Frequently Asked Questions

Are books recorded by volunteers?

Frequently Asked Questions
Only a few. About 7 percent of audio books produced for NLS each year are recorded in volunteer studios. One reason that this number is not larger is that it is very difficult to reach and maintain the quality standards for NLS books, so many volunteer studios choose to record books and magazines for their local area only. Also, since volunteers seldom narrate every day, volunteer studios tend to take much longer to record books.

On what kind of medium will the digital books be recorded?

NLS: Frequently Asked Questions: Digital Talking Books
Many factors will determine the physical medium for the digital talking book. Copyright law requires that the materials circulated be in a "specialized format" not usable by the general public. The medium must be resistant to damage both in the mail and in the hands of users. The medium must be low in cost, and able to accommodate a print/braille label. NLS staff envisions that some type of flash memory cartridge would best meet these needs.
