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.
Now that you've had a chance to learn a bit with us, we'd like to learn more about you. Your email address, name, 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 are 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 the Hadley team. So now is your chance to sign up and join us.
