You asked, and we listened! The latest StellarTrek update brings two powerful new features to enhance your independence and mobility.

Seamlessly integrated book reader

Book reading is back—better than ever! Unlike its predecessor, the Victor Reader Trek, StellarTrek lets you read books while navigating. Stay immersed in text-based books from services like Bookshare while receiving navigation instructions or checking your location with “Where Am I?”. (Note: Human-narrated audiobooks are not supported at launch.)

Pedestrian traffic light detection (beta)

Navigate with confidence! StellarTrek now uses AI to detect pedestrian signals to give you additional information to help you cross the street. Since safety is our top priority, we’re launching this feature in beta to ensure continuous improvements over time.
