Dear Victor Reader Stream Customer:

An alternative Stream software with the English U.K. male (Daniel)
TTS voice is now available for download at:

http://www.humanware.com/en-canada/support/victor_reader_stream 


This alternative version 1.2 software has a male TTS English U.K.
voice (Daniel) and can be downloaded to replace the software with
the female Samantha voice currently shipped on all English Streams.
The Daniel voice will be shipped with future U.K. Streams.  If you
wish to change back to Samantha female TTS voice you can download
and re-install the alternative UPG from the same page.

The functionality of the software is the same for both downloads.
Only the TTS voice differs. The complete list of new features for
version 1.2 and the installation instructions can be found in the
What's New document in the documentation list on the same above web
page.  This support page also has links to listen to all Vocalizer
TTS voices.

To summarize the Stream software Installation:

- download the zip file with your choice of TTS voice

- Unzip the single UPG upgrade file. You do not require special
unzip software with Windows XP or Vista. Simply press Enter on the
downloaded zip file and the UPG file will be shown. You can then
copy the UPG file to the clipboard and paste it into the root of the
Stream SD card.

- Insert the card into the Stream, connect the Stream to AC power,
and turn it on.

- The Stream will recognize the special UPG file and initiate the
upgrade process. Audio messages will inform you of the start and end
of the update process.

- Remove the UPG file from your SD card after updating.



Thank you.

The HumanWare Support Team
