Dear Victor Reader Stream Customer:

NLS has recently began accepting applications from its patrons who wish to
be part of an NLS expanded pilot project for downloading NLS digital talking
books and
magazines.

To be eligible for NLS audio book service you must be a resident of the
United States or be an American citizen living abroad who is unable to read
or use standard print materials as a result of a temporary or permanent
visual or physical limitation.  Each individual must be certified first
before accessing the NLS audio book services.

To qualify for the expanded pilot project you must: 1) be an eligible NLS
patron registered for NLS service by your local library; 2) have a computer
and Internet connection to download and unzip the books; and 3) have a
player capable of playing the books.  The Victor Reader Stream is able to
play the NLS books providing it is
authorized to do so by NLS. 

There are 3 steps to the process to participate in the NLS expanded download
pilot and authorize  your Victor Reader Stream to play NLS books and
magazines.

Step 1 - Apply Online to NLS
To apply for participation in the NLS expanded pilot visit: 
https://www.NLSTalkingBooks.org/DTB 
This page provides basic information about the NLS service and a link to the
application form.  Once you complete this online application form, you will
immediately receive an email from NLS  confirming that NLS has received the
application. If you are approved to participate you will  receive a second
confirmation email with additional information. If there is a problem with
your  application you will also receive a message explaining the problem.

A third NLS email will  include a username, password, instructions for
participation, and how to  obtain help.

Step 2- HumanWare will contact you
If NLS approves your application to the expanded download pilot, they will
also notify HumanWare.
HumanWare will then contact you by email with a link to our web form where
you will need to  supply your player serial number. Please do not try to
complete the web form until you receive  our email as we will be unable to
process your information.

Step 3 - Sending the NLS Authorization Key to You
After you complete the HumanWare web form HumanWare will respond within 2
working days with a  second email. Attached to this email will be an NLS
authorization key file to install on your  Stream. The email will contain
the installation instructions. After you install the key file, you  will be
able to play NLS digital talking books and magazines.

To minimize any delays, please follow the steps in order, waiting on the
prerequisite emails from  NLS and HumanWare, and read carefully all the
information and instructions in those emails.

Thank you,
The HumanWare Support Team
