So far as I know, Second Sense sells the Victor Reader Stream.  Call them at
312-236-8569.

The Victor Reader is put out by a company called Humanware. Here is their
website:  www.humanware.com/. You can find out their phone number from this
site and who the dealers are in your area. If you decide to get one, I think
you will really like it. I had one, but now have a Booksense, which is put
out be Hims. Their website is:  www.hims-inc.com/. It is smaller and more
compact than a Victor Reader. It is about the size of a cell phone. With
both of these devices you can download NLS books, books from Audible and
Bookshare. You can also copy MP3 music files. You can get your Newsline
newspapers by e-mail and copy the files onto the SD card. They're both
really great devices and are comparable in price.

Hi all,

I have some questions.  does this Second Sight place teach you ways to do
things like activities of daily living or mobility?

My other question is this, Does anyone know how to obtain a victor Stream
and if so could someone give me the number for the nearest rep, or the
company who makes it.

Thanks,

Jenny
