> open-house events in our suite to accommodate the
> time constraints of convention attendees, so
> please look through the NFB-NEWSLINE? schedule
> below to see which open-house sessions are a best
> fit with your own schedule. You may feel free to
> drop in during any of the open-house sessions.
>
> For those of you unfamiliar with our new
> initiatives, here?s a brief description of each
> to whet your appetite before you come visit us in
> our suite to fill up on these goodies:
>
> Web News on Demand
>
> Web News on Demand provides all of the features
> that subscribers enjoy with the traditional,
> phone-based service, including access to all of
> their favorite publications, the TV listings, and
> the Local Information Channel content. With Web
> News on Demand subscribers can, for the first
> time ever, visit a secure, text-only Web site
> that offers the distinctive ability to view the
> entirety of any publication offered on the
> service. Further, this ability affords a
> uniquely enhanced search capability as a reader
> can search for a term throughout the
> publication?s content. A subscriber using Web
> News on Demand is able to send a full newspaper,
> a section of a newspaper, or a single article to
> his or her e-mail inbox, allowing for unrivaled
> and immediate access to a breaking news story.
>
> NFB-NEWSLINE? In Your Pocket
>
> With NFB-NEWSLINE? In Your Pocket, we've
> increased the flexibility and functionality of
> NFB-NEWSLINE? so that our subscribers can more
> easily and quickly get their news through a
> digital talking book player (such as the Victor
> Reader Stream, Icon, or Braille+). NFB-NEWSLINE?
> In Your Pocket is a dynamic software application
> that a subscriber installs on his or her computer
> that, through an Internet connection,
> automatically downloads the publications of the
> subscriber?s choice to his or her portable
> digital talking book player (such as the Victor
> Reader Stream, the Icon, or the
> Braille+). Through this revolutionary initiative
> subscribers can gain easy and immediate access to
> their favorite publications and enjoy the reading
> experience that is offered with a DAISY-reading device.
>
>
>
> Podable News
> Podable News provides publication content in an
> audio format so that subscribers can use an Ipod
> or other MP3-playing device to access their
> favorite newspapers and magazines. Also, with
> Podable News, you now have the ability to create
> your own "paper." If you like to read USA
> Today's sports coverage, but prefer the Wall
> Street Journal's technology reporting, and you
> never miss The New Yorker's Shouts and Murmurs
> column, you'll really appreciate NFB-NEWSLINE?'s
> innovative functionality using your MP3-playing device.
>
> KeyStream
> This initiative streams NFB-NEWSLINE? publication
> content over the Internet, allowing for the same
> usability and flexibility as the traditional,
> phone-based service, but is accessed with your
> computer. KeyStream is quite easy to use, even
> for those with very little computer experience.
