FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE.
NFB-NEWSLINE Mobile 3.0 with KNFB Reader Basic Released

Free iOS App Now Available

The National Federation of the Blind has released version 3.0 of 
NFB-NEWSLINE Mobile to the Apple App Store. The brand new, redesigned app 
not only allows subscribers to access all of the content available through 
NFB-NEWSLINE from their iPhone, iPad, or other iOS device, but includes a 
free basic version of the KNFB Reader mobile app. NFB-NEWSLINE Mobile 
includes these features and much more:

KNFB Reader Basic, a free version of KNFB Reader with the core functions 
necessary to quickly scan any printed text - just point, shoot, and read!

The ability to share articles from publications in the breaking news 
category to social media channels.

Multiple customization options to organize, save, and manage both 
NFB-NEWSLINE content and documents scanned with KNFB Reader Basic.

NFB-NEWSLINE Mobile 3.0 is fully accessible with VoiceOver so that users can 
hear content read aloud or read it in Braille with a connected refreshable 
Braille display or notetaker, making the app ideal for blind and deafblind 
users.

"We are pleased and proud that NFB-NEWSLINE Mobile 3.0 - a technology 
solution created by blind people for blind people - is now a one-stop 
destination for access to all kinds of information, including printed text," 
said Mark Riccobono, President of the National Federation of the Blind. 
"Having instant access to the information we need wherever we go helps all 
blind and deafblind people live the lives we want."

David DeNotaris, who participated in beta testing of the app, said: "As a 
husband/father, entrepreneur and elected school board director, access to 
print information is crucial! NFB-NEWSLINE provides me with fast, reliable 
and accessible local, state, national and international breaking news and 
information at my fingertips! At a recent school board meeting, a document 
was distributed in print with updated guidance that needed to be considered 
prior to a vote later in the evening. I used my NFB-NEWSLINE app to quickly 
and discreetly snap a picture and listen to the document through my earbuds, 
take some notes, ask questions and make an informed decision. NFB-NEWSLINE 
helps me stay connected, empowering me to contribute on our local school 
board and compete in our global economy, allowing me to fit in, not sit out. 
Thank you NFB-NEWSLINE team, you are #DifferenceMakers!"
