Victor Reader Stream 3
|
Hello Everyone
I have just got a Victor Reader Stream 3 and really like it. Of course, there are a few things that are not as good as the VR2 and I wonder if anyone knows of any plans to fix them: 1. When pressing the WhereAmI buttn, the VR2 used to give a percentage of the book being read. This no longer happens. 2. The VR3 does not display the time properly. For example, for 11:30 AM it says 11 Hours 30 Minutes Ahem. Are there any plans to correct this? If anyone is interested, the VR3 will play the BBC Event Streams used for broadcasting sport.

I think the guy from Humanware who appears on this list ocasionally is going to be the one to answer your queries.? I find the time announcement anoying too.The where am I glitch is one that should be addressed too. I shamefully admit to not having downloaded any RNIB books for some time which of course would have to be done via my computer, but I do not think I havew the right URL for the download service so if anyone can send it here then that would be helpful as I find RNIB customer service a bit hit and miss. Being able to download books via the VR Stream is long overdue but that's not Humanware's fault.? I wish RNIB would get its act together on this one as I know its going to need co-operation from them for it to happen. Final brief comment on the VR3.? Its small and fits well in the hand, if you do not cover up the speaker.? I find the keys a bit squidgy to press and I do not care much for the reorganisaiton of the menu system, but all said I get on with the VR3 well enough. Ocasionally the BBC streams are prone to a little interuption but good to know the event streams do stil work.? Have the URLs changed for these? Just end by commenting I wish more podcasts had chapters alla departed Living Blindfully. Ray. On 11/10/2024 12:00 pm, Pele West via groups.io wrote:

There have been a beta program running for weeks/months now so I think we can be optimistic of improvements. I am forbidden to refer to anything specific though. Unfortunately, I was not able to join actively the beta program because of domestic health etc. issues, including my retired Guide Dog having to be put to sleep today. I, for one, would be interested in a step by step in adding the BBC Event streams to the Victor 3, I have them on Speech Radio on the iPhone but it is a real hassle navigating them all with swipes.

Hi David
I am sorry to hear about your poor health and your dog. Someone on another list sent me the BBC Event Streams and I compiled a playlist and imported it to the VR3. I can send you the playlist if you are interested. Do you know if anyone can take part in beta testing? I think it could be quite interesting. Pele |

Re Beta testing - I think they have enough testers at the moment, though I volunteered only to let them down. Matthew from Humanware organises the testing and I believe he is on this list but on holiday at the moment. Yes, it would be great if you could send the playlist for event streams, I am not sure that this list can take attachments though so you might have to DropBox it or something.
