Hi,
I prefer my phone, because I can talk to it, certainly as far as Audible is
concerned. When I'm lay in bed and too lazy to put my arm out in the cold,
I can just say OK Audible, Pause. OK Audible, Rewind, etc.
It was you Sandra who put me on to that one, so thank you. But try that
with your Stream <Smile>.
All the best

I'm using an old victor reader stream, the first gen, and I like it a lot.
When it dies, I'm getting the latest iteration of the series, they are
wonderful.

I'm not Jackie, but because I enjoy it so much I will tell you why! It is
simple, can listen easily in bed, I love my Daisy books and, of course, it
is somewhat companionable.
No, I am not selling on behalf of Humanware! ;)

HI Jackie, Re your love for the Stream, is it that it can do things which
the phone can't, or is it just ease of use or something else? Just curious.

Hi Carol
For Martin and I, it's one of the best bits of access kit on the market,
there is seldom a day that goes past without them both in use. I don't care
what a Smartphone can do, I can't be without my Stream.
Kind regards,
Jackie Brown

users.
Thanks, Jackie. I was about to post it, a few days back, when I saw
yours and have been pretty occupied since that time.
I am pretty pleased with it, especially the quick record of radio and
(though I haven't yet tried) being able to delete/move more than one
item from the Victor's memory.
I use mine a lot and even the older model sometimes.
