Hi list, This is the Victor Reader pocket version specifically designed for KeyBok. Don't confuse this with Victor Reader Stream. Cheers, Joseph

When you press I with control, if you scroll down, you will hear or read with your fingers "Victor Reader Soft version 2.0.127". If this does not apply to the Braillenote's features, then perhaps someone at HumanWare can explain why it's there. i believe all M-Powers which have been upgraded to 7.5 are capable of using the Victor Stream if the M-Power's owner purchases the stream. Of course everyone should know that if the BN's owner does not have a computer he or she cannot download anything from the National Library Service using the Braille or Voice Note. For this reason, I currently have my local librarian download books for me to use on a little device called the Zenstone. I personally will not purchase a Victor Reader until I can use my BrailleNote or Braille Sense Plus to download material from NLS without needing a computer and read it on the reader of my choice. Also, an advantage to the Zenstone is that it fits in the palm of my hand, does basically the same thing that the Victor Reader Stream does, can be attached to the BN using one of the USB ports, and the Stone costs only $40.00. The Zenstone's only drawback (perhaps) is the fact that after a year or so, depending on use, the battery dies and the whole device must be replaced. The reason I said (perhaps) is because depending on the cost of upgrades for the Victor Stream, it may be more cost effective to replace a whole unit every 12-18 months than to upgrade the $329.00 Stream, especially if Stream upgrades are more than $40.00 each time an upgrade is released.
