Accessible Audiobooks

Accessible audiobooks are digital books specifically engineered to support people with print disabilities (including blindness, low vision, dyslexia, or other reading challenges) so they can read independently and access information without barriers.

Unlike standard audiobooks, accessible audiobooks include enhanced navigation features that allow listeners to jump between chapters, sections, or even specific pages with precision. Most accessible audiobooks use the DAISY 2.02 format, which offers structured navigation, bookmarking, and compatibility with a wide range of assistive technologies. To access these features, users typically listen through a DAISY-compatible reader or software.

At Described Video Canada, we produce fully compliant accessible audiobooks designed to meet organizational, educational, and regulatory requirements. Whether you’re creating an accessible version of a novel, training manual, policy document, textbook, or long-form report, we ensure your content is delivered in a format that supports every reader.
