The Talking Information Center is a non-profit reading service that 
broadcasts newspapers,magazines, books, and special consumer 
information 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, to visually impaired and 
print impaired listeners.

Their volunteers read selections from the Boston Globe, USA Today, Wall 
Street Journal, Boston Herald, the Washington Post and the New York 
times, and have special shows including Science Hour, Spanish News, 
Pets, Diabetes Update, Book Hour, Business, and local Massachusetts 
community news.

John Shea of the Talking Information Center interviewed me about 2 
years ago, and I met him again was at a recent event, and he invited me 
back to the show entitled Mission Possible.

We talked about how I got started with these games, how the games are 
built, and what new games are coming.

of 500 audio clips, varying from 5 to 30 seconds long, and then you 
record yourself speaking a greeting. The app combines both audio clips, 
and adds an 8 second promotion for Blindfold Greeting Card, and stores 
it at a website.

To send your e-card via text, just push the text message button, and 
enter your friend’s phone number, and off it goes. When your friend 
gets the text message, she taps the weblink in the message, and hears 
your card.

It’s great for a blind person to send to a sighted person, so the 
sighted person can appreciate the card in the same medium that it was 
created it in. It’s far better than sending an video e-card with a 
description that says “cute puppy under a tree”. Likew...
