Dial-In Newspaper & Magazine Service
Dial-In Newspaper and Magazine Reading
If you live beyond
This service enables visually and physically
disabled individuals to "read" (hear) the morning paper, yesterday's
paper and selected other publications - any time of day or night, seven days a
week. Using only their own touch-tone telephones, they can access all of the
available publications, whenever they choose to do so. For the Dial IN instructions in an audio format please click here.
Each day, starting early in the morning,
volunteers read the Washington Post
and USA Today into a computer: news and editorial pages, sports, the larger
ads, special sections and the weekly supplements including TV Logs. Pictures, charts, graphs and
cartoons are fully described.
Other publications include
Time
Washingtonian
People
magazine
ACB Reports
Disability News Scan
Heloise A-Z
Practical Tips For Everyday Living
And selections from the Wall Street Journal
