My daughter said she checked out this site and was thrilled! Now she doesn't 
have to buy an expensive bar code reader! We're all about saving money these 
days! Please share the link with your kids.

How many times have you been standing in your kitchen with a box of cake mix 
with no way of reading the preparation directions?

You have probably experienced this dilemma at some point in your life, but 
now the wait for accessible directions is finally over! No longer will you 
have to struggle with scanning boxes and cans or magnifying tiny print on 
those non-prescription medicine bottles.

Horizons for the Blind is proud to announce Directions For Me; a website 
featuring preparation directions, nutrition facts, warnings, ingredients and 
other important information in an easy to use and accessible format.

Our database contains over 300,000 products in three categories - Food, 
Health & Beauty, and Other. Each of these categories has sub-listings that 
organize products like aisles in a grocery store. You can also go to the 
search bar and type in the name of the product you are looking for.

Directions For Me was designed to be completely accessible with screen 
readers and magnifiers as well as web-enabled note takers and cell phones. 
Unlike manufacturer's websites, we present this information in a simple and 
consistent format and eliminate features that hinder accessibility.

With Directions for Me, there's no more guessing on what you are putting 
into your body, no more gambling on cooking times and best of all, no more 
waiting for sighted assistance!
