Hi Jason;

The Victor Reader Stream is manufactured by HumanWare.

It can also be purchased from Humanware by going to:

www.humanware.com

If you search the web you can probably find it at a lower price from any of 
the local venders who sell and distribute products for the blind and 
visually impaired.
