Begin forwarded message: From: "Richard J. Smith" <[email protected]> Date: December 28, 2012, 9:18:27 AM CST To: [email protected] Subject: News from NFB-NEWSLINE Reply-To: Wolfner Library Announcement List <[email protected]> News from NFB-NEWSLINE We are pleased to announce that NFB-NEWSLINE® Mobile App 2.0 is now in the Apple App Store for you to download. We have made several improvements and smoothed out some of the bugs that appeared after the iOS 6.0 update was released by Apple. Now you should have a better user experience and access to some of the other information provided by NFB-NEWSLINE. Now you can receive your emergency weather alerts right on your iPhone with the NFB-NEWSLINE Mobile App. If there is a weather alert for your area, and your address and zip code is up to date on your NFB-NEWSLINE® account, you will hear a message saying “weather alert” when you launch your NFB-NEWSLINE® Mobile app, and you will feel your iPhone vibrate. Just double tap on the weather alert button when you hear the alert, and you can read the entire weather alert on your iPhone. Please keep in mind that only the iPhone will vibrate, since only the iPhone has the built-in vibration motor. Those of you running the NFB-NEWSLINE® Mobile App on an iPad or an iPod will only receive the voice alert without the vibration. If you want to get just the vibration alert without the voice alert, you can turn off the voice alert for weather alerts in the settings menu. If you need to update your address and zip code, you can call 1-866-504-7300, or e-mail [email protected]. We have also added a Messages section, so that you may read the latest announcements and information that we post on NFB-NEWSLINE. We put up messages from time to time to inform our subscribers about latest enhancements and changes to NFB-NEWSLINE, and these can be read from the Messages section in the NFB-NEWSLINE® Mobile App. The Messages button will appear under the welcome message on your home screen. Please note that messages will only appear if you have active Internet service through a Wi-Fi connection or your mobile carrier. You can also read more extensively about these new changes and enhancements to NFB-NEWSLINE® in the Messages section. We have made other small improvements and changes to the NFB-NEWSLINE® Mobile App that will enhance your user experience. For example, now you can update your subscriptions in the subscriptions section without any problems, and the jump to channel on-screen keyboard in the TV listings has been improved so that now you get the numeric keypad when typing in a channel number instead of the full QWERTY keyboard. The National Federation of the Blind developed NFB-NEWSLINE® to be used by anyone who cannot read a printed newspaper because of a visual or physical disability. NFB-NEWSLINE® uses the latest digital technology to bring blind and visually impaired readers an easy-to-use telephone service that “reads” all the text from various newspapers across the country. Users need only a touch-tone phone and their personal identification numbers to access the nationwide, toll-free number. By following a touch-tone menu, you will be able to access different sections of the newspaper—the front page, the sports page, the business page, etc. You choose the newspaper and voice you prefer. The newspapers from Missouri currently available through NFB-NEWSLINE® are: · Columbia Daily Tribune · Jefferson City News Tribune · Kansas City Star · Saint Joseph News Press · Saint Louis American · Saint Louis Post Dispatch · Southeast Missourian · Springfield News Leader Applying for NFB-NEWSLINE® is as easy as a phone call, and there is no application or subscription fee. Call Wolfner Library at 800-392-2614 and staff can sign you up for the service over the telephone. All users are assigned a personal identification number (PIN) and a security code to gain access to NFB-NEWSLINE® . Richard J.
