Sugar ******* Free Service to the blind There is a wonderful free service for blind people, and all you need is a telephone line and a fax machine. You can fax any document, whether it's a handwritten letter, or a recipe, whatever, and a volunteer will call you back and read it to you. You can either go to the website, or you can call a toll-free number to hear the website's information. IMPORTANT: When faxing, the first page must be a cover page that contains your first name, plus a voice callback number. It is a free service but donations are accepted. (For those of you who receive The This Is True publication, you'll be reading about this service on Friday. If you are a premium subscriber, it's in last night's issue.) Each of the words in the web address has the intial letter capitalized, even the word "To". The web address is: http://www.ReadThisToMe.org The audio version of the website is: (877) 333-8847 To fax a document, it's the same number, except the final digit is an 8: (877) 333-8848. This is wonderful for those who do not have an Optacon or a scanner, or for those documents that simply cannot be read with an Optacon or a scanner. This service is only available in the US because the volunteers call back at their own expense. __._,_.___ Sugar Syl says: Good friends are like stars ... you don't always see them, but you know they're always there. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ Access the Recipes And More list archives at: http://www.mail-archive.com/recipesandmore%40googlegroups.com/ Visit the group home page at: http://groups.google.com/group/RecipesAndMore -~----------~----~----~----~------~----~------~--~---
