Hi, Everyone!

 

The following information came to me from the Blind Cooks NFBNet email list.
I thought it was worth sharing. Enjoy!

Cheers,

Susan

 

 

 

How many times have you been standing in your kitchen with a box of cake mix
with no way of reading the preparation directions?

 

You have probably experienced this dilemma at some point in your life, but
now the wait for accessible directions is finally over! No longer will you
have to struggle with scanning boxes and cans or magnifying tiny print on
those non-prescription medicine bottles.

 

        Horizons for the Blind is proud to announce Directions For Me; a
website featuring preparation directions, nutrition facts, warnings,
ingredients and other important information in an easy to use and accessible
format.

 

Our database contains over 300,000 products in three categories - Food,
Health & Beauty, and Other. Each of these categories has sub-listings that
organize products like aisles in a grocery store. 

You can also go to the search bar and type in the name of the product you
are looking for.

 

Directions For Me was designed to be completely accessible with screen
readers and magnifiers as well as web-enabled note takers and cell phones.
Unlike manufacturer's websites, we present this information in a simple and
consistent format and eliminate features that hinder accessibility.

 

        With Directions for Me, there's no more guessing on what you are
putting into your body, no more gambling on cooking times and best of all,
no more waiting for sighted assistance!
