Hi,

Can I import any other voices into my Victor Stream Reader>? I find the
Humanware voices difficult to listen to.
I'm wondering for example one f the voices in Openbook.
Thanks,
Vince Santis, N1VS

All you can do is try it.  My guess it will work.  I use my NLS key with 
open library books on both my victor reader stream and booksense.

Does this mean that I need a new key?
