I can't stand the patronising and frankly pointless high volume warning message
either, it's the only aspect of the unit I dislike with a passion! I believe
some people get round this by downloading the US version of the firmware which
doesn't have that message.
I don't use the Internet function much personally, it's main use for me is
listening to books. But of all the "specialist" players out there, this is by
far the best in my view.
Kind regards,
Jackie Brown

I've just returned to a Stream 2nd Gen after some time without one and have
the following observations and questions. I hate the patronising and
backside covering warning against listening at too high a volume. I'd be
interested to know how many people use the internet radio functionality and
whether it is intuitive to use?

Hi Carol
For Martin and I, it's one of the best bits of access kit on the market,
there is seldom a day that goes past without them both in use. I don't
care what a Smartphone can do, I can't be without my Stream.
Kind regards,
Jackie Brown

Update Your Victor Reader Stream to Version 4.6 Today Completely Free!
Today HumanWare is excited to announce the immediate availability of
Victor
Reader Stream version 4.6. This is a completely free update that you can
install right now on your Victor Reader Stream New Generation. This
version
includes many features and stability improvements which have been
requested
specifically by you, the Stream users.
What's New in Version 4.6?
. Internet radio recording: Have you ever been listening to an
internet radio station and a song or program is coming up you know you
want
to listen to again? Now you can with the simple press of a button. When
you
hear something on an internet radio station that you want to record,
simply
press the record button to start the recording of that station. Press it
again to conclude the recording session.
. Improvements to Wikipedia / Wiktionary functionality to support
search resulting in more than one article
. Add function to move and delete all episodes of a podcast feed. Now
you can quickly clear out old podcast episodes if you want to make
additional space, or simply move them to the external SD card.
. Introduced additional text to speech voices in specific languages:
Manon--French, Claudia--German, Lisa--Australian English, Laia--Catalan
. Daisy Online support: In specific countries, libraries are using the
Daisy On-Line Delivery protocol. This support has been added for those and
additional libraries who will offer content using this delivery method to
media players such as the Stream.
