“Read for the Blind” application is the world first innovation for everyone to create audio books for the blind, by reading books or short articles from magazines, newspapers or any interesting websites. It is more simple and convenient, without any transport to record voices as in the past. This application supports multiple readers to read in each chapter from the same book. One may read only one chapter. Several chapters will be compiled into one book. Completed audio books or articles will be converted and transferred to “General Knowledge Hotline” 1414 which is a free service for the blind to listen to audio books on the phone.
