Los Angeles California, March 17, 2009 -- Today at the annual
CSUN technology conference in Los Angeles, HumanWare announced
the latest version of its popular Victor Reader Stream DAISY NISO
book player, MP3 player, and voice recorder. The latest release
of software for the Stream is version 3.0. It is a free upgrade
software for the tens of thousands of users who now enjoy their
Stream worldwide.
Version 3.0 is a major release packed with new features that
continue to distinguish the Stream as the industry leader among
pocket size accessible players. Version 3.0 responds to popular
requests received from many Stream customers. New features
include:
* Multi-level bookshelf navigation for Other Books, Podcasts, and
Text. Now you can optionally organize these bookshelves into
multiple levels of folders and navigate at those levels.
* Multi-level folder navigation within Music files. For example,
now you could choose to organize your music by levels such as
genre, artist, and album and navigate at those levels to more
quickly find your desired music.
* Further you can now instantly create temporary playlists of any
subset of your music collection and limit Random play to only
that portion of your music.
* Moreover, you can turn random play on or off with a single key
press like many commercial MP3 players.
* Text Search. Yes, now you can enter words to search for in
your text files or text-only DAISY books.
* Bookmark alert. You can enable an optional bookmark alert
feature to notify you when you are playing a book and pass over a
previously bookmarked position. It will even automatically
announce your audio bookmarks.
* Two text-to-speech voices. The English version of Stream 3.0
will now include both a male and female text-to-speech voice.
* A 30 minute Time Jump feature and many other usability
improvements have been added.
"With the increasing use of 8gb, 16, and even 32gb storage cards,
users are managing ever increasing amounts of data on their
Stream", says Gerry Chevalier, Victor Reader Product Manager.
"With thousands of music files and hundreds of podcasts or text
files they have asked us to provide more efficient navigation and
version 3 delivers just that."
Says Chevalier, "The improved navigation as well as the bookmark
alert, text search and other usability improvements in Stream 3.0
renews HumanWare's commitment to our Stream customers that we
would continue to enhance the Stream over time to maximize their
Stream investment."
And there's more. HumanWare is pleased to announce that Stream
3.0 will also be accompanied by a completely new-look Stream
Companion software. The new Stream Companion 3.0 Windows
software has a completely new menu driven interface, support for
the new Bookshare zip format, and more.
HumanWare expects to have both the Stream 3.0 and Companion 3.0
available for free download before the end of March. The
software will be made available on the Stream Support Page
(http://www.humanware.com/en-usa/support/victor_reader_stream).
