            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.

You may also purchase SoftPak online from that page or by calling our customer service team toll free at 1-800-722-3393.
