The Humanware Third Generation Victor Reader Stream with Lab Computers’ Aaron Linson
In this episode of the Life After Blindness podcast, I’m joined by my friend Aaron Linson from Lab Computers to talk about the all-new Victor Reader Stream 3rd Generation from HumanWare.
Aaron’s spent some quality time testing out the device, and in this episode, we break down what’s new, what’s improved, and why a lot of people in the blind and visually impaired community still love using a dedicated device like this — even with smartphones offering so many options these days.
WHAT WE TALK ABOUT
The evolution of the Victor Reader Stream through the years
New button layout and improved tactile feedback
Better Wi-Fi (5 GHz!) and smoother downloads and streaming
Internal memory plus SD card support up to 1 TB
Separate mic and headphone jacks, USB-C charging, and a louder speaker
File support for DAISY, MP3, EPUB, NLS BARD, Bookshare, podcasts, and more
New voice options and updated navigation menus
Battery life (up to 15 hours) and lightweight, portable design
Why this kind of standalone device still makes sense, especially when smartphone apps crash, update unexpectedly, or drain your battery
