VOICEcorps Reading Service, based in Columbus, Ohio, operates within information services to provide around-the-clock access to printed information for people who are blind or have print disabilities. A network of volunteers reads local, regional, and national publications and hosts live call-in programs for listeners in Ohio. Founded in 1975 by three blind individuals, VOICEcorps was the first reading service in the United States established by people who were blind, and it has mobilized more than 200 volunteers to deliver accessible readings. Its primary audience includes people who cannot read print due to blindness, low vision, or other conditions, addressing barriers to accessing news and information. In 2022, the organization expanded its offices to Northwest Ohio, signaling geographic growth while continuing to serve listeners in Ohio.
