  • DAISY Consortium The DAISY Consortium was founded in 1996 and consists of organizations around the world who are committed to developing the Digital Accessible Information SYstem (DAISY). DAISY is a digital standard for producing accessible and navigable multimedia documents. These documents are Digital Talking Books, digital text books, or a combination of synchronised audio and text books that permit everyone, but especially people who are blind, visually impaired, or have another print disability, to experience a better way to read.
  • ReadThisToMe.org allows blind and low-vision people (clients) to have printed or handwritten documents read to them over the phone. The service is available throughout the U.S. and Canada. A ReadThisToMe volunteer receives a fax of a document, calls the client back, and reads the document over the phone.
