Re: Victor reader Stream, Fello List Member Was Absolutely On The Ball
Interesting perspective on nog using a single device for everythimg, but for those in less-develloped countries, especially like Latin America in which blindness products are expensive, we need to make do with I have! I use my IPhone for reading aside from its regular function. What happens if your Victor breaks? Good to have a backup such IPod/IPhone!

Re: Victor reader Stream, Fello List Member Was Absolutely On The Ball
Another thing wich is not yet said, one of the biggest problems with voicedream is that you never can open a document the way its formatted. Or let me say you cannot open a raw file, Voicedream extract text from all the supported formats wich means that you always ending up with a bunch of text files, regardless of weather the actual file was html docx and so on, and that to me is really ashaimed. Stream is tops, and may all bookreaders live forever. We don't need to use one device for everything. Not always at least. Don't always make sense. If you would load up an html file in voicedream, you would never be able to navigate by levels 1 fru to 6 as its just text. All the dedicated players allow to open the supported files directly. You don't have to lock a stupid screen when using the stream, and if you listening to radio then you can also just easyer find the next station, and you can type in a station number to go to directly, wich you cannot do on the IPhone apps, and when you skip between stations, you stil have to find the previous and next buttons wich in my view is a waste of time if you on the stream don't have to worry about that.

Re: Victor reader Stream, Fello List Member Was Absolutely On The Ball
To be honest, I use my VRStream for reading talking books, and the occasional web braille book, or until the battery dies, then it's Bard Mobile on the phone, and I use voice dream for reading such things as pdf files or listening to audios of tv shows when ripped into mp3 format. I'd rather my VRStream battery go down before my iPhone battery does. On 4/12/2014 11:52 AM, Merv Keck wrote: Hi, I use Voice Dream quite often.

Re: Victor reader Stream, Fello List Member Was Absolutely On The Ball
I still hold on to the Stream for the very fact tnat none of the iPhone aps have yet to support the web braille format, whether it be voice dream, Bard Mobile or Bookshare, or any other reader available for the iDevices. Furthermore, since I'm a bookaholic, one of the other devices is going to run down in battery before the day is through usually. lol Another furthermore, the Stream does not rely solely on a proprietory drag and drop method when hooked to a computer.

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. On 13 Apr 2014, at 7:49 am, Aidan wrote: Yes, I got also an IPhone and five other players.

Well, it might be simular to the stream, but there is stil nothing like a blind friendly device and the way it works.

Hi, Yeah an iPhone is a hard headed battery consumer. :-) So you won't get many hours reading time.

I love the stream.

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

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

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

Re: Victor reader Stream, Fello List Member Was Absolutely On The Ball
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
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. Blind5sparrow

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.
