Hi, Lillian. I ordered my Victor in September and received it within
ten days or so. Of course, that wasn't the Trek. Anyway, I love it.
It has so many more capabilities than the original Victor.
Good luck with your Trek.

Hi, Jan;You are invited to visit the moderator's Web site at WWW.DavidGoldfield.Info
You've got the second generation Stream, right? I'm just curious. When did
you order it? I'm wondering because the newest, third generation's due to
ship to all of us who pre-ordered it in July or August. It's the one called
Victor Stream Trek. The incentive for pre-ordering was a [c note] discount,
which was a tremendous savings. Tomorrow I'm going to call Humanware and ask
if they can pin-point the exact ship date. I like to know when my orders
will arrive so I know when they'll be someone home to get those deliveries.
I just ordered speed-dots for my I-pod Touch and I-phone 8 plus. I think
they will help me to be oriented on those screens better, especially the
phone. I didn't realize that size screen would be so awkward to carry around
with me. Also, I didn't consider that my small hands might have difficulty
keeping my phone anchored while working with different areas of its screen.
Andrew, my I-device teacher, suggested I exchange that one for an 8 because
it's a little smaller
. Unfortunately, I'm past the trial period. When I bought it, the salesman
in the Verizon store neglected to inform me of that fact. Perhaps, in two
years, when my contract's up, I might then be able to exchange it. However,
by then, I shall have been able to figure out a work around, especially
since those speed-dots ought to be a big help to me in regard to navigating
within certain controls. My computer guy was here today, helping us set up
our Google Home device and pairing my Blue Tooth Keyboard to my phone.
Anyway, I hope you have lots of enjoyment with your Victor Stream. Take
care.

David, sorry for not answering your email sooner. It came shortly before we
left for a 20-day vacation, from which we returned this Sunday night. Most
of what you said was common-sense stuff I knew, but I just couldn't seem to
make it work. In any case, I had one of my friends in Denver (where we
spent part of our vacation) accomplish the seemingly impossible task of
copying the authorization key to my SD card, and now all is fine. I
absolutely love my new Victor, and am still in the learning phase of all the
things this new marvel can do.
Thanks again for always being so helpful and thorough.

First, congratulations on purchasing your Victor Stream. It's quite a
nice device. I think you'll have hours of enjoyment from it.
If my memory is correct I believe you're using the actual Webmail
interface for Gmail? Is that correct?
If this is the case, once you open a message containing an attachment,
there is actually a button which will allow you to download the
attached file to your computer.
With your screen reader, press the letter B to navigate through the
list of buttons, once the message containing the attachment is opened.
Because there are quite a few buttons, you might want to navigate to
the beginning of the email message first. From there, press the letter
B until you hear "download" followed by the name of the file. As an
example, if the file is called jan.doc, look for a button which will
say something like
"download jan.doc to your computer"
There is another button which will say something like
"download jan.doc to your drive"
but I believe this is for transferring the file to your Google drive,
which is different from your computer's hard drive.
Once you press the button to download the attachment to your computer,
what happens next will depend on which Web browser you're using.
I haven't tried this with Internet Explorer but, if this is the
browser you use, you'll probably hear a prompt asking if you want to
either run or save the file. You want to save it and I think pressing
alt+S will save the file. Unless this has been changed, the file
should be saved into your downloads folder.
Once you open the downloads folder, you should, hopefully, find the
file. From there, you should be able to transfer it to your Victor
Stream. If you need assistance doing this, don't hesitate to let us know.
Is this attachment used for authorizing your Stream to work with Bard
titles from NLS?

Hi, again. My question doesn't concern how to copy something to
Victor but how to save an attachment using my email program. I know
how to save things using Microsoft Word, of course; but what does it
mean to save an attachment using my email program (and, by the way, I
don't use Outlook)?
