Victor Reader Stream Program

Thanks to a grant from the Assistive Technology Advocacy Center of Disability Rights of New Jersey, the New Jersey State Library Talking Book & Braille Center has purchased Victor Reader Stream players for a pilot program to lend the players to TBBC patrons ages 21 and under. The Victor Reader Stream plays NLS downloaded digital books and is much smaller and more portable than the NLS Digital Talking Book Machine.

Information about the Victor Reader Stream can be found at the HumanWare website: www.humanware.com/en-usa/products/blindness/dtb_players/compact_models/_details/id_81/victorreader_stream_daisy_mp3.html 

If you would you like your child to be involved in this pilot program, TBBC will:

• Lend your child a Victor Reader Stream;
• Assist you in signing up for BARD;
• Help you learn how to download books from BARD to the Victor Reader Stream.

Participants will need to:

• Download at least one book onto the Victor Reader Stream;
• Take a survey about the using the Victor Reader Stream;
• Return the Victor Reader Stream once it is no longer being used to listen to books from TBBC or TBBC requests its return.
