<P><FONT SIZE=2>Over the coming weeks, NPR Labs will begin testing Radio Reading Service broadcasts to ensure that transmission quality remains acceptable during the transition to digital radio. We will be testing individuals who are either blind or have profound vision loss. We are particularly interested in hearing from individuals who have listened to radio reading services in the past, or who currently listen to radio reading services. Male and female participants above the age of 18 are welcome. We will be able to test 2 people at once, so if anyone would like to come with a friend, we can accommodate you! The test should last approximately 2 hours and will be held at National Public Radio’s headquarters located in Northwest Washington D.C. Each participant will receive $50 for his/her participation. If you would like more information, or would like to participate, please contact Dan Schwab at 202-513-2466 or by email at dschwab@npr.org. <BR>
