The victor reader stream will read brf files. And I have used win bt to
back translate brf files to text. Then I can use voice dream reader with
neospeech. The neospeech used with boice dream reader sounds better than
the neospeech on the booksense.

Not to mention that, as far as I know, no app on the iPhone can make any
sense of brf files. I have a lot of those in my collection, and the
BookSense is the only thing that I know can play them. Well, the only thing
that I have, at any rate. Plus, having physical buttons is rather nice. When
I want to go back five seconds in a book, and I'm kind of sleepy, the last
thing I want to do is fiddle around with a touchscreen. That being said, I
will still get the app; but I'll keep my BookSense around, too.
Thanks,
Ari

I'm really looking forward to the BARD Mobile app, but I also like having
a separate device. In addition to what Eric says below about the battery
consumption, I also like just being able to pick up my Booksense, and by
pressing just one button, start reading a book right where I left off. No
need to unlock the device, jump to the app switcher and bring up my BARD
Mobile app to start reading again. The fact that it's a physical button,
and I can just pause/play my reading by hitting a physical button while
the Booksense is in my pocket, is also a plus. I know it's not that hard
to get the BARD Mobile app to start reading again, but it is convenient to
have a device dedicated to my book reading and being only one button away
from reading.
I also think the booksense is a bit lighter and easier to carry around. I
can operate it's buttons while it's in my pocket. I also have a lanyard,
so I can just hang it from my neck.
Would I go out and buy a Booksense if I already had an iPhone and the BARD
Mobile app? I'm not sure, but I do know that I'll be using both my iPhone
and my Booksense to read BARD books once I get my hands on the BARD Mobile
app.

there are advantages to using a separate device.
Chief among these is battery life on the iPhone. Playing media sucks down
battery like an old drunk on a bender. Its the same with other apps that
have discrete devices (trekker breeze, color detector and barcode
reader). all of these devices are specially designed for that one task.
Its been my experience that iPhone apps are fine in a pinch, but when you
want reliability without sacrificing battery life, its better to have the
extra devices on hand.
Sure, its convenient to have all your functions and technology in one
device, but it that device breaks, you are out a whole lot more than just
a phone.
Just something to keep in mind.

Yes, it's the official app from NLS so we can read books downloaded from
BARD on our iDevices. Between this app, the Kindle app, the Nook app,
and
Voice Dream Reader or Read2Go for BookShare books, it's hard to imagine
why
one would need devices like the Stream or BookSense but I'm sure some
may
still prefer using a separate device. This is my plan so I will be
upgrading
to the 64gb version of the 5s so I have no issues with space.
Best regards,

I haven't been following this thread. Is this an app which will let you
listen to NLS talking books on an iPhone for example?

How do you know this? If this is true then that is great news because I
know that there are a lot of blind people who have been waiting a very
log
time for it.
