This portion of the tutorial list hardware playback devices that "read" DAISY books.

We commonly use three basic hardware playback devices that provide access to DAISY talking books. Each resembles a common CD-Player and is operated in much the same manner. Complete instructions for using these devices are available in the training manuals and step-by-step instructions available for your perusal.


We refer to the Victor Reader Vibe (above) as the LD or Dyslexic unit. It most resembles a common CD player (and does also play regular compact disks) and is designed for students with the most common print impairments. The New Jersey Unit of Recordings for the Blind and Dyslexic provides a .pdf overlay to assist students in learning to use the Vibe.



We refer to the Telex Scholar (above) as the low-vision playback unit due to its controls being more tactile by design. The New Jersey Unit of Recordings for the Blind and Dyslexic provides a tutorial on using this unit.

We refer to the Victor Reader Classic+ (above) as the blind playback unit due to its fully tactile design. The New Jersey Unit of Recordings for the Blind and Dyslexic provides a comprehensive on-line instructional manual for this unit.
