[stylist] Humanware Anyone?

[Ashley Bramlett]

Hi,
I also have a stratus so I can use the old fashioned cds.
The stratus cannot do all of that because it does not connect to the 
internet.
But you can download podcasts through another device like a laptop and then 
play them on the stratus.
No dictionary via the stratus. if you have the braille note, you can buy an 
sd card with a dictionary and thesaurus on it.
otherwise, I say just  use the internet.

Ashley

Bill, I have a Stratus. I wonder if I can do all that stuff with it?
The Victor Stratus is a lean, mean, reading machine, but I never read in the
help file where I could get access to a dictionary or thesaurus.
Those, IMO, are a writer's best friend.
Anyone know of a good dictionary and thesaurus one can download from the
net, or are Word's thesaurus and research tools quite sufficient?

Just wondering if any of my new friends here has acquired Humanware's
Victor Reader Stream Mark 2.  You can keep around 100 books on a 32GIG
SD card, download Bookshare books, listen to podcasts and music.  And as
of a couple of weeks ago, you can tune into hundreds of Internet radio
stations, as well as look up words and phrases on Wikipedia and
Wictionary.  Costs around $400.00, which isn't cheap when you're on a
fixed income, but I've found it to be well well well worth it.
