[Nfbf-l] Video Description Focus Group at National Convention

[Lenora J. Marten]

Hi everyone,

Please find info below concerning a Video-Description focus group during National Convention. They are looking for two sighed parents to volunteer.

Parents attending NFB National Convention: We have been requested by NOPBC to help NFB by participating in a video description focus group on Monday, July 1, from 10am - 12noon. Their board members cannot help with this activity as it conflicts with the NOPBC seminars. They are asking for two sighted parents to volunteer in this wonderful opportunity.

Description: "This is an opportunity for sighted amateur describers to evaluate YouDescribeSmith-Kettlewell's new Web-based video-description tool for YouTube. Participants will test the system by recording their own descriptions for selected videos and report on their experience. For more information or to volunteer, please e-mail Beth Braun at bbraun at nfb.org or call 410-659-9314 extension 2369"

Or, you may contact Carol Castellano at carol_castellano at verizon.net
