Tell us Your Story On Tek Talk
Victor Reader Stream - Tell us Your Story On Tek Talk Monday, August 25, 2008
As we approach the first anniversary of the Victor Reader Stream, Accessible World Tech Talk wants to hear from Stream users. Monday August 25 we will host a user forum for the Victor Reader Stream. We invite you to tell us your story. What has the Stream done to change the way you access information? How and why do you use your Stream? How has it changed your life as a student, working age adult, or how do you just plain have fun with it? Have you used it for unusual purposes that perhaps others have not thought of? Do you have tips and tricks to share with your fellow Stream users?
We will begin the session with two users whom we have asked to get the discussion going with their own stories. Then the room will be opened for you to share your experiences. You can also ask questions to our invited presenters and to each other. We have also invited Gerry Chevalier, HumanWare Victor Reader Product Manager, to provide a few tips and tricks of his own. This is your opportunity to share your experiences and learn more about how others use this this versatile little DAISY, MP3, and voice recorder which has already affected the lifestyle of over 10,000 users worldwide.
