"Read This To Me" is a free reading service for
the blind, powered by volunteers and Internet
collaboration.
<http://www.readthistome.org/>http://www.readthistome.org/
"Read This To Me" allows blind and low-vision people
to have printed documents read to them over the
phone. All the blind person needs is a phone line and
a fax machine (no computer is required.)
Here's how it works:
1. The blind person (whom we'll call the "client") faxes
the document to be read to the "ReadThisToMe" toll-free
fax number: 1-877-333-8848. The first page of the fax
needs to be a cover page that includes the client's first
name and callback (voice) phone number. The document
itself can be just about anything: a handwritten letter, a
bill, a label from a can of food, a multi-page magazine article -- just
about anything that can be faxed.
2. One of ReadThisToMe's volunteer readers will call
the client back and read the document.
3. That's it!
The service is available throughout the U.S.
An audio version of this information is available by dialing
1-877-333-8847.
