HumanWare launches Victor Reader Stream, a powerful, palm-size
DAISY-MP3 player for playing books and music
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.
