Dear List Members,

The full BARD Mobile user guide is available from within the application. To
read it, open the Bookshelf tab. There you will find five categories: Audio
Books, Audio Magazines, Braille Books, Braille Magazines, and Help.
Double-tap Help and you'll find one item called User Guide.

The user guide is displayed as a web page. The table of contents is at the
top, and each item in it is an in-page link, meaning that if you select it,
you will be taken directly to the text for that item. Each table of contents
entry is also a heading, so you can skim through the guide by changing the
rotor to Headings and flicking down with one finger.

Standard VoiceOver reading commands work just fine. To have VoiceOver read
from the current position, swipe down with two fingers. To pause and resume
the speech, do a two-finger single tap.

When you're finished reading Help, select the Help back button in the upper
left corner of the screen, and then select the "Bookshelf: Select Category"
back button.

If you have Internet access when you read the user guide, BARD Mobile will
load the most recent version of the guide from the NLS website. If you
don't, BARD Mobile will load the version that was current when your version
of BARD Mobile was created. So over time, there may be discrepancies between
the online and offline versions.

It's a good idea for everyone to read the user guide, but if you plan to
read braille books, it's particularly important that you read Section 7, as
it tells you how to configure your braille display and provides keystrokes
that will make it easy to read and navigate braille books and magazines.

We hope you'll find the user guide helpful as you learn to use BARD Mobile.

Sincerely,
The BARD Technical Support Team
