Tek Talk Offers an introduction to Blio, the new touchstone in accessible e-book reading for everyone, Monday, March 21, 2011

The Accessible World News Wire, Indianapolis, Indiana USA

Tek Talk Provides an opportunity to learn more about the exploding world of e-books and the especially exciting e-book reader called Blio recently released by K-NFB Reading Technology Monday, March 21, 2011

As publishing of books around the world moves from ink on paper to digital bits and bytes, the opportunity is at hand for all books to become automatically and readily accessible to the blind as well.  Several new systems designed to make books available on computers have been released and more are coming, but Blio stands out among them as providing a dynamic and accessible presentation of e-books to everyone.  Therefore, during this week's Tek Talk event, James Gashel, Vice President of Business Development at K-NFB Reading Technology will demonstrate how Blio works and explain how this technology is making millions of books readily available on computers right now and mobile devices soon to come.  Tired of waiting for books to be reproduced or transcribed in to accessible formats?  Join us and learn how Blio gives blind people equal access in the mainstream world of books.  Access to newspapers and magazines will also evolve as Blio expands in use throughout the world of printed media.  Following the presentation, there will be plenty of time for questions from the virtual audience.
