Third-Party Equipment for BARD

Many patrons are interested in purchasing their own players or book cartridges to use the NLS BARD program, rather than waiting on their NLS-provided equipment.  There are currently five third-party players you may purchase to use the BARD program.

Players:

APH Braille Plus Mobile Manager

HIMS BookSense

HumanWare Victor Reader Stream

LevelStar Icon

PLEXTALK Pocket PTP1


Cartridges:

Independent Living Aids


NLS does not endorse any of these players, but they are all available for private purchase.
