-: When was the last time
you picked up a box of cake mix
or a piece of business mail or a pill bottle
and you thought, "I need to know the directions
"or the return address or the right dose,
"and I can't read the small print on this to find out.
"I wish this thing would just talk to me
"and tell me what I need to know.
"It would be so simple."
So what if that box or letter or bottle could talk to you?
What if anything in your house
with printed information on it had a special feature
that could speak that information to you
so you could hear it and not struggle to read it?
You can actually add that special feature yourself
with something called an audio label.
Well, that sounds great, right?
But what is an audio label?
It's not something many of us are familiar with.
A label, it's a small piece of paper, fabric, plastic,
or similar material attached to an object
and gives information about it.
An audio label is exactly that.
Now that you've had a chance to learn a bit with us,
we'd like to learn more about you,
your name, email address, how you heard about Hadley,
and your relationship to vision loss.
Leaning more will give us a better understanding
of how to personalize Hadley just for you.
And don't worry.
Everything you share with us online
will be kept safe and secure.
Of course, if you prefer to talk through these questions,
we're just a phone call away
at 800-323-4238.
Taking these few steps saves your preferences
so you can continue right where you left off
and track your progress every time you log on,
plus it connects you to the Hadley community
and helps sustain our funding
to keep Hadley free of charge.
And last but not least, it gives you direct access
to experts like me.
Now, where were we?
