HANDS-ON USE OF
NON-VISUAL TECHNOLOGY

Come join members of the National Federation of the Blind on September 29 to 
learn how to find information about reading, voting, shopping, travel and 
other necessities even if you can't see it.
Is your vision loss preventing you from obtaining the information you need 
to live and work independently?
Do you believe you could learn to operate devices without vision, if only 
there was someone to teach you?
Do you know how to select, download and read talking books from the National 
Library Service and other sources?
Do you have a HumanWare Victor Stream and are not familiar with its many 
features?
Did you know that you can read hundreds of newspapers and magazines on your 
phone or computer by using NFB Newsline?
Did you know that you can use your smartphone to read menus, labels, and 
many other kinds of documents using the KNFB Reader app?
Are you taking advantage of the free or low-cost apps available to help you 
travel and shop?
Are you familiar with the ballot marking device which enables you to vote 
using audio or large print?
Would you like to learn about ways to keep track of your medications?
If you would like to experience these and other new ways of hunting for 
information, then you should  definitely attend the hands-on  technology 
seminar sponsored by the Sligo Creek  Chapter of the National Federation of 
the Blind of Maryland.

WHEN:     Saturday, September 29 from 10:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m.

everything.
