Success Story

Education and employment is not possible without reading Education and employment is not possible without reading. Most of the reading material is produced as printed letters which cannot be read by persons with blindness or low vision. Talking books and Talking magazines are a very important means for bringing the printed world to the visually impaired. Since we are catering to various regional requirements, this needs to be done in many Indian Languages in spite of the predominance of the English Language

Andhjan Kalyan Trust has started a talking book production center. Recording in Digital Access Information System known as (DAISY) provides a unique navigational system through which a reader can easily and quickly access the material not only chapter wise, section wise or subsection wise, but also page wise. In other words he/she can reach the required heading/page/section almost effortlessly within no time. This system is economical as well as portable. Last year we have prepared all text books of grades V, VI and VII as talking books and distributed to the needy blind children

These recorded books can be preserved for an unlimited period and can also be upgraded easily. These books are produced on CDs and can be read on mp3 players, mobile phones or on the computer. These can be transmitted over the internet too. This year, we are planning to prepare talking books for the college going Visually Impaired students. Some Gujarat novels and poems chosen are "Parodh thata pahela" by Kundanika Kapadiya, "Amaas na tara" by Kishansinh Chavda, "Mansai na diva", by Zaverchand Meghani, "Yug vandana", by Poet Zaverchand Meghani, "Roop sundar katha", by Hasu yagnik, and "Padar na tirath", by Jayanti Dalal
