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

[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 .

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

[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.

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

[Dane Trethowan]

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!

Voice Dream is an IOS App which allows the reading of material with its own 
independent voices from that of the iPhone.

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

[Brian Olesen]

hi,
well Victor streem 2 or whatever they prefer to call it is a real charm.
You can listen to radio, look up stuff on the net, and a whole lot more, so 
comparing it to a simple iphone app isn't comprehensive.

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

[Dane Trethowan]

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

[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?

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.

Hello Dane,
Do you know, what is the difference between the lite and the full version of

The light version just play for a few minits then you have to hit the
play button again.

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

[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.

[Peter Scanlon]

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

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

[Gary Schindler]

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.

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

[Humberto Rodriguez]

I was one of those who had a VRS before the Iphone and now I have also a
Milestone 312, much smaller than the VRS and with better sound, that also
can be authorized for NLS books.

Do you know if it is possible to read .brf files with Voice Dream 
Reader an iPhone and a braille display?

Thanks.

Audio Sample Of Tecsun PL880 AM From Dane

[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.

If link doesn't work the first time then try again in a few minutes, file may 
still be uploading to Dropbox.

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

[Dane Trethowan]

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

[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.

[André van Deventer]

Reality is that some folks may not have the money to waste on aal kinds of
gadgets.  They may want one thing that can do as much as possible for them.

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.
