*Hello,*

*What is Menus4ALL? Well, let me introduce you to the newest service
available for those in the blind and visually impaired community.*

<https://youtu.be/wnA24esqWpc>

*My name is Stephanie Jones and 13 years ago when I lost my sight, I did
not realize all the small things in my life that would change. Even though
I completed my rehabilitation services and began to work in the field of
vision rehab, there are some things that are still problematic, such as
reading a restaurant menu independently.*

*Yes, I can use OCR apps to capture the text and have it read back to me.
But by the time I do this, my colleagues are already ready to order. I can
get someone to read me the menu, but the waitress has to come back several
times and by the third time I'm ready to order anything to stop this
ordeal. I don’t trust asking for a braille menu as many people do not know
what this is, if there is one available, when it was last updated or if it
includes pricing. Let’s not forget the fun of navigating an inaccessible
restaurant website.*

*Of course, those of us in this predicament have our favorites or familiar
restaurants – but how many chicken fingers and french fry meals can one
person really eat? Not to mention, that I might order something different
and new if I just knew it was available on the menu.*

*Menus4ALL is the solution to this common problem. We are a website
comprised of 50,000 restaurant menus in 12,000 cities across the United
States. We offer the nation’s largest collection of accessible restaurant
menus. We are a website, so anybody with a data connection can access our
service.*

*This means that if you were sitting at home planning a trip out you can
check out the choices before-hand.*

*If you are already at the restaurant in need of access to the menu, just
pull out your phone and go for it.*

*Hungry at your desk, pull it up from your desktop or laptop computer
anywhere.*

*All menus are formatted the same, complete with pricing and descriptions
of the items. Plus, there are features for all types of visual conditions.*

*If you have low vision, the site offers larger text, color filters, and
speech built right in.*

*If you are a screen reader, then the website works perfectly with the
screen reader using features such as headings for navigational purposes.*

*Of course, what about braille? By pairing a refreshable braille display to
your device, you instantly have a complete braille menu at your fingertips.*

*Menus4ALL is an innovative new company founded by Helen Fernety. Helen
works in the accessibility field and has seen the need to create solutions
for a community that is often left out.*

*You are receiving this introductory email because you and/or your
organization are leaders in the field of vision rehab. For those of us in
this field, we have the privilege of teaching our students and clients
every day how to live their best life. So now, whether going out to lunch
with colleagues or hanging out with friends and family, and social events
involving restaurants, access to a restaurant menu is no longer a barrier.*

*Below is the Menus4ALL website address and a quick training video that you
can share with clients, students, and colleagues to understand how to use
the simple Menus4ALL service. And did I mention, the service is completely
free to use. So, get out of your office, out of the house, choose a menu
and have fun!*
