to my Favorites list!

Here is a web site that you might want to share with your members.
Welcome to directions for me TM , your one stop source for accessible
packaging information. Directions provides the information that's on consumer
packages
or labels in a simple online format for anyone who has trouble reading the
small print including people who are blind or visually impaired.
This site provides a consistent, quality source of complete packaging
information for everything from preparation or cooking instructions to
ingredient
lists to Nutrition and Drug Facts labels for many common grocery, health and
beauty and general merchandise products. In addition, it also provides,
potentially
life-saving, allergy and drug interaction warnings.
For those watching their carbohydrates (carbs), fat, sodium or cholesterol
intake, Directions provides a user-friendly way to get access to this
information.
Gaining comprehensive access will foster self sufficiency and allow you to
lead a more healthy and independent life.
directions for me TM was designed to be completely accessible with
text-to-speech screen readersmagnifiers and braille displays as well as
web-enabled
cell phones. This information is presented in a uniform, easy-to-use format
and eliminates features that hinder accessibility.
Regardless of the product or brand, all packaging information is formatted
and displayed the same way. Users will be able to access this data exactly the
same way, every time and will no longer have to search a variety of sites
with different formats and varying levels of accessibility. The site remains
current by utilizing a database that is continually added to and updated.
Horizons is very excited about directions for me TM and the possibilities it
holds. We hope that you enjoy the site and find it useful. Please spread the
word about this important service and come back often as we are continually
updating and improving Directions.
