[Dtb-talk] Reader Reviews?

[Mike Freeman]

I note that I forgot to answer your question re NLS and Apple products. The
answer is that NLS *is* thinking about it but no decisions have been made
yet.

Hi.

First, while the BookSense has the best voice, it has a few quirks. (1)
there is no way to enter an arbitrary text search; one must search for the
word under the cursor. (2) I have found a Bookshare Daisy book that has
enough mark-up that the BookSense choked on it while the Victor Reader
Stream processed it just fine albeit after some wait. I should imagine this
is because the BookSense uses Windows CE whereas the Stream runs under Linux
which, I would assume, has better memory management/garbage collection. But
I like both players.

> Mike, thanks. I am leaning toward the Booksense.

BTW, has there been any hint NLS might be considering Apple devices. If
thath was to  happen and Bookshare ever gets their act together and finishes
an app, reading would be good.

Thank you, again.
