Accessible audiobook production for people with print disabilities.
Audio accessible is a non-profit social enterprise born from the vision of three specialists passionate about audio accessibility, literature, and inclusive technologies. Our strength: a team of over 30 narrators dedicated to our mission.
We are supported by a board of directors drawn from diverse backgrounds, bringing us the perspective and creativity needed to achieve our goals and contribute to a more inclusive society, one book at a time.
Our mission: to promote the autonomy of people with a print disability by giving them access to information and literature through the production of accessible audio content.
Removing barriers to information and literature.
Ensuring culture is a common good for everyone.
A firm commitment to local booksellers and cultural vitality.
Reflecting the richness of our communities in our productions.
We work with publishers, libraries and businesses to produce high-quality accessible audio content in both French and English. Driven by a dedicated team of experts and supported by leading technology, we transform your content into inclusive listening experiences, tailored for people with print disabilities.
We specialize in DAISY 2.02 production, the international standard for digital audio accessibility. The DAISY format allows intelligent navigation: by chapter, section, or page, with bookmarking capabilities. This technology gives users complete control over the content, equivalent to that of a sighted reader.
Alternative text writing and integration (Alt Text): making images and graphics comprehensible during audio playback.
Translation services available in French, English and select Indigenous languages.
Our mission comes to life through the dedication of passionate volunteers. Whether you are a narrator, a mentor, or simply driven by the desire to contribute to a more inclusive society, there is a place for you at Audio accessible.
Our volunteer programs offer diverse opportunities to get involved at your own pace and according to your skills:
Lend your voice to audiobooks for people with reading difficulties.
Support new volunteers in their onboarding and training.
Participate in our community reading workshops.
Contribute to creating or reviewing alternative texts.
Tous les niveaux d’expérience sont les bienvenus. Une formation est offerte à tous les nouveaux bénévoles.
We are always looking for new voices to join our team. If you want to help make reading accessible to everyone, we would love to hear from you.
