As our name suggests, we provide that information in audio 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 includes information services, such as talking newspapers, talking magazines and radio stations, which are major carriers of the audio material that we produce.

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

Hear the current weekly 15-minute bulletin of news and information, covering a range of different topics about living with sight loss.

Hear the currently monthly 1-hour audio news and information service that can also be posted direct to vision-impaired people's homes.

Listen to past editions of the weekly Infosound Briefing and the monthly Infosound Despatch.
