Hi Everyone,
There is a wonderful free service for blind people, and all you need is a
telephone line and a fax machine. You can fax any document, whether it's
a handwritten letter, or a recipe, whatever, and a volunteer will call you
back and read it to you. You can either go to the website, or you can
call a toll-free number to hear the website's information.
IMPORTANT: When faxing, the first page must be a cover page that contains
your first name, plus a voice callback number.
It is a free service but donations are accepted. (For those of you who
receive The This Is True publication, you'll be reading about this service
on Friday. If you are a premium subscriber, it's in last night's issue.)
Each of the words in the web address has the intial letter capitalized,
even the word "To". The web address is:
http://www.ReadThisToMe.org
The audio version of the website is: (877) 333-8847
To fax a document, it's the same number, except the final digit is an 8:
(877) 333-8848.
This is wonderful for those who do not have an Optacon or a scanner, or
for those documents that simply cannot be read with an Optacon or a
scanner. This service is only available in the US because the volunteers
call back at their own expense.
Take care.
