Product Information

As our first step, the Internet Archive is supporting the Library of Congress National Library Service (NLS) for the Blind and Physically Handicapped library program to circulate Braille, audio or DAISY materials to eligible readers. This program is only available to residents of the United States or American citizens living abroad. Get help choosing books from our experienced library team, or get technology or reading advice in your own home from our national team of volunteers. Also comes with a silicone case, rechargeable battery, mains charger, earphones and two USB cables. DAISYtalking books are an older approach to providing audio representations of your module materials with built in navigation and accessibility features, allowing you to listen to text at the same time as viewing it on screen. Our DAISYs are produced automatically within the workflow we currently use as we scan books. They rely on the OCR produced in the scanning process and are therefore susceptible to errors, which may include weird characters, non-words, and guesses at structure where we can't find any. We're thinking about ways to get community input into OCR and book structure error correction. (If you're interested in helping us, or know of good resources in these areas, please let us know.)
