There is live streaming audio feed to our daily programming on our website Our archival system with almost 20,000 single articles is sorted by category and/or by source on our website Our website address: www.voiceprintcanada.com We are introducing a new initiative called Local Broadcast Centers (LBCs). As a part of our commitment to provide access to printed material for print-restricted Canadians, we will implement 100 LBCs across the country over the next 7 years. Each LBC will read from the local newspapers in the community. They will have a web page on our web site and a lead story from an LBC will air on the half hour of VoicePrint Canada’s National service. This is how they work: Volunteers come to the office at their scheduled time and read through the community newspapers that are made available to them. They will select articles based on five categories: News, Sports, Births/Deaths, Community Events and Grocery Specials. They will use a computer and an audio software application to record themselves. They will send their lead news story to the National Office They will upload their articles to a specified website There is no audio software or web experience necessary as all training will be provided by volunteers should be possess basic computer knowledge.
