<p class=MsoNormal>Hi, Everyone!<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>The following information came to me from the Blind Cooks NFBNet
email list. I thought it was worth sharing. Enjoy!<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>Cheers,<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class=MsoPlainText>How many times have you been standing in your kitchen
with a box of cake mix with no way of reading the preparation directions?<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText>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.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText> 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.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText>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. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText>You can also go to the search bar and type in the name of
the product you are looking for.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText>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.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText> 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!<o:p></o:p></p>
