[nabs-l] to Joshua and list

[Peter Donahue]

Good evening everyone,

    A professional representing an agency for the blind should know to 
proofread their e-mail messages prior to sending them. We do this and run 
them through spell-check before they're sent.

Hey NABSters,

I am writing for a couple of reasons. Starting with Joshua's suggestion 
about Learning Ally posting samples of readers' voices. Perhaps you didn't 
know we use more than 5,000 volunteers to read our audiobooks. The readers 
are assigned books based on their specificc subject knowledge; e.g. a 
physicist reads physics, a native speaker of Spanish reads Spanish language, 
etc. The volunteers read for at least two hours a week and many readers are 
assigned to a book so that it can be completed and uploaded for us as 
quickly as possible.

With all of these factors, Learning Ally does offer book samples on thee 
website but providing samples of a volunteer group thaa changes on a regular 
basis doesn't seem feasible.

You may know tha tthe NLS hires paid actors or voicers to read the majority 
of those books and that individual readers read specificgenres of books, 
such as mysteries, true crime, romance, etc.

I also would like to be ghelpful in any area in which you are having 
difficulty with Learning Ally. If watching the YouTube video doesn't work, 
wy not call tech support? OOur blind tech experts are wonderful in 
explaining processes and answering questions about how something works. In 
addition, so that I can help YOU, please let mek now what specific issues 
you are having with the website.

You can e-mail me offlist if your question or issue is lengthy so that this 
list doesn't get monoopolized.

Many thanks,

Annemarie Cooke
Learning Ally consultant (and member)
