>Reader
>Stream uses the latest technology from HumanWare to be able to read digital
>talking books. The Stream has a USB port to connect to your computer so you

>memory card.

>The Victor Reader Stream can play various electronic book formats,
>including
>DAISY, MP3, NISO, text, wav, and OGG Vorbis audio files.  The player also
>provides integrated text-to-speech for reading books in text format, such
>as
>those from BookShare. It uses a removable SD flash memory card to store
>books, music as well as electronic text, and can even record voice notes.
