When your obtaining your textbooks, which do you use most often? The only audio text book I'm familiar with is the one from RFB&D their Daisy reader. Is there other sources of audio textbooks other than RFB&D? I don't know much about it cause i'm new to this thing, so if you know of any better audio textbooks out there, feel free to post it here. Thanks
Hi, is there a reason why you prefer audio to text?
I've never used audio for a textbook.
Thanks....
I always use those regular textbooks with no audio or large prints. I was interested in those cause it gets me through one chapter faster than when I read a regular textbook. That is why I like using those Daisy Reader textbooks cause they got a feature where you can increase the speed of the textbook while your listening to it. I think its a good thing cause when your in the middle of doing a lot of homework, it helps to cover a chapter faster. You save more time. It takes me two hour to read one chapter when I use those daisy readers, it takes me thirty minutes or less depending on the lenth of the chapter. It depends on persoanl preferences. Some people like audio textbook, some like the regular ones. I use both.
I know sometimes the publishers will have one like that. My school got me some of these on Audio book. I had a copy of my English book and then I had something like that of my biology book. Yeah, I prefer braille though, I tend to catch more.
I can sea advantages for using braille and audio. When reading braille you tend to ketch the spellings of words especially for science and other such things.But as in my case I have audio text books because allot of the teachers like to give homework so you don't have to brake your back carrying them home. I use braille for math though. I couldn't make it through math with out my math braille book!
Oi, Math on audio... I think just about anyone would have trouble. I love English books in audio, though, and that's the only, because sometimes it's just more entertaining to listen to the stuff and stories. That's the only real good one on tape.
i use Cd's.
What kind of media if any do people use for there audio text books?
I prefer E-books, the ones you can transfer to your braille device or your computer. I have my world history on e-book. It's really handy, but I also like CD's and as I said my favorite one is English on Audio CD's.
As far as audio textbooks go, i've only tried using those Daisy readers. Can someone explain these terms, i'm confused. What are Open Book, Victor Stream, and E Books? The only book scanning software I'm familiar with is Kurzweil. Yeah, English, Literature, Education, and those Social Science textbooks are good in audio. But as far as math application and scientific explanations, your better off using braille, large print, or in my case regular print. Cause its easier to see those step by step explanations that involve numbers and such.
