Attention all Victor Reader Stream Users! (From the NFB-NEWSLINE Team)
HUMANWARE CONGRATULATES NFB FOR THEIR LATEST INNOVATION TO NFB-NEWSLINE SERVICE
[a web version is available at:
http://www.humanware.com/en-canada/about_us/press_releases/2009_press_releases/humanware_congratulates_nfb]
Longueuil, QC, May 6, 2009 -- NFB-NEWSLINE, the largest electronic newspaper
service in the world for the blind and print-disabled, providing free access to
over 280 newspapers and magazines, is pleased to announce the launch of
NFB-NEWSLINE Online (Web site: www.nfbnewslineonline.org). Through
NFB-NEWSLINE Online's breakthrough and innovative features, subscribers can
enjoy both an enhanced experience in reading the news as well as dramatically
increased flexibility in how they choose to access their favorite publication
content. We are now able to provide Victor Reader Stream users (Web site:
www.humanware.com/stream) with full and innovative access to all of our
publications through one new initiative, NFB-NEWSLINE In Your Pocket.
With NFB-NEWSLINE In Your Pocket, users of the Victor Reader Stream can
experience an increased flexibility and functionality with NFB-NEWSLINE and can
more easily and quickly get their news through their digital talking book
player. NFB-NEWSLINE In Your Pocket is a dynamic software application that a
subscriber installs on his or her computer that, through an Internet
connection, automatically downloads the publications of the subscriber's choice
to his or her Stream (the publications will be available in your Talking Books
Library). Through this revolutionary initiative, subscribers can use their
Victor Reader Stream to gain easy and immediate access to their favorite
publications and enjoy the reading experience that is offered with a
DAISY-reading device. NFB-NEWSLINE In Your Pocket dramatically increases both
the content and value of your Victor Reader Stream; why not subscribe today?
For further information about NFB-NEWSLINE In Your Pocket, visit
www.nfbnewslineonline.org and select "NFB-NEWSLINE In Your Pocket."
"HumanWare congratulates NFB for this initiative", says Gerry Chevalier, Victor Reader
Product Manager. "Reading the publications offered by NFB-NEWSLINE is highly valued by the
subscribers of the service, and through this initiative access to those newspapers is now better
than ever for Stream users. We value HumanWare's partnership with the NFB, who has assisted us
through the design process of the Stream, and we also appreciate the tremendous support of the many
NFB members who have purchased Streams and provided valuable feedback."
As well as trying the new NFB-NEWSLINE Online, Stream users will want to be
sure to upgrade their Streams to version 3.0 software. The new software release
provides navigation of multi-level bookshelf folders, the ability to search in
text files including publications offered through NFB-NEWSLINE, a new bookmark
alert feature, and more. To read the 3.0 Release Notes and download the new
software visit: http://www.humanware.com/stream_support
Another new NFB initiative, Web News on Demand, is also now available. Web
News on Demand provides all of NFB-NEWSLINEs traditional features over a
secure, text-only Web site; this initiative affords an enhanced search
capability as well as the ability to e-mail a full newspaper, a section of a
newspaper, or a single article to the subscriber.
For further information about Web News on Demand, visit www.nfbnewslineonline.org and
select "Web News on Demand."
To learn more about NFB-NEWSLINE, please visit www.nfbnewsline.org; if you'd
like to subscribe to the service, you can fill out the online application form,
write to nfbnewsline@xxxxxxx, or call (866) 504-7300. In order to be eligible
for NFB-NEWSLINE an individual must be a US resident who is legally blind or
has a physical or learning disability of such a nature to prohibit the
independent reading of newspapers. Eligibility is not dependent on, or
restricted to, affiliation with any particular consumer or support
organization; the only thing that matters is the inability to read the
newspaper.
If you are already an NFB-NEWSLINE subscriber, you can access these new features today by
visiting www.nfbnewslineonline.org and selecting the "Log On" link; once you've
entered your codes, you'll need to consent to our Terms of Use agreement. You will then
be able to access all of your favorite publications by reading them online or by
downloading them to your digital talking book player.
