Recorders” webinar on Tuesday, July 28, from 2:00 to 3:30 p.m., Eastern,

offer powerful features for serious audio work, and provide menu
accessibility that sets them apart from many other high-quality portable
recorders. Whether you record interviews, music, training sessions, nature
and ambient sounds, or podcasts, Zoom Handy Recorders give blind users a
flexible and accessible way to capture high-quality audio with confidence.

*Texas v. Kennedy Update:*

Congratulations to the NFB of Missouri for persuading their attorney
general to withdraw from the Texas v. Kennedy lawsuit. Missouri is the
fourth state to withdraw, meaning that half of the states involved in
support of Texas in the amended lawsuit have officially withdrawn from the
suit. We hope that more states will follow as we know that Missouri loves
company.



*Congressional August Recess:*

The United States House of Representatives goes on its annual August recess
beginning at the end of this week. The Senate recess will begin on August
10. During the recess is a great time to schedule in-district meetings, or
to invite your representative/senator to speak at one of your chapter
meetings.



*NFB-NEWSLINE Improvements:*

The latest NFB-NEWSLINE® iOS app includes significant accessibility,
reading, and navigation improvements. VoiceOver now returns to the last
selected article, and iPad users can choose either the full iPad layout or
the familiar iPhone-style layout. Article formatting, TV listings, channel
navigation, and the Share Sheet have also been improved. Hundreds of new
magazines, including back issues for many titles, are now available on both
iOS and Android. For more information, contact Jack Mendez at
jmendez at nfb.org.



Warmly,
