HumanWare Launches Victor Reader Stream CD Edition

Longueuil, Quebec, March 4, 2010 - HumanWare is 
pleased to announce a new model of its popular 
Victor Reader Stream portable DAISY, MP3 player 
and voice recorder. Victor Reader Stream CD 
Edition combines the worldwide renowned VR Stream 
and a special CD player accessory.

Stream CD Edition is perfect for people who do 
not have a personal computer. It is the easiest 
way to transfer a DAISY book on CD onto one 
single, portable audio playback device without the use of a computer.

“We have heard from many people who like the 
portability of the Victor Reader Stream but who 
do not use computers”, says Gerry Chevalier, 
Victor Reader Product Manager at HumanWare. 
“These are customers who receive DAISY CD books 
in the mail from their library. They tell us they 
would like to be able to transfer their CD book 
to the Stream because the Stream would be an 
ideal player when they are travelling or on the 
go. However, they also tell us they do not have 
or want to use a computer. With the Stream CD 
Edition we are now pleased to offer them a solution.”

Key Benefits:
    * Ideal for readers who listen to DAISY CD books and do not use a computer
    * Easy to use. Just attach the CD drive to 
the Stream, load the CD book, and press a single 
button to copy it to the Stream
    * A short Getting Started audio book explains 
the steps and plays automatically when you power on the Stream CD Edition.
    * The Stream CD Edition has the full feature 
set of the standard Stream so if users want to go 
beyond just listening to their DAISY CD books 
they can enjoy other types of books and music and 
even use the voice recorder. All documentation 
and tutorials are supplied on the SD card.

What's in the package?
    * One VR Stream with all the usual 
accessories (rechargeable battery & charger, ear 
buds, USB cables, documentation CD and a 2Gb SD card)
    * One VR Stream CD player Accessory 
especially designed to be used with the Stream

The CD player accessory is also available for 
purchase by existing Stream users who may not 
have a computer and are relying on others to 
transfer their CD DAISY books. Only the CD player 
supplied by HumanWare should be used as other CD 
drives have been found not to be electrically 
compatible and can damage the Stream.
