Vikki: Don't you love it
when you find a tool that makes life a little easier?
I certainly do.
And in this workshop, we'll have a look at BARD Express.
A handy tool that makes searching for
and downloading BARD books super easy.
BARD stands for Braille and Audio Reading Download.
It is a free service from the National Library Service
for the blind or NLS.
BARD Express is a free Windows-based program
that allows us to search bar using different criteria,
such as by titles, authors and keywords.
BARD Express makes downloading books and magazines a breeze.
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.
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?
