Re: BARD 2.0 is in the app store

[Gerardo Corripio]

BARD stands for "Braille Audio Reading Downloads" which is part of the United States's Talking Book library program, part of the Library of Congress. The app used to browse and download onto the iPhone has been updated, thus the concept of BARD 2.0. Hope this helps some.

I think the new system works great. The search is at the top and searching for an author seems to get just that author and not any combination of the first and last name, etc.   Here is what the update says: Version 2.0 includes a number of new features, including in-app search capabilities: -Search inputs are more intuitive. Author search supports First Name, Last Name format; Last Name, First Name; and Last Name only. Quotation marks are no longer required. For example, input “Mary Clark” (without quotations) to find all the Mary Higgins Clark titles. -Keyword search supports searching all indexed metadata and can help users looking for multiple criteria. For example, to find a Terri Pratchett book narrated by Nick DePinto, a user can simply input “dePinto Terri“ (without quotations). -After a user inputs a search, they can amend the search type, the inputted term itself, or the format (audio or braille), and sort results alphabetically by author, title, or latest publication date. -In-app search now includes NLS Music collection holdings, allowing users to access the variety of musical appreciation and biography books, scores, and music instructional titles.  -Users can switch between audio and braille searches. For example, input “learn guitar” (without quotation marks) with the search defaults to find audio instructional titles, then select the braille format and the search button again to find braille titles. Version 2.0 also includes enhancements to searching and sorting Bookshelf and Get Books listings. Bug fixes include: -Rewind controls skipping further than intended -Sideloading books  -Downloading and reading non-ASCII foreign language book titles   Richard “People demand freedom of speech as a compensation for the freedom of thought which they seldom use.” - Søren Kierkegaard   My web site: https://www.turner42.com 🦅   -- The following information is important for all members of the V iPhone list.   If you have any questions or concerns about the running of this list, or if you feel that a member's post is inappropriate, please contact the owners or moderators directly rather than posting on the list itself.   Your V iPhone list moderator is Mark Taylor.
