About Ohio Radio Reading Service
-
Ohio's Radio Reading Service (ORRS) and its eight member organizations provide up-to-date, usable information to more than 124,000 print impaired Ohioans by turning printed material into sound. They meet the need for this information by utilizing local volunteers to produce daily broadcasts of topical printed materials, including newspapers, magazines, advertisements and books. This enables listeners to be aware of local events, election information, grocery and department store ads, on-air discussion of local, state, and federal issues and much more.
Additionally, ORRS provides access to information through Ohio Telephone Reader (OTR). The OTR allows 30 Ohio and national newspapers to be easily accessed for free through a touch-tone phone system. Many of the ORRS organizations also provide audio streaming of their programs through each organization's website.
