When I signed on to the BARD site on Friday there was a little questionnaire
about the NLS app for the android and iPhone. Maybe they are finally getting
around to it.

Hi,
lol. I'm pretty sure the signature is meant as a joke. Look at how the
words are misspelled.

Well, all things considered, the worst sounding talking book is better

Chuck, the sad thing is, I can remember when Talking books came on a 12
inch record and they played at 33 and a third RPMs and was ticked off
when they went to 10 inch records at 16 RPMs and then all that
new-fangled cassettes thing on 2 tracks. That wasn't good enough though
for them, They then had to go from 2 track to 4 tracks and then they
went a step farther and cut playback speed in half. They said quality
wouldn't suffer but they were wrong. It did. The best thing to happen
to talking books was they went digital. Sound quality went up greatly
if you were listening to a new recording but then trouble struck again
with budget cuts. Far fewer new books were being recorded and they
started emptying out the tape libraries and digitizing those along with
some restorazations of older books on record. Still, the best sounding
recordings come from new books being recording for the first time.

Hi Joe,
While I am looking forward to the IOS app, there is something about
using the talking book machine supplied by NLS that is comforting. I
like the physical buttons and the sturdy feel of the machine. Perhaps it
is just a throwback to when I first started using talking books on
cassette... Which was a big deal back then.

I have to agree with you here. I have an iPhone 4 and even a Nano 5
and yet I still take my Victor Reader Stream with me. The 1 thing I do
like about the new Stream is it's ability to be recharged via a USB
connector this saving the need for yet one more recharger in the bag.
Still, it would be nice to have a talking book handy for those times
when your sitting around with your thumb up your nose waiting for
something or some one! <grin>

I'm an iPhone user, and I still use a Victor Stream to listen to NLS
books.
I prefer the convenience of tactile buttons to navigate, quickly
stop/start,
and change formats. It's going to take me a long time to get used to a
touch
screen to do things you can easily accomplish with a keypad.--Joe

Hi Christopher and John,
Many on this list who take full advantage of all the wonderful features
and
capabilities of the iPhone forget that there are still a lot of people
out
there who are blind or visually impaired and who either don't want or
don't
need a smartphone which comes with half a mortgage in the form of an
expensive monthly plan.
For me the Stream or Booksense both of which I owned at one point also
don't
have any attraction anymore and instead of spending $300 or $350 or
whatever
these devices cost nowadays on one of these I'd much rather buy an iPod
Touch or iPad Mini as a companion device for my iPhone. But, as I said,
a
lot of blind people are perfectly happy with a Stream or Booksense and
I
would imagine it will be quite a while yet before such specialty
devices
become obsolete. Oh, maybe a Stream or Booksense doesn't have much to
do
with an iPhone, but I think it's OK to discuss them in the context of
services like NLS and I guess if Raul or Cara don't agree they will let
us
know.
Regards,
Sieghard
