Hi Chris,
I don’t know about XP, but I use IE8 with a Windows 7 machine. Sometimes my
downloads fail, but if I don’t get an E-mail, I go back to Bookshare and check.
Usually it has failed, but I just download it again from the general catalog,
wait for the E-mail, and then I can get it onto my computer eventually. If it
keeps failing, perhaps you could ask support about your XP? HTH!

Can you download the version that has both the TTS voice and the general text
just like the text only. I ask because every time I have tried to download the
version that has both text and audio, the download is sent to me via email if
it succeeds but typically the download simply fails. Perhaps it is due to using
an XP machine with IE8?

Just download the Bookshare Daisy audio version. It comes with its own voice
and that voice is of much higher quality than Heather or Ryan.

Hi Chris, I have the previous generation VR Stream, the voices that were
avaiolable to me were Samantha and Tom. You might be able to go to the
Humanware site and download them for your device. Dont know but you could give
it a try. Regards, Kim Friedman.

Hi All,
Speaking of voices, does anyone know if the new generation VR-Stream
has better voices that can be downloaded for dealing with Bookshare. I actually
use JAWS and my Braille way more than my stream for these books because
honestly I find the voices of Heather and Ryan bothersome:) (yes I have the
latest version of the VR-Stream downloaded) and not ideal for book reading.
Happy Easter,
Chris
