn't buy it because of the fm radio, the internet
radio should be good enough. I would only buy it for the
text or ocr functionality. But will see what happens.

I share your thoughts, I wondered about the Internet Radio initially and came
around to the idea that it made perfect sense, if the machine has Wi-Fi
capabilities and Internet connectivity then may as well put Internet Radio and
perhaps some sort of Podcasting facility into the device but to me
Hi Dane
On my vr stream mark 2 the internet radio is great, I am
sure I saw that this new device has internet radio, I am
sure I saw that on their website. In which case, why bother
with the fm radio?

You're absolutely right! My only assumption here is that the FM radio is part
of one of the chips Hims is using.

Hi all
I use winamp only to play audio books.
or some reason, although this worked quite well in the past, now when I load
a directory into winamp, shuffle seems to be turned on. I cannot seem to
find the command to turn shuffle off with Jaws 14 scripts.
Can anyone help here?
Now look what you've done, we'll have people whining that the Wi-Fi
connectivity isn't good enough, it should have the new C standard I think it is
smile.

Hey...
Just hit s within the playlist editor (actually this might work in the
main window as well) and shuffle will be turned off.

Humanware got a device out for $369 with the same basic feature set except
for OCR. So, the OCR better be really good since you will be paying the
difference in price for that feature.

Hi Dane
I have both models of vr stream and to be honest, the
speaker is pretty poor considering what we pay for it and
that a lot of us have to rely on the stream, they could use
a much better quality speaker, the one that is in the
plextalk pocket is far better.

it will cost?
Again, its going to come down to personal preference and so on, we've seen in

Ah now anything Samsung has epic christal clear sound. The Iphone 5 does
too. Mind you, I'm talking about the 5S because I don't know about the
speaker in the 5C. If the Iphone had a stereo pair, that would be so epic.

The new generation of the Victor Reader Stream is priced at $369 in the US.
The features of the two devices are similar, or probably will be, after the
Blaze EZ is upgraded a few times. The major difference is that the Blaze EZ
has OCR, which is the reason for the big price tag.

Hi Dane,
Yes, I know the old KNFB was very big bucks indeed. However, knowing
that the app ecosystem will not allow for such hefty price tags, e.g.
Nearby Explorer and Seeing Eye gps, both of which replicate the
functionality of much more expensive products for blindness specific
devices, yet
Thanks for that, I found an article on the web where the author compared the
KNFB Reader on the Nokia N82 to a well known OCR App which was available on the
iPhone, the article is fairly old and talked about the iPhone 4S so times have
indeed changed.
