I will say, the Blaze is better in the fact HIMS has a database of radio 
stations you can download to the Blaze.

I can't say anything aboud the Blaze ocr as compared to the KNFB reader app.

Hi and thanks Russ.  I don't have a smart phone which as I
understand, has a pretty good OCR app for either Android or
I-phone.  That is what I am most interested in with the Blaze.
You are right about the Stream having a much better interface for
internet radio etc.  than the Plextalk.  I have both but have
forgotten how to use the streaming radio on the Plextalk since
getting the new Stream.  Btw, I found some Hawaiian PD streams on
the VR Stream I Think using the search word broadcastify.  Still
haven't found NASA TV audio.  73, Jim WA6EKS

Here are some things to be aware  of about the Blaze.  internet
radio and
downloading podcasts work very much like the bookport plus and
plextalk
pocket.
The Stream has a much better implementation of internet radio and
podcasts.
I
feel that the Stream has a better way of organizing it's content.
At this point in time, the Blaze won't play content from Audible.
Learning
Ally has no plans at this point in time to support playback of
there content
on the Blaze.  The Blaze doesn't have NFB Newsline like the
Stream.

Hi list, just wondering if any of you have experience with the
Blaze ET unit
that has OCR built in as well as a host of other ways to read
stuff?
Thanks, Jim WA6EKS
