Talking Newspaper

nab produces two versions of its talking newspapers “Sound News”, one based on the Chronicle & Echo for the Northampton area and the other based on the Evening Telegraph for Kettering/Corby/Oundle & District.

A magazine tape is also provided each week.

This free service is available to any visually impaired person who cannot read normal small newspaper print. You do not have to be registered blind or partially sighted (Contact Talking Newspaper Service).

Recordings are made on standard cassettes so you do not need a special machine to listen to the tapes. Royal Mail handle the tapes as First Class Post under “ARTICLES FOR THE BLIND” and the service is free of charge.

The service, which sends out in the region of 62,000 tapes a year, is operated entirely by a dedicated team of volunteers who turn out whatever the weather.
