Detailed Services Description |
ReadThisToMe is a free reading service for blind and low-vision people, powered by volunteers and Internet collaboration. ReadThisToMe allows blind and low-vision people (clients) to have printed documents read to them over the phone. All a person needs is a fax machine to send a document to be read and a phone line to have it read to them.
1. The client faxes the document to be read to the ReadThisToMe toll-free fax number: 1-877-333-8848.
2. The first page of the fax needs to be a cover page that includes the client's first name and callback (voice) phone number.
3. The document itself can be just about anything: a handwritten letter, a bill, a can of food, a multi-page magazine article -- just about anything that can be faxed.
4. One of ReadThisToMe's volunteer readers will call the client back — usually within an hour — and read the document.
That's it!
