[Vabs] [Nfbmd] WANTED: PARTICIPANTS TO TEST THE AUDIO QUALITY OF RADIO READING SERVICES

[Daniel Schwab]

Over the coming weeks, NPR Labs will begin testing Radio Reading 
Service broadcasts to ensure that transmission quality remains 
acceptable during the transition to digital radio.  We will be 
testing individuals who are either blind or have profound vision 
loss.  We are particularly interested in hearing from individuals who 
have listened to radio reading services in the past, or who currently 
listen to radio reading services.  Male and female participants above 
the age of 18 are welcome.  We will be able to test 2 people at once, 
so if anyone would like to come with a friend, we can accommodate 
you! The test should last approximately 2 hours and will be held at 
National Public Radio's headquarters located in Northwest Washington 
D.C. Each participant will receive $50 for his/her participation. If 
you would like more information, or would like to participate, please 
contact Dan Schwab at 202-513-2466 or by email at dschwab at npr.org.
