[nabs-l] VR stream pros and cons

[Katie Wang]

Ashley,
  You can find the Access World journal by going to www.afb.org and click on 
the Access World link. You will then see the most recent issue of the 
journal as well as a search box, where you will be able to search for Victor 
Reader Stream or any other information related to assistive technology you 
may be interested in.

>>> What's the site to download books?
>>>
>>> What navigation capabilities does it have?  Can you search by words?  I 
>>> know on the VR Wave you can go to bookmarks as well as chapters and 
>>> pages.
>>>
>>> If you record stuff can you transfer it to your computer?  What 
>>> functions does the MP3 player portion have?  Can you create playlists? 
>>> Can you jump to certain songs by name or singer like with regular mp3 
>>> players?
>>>
>>> What are some of the cons of it?
>>> I will likely use it for recording notes such as phone numbers and 
>>> lists. I will also use the books feature to download books from RFB and

>>> Thanks.
