EyePod TechnoCast Logo In this installment of our EyePod Technocast, we direct our attention to two product lines that have been showcased in previous podcasts, Serotek’s System Access Mobile Network (http://www.serotek.com/buynow.html), and HumanWare’s globally acclaimed Victor Reader Stream (http://www.humanware.com/en-usa/products/dtb_players/ compact_models/_details/id_81/victorreader_stream.html).
 
In these products’ latest software updates, the Victor Reader Stream leverages the vast amounts of content on the System Access Mobile network.
 
Listen to this podcast as Larry Lewis demonstrates how to access audio descriptive movies off of the System Access Mobile network and then play these movies on his Victor Reader stream!
 
Such an approach to portable entertainment is a first in the industry and a much needed shot in the “access” arm for those of us who are vision impaired!

EyePod TechnoCast Logo In this installment of Flying Blind, LLC’s EyePod TechnoCast we introduce you to the Victor Reader Stream.
 
This Daisy, MP3, and Niso player is arguably one of the most exciting products to take the Adaptive Technology Industry by storm in quite some time. A great big Yankee “Thank You!” goes out to our neighbors up North, The HumanWare Canada Team, for their effort, thoughtfulness, and the obvious consideration that they invested in the creation of the Victor Reader Stream.
 
Photo of the Victor Reader Stream In this podcast I provide an overview of the Stream, illustrate how to use the Stream, show how to record notes as well as access a variety of Daisy and Niso books via the Stream, and play a few tunes from my diverse music collection on this multi-faceted player.
 
This product retails for a nominal US$329.00 within the US, and HumanWare US is even offering free shipping on purchases of the Stream through the end of December 2007.
 
I’m confident that once you listen to this podcast, you will agree that everyone who has a visual impairment and who loves to listen to audio books and music must own at least one of these portable “Techno-Jewels”!

EyePod TechnoCast Logo In this installment of the EyePod TechnoCast we unveil a first in the Adaptive Technology Industry.
 
Serotek Corporation, developers of System Access Software, have provided to those of us who are vision impaired the world’s first web-based screen reader.
 
What this means for those of us who are vision impaired is that we can now walk up to ANY Windows-based PC and launch a web-browsing session using only Internet Explorer!
 
Volume 2 of the EyePod TechnoCast illustrates how to initiate a screen reading session using System Access To Go on a PC that DOES NOT have any screen reading software installed on it.
 
Come join us as we utilize this software to perform a number of popular PC tasks using this fresh approach to PC access!
