-: Hi, I'm Vikki Vaughan.
And in today's workshop,
we'll download a BARD book to our computer.
We'll then transfer our book
to an NLS digital talking book cartridge.
Throughout the workshop, we'll refer
to our storage device as a cartridge.
But it's great to know we can also download books
to USB flash drives.
This series is intended for screen reader users.
If you prefer to use your mouse,
be sure to check out the low vision version of this series
on the Hadley website.
Now it's important to note that
we must have an active BARD account to use BARD express.
If you'd like to learn more,
have a look at the first workshop in this series,
to learn how to set up your own free account.
In the search BARD workshop,
we selected our book and now we're ready for the next step.
Ed: 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.
Learning 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'd 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 help 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?
