The following resources enable Braille readers to lead worship more easily and to participate fully in impromptu hymn sings. Users of other formats will also have increased access to worship resources.
- The National Library Service (NLS): Without charge, individuals can receive both a digital talking-book player and a 20-cell, refreshable Braille eReader. Martin Luther’s Small Catechism and several translations of the Bible are available. NLS at the Library of Congress
- The electronic Braille edition of Evangelical Lutheran Worship (ELW), ISBN 9781506445793, is now available from Bookshare, an independent provider of materials in EPUB scalable font, DAISY synthetic voice and BRF (Braille Ready Format). ELW was uploaded thanks to proofreading work completed by Terry Gorman, a friend of the Disability Ministries advisory team. All material from the large-print edition — liturgy, psalms and hymns — is included.
- Listen to an audio interview with Gorman, conducted by the Rev. Peter Heide, a member of the advisory team:
- Bookshare also has several editions of the NRSV and NRSVue available. My Bookshare | Bookshare
