The victor itself doesn't show up on my mac, I'm thinking this is a problem with the stream though because my book sense, plextalk pocket and book port plus show up just fine. Fortunately, there is an easy work around for the stream, just put the card in to a card reader. On Jan 23, 2011, at 1:5

Hi! You can do everything with the Victor Reader Stream by hand, the only thing you can't do is convert from the Victor Reader Streams audio format, that's what the software does and that's only for Windows. Now I believe that Humanware have an upgrade package for the Stream available, this pa

So, audible authorization has to be done for each SD card. This would explain why my stream isn't working any more. This is a bit annoying. So, if I use a different SD card, I have to authorize again, this could be a bit annoying to say the least. On Jun 14, 2010, at 12:26 PM, Ana G wrote:
