[nabs-l] VR stream pros and cons

[Hope Paulos]

Hi Ashley. I've found it extremely useful for recording classes. Both 
classes I attend and classes I teach. It allows me to then transfer the 
recordings to the computer. I've not played around with the music portion of 
the vr stream, so would be interested in hearing more about that from 
another subscriber.  You cansearch for a word if the book is in txt format. 
Otherwise, you can navigate to chapter or page.
Hth.
