SUBJECT:    BARD Express software update released

NLS has released a software update to BARD Express. Version 3.1.2 has been tested with the three latest versions of JAWS and NVDA and includes several improvements:

  *   Items per page, which is found under the View menu, now has a maximum value of 500 to allow for enhanced background system performance.
  *   BARD Express now supports more external storage devices.
  *   The global setting speed in the BARD Express player respects the speed setting of a book that has previously been adjusted.
To download the update, a user who already has BARD Express installed can open the program, open the Help menu, and choose Check For Updates. If, however, BARD Express is not already installed, it can be downloaded from the BARD Express home page<https://www.loc.gov/nls/how-to-enroll/sign-up-for-bard-and-bard-mobile/welcome-to-bard-express/>.
