Humanware has just announce that the new version of the Victor Stream will support rtf and brf files. This is great news for those of us who like to validate without being chained to a desk. This makes volunteering easier and more portable. Braille users will benefit because they no longer have to get the daisy version of Bookshare titles to read them on the Stream. Now the Stream has become worth investing in from my point of view. I had clung to my Book Port because of its rtf and brf support. The Stream has now surpassed the old Book Port because it can handle both NLS books as well as fully supporting everything volunteers do with Bookshare. For those of you are already using the Stream, you should be able to get the update next week. Happy reading everyone.
