BARD Express Release

NLS is pleased to announce the release of BARD Express, version 3.0.0.7. This release includes the long-awaited BARD Express Player, which allows patrons to choose an audio book or magazine from their BARD Express bookshelf and listen to it directly on their PC. 

Much like BARD Mobile, the BARD Express Player allows users to adjust the narration speed; jump to navigation points such as part, chapter, and article; create bookmarks; and much more. Users can also create global settings for narration speed, auto-play, auto-rewind, and more. 

Patrons using JAWS and NVDA can either use the tab key to move to each of the player’s functions or tap a single letter assigned to that function. For example, they can type F for fast forward, R for rewind, and B for bookmarks. A complete list of commands can be found under the BARD Express Help menu.

Scripts are built into the 2024 version of JAWS to optimize the BARD Express Player. Patrons using JAWS 2022 or 2023 can download the same scripts from the  <https://links-1.govdelivery.com/CL0/https:%2F%2Fwww.loc.gov%2Fnls%2Fhow-to-enroll%2Fsign-up-for-bard-and-bard-mobile%2Fwelcome-to-bard-express%2F/1/0100019138aeada3-bf1ef567-a7cc-4957-b8bc-2ae827dbe611-000000/gjO93KjMFOxe86No6GrF-EA8UwBjWxviOWlwnwJMWH8=365> BARD Express page on the NLS website and import them into their screen readers. 

We recommend reading Section 7 of the BARD Express user guide, which is dedicated to the BARD Express Player to familiarize yourself with the new player.
