It just takes practice. After using it several times, I developed a rhythm.

I can confirm this. I was a bit dubious about the multi-tap method at first,
but while I haven't used it for Bookshare searches, I've done quite a few
ooTunes searches with it and I'm pretty quick at it now.

You will get faster at using the streams keyboard for typing in your
searches. It sounds slow at first, I thought that too but after having
mine for a while I was pretty fast at it.

I've been reading about that because someone kindly sent me a link to the

my
first choice for downloading books. One of my main reasons is that the
radio
reception is terrible in most areas in my apartment. There are a very few
stations I'd like to be able to hear when I'm in my kitchen or living
room,
and there are also podcasts that I've found through links in email digests
I
receive. I think it would be nice to get some of those and not have to sit
at the computer all of the time. But the learning will be slow and
difficult for me and also, there are so many books that I want to read so
I
suspect I won't get it all done. Actually, it would be nice if Humanware
added a feature that allows you to talk to the stream, rather than having
to
use the keys to text everything. People can do that with I phones.

You can do a search on either BARD or Bookshare. You use the keyboard as
you
would on a telephone. 2 for abc, etc.

That's good to hear. Can I search for a specific title? That's how I
usually
ue Bookshare, for books that I've just heard or read about that are new
that
aren't on BARD or that I don't want to get from BARD because I don't like
the narration.

Hi Miriam,
With Bookshare, you enter your userid and password into the fields. You
won't be bothered with it again.

Subject: [bookshare-discuss] Second geneeration stream
I'm about to get a second geneeration stream. I'm doing this with much
trepidation, given my difficulty with learning new technology. However,
one
of my reasons is that should my computer go down as it did in 2013, I'd
like
to be able to download books directly. I've been very happpy using the
daisy
audio format, downloading with my computer. I'm wondering if I need to do
something with Bookshare akin to what one does with NLS with a new device,
getting a key or registering it in some way in order to download directly
from Bookshare.
