Yes, I just added it. You do a one finger double tap and when you hear a two
tone sound say "favorites". Wait and it will give you your options. Add is
number one so do the one finger double tap and say either 1 or add. Then it
will ask what country, follow the same process. Then what state and you can
say Ohio. Then you can say Columbus. The Columbus Dispatch is the only option
in Columbus so say 1 and it is added. The next time you go to the first page
Columbus Dispatch will be there. Be sure to remember that any time you want to
give a command you need to do a one finger double tap and wait for the two tone
sound. There are also gestures but I have not worked with them any. Let me
know if you need further help.

Troy, I am not sure what you mean by "local newspapers." I listened to
the interview on Blind Bargains and found it very helpful. I added the
Cincinnati Enquirer to my list and gained a lot of valuable information from
the interview. It is a great app!

Sorry I didn't get back to you on this sooner. I'm inserting a
guide below
on the gesture alternatives for EARL. in our next release
(anticipating the
week of Feb 25 in conjunction with C-Sun), we have some updates to
our help
function that we hope will make it much easier to use.
Gesture alternatives for certain voice commands
We’ve designed Earl so that every single function can be controlled
using
the double tap gesture followed by one of Earl’s voice commands.
For users who are comfortable using gestures, we have also built in
some
gesture controls that can be used instead of voice commands for
certain
navigational and playback functions. Voice over Users will find
Earl’s
gestures familiar. With a bit of practice, these gestures can speed
up
navigation in Earl when used in conjunction with our voice
commands.
Earl Function Voice Command
1 finger double tap + Gesture Equivalent
Stop reading STOP 2 finger double tap
Resume reading START 2 finger double tap
Read screen from top READ AGAIN Two finger scrub side
to side
Move up 1 paragraph MOVE UP 3 finger swipe downward
Move down 1 paragraph MOVE DOWN 3 finger swipe upward
Go back 1 screen in history GO BACK 3 finger swipe
to the right
Go forward 1 screen in history GO FORWARD 3 finger
swipe to the left
