The Berkshire Chapter Of Recording For The Blind & Dyslexic Introduces Downloadable Audio Textbooks10:49AM / Monday, September 08, 2008
For 60 years Recording for the Blind & Dyslexic (RFB&D) has produced audio textbooks proven to boost student performance in reading and comprehension, while also boosting independence and self-confidence. Over time, the original practice of recording books onto phonographs eventually gave way to reel-to-reel technology, cassette tapes and finally compact discs.
Now, with the new AudioAccess, RFB&D members and their schools can simply download thousands of RFB&D audiotexts onto a compatible media player. All students need to install the software is Microsoft Windows XP or Vista, high-speed Internet, and a compatible portable media player. Gaining access to the largest library of unabridged audio textbooks and literature in the United States just got a whole lot easier!
Join RFB&D and try new AudioAccess today - the benefits go beyond words.
