Talking Books and DAISY players

If you struggle to read print, we can help you discover a new way of reading with our Talking Book service.

Subscribe to the Talking Book service today and you can choose Talking Books from more than 19,000 high quality books, delivered direct to your door. Or buy it as a gift subscription for a loved one.

Borrow up to six books at a time and our speedy on-demand service means you receive the books you want straight away. All our Talking Books are recorded in DAISY audio, so most titles fit on just a single CD.

Support Talking Books

Almost two million people are living with sight loss in the UK. When you lose your sight, you feel like you lose everything.

Listening to a Talking Book is one of the things that people can enjoy without having to rely on anyone else. That feeling of independence is so important.

It costs RNIB £4 million a year to run the Talking Book service.
