Listen

Lothiansound recordings are available to listen to in a number of ways (all free); you can choose which is right for you (or for the person you are seeking to help):

1. By asking us, you can receive a weekly copy of Lothiansound on a usb/memory stick to play in a suitable device. The memory stick also contains a copy of the previous week's issue in case you want to listen again to a particular article. The memory stick will come to you in an easily-returnable wallet, so that Lothiansound can re-use the memory stick that you send back (but the next one will already be on its way to you!). The postage is free both ways via Articles for the Blind scheme. Send us an email to: info@lothiansound.org.uk or download a printable New Listener form to send in by post, or simply telephone us on: 0131 661 2850

Also: online listening options made possible by British Wireless for the Blind:

2. By using the link Play Lothiansound you can listen to the current edition of Lothiansound here on our website.

3. If you have a smartphone, you can search Google Play Store or Apple Store, for the free app “Speech Talking Newspaper” (be sure to choose BWFB's app!)

4. If you have a smartspeaker (e.g. ALEXA or GOOGLE ASSISTANT), you can search for the talking newspaper skills that have been developed by BWFB

Options 3. & 4. offer current editions of all participating UK talking newspapers.

5. If you need guidance/assistance or technical help with online listening (options 3. & 4.) you should contact British Wireless for the Blind: info@blind.org.uk or Phone: 01622 754757 or visit their website: www.blind.org.uk for further information.
