Version 1.3 for the Stream 3 is now available! We’re excited to introduce the latest software updates for the Victor Reader Stream, bringing you new features and exciting functional updates. Audible? Absolutely! We are very happy to announce the availability of Audible on the Stream 3! Thanks to a collaborative effort with the great people at Amazon, you can now read Audible books on your Stream 3. Furthermore, device activation is now stored in the internal memory of the player instead of the SD card, so you no longer need to activate every SD card. If you already have Audible books on an SD card, simply activating your player will allow you to read them. Note that books for Audible can now be downloaded to internal memory, but can still be moved to the SD card by pressing the “3” key. Note that you will need to update your AudibleSync software to version 1.8.16 or above so it can see the Stream. Exciting features added! You asked - we delivered! We’ve made several notable changes that we think you’ll appreciate. Alphabetical order on bookshelves Your books will now be organized alphabetically on all the bookshelves – so no more scrambling around to find a particular title in your collection! Faster SD card load We’ve implemented some optimizations in the indexation of the SD card that now makes it much faster to load. The bigger the card, the more significant the improvement. Try it out! Suspend mode Enable this option in the General Settings to turn the Power button into a Suspend button. Suspending the device will result in less battery usage than when turned on, and it can be woken up much faster. If you want to shut down completely, an option is available at the end of the settings menu when Suspend mode is enabled. Audio decoder update We’ve updated the audio decoder in the Stream. This means that a few stations that didn’t work with the previous version will now work, especially in the TuneIn bookshelf. Acapela voice update and new voices We’ve updated the TTS voices to the latest version of Acapela. This allows us to offer additional voices, and the quality of the existing voices has been enhanced. IMPORTANT: If you have already downloaded different voices, you will be reverted to the default voices and will have to download them again. Try them out! Let us know what you think! |
