Andrew -- -- I am sorry to hear that victor reader is still not working properly.
When I first joined Bookshare back near the beginning they did not supply any reader and I had a real problem finding one at a reasonable price.
I finally abandoned Victor reader completely and I assumed that since Bookshare has become quite successful they would have updated the reader. I am unaware of any other daisy reader which is both free and fully operable.
In the end I finally got a little program called text allowed MP3 which is available from next up.com for download free and costs $30 to register which gives a couple of more acceptable voices than the Microsoft one that is available with the free download.
One of my pet peeves is that Bookshare has never provided a decent reader for their books. It seems that they could find one and, if necessary, make it available free or at a reasonable price.
As far as I am concerned anything with the victor reader named on it is suspect. I have recently been considering buying a victor reader stream but the name just turns me off.

Hi, I had to uninstall the victor reader that I have downloaded frombookshare. The reader was very unstable and I thought that by uninstallingit, and reinstalling it, things would be good. Well... not that good. I went to bookshare.com and installed victor reader 2.0. Now, all I get is send report button. There is an error each time I try to run the program.Does anyone have any ideas? Also, is there another free daisy reader that Ican obtain somewhere? Andy Andrew J. LaPointe Salem Commission on Disabilities Salem City Hall 93 Washington St. Salem, MA. 01970 978-745-9595 Andrew J.
