How do I find work as a reader for the blind or as a narrator for books on tape?

I need to earn money with this, so volunteer slots won't be the best solution for me.


Here are the people that already do that work, why not get in touch with them directly.

(You are now a step nearer to the job you would like to do, Good Luck.)

Where can you get books on tape for a post graduate history course?

We've tried The Blind Association but their books require a special type of player. Where can I get books on tape? Is there an organization that will record books on order?

What organization will record books on tape for atheists?

My atheist heathen brother is taking post graduate courses in American History. The Association for the Blind records books but they require a special type player. Does anyone know where he can get special books recorded?
My brother is not blind. He is an atheist tho.
Where can he get books on tape by giving the title and author and they will record for him.
I said he's an atheist, which he is, because of being in this section.


so what, just because he's an atheist, he can't get audiobooks?

EDIT: anybody can get audiobooks, no matter what your religion. go to barnes & noble, or ask the professor.

Sports magazines on tape or CD for the blind?

My grandfather, who was always an avid sports fan, has maclear degeneration, and has unfortunately gone blind. While he can still listen to sports on TV and the radio, he doesnt have anything to listen to when a live game isnt on. He also has some physical limitations which keep him pretty stationary, so getting out and doing things is out of the question. So- the question here is, are there any magazine publishers, or groups, that take magazines like The Sporting News, ESPN the Magazine, Sports Illustrated, etc, and put them onto tape or CD for the blind to listen to? And if so, where can I find it? It would really make a big difference to an elderly couple (because he also drives my grandmother crazy when he's bored). Books on tape at the library dont help- he's apparently listened to all of the ones available at his local library already!


You could do this yourself!!! you could buy the magazine and then read it out through a microphone to your computer and then put it onto a CD disk- your grandad can then play it on a walkman. This would save you money and wouldn't take too long to do.

What are some good hobbies for a newly blind person to try?

I have a dear friend who has recently lost her sight and can no longer do the same hobbies she used to. She enjoyed reading, crosswords, crocheting and knitting, but is finding all of those too hard and frustrating now - even with large print books. Aside from books on tape, what else can you think of that I could suggest to her to try that might bring some enjoyment back to her life?

Thank you.


Your friend can still knit! If someone would take a look to check that her knitting is correct, help fix mistakes, or give direction, she could continue to knit. I had a friend that said her grandmother continued to knit after she was older and blind. The sweaters she turned out, and the granddaughter wore, were crazy colors but still wearable. Your friend could continue with scarfs because they have straight sides. Sometimes I knit in the dark and can continue because I feel the needle points and can feel around for the yarn placement.

  • Recording for the Blind and Dyslexic: Books on Tape for the Blind ...

    In 1948, Anne T. Macdonald began what would become the nationwide nonprofit organization first called Recording for the Blind (RFB), which is now known as Recording for the Blind and Dyslexic (RFB&D). After World War II some servicemen returned home from the war having lost their sight in combat. These soldiers wanted to take advantage of the new GI Bill but were unable to read the textbooks. They sent letters to the New York Public Library's Women's Auxiliary and Macdonald's famous quote, "Education is a right, not a privilege" led her to began recording the textbooks at the New York Public Library with the help of the Women's Auxiliary. The women recorded the books on SoundScriber vinyl phonograph discs.
