[nfb-db] newsline

Hello I'm responding to the newsline.  I've never taken  the time to learn 
how to use it.  I thought you had to get approved.   I understand that you 
can use Newsline online.  Could you please tell us  how to use it?  
 
Blessings,
 
Cheri Fields

Thanks for asking.

No, I cannot use Newsline. I  have two major problems with it. With my 
hearing loss I use context a lot to  figure out what is being said, and article 
titles/headlines have no context.  My other problem is the speech speed -- 
it's too fast for me, and from what I  can tell, it's really only adjustable 
in an article and in other limited  situations. 

As a result, I use radio and TV news, which I have been  able to understand 
since I got my two Cochlear Implants.

 accessing that particular service. We want to find out how many people  
 could usually use it effectively.thanks.
