Yes, they are and you also have a wrist strap and a shoulder strap that comes
with it.

Hi, Kathleen,
I think a Victor Reader Stream is small enough where you can put it in your
purse. I could be wrong but I think they're pretty small.

Well I don't think a victor stream would do me that good right now. I don't
have Wi-Fi in here so I don't think I would be able to download. That's kind of
a bummer though too. Man I wish I could've gotten one but oh well. I'm not
really sure what I want for my birthday. Oh yes but I ordered my Cheryl's
cookies oh definitely. And I got my banana bread in that order too. It hasn't
come yet I think it'll come around the 12th. That'll be a nice thing to have
after surgery. That would be good too. Well let's see. I talked to my mom and
after that I'm just relaxing. I'm not really doing anything else. What is a
victor stream light? How big is it? I guess you can read books and all that
kind of thing. I've never touched one so I don't know what it feels like. Can
somebody tell me what it's like? I'm just curious. Well there's another video
on the net about the crane the fellow here in New York City.

Wonder if the Victor Stream has stations that are on Tune-In Radio. I
haven’t heard of O-O Tunes, but if that works from a computer, I would imagine
I’ll be able to negotiate getting radio I like. Haven’t really gotten into
podcasting, but then again, I am not really conversant about it.
Thanks, Sharon!!

Linda,
Yes you can like radio stations and such. Also you can download
podcasts. I have a 32 gig but lots of stuff on my card. I have allot of music
on it and old radio shows, as well.
Also book. If an internet radio station is on OO tunes you can listen
to it even the listen factor. It is really easy to safe your favorite internet
stations.
I think you will love it. I also have the old victor stream.

Oo, sounds really promising to me! Looks like a 16 gig card may not be
enough, but we’re talking about things you can listen to on the net, right?

Well, I know that The Listen Factor folks will help you if you want
help to get their stuff on there. They show lots of stuff you'd probably like,
and they've got drama, movies, sitcoms, old radio, lots of stuff.

Hmmm, wish I’d known. I saw the sale price at which Laz Mesa was
selling it and decided to save $15.00. I just might put Blindy TV on it. It’s
in my favorites and I almost never watch it. I’ll be looking forward to being
able to download BARD books directly onto this Victor Stream. But, o-oh, I
hope I’ve got my wy-fi number on my cell phone because I lost the sheet of
braille paper it was on.

If you buy it from Roger Behm, he puts some stations on it for you like
Beatles and listen factor and Blindie Tv. Can't think of what else, but he does
that, and is wonderful to deal with.

Would you believe, I was gonna order it today, even deposited money my
brother gave me so I could spend the $349 for the stream and have enough money
to make it through the rest of the month, but when I got home, I took a nap.
Oops, it better get ordered tomorrow or else I lose $16.00 as the sale ends
tomorrow. Lately I’ve been forgetting things, like mailing a talking book back
to the Arizona State Library though I knew my mom and I were going right by a
mail box yesterday. Then I forgot to give my brother his lasagna dish and jam
jar back to him. Fortunately, he remembered. Don’t know what’s going on or
not going on with my head.

Linda, when you boot up your phone, that's when you put in the numbers.
After that, if the screen locks and you do have fingerprint ID up and running,
all you need do is put your finger in, and it will unlock the screen.
As for the second generation Stream, it's so great! Downloading books
is even easier than using the old software. You have a couple of ways of doing
it, and everyone has their favorite, I guess, but it's totally easy. If you
want help, call us.

Oh, really? I had no earthly idea! I thought, and I think my phone
has said on occasion, that for me to use touch ID, I must put in my six-digit
pass code. I think I’m reaching senility or something similar, a
technological overload. I am seeming to become really overwhelmed by
technology. I don’t put music on my I-Phone, finding it much, much easier
to put it on my Sanza Clip MP3 player from talkingmp3players.com
<http://talkingmp3players.com> , from whom I’m also going to be purchasing a
new Victor Stream. Right now, I’m having to use my old Victor Stream to
download books from BARD using my Book Port software. It’s crazy, but it
does work, but I’d just like to update the Victor Stream although my old one
still works perfectly well. I suspect music sounds a whole lot better on the
second-generation one. Thankfully, Laz Mesa does a great tutorial with this
machine. As to Drop Box, I’ll hopefully listen to the three-part tutorial
in the next couple of days, pain notwithstanding.

Hi Linda. I just got in at the middle of this thread so forgive me if I
missed something. However. The whole purpose of touch ID is to prevent you from
having to put in your passcode every time you unlock your phone. That's the
beauty of touch ID.

I really miss the ease of just being able to make phone calls, and now that
I’ve got the finger print thing and I have to put a six-digit code into my
I-Phone any time I unlock it, it’s just getting to be too slow and tedious.
I’m not one who plays with games much, so I haven’t downloaded anything
like that. Thanks, though, for your suggestion.

Linda, to go from one contact to another, try swiping from left to
right instead of going up and down. I think with a little practice and a few
more fun apps, you'll never want to go back, but that's just my opinion. :)

Hi All,
I was talking to my friend Gina about this. Like me, she has an
I-Phone 5, but
I don't think she's upgraded to I-OS 9 point anything. I've updated to
9.3, and
I've noticed when I try to move through my contacts list, even though
I'm using
the familiar page-up gesture, I'm getting a beep sound and the word
"refreshing"
a lot, and the page isn't moving up. Seems to me that as they're
updating, some
of the more basic functions are becoming more difficult to do, and I
don't know
why this has to be that way. I'm so annoyed that when my contract runs
out in
August, I'm thinking about going back to a regular flip phone as I've
never used
Blind Square, and only occasionally use the KNFB Reader and money
talker. I've
gotten another manual bill readingmachine which is in my purse at all
times.
