introduction to Infosound

Infosound, which is a registered charity, brings free, accessible, impartial and relevant information to vision-impaired (blind and partially-sighted) people across the UK - information on subjects that directly affect those who live with sight loss.

As our name suggests we provide that information in audio (mainly by interviewing people who have something to say) and everything we offer is also freely available to anyone who is related to, who cares for or who supports a vision-impaired person in any way - and that certainly includes other information services, such as radio stations, talking newspapers and talking magazines, the major carriers of the audio material that we produce.

Our service is web-based and on this site you can:
