[Nfbv-announce] NFB-NEWSLINE Wants You to Tell a Friend!

[John Bailey]

August 16, 2016
It's Friendship Week! To celebrate, tell a friend about the vast array of information available on NFB-NEWSLINE! Now including retail ads from Walmart stores! And, tell your friends you no longer need them to read your mail and private documents because KNFB Reader is on sale this week from August 19-21, 2016 for $84.99, 15% off the regular price. You can read mail, menus, signs, classwork assignments, medical reports, and financial documents, and all independently. 

NFB-NEWSLINE has entered a partnership with Walmart to provide their ad content on the service. "Before retail ads came to NFB-NEWSLINE, I had to ask someone to read them to me," shared a NFB-NEWSLINE subscriber from Utah. "For those of us who cannot read retail ads and check sales, saving money is so difficult. I love that I am now able to bargain shop at Walmart just like my sister does."

To reach Walmart retail ads using NFB-NEWSLINE Mobile, choose Retail ads from the home page, and then Walmart Ads. To reach Walmart ads using the telephone access method, choose 6 on the main menu for local store circulars, confirm your location, and then choose 2 for Walmart ads. Walmart ads on NFB-NEWSLINE contain the same information found in the print ads, including product descriptions, and price, all tailored to your location.

Once you've arrived at Walmart, you can use your KNFB Reader to read product labels and price tags while you shop. Using KNFB Reader, you can take a photo and the app reads the print aloud. It has automatic text detection, tilt guidance and a field of view report that helps the blind user get the best photo. The app is also compatible with connected Braille displays. 

Tell a friend about the new Walmart ads on NFB-NEWSLINE, and about making the print yours with KNFB Reader for $84.99 USD from August 19-21, 2016. 

To learn more about KNFB Reader, visit www.knfbreader.com. The app will be available for $84.99 USD from August 19-21, 2016. Available in the iTunes and Google Play stores for iOS and Android.

Make the print yours with KNFB Reader www.nfb.org/knfbreader

The National Federation of the Blind knows that blindness is not the characteristic that defines you or your future. Every day we raise the expectations of blind people, because low expectations create obstacles between blind people and our dreams. You can live the life you want; blindness is not what holds you back.
