Do you read Braille? TowsonUniversityand National Public Radio are conducting research that will help design a new product - a Radio Brailler - that will be used by blind and deaf-blind consumers to access radio news and emergency alerts. We are looking for blind and low-vision people who are able to read Braille fluently and comfortably. You will read six short NPR stories on a refreshable Braille display and answer questions about the stories. The Refreshable Braille Display will be provided at the session. Even if you've never read on a Braille display, you can participate ? we'll provide a short training session in the beginning if you need it. You will be with us for 2 - 2.5 hours and receive $50 for your time. You will also be asked your opinion of a new Radio Reading Service Radio that we are developing. The session will take place at Nation Public Radio headquarters near Chinatown, in Washington DC the week of Dec 13-17, scheduled to your convenience. To find out more, or schedule a session, call Sam Goldman at NPR at 202 513 2470, or email at sgoldman at npr.org.
