Question:
How can I access Audiobooks?
Unfortunately, the Bond Library does not subscribe to audiobooks as part of its current collection.
You can access audiobooks by creating a membership with the state library or your local public library service:
Text-to-speech (TTS)
Did you know you can often convert text to audio?
TTS is a type of assistive technology that reads digital text aloud. It is sometimes called “read aloud” technology. Some devices come with TTS built-in, while you can also install TTS software.
Mac computers:
Every Mac computer comes with a built-in TTS (text to speech), which you can use to read out text and eBooks on your screen.
Simply select the text > Right-click > More > Start Speaking. More options are available in System Preferences>Accessibility>Speech.
Windows computers:
Programs such as Adobe Reader have features such as ‘Read Out Loud’, a Text-to-Speech (TTS) tool. It reads text contained within a document window.
Web browser often include read aloud functionality too.
