Victor Reader Stream New Generation Review

2013-05-28 Thread Gary King
There is a review of the Victor Reader Stream (New Generation) in the April 
2013 Issue of AccessWorld

http://www.afb.org/afbpress/pub.asp?DocID=aw1404toc

The review mentions a tone that is present on recordings made by the new Stream 
in all recording formats.  If anyone on the list owns the new Stream or has 
heard recordings made by one, I would like to know how seriously this tone 
degrades recordings.

I would also be interested to hear a longer sample of the Acapela speech used 
in the new Stream than the sample on the Humanware web site.  After putting up 
with the mispronunciation issues in the Neospeech used in the BookSense for 
nearly 4 years, I want to know what to expect from the new Stream when reading 
various types of documents.

I am considering a purchase in the near future, and I don't want any bad 
surprises if I decide to spend my $369.

Wel, you can always get the stratus, it doesn't have the same problems
the stream currently have, and it have a very sexy speaker.
