Jackie, first off there's
www.blindcooltech.com
There stuff's all spoken reviews.
How's about the Soundings Magazine:
www.soundings.org
There interviews are very well recorded on the whole so no problems
understanding what's being said.
Cheers,
From Ray

Hi List
The tutor of the online course I am doing in Sports Journalism has
sent me the request pasted below. Does anyone have any suggestions I
could pass onto him please?
The info he is looking for is below my signature.
Many thanks for any help.
Jackie
I wondered if I could pick your brains? We are developing online
shorthand training for journalists, and I have been recording
dictation passages as voice
files, which we send as email attachments. This works quite well.
But I wondered - do you know any good sites where there are audios or
podcasts etc containing passages of people speaking? It doesn't really
matter what
the passages are about, or how long - though if you new any shorthand
dictation sites this would be wonderful!
We've searched the web high and low, with limited results ofher nthan
BBC news-type podcasts - but it occured to me that there might be
facilities for the
blind that we may not have heard of?
Or - are there any good, free screen readers available to download -
so that we could send people text, which could be read to them -
though preferably
the students would be able to select the speed at so-many words per
minute.
