[Dtb-talk] SD Card Label on Stream

[Mike Freeman]

Makes sense. This is, in fact, what is happening. I love my Stream but this is the sort of feaux pas that should have been caught at the Alpha stage!

Thank you.

The document says that NOTEPAD can be used to create the file. The file is named $vrlabel.txt. I used my Braille Sense Plus to create this text file on a 32 gigabyte secure digital card but the Stream doesn't voice it. The file is pure ASCII. Any ideas why this feature doesn't work?
