The pocket-sized device is Bluetooth connected and features larger and more tactical buttons to navigate with greater ease.
?HumanWare creates truly innovative products that make a significant difference in the daily lives of many individuals who rely on them,? said Rich Stern, CEO of TuneIn. ?At TuneIn, we believe in the power of audio to connect people and enrich lives, and understand the important role this content plays in the visually impaired community. We are very proud to partner with HumanWare to continue to ensure all individuals have access to high-quality listening experiences. ?
?Our mission at HumanWare, for more than 35 years now, was always to bring people with visual impairments the means to be active, enjoy life and contribute to society by using the latest technology,? explains Louis-Philippe Mass?, Vice-President of Product Innovation at HumanWare. ?TuneIn?s mission is completely aligned with ours and we are very proud of working together in bringing high quality audio content to the users of our Victor Reader Stream 3.?
