[BlindTlk] OK NFBW reader problems

Thu Aug 6 02:07:29 UTC 2020

Thank you very much for your information! Could you send me a direct link to more information about this? That way I can find out more information and share it with others. Though I am Low Vision it’s so much easier to have stuff read to you. Some days print reading isn’t such a big deal even with magnifiers and enlargement technology and then there are days where nothing works and it gives you a headache. Not having access to Braille technology because of cost, I really appreciate what you’re doing and with some seniors I work with I might be able to help their lives be better to. Seniors in assisted living centers are now coming to us with iPhones.

Thank you again!

Ericka Nelson
