Books On Tape For The Blind

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.)

LibriVox provides free audiobooks from the public domain. There are several options for listening. The first step is to get the mp3 or ogg files into your own computer:

I can see what you see not, Vision milky then eyes rot. When you turn they will be gone, Whispering their hidden song. Then you see what cannot be ...

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?

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.

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.

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.
