Audio CDs
Requests for documentation on audio CD are rare, but they can be time consuming.
It may be worthwhile first asking the individual if an electronic version of the document might be acceptable instead.
If not, short documents can be fairly quickly read and recorded using a microphone and recorder available from Audio Visual and multimedia service.
Read and Write
For longer documents the software package Read and Write 10 which provides a text to speech option is available. The software is available on all the open access labs and on staff computers and creates an audio file which can then be saved on CD, USB or in another format.
User services staff will be happy to show you how to use Read and Write, which can also be used for longer documents.
