Thanks Allison I will send John an e-mail.
I am an elderly man who has recently lost most of my vision and have been
involved with a low vision group at the senior center here in Santa Clarita.
Most of the people are elderly and I have been reluctant to recommend
Bookshare to them because most of them are not really technically proficient
or affluent and they really need a low cost reader that works properly.
It is good news to hear that one may soon be available.

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 from
bookshare. The reader was very unstable and I thought that by
uninstalling
it, 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 I
can obtain somewhere? Andy
