Hi Don,

 

I think you mean the 4 key, not the 2 key. But it is still a long way around
it.  I wish they would split the info up into numbers.  So for example, you
could press the 0 for info key, then 5 for battery or something like that.

 

All the best

 

Steve

Hi Richard,

 

Actually, you don't have to wade through all the info on the stream.  After
you press the information key, you can press the 2 key to get to the part of
the info you want to hear, such as battery status for example.

Hi,

 

As with everyone else, I am disappointed over how Springer have handled this
latest set-back and seriously wonder if the BC now has a future!  There are
two facets of the BC which, to my mind, are far superior to those of the
Victor Reader Stream.

 

Firstly, the BC is so, so much slicker in its use; for example, pressing key
5 on the BC immediately tells you the information you want whereas with the
VR Stream, you have to wade through the unwanted verbiage of the description
of the key first.  There are many other examples of this slickness vs
unweildiness in other areas, too.  As far as I can see, there is no way to
customise the VR Stream to cut down on prompts, etc but, I apologise if I
have missed this in the documentation somewhere!

 

Secondly, the internal clock; the VR Stream simply doesn't have one!

 

I know this is the BC list but I would appreciate it if someone could let me
know of anywhere I can read up on the upcoming features in the Stream in the
hopes that my above dislikes have been addressed.

 

Thanks in anticipation.

 

Regards
