The Daily Times is in the process of joining the service. Though classified advertisements are available, general advertisements are not accessible. English is the only language available. A computerized voice reads the stories to listeners who can connect to the system with the touch pads on their telephones. Listeners then have the option to choose a newspaper and selected stories from the national, state or local sections.
Listeners also can skip forward, move backward or search for stories by keywords.
Voice quality and speed also can be altered for the listener. The Local Information Channel also can be accessed through Newsline. The channel includes information on community services and items of interest to members of the blind community. The call is local but a listener must have an ID number and security code.
