Hi Steve,
Well, we're both right. <smile> You can use the 2 key as I mentioned and the
4 key also works. Interesting!

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
Richard Bartholomew
