Victor Reader Stream New version, New companion, New SoftPak!Please, allow 
me to be the first one to pass this to the list.  The $50 software upgrade 
would only be important to purchase if you need to play ITunes files other 
than MP3 or record in MP3, or the highest Audible format for books from 
audible.  But it is nice that they put an SD Card backup feature into 
Humanware Companion.  If they ever add internal recording editing like the 
new bookport I'll be buying that optional software.

  Victor Reader Stream:  New version, New companion, New SoftPak!

Longueuil, May 26, 2010 -- Count them, not 1, not 2, but 3 important 
announcements for our Stream customers.
Firstly, HumanWare is pleased to announce a Version 3.2 Stream free software 
upgrade with support for Russian, Belgian Dutch and Brazilian Portuguese 
languages. Imagine the popularity of the Stream now extends worldwide from 
Australia and New Zealand, to the tropics of Brazil, to North America, more 
than a dozen countries in Europe and now even to the streets of Moscow. 
Stream supports 14 languages with more to come!
Secondly, HumanWare is also announcing a new version 3.2 of the Companion 
Software that is compatible with both the Stream and ClassMate. This newly 
updated free software now provides a backup and restores SD card features. 
Other new features include transfer of DOC and PDF files. For your 
convenience, Companion now converts MS Word DOC files to HTML and PDF to 
text files so you can access them on your Stream.
Finally, version 3.2 has hidden treasures that you should know about. In 
addition to new languages and general maintenance, we now have the 
underlying framework to support our long anticipated SoftPak. The Stream 
SoftPak is optional software that provides five features for which we have 
had many requests: support of the EPUB book format, ability to play 
Audible's Enhanced Audio books, playback of MP4 audio including iTunes, 
Support for MS Word DOCX and ability to record in MP3 or Wav file formats.
We are offering the version 3.2 Stream and Companion upgrades at no charge. 
For more information and to download visit 
www.humanware.com/stream_software. After installing 3.2 you may take 
advantage of the optional software features by purchasing the SoftPak for a 
nominal charge of $49.
For more information about the Stream SoftPak visit 
www.humanware.com/softpak. You may also purchase SoftPak online from that 
page or by calling our customer service team toll free at 1-800-722-3393.
