Hi Ann and Everyone,
Thank you for the help with the VR Stream and its voice changes, smile,
things are working so much better now, and just signed up for the Digital
Talking Book program. Will see how that goes.

Hi all
Shellie,
You put the DAISY books from bookshare in the $VRdtb folder. If you got
the braille copy, you put that in $vrtext
As for the voices, go to the Humanware site and download the correct
version of the software with the voice you want. Yes, I'm not wild about
her or Tom. So, what I do, is I put the bookshare books into Kurzweil and
convert 'em to MP3. Now, you can't get the DAISY features, the navigation
if you do this, but the voice is a heck of a lot more pleasant. If
somebody knows of a way to convert DAISY text in Kurzweil so it retains
its ability to navigate, I'll be in your debt. However, if you're
planning to read the book all the way through, it's fine. Just put the
mp3's in a folder called by the book's name in $vrother books.
HTH,
Ann P.
