Introducing Victor Reader Stratus: the simplest<br>
and most user-friendly DAISY player<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
Longueuil, May 5, 2011 – HumanWare is pleased to introduce the Victor Reader
Stratus, an exciting new family of desktop DAISY CD players that will replace
the popular Victor Reader ClassicX line.<br>
<br>
The Stratus is the evolution of HumanWare’s 13 years experience developing
simple, easy to use audio book players. Compared to its predecessor, the VR
ClassicX, the VR Stratus comes with a new look enclosure that is smaller and
lighter on the outside yet smarter and better sounding on the inside.<br>
<br>
†The Stratus continues to be the simplest and most user-friendly digital book
player on the market but now with more choices than ever†, says Gerry
Chevalier, Victor<br>
<br>
[<a

<br>
<br>
Reader Brand Manager. “The basic Stratus model plays only CDs but there is
also an advanced multimedia model that will also play SD cards, USB flash
drives, and it includes Acapela text-to-speech. And that's not all, says
Chevalier. We have given the Stratus a smart new look, improved the quality of
the audio, improved the battery system, added a talking clock, and now every
Stratus can play data DVDs in addition to CDs.†[<a

<br>
<br>
All Stratus models feature large, tactile, high-contrast keys, a built-in
speaker or headphone, and self-voicing controls. You can take Stratus anywhere
with its comfortable carrying handle and rechargeable and replaceable battery.
Do you like to go to bed with your favorite book? The Stratus Sleep timer lets
you specify how long Stratus should play before it shuts off.<br>
<br>
Choose a basic 4-arrow keypad or the advanced 12-key<br>
<br>
<br>
telephone style number for navigation in highly structured books. A removable
keypad cover is also available. It hides all but the most essential keys to
simulate a traditional cassette player.<br>
<br>
With Victor Reader Stratus, HumanWare once again brings unparalleled access to
DAISY books, recorded commercial books, music, and computer documents. Whether
you are young or young at heart, whether your reading needs are simple or
complex, whether you are at work, school, or at home, there is a Victor Reader
Stratus that will fit your needs.<br>
