Standard Talking Book Player: Getting to Know Your NLS Player

Hi, I'm Vikki Vaughan, and today we'll explore the NLS standard digital talking book player.

If you're unsure about which player you're using, there's an easy way to distinguish between the standard and advanced players. You'll want to locate the round speaker on the front of your player. If there are five keys directly below the speaker labeled info, previous, menu, next, and mark, you have the advanced player. The standard player does not have these five buttons. If you have the NLS advanced digital book player, check out Hadley's version of this workshop especially designed for your player.

If you have the standard player, you're in the right place for learning everything your player can do. Let's start off by discussing the features found on your player. To begin, we'll place our player on a desk, or tabletop, with the handle facing toward us.

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 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?
