SUN SOUNDS OF ARIZONA BROADCAST AVAILABLE ON APPLE IPAD, IPOD, AND IPHONE VIA IBLINK RADIO APPLICATION
(Tempe, AZ)-- Sun Sounds of Arizona's broadcast, along with those of several other US and Canadian radio reading services, is now available on Apple
mobile devices, thanks to the iBlink Radio application developed by Serotek Corporation. iBlink Radio, touted as the first app for visually impaired
people, makes it easy to find current streaming and archived print information read aloud.
To download the free iBlink Radio app, go to iTunes itunes.apple.com/us/app/i-blink-radio, or
click the App Store on an Apple mobile device and search for iBlink Radio. Once installed, the iBlink Radio app offers an alphabetical listing of reading services. Look for "Arizona, Tempe, Sun Sounds" or "Arizona, Tucson, Sun Sounds" and tap the name to listen to the stream.
"We are constantly exploring new ways to offer information access," said Bill Pasco, director of Sun Sounds of Arizona, "and certainly technology
is opening doors at an amazing pace. We are excited to be able to reach a mobile, technology-savvy audience with apps like Serotek's iBlink Radio."
Sun Sounds of Arizona is an information access service primarily designed for and directed to an audience who cannot see, hold or understand
print due to a disability. Throughout the state of Arizona, Sun Sounds reaches more than 49,000 members via individual receivers, online streaming
and podcasting at sunsounds.org, and a telephone access system called Sun Dial II.
