More News Now Available to the Visually Impaired through NJ Newspapers

As reported by MyCentralNewJersey.com, "The New Jersey State Library Talking Book & Braille Center's Audiovision radio reading service of select NJ newspapers is now available on television to subscribers of Cablevision, Comcast and Verizon Fios. Audiovision provides access to newspapers for people with print disabilities including blindness; low vision; a physical disability that makes it difficult to hold a book; or a learning disability with a physical basis. The companies are now broadcasting Audiovision on the Spanish secondary audio language (SAP) channel of New Jersey Network (NJN). Access instructions are available at http://www.audiovision-nj.org/listen.html.

"Newspapers broadcast include the Home News Tribune, Asbury Park Press, Bergen Record, Camden Courier Post, Newark Star Ledger, Trenton Times, the South Jersey edition of the Philadelphia Inquirer, the New York Times and the Wall Street Journal. Programming includes local news, grocery ads, editorials, obituaries, cooking, health, disability news, senior citizen issues and more, read by volunteers at the Talking Book & Braille Center's Mercer County studios.

"Audiovision went live with archived audio files for its listeners, the second radio reading service Internet streaming site in the nation at http://www.audiovision-nj.org/. Equipment has been provided through grants from the National Telecommunications and Information Administration, as well as through federal funds from the Americans with Disabilities Act."

For more information on Audiovision call 1-800-792-8322 or visit http://www.audiovision-nj.org/.

I think this is a wonderful opportunity for local professionals, including Realtors, to provide local, free content to be included in the papers which will accept community input.  It's an exciting concept to me to be able to reach out and provide more information to these buyers and sellers about our Mercer County NJ real estate.
