<p class="MsoNormal"><font face="Arial" size="2"><span style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: Arial">Do you need extra cash for the
holidays? Do you read Braille? <span class="apple-style-span">Towson</span><span class="apple-style-span"> University</span><span class="apple-style-span"> and National Public Radio are conducting research that
will help design a new product - a Radio Brailler - that will be used by blind
and deaf-blind consumers to access radio news and emergency alerts. We are
looking for blind and low-vision people who are able to read Braille fluently
and comfortably. You will read six short NPR stories on a refreshable Braille
display and answer questions about the stories. The Refreshable Braille Display
will be provided at the session. Even if you've never read on a Braille
display, you can participate – we'll provide a short training session in the
beginning if you need it. You will be with us for 2 - 2.5 hours and receive
$50 for your time. You will also be asked your opinion of a new Radio Reading
Service Radio that we are developing. The session will take place at Nation
Public Radio headquarters near Chinatown, in Washington DC
the week of Dec 13-17, scheduled to your convenience. To find out more, or
schedule a session, call Sam Goldman at NPR at 202 513 2470, or email at
