Requests for documentation as audio files are rare, but they can be time consuming. It may be worthwhile first asking the individual if an electronic version of the document might be acceptable instead. If not, short documents can be fairly quickly read and recorded using a microphone and recorder available from the IS Audio Visual and multimedia service. Audio Visual and multimedia service Read and Write For longer documents the software package Read and Write 11 which provides a text to speech option is available.
