Audible audiobooks will be supported on the new Victor Reader Stream

HumanWare Solidifies Partnership with Audible.com to Deliver Audio Books to the Visually Impaired Community

March 25, 2013 — HumanWare announced today that Audible audiobooks will be supported on the new Victor Reader Stream. The new version of the popular Stream media player for the visually impaired was announced on January 29th. HumanWare has partnered with Audible for over five years, enabling customers to enjoy access to content from Audible from several HumanWare devices, including the Stream, BrailleNote Apex and ClassMate Reader.

"The Victor Reader Stream has tremendously loyal and enthusiastic customers, a large proportion of whom are also loyal Audible.com customers, owing to Audible's vast selection of audiobooks and high quality of compressed audio files," says Chris Bender, Director of Product Strategy at HumanWare. "The Stream's ability to play Audible 4 and Audible Enhanced Audio encoded files will allow our mutual customers to continue enjoying Audible content for years to come".

The new Stream began shipping on February 28, and a software update allowing the player to play Audible.com content is planned for release in late April*. For customers with access to a wireless router, software updates can now be downloaded directly to the new Stream using its convenient wireless access feature.

* Release dates are subject to change without notice.
