For Listeners, Volunteers, Family, Friends and Supporters
Virginia Voice is a non-profit organization that provides an audio
reading and information service
for those
who cannot read for themselves because of vision impairment or other
disability. Each week we broadcast readings from more than 100
publications, including newspapers, magazines, and informational
publications of particular interest to the "print-disabled." In
addition, we provide readings from a number of online publications and
from several online news and information sites.
Print-disabled individuals in the Greater Richmond Area and in
the
Norfolk/Hampton Roads area are able to listen to Virginia Voice on
specially tuned radios that Virginia Voice lends to
eligible applicants for the
service. We
are
on the air 365 days a year and
the
readings are also accessible online here in the form of mp3
files.
