Sorry to disagree Matthew and I fully respect your right even obligation to

defend your product. I may even buy one as well as the Hinns once things are ironed out. However I am a observer on the list and have heard of multiple issue. These are not minor. The inability of the Stream to continue playing text content for more than half an hour without being plugged in and crashing off has been reported by multiple contributors and is particularly serious, especially as you then have apparently to not just turn the Stream back on but re-trawl through all the text content to relocate where you are. I won't check back through all the posts but I remember Difficulties in importing Internet Radio playlist as from memory has problems about recompiling Podcast lists from opml files from other victor devices. I cannot quote all the other issues reported but these are the ones which spring to mind. I really hope that all this is ironed out and I have supported Victor Reader products for years on other list but I am surprised that bugs of this kind were not detected before release and it does really smack to me of a rush to release without proper quality control and testing to make sure these issues did not arise on release. Fore example, did nobody try reading a text based book for more than half an hour on battery to detect the crash bug? David Griffith -----Original Message-----
From: [email protected] <[email protected]> On Behalf Of Mathieu Sent: Monday, March 27, 2023 12:17 AM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [dap-uk] Hinns Daisy/Media SensePlayer Hi David, While it is true that there are a few bugs with the Stream 3, I wouldn't say "crammed with bugs". There are a few rough edges, and we're working on smoothing them out. I can tell you that the release date of the Stream 3 was decided before HIMS announced their player. It was not a factor, nor did it "rush" anything on our end. I just came back from CSUN last week and I saw the HIMS player, it does seem like a nifty little machine. It has pros and cons, just like the Victor does. At that point, it becomes a matter of user preference! The Stream 3 is not out in the UK yet, indeed, it was launched only in the US. The worldwide release will be done in April. For your info, we're also working with RNIB for support later this year. Audible and BBC Sounds is also being worked on. I actually have a meeting with the BBC scheduled tomorrow! Thank you.

COURRIEL EXTERNE - Attention aux pi¨¨ces jointes et aux liens cliquables. I have pre-ordered the new SensePlayer from Hinns. Although I have not received mine I have heard that some have received it already? From reading on the Victor Reader lists the panic induced by the release of the Hinns SensePlayer has caused a bit of a dogs dinner with the early release of the victor Rader 3 Firmware which seems crammed with bugs and not really fit for release. Still it is not even being advertised on the HumanWare UK site when I checked last night. Only the Stream 2 and trek were purchased options. Anyway has anybody received the SensePlayer yet and got any first impressions? I am looking forward to being able to use VoiceDream Reader via smart connect from my iPhone in addition to the player capabilities. Apparently both BBC Sounds and Audible will be added as app op[options in the summer as these bespoke apps will b ported across from the Braille Sense where apparently they already work.
