Longueuil (Quebec, Canada), June 29, 2007 HumanWare is proud to
introduce its most compact, most powerful DAISY player to date,
the Victor Reader Stream. Blind and low vision people can
comfortably hold this new player in the palm of their hand (4.6 x
2.6 x 0.9) and have the flexibility to quickly and accurately
access content from digital audio books.
Developed with the National Federation of the Blind (NFB), the
Victor Reader Stream uses the latest technology from HumanWare to
be able to read digital talking books from the National Library
Service for the Blind and Physically Handicapped (NLS).
Not only will you be able to play and navigate the NLS books on
cartridges, but you will also have access to NLS download books.
The Stream has a USB port to connect to your computer so you can
transfer download books and music from your PC to the Stream's SD
flash memory card.
As the newest member of the family of Victor Reader digital
talking book players, the Stream offers the same powerful and
simple to use user interface made popular by the Victor Reader
Classic+ and Wave players used by thousands worldwide.
The Victor
Reader Stream can play various electronic book formats, including
DAISY, Bookshare, text, wav, MP3 and OGG Vorbis audio files. As
well, the ability to play the popular commercial books from
Audible.com will be added by September. The player also provides
integrated text-to-speech for reading books in text format, such
as those from Bookshare.
It uses a removable SD flash memory card to store books, music as
well as electronic text, and can even record voice notes.
"The VR Stream benefits from our many years of expertise learned
through developing and marketing tens of thousands of our Victor
Reader digital talking book players all over the world," says
Gerry Chevalier, Product Manager. "No other DAISY player has
offered so much in such a small device."
The Stream offers the most advanced DAISY functions, as well as
navigation capabilities for all kinds of books, from textbooks to
fiction. Students will definitely appreciate Victor Reader Stream
for quickly and effectively consulting their school books, making
voice notes or recording their teacher during class. This tool is
indispensable for people who are required to use reference books
as a regular part of their job.
"This new player was designed to meet the needs of the increasing
number of on-the-go blind and low vision students and
professionals," said Gerry Chevalier.
"Its small
size and flexible SD card storage allow our customers to take
their entire book and music library with them anywhere, anytime."
The best news of all... priced at only $329, the Stream is your
best buy for DAISY players, offering so much performance and
functionality at such a low price. Don't forget all NFB and ACB
members receive a 5% discount. But that's not all.
If you
purchase online at HumanWare before July 31, 2007, you have a 10%
chance of getting your Stream for free. HumanWare will randomly
choose one out of ten July purchasers to receive their Stream at
no cost.
Victor Reader Stream is available for purchase online in the USA
at http://www.humanware.com/.
 The new Stream will become available in other countries over the
next several months.
