I'll post it here, it's all good, I know quite a few folks who don't, but I'll do something here and I will probably do an audio review as well because it's one of those that's definitely worth it, epsecially since it's cheapper than read2go but full of features, so no worries.

Re: Books and Nls service
It isn't a matter of providing support for their braille displays to read the daisy content as I understand it. NLS does not include the text in their books from what I've been told; CNIB does. In other words, with out without a braille display, you can't access a text representation of the daisy book from NLS, only the audio. So I believe it would involve changing their whole method of production rather than just adding braille support but I agree that it would allow people with braille displays to choose how they want to read and would allow people who are both deaf and blind to read a much wider variety of content. How difficult it would be for them to do this I honestly don't know. -- Cheryl May the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart be acceptable to You, Lord, my rock and my Redeemer.

Re: Books and Nls service
Hi Cheryl. You're correct in that this is not a braille specific issue, rather, one of NLS not making a textual representation available of the audio. There are certainly many advantages to synchronizing text with audio, or simply having a textual representation of the material available to those who want it. This is actually not even limited to users of braille displays. If NLS were to make the content available in a textual form, this would also provide better access to those with low vision. NLS was made aware of the potential before the Digital Talking Book Program was rolled out, they just didn't think it was worth their while to investigate it further. And if they do not wish to take the extra time to redo the DAISY pipeline of their audio only content, I can understand that, but they should then at least offer a text only version of the DAISY content available for patrons who cannot access the audio, or who wish to access the content in an alternative format. I really don’t understand the copyright restrictions issue they have talked about previously, since Bookshare and Learning Allie who abide by the same copyright laws as NLS offer text versions of their materials. I’d even just say to the people who cannot access the audio to just go with Bookshare, but Bookshare costs money. So basically what it boils down to at this point is that people who are deaf-blind are being forced to pay for access to something that hearing blind people are not.

Re: Books and Nls service
Yes, all you say is true and also not everything on NLS is available in Bookshare. Plus I've had some Bookshare books with serious problems in their ocr though many of them are fine. When the NLs program was first discussed, it was my impression that we would have text access also but that didn't happen. I very much appreciate and enjoy the NLS program, but I was a little jealous when I heard a Victor Stratus demonstration using a CNIB book with synchronized text and audio. But I suppose this really is offtopic so I'll quit here for now. -- Cheryl May the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart be acceptable to You, Lord, my rock and my Redeemer.

RE: Books and Nls service
HI, For whatever reason, Learning Ally chose to set it up so you can't search for the books from within the app and down load them directly. Perhaps you could contact Learning Ally's customer service and request that they change this approach.

The other day I opened the LearnAlly app on the phone. With Learning Ally, one pays a subscription like Bookshare. In the Read@Go app, one can search and download periodicals and books. Why can't one do it in the Learning Ally app. It's running on the same principle. I understand that one needs to purchase the books or magazines from the 3rth party and then sync it to the phone, but in the case of Learning Ally, I don't think it should be this way. HTH.

RE: Books and Nls service
Yes, it is odd, but that is the way Learning Ally designed their process.

Re: Books and Nls service
Hi. I use iBooks, since I don't feel like having to create an account on the Barnes and Noble website, then purchase the content through the other store and then load Nook on my iPhone to read the content. I use iBooks where ever posible. There is always that new app called Voice Dream Reader with the $1 upgrade that provides access to Bookshare books if you're a subscriber, but I have yet to try it. Or if you want to pay the $20, you can get read2go, which is Bookshare's app. At this time, there is no NLS app for iOS.

RE: Books and Nls service
If you have the voice dream reader and are a bookshare subscriber does that mean you don't have to buy the read to go app? If I'm understanding right and this is correct, I may do that. Thanks, Patti -Original Message- From: viphone@googlegroups.com [mailto:viphone@googlegroups.com] On Behalf Of Scott Davert Sent: Thursday, January 03, 2013 12:27 PM To: viphone@googlegroups.com Subject: Re: Books and Nls service Hi. I use iBooks, since I don't feel like having to create an account on the Barnes and Noble website, then purchase the content through the other store and then load Nook on my iPhone to read the content. I use iBooks where ever posible. There is always that new app called Voice Dream Reader with the $1 upgrade that provides access to Bookshare books if you're a subscriber, but I have yet to try it. Or if you want to pay the $20, you can get read2go, which is Bookshare's app. At this time, there is no NLS app for iOS.

Re: Books and Nls service
NLS does not have an app. Many of us are anxiously waiting for it to arrive.

Re: Books and Nls service
I've seen rumors of an NLS app coming soon. In the meantime, I use whatever book apps I can, including Google Play Books, Nook, and Ibooks. If you read Braille, it's possible to convert the .brf files to pdf so that they can be read in Ibooks. This method works well, if you read with a Braille display only.

RE: Books and Nls service
Let's hope it's much more than just a rumor. :) What would be fantastic would be a player and browser built in to one, so you could both download books and listen to them all from one app! Similar to read to go! I would even pay for that.

RE: Books and Nls service
Likely issue will be that IOS controls the speed playback. I.e 1.5 x and 2x which sounds choppy to me. 2x on the Stream sounds wonderful and I often listen at faster rates then that. So, I am bracing myself for this likely problem.
