> NFB-NEWSLINE? so that our subscribers can more

> digital talking book player (such as the Victor

> subscriber?s choice to his or her portable
> digital talking book player (such as the Victor

> Braille+). Through this revolutionary initiative
> subscribers can gain easy and immediate access to
> their favorite publications and enjoy the reading
> experience that is offered with a DAISY-reading device.
>
>
>
> Podable News
> Podable News provides publication content in an
> audio format so that subscribers can use an Ipod
> or other MP3-playing device to access their
> favorite newspapers and magazines. Also, with
> Podable News, you now have the ability to create
> your own "paper." If you like to read USA
> Today's sports coverage, but prefer the Wall
> Street Journal's technology reporting, and you
> never miss The New Yorker's Shouts and Murmurs
> column, you'll really appreciate NFB-NEWSLINE?'s
> innovative functionality using your MP3-playing device.
>
> KeyStream
> This initiative streams NFB-NEWSLINE? publication
> content over the Internet, allowing for the same
> usability and flexibility as the traditional,
> phone-based service, but is accessed with your
> computer. KeyStream is quite easy to use, even
> for those with very little computer experience.
