Re: [all-audio] Victor Readeer Stream Next Gen Query

2019-08-09 Thread Dane Trethowan
I'm the last to defend Humanware but I do give credit where its due.
The Stream is an awful creation and could be improved upon but using LYNUX as 
the operating system for the device was a great idea meaning that much of the 
firmware needed was already available so only minor modifications were required 
to get the product going and adapt it for visually impaired people.
The Raspberry Pi runs LYNUX as well.
Humanware have gotten some things right and one of those is the Braillenote 
Touch which also uses a widely available operating system in the form of 
Android - which is another form of LYNUX -.

Furdermore, if they ever do it, they will save money but cell it for thouzents, 
so not going to benifit enough blind people in the long run.

The Raspberry Pi has come one hell of a long way in the 6 years I’ve been using

everything from audio field recorders to voice assistants and even - as I’ve

Hi,
Yeah let's partially hope so.
I say partially because it might lack some necessary power.

The big question is how long will it be before HumanWare etc make full use of 
the capabilities of a Raspberry Pi system?
There are now Braille devices using Raspberry Pi computers so I reckon it won’t 
be long before we see other devices designed for the Blind using these and 
about time too.
