I don't have words to express my gratitude for this wonderful service!  I'm in my thirties, and I have wished for something like this since I was a teenager, long before the Internet became a household name.  Your website not only gives me quick and efficient access to product information, but it has also allowed me to browse products, and discover new foods that I never thought to ask for when I would get help with my grocery shopping.  I cannot thank you all enough for providing this website.

[Directions] even includes a fairly sizeable beer section and a quick search reveals that a few entries for Moosehead and Sleeman are listed, so these people are fine by me. I can definitely see myself using this and it coming in quite handy, so give it a look.

I was so excited when I found out directions for me was finally launched. I've been letting a lot of people know about it. I remember when it was in the testing stages because I was one of the people who tested it. The site is awesom. I searched for a bunch of things and they all came up with clear, concise information. I even e-mailed Camille to let her know how awesome it is and how blind friendly it is. Go Horizons and especially, go Camille! You guys did it again.

Thank you aren't enough words to say for this web site! It's so wonderful! I just checked it out. I can't tell you how many times I've needed to know the directions for a box of something that I hadn't prepared for eons and couldn't exactly remember how to cook the stuff! Wish I had the afternoon to just browse this site! You can bet it's a new favorite on my favorites list!!

 Just a note to let you know that the "my directions for me" site is wonderful!  I had Lean Cuisine pizza for lunch, and was able to find directions really fast!  Thanks!

Thank you for providing this service. My wife Karin and I really appreciatehaving this information available. It must take a lot of time to research and post this material. Thanks again.

I think the directionsforme site is wonderful!  It's so great to get directions for a Hamburger Helper and information about lotions, soups, and other products.  You have greatly increased independence for those of us who are blind.  Thank you so much!

 I've been a long admirer of Horizons for the blind and co-host a cooking show with Ken Metz on Accessible World dot org once a month.  I just came home with a Claim Jumper Dutch apple pie and your directions are helping me get it into the oven in a timely manner! I teach living skills, cooking, and braille at the Braille Institute and I will be recommending http://www.directionsforme.org to my students. Thanks so much for a wonderful job.

I recently found out about Directions for Me in Dean Martineau's "Top Tech Tidbits" e-newsletter. I am finding this service to be extremely valuable and easy to use. I have looked up a few things on here and have gotten accurate results each time. I will admit I'm not much of a cook, but I think this resource will prove to be extremely useful for me and others in the future. Thanks and I look forward to more being added to the site.
