<DIV class=gmail_quote><BR>You are correct, but the program has not yet
launched. If you are ffamiliar with the iBill second generation, then you are
already familiar with what will be distributed. Here's the info direct from the
press release posted on the US. Bureau of Engraving and Printing's
website.<BR><BR>"BEP Announces U.S. Currency Reader Program for Blind and
Visually Impaired<BR>Orlando, FL – The Bureau of Engraving and Printing (BEP)
revealed today its plans to distribute currency reader devices at no cost to
eligible blind or visually impaired persons, as one component of its initiative
to provide meaningful access to Federal Reserve notes (U.S. currency). Program
details were presented at the National Federation of the Blind’s (NFB) Board of
Directors meeting and annual convention by the Senior Advisor to the BEP’s
Director, Dawn R. Haley, in Orlando, Florida.<BR>Haley signaled the U.S.
Currency Reader Program kick-off by announcing that currency readers would be
distributed to eligible attendees at the July and August summer conventions of
the National Federation of the Blind, American Council of the Blind (ACB), and
Blinded Veterans of America (BVA), followed by a broader launch of the program
in two phases:<BR>Pilot: Beginning September 2, 2014, in partnership with the
Library of Congress National Library Service for the Blind and Physically
Handicapped (NLS) the BEP will initiate a four-month pilot where NLS patrons can
pre-order a currency reader. The pilot program allows the government to test its
ordering and distribution processes and gauge demand for currency
readers.<BR>National Rollout: Currency readers will be widely available to all
U.S. citizens, or persons legally residing in the U.S. who are blind or visually
impaired, starting January 2, 2015. Individuals who are not NLS patrons must
submit an application, signed by a competent authority who can certify
eligibility, to request a currency reader.<BR>“The BEP has participated at the
summer conventions for a number of years now,” Haley said. “We are excited to
introduce our currency reader program plans here at this venue and to provide
currency readers to interested conference participants here and at the other
conventions as well.”<BR>Through a national network of cooperating libraries,
NLS administers a free library program that circulates braille and audio
materials to approximately 400,000 eligible borrowers in the United States. “The
fact that we already have a process in place to provide reading materials to
individuals who are blind or visually impaired made our partnership with the BEP
a natural fit,” explained Isabella Marques de Castilla, NLS Deputy Director.
“Our role in the U.S. Currency Reader Program will be to process orders and
distribute currency reader devices to eligible individuals.”<BR>In 2011, the BEP
introduced EyeNote®, an app that scans and identifies note images on mobile
devices operating on the Apple iOS platform. A similar app for Android phones,
the IDEAL Currency Reader ® was developed through collaboration with the
Department of Education.<BR>Individuals interested in applying for a currency
reader device or learning more about BEP’s meaningful access program can visit
