"The First Generation Stream is no longer supported. Therefore, the SoftPak is no longer available." Very disappointed to learn that #Humanware don't consider their past customers. The least they could have done was keep the SoftPak available for purchase, or even free of charge if they had no intention of supporting past hardware monitarily anymore. There's a difference between continuing to develop old parts and simply keeping software packages around. #Accessibility #A11Y #Blind

I have the first generation #VicterReaderStream. Does anyone remember the optional Soft Pack Addon you could purchase for additional features? If it's still available somewhere, I'd like to get my hands on it. On first glance it's on the #Humanware website, but the page only says Victer Reader Stream Soft Pack, then 2 unlabeled links that say window.close(); that do nothing when clicked, and their copyright information below that. #Accessibility #A11Y #Blind

Well, the #Stream three is really buggy. Trying to play an audiobook that is split into several M4B files and despite having navigation set to 1 minute it insists on jumping a whole file every time I press four or six surely someone at #humanware would have spotted this before shipping, very disappointing. Anyone else noticing similar?

With the imminent demise of #Soundscape, I’m looking for alternatives. I had a demo of the Stellar Trek by #Humanware today. It’s quite impressive, with some very good features. A rather bewildering array of button presses to get used to, but that’s the same for all tech. Big problem is that it doesn’t recognise the network of pedestrian footpaths in my home town, so I can’t justify the considerable expense of buying one. Shame.
