[Nfb-history] Walking Alone and Marching Together Now Online asMP3Audio

[Morman, Ed]

Peter Donahue asks:

Returning to WAMT for a few seconds the thing that surprises me unless 
Ed is  working on this it would be appropriate to include both Text and 
Audio links on that page giving visitors the choice of reading the text
or 
hearing the audio without having to access the WAMT text files from one
area 
of the Web site and the audio version from another. Ed do you know if
there 
are plans to do this?

Ed Morman replies:

Thanks for bringing this up, Peter.  It's a good point.  I will bring
this to the attention of the decision-makers here at the Jernigan
Institute.

Some of you may remember ordering Walking Alone and Marching Together,
the 
history of our first 50 years, on tape in the 1990's. You may remember
that 
the tape box was quite bulky, at least, if you got the NFB version with
the 
original speeches mixed in.

The text of this major historical publication has been online, but until

recently, it was only up as text. That meant you either needed to be at
your 
computer or you needed a Braille Note or other portable unit that could 
handle web pages, and if you wanted audio, you had to either stick with
your 
tape player or make due with the voices provided by your screen reader.

Many of you probably have either a Victor Reader Stream, Book Sense, or 
Plextalk Pocket, and some high capacity SD cards. If that's true for
you, 
REJOYCE! This major historical book is FINALLY now up in mp3 audio, and
you 
get good narration, along with the original speeches.

Thanks, and enjoy.
