Victor reader Stream, Fello List Member Was Absolutely On The Ball

2014-04-12 Thread Dane Trethowan
Okay, finally had a chance to play with the Voice Dream App and all I can say 
is the App is aptly named, its a Dream', easily the best reading tool I've 
ever used whether that be Hardware or Software so the gentleman who questioned 
my wisdom when I suggested I might buy a victor Reader Stream or another device 
is well up with the times smile.

Certainly one of those I'll do it from my iPhone kind of guys yes, for me the 
Victor Reader Stream purchase would just be wasting a whole heap of money, 
another list member put forward this view quite some time ago, long before I 
had a chance to play with Voice Dream.

Now before others say I'm not seeing the full picture? Well I believe I am, I 
know there are others that don't have iPhones however the Victor Reader Stream 
itself - in Australia at any rate - is far from a cheap item at over $400.

RE: Victor reader Stream, Fello List Member Was Absolutely On The Ball

2014-04-12 Thread Merv Keck
Hi,

I use Voice Dream quite often. However, I still depend on my VR Stream if I
am away for hours at a time because I am not interested in spending the
required cash on a juice box in order to replace my existing iPhone case.
Therefore, I still need a source other than my phone for extended hours of
reading in order to keep my phone available for calling a cab to go home at
the end of the day. Voice Dream is great though in many cases especially
when I am home and using WiFi and Drop Box.

If you are going to be doing that much listening on your iPhone I hope you 
have a backup battery. That is one good thing about having a separate book 
reader. You don't run out of battery when you need to make a call.

Yep absolutely right and that was one of the main reasons I was looking at the 
Stream.

External battery solutions thankfully are a lot less expensive than a Victor 
Reader Stream I have some 1MHA USB battery packs here so - If I need more 
power - I just put one of those into my pocket and plug into the iPhone if 
required.

I also have a cigarette to USB port adapter which I use when travelling in a 
car, GPS takes up a whole heap of power too!

 Hey Mike. I looked into Radionomy several years ago. I’m calling on my memory 
 to describe my experience with them, so I could be recalling small details 
 inaccurately, but here’s how I remember my experience with them.
 
 I found accessibility there to be a bit awkward, at least for me,  but 
 manageable. Their tech support answered questions promptly and helpfully. As 
 I recall, at the time that I checked into it, they allowed free use of their 
 service for six months. If, during that time, they were able to sell 
 advertising on the station in question, then you could continue using the 
 service for free. If they could not sell advertising after the six month 
 period, you would need to pay to continue using the service. 
 
 I believe I am correct in saying that they now own Shoutcast, which I will 
 probably be using when I sign my own station on in a few weeks.

 Hey everybody,
 
 I just found this free service online called Radionomy. Have any of you ever
 heard of it or used it? If so, I was just wondering, is it accessible? Is it
 something that a blind person could use? A friend of mine and I are
 producing radio shows in the form of podcasts and then he posts them online
 on his facebook page for everybody to listen to. If the podcasts are
 successful, we may decide to create a radio station later on in the future.
 So, I was just wondering about Radionomy and just wanted to see if anyone on
 the list has ever had any experience with it. Have a good one.

You can listen to radio, look up stuff on the net, and a whole lot more, so

Again, I'm not discussing this to get into an argument about the virtues of a 
Victor Reader Stream, if you don't have an iPhone then all well and good, but 
if you have an iPhone etc then would you really want to spend $400 for much of 
what you have already?

Re: Victor reader Stream, Fello List Member Was Absolutely On The Ball

2014-04-12 Thread Brian Olesen

Hi Dane,
Well you can't compare apples and oranges.
A physical hardware unit whith lots of real keys, and various good voices to 
choose from, lots of navigation features and such can't be compared to an 
app. Or at least only partially.
But I must admit it's a real nice app. I have both a Victor Streem 2 and an 
iPhone 5S. I must say that I am really happy with both units as they both 
serve a purpose.


Best regards
Brian

Again, I'm not discussing this to get into an argument about the virtues of 
a Victor Reader Stream, if you don't have an iPhone then all well and good, 
but if you have an iPhone etc then would you really want to spend $400 for 
much of what you have already?

Re: Victor reader Stream, Fello List Member Was Absolutely On The Ball

2014-04-12 Thread Aidan
Yes, I got also an IPhone and five other players. They all help me and
I will never use the IPhone primary for my reading or music needs. The
apple system is not good enough for that and besides, its much easyer
for example to activate the sleep timer or just to quickly skip to the
next radio station on the stream or other player than it would be to
do on the IPhone. There are so much disadvantages to use a phone for
all of this exclusively that I hate it, but yes voicedream is a good
app. I rather get an IPad mini to help out where the IPhone cannot
always do enough.

I love the stream. It has real buttons, rather than touch screen, I wish 
they would put a phone in the Victor.

actually you don't need to since you can read talking books with the bard 
app in the states. on the IPhone. A lot of us had streams before the IPhone 
however, so we have the best of both worlds.

Audio Sample Of Tecsun PL880 AM From Dane

2014-04-12 Thread Dane Trethowan
Now that I well and truly have this radio I thought it time to make a couple of 
audio samples myself, this one comes from ABC News Radio and I recorded it 
using my iPhone, my Zoom H! recorder has developed a fault so I've ordered 
another.

Note the very nice clarity and wide AM band, its a real pleasure to listen to 
this radio on AM even though its not quite as sensitive nor selective on AM as 
some of my other sets are.
https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/10565527/Tecsun%20PL880%20Audio%20Sample.mp3
If link doesn't work the first time then try again in a few minutes, file may 
still be uploading to Dropbox.

Re: Voice Dream Reader

2014-04-12 Thread Dane Trethowan
If Voice Dream supports this format then yep! read to your hearts content on a 
Braille display, I don't personally know whether Voice Dream does support this 
format as I've not tried it.

Re: A Review of the Voice Dream Reader for iOS: A One-Stop Solution - AccessWorld(R) - August 2013

I should also point out that the review was conducted quite some time ago and 
the Voice Dream App has been updated several times since that review was 
written.

Re: Victor reader Stream, Fello List Member Was Absolutely On The Ball

2014-04-12 Thread Dane Trethowan
I'm interested when you say Easier as its really subjective because there are 
so many ways to do things on an iPhone, I suggest perhaps that you download the 
demo of Voce Dream and try it for yourself before saying that tasks are easier 
to perform on one device than another.

I use the oOtunes App for radio stations - oOtunes is the same system used by 
the Victor Reader Stream as it happens - and skipping between radio stations is 
about as logical as it gets, press the previous or the next buttons, select a 
station from your favourites list, search for or browse stations, press stop to 
stop or pause to pause and continue recording depending on your settings, shake 
to stop or start etc.

 Hi Dane,

 A physical hardware unit whith lots of real keys, and various good voices to

 But I must admit it's a real nice app. I have both a Victor Streem 2 and an
 
 iPhone 5S. I must say that I am really happy with both units as they both
 serve a purpose.

Reality is that some folks may not have the money to waste on aal kinds of
