[Electronics-talk] NFB Newsline app now available

[Gabe Vega Via Iphone4S]

I signed up about a week ago, but have not been contacted by anyone. What do I do? Should I email Scott? I am interested in using the newsline app on my iPhone. Thank you.

The text of all publications is available, and also, TV listings.  One of the way cool things about doing the TV listings via the Newsline Mobile app is that unlike using the telephone, one can get spellings for items in a listing.  With respect to publications, that's one of the easiest parts of the app to use.  You can select from your states publications, or, if you wish, all of the publications on Newsline.  YOu can also edit your favorites right from the app also.  Once you've selected a publication and then an issue for it, you can select either a given section or the entire paper.  Either way, the articles are provided at the heading level so moving back and forth between them is really easy.  Going word by word and line by line is a matter of knowing how to navigate according to the standard Voice Over controls.  The tabs for controlling the app are at the bottom of the screen, so, finding the controls could not be easier.  I would, of course, not claim to yet know everything about the app, but, hey, I can tell you this.  For those of us who have an use and love our Iphones, it's a terrific way to help the NFB save money on the Newsline phone bill.  Not to mention which, using the app won't count against your talk minutes.
