New Generation Victor Reader Stream, version 4.2
upgrade
September 5, 2013 — HumanWare is pleased to announce the
latest software upgrade, version 4.2, for the popular new generation Victor
Reader Stream portable digital talking book player.
"The Victor Reader Stream is HumanWare's most popular
product, and we are pleased to offer our customers exciting and useful new
capabilities with this software upgrade," says Matthew Janusauskas,
Technical Product Manager for Victor Reader products. "We have added
enriched media choices for avid Stream users, from important sources like
the National Federation of the Blind and Bookshare®, as well as support for
Microsoft® Windows Media®."
NFB-NEWSLINE®, a service of the National Federation
of the Blind, offers 327 national and local newspapers and 40 magazines to
its more than 100,000 users. Stream owners can enter their account
information directly on the Stream and begin receiving their favorite
newspapers and magazines wirelessly without a PC or telephone. Stream
automatically synchronizes with NFB-NEWSLINE and maintains the same issues
of publications that are found on the server, which usually includes today's
edition, yesterday's edition and the previous Sunday edition for newspapers
and the latest 2 editions for magazines.
Bookshare® has more than 200,000 books available for
its 260,000 members, and the Stream will now be able to search the entire
Bookshare online library, provide wireless book downloads, and automatically
unpack and decrypt downloads using the member's account credentials.
"HumanWare has had a long and successful affiliation
with the NFB and with Bookshare, so we are happy that we can continue to
have a close relationship with these fine organizations with our products
and their content, to the benefit of our mutual customers" remarked Gilles
Pepin, CEO of HumanWare.
Version 4.2 is a free download for Stream customers,
and can be installed automatically over a wireless connection, downloaded
from HumanWare's web site or installed by using the free HumanWare Companion
PC software application.
"We are thrilled that access to NFB-NEWSLINE®
content is now integrated into Victor Reader Stream, making it easier than
ever for our subscribers to download and read their favorite content with
this groundbreaking device," said Dr. Marc Maurer, President of the National
Federation of the Blind. "We have a wonderful working relationship with
HumanWare and look forward to continuing to work with the company to make
the ever-expanding selection of NFB-NEWSLINE® content available through its
products."
"The ability to search, download, and read books
wirelessly on the Stream will greatly improve the ease and reading
experience for Bookshare members. We applaud this update and look forward to
serving many happy Stream users." added Betsy Beaumon, VP and General
Manager of Global Literacy at Benetech.
