BARD Screen Reader: Intro to BARD Express Main Menu

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.

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.
